Nowadays, numerous successors of Traditional Arts are working namelessly in town and their gorgeous works shall be seen and appreciated by the world. Therefore, here comes a slight glance of their Inheritance and Adherence. - (Tradition of JianZhan) The Black Glaze type of Tea Cup was prevalent for the Tea-Drinking Habit has changed during Song Dynasty. People in those ages enjoyed Making Tea with Tea Powder, and during those fussy steps, Black Teacup could better manifest the White Froth, which could be truly appreciable for its ever-changing shapes and affect the taste. They even had Competitions on Density and Color of the Froth, and it was called Tea Fights. - (Variation in Kiln) The Recipe of Glaze is the true Secret of every Craftsman. A slightly change in the Proportion of Elements could result in different Colors and Veins. Only did the Cups leave the Kiln and until you truly see it, its appearance is revealed. Thus every Cup is Unique in Veins. - (Safety to Use) In the Kiln, Temperatures can run up to 1300 Celsius (2370 F.) for the Natural Glaze to Vitrify. All the Colors are then Permanent Sealed under a Layer of Glaze. Colors are formed Once and no further decoration is made after the First Natural Conversion. - (Some Notification) Small spots might be found on the Surface of the Cup. When Kiln Temp. went over 400 Celsius yet not reached 900 Celsius, elements like Moisture, Carbonate, Sulfate and etc. would evaporate and leave small air pore on the Surface. So this is normal phenomenon while using Kiln to make Porcelain. ## Images ![Chinese Archaic Handmade Jian Ware Teacup, Imitation of Traditional Song Dynasty JianZhan, Temmoku Black Glaze with Protean Veins, Collectible Cup for Tea and Coffee (Kirin's Thunder, 3.5 IN. 5.75 oz) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G9Qe6mDLL.jpg) ![Chinese Archaic Handmade Jian Ware Teacup, Imitation of Traditional Song Dynasty JianZhan, Temmoku Black Glaze with Protean Veins, Collectible Cup for Tea and Coffee (Kirin's Thunder, 3.5 IN. 5.75 oz) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iO+Pq-06L.jpg) ![Chinese Archaic Handmade Jian Ware Teacup, Imitation of Traditional Song Dynasty JianZhan, Temmoku Black Glaze with Protean Veins, Collectible Cup for Tea and Coffee (Kirin's Thunder, 3.5 IN. 5.75 oz) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sa+8bc7LL.jpg) ![Chinese Archaic Handmade Jian Ware Teacup, Imitation of Traditional Song Dynasty JianZhan, Temmoku Black Glaze with Protean Veins, Collectible Cup for Tea and Coffee (Kirin's Thunder, 3.5 IN. 5.75 oz) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714giFL0osL.jpg) ![Chinese Archaic Handmade Jian Ware Teacup, Imitation of Traditional Song Dynasty JianZhan, Temmoku Black Glaze with Protean Veins, Collectible Cup for Tea and Coffee (Kirin's Thunder, 3.5 IN. 5.75 oz) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710KWwxVUSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Looks good *by J***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2022* It looks like the picture, pretty and good quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, very small. *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2021* I loved this item.
