Handmade Kiln-Change Jian Zhan Tea Cups 4.2-4.6oz Unique Petal Rim

Discover the Timeless Art of Chinese Jian Zhan Tea Cups

Jian Zhan (literally “Jian Kiln bowl”) is a iconic traditional Chinese ceramic tea ware with a 1000-year history dating back to the Song Dynasty, celebrated for its unique natural kiln-fired glaze effects. These handmade Jian Zhan tea cups carry on this ancient craft, blending traditional ceramic techniques with modern design aesthetics to elevate your gongfu tea experience.

Why Choose Our Handmade Jian Zhan Tea Cups?

• One-of-a-Kind Kiln-Change Glaze: Every cup features unique natural glaze flow and color blending from high-temperature kiln firing. No two cups are identical — you own an exclusive piece of ceramic art. Choose from warm fiery red-yellow tones or refreshing natural green-yellow tones to match your tea style.
• Unique Petal-Shaped Rim Design: The irregular flower-like rim fits comfortably against your lips for smoother sipping, and adds a artistic touch to your tea table that breaks the monotony of standard round cups.
• Premium High-Fired Ceramic: Crafted from fine local clay and fired at high temperature, our Jian Zhan cups are durable, heat-resistant, non-absorbent, and easy to clean. The unglazed lower clay base creates a striking visual contrast with the glazed upper body and gives you a secure, comfortable grip.
• Perfect Gongfu Tea Capacity: Available in 125ml (4.2oz) and 135ml (4.6oz) sizes, ideal for small-batch gongfu tea tasting — this portion keeps tea warm and lets you fully appreciate the aroma and flavor of your favorite oolong, black, or pu-erh tea.
• Multiple Styles to Match Your Preference: We offer 6 unique styles with different heights, shapes, and proportions to suit your personal taste for tea ware aesthetics and handling.
