Description
A Qianlong-period three-color glazed vase — the 18th-century Chinese imperial ceramics renowned for their brilliant palette — is here decorated with plum blossoms and rendered in color woodblock. Hiratsuka's 1965 color print captures the vase's rounded form and the delicacy of the applied plum motif with careful attention to the ceramic's decorative program. The Qianlong emperor's reign is identified by its dates (1736-96 AD) in the title.
