Informal information:
A familiar kiln change glaze from Heian Kosen, but every one is different owing to the path of the flames in the kiln. The Jun glaze is thick, and gets its pale blue colour from Iron, with some flashes of pinks from either Tin in the glaze reacting with Chrome, or more likely atmospheric Copper from another pot. being fired at the same time.
The result is a light, subtle glaze that will work perfectly with a tree with delicate foliage such as a Japanese Maple. Other trees will of course be suitable too.
Condition: Used, patina, excellent.
Heian Kosen, born 1933, inspired by Tofukuji he was making pots by 1955. He was a devotee of wood fired kilns, and always tried to fire in one, even as smoke regulations outlawed them in many areas. He perfected the pear skin clay effect beloved of Tofukuji, and made many excellent glazed pots, many feature yohen or kiln change effects. He's a great value potter for works similar to those of Tofukuji.
