Famous Ceramics ●White Pottery White Pottery Two-Lined Pot, Da Wenkou Culture, Neolithic Period

White Pottery is a leap from pottery to porcelain. "White pottery" refers to a kind of pottery in which both the surface and the inside of the vessel tire are white, and the embryo of the vessel is mostly kneaded by hand, using china clay or kaolin clay, which has a lower iron content than clay, and is fired at a temperature of about 1,000°C. In the late Shang Dynasty (BCE), the white pottery was produced in the late Shang Dynasty (BCE). The creation and use of engraved white pottery in the late Shang Dynasty (13th to 11th centuries BC) was a new achievement in the history of the development of Chinese pottery making. The hardness, refractoriness and water absorption rate of white pottery have been substantially improved compared with previous pottery, so we say that white pottery is a leap from pottery to porcelain.

White pottery became the exclusive possession of the slave-owning aristocracy because of its hardness, cleanliness and exquisite workmanship. In the late Shang Dynasty, the production process of white pottery became more delicate and complicated, so the best white pottery was concentrated in this period. After the Western Zhou Dynasty, due to the rise of printed hard pottery and primitive porcelain, white pottery gradually disappeared.

Fancy Fish Pot

●Fancy Pottery

The so-called "Fancy Pottery" refers to the use of hematite powder and manganese oxide as pigments, the use of tools similar to brushes to draw a variety of designs on the surface of the billet, and then into the kiln through the fire, in the orange-red background color, showing black, red, white and other colors of pottery. Painted pottery is one of the mainstays of Chinese Neolithic primitive arts and crafts.

The Yangshao culture, formed 7,000 years ago, is one of the longest and most powerful Neolithic cultures in China (about 10,000 to 5,000 years ago). The Yangshao culture's colored pottery craftsmanship reached a considerable degree of perfection and is a model of China's primitive colored pottery craftsmanship. Black Pottery Two-system Jar, Neolithic Longshan Culture

●Black Pottery

Black pottery is a black ceramic vessel formed by adding water slowly from the top of the kiln during the last stage of the firing of the vessel, so that the charcoal is extinguished to produce a thick smoke, and intentionally letting the smoke blacken it. It is after the colored pottery, China's Neolithic era (about 10,000 to 5,000 years ago) pottery craft appeared another peak, can be said to be the ancient Chinese pottery craft with the colored pottery comparable to another glorious creative achievements.

Black pottery appeared in the late Neolithic period in the Dawenkou culture, Longshan culture, Qujialing culture and Liangzhu culture and other sites. The firing temperature of black pottery reaches about 1000 degrees Celsius, and there are three kinds of black pottery: fine mud, mud and sand, among which the production level of fine mud and thin-walled black pottery is the highest, and it has the reputation of being "black as lacquer and thin as paper".

● Tang Sancai

Tang Sancai is a kind of pottery prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, with yellow, brown and green as the basic glaze colors, and later people customarily referred to this kind of pottery as "Tang Sancai". Tang Sancai is a kind of low-temperature glaze pottery, adding different metal oxides into the color glaze, after baking, it will form a variety of colors such as light yellow, ochre yellow, light green, dark green, sky blue, maroon, aubergine and so on, but most of them are dominated by the colors of yellow, brown and green. The color glaze of Tang Sancai has the effect of changing intensity and lightness, infiltrating each other and dappling. In the color of each other, showing the artistic charm of the rich and magnificent. Tang three-color used for burial, as Ming ware, because of its tire brittle, waterproof performance is poor, the practicality is far less than the celadon and white porcelain has appeared at that time. Tang Three-color objects are rounded and full in form, which is consistent with the plump, robust and expansive features of Tang Dynasty art. It is a wide variety of objects, mainly figures, animals and daily life utensils. The proportions of the three-color figures and animals are moderate, the forms are natural, and the lines are smooth and lively. In the figure figurines, warrior muscular, angry eyes, sword drawn; female figurines are high bun wide sleeves, pavilion standing jade, leisurely and elegant, very full. Animals to horses and camels are more.

