This is a conical Jianzhan tea bowl fired with traditional craftsmanship from Jianyang, Fujian. Made from the region’s distinctive iron-rich clay, it undergoes a kiln-transmutation process at temperatures exceeding 1300°C.
Its glaze features the iconic golden hairline pattern effect: a deep jet-black base is covered with feather-like warm golden hairlines that radiate from the bowl’s center to the rim, shimmering with a lustrous glow in the light. This effect is a natural result of complex redox reactions in the iron-rich glaze during firing.
The classic wide-mouthed, shallow-bodied shape paired with a thick, smooth porcelain body not only complements the aesthetic of a Chinese tea ceremony setting, but also delivers practical heat retention and aroma concentration properties. It is the perfect dual-purpose choice for daily tea tasting and collection appreciation.

In Chinese ceramic culture, the Golden Hairline Jianzhan symbolizes prosperity, vitality, and the warmth of sunlight. Its feather-like golden hairlines evoke the radiance of a rising sun or the shimmer of a phoenix’s feathers, embodying the ancient Chinese reverence for gold as a symbol of fortune and nobility. Artisans viewed these golden patterns as a manifestation of kiln magic, representing the harmonious fusion of human skill and natural fire.
Craftsmanship Insight
The striking golden hairline effect is a result of centuries-old ceramic mastery:
• Iron-Rich Clay & Glaze: Sourced from Jianyang, Fujian, the dense iron-rich clay and high-iron glaze create the foundation for dramatic color separation and crystalline reactions.
• High-Temperature Firing & Controlled Cooling: Fired above 1300°C, the glaze is cooled gradually to trigger the separation of iron oxide crystals, which align into the feather-like golden hairlines against the jet-black base.
• Unrepeatable Uniqueness: Even minor fluctuations in kiln temperature and atmosphere alter the flow of glaze pigments, ensuring no two golden hairline patterns are identical. Each Jianzhan is a rare, one-of-a-kind work of art.
