of circular form, having blue and purple ombre glaze, with three applied geometric elements, 5-1/2 in.

Note: Jun ware is a type of Chinese pottery, one of the Five Great Kilns of Song dynasty ceramics. Several different types of pottery are covered by the term, produced over several centuries and in several places, during the Northern Song dynasty (960?1127), Jin dynasty (1115?1234) and Yuan dynasty (1271?1368), and (as has become clearer in recent years) lasting into the early Ming dynasty (1368?1644). The most striking and distinctive Jun wares use blue to purple glaze colors, sometimes suffused with white, made with straw ash in the glaze. They often show "splashes" of purple on blue, sometimes appearing as though random, though they are usually planned.
