Description:
Six sunflower shaped, with a long mouth, curved deep wall. The wall surface changes according to the mouth of the sunflower, and six equidistant shallow grooves are concave from the outside to the inside. Round bottom, short circle foot. The whole body is painted with blue porcelain glaze, the glaze color is partially gray, the glaze surface is full of ice cracks and dark color flakes, and a circle of gray edges appears along the thin glaze. The original wound on the surface of the penetrator is absent, showing the characteristics of gray black thin body and thick celadon glaze. Apply glaze to the foot border, and there is no exposed glaze on the foot border. The bottom is engraved with Emperor Qianlong’s “Chanting the Sunflower Plate of the Official Kiln”: “Cultivate the internal pottery secret tools, and the official kiln is different from the external. It is hard to distinguish the Longdai from the Fenghuang Mountain. The sunflower style is not ochre, and the ice pattern is half dyed Yin. The Qing Yang is like taking an example, and you must think hard alone.” The imperial poem. At the end of the poem, the chronicle of the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the year of Dingyou in the New Year (42nd year of Qianlong: 1777) was signed, and a seal of “Taipu” was affixed. The shape of this work is a bowl rather than a plate, but the Emperor Qianlong was at the bottom
