Room 95 label text: PDF 586 Jue with yellow glaze This cup is modelled in the form of an ancient bronze ritual vessel made for heating wine called a jue. It demonstrates an attractive use of a monochrome yellow glaze at Jingdezhen. This colour glaze was used to decorate court porcelain for some five hundred years of the imperial era in China from AD 1403 to AD 1911. Potters fired the jue twice, first at a porcelain temperature of around 1280 to1320 °C and then in a second, lower-temperature firing to vitrify the lead-fluxed, iron-pigmented glaze. Porcelain incised and with applied details and with transparent and yellow glazes Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮 Qing dynasty, AD 1800–1900
