My system is not decent

Chapter 1538 The best in history, he really knows how to play
The blue and white five-color porcelain created by Xuande has become a highlight in the history of my country's porcelain development and laid the foundation for the firing of Chenghua Doucai.

According to the "Da Ming Hui Dian", only eight years of Xuande, Jingzhen was given the task of firing 44.35 pieces of dragon and phoenix porcelain at one time. It is conceivable that the firing scale was large during the Xuande period.

At the same time, the successful firing of copper red glaze and other single-color glazes in the Yongle and Xuande years also shows the high technical level of the porcelain industry at that time.

There are also many other famous porcelains from the Xuande period, among which the cricket pot is more famous.

The Xuande blue and white cricket pot is the first official kiln boutique that Chen Wenzhe came into contact with.

Of course, what he was playing at that time was a cricket pot, or a later imitation.

What the emperor plays is famous, because he is very good at playing.

Therefore, the cricket pots in this period should be regarded as the largest in history.

For example, Xuande blue-and-white cricket jar with auspicious animal pattern in Ming Dynasty, Xuande blue-and-white cricket jar with peony pattern in Ming Dynasty, Xuande blue-and-white cricket jar with eagle and goose pattern in Ming Dynasty, Xuande blue-and-white Tingzhou bamboo chicken pattern cricket jar in Ming Dynasty, Xuande blue-and-white Tingzhou mandarin duck pattern cricket jar in Ming Dynasty and so on.

This kind of good porcelain, or more precisely, fun insect wares, there were still many in the Xuande period.

With a little thought, Chen Wenzhe could come up with a lot.

For example, blue and white cherry bird pattern cricket jars, blue and white melon and fruit pattern cricket jars, blue and white kingfisher mandarin duck pattern cricket jars.

Then there are the blue and white Tingzhou egret jars and the blue and white sea monster pattern cricket jars.

There are more other cricket jars with blue and white pine, bamboo and plum patterns, blue and white chilong pattern cricket jars, and blue and white phoenix pattern cricket jars.

Finally, there are blue and white phoenix wearing peony pattern cricket jars, blue and white dragon pattern cricket jars and so on.

These are a complete set, and besides the cricket pot, Emperor Xuande is still very concerned about the bird food pot, he really knows how to play
Like a Xuande blue and white double-linked bird food jar, it is 10.1 cm long, 5.5 cm wide and 5.3 cm high.

Unearthed in the Xuande formation of Mount Zhu in 1984, the jar is bamboo-shaped and hollow, with hibiscus flowers in full bloom molded on both ends, and the petals are painted with green material to make it have obvious layers.

The outer wall is painted with twining flowers, and there are two lines on the abdomen. The blue and white script "Daming Xuande Nianzhi" on the blank part of the jar body has a six-character horizontal inscription.

The tire is exposed along the mouth of this device, and the over-firing process should be adopted.

This is still an ordinary device, with a bit of technical content, that is, various types of devices that have been grounded.

Relatively simple, there is also a representative Ming Dynasty Xuande blue and white chi dragon pattern bird food jar.

This is the shape of blue and white dizi. The body of the jar is flat and round, the bottom is unglazed, and the outer wall is filled with white glaze.
And paint the ground with green material to make the Chilong float on the outer wall. There is a small line on the abdomen, and the blue and white script "Daming Xuande Nianzhi" six-character horizontal section in the blank area along the mouth.

There are quite a few such blue-ground porcelains, among which the classic one is the blue-ground white day lily platter.

This porcelain is based on sapphire blue and painted with white glaze to paint daylilies, flowers and fruits.

White day lilies, flowers and fruits are all carved in detail.

Of course, this time Chen Wenzhe is making yellow-glazed porcelain, so he wants to imitate the yellow-glazed porcelain from the Xuande period.

Large pots with yellow ground glaze and floral patterns are considered ordinary products, because the decoration is not special.

The type of large pot is also very common, and what is worth mentioning is the glaze.

And thinking of such porcelain, it was not uncommon in the Xuande period.

For example, the yellow ground blue and white day lily pattern large plate from the Xuande period, with a diameter of 35.4 cm, a foot diameter of 24.8 cm, and a height of 6.2 cm, is absolutely large.

