Immerse yourself in tradition with this exquisite Chinese Pink Gold Jianzhan Porcelain Tea Cup. Meticulously crafted for the authentic Chinese ceramic tea set experience, this 135ml vessel bridges centuries of tea culture with contemporary elegance.

This remarkable teacup showcases the revered Jianzhan technique—a treasured element of traditional Chinese craftsmanship dating back to the Song Dynasty. The stunning pink-gold crystallization patterns emerge through high-temperature firing, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that tells its own unique story.

Heritage of Jianzhan in Chinese Tea Culture

Jianzhan (建盏) pottery represents an important chapter in China's rich cultural heritage. Originating in Jianyang during the 10th century, these cups are distinguished by their dark iron body and mesmerizing glaze patterns. The gongfu tea ceremony traditions particularly celebrate these cups for their ability to enhance tea appreciation through both visual beauty and functional excellence.

This exceptional cup continues the legacy of this craft, which has been recognized as part of China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage. Like its historical predecessors, it's crafted using completely natural materials—plant ash for the glaze and mineral-rich clay for the body.

Artistry of Pink Gold Crystalline Glaze

What makes this cup truly remarkable is its stunning pink-gold glaze—a sophisticated evolution of the ancient Tenmoku technique. During the intensive firing process, the high iron content in both clay and glaze creates spectacular crystallization patterns that cannot be precisely replicated, ensuring your cup is genuinely one-of-a-kind.

The delicate balance of colors shifts and plays with light, transforming your tea ritual into a multisensory experience where each sip becomes an appreciation of both flavor and visual artistry.

Enhancing Your Mindful Tea Experience

Beyond its beauty, this cup is designed for optimal tea enjoyment. The size and shape are ideally proportioned for ceremonial tea brewing, allowing proper heat retention while enabling you to appreciate the aroma and color of your favorite teas. The generous 135ml capacity perfectly accommodates a proper tea serving without overwhelming the palate.

Whether you're practicing formal tea ceremonies or simply enjoying a mindful moment of tranquility, this ceramic Chinese tea cup elevates the experience through its perfect balance of form and function.
