{"product_id":"shu-kou-sky-eye-oil-spot-jianzhan-tea-bowl","title":"\"Shu Kou\" Sky Eye Oil Spot Jianzhan Tea Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Shu Kou\" (束口), literally \"contracted mouth,\" is one of the classic Jianzhan silhouettes from the Song dynasty. The rim curves gently inward above the body, gathering steam and aroma as you drink — a small, deliberate change in form that shapes how the tea meets the nose. The bowl stands low and open, settled and steady on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is a Tian Yan (天眼, \"Sky Eye\") oil spot, set on a deep black ground with strong, raised silver crystals covering both the interior and the exterior. The exterior pattern is dense and full — the silver spots pack tightly across the curved wall, giving the bowl a metallic, almost scaly look when turned in the hand. Inside, the same crystals cluster toward the center, with a clear blue-green iridescence in places where the light catches the surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Jianyang, Nanping, Fujian — historically known as Jianzhou or Jian’an — and fired at 1300°C. The bowl is dense in hand and holds heat well; its iron-rich glaze is often said to soften the taste of the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e190 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandmade — slight variations in size and weight are normal.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeld in hand for size reference — see photo above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Jianzhan is individually photographed.
