Abstract: It is able to compare the Song Yaozhou hare's fur temmoku(SYHFT) bowl with Jian bowl under the discovery of SYHFT in Yaozhou kiln site. It is proved that the formation mechanism of Song Yaozhou hare's fur glaze is the same as the second mechanism of Song Jian hare's fur glaze. The body of SYHFT bowl is white, which belongs to stone ware of fine ceramics of kaolin - quartz - feldspar system with well fired. The whole producing technology was much more advanced than that of the Jian temmoku with coarse irony body. But from the point of the tea art ceremony, temmoku bowl with larger heat capacity is necessary, so it is not as good as Jian temmoku. The formation of the jady streaks in SYHFT is due to many nanosize γ – Fe₂O₃＋Fe₃O₄ spherulites crystauized in the shallow layer under the glaze surface. They are the scattering particles, which made the incident light scattered. In macroscopic view they become defined jady fur streaks.
