A Sky-blue Copper-red Glazed Jun Vase
h 14.3 cm

This vase features a sunflower-shaped mouth, a long neck, a broad belly, and stands on a ring foot. The entire body is coated in a sky-blue glaze, with an orange-peel texture covering the surface. The vase displays natural kiln-transformation red patches, which are lustrous and radiant, with a thick and mellow patina. The colors are magnificent—like crimson clouds illuminating the sky, resembling flowing purple hues that naturally blend and diffuse within the sky-blue base glaze. The beauty of the kiln transformation is organic and seamless.

The exposed clay on the ring foot is treated with a protective glaze, imparting a simple and elegant charm. Its form is graceful and dynamic, with the floral mouth design showcasing unique ingenuity. The sky-blue glaze and the copper-red kiln-transformation patches complement each other, highlighting both the magical color transformations of Jun ware glazes and the technical mastery of ceramic production during the Jin Dynasty. This Jun ware sky-blue glaze copper-red kiln-transformation floral-mouth vase is a superb and exquisite example of Jin Dynasty Jun ware art, making it exceptionally precious.
