It is still fired at Shenhou, the kiln town in Yuzhou, Henan that has produced it for roughly a thousand years. A Jun glaze is not painted on: copper and iron oxides suspended in the glaze re-form during firing, and the colour that emerges depends on the temperature, the kiln atmosphere and where the piece happened to stand.

Jun glaze colour is created by kiln transmutation (窑变) rather than painted on, so every firing lands somewhere different. The maker states plainly that differences in colour and pattern between pieces are a natural result of the process and not a quality fault. The photographs show the piece the supplier fired; yours will be recognisably the same object in a glaze of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Jun porcelain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJun ware (钧瓷) is one of the Five Great Kilns of the Song dynasty, alongside Ru, Guan, Ge and Ding.
