How to make jianzhan建盏 by shanbai山白

Jian Zhan (建盏), or “Jian Tea Bowl," is a unique type of ancient Chinese ceramic from the Song Dynasty (10th–13th century). Famous for its glossy black glaze and "oil spot" or "hare’s fur" patterns, it was prized for enhancing tea flavors. Fired at extreme temperatures in Fujian’s kilns, these bowls reflect China’s tea culture zenith.
