The iron-red, green, and yellow palette fully belongs to this tradition. Under Shunzhi, compositions combining reserved panels and dense geometric iron-red backgrounds constitute a particularly characteristic vocabulary; comparable examples are documented by major collections of 17th-century Chinese porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slightly bluish glaze continues inside.
