Jun kiln exudes a substantial sense of quality held by the hand, unlike the kind of light and ordinary porcelain cups. It appears both classically romantic and sophisticated at first glance, and a versatile prop for photography. The colors span begonia-red, rose-purple, moon-white jade, and rainy-day green. On a single vessel, a kaleidoscope of hues intermingles, creating a captivating display. To witness red covering the mountains, purple dyeing the forest layers, high mountain clouds and mist, and a sky full of stars, you need not traverse mountains and seas but to look at a single piece of Jun kiln porcelain revealling a world of splendid purples and reds. This enchanting art of kiln-transformed colors has transcended the monochromatic green palette of past celadon, elevating Chinese ceramic art to a higher level.
Writing-Brush Washer with Drum-Nail Design and Glutton Pattern belongs to the traditional Jun kiln style. It takes the form of a traditional writing-brush washer and features glutton patterns and drum-nail decorations, with smooth lines and color variations. The combination of red and white resembles blooming red plum blossoms, exuding elegance and nobility. The stereoscopic and dynamic writing-brush washer reveals a mysterious power. Overall, it’s a precious item that blends culture, art, and practicality.
