In the basin, the sky blue kiln glaze is applied, and the rose purple kiln glaze is applied outside, with obvious bubbles and brown eyes on the glaze surface. The ribs at the mouth edge and the inner wall are brown, and the ribs at the next edge and the outer wall are purple and white. The bottom is coated with soy color fetal protection glaze, and the ten burn nail marks are arranged for a week, and the numeral “nine” is engraved.

According to the Record of the Work Plans of the Manufacturing Office, from the eleventh year of Qianlong’s reign, Emperor Qianlong consciously ordered the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to add the palace name or the place name of the furnishings on the furnishings of Jun porcelain. Such as “(the eleventh year of Qianlong) On the 23rd day of the first month, the treasurer Bai Shixiu said that the eunuch Hu Shijie handed in two six-sided flower pots with uniform glaze… the West Warm Pavilion of the Heart Nourishing Hall; Two pieces of uniform glaze slag bucket… East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Hall; Two evenly glazed flower pots with high stakes; Even glazed begonia basin with two pieces, garnishing the fragrant room. Keynote: The place names are engraved on each side. On the 26th of this month, Bai Shixiu, the treasurer, and Samha, the leader of the seventh grade, held the uniform glaze basin together with a sample of the name affixed to the bottom of the basin and presented it to the eunuch Hu Shijie for review. Purpose: carve the name of the earth horizontally and the small place name vertically. Thank you. ” It can be seen that after the edict of engraving was issued, the “sample of the name of the land” to be carved was designed and pasted on the bottom of the basin and sent to Emperor Qianlong for inspection. The purpose was “to carve the name of the land horizontally and the small place vertically”. From the point of view of the physical objects, the names of the hall inscribed on the bottom of the furnishing-like Jun kiln porcelain are all the names of the hall, that is, the “big place names”, which are horizontally carved from right to left, and the names of the specific furnishings, that is, the “small place names”, which are vertically carved at the bottom. Such a layout is the result of Emperor Qianlong’s own design
