Yellow glaze was first created and fired in the official kilns of Jingdezhen during the early Ming Dynasty. It reached its peak during the Chenghua and Hongzhi periods of the Ming Dynasty. By the late Kangxi period, with the introduction of foreign technology in enamel colors, low-temperature yellow glaze, using antimony as a coloring agent, was also produced in China. Along with various foreign glaze materials entering China, lemon-yellow glaze emerged during the Yongzheng period. Lemon-yellow glaze became the most esteemed glaze of the Yongzheng reign, deeply cherished by the emperor. Lemon-yellow glaze is a low-temperature glaze primarily colored with antimony oxide. During the Kangxi period, the Imperial Household Department already used it as a coloring material and decorative element for enamel porcelain. Its development into an independent category of colored glaze began during the Yongzheng period, referred to by contemporaries as Western Yellow or Foreign Yellow. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, Tang Ying's Record of Ceramic Achievements Monument documented fifty-seven types of colored glazes and glazes for imperial use, among which Western Yellow Glazed Vessels referred to items with lemon-yellow glaze.
