<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 488624, member: 118&quot;]I agree that the differences in the drawing styles can be due to the artist skills. However, each period has their drawing</p><p>characteristics. There maybe some variations but general details are always the same. There is usually more than one style in each period&nbsp; but still there are some key features in each of them. We are talking about faces, outlining, leaves, flowers, dragon scales, tales, claws, bats, birds, other animals, diapers, etc</p><p>Few years ago I started making a database with images of all of the above and how they differ during the different periods and style. Too bad I never completed it.</p><p>As to the colors, it’s the same with the drawing styles. True, you can have more than one shade of a color used during a period but still there are some general rules. And is not only then color itself&nbsp; but the type of enamel and its application.</p><p>I’m fine with the “Famille” terms but it’s good to know what Chinese called the different pigments and technique used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, Chinese does not differentiate between porcelain and stoneware, for them it’s all the same. In West we have different understanding of those two terms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
