Product Description
The Jianzhan is a remarkable piece of traditional Chinese ceramic art, showcasing a distinct and intricate design. Originating from the Song Dynasty (960–1279) in Jianyang, Fujian Province, this style of Jianzhan pottery is prized for its stunning cobalt blue glaze adorned with delicate, flower-like patterns.
The cobalt blue glaze is rich and vibrant, creating a deep, lustrous background that exudes sophistication and elegance. The surface of the Jianzhan is intricately decorated with numerous small floral motifs, which are meticulously formed during the high-temperature firing process. These patterns resemble a field of tiny, blooming flowers, each one shimmering with an iridescent quality that reflects light in varying hues of blue, silver, and occasionally hints of gold.
The creation of the Cobalt Blue Kirin Scales Pattern Jianzhan Tenmoku TeaCup Tasting Cup Tea Bowl requires exceptional skill and precision. The iron-rich clay is carefully prepared and shaped before being coated with the special cobalt blue glaze. The piece is then fired in a kiln at temperatures reaching up to 1300°C (2372°F), where the unique conditions within the kiln allow the floral patterns to emerge.
This type of Jianzhan is highly valued by collectors and tea enthusiasts alike for its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance. The intricate patterns and vibrant glaze enhance the visual and sensory experience of tea drinking, making it a cherished item in traditional Chinese tea ceremonies. The Cobalt Blue Kirin Scales Pattern Jianzhan Tenmoku TeaCup Tasting Cup Tea Bowl not only serves as a functional teaware piece but also as a testament to the rich heritage and artistic excellence of Chinese ceramics.
