The Cultural Heritage of Jianzhan Tea Cups
Jianzhan (Jian Kiln) tea ware originated in Fujian, China during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD), and has long been the most revered vessel for Chinese tea ceremony. The unique kiln transformation glaze effect creates unpredictable natural patterns, a trait celebrated by Chinese tea culture as ‘each Jianzhan cup is unique’—a reflection of the Taoist value of harmony with nature.
