Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Chenghua Room 95 label text:PDF A647 ‘Palace’ bowl with flowers of the four seasonsPorcelain decorators at the imperial kilns painted the cobalt blue motifs in smooth washes of varying thickness, creating scrolling flower and leaf designs. The cobalt is finely pulverised and evenly applied, in contrast to the fourteenth and early fifteenth century when unevenly ground cobalt fired black in some areas and pale blue in others. This bowl shows gardenia scrolls outside and inside is a composite flower scroll of the four seasonal flowers.Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Chenghua mark and period, AD1465–87 PDF A647四季花卉紋宮碗御窯的瓷器畫師用濃淡不同的鈷藍料嫻熟流暢地描繪裝飾，主題為纏枝花葉紋。鈷料研磨細致，施用均勻，和十四十五世紀形成對比，那時的鈷料研磨不均勻，有的地方燒為黑色，有的地方則為淡藍。本瓷碗外部為梔子花紋，內部為四季花卉的組合纏枝花。瓷器，青花江西省景德鎮明代，成化， 成化款，1465-1487年
