Potters decorated the dry, unfired glaze with copper-rich pigment, to create a purple in-glaze splashed effect. Jun wares are not as well finished off as Ru or guan wares. In this instance, craftsmen glazed the bottle’s base inside the foot ring but only glazed just inside the neck of the bottle. Northern Song tomb murals show bottles of this shape being used to display a single flower stem, but people may also have employed them for decanting wine.
