Ceremonial Blue Glaze (also known as Ji Lan, Ji Qing, or Imperial Blue glaze) was a renowned glaze used in official kilns during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The cup features a bell-like shape, complemented by the imperial court?s signature color-ground and white-paste technique. The harmonious blend of blue and white glaze creates a beautiful effect, resembling a lotus flower gently picked in the morning, bringing a vibrant, lively touch to the piece.
