Covered Box with Pale Yellow Glaze

Pale yellow glaze was created during the Yongzheng era as a more subtle alternative to traditional yellow glaze. Because the elegant yellow color resembles the color of egg yolk, this type of glaze is commonly called “egg yolk yellow”. The two pieces of the box are a set with a pearl-shape knot on the lid. There are seven flower-petal shaped partitions inside the box.