Tang Sancai's places of origin, Xi'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou is the link between the ancient silk road on land and sea. On the ancient Silk Road, transportation in the Tang Dynasty was mainly camels. As you can imagine, people and camels had a sense of intimacy as they trekked hard and depended on each other in the desert. Its tall form and resolute weight-bearing look seems to carry the dust of the miles of the ancient Silk Road.

Tang Sancai is the essence of the pottery of the Tang Dynasty, which reached its peak in the early Tang Dynasty and the Sheng Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, with the gradual weakening of the Tang Dynasty, due to the rapid development of porcelain, three-color production gradually declined. Later produced "Liao three color", "gold three color", but in quantity, quality and artistry, are far less than the Tang three color.

Tang Sancai as early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty was exported abroad, loved by foreign people. This multi-colored glaze pottery with its variegated glaze, bright luster, beautiful and exquisite modeling is known in the world, the Tang Three-color is an ancient Chinese pottery in a bright pearl.

●Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain

Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) is an important period in the history of the development of Chinese blue and white porcelain firing technology. This period in the previous generation "underglaze color" and other techniques on the basis of gradually established, perfected the blue and white porcelain firing technology, and formed its own unique style. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911 AD), blue and white porcelain has developed into the main products of Chinese porcelain.

Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain in the shape of the heavy tire bone, the shape of the huge features. The common shapes include large vases, large jars, large bowls, large plates, etc. This kind of modeling inherited the traditional style since the Tang and Song dynasties (7th to 14th centuries A.D.). Due to the poor spinning technology at that time, there are often two interfaces on the body of the vessel, and generally there are more spinning patterns inside the large jars. Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain tires, in the panning technology is not as meticulous as the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368 ~ 1911 AD), can be seen in the sandy bottom of the sand eyes, brush marks and other stains, the bottom of the foot and shrinking the glaze often show a flint red spot. Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain glaze is generally slightly thicker than the Ming and Qing dynasties, white glaze ground son of the degree of flashing green is also heavier than the Ming and Qing, may be at that time the glaze is thicker and glaze contains more iron.

In the production process, the yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain foot up and down more bamboo-like raised string pattern, the body and the foot of the joint position, more use of tire joint. In the decoration, yuan blue and white generally more decorative lotus petal pattern, the shoulders of the object painted with hanging clouds, the middle part of the theme filled with a variety of flowers, pattern dense, more layers. This dense decorative techniques, not only in the blue and white porcelain, but also in the Yuan dynasty brocade and stone carving process, becoming a unique style at that time.

The main production area of Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain is Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province in central China. There were also kilns firing blue and white porcelain in Zhejiang Province in eastern China and Yunnan Province in southwestern China.

Vegetarian three-color sea toad pattern three-footed wash ● Vegetarian three-color

Three-color porcelain is one of the varieties of porcelain glaze color, is based on yellow, green and purple porcelain, in fact, is not limited to this three-color, but do not use red. Its production method is in the high temperature firing of plain porcelain tires filled with colored glaze in the pattern has been carved, and then by low temperature firing. Because there is no red color in the color, so the name "plain three colors".

This variety of creation burned in the Ming dynasty Chenghua dynasty. But it and the Chenghua doucai a feint, not only not dry Ming and Qing literature, early also not see the special discussion. From the current information, jingdezhen three-color firing when the Ming dynasty Chenghua products for the early, Zhengde when the best, its glaze bright green fat fat, color material is fine and moist, color and color is rich and thick, decorative spontaneity and natural, Ming generation, very prominent. Qing dynasty kangxi dynasty of vegetarian three-color ware extremely prestigious, on the chenghua, zhengde two dynasties of three-color porcelain and jiajing, wanli color ground overlap process has inherited, also fired into the glaze blue ground vegetarian three-color and ink ground vegetarian three-color. In addition also invented in the plain tire incised decorative wheel line, painted with drawings, painted with glaze, the process is new and different, rich and varied, simple and elegant, yellow ground, purple ground, beige ground, tiger skin glaze, etc. repeatedly alternated, unpredictable and quite ingenious.

