Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Wanli 1573-1620 Room 95 label text:PDF B624Stem cup with three copper-red fruitsThis stem cup is decorated with three fruits: a peach, a persimmon and a pomegranate in underglaze red. The three fruits symbolise the Three Abundances: long life, happiness and children. In the sixteenth century, mostly potters at Jingdezhen substituted underglaze copper-red with overglaze iron-red which was much easier to control and caused less wastage when completing imperial orders. Inside two dragons chasing a flaming pearl are incised into the walls and there is a Wanli reign mark in underglaze blue in a double ring inside the cup in the centre.Porcelain with incised, underglaze cobalt-blue and underglaze copper-red decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Wanli mark and period, AD 1573–1620 PDF B624 銅紅三果紋高足杯此高足杯以釉裏紅裝飾三種水果：桃、柿子及石榴。這三種水果寓意“三多”：多壽、多福和多子。在十六世紀，因更易控製火候且降低廢品損耗，大多數陶工在完成宮廷派燒時，以釉上鐵紅（礬紅）替代釉下銅紅（釉裏紅）。杯內壁劃有雙龍戲火珠紋，內底心雙圈內署青花萬曆年款。瓷器，劃花，青花款，釉裏紅江西省景德鎮明代，萬曆，萬曆款，1573-1620年
