Cup with the Eight Immortals
This cup is painted with the Eight Immortals. Zhongli Quan, Zhang Guolao, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi , Cao Guojiu, Li Tiegua, Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu. Qing 粉彩 (fencai ‘powdered colours’) are opaque and have no underglaze blue outlines. The opaque colours of this palette are made of lead-alkali-silicates, like cloisonné enamels. Pink and a lead-arsenate-white enamel were introduced to the palette about AD 1720, greatly increasing the range of possible colours available to the potters.

八仙圖杯
瓷杯繪以八仙形象,分別是鐘離權,張果老,藍采和,韓湘子,曹國舅,李鐵拐,呂洞賓,及何仙姑。清代的粉彩(粉狀彩料)乳濁不透明,沒有釉下的青花輪廓線。1720年左右,瓷器裝飾中引入了粉色和砷酸鉛白色釉上彩料,大大增加了陶工們可能使用的色彩范圍。
