What is a Jianzhan Tea Cup?
Jianzhan (literally ‘Jian Kiln’) is a legendary Chinese ceramic ware with over 1,000 years of history, originating in Fujian Province during the Song Dynasty. Historically favored by Chinese emperors and tea ceremony masters for Gongfu Cha, Jianzhan cups are prized for their unique natural glaze patterns created by traditional high-temperature kiln firing. No two Jianzhan cups are ever identical, making every piece truly one-of-a-kind.
