Lot Essay

The bowl is well potted with deep, gently rounded sides rising to a flared rim. It is covered overall with a sky-blue glaze. Compare to a Jun bowl of similar form, sold at Instinct & Knowledge A Life in the Company of Song Ceramics, Bonhams London, 15 May 2025, lot 16.

The result of the C & C Authentication Laboratory thermoluminescence test (report no. 134NH14) is consistent with the dating of the current lot.
