Robin's Egg Glaze

A Jingdezhen low-fired speckled opaque turquoise and blue glaze, developed in the 18th century, probably in the Yongzheng period (1723-35). It is a bi-color glazing technique, the blue glaze being applied as a simple all-over coat and the turquoise being blown on, to produce a delicate strippled effect.
