- Description:
Open, deep arc wall, short circle foot. The white glaze inside the vessel has no grain, and the outer wall is covered with light green glaze. The glaze color is light green and elegant, and the glaze surface is covered with fine pieces. The blue and white book “made in the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty” is a six character two line regular script with double circles. It is generally called as blowing green because of its clean light green and yellowish color, or describing its fragile feeling that can be broken by blowing, or because it is made by blowing glaze technique. Blowing green is the representative color of the low-temperature copper green glaze in the Yongzheng Dynasty, which is commonly seen in small articles. As the glaze color is difficult to control, dozens of green blowing glazed cups are stored in our hospital. Almost all of them have color difference, some are green, some are yellow. This kind of small bowl is used for tea. The Qing House Aftercare Committee handed over the inventory, which was originally named “Yongzheng Style Turquoise Green Tea Cup”. There are two kinds of tea cups: skim and open.
