This handcrafted Jianzhan tea bowl carries the centuries-old legacy of Chinese Jian ware ceramic art, crafted with traditional kiln-firing and flow glaze techniques to create a one-of-a-kind piece for your Gongfu tea ritual.
Design & Material
- Hand-shaped organic body with subtle natural texturing, unlike mass-produced uniform cups, supported by a short, sturdy foot for stable placement
- High-fired ceramic with a white base glaze, accented by naturally flowing copper red and warm brown glaze streaks. No two bowls have identical patterns, making yours truly unique
- The smooth glossy glaze is non-porous, easy to wipe clean, and the thick ceramic body moderates heat perfectly, keeping your tea at the ideal temperature while remaining comfortable to hold
Specifications
- Capacity: 4.2oz – 4.6oz (125ml – 135ml), the perfect size for Gongfu tea tasting, ideal for oolongs, pu-erh, rock teas and more
Cultural & Daily Use
Jianzhan ware has been prized by Chinese tea lovers for over a thousand years, valued for its natural artistic effects that celebrate the unpredictability of kiln firing. Over time, repeated use will subtly mellow the glaze, developing a unique patina that is uniquely yours. This Jianzhan bowl is perfect for daily tea tasting, display on your tea table, or as a thoughtful gift for tea lovers and ceramic art collectors.
