How to distinguish the authenticity of Jun kiln and what are its characteristics?

Jun porcelain is a precious heritage in China's traditional culture. Especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the production of official kiln Jun porcelain reached a perfect level in terms of modeling design, firing technology or variety, glaze color and artistic style, and even imitated Jun porcelain prevailed in the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Due to the different technological conditions and aesthetics, since the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Jun-like kilns have not only inherited the traditional skills, but also created and fired a number of new varieties with the characteristics of the times.

Color characteristics: the standard glaze color of real glaze is "earthworms walk in mud lines", which is not available in imitation glaze color. "Earthworms walk away from the mud" is caused by repeated glaze application, glaze cracking and mutual infiltration and melting during firing. When all imitations are on fire, they don't grasp the key point of this process, and there is no such thing as "earthworms walking in the mud" that naturally flows and permeates.

Type decoration: The main types of Jun kilns are: flowerpots, pot holders, plates, bowls, washing machines, stoves, statues, etc. The bottom of Jun kiln porcelain is engraved with digital inscriptions of "one" to "ten". But not all Jun kiln porcelains have this inscription, which was engraved before firing.

Jun porcelain enjoys a long-standing reputation at home and abroad for its bright colors and unique artistic style. In foreign countries, Jun porcelain is called "China Precious Porcelain", which is a rare artistic treasure. Jun porcelain not only stands out from other porcelains in color, but also has its own style in modeling and glazing. Jun porcelain has many colors, too numerous to mention. The most famous ones are: rose red, begonia red, carmine red, chicken blood red, cinnabar red, eggplant purple, grape purple, Ying Ge green, lush green, plum green, azure and various kiln colors. According to legend, carmine, green and ink are rare products.

Jun porcelain modeling is characterized by solemnity, richness, simplicity and elegance. Jun porcelain has sharp edges and corners, beautiful lines, simple patterns and unique carvings. The traditional works of Jun porcelain, such as Zun, Ding, Bowl, Wash, Bottle and other furnishings, are placed in the courtyard, resplendent and radiant; Chen Zhi's several cases are pleasing to the eye and elegant. Jun porcelain is pure, firm and fine, crisp and pleasing to the ear. The enamel of Jun porcelain is deep and vivid, glittering and translucent as jade, and has a bright and flowing feeling. Glaze often presents lines such as pearl spots, roe, tussah silk, crab claws and earthworms. The ancients praised the enamel purity and gorgeous glaze color of Jun porcelain with "colorful jade" and "Jun porcelain is more beautiful than jade". Jun porcelain has different glaze colors, some are monochrome and some are multicolor, but we can't find two products with the same color. This is what people call "unparalleled Jun porcelain", and it is also an aspect of the unique artistic style of Jun porcelain.
