Handmade Jian Zhan Chinese Tea Cup, 4.2-4.6oz Unique Drip Glaze Ceramic Gongfu Tea Cup

Handcrafted Unique Jian Zhan Chinese Tea Cup

This handcrafted Jian Zhan tea cup (建盏) is a one-of-a-kind piece designed for gongfu tea lovers and ceramic art enthusiasts. Crafted from high-fired ceramic with natural drip glaze, every cup features a unique, unrepeatable pattern that makes your tea ritual truly personal.

Distinctive Drip Glaze Design

With a base of clean white glaze accented by flowing warm red and brown ‘glaze tear’ (釉泪) textures, this cup blends traditional Jian Zhan ceramic techniques with modern minimalist art aesthetics. The natural flowing glaze creates soft, organic layers that give each cup subtle unique variations, turning a simple tea cup into a tiny piece of wearable ceramic art for your tea table. The raw brown clay base adds a touch of rustic, handcrafted warmth that complements any tea decor style from new Chinese to wabi-sabi.

Premium Material & Practical Function

• Made of food-safe high-fired ceramic: stable chemical properties that won’t alter the natural flavor of your tea, better heat retention than glass to keep your brew at the ideal temperature longer
• Perfect small size for gongfu tea tasting: capacities range from 4.2oz (125ml) to 4.6oz (135ml), ideal for slow sipping and appreciating the aroma and flavor of any tea type
• Handcrafted finish with subtle uneven details that celebrate the beauty of handmade craft, standing out from mass-produced uniform tea ware

We offer 8 different style variations with slight differences in shape, size and glaze effect, so you can pick the perfect cup that matches your tea habit and aesthetic taste.
