专家说明

The lustrous black glaze that decorates this pair of bottles became known as 'noir mirroir' or 'mirror black' when it became popular in Europe in the 18th century.

A pair of mirror-black bottle vases with traces of gilt decoration was included in the Exhibition of Chinese Art, Berlin, 12 January - 2 April, 1929, p. 329, no. 861. Another similar vase, also with faint traces of gilt designs, is illustrated by J. Ayers in Chinese Ceramics, The Koger Collection, London, 1985, p. 165, no. 137.
