Chapter 1174

Lantern bottle, named for its shape like a lantern, has a straight mouth, short neck, full shoulders, tube belly, and ring feet.

Lantern bottles were created and fired by Jingzhen official kilns during the Yongzheng period, and were popular in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty.

During the Qianlong period, many lantern bottles were made. This Chen Wenzhe would not make more, just copy one at random.

After thinking about it, he still made a pastel lantern bottle.

In comparison, the famille rose lantern vases from the Qianlong period are the best.

No way, that period was considered to be the period when the national power of the Qing Dynasty was at its peak.

Inside Chen Wenzhe's Pearl of the Marquis of the Sui Dynasty, he saw several famille rose lantern vases from the Qianlong period. One of the famille rose lantern vases was shaped like a long round lantern, and the outer wall was painted with a picture of a garden baby playing in famille rose.

The picture in the picture is very delicate, with undulating mountains in the distance, and small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and ancient pines nearby.

There are also [-] brightly dressed boys playing in the courtyard, holding blessing lamps, setting off firecrackers, or beating gongs and drums.

Chen Wenzhe didn't make much pastel porcelain before, not because he didn't like it, but because making pastel is quite troublesome.

Otherwise, how can the slightly better pastel porcelain be worth a lot of money?

And like the pastel porcelain that Chen Wenzhe saw, it is not easy to make, mainly because it is difficult to draw nuanced and vivid pictures.

It turns out that Chen Wenzhe's shortcoming is very obvious, that is, drawing.

He is a master in color painting, and he is also a master in carving. This allows him to paint various patterns, such as peony, cloud and dragon patterns, taotie patterns, etc., which can be painted very delicately.

However, painting, or painting on porcelain, is different. The implication contained in the painting, and even the expressions of the characters and scenery, etc., need to be paid attention to.

There is also the artistic conception expressed in the painting, such as tranquility and far-reaching, peace and tranquility, and so on.

Then there is the final color development of the painting, the glaze color of the painting, and the color development after firing. It is not what you painted before, and you can only know it after firing.

There are too many kinds of experience that need to be grasped.

To really draw a flawless picture, you definitely need some foundation in calligraphy and painting, and even more so, you need an accurate grasp of glaze color.

What's more, what Chen Wenzhe wants to paint is still a master-level picture, which is even more difficult.

Recently, the Pearl of Sui Hou has become more powerful. Chen Wenzhe would immerse himself in dreams every day when he sleeps, practicing his various shortcomings, including calligraphy and painting.

While studying and making, Chen Wenzhe feels that he has made rapid progress.

Like glaze color, making pastel is not necessarily all pastel, because it needs to leave white, so sometimes white glaze is used.

If you don't want to use white glaze, you can also use other glaze colors as a base.

This is the reason why white ground, red ground, blue ground and other porcelains appear, but this time Chen Wenzhe will not use simple white ground.

Because there was another very beautiful lantern vase in the Qianlong period, it was a Qianlong style lantern vase with famille rose and folded branches and flowers.

It is 24.6 cm high, 8.2 cm in diameter and 8.2 cm in foot diameter.

Skimming mouth, short neck, sloping shoulders, cylindrical belly, and ring feet.

The inner wall of the bottle is glazed with turquoise green, and the brocade floor on the outer wall is patchworkly depicted with patterns such as lotus, peony, and rose.

The outsole is covered with turquoise green glaze, and the six-character three-line inscription "Qianlong Years of the Great Qing Dynasty" is signed in blue and white seal script.

The biggest difference between this lantern bottle and the previous one is the turquoise green glaze used in the bottle.

This bottle is not only applied with pastels, but also with turquoise green glaze.

This kind of lantern bottle is definitely more troublesome to make than pastel porcelain, but because I am not specialized in one art, I will not make pastel or turquoise green glaze to the extreme.

Therefore, it is still very good to try this kind of porcelain with mixed glaze colors.

If this kind of porcelain can be fired successfully, then Chen Wenzhe can start firing pure fine pastel porcelain.

If the turquoise green glaze is studied well, it is also possible to fire a piece of porcelain with all turquoise green glaze.

You know, turquoise green glaze had an extraordinary status in the Qing Dynasty.

Before that, Chen Wenzhe made a large number of green glazed porcelains, mainly including melon rind green glaze, lake green glaze, apple green glaze, malachite green glaze, Langyao green glaze and so on.

Although he also specially made a piece of porcelain with turquoise green glaze, he didn't realize that there is anything special about turquoise green glaze.

In fact, turquoise green glaze has another name, which is "okra green glaze".

Chen Wenzhe used to make "okra green glaze", which is actually turquoise green glazed porcelain.

With in-depth study, especially when it comes to fine porcelain from various eras, Chen Wenzhe knows more and more.

Only then did he realize that turquoise green glaze is not simple.

Turquoise green glaze is a low-temperature green glaze created and fired during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

The glaze color is yellowish-green, and can be divided into shades, as beautiful as turquoise. This pleasing glaze color was very popular in the Qing Dynasty.

The green porcelain of the Qing Dynasty is unique, among which the utensils of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties are the most exquisitely crafted.

It can be said that green glazed porcelain performed very well in the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to the known standard green, there are also typical colors such as oil green, turtle green, lake green, and roe green.

These green-glazed porcelains are dignified and generous in shape, simple and elegant, and are a very rare and precious porcelain variety in the Qing Dynasty.

There were many kinds of green-glazed porcelain in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and glaze colors such as turquoise green were very popular at that time.

Green-glazed porcelain in the Yongzheng period mainly includes malachite green glaze, turquoise green glaze, melon skin green glaze, and yellow-green glaze.

Compared with the works of the Kangxi period, the peacock green glaze at this time is darker in color.

Moreover, the glaze is thicker, with finely divided pieces, and the glass texture is stronger. The shapes are mainly bottles, washers, basins, etc.

Turquoise green glaze is named "turquoise green glaze" because it is close to the color of turquoise.

The enamel of turquoise green glaze is very shiny, and it is a relatively rare porcelain variety in the Yongzheng period.

Most of the shapes are bowls, plates, cups and other daily utensils.

During the Qianlong period, turquoise green glaze and malachite green glaze porcelain were very popular.

At this time, there are a large number of turquoise green glaze handed down products, and their shapes are mostly bowls, plates, washers, statues, bottles, pen holders, water containers, fingers and so on.

The turquoise green glazed porcelain of this period has a very moist glaze and a thin glaze layer.

But the effect is very good, so as long as it is turquoise green glazed porcelain, it is considered a treasure.

In addition, it can be seen from the shape of the vessel that the porcelain with turquoise green glaze is generally small.

These small utensils usually appear in the hands of the emperor and let him play with them himself.

Therefore, this kind of porcelain for the real emperor's daily use is more precious than other porcelains.

Of course, things monopolized by the court are naturally treasures, so there must not be many folk rumors.

And it is definitely impossible to collect a porcelain collection with turquoise green glaze, so I can only make some!
This kind of thing happened so often, now Chen Wenzhe doesn't even think about it, just do it!
