Room 95 label text: PDF B593 Vase with robin’s egg glaze This vase is covered with a mottled glaze which connoisseurs traditionally describe as robin’s egg because of its similarity to a robin’s egg. During the 18th century a range of opaque turquoise glazes were made at Jingdezhen. These were coloured with copper and opacified with arsenic. Porcelain with robin’s egg glaze Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮 Qing dynasty, about 1700–1800
PDF B593 知更鳥蛋釉瓶 這件瓷瓶釉色斑駁,因和知更鳥蛋顏色類似,鑒賞家們傳統描述為知更鳥蛋釉。十八世紀的景德鎮生產各種乳濁孔雀藍釉,以銅為呈色元素,以砷乳濁化。 瓷器,知更鳥蛋釉(爐鈞釉) 江西省景德鎮 清代,約1700–1800年
