Source Description
The glazing technique covering the main body of this vase is called lu jun in Chinese (known as “robin’s egg” in English), and it was based on the jun copper oxide wares that developed during the earlier Song dynasty (960–1279). The red glazed rings, freckles, and streaks that appear on this vase emerged as an unpredictable result during kiln firing. No two vessels bear the same overglaze pattern.
