Bowl with lime-green glaze
This bowl is finely potted and covered with a transparent glaze and underglaze-blue Yongzheng reign mark on the base. In a second firing, potters applied a bright lime-green glaze outside. This colour was an innovation of the Yongzheng reign and was influenced by Western technology. It was made by adding copper to lead-antimonate. Chinese potters made little use of lead-antimonate, despite having large deposits of it, but in Europe it was used for a bright yellow pigment in glass, glaze and oil paint. It is likely Chinese potters indirectly learned about this technology from Jesuits working in China.

青檸綠釉碗
本碗製作精良,先施透明釉,外底署青花雍正年款高溫燒製。之后,陶工在碗外壁施明亮的青檸綠釉,重新入窯二次燒成。這種釉色是雍正朝的創新,受到西方技術的影響,系將銅料加入到锑酸鉛中而成。雖然锑酸鉛在中國儲藏豐富,中國陶工卻很少使用這種彩料;但是在歐洲,锑酸鉛卻在玻璃、陶瓷釉以及油畫中用作明黃顏料。中國陶工有可能間接地從在華工作的歐洲耶穌會士那裡學到了這種技術。
