Chapter 1256

There are so many fine works of famille rose porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, especially from the third Qing Dynasty!

Chen Wenzhe also imitated a few pieces, meaning nothing more.

If you really let go of the imitation, you won't be able to imitate much in those few months.

Therefore, famille rose porcelain was made into a fine piece of Yongzheng period, and the next most famous one should be enamel color, right?

Fortunately, he has done it before, and he has studied this craft thoroughly, otherwise he would really be blinded by suddenly making enamel colored porcelain.

After thinking about it, Chen Wenzhe didn't want to make too much trouble, so he just made a bowl with peony pattern.

And this kind of bowl is also very famous in the Qing palace.

One of the most special ones should be the yellow ground enamel bowl with peony pattern.

This yellow-ground enamel-colored peony-patterned bowl has no decoration on the inside of the bowl, and the yellow-colored ground on the outside of the bowl.

On it, 8 blooming peonies are painted in pink, blue, green, purple, lotus root and other colors.

Inside the blue material color box at the bottom of the bowl is the two-line four-character seal inscription "Kangxi Imperial System" in regular script.

The painting technique of this bowl has changed the rules of copper-bodied enamelware. It is no longer a rigid style, but tends to be vivid and realistic.

Its white and delicate texture, jade-like glaze, bright and bright colors, and exquisite painting skills fully reflect the exquisiteness of the imperial court.

Because this is yellow ground enamel color, yellow glazed porcelain itself is very special to the ancient royal family, let alone this is a special enamel color porcelain made by the court.

Yellow-glazed porcelain is a kind of ceramics, which first appeared in Huainan Shouzhou Kiln in Tang Dynasty, Chuanqionglai Kiln, Nanhe Mi County Xiguan Kiln, Jiaoxian Kiln, Xishan Huangbao Kiln, Xishan Hunyuan Kiln, Beihe Quyang Kiln, among them Shouzhou kiln yellow-glazed porcelain is the most famous.

Yellow glazed porcelain occupies a very important position in ancient ceramic art, because yellow has always been the special color for emperors.

Yellow-glazed porcelain was used in the courts of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was never allowed to be used by the people.

Even in the Jiajing period, when rebellions continued, civilian use was strictly prohibited.

Even if gold color can be used in folk kilns, yellow glazed porcelain cannot be used.

Bright yellow is the color of gold. In the feudal dynasties of our country, starting from the Tang Dynasty, bright yellow was the special color for emperors, and yellow robes were used as the royal clothing of feudal emperors.

The yellow one is the clothes of the emperor, it is a symbol of imperial power.

Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, wore yellow robes as his regular clothes, and Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao changed the yellow robes and added them to his body, which meant he had ascended the throne.

During the Qing Dynasty, the dragon robes, dragon chairs, dragon flags, imperial chariots, feather covers, imperial decrees, and glazed tile covers were all yellow.

Until now, it and red are the main colors that can represent our country.

Although this glaze color is very special, its coloring agent is not so special.

It is a kind of low-temperature glazed porcelain fired in an oxidizing flame atmosphere with an appropriate amount of iron as a coloring agent and lead as a flux.

Most of the low-temperature chrysanthemums before the Ming Dynasty were yellowish-brown or dark yellow, not true yellow.

Among the handed down yellow-glazed porcelain, Xuande products are the earliest.

Most of the handed down utensils are plates, and most of them are daily-use porcelain.

That is to say, yellow-glazed porcelain is generally used as daily porcelain by nobles in the palace.

According to the different identities of this kind of utensils, the utensils used are also a little different.

Generally, yellow-glazed wares are painted with yellow moss inside and out, the glaze color is delicate, the glaze surface is fat and moist, and there are no grains on the whole body.

The Huangzi in the period of Hongzhi and Zhengde reached the highest level in history.

At this time, the color of the utensils is uniform, the glaze is smooth and traceless, the color is moist and tender, and the gloss is good, just like chicken fat, which is really yellow.

