"...like the blue of the sky in a clearing in the clouds after the rain."For a perfect infusion, the teapot should be made of porcelain or ceramic, never metal so as not to alter the flavor of the tea. Furthermore, it should never be washed with detergent or in the dishwasher, but with boiling water and bicarbonate. Ru porcelain The glaze, applied in numerous layers, continues over the upper and lower edges, unlike the rival Ding porcelain, fired upside down and therefore with the raw edge without glaze, often covered with a metal band. The colors vary, and were divided and classified by Chinese scholars into "sky blue", "pale blue" and "egg blue", each using the Chinese word 青, qīng, which means both "blue" and "green". Capacity: 200ml teapot, 160ml cups.
