Antique Jun Kiln Porcelain Tea Cup Set (2 pcs)

Vintage from the early 20th century – Super Rare find – Collector’s item

Origin:

An exquisite set of two antique Chinese tea cups and matching saucers, handcrafted in the traditional Jun Kiln (Jun Yao) technique. Known for its lustrous, opalescent glazes and flowing purple-blue hues, Jun porcelain was a prized treasure of the Song Dynasty and remained highly regarded through the centuries. These pieces likely date from the early 1900s and are made with thick, robust ceramic typical of antique Jun ware.

Condition:

Excellent antique condition with no chips or cracks. Natural signs of age and glaze variation typical of original Jun kiln work are visible, enhancing their authenticity and charm.

Size:

• Cup Diameter: ~6.1 inches (15.5 cm)
• Total Height with Saucer: ~3.5 inches (9 cm)

Details:

These unique tea cups sit on ruffled, organic-shaped saucers with a central opening. The multi-layered glaze displays a cosmic fusion of deep plum, dusty lilac, and cobalt with celadon undertones—each piece telling its own story. This color play is a classic signature of Jun porcelain, caused by the complex interactions of iron and copper in the glaze during high-temperature firing.

Perfect for:

• Collectors of rare Chinese porcelain
• Display in a glass cabinet or wabi-sabi-inspired interior
• A unique tea-drinking experience steeped in history
• An elegant, meaningful gift for an art or culture lover

A true conversation piece and functional sculpture, these antique Jun Kiln tea cups bring the artistry of ancient China into your modern world.
