The use of underglaze blue cobalt pigment in the decoration of porcelain is arguably one of the most important and influential technological advancement in porcelain technology in the Yuan dynasty. The leather-hard porcelain biscuit was painted in underglaze blue pigment before being covered in either a transparent, or qingbai glaze, before being fired at a high temperature.
Cf. Two similar jarlets are in the Nantucket Historical Association, DBC 11109.1, 11110.1.
Condition Report:
Fritting to rim and a few further expected minor imperfections. some light surface wear. Very shallow flake to the edge of the foot.
