Biography

Xu Jing (许静) is the artist or studio representative identified in printed material accompanying Tian Song Jian Zhan (天宋建盏) and Tian Song Dragon Kiln (天宋龙窑). Booklet and packaging material identify her with the studio and its contemporary Jian Zhan.

The studio material emphasizes named glaze series, dragon-kiln identity and a consistent 宋 mark across cups, packaging and seals.

Documented Series

乌金茶盏 (“Black-Gold” tea bowl) is used for dark glossy surfaces with metallic sparkle. 龙鳞金曜 (“Dragon-Scale Golden Yao”) describes warm gold or copper iridescence with scale-like structure, while 龙鳞蓝曜 (“Dragon-Scale Blue Yao”) is used for deep blue iridescent examples.

These are contemporary Tian Song series names rather than historical Song-dynasty glaze classifications.

Materials & Firing

Tian Song materials emphasize dragon-kiln identity, wood firing and plant-ash glaze language. Because individual pieces may have different firing histories, the certificate, box and booklet should stay with the bowl whenever provenance matters.

Marks & Identification

Known examples show a stylized 宋 character in the center of the foot and a smaller impressed 宋 on the foot side, echoed in Tian Song packaging and printed seals.
