A porcelain in the Qing Dynasty glows in the dark

An ordinary porcelain can make a light shine? It is estimated that you will not believe it. However, there is such a porcelain that can glow in a dark environment, like the legendary "light cup."

“The Nightlight Cup has been heard. It was made of jade and it needs external light to shine. But what is in front of us is a piece of porcelain.” The collection of this “luminous glow” is the owner of the city’s Wenbaozhai. According to the owner, some time ago, the shop suddenly lost power, and he discovered that the porcelain even radiated light.

Subsequently, the owner conducted several tests. He discovered that "the luminous glow" is no different from other porcelain in normal light, and in a completely dark environment, it shines from the inside out. In the shop owner's opinion, this porcelain can appear luminous, may be in the production process, doped with a lot of luminous powder. In response, Zhang Ning, deputy director of the Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee of the Chinese Cultural Relics Association and a national-level senior ceramic appraisal expert, stated that after identification, this is a red, colored, and luminous butterfly. It was manufactured in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and is an official kiln porcelain. However, as to why it emits light and its firing data, it is still necessary to consult the Qing information to clarify.
