The Wucai (五彩）Porcelain shown above is all from the Qing dynasty and dates from the 18th century.
Although Wucai can be translated as ‘five-colour’ the colours are not limited to that number and it can best be understood as multicoloured.
Characterised by the over glaze decoration of coloured enamels after the porcelain had been fired once with a blue under glaze design. The over glaze enamels included a variety of colours such as red, green, blue, yellow and purple. Once the coloured over glaze enamels had been applied, the porcelain was then fired a second time, but at a lower temperature.
