Jun porcelain is valuable because of its rich and dignified shape, and there are two most prominent aspects: first, Jun porcelain will go through a kiln when it is fired, and the glaze containing copper will form glaze colors such as begonia red, cinnabar red and chicken blood red after the kiln is turned, which penetrate each other and set each other off, and there is a saying that "one color enters the kiln and all colors come out"; Second, the manufacturing process of Jun porcelain is complicated and the yield is low. A piece of Jun porcelain needs 72 processes from material selection to firing.
Jun porcelain is one of the five famous kilns in China in Song Dynasty. It was named after the Song Huizong period, when an official kiln was built near Gujuntai in Yuzhou City to burn royal porcelain. The main contribution of Jun porcelain is that it is fired into gorgeous red glazed Jun porcelain, thus creating a precedent of copper red glaze, changing the situation that there were only black glaze and blue glaze at high temperature in China before, and opening up a new artistic realm.
