Just because no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

deb,
I posted your question in the Japanese pottery Mailing List.
I got a few responses. There is one that might be the one you have seen.

He , by the way he is an American who wrote in Japanese, knows
the Chinese Pottery kiln called " Jun - Yao". If you compare the spelling,
we could see that he might be right.


Originally I thought "Juny - Ao" does sound like Japanese glaze. "Ao"
means blue in Japanese but then "Juny" ? . I've never heard such word
or sound in Japanese words. When he said that it could be Chinese pottery
and that is well known one in China. He even wrote the Chinese character for
it.
Unfortunately you can't read it if I write the Chinese character without the
appropriate
software.

Isn't there any Chinese Clayarters?

I've heard of a Chinese glaze called "chun or jun". It is like a blue hares
fur if I remember correctly.

It is very strange but I happen to know that Yao means "kiln" in Chinese.

Dear ClayArt List & the "Juny-Ao" Thread; One could not do better than to
look into Nigel Wood's new book, "Chinese Glazes" for careful disection of
these glazes. Hank in Eugene

For your interest, The first photograph I found in the book
called "Chawan, the teabowls" was a Jun Yao bowl
that the author thought it very rich example
of a teabowl. It is bluish gray glaze.
