Curator's comments
Published PDF date : Northern Song 11thC-12thC
Room 95 label text: PDF 95 Jun ware incense burner Jun wares were made in many kilns throughout Junzhou prefecture (modern Yuxian) in Henan province from the Northern Song (AD 960–1127) until the Ming dynasty (AD1368–1435). Jun wares have relatively coarse stoneware bodies. In the Northern Song and Jin dynasties they appear to have been popular rather than imperial wares. Jun wares are characterised by opalescent blue, purple or even green glazes. Stoneware with thick opalescent blue glaze Jun ware鈞窯 Yuxian, Henan province 河南省, 禹縣 Jin dynasty, about AD 1115–1234
