Jian Zhan (建盏), or Jian Ware, refers to a kind of Chinese pottery that was originally made in Jianyang, China. Jian Zhan became prevalent during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Different kinds of Jian Zhan pottery exist, but bowls and cups are generally the most popular forms of craft.
Jian Zhan is recognised by its dark iron body and unique glaze patterns. All material used for making Jian Zhan is completely natural. The glaze liquid is made from plant ash, and the clay is locally mined from its place of origin Jianyang. Because both the glaze and the clay in Jianyang contain high iron content, after being fired by high heat over hours or even days, this natural combination composes a variety of colours and shapes of patterns.
