In Chinese tea culture, the Jian-zhan is more than a vessel—it is a symbol of harmony between man and nature. The yao-bian pattern, with its shifting iridescent hues, was once reserved for imperial courts, representing celestial luck and cosmic balance. Each cup’s unique glaze is seen as a reflection of the universe, inviting you to find peace and wonder in every sip.
The yao-bian-Jian-zhan is the pinnacle of ceramic craftsmanship:
• Iron-Rich Clay: Sourced from the Jianyang region of Fujian, this clay gives the cup its characteristic heavy, durable body and helps create the dramatic glaze effects.
• High-Temperature Firing: Fired at over 1300°C in a wood-fired kiln, the glaze undergoes a complex chemical reaction, forming the distinctive iridescent spots that shift color with light and angle.
• Natural Uniqueness: No two yao-bian-Jian-zhan are identical. The pattern is entirely formed by chance during firing, making each cup a rare, irreproducible work of art.
