Dish with foliated shaped in sky blue glaze, Jun ware, painted in the Precious Ceramics of Assembled Beauty
Dish with foliated shaped in sky blue glaze, Jun ware, painted in the Precious Ceramics of Assembled Beauty. Song Dynasty (12th-13th century).
The album Precious Ceramics of Assembled Beauty, probably done during the fifth decade of Qianlong's rule (ca. 1785-1795), features ten paintings of porcelains, and each leaf is mounted with an upper and lower part. The top includes the name and illustration of a particular porcelain, while the bottom records its dimensions, glaze, form, marking, and previous commentaries. The works in these paintings, judging from the original titles, were wares from the Ding, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Longquan kilns, thereby conveying Qianlong's taste.
