- Description:
The mouth is slightly extravagant, the neck is short, the shoulders are rolling, the stomach is wide, the shape is like a semicircle ball, and the foot is flat. The copper red glaze is applied to the body. Due to the influence of the furnace temperature, the color is different in depth, similar to the color of cowpea (with the same sound as ginger), so there is a theory of cowpea red glaze. There are three groups of dragon patterns with dark flowers on the belly, white glaze on the edge of the mouth and inside, and regular script of “Made in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty” on the outer bottom. Such small mouth semicircle shaped objects are generally called “Taibai Zun”, while Qing palace archives used to be called “flower bag”. According to the book slips of the Western missionary Yin Hongxu, we know that the glaze was applied by blowing glaze.
