Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Wanli 1573-1620 Room 95 label text:PDF A687 Octagonal box with flying cranesGovernment kilns had access to the finest raw materials including imported cobalt. Imported cobalt is far superior to the blue pigment found locally to Jingdezhen in, for example, Leping 樂平 and Ruizhou 瑞州. After grinding for a long time, it appeared almost deep purple when fired beneath a transparent blue-tinged glaze. The form of this deep octagonal box is very unusual. Flying cranes are an emblem of long life. The characters on the cover 萬壽 (wan shou ‘Ten thousand long lives’) are a wish for long life. Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Wanli mark and period, AD1573–1620 PDF A687飛鶴紋八方盒官窯擁有最優質的原料，包括進口鈷料。進口鈷料比景德鎮附近例如樂平和瑞州所產的鈷料要好得多。長時研磨后，進口鈷料在泛藍色的透明釉下會燒成幾乎深紫色。這件八方形深腹瓷盒的器形非常少見。飛鶴是長壽的象征。盒蓋上的“萬壽”二字為祈愿長壽。瓷器，青花江西省景德鎮明代，萬曆，萬曆款，1573-1620年
