Features: Kangxi blue and white is the mainstream of underglaze painting porcelain of this dynasty. With the continuous improvement and development of material selection, refinement, and painting techniques, it has reached a new historical level in both the purity and vibrancy of its color and the firing of underglaze blue and white. The imitation of Ming Yongle and Xuanzong blue and white consciously adopts the technique of thick color stacking to achieve the effect of uneven color and crystalline spots or diffused blurring in Yongle and Xuanzong blue and white. The varieties of underglaze blue and white are rich, such as yellow-ground blue and white, which is elegant and profound, or bean-green glaze blue and white, which is subtle and deep. The firing of underglaze red has matured, with bright and vivid colors, and new varieties like yellow-ground blue and white underglaze red have been created. This book collects over 300 pieces of Kangxi blue and white, blue and white underglaze red, and underglaze red wares, providing a comprehensive introduction to the artistic achievements of underglaze red in this dynasty. It also includes an introduction to the painting of patterns, which is highly beneficial for readers to understand Kangxi blue and white and underglaze red porcelain, making it an indispensable practical reference book.
