Saucer-dish with dragons
This saucer demonstrates an attractive use of a monochrome yellow glaze at Jingdezhen. This colour glaze was used to decorate court porcelain for some five hundred years of the imperial era in China from AD 1403 to AD 1911. Potters fired the saucer-dish twice, first at a porcelain temperature of around 1280 to 1320 °C and then in a second, lower-temperature firing to vitrify the lead-fluxed, iron-pigmented glaze. The base has a six-character underglaze blue reign mark of the Kangxi period.

龍紋托盤
這件瓷盤展示了景德鎮對誘人單色黃釉的成功使用。黃釉作為皇家用色來裝飾中國的宮廷用瓷,有五百餘年的歷史(1403–1911年)。此盤為二次燒成,首先以燒瓷器所用的約1280 – 1320°C的高溫燒,再罩施以鉛為助熔劑、鐵為著色劑的黃釉,二次入窯以低溫燒將黃釉玻化。外底署青花六字康熙年款。
