Jian ware or Chien ware is a type of Chinese pottery originally made in Jianyang,Fujian province. It,and local imitations of it,are known in Japan as Tenmoku (天目). The ware are simple shapes in stoneware,with a strong emphasis on subtle effects in the glazes. In the Song dynasty they achieved a high prestige,especially among Buddhist monks and in relation to tea-drinking. They were also highly valued in Japan,where many of the best examples were collected. Though the ceramic body is light-coloured,the wares,generally small cups for tea,bowls and vases,normally are glazed in dark colours,with special effects such as the "hare's fur" "oil-spot" and "partridge feather" patterns caused randomly as excess iron in the glaze is forced out during firing.
