Blue monochrome wares with gilded decoration first appear in the Yuan dynasty. An example from this period, a small blue and gilt pouring cup now in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Monochrome Porcelain, Hong Kong, 1999, vol. 37, p. 68, no. 62. During the Kangxi period it was common practice to spray the cobalt oxide onto the porcelain, giving the ware an attractive marbled quality - Gold painting with wear
