Single-fire process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The single-fire process was created by Chinese ceramists during the earliest decades of the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911){{dubious))^{[citation needed]}. The Qing Dynasty is generally divided into three distinct periods: Kangxi (emperor from 1662-1722); Yongzheng (emperor from 1722-1736); and Qianglong (emperor from 1736-1796). The peace and propsperity which characterized much of the Qing dynasty allowed for a tremendous flowering of the arts and culture. There was strong imperial support for all manner of Chinese artists, artisans and craftspeople.
