◆ This is the most representative piece from the Jian yang kilns.

At high temperature the bubbles of glaze bring the iron element to the surface creating crackles that after cooling off became the seen stripes.

Due to the popularity of this pattern other kilns in Jiangxi, Sichuan, Shanxi and Hebei manufactured similar pieces.

飾；因此式樣極受歡迎，江西，四川，山西，河北的其餘窯口也競相模仿，生產相似物件。
