Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period Monochrome Sancai Vase on Black Ground
A Masterpiece of High-Temperature Alchemy and Ceramic Rarity

This imposing vase exemplifies the Monochrome Sancai on black ground (墨地素三彩), a technical and aesthetic pinnacle in Qing dynasty enamelware, developed during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Revered for its visual contrast and extreme difficulty in production, this category of porcelain remains one of the rarest and most admired of all Kangxi wares.

A high-stakes process of layered fire.
The defining feature lies in its inky black glaze, achieved by layering mineral-rich pigments containing iron, manganese, and cobalt over a green base glaze. This black background must be fired at high temperatures (~1250°C) to stabilize its deep, lustrous hue. Onto this surface, artisans applied low-fired enamels in green, yellow, and aubergine — requiring a second firing at 800–900°C. The juxtaposition of these incompatible firing temperatures made the process highly volatile. Minor miscalculations could lead to pigment bleeding, glaze pitting, or catastrophic failure, resulting in a survival rate of less than 10%.

Material science meets imperial artistry.
The brilliance of the black glaze depends on perfect mineral balance and tightly controlled kiln atmospheres. Such sensitivity — coupled with soaring production costs — led to the eventual discontinuation of this technique after the Kangxi period. Later attempts failed to recapture its tonal clarity and structural precision, making authentic examples exceedingly rare. Today, this ware is prized in international markets not only for its striking aesthetics but also for its emblematic position in the evolution of Chinese ceramic innovation.

Dimensions:
• Height: 47.3 cm / 18.62 in
• Body Diameter: 15 cm / 5.91 in
• Base Diameter: 12.5 cm / 4.92 in
• Rim Diameter: 13.5 cm / 5.31 in
• Weight: Not recorded

Legacy and market value.
Western collectors have long revered black-ground porcelains as symbols of refinement and technical daring. As a true milestone in Chinese ceramic history, this piece transcends form to represent a brief yet brilliant chapter in imperial kiln production — where color, chemistry, and creativity converged.


清康熙 墨地素三彩瓷瓶
高溫疊彩的巔峰之作,稀世難求的宮廷重器

本器為清康熙年間創燒之墨地素三彩瓷瓶,造型碩大挺拔,色彩對比鮮明,釉面光潤深沉,實為清代彩瓷工藝難度之最。墨地素三彩以其極低的成品率與獨特的視覺張力,成為康熙御窯中最稀有且最具技術挑戰性的瓷器之一。

高溫與低溫交疊的極限工藝。
其核心工藝在於黑地釉的製作與彩釉的疊燒控制。素胎初施綠釉為基底,再罩覆含鐵、錳、鈷等金屬氧化物的黑釉層,需高溫(約1250℃)燒製,使黑釉穩定成色、光潤如墨。繼而在其上繪以黃、綠、紫等低溫彩釉,需再入窯於800–900℃燒成。高低溫轉換稍有差池,即釉面流釉、起泡、彩料暈散,嚴重者釉胎剝落,成品率不及一成,工藝難度極高。

原料配比與技術傳承的雙重瓶頸。
黑釉發色仰賴金屬礦料的精準配比與還原氣氛的嚴格控制,稍有不慎即色澤渾濁、質感沉滯。康熙以後因成本過高與工藝失傳,後世難以仿效,晚清及民國仿品皆難復其神韻。現今傳世康熙真品屈指可數,為古陶瓷研究與高端收藏之重器。

藏品規格:
• 高度:47.3 cm / 18.62 英吋
• 腹徑:15 cm / 5.91 英吋
• 底徑:12.5 cm / 4.92 英吋
• 口徑:13.5 cm / 5.31 英吋
• 重量:未記錄

國際視野中的中國黑釉瓷。
西方收藏界尤推崇黑地瓷的造型張力與釉彩層次,視其為中國瓷藝史上一座重要里程碑。本器不僅凝聚康熙盛世的工藝極致,更見證了中國陶瓷從原料、火候至審美的全面突破,是藝術市場與學術界公認的極品。
