Note 299 — Chapter X · K’ANG HSI POLYCHROME PORCELAINS

Apparently huang lü huan, yellow and green (?) circles. But without the Chinese characters it is impossible to say which huan is intended. The description seems to apply to the “tiger skin” ware, where yellow, green and aubergine glazes have been applied in large patches. Bushell (O. C. A., p. 331) makes this expression refer to the specimens with engraved designs in colour contrasting with the surrounding ground, such as Fig. 1 of Plate 79; but this does not seem to suit the word huan.