Because the glaze is directly poured on the white glazed porcelain or the plain body when the glaze is applied, the glaze layer is not easy to peel off, so it is called "pouring yellow".

Because of its lighter tone, it looks delicate and charming, also known as "Jiaohuang".

In the late Ming Dynasty, yellow-glazed porcelain stopped firing for a while, and it was not resumed until the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.

The Huangzi porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties was mainly based on the Huangzi porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, and mainly imitated Xuande and Hongzhi yellow glazed porcelain.

The yellow-glazed porcelain of this period applied various decorative techniques such as dark engraving, scratching, printing, and carving, as well as glaze painting, to yellow-glazed porcelain.

This not only enriches the variety of yellow-glazed porcelain, but also embodies innovative colors, changing the appearance of the previous single-color yellow-glazed porcelain with "plain face facing the sky", forming another peak in the development history of yellow-glazed porcelain.

The high-quality porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty was mostly official kiln porcelain represented by Guangxu yellow-glazed porcelain used by the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Now Chen Wenzhe is imitating the fine works of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, among which the most exquisite ones must be enamel colors, especially Qianlong enamel colors and pastels.

The yellow ground has the most enamel colors, because such decorations can best represent the nobility of the royal family.

Therefore, this is another large-scale classification of official kilns, and it is also a representative work among official kilns.

According to different historical periods, yellow glazed porcelain is divided into two types: high temperature glaze and low temperature glaze!

In the Qing Dynasty, glass white was added to the fired yellow glaze, and the color was brighter and whiter than that of the Ming Dynasty, without the delicate feeling of the Ming Dynasty.

The firing method is not too difficult. One is to apply yellow glaze directly on the biscuit and then fire it, and the other is to apply yellow glaze to the fired one.

When it comes to yellow glaze, we must mention the Ming Dynasty, because the pure yellow glaze on porcelain began in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It did not appear in the Ming Dynasty, but the yellow glaze of the village Zheng appeared in the Yongle period.

After that, it was fired in all dynasties, and it was a special porcelain for the court.

The yellow-glazed porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is truly extraordinary. Its firing history and achievements can be divided into three periods: the early Ming Dynasty, the middle Ming Dynasty, and the late Ming Dynasty.

In ancient times, the real yellow-glazed porcelain was relatively difficult to burn, mainly because of the technical difficulties.

At that time, yellow porcelain was very difficult to fire and the process was complicated, usually four times into the furnace.

One is plain firing; the other is glaze (white) firing; the third is glaze (yellow) firing; the fourth is gold firing.

For the ancients, it is easy to make mistakes because of the many times of firing and complicated craftsmanship, so there is a saying that nine out of ten kilns fail.

Secondly, the temperature is not well controlled, and without modern tools, it is more difficult to form this kind of yellow porcelain.

Because the yellow glaze needs to decompose at 800 degrees, and the yellow porcelain can only be made into porcelain at a high temperature of 1450 degrees, which is a difficult problem.

Even if it is fired well and becomes porcelain, it is difficult to fire it perfectly in terms of porcelain quality.

Ceramics are usually distinguished by their firing temperature.

From the lowest temperature low-temperature pottery, to medium-temperature fine pottery, stoneware, high-temperature white porcelain, reinforced porcelain, high-temperature fine white porcelain, jade porcelain, etc., they are all fired at different temperatures.

The yellow porcelain is fired at a high temperature of 1450 degrees, so the jade is as precious as fat.

Unlike the low-temperature yellow-glazed porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, the process of firing yellow-glazed porcelain is more complicated.

For example, making porcelain requires 72 processes, large and small.

Among them, mud, mud making, grouting, billet making, trimming, sticking yellow glaze, pasting golden decal paper, etc., if anything goes wrong, a piece of porcelain will be scrapped.

Even if it is burned, it needs to be identified as good or bad.

A kiln of porcelain, after firing, not all of them can produce good results.

Especially the porcelain in the firewood kiln, due to the uneven temperature inside the kiln, it tends to burn out a lot.
