溪祺建盏 · Xiqi Jianzhan
The name 溪祺建盏 appears repeatedly with Xiao Changhua’s work and serves as the principal studio or kiln identity associated with his Jian Zhan.
Multiple independently listed examples pair the name 肖長華 directly with 溪祺建盞, providing a consistent connection between the artist and the studio name.
Glazes & Documented Works
Xiao Changhua’s documented pieces show considerable variation in color, crystal formation, and pattern. Rather than being associated with only one glaze, attributed examples appear across several recognizable Jian Zhan styles.
Marks & Identification
Documented examples of Xiao Changhua’s work have been recorded with the maker’s mark 肖長華製.
Presentation materials may also carry the 溪祺建盏 studio name. Packaging, certificates, and marks can vary between individual pieces, so identification should use the complete group of evidence available with a work rather than packaging alone.
遮天曜變 · Zhetian Yaobian
One named glaze or work associated with Xiqi Jianzhan is 遮天曜變 (Zhētiān Yàobiàn), seen on pieces with dramatic blue, violet, and metallic kiln-transformed patterning.
The name appears on presentation material associated with documented examples and is also found in secondary-market descriptions of Xiqi Jian Zhan pieces.
