Curator's comments
Published PDF date : Qing Kangxi 17th century
Room 95 label text: PDF C509 Dish with copper-red glaze The skills used to create these extraordinary red glazes were lost in China from the mid-fifteenth century until they were rediscovered in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The glaze has ‘crept’ at the rim of the dish to reveal the pure whiteness of the porcelain body. Porcelain with copper-red glaze Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮 Qing dynasty, Kangxi period, AD 1662–1722
PDF C509 銅紅釉盤 在中國,燒造此種非凡紅釉的技術從十五世紀中期就已失傳,到十七世紀晚期至十八世紀早期才又恢復。此盤口沿在燒窯中縮釉形成“脫口”現象,顯露胎體的潔白。 瓷器,銅紅釉 江西省景德鎮