The difference between the Ming and Qing dynasty plain three-color is: Ming dynasty three-color porcelain high-temperature firing tire before the need to paint decorations in the place of dark carving decorations and do not paint glaze, and the rest of the glaze coated with high-temperature firing out of the white ceramics in the unglazed place of painted decorations, low-temperature firing into a second time; and the Qing dynasty plain three-color is generally the first carving of dark lines, the whole ware cover white glaze high temperature firing into the painted decorations after low-temperature re-firing. In addition, the Kangxi there are a small number of works in the high-temperature firing of good plain white tires (some first carved dark lines) coated with low-temperature and back to the color, and then low-temperature firing, because it is a low-temperature glaze for the ground, the white glaze is very thin, tooth-yellow, no high-temperature glaze is fat and moist like the effect of jade.

In addition, and five color fighting color, the Qing dynasty, the vegetarian three-color color is much richer than the Ming dynasty, appearing on the glaze blue, water green, light yellow and other colors, color, but decorative elegant, sparse, clean, even if decorative dense, but also the layout of the right, the edge of the ornaments, painting fine, and compared to the Ming dynasty, there is a world of difference. Vegetarian three-color ware in kang, yong before more, after the dynasty less burned, the late qing dynasty republic of china more imitation, the end can not be comparable with the real thing. Compared with the five-color porcelain, vegetarian three-color porcelain slightly less red, but craftsmanship, color with quiet and elegant, not losing the rich and beautiful state, but also more mature and stable gas.

●Underglaze color

Underglaze color is a kind of porcelain glaze decoration. Also known as "kiln color". Underglaze color is a major means of decorating ceramics, is the use of color pigments in the molded and dried billet (i.e., semi-finished products) painted on a variety of decorations, and then covered with white transparent glaze or other light-colored glaze, into the kiln at high temperatures (1200-1400 ° C) into a firing. After firing, the pattern is covered by a transparent glaze film underneath, and the surface is bright and soft, smooth and not protruding, appearing crystal clear.

● Pastel porcelain

Pastel porcelain created in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a kind of glaze color invented on the basis of Kangxi five-color porcelain, influenced by the enamel production process. Because of its light and soft tone has the beauty of powder, it is called "pastel". The main raw materials and coloring methods of pastel are foreign. Production, in the burnt plain porcelain with glass white base, with Chinese painting techniques to color material painting patterns, and then baked by the fire.

The Kangxi period of pastel products are very few, painting is also simple, the pattern of flowers and dragons mainly. Yongzheng, pastel porcelain has been a great development, products thin and translucent, glaze white as jade, painting exquisite, thin and powerful lines, extremely fine. Pastel absorbed all kinds of painting techniques, so that the object to be depicted, whether figures, landscapes, flowers, birds and insects appear to be strong texture, light and dark clear, distinct, three-dimensional. In addition to plates and bowls, there are also cups, saucers, jars, altars, vases, goblets and pots. The designs are mostly of flowers and butterflies, and peonies, moonflowers, begonias, and seasonal flowers are also very common, as well as bats and deer.

The pastel colors of the Qianlong period, there is a clear change. Often painted on white porcelain with a color ground, such as green, yellow, blue, carmine red, purple, etc., at this time the pastel has not been able to compare with the Yongzheng fine, glistening, bright. Jiaqing, Daoguang pastel, in addition to the inheritance of the tradition of predecessors, not much development. At that time, the glaze is thicker, more colorful.

Hamfeng, Tongzhi pastel picture complex, but painting is simple, color material is rough, the glaze layer is thin, lighter tone, in order to make the color gorgeous, often in the pastel and then depicted on the gold color. These are the basis for identification.

