Blue Qilin Jian Zhan with Iridescent Gold Lacquer (Urushi)

Behold the Azure Qilin, reborn in splendor. This extraordinary Jian Zhan tea bowl merges the primal energy of the kiln with the refined luxury of traditional lacquer art. The interior showcases the legendary Blue Qilin glaze—a deep, oceanic azure flecked with crystalline "scales" that seem to shimmer with life.

But the true magic lies on the exterior. Here, the bowl is cloaked in Iridescent Gold Urushi Lacquer. Unlike ordinary gold, this special polychrome technique causes the surface to shift colors as you move. Depending on the light, the gold transforms into a spectrum of copper, emerald, and violet, resembling a peacock’s feather or a soap bubble catching the sun. The tactile sensation is divine—smooth and glassy inside, yet warm and slightly textured outside. It is a masterpiece of contrasts: the wildness of nature contained within the elegance of human craft.
