Bowl with immortals and their attendants
Early Qing enamels fire as thin, translucent watercolour-like colours, dominated by green, black, aubergine, red and yellow pigments. Black (made from manganese and cobalt) and iron-pigmented red were used for outlining as they were more opaque than the other colours. This bowl is delicately painted with tiny brush strokes, which build up colour and texture. Inside is a peach branch with leaves and one large fruit, on which is pencilled in gold the character 壽 (shou 'longevity') in seal script.

仙人圖碗
清早期燒成的釉上彩為稀薄的透明水彩狀,以綠、黑、茄皮紫、紅及黃彩為主。由於黑彩(由猛及鈷元素呈色)及含鐵的礬紅彩相比其他顏色更為不透明,因此被用於勾勒輪廓。此碗以細膩的筆觸繪製精美的圖案,增強了色調及質感。內部繪桃枝,有葉片及一大桃實,上描金篆體“壽”(意為長壽)字。
