My system is not decent

Chapter 1165 Yutang Spring Vase
Needless to say, the development of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty, various classic types, glaze colors, and craftsmanship emerged in an endless stream.

Among the top ten classic types, there is also a rattle statue.

This is a popular instrument style during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is characterized by a small mouth, a slender neck, plump shoulders, a curved or cylindrical abdomen, shallow ring feet, and a flat bottom.

This kind of bottle is named for its shape like a rattle with a handle, and most of them are blue and white underglaze red products.

Due to the rarity of this type of utensils and the rare existence in the world, they have always been worth a lot of money, and they have attracted much attention as long as they appear.

Chen Wenzhe wanted to keep one of these porcelains anyway, so it was essential to make a Qing Kangxi underglaze red rattle statue.

Then there is the pierced ear bottle, which is relatively rare, but it cannot stand the classic shape.

The Guan Er bottle imitates the style of the throwing pot in the Han Dynasty, with a straight neck, a flat and round abdomen, round feet, symmetrical sides of the neck, and vertical tubular piercing ears.

Ge Kiln, Guan Kiln, Longquan Kiln, etc. were mostly fired, and there were also imitations in the Qing Dynasty.

He had seen this kind of bottle before when he was restoring Longquan kiln porcelain, but Chen Wenzhe had never done it himself.

This time when the opportunity arises, I will naturally make one, at least familiarize myself with the shape of the device, right?

The most important thing is that by imitating such a type of vessel, he can gradually get acquainted with the Ge kiln, and then try to make the pierced ear bottle of the official kiln.

As for the pierced ear bottles of Longquan kiln, there is no need to make more, just one at most.

He has made too much Longquan celadon porcelain, and now he wants to make more porcelain, so there is no need to repeat it.

Of course, it is still possible to make one to see his current condition.

After all, I haven't made Longquan celadon for a long time, and I don't know what kind of emerald jade he can make with his current craftsmanship?
Green as jade, the pursuit of this kind of effect, he has reached the limit of perfection, right?
In this way, Chen Wenzhe was familiar with the types of porcelain he could make before, and at the same time he was groping to learn to make new types.

Now when he makes a type of porcelain, he tries his best to incorporate the glaze color and craftsmanship he knows how to make.

In this way, although the speed of making any kind of porcelain is not fast, as long as it is made, it is a qualified high-quality porcelain.

"Huh? So I've never done bottle appreciation?"

On this day, Chen Wenzhe finally achieved the vase appreciation among the top ten classic porcelain vases.

Appreciating bottles is very famous, but he really did it until he realized that he had never done it before.

If you want to say that the most familiar classic porcelain vase in the collector circle, it must be the appreciative vase.

This type of utensil was also the most popular in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the latest shape that appeared in the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Its function is mainly for rewards, and its shape is derived from the jade pot and spring vase.

The vases handed down from generation to generation are basically the same in shape, with a skimmed mouth, a slender neck, a convex string pattern on the shoulder, a round belly, and a ring foot.

Just looking at the shape of the vessel, it is really not much different from the Yuhuchun vase, and even at the beginning of the bottle appreciation, it is the Yuhuchun vase.

According to legend, Emperor Qianlong once wrote a poem while drinking: one piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven pieces or eight pieces, nine pieces, ten pieces, ten million pieces, and the next sentence, Emperor Qianlong did not know what to say.

At this time, Ji Xiaolan answered the next sentence: Flying into the reeds, you will not see them.

It is such a simple one that solved Qianlong's difficulties.

At this time Qianlong said to Ji Xiaolan, there is a reward!

In this way, Ji Xiaolan was rewarded with a reward bottle.

Appreciation bottles, as the name suggests, are reward objects given by the emperor to ministers of meritorious service.

This kind of vase is painted with twining lotus, which means honesty.

The emperor rewarded them with blue and lotus vases, implying that "an official must be clean and honest".

After the Appreciation Vase was formed, it must not be called the Yuhu Chunping, so it originally had another name, "Yutang Chunping".

In the past, the emperor issued a decree: "Appreciate a pair of spring bottles in Yutang."

The eunuch below will tell the whole story in front of the emperor: "Pass the decree, reward a pair of spring bottles in Yutang."

But as soon as the eunuch turned around, he would say, "A pair of bottles."

To put it simply, the middle was omitted, so, gradually, this bottle was called "Appreciation Bottle", and the original real name "Yutangchun" was no longer called.

Appreciating bottles is truly a treasure of Chinese ceramic art.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that as long as it is a bottle appreciation, it must be from the palace.

After all, can the rewards given to ministers and nobles be worse?

At present, in the market, there are not many vases from the Yongzheng period, but the vases from the Qianlong period are common, which are loved by collectors because of their fine workmanship.

There are several kinds of vases in the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the above-mentioned vases with blue and white tangled branches and lotus, there are vases with gold painting.

Gold-painting vases are mainly vases with blue-glazed gold colored leather ball patterns, and this kind of vases rose relatively late.

It was fired on the basis of traditional vase appreciation, and its shape is similar to that of the same period, but the whole body of the vessel is covered with sacrificial blue glaze, and the glaze is decorated with golden colors.

The theme decoration on the neck and abdomen is a ball pattern.

The patterns are extremely rich: dragon, phoenix, lion, deer, group crane, group blessing, bat chime, gossip, egret, lotus, quail, chrysanthemum, auspicious fruit, pine, bamboo, plum, goldfish, moon, flower insect, butterfly, Wheel flowers and various flowers, and so on.

The golden color and sacrificial blue glaze complement each other up and down, the glaze surface is even and bright, and the golden color pattern is particularly eye-catching, with a unique sense of magnificence and more eye-catching.

However, there are also vases that only offer blue glaze without gold painting. Now there is one in the Nanyun Provincial Museum.

In addition, the Nanyun Museum once collected a Qianlong blue-glazed vase with gold-painted dragon patterns. The decoration of the whole vessel is mainly concentrated on the neck and abdomen, with gold-painted decorative cloud patterns and dragon patterns.

Gold-painting decorations were more common in the Qianlong period, and gold-painting on blue ground is a very common type, often with a high level of craftsmanship.

This kind of gold-painted vases was mainly popular in the late Qing Dynasty. Because the gold-painted vases are easy to be worn, the gold color is easy to fall off, and it is not easy to preserve, so there are few good-looking bottles.

The market price of such utensils is not too high, but the circulation is strong.

At present, there are many counterfeit products in the market, and many of them are post-added colored porcelain.

Among the current bottle appreciation imitations, the biggest disadvantage is that the current imitation bottle appreciation is not well grasped in the shape of the bottle.

Generally speaking, the neck, abdomen and bottom feet are not imitated in place.

As for the blue-glazed gold-painted bottle, the most difficult thing to imitate is the color tone of the glaze and gold color.

But at the same time, this kind of appreciation bottle is also the most difficult to identify, and it is not easy to imitate it.

Then there are famille rose vases. This kind of vases began to appear in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and most of the decorations on other porcelain were transplanted to the vases, and the painted patterns were very rich.

Because the shape of the vase is easy to draw decorations on the abdomen, the famille rose vase is more popular.

But this kind of bottle appreciation is not always used as a reward, but more for appreciation.

Among them, the most common ones are the famille rose vases with hundreds of bats, famille rose vases with hundreds of butterflies and famille rose vases with ball patterns.

And these appreciation bottles were more common in the Guangxu and Xuantong dynasties.

These decorations cover the whole vessel and are relatively complicated. The decoration on the mouth is modified into lotus petals, and the main decorations on the neck and body of the bottle are basically the same.
