从十九世纪晚期开始,西方的中国古陶瓷学者和鉴赏家对精美的豇豆红釉瓷器开始关注并予以极高的评价。四十多年来,陶瓷专家们的研究表明,豇豆红釉瓷器在中国瓷器中的品种和数量是极有限的,它只有八种形式,且都有康熙六字款。中国鉴定家把它们称作八大码。就我所知,没有其它瓷器如此著名且数量稀少。 Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Western Chinese ancient pottery scholars and connoisseurs began to pay close attention to the exquisite cowpea red glazed porcelain and spoke highly of it. For more than 40 years, researches by ceramic experts have shown that the varieties and quantities of cowpea porcelain ware in China are extremely limited. There are only eight forms of cowpea porcelain with the six words of Kangxi. Chinese connoisseurs refer to them as the eight yards. As far as I know, no other porcelain is so famous and scarce in number.
