This bowl is a Jun ware piece traditionally passed down in an old family collection as being from the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127). Jun ware is celebrated as one of the Five Great Kilns of the Song dynasty and is renowned for its opalescent glazes that produce mesmerizing variations in purples, blues, and reds.
The interior of the bowl features a swirling pattern of purples and pale blues, evoking a cosmic or mist-like quality that changes with the light. The exterior is covered with a soft glaze that gently transitions into subtle red and violet hues. The rim is delicately glazed in a neutral tone, creating a quiet harmony with the vibrant interior.
The foot is left unglazed, a characteristic feature often seen in Song-period Jun ware, showing the buff-colored clay body and firing traces. The natural crackles and color blooms across the surface speak to its age and the atmospheric firing conditions unique to the kiln.
Jun ware was produced in the area of present-day Yuzhou, Henan province, and was reputedly used for imperial court wares. Well-preserved examples with such refined coloration are considered highly valuable and rare today.
