青花
从技术角度看,中国青花瓷器使用的是一种含氧化钴的色料。将纹样绘于白色胎体之上,再施以透明釉,经高温烧制而成,然而中国青花瓷的历史比工艺本身更具诗意。
青花瓷在中国制陶业丰富多彩的历史上有着特殊的意义,唐代(618-907)蓝彩就享有赞誉。但是直到蒙古人统治的元代(1279-1368),所谓的古青花烧制技术才逐渐成熟。
丝绸之路,贸易繁荣发展,中国开始从波斯进口钴料,这些钴料极其昂贵且稀少,必须谨慎用料,因其美感与稀缺性,中国古代青花瓷瓶、瓷碗和瓷盘另藏家们趋之若鹜。
元代工匠为他们的作品引以为豪,这些青花瓷的纹样多源于古代传说,甚至有宗教元素,藏于牛津大学阿什莫林博物馆的元青花麒麟纹大盘(藏品编号EAX.1707)是一个经典的范例。
中国青花瓷非常珍贵,通常只用于外交赠礼和特殊场合。
