Sized for green tea or a small pour of anything slow. Comes in a wooden gift box, which makes it the easiest thing to wrap and give.

Q: What is Jianzhan glaze?
A: Jianzhan (建盞) is a Song Dynasty ceramic tradition from Fujian province, known for its iron-rich stoneware and distinctive tenmoku glaze. The green-brown surface shifts between tones depending on the angle and light. Each cup fires differently.

Q: Which form should I choose?
A: Round Cup is the most classic — the easiest starting point. Luohan Cup has a more refined taper. Wood Fire Cup has the deepest surface variation. Red Burning is for those who want the most striking piece.

Q: Is the wooden box worth it?
A: If this is a gift — yes. The solid wooden box makes it complete and presentation-ready with nothing else required. For personal use, the cup alone is fine.

Q: Why under 200ml?
A: Jianzhan cups are made for gongfu-style tea — small, concentrated sips rather than large mugs. The size is traditional and intentional.

A Cup From the Song Dynasty

Jianzhan (建盞) is one of the most prized ceramic traditions in Chinese history. The iron-rich stoneware from Fujian province, fired at extreme temperatures — the green-brown tenmoku glaze that shifts colour as the light moves. Song Dynasty emperors collected it. Tea masters still use it.

Under 200ml. Deliberately small. This is not a mug for multitasking — it is a cup for one quiet moment with one precise cup of tea. Four forms, each from the same tradition. With or without a wooden gift box.

Why It's Different

Jianzhan Glaze Tradition

The green-brown tenmoku surface is iron-rich and shifts colour in different light. A thousand-year-old tradition — the glaze technique that Song Dynasty emperors prized above all others.

Four Distinct Forms

Round Cup, Luohan Cup, Wood Fire Cup, Red Burning — four forms from the same tradition, each with a different character. The Wood Fire and Red Burning variants have the deepest surface variation.

Tea-Ceremony Scale

Under 200ml — sized for gongfu tea. Small, concentrated, intentional. The size isn't a limitation; it's the whole point of the ritual this cup belongs to.

Gift-Ready With Wooden Box

The optional solid wooden box turns this into a complete, presentation-ready gift. Nothing else needed — open the box and the gift is already composed.

What You'll Experience

A Ritual, Not Just a Drink

Small cup. Precise amount. A moment that belongs only to tea. The size of this cup makes the act deliberate in a way a large mug never can.

A Glaze Worth Looking At

The tenmoku surface catches light differently at every angle. You'll notice it every time you pick it up. That's not a distraction from the tea — it's part of it.

A Gift That Means Something

In the wooden box, this is one of those gifts that tells the recipient you thought about it. Not generic. Not forgettable. A piece of a real tradition.

Everything You Need to Know

Material: Stoneware with Jianzhan-style tenmoku glaze
Glaze: Green-brown iron-rich glaze — shifts colour in changing light
Capacity: Under 200ml — gongfu tea scale
Food-safe: Yes

Round Cup: Classic round bowl form — the most traditional Jianzhan silhouette
Luohan Cup: Gently tapered form, slightly taller — a more refined option
Wood Fire Cup: Fired in wood kiln — deeper, more complex surface variation
Red Burning: High-temperature reduction fired — distinctive red mineral flash in the glaze

With wooden gift box: Solid wooden presentation box, lined interior, gift-ready

Care: Hand wash with warm water. Do not soak. Avoid dishwasher. The cup develops a tea patina on the interior with regular use — this is traditional and desirable, not a stain.

Good to know: Glaze variation is inherent to the firing process. Your cup will differ slightly from images shown. No two Jianzhan pieces fire identically.
