• Description:
  The bone of the basin bracket is thick, and the bottom is connected with three wavy legs. The whole body is covered with dark blue glaze. Because the color is similar to lapis lazuli, it is also called lapis lazuli glaze. On the other hand, because the natural flowing spots of glaze color in the firing process are somewhat similar to the “sprinkling blue” glaze of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, it can also be regarded as the imitation of Xuande porcelain glaze. The bottom is exposed and unglazed. It is painted with brown embryo protecting juice, and the bottom center is engraved with two lines of seal characters “made in the year of Yongzheng”. From the fourth year (1726) to the eleventh year (1733) of the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, imperial kilns successively produced Jun like glaze, flowerpots and toilet boxes of various colors, which may be related to the production and burning of this product.
