[Digital Exhibition 網上展覽] Potted and Painted The Production and Technical Development of Underglaze Blue Porcelain in China 陶成雅器 中國青花瓷的製作與技術發展 For over a millennium, Chinese potters have produced highly sought-after objects decorated in blue and white. The blue pigment was historically produced from cobalt oxide and cobalt carbonate—the former distinguished by a coarser particle size and more intense colour—painted over an off-white-coloured ceramic clay, while the base colour of the objects was lightened by applying a wash of white slip. As technology has improved over time, ceramic materials have become progressively more refined and whiter in appearance.​Along with the increased scale of ceramics production, kiln sizes increased and potters began to make larger objects that were significant both for their size and inherent value as part of the Yuan dynasty tradition of decorating in this particular—now world-famous—colour scheme. Steeped in tradition, the technique continued to develop and modernise as the colours became clearer and the lines better defined.View the Digital exhibition here: https://www.virtual.umag.hku.hk/potted-and-painted-main華夏陶瓷工匠所製的青花瓷聞名中外，而製作工藝已有逾千年歷史。米白坯體上的藍色顏料，來自氧化或碳酸鈷料，前者以較粗糙的質感和濃稠的顏色為特徵。工匠亦曾於坯體上塗上白化妝土作為底色，但隨技術日漸純熟，瓷土本身也已變得更為純淨潔白而不需妝土。​隨著陶瓷業勃興，窯的規模也越趨龐大，而工匠亦能製作更大型的器物。而器物的價值不僅在於大小，其青花設計，更自元代起，流傳海外，至今仍極受青睞。經改良和創新技藝傳統，青花瓷的色彩漸見透徹，線條更顯俐落到此瀏覽網上展覽：https://www.virtual.umag.hku.hk/potted-and-painted-main Date/Time: 01/07/2025 to 30/06/2026 00:00-23:59 Venue: Online Organized by: University Museum and Art Gallery
