My system is not decent

Chapter 1570

Among the porcelain, the pattern of plum blossoms decorated with blue ground and white flowers is called "ice plum pattern" in the ancient ceramics circle.

This is the praise and admiration of Meihua's character of being clear and proud, and not afraid of severe cold.

In ancient times, plum blossoms were regarded as one of the four gentlemen of flowers.

Plum blossoms bloom in the cold winter, and when a hundred flowers bloom in spring, they leave quietly, never competing for beauty.

The noble character of plum blossoms, which are noble, tenacious, and modest, has become the spiritual residence that Chinese literati pursue and yearn for.

Plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum were known as the Four Gentlemen in ancient times. They are auspicious and inspirational decorative patterns that are popular on ancient porcelain decorations, and the plum blossom pattern is even more sought after by the world.

During the Kangxi period, it was very popular to use this so-called "ice plum pattern" pattern with blue ground and white flowers to decorate porcelain.

The Kangxi ice plum pattern uses cobalt material on the blue ground to achieve a special effect of five colors.

In the plum blossom paintings of this period, most of the petals are painted with flower hearts.

This ice plum pattern pot is round and full in shape, small and exquisite, with a thin and hard glaze, and the green material is pure and bright in color.

There are glazed brown eyes on the inner and outer bottoms, and most of the brown eyes go deep into the fetal bone.

The rounded feet at the bottom are irregular and neat, showing a round loach back, and the fetal texture is as fine and white as glutinous rice.

The "Kangxi Year System" is written on the green material at the bottom of the heart, which is completely preserved.

The price of this small ice plum jar is not low.

Therefore, there are many imitations of this Kangxi Bingmei in modern times.

Chen Wenzhe had encountered it before, it was imitated by the little devil, and they imitated quite a lot.

Even many imitation ice plum porcelain produced by devils flowed into the country and were sold as Kangxi ice plum.

Bingmei porcelain is actually blue and white white flower porcelain, and there are many things to distinguish between true and false.

The quality of the fetus, the glaze, the decoration, the shape of the vessel, etc., all need to be carefully identified.

However, some antiques must be paid attention to.

For example, during the Guangxu period, the decorations imitating Kangxi's ice plum decorations could almost resemble the real ones.

But the shape, tire quality and glaze can help you identify.

To put it simply, Bingmei is to use different shades of Zhejiang materials to create colors in the same painting pattern, so that the dark blue, light blue and white have different perspectives on the three-dimensional ice layer, as if the glaze is mixed with ice slag.

Once you have mastered the characteristics, it is not difficult to identify.

This kind of ice plum pattern, also known as "ice cracked plum pattern", was created in the Kangxi Dynasty of Qing Dynasty.

How did it come about?In fact, it is made by imitating the ice crack pattern of the official kiln in Song Dynasty, but it is just a decorative pattern of plum blossoms or branched plums painted on porcelain.

This kind of ice plum porcelain shows ice cracks with irregular short lines.

Jingzhen kiln ice plum patterns are mostly painted in blue and white or multicolored, especially those painted in blue and white are the most stylish, and are mostly decorated on bottles, jars, plates and other utensils.

Kangxi ice plum pattern lid jar is the most typical ice plum pattern work.

The whole body is painted with ice crack pattern with blue and white thick material, and slightly smudged with blue and white light material.

In the meantime, white plum blossoms are drawn, blue and white complement each other, and the plum blossoms are blooming and fragrant, which is quite the charm of literati paintings.

There are also many imitations and paintings on kiln porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

The era characteristics of Kangxi ice plum pattern are very obvious.

Kangxi folk kiln plum patterns are more realistic, with full flower shapes, elegant and unique, and ice plums are delicately outlined, full of changes, and have the highest artistic achievement.

The composition of plum patterns in Yongzheng folk kilns is sparse and clear, with a bold and unconstrained style of painting and a good sense of hierarchy.

The double-line sketching of ice cracks in ice plums in Qianlong folk kilns tends to be regular, lacking in natural changes, and the artistic achievements of the painters are not high.

