Fine Asian Chun Porcelain

Chun porcelain is famous for its amazing change of color during the process of firing in kilns. Beginning in the Tang Dynasty and thriving in the Song Dynasty, it experienced a long history of over 1700 years, covering Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasty till nowadays, during which its glorious beauty has always been cherished, especially since the Song Dynasty when Chun Porcelains were possessed exclusively by the royal family as rare curios, the collection of which by civilians was prohibited, thus the saying had it that "Gold is of high price while Chun Porcelain is priceless".

Chun Porcelains were never carried out of the royal court until the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered that "Chun Porcelains not be buried with the dead" since they were to be handed down for generations of the royal family, thus accounting for its rare appearance among cultural relics. Although they were collected by several world famous museums, the amount is tiny.

The most amazing character of Chun Porcelain lies in the color change during the firing in Kiln.

All of our chun vases are described as red agate in color. They have an exquisite rich purplish color tone suitable for a royal family.
Chun Porcelains are considered of the highest value in any collection.
