Immerse yourself in the ancient art of tea appreciation with our exquisite 6pcs Plum Blossom Ceramic Jianzhan Tea Cup Set. This premium tableware collection elevates your tea ceremony to a mindful ritual, combining centuries of Chinese craftsmanship with elegant modern design sensibilities.
The Art of Jianzhan Tableware
Dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Jianzhan pottery represents one of China's most revered ceramic tableware traditions. Each cup in this set features a distinctive dark iron body adorned with mesmerizing crystalline patterns formed naturally during high-temperature kiln firing. The result is a collection where no two cups are identical—each possessing its own character while maintaining harmony within the set.
Elegant Design for Mindful Tea Ceremonies
Choose between our delicate Plum Blossom design (8cm diameter × 5.2cm height, 90ml capacity) or the graceful Petal pattern (9cm diameter × 5.4cm height, 80ml capacity). The plum blossom motif symbolizes resilience and renewal in Chinese culture—a reminder to appreciate life's fleeting moments with each sip. These handmade ceramic dishes transform everyday tea drinking into a meditative experience.
Natural Materials and Traditional Craftsmanship
Crafted using techniques recognized as part of China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage, these cups embody authenticity and tradition. The glaze derives from natural plant ash while the clay body comes from the renowned Jianyang region. During firing, the iron-rich materials create captivating color variations and unique decorative tableware elements that cannot be precisely replicated.
