*Qianjiang means literally "light umber" and is a Yuan Dynasty literati painting-on-paper style where the landscapes are outlined with ink and complemented by strokes of pale umber to designate the lit areas of the landscape. Qianjiang enamels were applied directly on the white glazed porcelain surface, giving the decoration the appearance of watercolor painting on silk or paper. The decorations are pale in coloration and delicate in feeling, in sharp contrast to the richly almost gaudily painted porcelain of the time. Qianjiang painting on porcelain flourished in the latter half of the 19th century up to the early Republic Period around 1910. Objects decorated in this style include brush pots, tea wares, bowls, hat stands, etc where a significant proportion being flat porcelain plaques made to be fitted into screens or furniture. less
