About
Jun wares, produced close to the Northern Song dynasty capital of Kaifeng, tend to have a grey stoneware body. The distinctive features are their simple and formal shapes and the rich lavender-blue colour derived from iron oxide in the glaze and reduction firing. Later in the Song dynasty and more particularly in the Yuan period, copper was added to the glaze to produce contrasting splashes of red.
