A Jun ware bowl originating from the Yuan dynasty, exceeds 25 cm in diameter—an unusually large size even among the substantial utilitarian vessels known from Yuan-period Jun ware kilns. Its generous, open form is coated in a thick layer of bluish opaque-glaze, applied almost to the foot. Within the expansive interior, the glaze blooms and pools in soft, diffused modulations, amplifying the ethereal, mist-like tonal shifts for which Jun ware is celebrated. Large bowls of this calibre occupy a fascinating threshold between daily utility and aesthetic refinement, embodying the distinctive character of Yuan Jun ware at its most powerful.

Aside from minor kiln flaws inherent to the firing process, the piece remains in excellent condition.