Pastel, also known as "soft color", is a variety of glaze color. The so-called glaze color, that is, in the burnt plainware glaze on the color, and then into the kiln by 600 degrees Celsius - 900 degrees Celsius temperature baking and become. China's traditional overglaze, to the Qing dynasty in the fifty-second year of the Kangxi (1713), the official kiln craftsmen in the enamel inspiration and influence, the introduction of copper enamel opaque white color material, in the process of drawing on the enamel color of the multi-color scale of the preparation technology, created a "pastel" overglaze new varieties. This white color material, according to the relevant research institute analysis, is a kind of milky white glass containing arsenic. It is a natural mineral called "white letter stone" or "arsenic", with lead frit, potassium nitrate and other fluxes made in Jingdezhen, commonly known as "glass white". Due to the fusion of glass white and colorful materials, so that a variety of colored "powder". Red color into pink, green color into light green, yellow color into light yellow, other colors have become opaque light tones, and can control the amount of its addition of more or less to obtain a series of different shades of shades of color, giving a person a sense of powder and softness, it is said that this glaze for the "pastel", and the Kangxi hard color (five-color), also known as the "soft color". Before the invention of pastel, China's colored porcelain is a single line of flat paint, the flowers lack of three-dimensional sense. Since the invention of glass white, painting on porcelain, the first part of the required decoration in a layer of glass white, as powder on paper, and then rendered in the powder on the various colors of pigment. With this method of painting figures, birds and flowers, landscapes, etc., there are dark and light, shade and yin and yang to the back of the points, increasing the level and three-dimensional sense, thus forming a light, fine, fill color and wash, firing and other process steps.

The late Kangxi pastel due to the initial creation, raw materials rely on imports, painting is relatively simple, heirloom artifacts are extremely rare. Yongzheng six years (1782), the raw materials needed for pastel has been able to produce their own, pastel technology has also become more mature, sometimes a piece of artifacts on the color of up to more than 20 kinds. Pastel replaced the status of five-color, jumped to the top of the list of glaze painting. Not only the official kiln products to pastel as the main decoration, but also widely used in the kiln. To the Qianlong period, pastel porcelain firing more into the golden age. The gradual elaboration of pastel, not only can be free and smooth with all the colors, at the same time can be delicate expression of imagery. Its expression is known as the Qing dynasty official kilns in the typical representative of the main production products in Jingdezhen. In the early part of the Jiaqing dynasty, famille rose basically retained the legacy of the Qianlong dynasty, but it was far inferior to the Qianlong era. To the Daoguang, Xianfeng dynasty, has declined, although the number of pastel porcelain, but varieties, modeling has been greatly reduced, and superior quality products on less. Tongzhi, Guangxu two dynasties, due to the whole society in turmoil and decay, in addition to a small number of official kiln pastel ware, jingdezhen porcelain industry has no special bead exquisite pastel works.

The Qing dynasty pastel ware mainly in the form of pots, bottles, bottles, jars, pots, plates, wash, tanks, boxes and so on. The Qianlong period, the shape of porcelain than the Yongzheng period is more varied, distinctive furnishings are endless. Qing dynasty famille rose varieties of decoration in addition to white glaze ground famille rose and color ground famille rose. Jing dynasty pastel varieties of decoration in addition to white glaze pastel and color ground pastel, there are underglaze blue or faceted upper and lower parts of the color ground, the abdomen for the white ground or color ground open light pastel. Painting patterns are mostly based on the theme of dragons and phoenixes, flowers, landscapes, figures, stories, etc., and based on the paintings of famous painters of the time, compatible with Western painting techniques. Common flowers include moonflower, peony, magnolia, rose, chrysanthemum, begonia and so on. Qing Dynasty pastel porcelain dating style is generally 6 words: "Qing Dynasty so-and-so year system", or 4 words "so-and-so year system" word mark. Character type: Shunzhi, Kangxi prevailed in regular script, Yongzheng regular script in more than seal script, Qianlong popular seal script, and to the Jiaqing after the main regular script. The format has a single circle, double circles, no circle bar, bilateral square, bilateral rectangular, the mainstream of the blue and white book mark, the latter part of the Qianlong period more red characters.

According to records, the Qing dynasty jingdezhen imperial kiln factory production of linglong porcelain has a high level, but the production is very small, only for court use.

After the establishment of new China, especially since the reform and opening up, jingdezhen blue and white linglong porcelain production process has been a huge innovation, it is more and more wide in the decoration of the porcelain type, more and more decorative subjects, decorative parts have been up a lot of changes, the creation of the green linglong blue and white, color linglong and other high-quality products, so that the traditional famous porcelain more lively and elegant, interesting.

