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
鈞窯器物釉色以乳濁藍釉、紫釉甚至青釉為特色。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。河南鈞州(原禹縣,今禹州市)的眾多窯址是鈞窯器物的產地,其燒造時間自北宋延續至明代。鈞窯器物胎質相對粗糙,被認為是民間用品而非宮廷御用器 。
