*Kinrande 金襴手 - a ceramics technique in which gold foil designs are placed atop the enamel layer; it is then incised and re-fired.

*After the death of the [[Xuande Emperor]] in [[1435]], many pottery kilns which had up until then enjoyed imperial patronage fell into decline. The quality of ceramics declined, as well. Those kilns had to turn to merchant and commoner customers, and to overseas buyers. Meanwhile, however, pottery at [[Jingdezhen]] began to see some improvement at that same time. - Gallery labels, British Museum.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/21932676782/in/dateposted-public/]
