Dish with splashed glaze
Jun wares are characterised by opalescent blue, purple or even green glazes. Potters decorated the dry, unfired glaze with copper-rich pigment, to create a purple in-glaze splashed effect. Where the glaze runs thin towards the edge of the vessels, it becomes semi-transparent to olive green. Jun wares were made in many kilns throughout Junzhou prefecture (modern Yuzhou or Yuxian) in Henan province from about AD 960 to 1435. Jun wares have relatively coarse stoneware bodies and are regarded as popular rather than imperial wares.

紫斑盤
鈞窯器物以乳濁藍釉、紫色釉甚至青釉為特色。河南鈞州(今禹縣,已改禹州市)境內的許多窯場都生產鈞窯器物,其燒造時間自北宋延續至明代早期(960 -1435年)。窯工們入窯前在幹澀的釉面塗抹富含銅的釉料,以取得自然暈散的紫斑效果。器物邊緣因釉薄而呈現半透明的橄欖綠色。鈞窯器物胎質相對粗糙,是炻器胎。宋金時期,被認為是民間用品而非宮廷用器 。
