[261] Wai hsin tê
, lit. "recently obtained from outside." Wai evidently contrasts here with nei (the palace), which precedes the first five. Julien, however, gives it the sense "émaux nouvellement inventés."
[262] See T´ao lu, bk. vi., fol. 7. "As to the ware made at Ching–tê Chên at the present day in imitation of the Chün wares, the body material is all of beautiful quality." This carries the imitation up to the end of the eighteenth century. There are, however, imitations made on a soft pottery body which bear the Yung Chêng mark.
[263] See p. 174.
[264] See p. 181. The list quoted on p. 223 of vol. ii. of the wares made at the Imperial potteries in 1730 includes "glazes of Ou: imitated from old wares of a man named Ou. There are two kinds, one with red markings, the other with blue."
[265] kua yu
"applied or added glaze." The significance of the epithet kua lies in the fact that the bulk of the Yi–hsing ware was unglazed.
