Cup stand with green glaze and flower and phoenix kinrande decoration
The cup stand is covered with a bright green glaze ground and with cut out gold foil which was incised and fired at a low temperature. This decorative technique is known by the Japanese term 金襴手 (kinrande 'gold brocade style’). The gold wears away from the porcelain which is why so much of the detail is missing. This bowl is painted in underglaze blue on the base with a mark which reads富貴佳器 (fu gui jia qi ‘Fine vessel for riches and honour’).

綠地鳳凰花卉紋“金襴手”杯托
此杯托(盞托)以明亮的綠釉為地,其上描金為飾,低溫燒成。這種裝飾技法在日本被稱作“金襴手”(Kinrande)。金彩易磨損,因此紋飾多有脫落。外底署青花年款“富貴佳器”(意為富有尊貴之上好器皿)。