●Cyanese porcelain

Cyanese porcelain is the traditional porcelain of China. The ancients said: "five-color is too gorgeous, especially fresh gas, while the blue and white is more colorful and elegant." Although the single color of blue and white porcelain, but does not seem to feel monotonous. In painting porcelain artist's brush, thick and thin, thick and thin; or deliberately seek to work, layered; or just a few strokes, all make people feel the beauty of unspeakable.

Blue porcelain has a long history, according to archaeologists found that the Tang Dynasty, Henan Province, Gongxian kiln on the original blue and white production. By the Yuan Dynasty, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province was able to produce exquisitely decorated products.

Ming dynasty blue and white porcelain in the yuan dynasty based on more brilliant, whether it is the official kiln in jingdezhen, or around the folk kiln, there is no shortage of exquisite work. Especially Yongle, Xuande and Chenghua, Jiajing and Wanli dynasty official kilns fired blue and white porcelain, with its fine glaze, green color, colorful, diverse shapes, richly decorated and famous in the world.

To the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong three generations of emperors are very fond of porcelain, and often put forward on the texture, the picture of the improvement of the views, but also to improve the Jingdezhen porcelain workers work and living environment, so that the production of blue and white porcelain has reached an unprecedented height. This period of blue and white porcelain color green and bright, fresh and bright, clear levels, especially blue like sapphire as bright and vivid, crystalline and glossy. However, in the late Qianlong period, the craftsmanship of blue and white porcelain is declining.

The extraordinary blue and white porcelain was welcomed by enthusiasts all over the world. In the early years through the ancient road "Silk Road", one after another exported to countries along the Mediterranean Sea. Ming Dynasty navigator Zheng He seven times to the West, and with a large number of blue and white porcelain throughout Vietnam and the Malay Peninsula in more than 30 countries. To date, Southeast Asian countries collected pieces of blue and white porcelain can not be discarded, with gold it will be inlaid, hidden in the treasure trove.

From this we can see how much charm of blue and white porcelain.

Each dynasty of blue and white porcelain in the blue and white color, porcelain, pattern pattern, etc. have their different times. Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is generally heavier, brightly colored, complex composition, the use of multi-layer decoration, when the green material is imported. Patterns with figures and stories, fish and algae pattern, entwined flowers mostly, especially the leaves in the drawing of the gourd shape.

Ming Dynasty Yongle, Xuande is the golden age of China's blue and white porcelain production. The use of imported blue and white material Suma Liqing, the color is deep and richly layered. The glaze is white with green, and the composition is more sparse than that of the Yuan Dynasty, with the pattern of melons and fruits, entwined branches, and bunched lotus as the most common.

Chenghua from the use of equal green material, color and elegance, at that time very few thick, large device product production. The glaze is fat and moist, stroking the jade texture. Ware outside the bottom of the bottom glaze often have uneven wave pattern. Patterns common patterns are cloud dragon, flying phoenix, group dragon, group of flowers, baby play and so on.

Chengde, Jiajing from the West to use back to the green material, color and lustre. Jiajing emperor respected Taoism, pattern pattern to cloud crane, gossip, eight immortals, etc. for more.

Kangxi blue and white material using Zhejiang, bright green color, one of the important features of the Kangxi blue and white levels, and fingerprints. Artifacts to small pieces of daily-use porcelain and stationery-based. Patterns to dragons, phoenixes, twining lotus, landscape, flowers mostly. Kiln pattern is also colorful, a large number of whole picture, such as the age of three friends, Mi Fu worship stone, etc., but also the West Wing, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and other stories. The late Ming and early Qing dynasty blue and white porcelain exports, for the development of Kangxi blue and white porcelain to create favorable conditions.

Yongzheng blue and white color quiet and elegant, but some of the blue and white have halo phenomenon. In addition to the pattern of lotus, dragons, dragons and phoenixes, the elegant flowers, flowers, bamboo and stone, three fruits, birds and flowers are more common.

Early Qianlong blue and white products are difficult to distinguish from the Yongzheng dynasty. After the middle of the period, it is more green and bright without a sense of halo. In addition to bowls and plates, they also produced seal boxes, water pots, brush holders, pen plugs and other types of stationery. In addition to the traditional cloud dragon, cloud phoenix, tangled lotus, the pattern of string of lotus, three fruits, baby play, pine and crane, bamboo and stone is common. At that time, in addition to the white blue and white, but also prevalent bean green blue and blue, yellow blue and blue, blue and blue, imitation of brother glaze blue and blue.

