山东淄博也是北方的一个重要陶瓷基地, 这套博山瓷厂七十年代的锦青釉茶具, 共计24头. 画片为手绘描金"昭君出塞"题材. 画工精细,带有那个时代特色的金彩, 为创汇时期的精品套壶. 同为5678系列,以前北方窑口的瓷器,如唐山瓷和淄博瓷,明显就没有南方窑口,如景德镇瓷和醴陵瓷更受藏家欢迎. 不过这种情况目前正在改变, 越来越多的藏家开始关注景德镇瓷之外的其他窑口做工精良的瓷器.Wang Zhaojun (王昭君) was one of the court ladies in Han Emperor’s harem. It was not possible for the emperor to meet every one of the three-thousand concubines, so he had a court painter paint their pictures to facilitate his selection process. Every lady tried very hard to win the painter’s favour so that the painter can represent them in a more flattering image. But Lady Wang Zhaojun was confident in her own beauty. She didn’t want to bribe the painter. As a result, the painter didn’t show her beauty in the portrait and the emperor never noticed her. During that time, some nomadic groups from the western region invaded China quite often, so the emperor wanted to make peace with them by marrying some of his ladies to the chieftains. On one occasion, Lady Wang was chosen. When Lady Wang was unveiled at the court, her beauty stunned everybody present and the emperor was deeply regretted for not knowing her earlier. However, it was too late for the emperor to keep her and he had to let her go. The journey to the new home was long and arduous so Lady Wang was given a pipa (琵琶), a Chinese musical instrument, to pass time and the pipa became her signature attribute. Because of her marriage with the Xiongnu (匈奴) chieftain, the region remained peaceful for decades. Lady Wang Zhaojun was credited as one of the four most beautiful women in the whole Chinese history.
