Bowl, 12th century, Stoneware with crackled blue glaze (Jun ware), 4 × 8 3/4 in. (10.2 × 22.2 cm), Jun wares, made for the court and for popular consumption, were produced at the kilns in Henan Province from the tenth to the fifteenth century. The delicate, robins-egg blue glaze covering this bowl was invented at the Henan kilns and typifies early Jun wares. The richness of the glaze is enhanced by the pattern of small cracks that fills the surface, which is known as crackle or crazing. While it remains unclear whether this effect was deliberate or caused by an accident in the kiln, it was prized at the court in the twelfth century and was often recreated in later ceramics. , China, Chinese, Northern Song dynasty (9601127) or Jin dynasty (11151234), Containers - Ceramics.
