This Jun Kiln Gaiwan set, accompanied by 5 beautifully varied Gongfu tea cups, embodies the unique characteristics and artistry of traditional Jun kiln ceramics. A key feature of Jun kiln porcelain is its kiln transformation (窑变), where the final color of each piece is not predetermined before entering the kiln. Instead, after being fired at high temperatures, metal ions in the glaze interact to create an astonishing range of colors, giving rise to the famous saying, “one color goes in, but a thousand colors emerge.”
Gaiwan:
- Capacity 150ml
- Body Diameter 9.7cm * Height 8.0cm
The final glaze colors that emerge are often breathtaking, with hues such as rose purple, begonia red, aubergine purple, plum green, deep purple, beige, sky blue, crimson red, cinnabar red, and emerald green. These colors intertwine and overlap, creating an intricate and dynamic pattern on each piece, which gives the Jun kiln ceramics their exceptional and radiant beauty. The unpredictable yet striking colors resulting from the kiln firing process add an extraordinary artistic charm that has been revered since its inception, placing Jun kiln porcelain among the finest in Chinese ceramic artistry.
