Jianzhan or Tenmoku style tea bowls Set w/ oil spot Glaze By Master Zhou Qinghua

This listing is for a set of 2 Jianzhan or Tenmoku style tea bowls, featuring a distinctive "oil spot" glaze created through high-temperature kiln firing. The glaze is rich in iron, which creates unique crystalline patterns that resemble shimmering spots against a dark background. They originate from traditional Chinese craftsmanship and are often used for drinking tea due to their heat retention properties, but can be also used to drink sake. Only one of the cups has a signature, this is the personal signature mark of Master Zhou Qinghua, a contemporary artisan specializing in handcrafted Jianzhan teacups. Master potters from the Jianyang region in Fujian carve their names directly into the iron-rich clay base before firing to authenticate their individual ceramic works. Both are in perfect condition, no nicks or cracks.
