RED QING DRAGON
#dragon #Qing #ceramics
This one of those masterpieces of Qing Ceramics that are almost too clever in their combination of technique and imagery. Why?
That particular red hue was quite difficult to achieve. Reds from either copper or iron had to have special firings within certain temperature ranges. In addition to the perfect coloring of the glaze and the detailed complex painting whoever made the pot sprigged carved or molded a raised area for the dragons! # different artisans and technicians combined their skills into this exquisite vessel.
