Jun porcelain originated in the Tang Dynasty and reached the peak of firing in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court set up an official kiln in Yuzhou to burn palace porcelain. Those who pass enter _, those who don't pass smash and bury, and are not allowed to flow into the people. The fine Jun porcelain of the Song Imperial Kiln has been hidden in the palace and handed down from generation to generation, so there is a folk saying that "Song Jun has been handed down from generation to generation".

What is the real Jun porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Jun porcelain tires in the Northern Song Dynasty were slightly thicker, denser and grayer. Firing first, then glazing. The glaze is very thick, with moonlight, azure and sky blue as the basic colors. The copper molecules in the glaze are purple after reduction at high temperature. The bottom of Song Jun porcelain is full of glaze, and the ring is full of sesame sauce color.

Due to the thick glaze surface and rolling during calcination, the weight of metal molecules contained in the glaze is different, some float on the surface and some sink at the bottom of the glaze. When cooling, the glaze shrinks at different temperatures, often leaving irregular traces of thin lines flowing, which is called "earthworms walk in the mud" by later generations. Most Jun porcelains in the Song Dynasty have "earthworms get rid of mud", which is an important basis for identification.

Main types of Song Jun kilns
