{"product_id":"silver-mountain-cup","title":"Silver mountain cup","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough this cup undoubtedly belongs in the category of luxury teaware, it doesn’t come across as flashy or pompous. There’s even something quite rustic in the varying shades of its pure silver glaze, applied to the finest porcelain from Jingdezhen. The beautiful mountains on both sides of the cup, created by a more intense oxidation of the silver, only add to this impression. You could call it understatement at its finest—or you could simply enjoy sipping your favorite tea from this little gem, knowing that true art doesn’t need to be explained. Like good tea, this cup will age with dignity.

We first met him in 2019 at his studio, Yi Yang Yi Sheng, during a \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/exploring-jingdezhen-the-porcelain-capital\" target=\"_blank\"\u003etea journey\u003c\/a\u003e to the city. Impressed by his unique and creative pieces, we selected several for our tea shop. Since that first visit, Ryan’s team has expanded, his studio has moved to a larger atelier, and he is currently developing a second location.
