Jun Wares of the Song and Yuan Dynasties
Jun wares were primarily made at kilns in Yuxian, Henan province in northeastern China. During the Song dynasty (960–1279), these kilns were noted for their innovative use of copper oxide to yield the color purple. A popular glaze for Jun wares was a robin’s-egg blue with splashes of purple. Prized for their unadorned glaze and shape, the best quality wares became the monopoly of the Song court, while the rest supplied the commercial market.
