Cobalt Underglaze · No. 47

Painted in blue, fired in white.

Five centuries of brushwork from a kiln village outside Hanoi — cobalt-oxide drawn across a feldspar glaze, fused in a single firing into one luminous, unhurried surface.

The Glaze Field — a quarterly on Southeast Asian porcelain: lotus motifs, scrolling vine rims, and the calligraphic human line.
