Underglaze Blue and Red 21.6 x 27cm |
Starting from the Yuan dynasty, underglaze blue has gradually
come out first in the art of decoration on ceramics. The fully developed and advanced
technology in the production of underglaze porcelain with the characteristics of its
lustrous glaze, dense body, elegant color tone, and versatile typeforms, are the main
contributing factors. The Shanghai Museum is famous for its collection of underglaze blue
and red porcelains of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, from which one can fully
understand the development
process of this ceramic art.
