Born from the legacy of the Song dynasty, Jun ware rose to prominence following the brief yet refined era of Northern Song Ru ware, earning its place among the Five Great Kilns. Unlike monochrome traditions, Jun ware celebrates transformation—captured in the ancient saying: “One color enters the kiln, ten thousand colors emerge.”

Fired at an intense 1350°C in a reduction atmosphere, the glaze—formulated with copper and iron—reacts unpredictably with clay and flame. The resulting colors are not painted or controlled, but shaped by the kiln’s breath itself.

This thumb-ring cup is a contemporary tribute to that spontaneous beauty. Its straight-walled, upright silhouette is accented by a striking violet kiln transformation—appearing like a soft yet vivid stroke of flame across the surface. The glaze reveals layered depth, shifting subtly with light and shadow, expressing the organic alchemy unique to Jun ware.

Designed for both presence and performance, the cup carries a substantial, weighted feel in the hand—grounding each tea session with quiet intention. Its generous capacity and cylindrical form make it especially suited for extended enjoyment of:

Oolong tea

Aged Pu-erh

Teas that gradually unfold in aroma and complexity
