Striking shades of copper-red, purple, and sky-blue coalesce beautifully on this jar, enveloping it in a brilliant haze of color. A comparable example, albeit less vibrantly glazed, is illustrated in Junyao Yaji: Gugong Bowuyuan Zhancang ji Chutu Junyao Ciqi Huicui / Selection of Jun Ware: The Palace Museum's Collection and Archaeological Excavation, Beijing, 2013, pl. 58. A similar jar attributed to the Yuan dynasty was sold thrice: first, in our London rooms, 27th November 1973, lot 164, the second time in our Hong Kong rooms from the collection of Dr. Ip Yee, 19th November 1984, lot 155, and again in the same rooms, from the collection of T.Y. Chao, 19th May 1987, lot 214. Another with a narrower straight mouth is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (acc. no. 26.292.42).
For slightly earlier examples, compare a Jin-Yuan period jar shown in op. cit., pl. 42, and another attributed to the Jin dynasty sold in these rooms, 18th March 2008, lot 81. A Northern Song prototype can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (acc. no. C.936-1935). Compare also a Ming dynasty, 14th-15th century Cizhou-type Jun-style jar of similar profile formerly in the Manno Art Museum, Osaka, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 28th October 2002, lot 524.
