Description
Jun ware small cup with purple splashes - This small cup features a delicate, rounded form that fits perfectly in the hand. Both the interior and exterior are fully covered in an opaque sky-blue glaze, lustrous and smooth as jade. The cup’s body is naturally adorned with kiln-transmuted purplish-red splashes, resembling sunset clouds staining a clear sky—where purple and blue blend in a dreamlike gradient, with a subtle, inner radiance. At the thinly glazed rim, a faint brownish-yellow tone is visible, while the unglazed ring foot reveals a light brown protective slip. The glaze colors of this piece are entirely natural, with its stunning purple splashes perfectly illustrating the miraculous Jun ware phenomenon of "one color enters the kiln, but ten thousand colors emerge." It stands as an elegant treasure among Song Dynasty tea or wine vessels
