Qing Kangxi Imperial Black-Ground Famille Verte Brush Washer
A rare imperial black-glazed brush washer with overglaze enamel decoration, exemplifying the technical peak of Kangxi polychrome porcelain.

The black-ground famille verte (known in Chinese as mo di su sancai) was a groundbreaking innovation of the Kangxi period, representing the pinnacle of Qing dynasty enamelware craftsmanship. Its complexity lies in both the technical layering of glazes and the precise control of firing temperatures. First, a green glaze is applied to the porcelain body, over which a black glaze—containing iron, manganese, and cobalt—is evenly layered. This black underglaze must be fired at a high temperature (approximately 1250°C) to achieve a rich, lustrous finish.

Subsequently, the decorative motifs in yellow, green, and aubergine enamels are added and fired at a much lower temperature (800–900°C), demanding a second kiln cycle. The extreme variance in firing temperatures creates significant risk of glaze fusion, color distortion, or surface flaking, resulting in a yield rate of less than 10%. Moreover, the mineral-based glaze compositions require precise control of the kiln's oxidation and reduction atmosphere, making consistent quality extraordinarily difficult to achieve.

Due to its high production cost and complex firing process, the technique was quickly abandoned after the Kangxi reign, with later imitations lacking the finesse of originals. As a result, genuine black-ground famille verte wares are exceedingly rare today, making this brush washer a true treasure among Qing imperial porcelains.

In scholarly and Western collecting circles alike, such black-glazed pieces are recognized as milestones in the history of Chinese ceramics—both technically and artistically. This large brush washer, with its capacious form and exquisite enameling, would have graced the scholar’s desk as both a functional tool and a display of refined taste.

清康熙 御製墨地素三彩釉大筆洗
黑釉襯彩,層染重工,康熙御窯釉彩工藝之巔峰代表。

墨地素三彩為康熙時期創燒的官窯名品,其製作難度堪稱清代彩瓷之最。其工藝流程極為繁複,首以綠釉為基,再罩施含鐵、錳、鈷等礦料配製的黑釉,釉層需厚薄均勻、貼合胎體,否則易產生開片或釉斑。黑釉需高溫(約1250℃)燒成,色澤深沉而富光潤。

釉面冷卻後,再以黃、綠、紫等低溫彩釉進行裝飾,需再度入窯低溫(800–900℃)焙燒,極易導致釉面熔融、色料暈散,甚至胎釉脫落。高低溫交替的燒造方式,成品率極低,不足十分之一。

此外,黑釉的呈色亦極度依賴礦料配比與窯內氣氛,稍有偏差即釉色渾濁無神。故自康熙後便極少續燒,技藝失傳,後世仿品難得其真韻。傳世真品稀若星鳳,其珍稀性與工藝成就俱為陶瓷史上之璀璨篇章。

西方藏家尤重黑釉瓷器的視覺張力與技術難度,視其為中國陶瓷發展的重要里程碑,具有深厚學術與收藏價值。筆洗為文房之用具,此件康熙大筆洗器形寬闊、胎釉精製,為文人案頭不可或缺之實用與藝術兼備之佳器。
