Characteristics of Jian Ware
- Tactile Quality: It has a substantial, dense weight—when held, it feels solid and substantial, a mark of its fine craftsmanship.
- Practical Design: The wide cup mouth not only facilitates easy sipping but also offers a clear view of the tea soup’s color and clarity, enhancing the tea-tasting experience.
- Glaze Advantages: Its natural black base glaze beautifully accentuates the hue of tea (whether the amber of oolong or the golden glow of white tea). Unlike Yixing clay teapots, Jian Ware requires no tedious "seasoning" before first use. Simply rinse it with warm fresh water to remove any faint kiln-fired earthy aroma, then soak it in boiling water for a few minutes—after that, it is ready to use.
History

🏺 Gilt Tenmoku Oil-Drop Jian Ware
The Gilt Tenmoku Oil-Drop Jian Ware is a stunning revival of Song Dynasty ceramic mastery, seamlessly blending historic artistry with opulent modern finishing. Originating from the Jian kiln in Fujian, this bowl is characterized by its signature deep black glaze, which serves as a canvas for the "Oil-Drop" pattern—a delicate arrangement of minute, silvery crystalline spots formed during high-temperature firing. The true distinction lies in the hand-applied gold gilding that lines the interior, transforming the traditional rustic ware into a piece of luminous luxury. The substantial, deep form and dark exterior contrast dramatically with the shimmering gold, creating an experience that is both grounding and spectacular.
✨ Key Advantages (Why This Piece is a Must-Have for Connoisseurs)
- Enhances the Tea Experience: The deep, conical shape is specifically designed to preserve the heat and aroma of tea for a more nuanced tasting. The dark exterior provides the ideal visual contrast for assessing the tea's color and clarity.
- Adds Timeless Elegance to Rituals: Featuring a breathtaking hand-gilded interior, this Jian Ware bowl elevates any moment—from a daily steep to a formal ceremony—with a touch of regal splendor and historical depth.
- Unique and Collectible Artistry: Each bowl features a unique Oil-Drop crystal pattern that is formed naturally in the kiln, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. The addition of the gilded element makes it a rare and valuable item for any collector.
- Superior Tactile and Visual Quality: The robust ceramic body and the smooth, shimmering interior surface offer a substantive, comfortable hold that feels grounded and premium in the hand.
🌟 Unique Value (The Solution for Elevated Gifting and Use)
- Seeking a Centerpiece That Tells a Story? If you are looking to acquire more than just a cup, this Jian Ware represents the pinnacle of a thousand-year-old ceramic tradition, making it an instant conversation starter and a symbol of refined taste.
- Want to Maximize the Visual Appeal of Tea? The deep gold interior beautifully reflects the liquid within, adding a rich, warm glow to dark teas (like Pu-erh or Black Tea) or highlighting the delicate shades of lighter infusions, making every sip a visual delight.
- Concerned About the Finish and Craftsmanship? Stop worrying about mass-produced flaws. The careful application of gilt and the precise execution of the Oil-Drop glaze guarantee a high-quality, museum-grade finish that is both durable and exquisite.
🍵 Usage and Care
- Ideal for: Savouring fine dark teas (Pu-erh, Black, and Oolong), Matcha, or as a decorative piece.
- Care Instructions: Due to the hand-gilded interior, we recommend gently hand-washing with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, dishwashers, and prolonged soaking to maintain the integrity of the gold finish.
General Storage Guide for Dried Herbs & Teas
To maintain the freshness, aroma, and nutritional value of dried herbs, follow these universal storage tips:
Choose Airtight Containers
Store dried herbs in airtight containers—options like glass jars with tight-sealing lids or food-safe plastic containers are ideal. Avoid containers that are not airtight (e.g., open bowls) or reactive materials (e.g., uncoated metal), as they may compromise quality.
Keep Away from Harmful Factors
Place the sealed containers in a cool, dark, and dry area. Exposure to heat (e.g., near stoves or windows with direct sunlight), light, or moisture (e.g., near sinks or humid corners) can lead to loss of flavor, nutrient degradation, or mold growth.
Minimize Air Exposure
Before sealing the container, squeeze out as much air as possible. For larger quantities, resealable plastic bags can be used—gently press out excess air before sealing to reduce oxidation.
Use Promptly for Best Quality
Even with proper storage, dried herbs gradually lose their freshness over time. For optimal taste and effectiveness, it is recommended to use them as soon as possible. Regularly check for signs of spoilage (e.g., unusual odors, discoloration, or clumping) before use.

This gilded Jianzhan cup is STUNNING when I pour tea into it, the gold interior glows like liquid sunlight, and the texture feels so smooth in my hand. My only complaint? The packaging was a little too tight I almost scratched the rim while trying to open it. Also, the base is a bit heavier than I expected, so it’s not super easy to carry around. But let’s be real this cup makes every tea session feel like a fancy ritual. Worth every penny!

I bought this as a treat for myself, and man, the gilded finish is way more beautiful in person than in the photos. The way it catches the light when I brew tea is chef’s kiss. The only tiny issue? The gold inside shows tea stains a little too easily I have to scrub it gently after every use. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for a cup that makes my morning oolong taste 10x fancier. Would definitely recommend to tea lovers who like a touch of luxury!