To the Jiaqing dynasty, the quality of blue and white porcelain has declined, but at that time the best blue and white porcelain is still similar to the Qianlong, blue and white color material is lighter.

Guangxu in the early years of a large number of official kiln porcelain, so that the decline of blue and white porcelain appears to be vigorous. At that time, the blue and white porcelain to imitate the previous dynasty more, pattern decoration to eight auspicious, dragon and phoenix, longevity, jade hall rich, group fairy wish life, happiness and fortune for. In the late Guangxu period due to the frequent wars, so that the recovery of the official kiln blue and white porcelain production and a stumble.

● color glaze porcelain

People known as [artificial gems] color glaze porcelain, rich, brilliant. But [a thousand kilns hard to get a treasure], [inch gold kiln burning inch gold porcelain]. Now using new scientific methods of ingredients and control of kiln temperature, not only improve the quality of the color glaze, find out a variety of different firing conditions suitable for the formula, but also created such as red wick glaze, ruby red, Jing red, manganese red, iron red, flame red, titanium yellow, titanium flowers, green, green Lang kiln, mango, color, such as violet, more than 100 kinds of color and a variety of non-glossy color glaze.

After that, we have successfully developed high temperature color glazes such as feather flower glaze, phoenix clothes glaze, rain flower glaze, hitech color changing glaze and rainbow glaze.

The value of color glaze is not only in itself, more valuable for the development of ceramic art to create more beautiful material, promote the color glaze color, color, color glaze porcelain carving and other forms of ceramic decorative arts and categories of breeding newborn.

Color glaze porcelain, also known as color glaze porcelain, is relying on the glaze color changes to decorate the porcelain. Usually in the glaze to adjust the content of various trace elements, you can achieve the purpose of changing the glaze color, such as copper red, cobalt blue, iron black, lead green and so on.

Generally speaking, we will color glaze is divided into the following categories, such as green glaze, sauce glaze, black glaze, white glaze, yellow glaze, green glaze, green and white glaze and so on. In fact, each color can be subdivided, such as green glaze can be divided into bean green, powder green, sky green, plum green and so on nearly 20 kinds of. It should be noted that the division of color glaze is not based on the naked eye to determine the color of the glaze, for example, some of the Song dynasty fujian kiln green and white glaze, intuitively looks white, but because of the proportion of the various trace elements contained in it, decided that he still belongs to the green and white glaze. Kiln change glaze and crystalline glaze color should be included in the color glaze porcelain range.

Simply glaze color to decorate the porcelain is actually quite difficult, but the good color glaze is precisely to its simple, beautiful, timeless and famous in the world. Such as the sung dynasty ru kiln celestial green glaze, official kiln powder green glaze, longquan kiln plum green and so on. Chinese ceramic artists in the Song Dynasty porcelain achievement is still unmatched, and the Song is mainly a variety of color glaze porcelain. In addition to the factors of technology, more importantly, or simply color glazed ware in line with traditional Chinese cultural concepts, in line with the Chinese subtle, introverted, refined aesthetic and moral values.

The Kangxi, Yong, Qian dynasty of the Qing dynasty had vigorously imitated various types of monochrome Sung ware, and reached a fairly high level. Some of the newly created color glaze ware is also a very high artistic taste. Qing - Tang Ying "Tao Cheng Chronicle Tablet" records the imperial kiln firing color glaze there are 35 kinds of. Tang Xi's Lang kiln red, which is as red as ox's blood, the glaze is thick and moist. The jar bean red, also known as beauty drunk, characterized by the red glaze scattered with stars of green moss. Yongzheng dynasty imitation of the official glaze, azure glaze, sky blue glaze, glaze color bright and clear, elegant and flashy. Qianlong kilns too much decoration instead of making the art of porcelain into a kind of misunderstanding, excessive exaggeration and rendering reflects the royal family and the country's flamboyant, drifting mentality, which is precisely the starting point of the Qing dynasty empire from prosperity to decline.
