We worked closely with Li to select these 8 colors from his \u003ci\u003eYan Cai\u003c\/i\u003e color project, in which he used chemical experimentation to revive the formulas of over 60 historical glazes, to represent the brilliant and splendid history of Chinese ceramics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis rich eggplant purple emerges from the coloring agents cobalt and manganese when fired at a low and consistent temperature. First appearing in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, this aubergine glaze reached its peak of popularity during the Kangxi Emperor’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), when the chemical formula was perfected. The dramatic gloss is a key feature of this glaze, which suggests opulence and auspiciousness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/qing_purple_480x480.png?v=1651868922\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEggplant purple-glazed jade vase (ca.

Hailing from a family of ceramic artists, he received formal training at the renowned Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute before starting his own ceramics studio. In addition to inheriting the “watercolor glaze” techniques pioneered by his father, Li Xiaocong, Li Yan Xun spent almost a decade researching and cataloguing the glaze pigments used in Jingdezhen during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Experimenting with chemical methods like glaze reduction tests and pure reagent analyses, he revived more than 60 historic glazes and documented each formula.
