Handcrafted Jian Zhan Koi Chawan: Traditional Chinese Ceramic Art For Your Tea Ritual This set of two Jian Zhan teacups brings centuries-old Chinese ceramic craftsmanship to your daily tea practice, blending functional design with symbolic artistry perfect for casual sipping and formal gong fu cha ceremonies alike. Unique Artisanal Design Each cup features a classic open-sided deep bowl shape, measuring 3.7 inches (9.3cm) wide by 1.7 inches (4.3cm) tall, with a 3.7oz (110ml) capacity ideal for savoring all tea varieties from oolong and pu’er to green and black tea. The exterior is finished in a rich, warm deep chocolate brown with a subtle glossy sheen that complements any tea table or home decor. Inside, you’ll find the signature ‘yao bian’ (kiln change) glazed effect unique to Jian Zhan pottery: organic radiating streaks of red, brown, and soft green swirl across the glaze, creating a one-of-a-kind pattern on every cup—no two pieces are exactly alike. At the center of the cup base, a hand-finished koi carp design adds subtle detail and cultural meaning. Cultural Symbolism In Chinese culture, koi (鲤, lǐ) are deeply symbolic of good fortune, prosperity, perseverance, and abundance. This hand-decorated motif turns a simple drinking cup into a meaningful piece for everyday use, making this set an ideal gift for tea lovers, housewarmings, or Lunar New Year celebrations.
