My system is not decent

Chapter 1255 Magnificent sunset

Whether it is bucket color porcelain, enamel color, or even colored porcelain made of bucket color and enamel color, it is very troublesome to imitate.

Therefore, after imitating several pieces, Chen Wenzhe decisively started to make some simpler porcelains.

Like multicolored and pastel, it is faster to make.

It's just that during the Yongzheng period, five colors were not popular.

The famille rose, which was created in the late Kangxi period and succeeded in the Yongzheng period, is a new achievement of Qing Dynasty porcelain.

The appearance of pastels has changed the performance of colorants.

It enables porcelain painters to use rendering techniques to draw pictures that are more accurate, realistic, and richer in color than multicolored.

Therefore, famille rose is known as the magnificent sunset among traditional colored porcelain in my country.

Pastel also flourished in Yongzheng's character of striving for perfection.

Compared with the simple and plain monochromatic glaze, the characteristics of Emperor Yongzheng are more obvious on the magnificent pastel porcelain.

This point can be seen from a large pot of Yongzheng pastel eight-faced landscape figures consecrated.

This large pot is in the shape of an octagon, and the mouth and borders are decorated with brocade patterns. It is magnificent and solemn, with eight sides consecrated. The theme decoration comes from the stories of historical figures.

The drawn image is lifelike, the decoration is rich, the color is bright, and the visual effect is excellent.

Yongzheng famille rose reached the pinnacle in the history of famille rose, as can be seen from this big pot.

From the top of this big pot, you can also see Yongzheng pastels, which has a major breakthrough in color.

Among them, the biggest achievement is the widespread use of blue color on glaze, thus ending the tradition that blue and white must be used to express blue and white.

This also results in better color coordination and smoother, easier drawing.

In addition to the huge size of this pot, it is extremely rare among the large Yongzheng famille roses that can be painted so exquisitely.

Also, unlike the splendor and stacking of other periods, the colored porcelain patterns of the Yongzheng period are obviously restrained.

The human landscape, flowers and birds painted on the body of the vessel all have obvious characteristics of shrinking and gathering.

The strokes of the decorative painting are also more slender.

This makes the pictures on the porcelain surface more compact and patchwork, full of three-dimensional effect.

It can be said that the pastel porcelain of the Yongzheng period has achieved extremely high achievements in terms of shape, glaze, and color painting.

The color of colored porcelain is also relatively elegant, soft and not bright, with elements in the color.

Mainly white ground painting, there are also various color ground paintings, such as coral red, light green, sauce ground and ink ground.

Some small utensils such as plates and bowls are exquisitely carved, and around the colorful decorations, a circle of colorful "color halos" can often be seen when viewed from the side.

The decorative themes of Yongzheng pastel porcelain are mainly flowers and birds, landscapes, and figures, especially flowers.

It absorbs the "boneless" technique in traditional Chinese painting, highlighting the yin and yang to the back, alternating shades, clear layers, and full of three-dimensional effects.

There are not many such good porcelains in the world, so the price is naturally high.

For example, Qing Yongzheng, a rectangular flower pot with pink celadon glaze and string pattern, which is a masterpiece of six-character seal script, with a historical transaction price of 1645 million Hong Kong dollars.

There is also a five-petal melon edge vase imitating the official kiln in the Yongzheng period, which is also a six-character seal script, and the transaction price was 685 million Hong Kong dollars.

You must know that this is an ordinary imitation official kiln, and this kind of porcelain, which is not very colorful, can be sold for more than six million.

Some other simple utensils, such as the Yongzheng Doucai Xishang eyebrow pattern covered bowl, is a pair of covered bowls, with double circles, three lines and six characters in regular script. The transaction price reached HK$437.
There are quite a few bowls like this, for example, there is also a bowl with a flower-patterned bucket color, which is not a tureen bowl, and is in six-character regular script with double circles, which also sold for HK$162.

If the decoration is a little better, like Yongzheng's doucai porcelain, the price will be high.

Even for cups, the price is not low. For example, a pair of Sanduo pattern cups, double-circle six-character regular script, the transaction price reached 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

Porcelain like this is not very common in the market, but there are still quite a few in museums.

Of course, the amount here is relative.

Compared with the [-] billion people in the country, the number of dozens or even hundreds of Yongzheng official kilns is too small.

There are still a lot of famille roses, blue and white flowers, bucket colors, and ink colors in the collection. If Chen Wenzhe copied all of them, he would not have to do other things for a year.

Therefore, he can only choose high-quality imitations.

Because the porcelain of Yongzheng period, as long as there are surviving objects, each piece is the pinnacle of porcelain in the past dynasties.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe made a little more of this batch of porcelain.

Of course, what he makes are all classics, such as the Yongzheng blue and white Fu Lu Shou flat bottle and the Yongzheng blue and white "crossing flowers and swimming dragon" picture plate among the blue and white wares.

Doucai ware is made the most, because Yongzheng Doucai is really good.

Compared with Ming Chenghua Doucai, Yongzheng Doucai has made progress in decoration layout, color matching and color filling technology.

Whether it is the color or the pattern, it is more delicate than before, the color is thinner, and the tone is very soft and elegant.

On this basis, enamel color and gold color were introduced, forming a new craft of bucket color plus gold color, bucket color plus enamel color.

In addition to the original red, yellow, green, purple, and ochre, Doucai porcelain also adds a variety of colors such as pink, rouge, lotus root, rose, and lake green, making it more beautiful and delicate.

Yongzheng Doucai with flowers and birds as the decorative theme, blue and white underglaze lines, and various colors painted on the glaze.

The works of this kind of craft are all filled with accurate color, and there is no sideline.

And the pursuit of color changes, in a flower, filled with various colors such as purple, red, yellow, green and blue, and the production process is quite mature.

For example, Yongzheng Doucai cloud dragon pattern celestial ball vase, Yongzheng Doucai consecrated folded branch lotus pattern cover jar, Yongzheng Doucai flower pattern candlestick, Yongzheng Doucai plus famille rose cloud dragon pattern amphora, etc., are among the fine works.

It needs to be mentioned here that when making famille rose, Chen Wenzhe specially made a Yongzheng famille rose Bogutu embroidered pier.

This piece of utensil is quite special, and Chen Wenzhe has never made it before, so he made it first.

Yongzheng famille rose was very prosperous, and naturally there are many good works.

For example, the pastel pheasant and peony plate in the Yongzheng period are also very famous.

The decoration of this piece is more in line with Chen Wenzhe's current plan, the peony pattern inside.

A famille rose plate with a pheasant and peony pattern, the inner bottom of the plate is painted with a pheasant and peony pattern, lined with travertine, magnolia, and chrysanthemum patterns.

The decoration style of this plate is close to the famille rose porcelain of the Kangxi period in the Qing Dynasty.

In particular, the consecration of a week of brocade at the edge of the mouth, and the decoration method full of patterns in the center of the plate, are very common in the famille rose wares of the Kangxi period.

It can be inferred from this that this utensil should be the early work of Yongzheng.

Pheasant, peony, travertine, etc. are used in the decoration, implying "auspiciousness and wealth" and "longevity and wealth".

This kind of decoration method of borrowing meaning was very popular in Qing Dynasty porcelain.

And why is it popular?Isn't the effect made more beautiful?

The meaning is good, and it is more beautiful, so naturally we need to do more.
