My system is not decent

Chapter 1261
The firing of enamel colored porcelain was strictly controlled by the imperial court, making enamel colored porcelain the most precious porcelain variety in the Qing Dynasty.

Christie's Hong Kong has set up a separate auction for the "Kangxi Enamel Chiba Lotus Bowl", solemnly presenting this extremely rare and pinnacle work.

After fierce bidding, it was finally sold at HK$8720 million.

So what kind of style does this enamel colored porcelain bowl have?
About 61 years of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial carmine ground enamel bowl with Qianye lotus pattern was born. It has a diameter of 11 cm.

Experts from the Porcelain Department of Christie’s said that this hard-to-find Qing Dynasty enamel colored bowl reveals "the artistic creativity of the integration of the East and the West"!
The first encounter with this enamel Chiba lotus bowl made him extremely excited and unforgettable.

The colors on the bowl are so vivid and beautiful, it is a feast for the senses that sparks excitement.

This bowl was once collected by Zhang Zongxian, a legendary celebrity in my country's porcelain collection circle and a famous art collector!
The blue material book box at the bottom of the bowl reads "made by Emperor Kangxi", which shows that this bowl was made during the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

So why is this Kangxi enamel Qianye lotus bowl so expensive?

The painted enamel on the porcelain body is the most distinctive among the porcelains owned by the royal family in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the most exquisite colored porcelain among the overglaze colored porcelains.

Delicate and elegant porcelain, giving full play to its elegance and elegance.

It epitomizes the charm of Zephyr and depicts the nobility and glory of royal status.

The status of Kangxi enamel colored porcelain is also very high in the history of Chinese porcelain.

Porcelain body painting enamel can be said to be the pinnacle of the combination of technology and art.

The combination of painting and porcelain art is the first time in our country.

The Kangxi Dynasty was the creation and firing dynasty of enamel colored porcelain. It made innovations in enamel pigments and porcelain body painting, which has far-reaching significance.

According to the working documents of the Qing Palace Production Office, enamel colored porcelain has been valued by the emperor since its production and firing, and the production level has been continuously improved.

Therefore, enamel colored porcelain is a kind of court art developed under the vigorous promotion of the emperor, so it created a new height of porcelain body color painting.

The patterns on enamel colored porcelain are more vivid, three-dimensional and picturesque, representing the highest level of craftsmanship and aesthetics at that time.

Most of the enamel and colored porcelain handed down are hidden in the Qing palace, only owned by the emperor, and rarely spread outside the palace.

It was not until the opening of the Forbidden City in the early years of the Republic of China that the outside world was able to glimpse the true colors of enamel, which immediately became the object of appreciation for collectors.

Up to now, the major auction houses have recorded 442 pieces of enamel painting in history, with a total turnover of more than 7 million yuan and an average price of more than 167 million yuan.

According to market feedback, the most expensive enamel colored porcelain is white glaze, because the enamel color looks more beautiful on a white background.

Enamel coloring is an overglaze decoration technique that transplants enamel painting techniques onto porcelain bodies.

Its official name is "painted enamel on porcelain body", and later it was called "Gu Yuexuan" and "Rose Color" abroad.

The reason why enamel porcelain has such a huge investment value is mainly related to its existence.

At first, the Qing Palace collected about 400 pieces of enamel colored porcelain from the Kang, Yong, and Qian Dynasties.

Among them, the Wanwan Palace Museum currently has more than 300 pieces, and the Shendu Palace Museum has 40 pieces.

And other enamel colored porcelain scattered in museums and private hands around the world should have been scattered from the palace in the late Qing Dynasty, or taken away from the Old Summer Palace by the British and French allied forces.

There are only about 60 pieces in circulation in all markets.

This also makes enamel colored porcelain become the "darling" of the collection industry for a long time.

A large number of imitations followed, some of which were still copied in the late Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, as a late imitator, the most important thing is to clearly understand its origin before doing it.

Of course, the most important thing is technology, especially painting skills!

The flowers are dewy, bright and slender, the butterflies have downy hairs, and their necks stand up, absolutely!
This is the picture above the enamel color, and every picture on it is a masterpiece.

This kind of craftsmanship is a unique skill and unique skill.

This is also something that can't be helped. The emperor pays attention to it, so he can naturally find a master to make it.

In addition, almost all the emperors, empresses and members of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty were good at calligraphy and painting.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened the "Ruyi Pavilion" to cultivate talents of calligraphy and painting, and the art of calligraphy and painting has also become the family heirloom of the royal family members.

For hundreds of years, it has formed a unique style of elegance, grace and luxury.

The best calligraphy belongs to Yongzheng, whose calligraphy is elegant and subtle.

Yongzheng's calligraphy followed his father's path of Dong Qichang's smoothness and beauty.

His calligraphy is elegant, powerful and magnificent, with the spirit of the emperor wanting to surpass the majestic.

In terms of personal artistic accomplishment and appreciation taste, Yongzheng is very prominent among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.

Yongzheng was good at regular script, running script, cursive script, and list script, among which cursive script had the highest achievement.

In Yongzheng's works, the brushwork is centered, the strokes are steady and smooth, the structure is clean, the bones are delicate, and the calligraphy is graceful and elegant, giving people a sense of rhythm and rhythm.

With these cultural backgrounds, all kinds of artworks in the Yongzheng period are perfect.

Although the Yongzheng dynasty lasted only thirteen years, the treasures left by Yongzheng are even more thrilling, and we can't enjoy them endlessly.

His enamel, pastel and bucket colors are all classics of Chinese porcelain.

The problem is that Yongzheng's blue and white porcelain can also be so perfect and detached.

This is not just a matter of raw materials, but a matter of taste.

His unique artistic appreciation is what makes us talk about it today and admire it, and perfection runs through it all the time!
With these innate factors, it is still necessary to advocate that high imitation can "confuse the real with the fake"?Obviously not!

At the very least, if you are not a top master, that is, you do not have the craftsmanship level of a master, you will definitely not be able to imitate the "fake ones" of Yongzheng enamel.

A real work of art, if it is not supported by cultural background, is "like a gourd painting", even if it is "[-]D" printing, it is difficult to replace these top works of art.

Yongzheng's works of art have achieved the point of "adding one point will make it long, and subtracting one point will make it short".

"Dong Shi imitates" is still Dong Shi, not Xi Shi.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there are countless beauties.

But there is only one Yongzheng, how many have his artistic accomplishment?

You must know that he is an emperor, not just an artist!

The vision of an emperor, the environment in which an emperor lives, and the sentiments cultivated, can ordinary people achieve?
Even Chen Wenzhe didn't dare to say that through studying, he could reach a cultivation level comparable to that of an emperor!

Therefore, Yongzheng's works of art are still a model of world porcelain art.

So, are there any enamel colors of Yongzheng official kilns that have survived to the present?There is no doubt about it!

We all like the official kilns of the "Three Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty", but to distinguish them from the artistic quality, the most artistic one is the Yongzheng official kiln.

Then it is logical to "see Chenghua in the clear and Yongzheng in the clear".
