The oriental teaware aesthetics tempered by the thousand-year kiln fire of Zhanyu Cup

The Zhanyu Cup inherits the intangible cultural heritage of Jianzhan in the Song Dynasty, and takes the oriental philosophy of “one color in the kiln, thousands of colors out of the kiln” as its soul to create a cultural teaware with both historical depth and modern temperature. The brand traces back to the ancient kiln in Jianyang, Fujian, and restores the ancient dragon kiln wood-fired method. The body is made of Jianyang red clay with an iron content of 8%. After being tempered by 1330℃ kiln fire, the glaze color flows with the light to present the fantasy of the stars, and it sounds like a chime when knocked. Each cup is a unique art piece.

Innovation integrates tradition and modernity:

  • Technical breakthrough: Overcoming the glaze formula, combining the Song Dynasty Yaobian pattern with underglaze painting, creating the original “Tianqing Yaocai” series, and increasing the yield rate to 60%;
  • Cultural narrative: Reproducing the elegant taste of Tang and Song Dynasty literati with bamboo cup handles and lotus leaf cup holders, and giving teaware vitality in the digital age with intelligent temperature control technology;
  • International expression: Selected as the porcelain for the Hangzhou Asian Games state banquet, and jointly created the “Blue and White Flamenco” cup pair with Spanish ceramic artists, allowing Jianzhan craftsmanship to communicate with the world.

The Zhanyu cup uses utensils as a medium to practice the Eastern philosophy of “nurturing the cup is nurturing the heart”. From the collection-level Yaobian collection series to the “Flower Blooms and Sees Blessings” healing cup popular among Generation Z, the thousand-year-old tea culture has been reborn in contemporary life and become a world language that conveys Chinese craftsmanship.
