Blue-and-white bowl with geese
Government kilns had access to the finest raw materials including imported cobalt. Imported cobalt is far superior to the blue pigment found locally to Jingdezhen in, for example, Leping and Ruizhou. After grinding for a long time, it appeared almost deep purple when fired beneath a transparent blue-tinged glaze. This bowl is decorated with a riverscape with geese and the base carries a Jiajing reign mark.

青花雁紋碗
官窯擁有最優質的原料,包括進口鈷料。進口鈷料比景德鎮附近例如樂平和瑞州所產的鈷料要好得多。長時研磨后,進口鈷料在泛藍色的透明釉下會燒成幾乎深紫色。瓷碗裝飾以河景大雁,外底署嘉靖年款。
