This authentic piece of spiritual jewelry for your tea ritual embodies centuries of artisanal wisdom, merging functionality with profound spiritual symbolism. The stunning blue glaze creates a mesmerizing portal to mindfulness with every sip.

The Sacred Art of Jianzhan Pottery

Originating from Jianyang, China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Jianzhan (建盏) pottery represents one of China's most revered sacred jewelry of the tea world. Each cup manifests through an alchemical process where nature and human intention unite. The dark iron clay body and vibrant blue glaze crystallize during high-temperature firing, creating unrepeatable patterns that make each cup a metaphysical jewelry piece for your tea practice.

This ceremony vessel has been deemed so culturally significant that the crafting technique is registered as part of China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage—a testament to its spiritual protection of ancient wisdom.

Mindful Design for Spiritual Tea Ceremonies

The generous 180-200 milliliter capacity offers the perfect vessel for contemplative tea moments. With dimensions of 9.5cm width and 5.8cm height (approx. 3.74 inches by 2.28 inches), this cup sits comfortably in your hands, encouraging presence and connection with your tea ritual.

The remarkable blue glaze creates a visual meditation—like gazing into cosmic depths. As energy balancing occurs through the ritual of tea preparation and consumption, this cup becomes more than a vessel—it transforms into a ritual jewelry piece for your daily practice.

Natural Materials with Energetic Properties

Crafted from natural ceramic with a high iron content body, this teacup carries the elemental energy of earth transformed by fire. The crystal jewelry-like glaze patterns form naturally during firing, making each cup uniquely yours. These distinctive crystallizations in the glaze are believed to interact harmoniously with tea, potentially enhancing its flavor profile and energetic properties.

Many tea masters suggest that Jianzhan cups, with their iron-rich composition, can vitalize water and strengthen the Qi of your tea, creating a more holistic drinking experience that nurtures both body and spirit.