It has skimming mouth, arc wall, ring foot, brown sand bottom, filling yellow color in white glaze, and then roasting at low temperature.

Hemerocallis, also known as "Yimancao", was a favorite plant in the palace of the Ming Dynasty.

Making a large plate may look simple, but actually making it is not as simple as the world imagines.

Not to mention yellow glaze, even blue and white, as long as the plate is big enough, it is difficult to fire.

Or the Xuande period, when it was very difficult to burn the lotus pattern plate, and the phoenix pattern vase with superb skills, are all classics.

The Xuande blue and white dragon piercing the lotus pattern plate is a work of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, with a diameter of more than 70 cm, a height of 6.8 cm and a foot diameter of 55 cm.

It is much larger than the Xuande Yellow Ground Blue and White Hemerocallis Pattern Plate.

This plate is open, with arc walls and ring feet.

The inside and outside are decorated with blue and white flowers, and the inside bottom is painted with two five-clawed dragons connected head to tail, walking through the lotus branches.

The inner wall is painted with lotus patterns, and there are eight lotus flowers on the branches.

Four five-clawed dragons are painted on the outer wall, running end to end among the lingering ganoderma.

In the next blank space along the mouth, from right to left, the blue and white regular script "Daming Jiajing Year System" six-character horizontal layout is signed.

There is a double rectangular frame of blue and white on the outside, and the inside of the circle is astringent and unglazed.

This dish is huge in shape, and it can be called a giant dish among the imperial kiln porcelain dishes of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the conditions of the level of productivity in the Ming Dynasty, it was very difficult to fire such a large dish with a diameter of more than 70 centimeters.

In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of large dish was mainly seen in Xuande and Jiajing imperial kiln porcelain.

Let's go back to the yellow ground, that is, the yellow colored porcelain.

For example, there is a gourd vase with red ground, yellow color and intertwined branches and lotus pattern. Now there is a Jiajing period handed down.

It is 45.1 cm high, 5 cm in diameter, and 13.4 cm in foot diameter.

The bottle is in the shape of a gourd with ring feet.

The whole body has dark patterns and is decorated with red ground and yellow colors.

From top to bottom, the six-string pattern divides the decoration into five layers.

The mouth is decorated with four broken branches of Ganoderma lucidum, and the upper abdomen and waist of the bottle are decorated with twined lotus patterns, with four lotus flowers on each of them.

There is a pattern of plum blossoms around the waist, and the lower abdomen of the bottle is also decorated with tangled lotus patterns, with six lotus flowers on the top.

On the outsole, there are six-character double-line inscriptions in blue and white regular script "Daming Jiajing Year System", with blue and white double circles around the periphery.

The red ground yellow color is the addition of alum red color to the yellow glaze, so it is also called "Huangshanghong", which is homonymous with "Huangshanghong".

Some people think that this is the meaning of "bless the emperor with good fortune and equal heaven".

The five-color porcelain of the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty changed to the sparse and elegant style of Huacai porcelain, and became complicated and colorful.

This change is closely related to the change of social customs in Ming Dynasty.

This colorful decoration technique vividly depicts the graceful postures of various flowers.

The whole picture is full of festive and auspicious atmosphere, which also reflects the superb porcelain making skills of the porcelain craftsmen at that time.

In fact, not to mention the ancient market, even some modern high-quality market is very rare.

So the manufacturing process of a plate is so complicated?

Let’s not talk about all kinds of domestic porcelain, just talk about some famous brand porcelain abroad, that is, bone china and so on.

As long as they are high-quality goods, only the royal families of various countries are worthy of them!
The reason why Chen Wenzhe knows about fine porcelain abroad is to thank the family who ordered European antique porcelain in South Vietnam last time.

It is because of them that Chen Wenzhe has recently paid attention to some famous foreign porcelains.

There are certain reasons why people can become famous and sell their products so expensively.

Besides, Europeans like gorgeous things, especially the royal families of various countries.

And this kind of aesthetics is just suitable, or it just caters to the aesthetic vision of modern people.
