Liu Zilong Rainbow Thin-Wall Jianzhan Tenmoku Cha-wan LZL042｜Iridescent Jian Ware Tea Bowl with Certificate｜刘子龙 彩虹薄胎盏

LIGHTER THAN YOU EXPECT

Pick it up, and the difference is immediate.

Jian Zhan is normally associated with a substantial body and noticeable weight.

This one feels very different.

The rim is approximately 1.5 mm thin, while the body is only around 2.5 mm.

At approximately 92 mm × 56 mm, it retains the familiar presence of Jian Zhan while feeling unexpectedly light and refined in the hand.

The form is Jian Zhan.
The feeling is unusually delicate.

RAINBOW｜彩虹

Then comes the glaze.

This newly fired piece displays a vivid iridescent rainbow effect.

Under one angle, the surface appears darker and restrained.

Turn it toward the light and different tones begin to emerge:

blue, purple, gold and metallic highlights.

The colour is not painted onto the surface.

It changes naturally with light and viewing angle.

The bowl does not have one fixed colour.
It changes as you move it.

That movement is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the piece.

THIN-WALL CRAFTSMANSHIP｜薄胎工艺

Thinness here is not simply a measurement.

It changes the experience of the bowl.

The approximately 1.5 mm rim gives the mouth a particularly fine profile, while the 2.5 mm body removes much of the weight normally associated with Jian Zhan.

The result feels precise, light and comfortable in the hand.

Combined with the active rainbow surface, the contrast becomes particularly appealing:

a quiet, thin body
with a constantly changing glaze.

LIU ZILONG｜刘子龙

Liu Zilong 刘子龙 is a recognised Jian Zhan craftsman from Fujian.

According to his accompanying artist credentials, he holds professional titles including Senior Arts and Crafts Artist and National Level-I Senior Technician, and is involved in the continuation of the Chayang kiln ceramic tradition.

His work is particularly interesting when technical execution becomes immediately visible in the finished object.

LZL042 is a good example:

thin enough to feel different,
colourful enough to look different.

AN ACCESSIBLE TECHNICAL PIECE

At S$390, this is an accessible way to experience a more technically distinctive Jian Zhan without moving directly into the S$1,000–4,000 master-work range.

The appeal is straightforward.

You can see the rainbow.

You can feel the thin body.

And both are present in the same certified work.

For someone beginning to explore better contemporary Jian Zhan — or an established collector looking for something technically different — LZL042 offers a clear reason to own it.

刘子龙 · 彩虹薄胎盏｜LZL042

这一只，最好先拿起来。

口径约 92mm，高约 56mm。

口沿约 1.5mm，盏身约 2.5mm。

一般建盏给人的感觉是厚、稳、有重量。

这一只却明显不同：

薄、轻、利落。

然后再把它转到光线下面。

新烧成的彩虹釉面会随着角度变化，出现蓝、紫、金及不同的金属光泽。

不是一个固定的“彩虹颜色”。

而是：

你转动盏，颜色也跟着变。

手上感觉得到的薄胎，
眼睛看得到的彩虹。

一个是工艺。

一个是视觉。

约 1.5mm薄口、2.5mm薄身，已经让它和一般建盏有明显不同。

S$390，附证书。

对于第一次开始接触名家建盏的人，这是一个很容易进入的选择。

对于已经有其他建盏的藏家，它又提供了一种完全不同的手感和釉面体验。

拿起来是薄。
转一下，是彩虹。
