Quiet blues, intricate details.

The Blue Qilin small Jian Zhan tea cup brings together a compact silhouette, a deep blue glaze, and delicate web-like patterns that extend across its surface.

Fine, interconnected lines create a distinctive texture on the exterior, while the glossy interior reveals rich shades of blue and a contrasting cluster of pale markings at the center. A softly muted rim and an exposed clay foot add a natural contrast to the vibrant glaze.

Traditionally shaped as an aroma cup (Wen Xiang Bei), this small cup is suited to enjoying tea in smaller portions. Made in Jianyang, Fujian, China, it brings a quiet sense of character to everyday tea rituals — an inviting piece to hold, observe, and enjoy.
