Dimensions:Floral‑rim cups:mouth diameter 9.7cm(3.82in),height 4cm(1.57in);Ewer:mouth diameter 10cm(3.94in),height 9cm(3.54in),13th‑14th Century CECondition & Provenance:The full set bears no penetrating cracks or major chips,free from modern restoration.Three floral‑rim cups share consistent shape,covered in classic Jun sky‑blue glaze with naturally‑formed purplish‑red splash patina inside each cup.The rim is edged with amber‑brown glaze.Exposed sandy foot bases show dry ancient clay with distinct hand‑throwing spiral traces.The matching ewer is fully preserved with spout and loop handle intact,its Jun glaze covered by fine natural crackle.Glaze pitting and specks are original firing phenomena;only minor inherited wear appears on rims and foot rims with no post‑manufacture damage.This group originates from a private Song‑Yuan ceramic collection in Seattle,Washington,USA.The collector acquired the set from a Hong Kong antique gallery in the 1990s and kept it in climate‑controlled dark private storage.Complete surviving Jun‑yao tea‑wine service sets are quite uncommon.Description:This is a complete Yuan‑dynasty Jun‑yao wine‑tea service ensemble,comprising three floral‑rim cups together with one ewer.The cups feature lobed flower‑shaped flared rims,curved tapering bodies and sturdy low ring‑feet.Amber‑brown slip trims each rim.Interior and exterior are covered in Jun sky‑blue glaze with fluid naturally‑blended purplish‑red kiln‑change splashes,the iconic aesthetic hallmark of Jun ware.The companion ewer has a plump rounded body,short straight spout,loop handle and short neck,coated in moon‑white Jun glaze with pervasive fine age crackle.All bases are unglazed,exposing coarse sandy northern‑kiln clay of Yuan‑dynasty date with rough‑cut trimming and visible throwing spirals.Famous for unpredictable kiln‑transformation glaze effects,Jun kilns produced large quantities of folk‑use drinking vessels during Yuan times.Nevertheless,intact matching cup‑and‑ewer groups are exceedingly rare today.This full ensemble carries primitive ancient glaze tone,organic kiln‑splash patina and genuine aged clay.All inherited antique patina remains untouched.It vividly demonstrates the bold unrefined folk craft aesthetic of northern Yuan‑dynasty Jun‑yao and represents a rare museum‑grade intact Jun‑yao functional service set.
