Jian ware
is a type of
Chinese pottery
originally made in
Jianyang, Fujian
province.
It, and local imitations of it, is known in Japan as
Tenmoku
. The ware are simple shapes in
stoneware
, with a strong emphasis on subtle effects in the
glazes
. In the
Song dynasty
they achieved a high prestige, especially among Buddhist monks and in relation to tea-drinking. They were also highly valued in Japan, where many of the best examples were collected. Though the ceramic body is light-coloured, the wares, generally small cups for tea, bowls and vases, normally are glazed in dark colours, with special effects such as the "hare's fur" "oil-spot" and "partridge feather" patterns caused randomly as excess iron in the glaze is forced out during firing.
