Porcelainess | Artisan Jian Zhan Silver Oil Drop Tea Cup is a hand-thrown, iron-rich Jian Zhan tea cup from Jingdezhen, China — a serious step up in glaze quality. It is crafted for enthusiasts and regular gongfu tea drinkers seeking an authentic kiln-transformed tea bowl with a unique, unrepeatable glaze pattern fired at 1300°C. Every cup is a 1-of-1 artisan piece with an iron body that softens tea water.

Heritage from Jingdezhen: The Soul of Fire and Earth.

Each piece in the Porcelainess collection is a tribute to the millennium-old ceramic legacy of Jingdezhen, the world's porcelain capital. Forged in temperatures exceeding 1300°C, our vessels represent a harmonious dance between master craftsmanship and the unpredictable magic of the kiln.


Discover the profound beauty of ancient tea traditions with our Artisan Jian Zhan Silver Oil Drop Tea Cup. Born from the legendary kilns of Jian Yang, this master cup is a testament to the unpredictable artistry of fire and earth. The 'Yin You Di' glaze, or Silver Oil Drop, features delicate, shimmering metallic spots that resemble a celestial shower of stars frozen in time. Each cup is unique, a singular result of the kiln's transformation, ensuring that your tea ritual is truly one-of-a-kind.

Crafted from authentic high-iron 'iron-胎' (iron-body) clay, this cup does more than just hold tea; it interacts with the water, softening the texture and enhancing the nuanced flavors of your finest Oolong or Pu-erh. The weight is substantial yet balanced, resting comfortably in the palm of your hand, while the wide rim allows the tea's aroma to bloom fully. Whether you are a seasoned tea connoisseur or looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, this Jian Zhan cup, presented in an elegant gift box, embodies the 'Porcelainess' commitment to artisan heritage and timeless elegance. Elevate your Gongfu tea experience with a piece of history that breathes life into every sip.
