Comments:Published PDF date : Qing Qianlong 1736-95 Room 95 label text:PDF 868Bottle with a poemThis miniature bottle has a four-character Qianlong mark in blue enamel on the base. Seals read 佳麗 jiali (beautiful) and長春changchun (prolonged spring). Potters at the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen made the porcelain but painters decorated them in the Imperial Palace, Beijing, and fired them for a second time at a lower temperature. Formerly scholars called this type of top quality porcelains painted in the palace古月軒器 (Guyuexuan qi ‘Pavilion of the Ancient Moon wares’). Although the guyue seal appears on many pieces, these are now known as琺瑯彩(falangcai ‘foreign colours’) wares as the colours are believed to have been introduced to China through foreign Jesuits some of whom worked in the Forbidden City.Porcelain with falangcai-type enamels Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Qing dynasty, Qianlong blue enamel mark and period, AD 1736–1795 PDF 868詩文瓶小瓶器底署乾隆四字藍料年款。有印文款“佳丽”（意為美丽）、“长春”（意為永恒的春天）兩方。此器為景德鎮御窯廠陶工製作素瓷，北京皇宮內匠師繪製圖案，而後二次低溫燒成。過去學者們將這一類宮廷所繪高品質瓷器稱為“古月軒器”（意為遠古月亮之軒堂所制器物）。儘管“古月”印文款在很多器物上都能夠見到，現在通常稱此類器物為“琺瑯彩”器（“外國彩”），因其彩料為耶穌會教士們傳入中國，一些教士供職在紫禁城。瓷器，琺瑯彩類型江西省景德鎮清代，乾隆，乾隆藍料款，1736-1795年
