Craft Notes

Jian Zhan follows a traditional hand‑made workflow (often cited as forty‑plus steps), with wheel‑thrown forms and demanding firings. Success rates are low; glaze effects arise from kiln atmosphere changes, producing varied patterns (e.g., oil‑spot, hare’s‑fur) with layered depth and a shifting metallic sheen.
