Blue glazed Jun cup
This cup was probably used for drinking alcohol and might have been used in conjunction with a small cup-stand. Where the Jun glaze runs thin towards the edge of the cup, it becomes semi-transparent to olive green. Compared to contemporary Northern Song celadons such as Ru and Yaozhou wares, Jun wares have relatively coarse stoneware bodies. Jun wares are characterised by opalescent blue, purple or occasionally green glazes.

藍色鈞釉杯
這種形制的杯很可能是酒器,並配有小杯托。口沿處因釉薄而呈現半透明的橄欖綠色。與同期的北宋青釉,如汝窯、燿州窯相比,鈞窯的胎質較粗,以藍色乳濁釉、紫色釉及偶爾出現的青釉為特色。
