🔧 Craftsmanship
Jianzhan relies on high-iron clay and glaze unique to Jianyang. During firing above 1300°C, iron elements crystallize to form organic patterns. This time-honored process has been passed down since the Song Dynasty.
Each teacup’s pattern is naturally formed and cannot be replicated—making every piece one of a kind.
💡 Warm Tips
Before first use, gently boil the cup in water or hot tea to clean away kiln dust.
The slightly metallic feel on exposed clay is normal due to high iron content.
Tiny bubbles, small glaze waves, or natural irregularities are part of authentic Jian ware craftsmanship.
