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 partridge spot pattern: a deep inky-blue base is covered with fine, scale-like warm golden markings, framed by a ring of reddish-gold glaze around the rim that shimmers with iridescent blue-green highlights 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 Partridge Spot Jianzhan is a symbol of rarity and natural harmony. Its scale-like golden patterns resemble the feathers of a partridge—a bird revered in ancient China for its grace and connection to nature. Artisans viewed the pattern as a gift from the kiln, embodying the beauty of spontaneous creation and the balance between human skill and natural chance.
Craftsmanship Insight
The iconic partridge spot effect is a result of centuries-old ceramic mastery:
• Iron-Rich Clay & Glaze: Sourced from Jianyang, Fujian, the dense iron-rich clay and glaze are the foundation. The high iron content enables dramatic crystalline reactions during firing.
• High-Temperature Kiln-Transmutation: Fired above 1300°C, the glaze is cooled rapidly to form micro-crystals of iron oxide. These crystals grow into the distinctive scale-like golden spots, set against a deep inky-blue background.
• Unrepeatable Uniqueness: Tiny fluctuations in kiln temperature and atmosphere dictate the size, shape, and distribution of the spots. No two Jianzhan are identical, making each piece a rare, irreproducible work of art.
