Jun glaze is more vibrant when compared to glazes from the other four kiln sites, ’ Jun ware is known for its very thick, bright bluish glaze, which varies from piece to piece. This blue colour is not derived ...from a pigment, but is actually an optical illusion resulting from a phenomenon called liquid-liquid phase separation, which results in an opalescent effect.’ Some Jun ware also has decorative reddish or purple splashes as a result of copper in the glaze.
