红耀变建盏 / Red Flare Variation(Tenmoku) Jianzhan Tea Cup

Description

The Red Flare Variation Jianzhan from Fujian refers to a ceramic tealight with unique red flare variation characteristics made in the Fujian region of China. Red Flare Variation is a special ceramic glaze technique that gives the surface of the ceramic a distinctive red lustre that changes at different angles and in different light, giving a unique visual effect.

Jianzhan is an ancient tea service originating from Jianyang City (now Jianou City and Shunchang County under the jurisdiction of the Nanping Municipal Government) in Fujian Province, China, and was originally used for sipping Zen tea. It is known for its rugged appearance, heavy texture and delicate feel. Jianzhan is uniquely crafted using a technique known as ‘sanding’, which is a complex and skillful process.

These tea cups are of high artistic value as well as being highly collectible. It is worth noting, however, that the Red Flare Variation technique is more common in the Jingdezhen region and that Red Flare Variation is a unique type of ceramic tealight.It is worth noting, however, that the Red Flare technique is more common in the Jingdezhen region and that Red Flare Variation is a unique type of ceramic tealight.It is worth noting, however, that the Red Flare technique is more common in the Jingdezhen region and that Red Flare Variation is a unique type of ceramic tealight.It is worth noting, however, that the Red Flare technique is more common in the Jingdezhen region and that Red Flare Jianzhan from the Fujian region may be relatively rare nowadays.
