What is a Jianzhan Tea Cup?
Originating from Fujian, China over 1,000 years ago during the Song Dynasty, Jianzhan (‘Jian Kiln’) tea cups are one of the most revered traditional Chinese tea ware. Famed for their unique natural glaze effects created during high-temperature firing, Jianzhan cups have been treasured by tea masters and collectors for centuries, prized for enhancing the flavor and visual experience of tea.
Our Handmade Jianzhan Tea Cup Features
- Unique Kiln Change Glaze: Each cup features a one-of-a-kind kiln-fired blue-green base glaze with sparkling golden speckles. No two Jianzhan cups are identical, giving your tea set a truly unique piece of ceramic art.
- Traditional Ice Crackle Base: The inner cup bottom showcases classic ice crackle glaze, a traditional Chinese ceramic technique that adds subtle texture, timeless elegance, and showcases master craftsmanship.
- Ergonomic Tall Foot Design: This cup features a traditional slender shape with a slightly wide rim, tapered body and raised foot. The elevated foot keeps your hand comfortable and avoids burning when holding hot tea, while adding refined aesthetic appeal.
