Plain Tricolor Plate with Designs of Flower, Fruit, and Dragon among Clouds

he design of dragon among clouds is carved on the wet clay body before applied with the transparent glaze layer and fired the plate at a high temperature. The floral pattern is painted over the glaze. Then the plate was refired at a low temperature. When the carving underneath the glaze and the painting on top of the glaze are integrated, a unique partly-hidden and partly-visible design is created.
