The fascination with Jun ware lies in its remarkable glaze, and its
lustrous and opalescent qualities, as evident in the present jardinière.
The purplish glaze with lavender-blue suffusions is termed meigui
zi (rose purple) in Chinese. A similar rose-purple-glazed Jun
jardinière incised with the numeral ‘three’ and with a similarly
reduced neck is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, and
included in A Panorama of Ceramics in the Collection of the National
Palace Museum, Chun Ware, Taipei, 1999, pp. 54-55, no. 10. Other
‘number three’ examples include one in the Freer Gallery and two
in the Harvard University Art Museum, illustrated in ‘Numbered
Chun Ware’ , Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, vol. 21,
1945-46, p. 64.
