My system is not decent

Chapter 1175
If you want the precious ancient official kiln porcelain, but you can't buy it, then do it, why hesitate?
It's just that it has been fired before, so Chen Wenzhe knows very well that the turquoise green glaze is a low-temperature monochrome glaze that is fired twice with copper as the colorant.

This is a low-temperature colored glaze with copper as the colorant. The firing temperature is low, and copper is used to develop the color, which is too friendly to Chen Wenzhe.

Chen Wenzhe already has a high degree of confidence in the firing temperature for the coloring of copper elements.

Although he can't say what color he wants, he can control the burning, which is almost the same.

Instead, what he is most concerned about now is to mix some crafts, that is, to softly fire turquoise green glaze and pastel together.

In fact, the appearance of turquoise green glaze is really not an unexpected accident.

As we all know, turquoise green glaze is one of the colored glaze varieties created and fired by the Royal Kiln Factory during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a kind of imitation stone glaze porcelain that imitates turquoise.

Since ancient times, turquoise has been a favorite gemstone for Chinese people.

Its color is green with blue or yellow, exuding a charming and noble atmosphere.

However, turquoise is a gem after all, a non-renewable resource.

Emperor Yongzheng had always been frugal, and he chose porcelain without hesitation between porcelain and precious stones.

Under the emperor's instruction and the efforts of the craftsmen of Jingzhen Royal Kiln Factory, a glaze color consistent with the color of turquoise was successfully fired, which is called turquoise green glaze.

Turquoise green glaze is a low-temperature single-color glaze that is fired twice with copper as the colorant. Please note that it is clearly defined as a low-temperature glaze here.

Modern people have fired turquoise green glaze with high-temperature oil, which is definitely more advantageous than low-temperature glaze, but now that Chen Wenzhe is doing antique craftsmanship, naturally he will not pay attention to turquoise green glaze with high-temperature glaze.

This kind of low-temperature glaze was continuously developed during the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties. By the Qianlong period, turquoise green glazed porcelain had become very popular.

Although turquoise green glaze is a monochromatic glaze, the firing of Qing Dynasty porcelain is not dogmatic.

On the base color of turquoise green glaze, they will be matched with other glaze colors, patterns or crafts.

This kind of "hybridization" of porcelain not only did not destroy the beauty of turquoise green glaze, but made the sense of nobility and mystery more abundant.

The turquoise green glaze was mainly fired during the Yongzheng and Qianlong years. Although it was fired in Jiaqing and Daoguang after Qianlong, the color of the porcelain body was slightly inferior to that of the previous generation. The overall color of the turquoise green glaze after Jiaqing was darker.

It can be said that after Qianlong, there was no innovation in the history of porcelain, and it was all developed on the basis of the previous dynasty.

But this does not mean that the porcelain behind it is not beautiful or innovative enough.

When Jiaqing went back, there were still a lot of antique porcelain, which can make people feel refreshed.

For example, a treasure that Chen Wenzhe saw was quite famous.

At least it is well-known in the collection circle, and it belongs to the representative works of the Jiaqing period.

It was a small elegant vessel, and it had the characteristics of Qianlong's time. After all, Jiaqing belonged to the son, and Qianlong was the father.

How much will the father's aesthetics affect the son?
This treasure of Jiaqing is also controversial, because many people describe this item of Jiaqing as deviating from the aesthetics of ancient porcelain.

It was a precious turquoise green famille rose dragon bottle from the Jiaqing period, and the whole shape was quite classic and well-behaved.

Why did Chen Wenzhe think of it?It must be because of the dragon vase, and it happened that he was making hybrid porcelain with famille rose and turquoise green glaze.

This is a dragon bottle, and the value of the dragon bottle was well understood by Chen Wenzhe before.

So why describe this piece of porcelain as a dragon bottle?Because there is a dragon on it, a red chilong.

Many people describe it as indecent because of this dragon.

Pink, this is Jiaqing's aesthetics.

In addition to this point, whether it is the shape, the glaze color of the utensils, or the production of pastels, they have reached the top level of official kilns.

In particular, there is a characteristic of Qianlong, but this dragon is not elegant enough, but it has a sense of fun.

Is this innovation?If you take a closer look, its composition and antique charm are still very strong.

Looking at it as a whole, this turquoise green treasure is not simple, it belongs to the royal treasure, and of course ordinary people have no chance to own it.

This treasure is in the form of colored painting, and then it is composed of entwined passion flower patterns and jade chime patterns.

Of course, this kind of implication is still the same, implying auspicious celebrations again and again.

When the entire shoulder goes down, there is actually a kind of carmine red dragon attached to it, which is entrenched in the changing position of the bottle body, with a sense of creativity of a new product.

From Emperor Jiaqing's point of view, he still put in a lot of effort. He added some ideas of his own to Qianlong's bottle.

The whole dragon belongs to looking up, its shape is quite accurate, and it is quite beautiful.

But this interesting work has been complained by many collectors.

However, if you don't complain about this dragon, then look at the turquoise green glaze of this treasure, it is still very beautiful.

Its glaze color is uniform and thick, and it also has the foundation of the Qianlong period. The seriousness of the craftsman reflects its extraordinary.

Although there is a dragon coiled on it, all of this is in line with the aesthetics of the time, so it is a really good treasure.

As for the term "elegant" and "inelegant", good-looking is enough, and aesthetics vary from person to person.

This piece of porcelain can be said to have met all the requirements of Chen Wenzhe for making porcelain in the recent stage.

And when he finished making this very creative and beautiful piece of porcelain, Chen Wenzhe began to calm down again.

If he thinks freely and creates freely like this, many porcelains need to be made, so there are too many porcelains and crafts to design.

Therefore, he is still returning to the right path now, earnestly firing a piece of famille rose porcelain.

In fact, the turquoise green in the low-temperature glaze is not difficult to fire, so Chen Wenzhe still pays more attention to the more difficult to fire high-quality pastel porcelain.

We modern people have come into contact with pastel porcelain a lot. Many colorful porcelains look very beautiful, but they are usually pastel instead of multicolored.

The characteristics of pastels are beautiful, beautiful and colorful!

Of course, it is not colorful, because it has too many advantages compared to colorful.

It's just that it's more difficult to make pastels.

Especially at the beginning of creation, pastels are rarely used.

In desperation, we can only use five colors, and only a small part of them are pastels.

Pastel was first created in Kangxi and flourished in Yongzheng.

In the late Kangxi period, based on the production of enamel colored porcelain, Jingzhen Kiln began to fire pastel colored porcelain, but the production was relatively rough.

At that time, pastel was only used to dye the flowers of safflower, and other decorations were still made of five colors.

Pastel porcelain is another kind of colored porcelain created by the Qing court besides enamel.

It is to apply arsenic-containing foundation on the fired tire glaze, paint it and wash it away with a pen, and the color will produce a pulverization effect due to the emulsion effect of arsenic.
