Bowl with a lavender blue glaze, anonymous, c. 1100 - c. 1299

Bowl and Two Dishes. The glaze of Jun ware from the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) is bright blue, thick, and opaque. The sky blue colour of these objects was derived by mixing iron and copper, and monitoring the kilnâ€™s temperature closely while the objects were being fired. The oxidized copper particles produced purple spatters.
