Covered Sky-blue Prunus Vase with Purple-red Splashes, Jun Ware

Jun kiln site ais located int Yuzhou city, Henan province This vase bears purple-red spots on its moon-white glaze, like clouds floating in the sky. The craftsman did it randomly but somehow achieved a very artistic style. Originally used as a wine container, the prunus vase was designed with a cover. However, as time went by, most of those vases lost their covers. Among the very few surviving prunus vases from the Jun kiln, this one with its cover intact is very precious.
