Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Xuande Room 95 label text:PDF B682Blue-and-white bowl with flowers and fruits Although in the previous Yongle period (AD 1403–24) a four-character reign mark was sometimes used, the development of what became the standardised six-character reign mark began in the Xuande era as the result of direct official supervision and control of the imperial kilns by the court. Horizontal marks are read from right to left with the name of the dynasty, emperor’s reign name and the characters for ‘made in the years of’. Vertical marks are generally read from top to bottom and right to left. This bowl painted with fruits and flowers has a six-character Xuande reign mark on the base in a double ring.Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Xuande mark and period, AD1426–35 PDF B682青花花果紋碗盡管之前的永樂時期（1403–1424）有時使用四字年號款，宣德時期才有標準六字年號款的發展，這是宮廷對御窯直接官方監督與控製的結果。橫寫的年號款從右往左讀，分別為朝代、帝王年號以及“年製”。豎寫的年號款一般從上向下從右往左讀。本件瓷碗繪以花果紋，外底雙圈內署六字宣德年款。瓷器，青花江西省景德鎮明代，宣德，宣德款，1426-1435年
