Hsiao Fang Pottery Arts | Classic Ruby Red: Petal-Fluted Foliate Master Cup Set

Ruby Red Glaze / Petal-Fluted Foliate Master Cup Set

Master Tsai Hsiao-fang / Taipei, Taiwan

Object Profile

Rich, vibrant, and gemstone-like, Hsiao Fang’s Ruby Red glaze captures the pinnacle of classical high-fire copper reduction. Master Tsai Hsiao-fang disciplines the volatile flame to create a surface of deep, succulent crimson. During the intense firing, the subtle downward flow of glaze naturally reveals a faint white "lampwick rim" at the mouth, transitioning gracefully into dense, velvety red along the body—a signature trait of imperial monochrome ceramics.

Form & Tea Aesthetics

• Hand-Fluted Ribs & Glaze Contrast: Inspired by Song dynasty foliate vessels, the form is meticulously hand-thrown and carved with symmetrical petal flutes. The glaze gently recedes along the raised ribs, producing subtle tonal contrasts (Chu Jin) that accentuate the cup's sculptural depth.

• Master Cup Presence: Proportioned as a dedicated master cup, the rhythmic contours offer a comfortable and engaging tactile grip, establishing an anchor of warmth and visual balance at the tea table.

Brewer’s Note:

A stroke of deep kiln red, like frozen twilight held in the palm.

As the tea is poured, both vessel and mind settle into still calm.
