Reticulated fahua vase and stand
Collectors coined the term 法華 or 琺華(Fahua ) in the 1920s. It refers to a decorative palette and style of ornament rather than to a kiln site. Rather like cloisonné decorated objects with boundaries of metal wires, fahua wares are decorated with designs generally outlined with trailed clay paste lines but sometimes with incised lines. These designs are filled in with bright overglaze colours. Chemically fahua glazes are of an alkaline type more commonly used in Middle Eastern ceramics. Two types were made: low-fired fahua stonewares in Northern China and high-fired fahua porcelains in Southern China.

琺華鏤空帶座瓶
二十世紀二十年代,收藏者們創造了術語“法華”或“琺華”,用以指代一種裝飾釉料和裝飾風格,而非某一個具體窯口。與琺瑯在金屬器身以金屬絲掐出裝飾圖案的邊界相似,琺華器通常也以泥漿在陶瓷上堆出裝飾圖案的輪廓,但有時也用刻劃線條作輪廓。圖案輪廓內填充明亮的釉上彩。化學成分上琺華釉是一種鹼性釉,中東陶瓷器皿上使用更為普遍。琺華器有兩種類型:中國北方燒制的低溫琺華炻器和中國南方燒制的高溫琺華瓷器。
