Published PDF date : Qing Qianlong 1736-95
Room 95 label text: PDF 851 Enamelled glass wine cup with landscape Enamelled glass painted within the same workshops as porcelain in the Forbidden City is much rarer than enamelled porcelain. Chinese glassmaking technology has traditionally been influenced by foreign craftsmen and the palace workshops were supervised by European Jesuits. Although this opaque white glass cup derives its shape from contemporary Qing porcelain made at Jingdezhen, the enamel decoration is informed by European painting styles. The cup has a four-character Qianlong reign mark in blue enamel on the base. Enamelled glass Forbidden City, Beijing 北京故宫 Qing dynasty, Qianlong blue enamel mark and period, AD 1736–95
PDF 851 玻璃畫琺瑯山水圖酒杯 在紫禁城內同一作坊製作的玻璃胎畫琺瑯器物,遠比同期製作的瓷胎畫琺瑯器物要稀少得多。中國玻璃器的製作技術傳統上一直受到外國工匠的影響,宮廷內的作坊也由歐洲耶穌會傳教士所負責。雖然此件不透明白玻璃杯的器形參考了清朝同時期景德鎮製作的瓷器,但琺瑯彩的繪製卻參考了歐洲的繪畫風格。此杯器底署乾隆四字藍料款。 玻璃畫琺瑯 北京故宮 清代,乾隆,乾隆藍料款,1736-1795年
