IV. Craft Highlights

1. Multi-Layer Carved Brocade Ground Craft

   The neck, rim and base foot are fully covered with hand-carved scrolling grounds, paired with multi-layer colored borders of foreign flowers and Ruyi lotus petals, requiring repeated kiln firings through intricate procedures.

2. Exquisite Architectural Landscape Painting

   Rulers are used to precisely outline pavilion structures. Famille rose and enamel pigments are layered to render subtle textures of mountains, rocks and mist; fine details of figures, stone arch bridges and waterfalls are vividly depicted.

3. Three-Dimensional Sculpted Beast-Head Handles

   Auspicious beast heads are hand-sculpted with integrated gilded movable rings, delivering prominent three-dimensional texture, distinct from mass-produced flat decal porcelain.

4. Heavy Genuine Gilding Process

   Genuine gold outlines adorn the rim and all pattern contours, fired repeatedly at low temperature to retain mild, long-lasting luster.

5. Multiple Re-Firing Procedures

   Base glaze, famille rose, enamel and gilding are applied and fired separately in batches. The finished yield rate is low, and hand-painting takes an extremely long cycle to complete.
