- Historic Jun Kiln The Jun Kiln of the Song Dynasty was one of the five great kilns (五大名窑), along with the Ru Kiln (汝窑), Guan Kiln (官窑), Ding Kiln (定窑), and Ge Kiln (哥窑). Jun Kiln was particularly well-known for its unique multi-colored blue glazes with hints of purple, and for the fine forms of its ceramics. Jun-style porcelain was originally created in the Song Huizong period of the Song Dynasty in China (1082) and was produced in Yuzhou City, Henan Province. Over the years, more modern teaware has continued to be made in the style of pieces from the original Jun Kiln.
- The striking dappled patterns of Jun Kiln’s signature glaze are made by painting on multiple layers of glaze and using many natural metal oxide pigments to make layers of different colors. The ceramic is fired at a very high temperature that is very carefully controlled to let the glaze gently flow down the sides of the cup like a stream of water, creating dense feathered visuals of multiple colors.

Slightly smaller than I had expected, but that’s my fault. A beautiful and delicate teapot, nonetheless. I have yet to use her as I’m busy with work, but I look forward to trying it out! She’s a beauty to have, and the staff was so kind and amazing too!
