Description: Porcelain plate, shallow, underglaze powder blue. Powder blue, or soufflé blue, is different in manufacturing from other blue glazes in which the cobalt material is not mixed with the glaze. Instead, it is blown dry onto the raw biscuit by using a piece of gauze stretched over the end of a bamboo tube, then cover with a clear glaze and fire. It results a rich lapis lazuli tone, which may be further embellished with etched designs or gilding.
