This Jun-glazed three-footed Yi cup emulates the form of ancient bronze Yi vessels. Its body is gourd-shaped, featuring a spout at the front and a hand-twisted handle on one side, supported by three nipple-shaped feet. The lines are fluid and imbued with an antique charm. Covered in Jun ware's classic sky-blue glaze, it displays large rose-purple kiln-transmutation patches where the purple hues blend naturally across the blue surface. The glaze is warm and restrained, offering rich color variations. The exposed bases reveal a solid, sturdy clay body that appears simple yet refined. As a traditional ceremonial vessel, the Yi combines ancient ritual forms with the beauty of Jun kiln transmutations. Suitable as a water container for the study or as a tea pouring vessel display, this small and elegant piece is a highly collectible work of art from the Jun ware scholar's studio collection.
