Comments:Published PDF date : Yuan, mid 14th century Room 95 label text:PDF A562Dish with a dragon and flaming pearl This porcelain dish is remarkable for its extremely rare technique of combining a white design with a monochrome blue ground. Potters first applied a cobalt-blue monochrome glaze to all but the base, which was left unglazed. Next they cut out in thin clay a sinewy dragon pursuing a flaming pearl and applied it to the dish. They used slip to add details such as the three claws, incised the dragon’s scales, and painted its eyes blue for greater dynamism. Finally they covered it with a transparent glaze and fired the dish at a high-temperature of about 1280–1320°C. Originally the dragon may have been gilded. The flat shape of the dish was probably based on a metal prototype. Porcelain with applied, slipped and incised decoration and cobalt-blue and transparent glazesJingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Yuan dynasty, about AD 1320–50 PDF A562龍戲珠紋盤此瓷盤以極為罕見的藍地白花工藝為人稱道。陶工首先于器身施單色鈷藍釉，外底無釉。然後用薄泥片切出矯龍戲珠紋，粘貼到盤心。再用白色漿料體現龍身細節如三趾龍爪，刻劃出龍鱗，用藍彩點畫龍睛增強生動感。最後盤身罩一層透明釉，放入1280-1320°C的高溫窯爐中燒成。龍身可能原有金彩。其扁平的造型可能源自一種金屬器。瓷器，貼花，白泥繪，刻劃，鈷藍釉，透明釉江西省景德鎮元代，約1320-1350年
