Wheel engraving is a technique of cutting deeply to remove the glaze completely, exposing the Chinese white porcelain. This technique is originally a German glass decorating technique that was suited to Chinese porcelain. The exposed white porcelain contrasted well with the iron-brown ground of the Batavia ware.
