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 a unique blue-gold galaxy pattern effect: a deep cobalt-blue base is interlaced with warm golden radial veins, resembling a galaxy in the night sky. A ring of metallic glaze around the rim outlines the shape, 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 Blue-Gold Galaxy Pattern Jianzhan symbolizes the vastness of the cosmos and the beauty of natural harmony. Its radial blue-gold patterns evoke the shimmer of a starry night sky, embodying the ancient Chinese philosophy of unity between humanity and the universe. Artisans viewed these galaxy-like patterns as a bridge between earthly craft and celestial beauty, making each piece a vessel for contemplation and connection to the cosmos.
Craftsmanship Insight
The striking blue-gold galaxy 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 Kiln-Transmutation: Fired above 1300°C, the glaze undergoes controlled cooling, which triggers the separation of cobalt-blue and warm-gold pigments into radial, galaxy-like veins. The metallic rim forms from a secondary glaze layer that fuses during firing.
• Unrepeatable Uniqueness: Minor fluctuations in kiln temperature and atmosphere alter the flow of glaze pigments, ensuring no two galaxy patterns are identical. Each Jianzhan is a rare, one-of-a-kind work of art.
