Kiln-Change Glazed Teaware – Featuring Natural Variations from High-Temperature Firing.
The history of kiln-change teaware is deeply rooted in the Chinese ceramic tradition, especially during the Song (960–1279) and Yuan (1271–1368) dynasties, when experimentation with glazes and firing techniques reached extraordinary artistic heights.
Imperial Embrace
During the Qing, especially under the Kangxi (康熙) and Qianlong (乾隆) emperors, kiln-change techniques were revived and refined at the Jingdezhen Imperial kilns. Teaware and porcelains with spectacular, unpredictable glaze effects became symbols of imperial taste and sophistication.
Today, kiln-change teaware is still highly respected, especially in Jingdezhen, where potters combine ancient secrets with modern control methods. No two pieces look alike, making each a unique collector’s item.
For tea lovers, Killn-change Glazed Gongfu Tea Set offers more than functionality:
It adds visual depth to the tea experience.
Reflects the wabi-sabi philosophy — beauty in imperfection.
Enhances the aesthetic value of the tea session, especially in gongfu practice.
