紫 Jun wares were produced at various kiln sites in Henan province
and two of the main centers of production were in the modern-
紅

斑 day cities of Yuzhou and Ruzhou. Jun has been classifed by
later connoisseurs as one of the ‘Five Great Wares of the Song
盤 Dynasty’ and is celebrated for its bold forms, sophisticated glazes

and innovative use of color. The dramatic use of purple and red

decoration is one of the major innovations of the Jun kilns. Purple

splashes, like those seen on the present dish, were produced by the

addition of copper oxide to the surface of the unfred glaze. In

areas where the concentration of copper is high enough for it to

re-oxidize superfcially on cooling, the color sometimes

turns green.

Jun dishes with splashes on both the interior and exterior are
very rare and highly sought after. Examples of similar Jun dishes
include two in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The
Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Porcelain of the
Song Dynasty (I), Hong Kong, 1996, nos. 226 and 230; one sold
at Christie’s Hong Kong, 28 November 2012, lot 2276; and one
exhibited at Eskenazi Ltd., London, Principal wares of the Song period
from a private collection, 8-29 November 2015, no. 17.
