釉 With its round sides and slightly inverted rim, this simple,

碗 yet refned bowl represents one of the classic Jun ware shapes,

the ‘bubble bowl’. The name is derived from the illusion of a

soapy bubble that appears on the interior when viewed at a

certain vantage.

A very similar Jun ‘bubble bowl’ was sold at Christie’s Hong
Kong, 6 October 2015, lot 104. An example with purple splash-
decoration, also from the Linyushanren Collection, was sold at
Christie’s Hong Kong, 2 December 2015, lot 2808.
