Historically, those glazes reached the highest
point during the Southern
Sung and Northern Sung Dynasties in China(960~1234AD),then
gradually declined and eventually disappeared without
successors.
In recent years, in Japan, those glazing
techniques have been studied and
found for modern textures and colors.
Those colors are purple, cinnabar (red), blue-green (like blue eyed),
added on
the indigo-blue and blue-white, obtained by
coppers mixed with a various other ores, recognized as a type of copper
glazes.
