Characteristics of underglaze colored porcelain

Under-glaze multicolored porcelain is an ideal colored porcelain with high porcelain strength and strong vitrification of Hunan red porcelain glaze, which can protect decoration from external wear and prevent and reduce lead poisoning in pigments. At that time, Xinhua company, which was a combination of government and business, also took this as a lesson and fired a batch of underglaze porcelain. The pen container in the picture is the product at that time. Not only is the porcelain bright, but it is also a beautiful landscape painting with winding peaks and lakes and mountains. Fishing from the cabin in the forest and fish sails, the mountains and rivers set each other off, giving people a sense of noise and tranquility. Since then, the underglaze multicolor technology has spread and many kiln factories have also fired it. There is a cock-shaped bottle, which was fired in 34 years of the Republic of China (1943). Until the early liberation, this kind of porcelain was still being fired, and its origin was not limited to Liling, Hunan. Because of the different firing temperatures and atmospheres of various underglaze pigments, it is extremely difficult to fire successfully. At that time, the quantity of firing was not much, and it is rare to collect fine products in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China today. Underglaze porcelain is a fine classification of underglaze porcelain. Compared with the glazed porcelain in the past, it has three characteristics: bright color, crystal clear and moist, and never fading. It appeared relatively late, which should be produced after the middle and late Qing Dynasty and the introduction of modern technology into China. During the Xuan Tong period, Hunan Porcelain Company in Liling, Hunan Province once fired this underglaze porcelain for the court and won the gold medal at the World Expo.
