Room 95 label text: PDF A549 Bowl with green glaze and kinrande decoration The bowl 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’). Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue, green glaze and gilding Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮 Ming dynasty, Jiajing period, AD1522–1566
PDF A549 綠地“金襴手”碗 此碗以明亮的綠釉為地,以金彩為飾,並低溫燒成。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。碗底署青花年款“富貴佳器”(意為尊貴富有者所用上好器皿)。 瓷器,青花款,綠釉,金彩 江西省景德鎮 明代,嘉靖,1522-1566年
