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;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe first successful formulation of a high-temperature blue glaze, this deep-sea color was developed and popularized in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), an era in which it was often used to express the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003elan di bai hua\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e (cloud-and-dragon pattern) designs that were popular at the time. Lost to the tides of time, Yuan Dynasty blue-glazed porcelain has become extremely scarce; what remains of it is collected in major museums across the world. Over time, Yuan Ji Blue has inspired a variety of other blue glazes; the original is characterized by its vivid and warm hue as well as its translucency, which evokes the still and graceful deep ocean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/yuan_ji_blue_480x480.png?v=1651868054\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBlue-glazed white dragon plate from the kilns of Jingdezhen (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.
