The bowl has a soft, rounded form with a gently outward-curving rim, embodying the elegant simplicity typical of Jun ware. The glaze is a pale blue with a subtle, even texture that accentuates the bowl's smooth surface.
A standout feature is the distinctive purple splashes, a signature of Jun ware, adding vibrant contrast to the otherwise tranquil blue glaze. The base is slightly recessed, and the unglazed foot reveals the natural color of the clay.
