Published PDF date : Qing Qianlong 1735-1796
Room 95 label text: PDF 898 Bowl with finger citron design A new opaque palette of overglaze colours developed in China around AD 1720. A new opaque white greatly increased the shades of colours available to the potters, and a new pink gave the overall palette a softer feel. Although pink, made using gold, was introduced from the West, European and Chinese craftsmen employed quite different recipes to achieve it. The base has a six-character underglaze blue Qianlong reign mark. Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue and fencai (powdered colours) Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮 Qing dynasty, Qianlong mark and period, AD 1736–1795
PDF 898 佛手紋碗 1720年左右,新的不透明釉上彩色系在中國發展起來。其中新的不透明白彩大大增加了陶工們可以使用的色調,而新的粉色給予了整個新色系更為柔和的質感。儘管以黃金配制的粉色彩料首先自西方傳入,但歐洲和中國工匠調配制造它們的方法卻有很大差異。器底署六字乾隆藍料年款。 瓷器,青花,粉彩 江西省景德鎮 清代,乾隆,乾隆款,1736-1795年
