Dear predecessors, what is the difference between broken branches and bound branches on porcelain? I am very grateful.

Hello, my friend, I am an expert on the website of China Porcelain Library. Let me answer your question.

Twisted branches:

One of the decorative patterns of China traditional porcelain was especially popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Named for its floral pattern, it was called "Zhuanzhi" in the Ming Dynasty. The composition mechanism is that the combination of wavy lines and tangents forms the basic pattern of afterwaves, and flowers are decorated in the tangent space or wavy lines. And pointing to the leaves, it will form a branch-wrapped flower stem pattern or a branch-wrapped flower and fruit pattern. Twisted lotus, twisted chrysanthemum, twisted peony, twisted pomegranate, twisted ganoderma lucidum and twisted flowers are collectively called twisted patterns.

Folded branches:

The composition method is to cut off R branches or some flowers or fruits, which are similar to broken branches or flowers and fruits, commonly known as "broken branches", "broken branches and fruits" or "broken branches and flowers and fruits". Such as ebony, ebony, peony, pomegranate and litchi. In porcelain decorative paintings, broken branches are often used as separate patterns, and there are also broken branches of Hua Niaowen composed of birds. Most of them are single users, and some of them are combined or interwoven continuously.
