Third, after the embryo is dried in the shade, draw various patterns on the bowl surface.

Fourthly, uranium is added, and the bowl blank is fired in a high-temperature kiln.

There are obvious differences in modeling, glaze color and decorative patterns of porcelain bowls in different periods. Before the Tang Dynasty, bowls were mostly straight and flat-bottomed, glazed to the end, and basically had no ornamentation. There are many kinds of bowls in Tang Dynasty, such as straight mouth, skimming mouth and sunflower mouth. There are lips protruding from the mouth, mostly flat bottom, jade wall bottom, ring bottom, glazed near the bottom, glazed fine products, simple carving. Bowls in Song Dynasty were mostly hat-shaped and straw hat-shaped, with a large mouth and a small circle foot, and the diameter of the circle foot was almost one-third of the mouth edge. Glaze color is mostly monochrome, such as shadow blue, black, sauce color, white and so on. Decorative patterns are carved, scratched and printed, and characters and images of baby plays, animals and plants are painted on the inner and outer walls or the inner bottom of the bowl. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the bowl shape in Yuan Dynasty is characterized by being tall and heavy, the circle foot is inclined inward and left, and the cross section is eight-shaped. Most of them are decorated by printing and carving. There are many kinds of bowls in Ming dynasty, such as heart-shaped, chopping block-shaped, flat-folded, etc., with narrow sides and mostly decorated with painted flowers. The decorative technology of painted flowers was applied to bowls, which began in Changsha kiln in Tang Dynasty and transited to Cizhou kiln in Song Dynasty. Its inspiration comes from the blue and white flowers in Yuan Dynasty, and it really flourished in Ming Dynasty. The bowls of the Qing Dynasty are better than those of previous dynasties in every respect. The shape, glaze color and decorative pattern of the vessel are more abundant and diverse, and the craft is more exquisite and delicate. The royal bowl decorated with three colors and five colors is even more amazing.