The compositions of Qingjia and Daomin kilns are full and colorful, while the sparse ones are elegant and delicate.

Xianfeng folk kiln plum patterns tend to be more serious, the painters are not skilled, and the colors lack variation.

There are not many ice plum utensils in Tongzhi folk kilns, but the paintings are better than other flower decorations of the same period, and the plum blossoms are light and elegant.

The lines of plum patterns in Guangxu folk kilns are blunt and lack of change. Although they have layers, they are not smooth.

It can be said that this kind of porcelain has been favored since the Kangxi Dynasty created the burning ice plum pattern.

Therefore, it has been fired in all dynasties, especially the ice plum pattern jar is the most popular.

In Xu Zhiheng's "Yinliuzhai Talking about Porcelain" "Shuo Ping Ju No. [-]" is the ice plum pattern jar, which shows the status of ice plum pattern porcelain at that time.

Good things are naturally liked by everyone.

So what if the quantity is too small?Future generations will definitely not be able to resist imitation.

So is the firing process of ice plum pattern porcelain difficult?
It is not difficult to say, because it is just the use of antique craftsmanship.

The ice plum pattern porcelain is imitating the ice cracks of the Song Dynasty.

However, it is not easy to imitate well.

First of all, the blue and white hair color of Kangxi ice plum pattern porcelain is bright, and the color is like the dark blue sky;
Secondly, Kangxi ice plum pattern porcelain adopts the technique of dividing water with blue and white, which was first created in the Kangxi Dynasty;
In addition, Kangxi ice plum pattern porcelain is made of blue and white blue color all over the body, and the ice cracks are depicted with thick blue and white.

In the blank space, first use a brush to draw the lines of plum blossoms.

Then dip the blue and white material to outline the petals and branches of the plum blossom.

This has a more layered sense, which is a unique phenomenon of ice plum patterns in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

This is the only way to identify Kangxi ice plum pattern porcelain;
In addition, if you want to identify a piece of Kangxi ice plum pattern porcelain, you must pay attention to its glaze.

The glazed surface of Kangxi Bingmei Porcelain is scattered with pinhole-like bristle eyes, which are caused by relatively low firing temperature.

In addition, Kangxi ice plum pattern porcelain has a delicate and white body, which feels like glutinous rice to the touch;

It makes it more difficult to make, and there is also the quality of the fetus. Kangxi Bingmei porcelain is relatively heavy, which shows that the quality of the porcelain body is good;
Therefore, if you want to imitate Kangxi Bingmei porcelain, you must pay attention to the glaze.

Outside the glaze, it is naturally the most important.

However, it is not difficult for Chen Wenzhe to imitate the glazes of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

If there is a Kangxi ice plum jar, it will be easier for him to imitate this kind of porcelain.

With the real thing, he can perfectly replicate the blue and white glaze used by Kangxi Bingmei.

This naturally depends on Li Jinli, as long as he thinks, with his current connections, he should be able to buy a genuine product.

Even if you can't buy one, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow one and let Chen Wenzhe play with it.

Handing over the task to Li Jinli, Chen Wenzhe fell back into the activity of imitating blue and white porcelain.

In order to perfectly imitate a Kangxi ice plum, besides the glaze, the most important thing is the quality and craftsmanship.

Whether it's the ice-cracking technique or the plum blossom decoration, it's easy for Chen Wenzhe to complete.

But the quality of the fetus, just like the glaze, also depends on God's will.

The quality of Kangxi Bingmei Porcelain is really not simple.

The quality of this kind of porcelain must be loose, and the sound must be crisp when knocked.

You can tell whether it is antique porcelain by looking at the dryness of the carcass.

In fact, this is not only the Qing Dynasty, any antique can be identified in this way.

For example, Ding kiln is divided into Nanding and Beiding. The carcass of Beiding must be thick, while that of Nanding is thin.

When shopping for porcelain, it is best to carry a flashlight.

When identifying, do not take photos from the inside to the outside, but from the outside to the inside, and then observe the projection inside the porcelain.
