The glaze was, in fact, blown as powder through a straw onto the porcelain before firing. The blowing process created a mottled look. Powder blue pieces are often decorated with gilt motifs. This jar features a grasshopper on a prunus branch. Additional gilt decoration encircles the rim and base of the jar. less
