Kinrande (‘gold brocade work’) is a Japanese term for silhouette decoration applied in leaf gold, which was practised for a short period in the Jiajing reign. The fluid designs are created through application of a liquid adhesive with a brush, to which the leaf gold would adhere. Details are then incised through the gold. Kinrande porcelains were particularly treasured in Japan, but were also the pride of early Kunstkammer collections throughout Europe, often lavishly adorned with precious metal mounts; see the exhibition catalogue Encompassing the Globe. Portugal and the World in the 16th and 17th Centuries, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington, D.C., 2007, cat. nos P 64-6.

Kinrande stem bowls are very rare. A similar piece, with the gold much rubbed, is in the British Museum, London, from the Harry Oppenheim collection, see Jessica Harrison-Hall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, no. 9: 68; another from the Manno Art Museum Collection was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 28th October 2002, lot 547, later entered the Meiyintang Collection.

「金襴手」為日文，意即金織錦，指以金箔貼飾勾勒邊線之裝飾技法，嘉靖一朝曾短暫施用。藝匠細筆蘸汁以貼金箔，再於表面劃花立骨，以展現圖案之流婉細膩。「金襴手」瓷於日本備受珍愛，更深為歐洲早期博藏珍玩者推崇，時於器上加飾華貴金屬鑲嵌；參見展覽圖錄《Encompassing the Globe. Portugal and the World in the 16th and 17th Centuries》，賽克勒博物館，華盛頓，2007年，編號P64-6。
