Description:
|
This delicate eggshell porcelain has a flared mouth, shallow rounded sides, and a high foot ring. The rim and the foot ring are particularly thin and delicate. A fine yellow enamel is applied evenly and smoothly on the ware, except the base, which contains a double-ringed reign mark, "made in the Hongzhi period of Great Ming," in two columns, regular script.The yellow enamel of Ming Dynasty is sprinkled over a clear-glazed ware after it has been high fired. Upon the second firing, the color becomes clear and highly translucent. This enamel was already in use in the Xuande period, and it was used in the subsequent reigns. Hongzhi kilns were the most successful in manifesting the brilliance and the charm of this enamel, and it was known as "charming yellow". As yellow was the imperial color, its use was forbidden among popular kilns in the mid-Ming.
