☆ Jingdezhen, China Blue and White Linglong 5-piece Set Known as "蛍透かし" (hotaru sukashi) or "蛍手" (hotaru-de), this technique, primarily used in Jingdezhen during the Ming Dynasty, involves creating tiny, rice-grain-sized holes in the porcelain. These pierced areas are then filled with transparent glaze and fired, resulting in transparent patterns. It is said to have originated in Persia. In China, it is called "玲瓏" (linglong). The unique translucent patterns, like scattered dots, and the "linglong" technique demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship not just in the painting but in the creation of the vessel itself. These were a gift and have been stored in a warehouse wrapped in newspaper. No box is included. The translucent parts are very beautiful when held up to the light. Cup size: Diameter 7.5 cm Height 5.5 cm *Please forgive any slight errors due to amateur measurements.
