While we’ve touched on yellow, it’s useful to explore the technical aspects of creating high-quality yellow enamels on Ming Dynasty ceramics. The vibrant and consistent yellow glazes that were a hallmark of some Ming ceramics often required a specific combination of lead oxides, iron oxides, and other materials.
While blue was dominant, let's delve into the specific technical challenges and achievements in using other colors in underglaze decoration during the Ming Dynasty. Although less common, the use of underglaze colors other than blue demonstrates the experimentation and technical skill of Ming potters in their use of a wide range of materials and colours.
