Characteristics of Su Sancai in Qing Dynasty

Traditional plain tricolor

Compared with the products of Ming dynasty, the production of imperial factories in Qing dynasty became more detailed and complicated. In the early Qing dynasty, some plain three-color porcelains were gradually outlined in black, rather than carved lines, and the pictures were much more refined. This change should be the result of summing up and improving the colorful porcelain paintings of Imperial Factory. Therefore, the three-color products in the Qing Dynasty are more diverse, some of which continue the tradition of the Ming Imperial Factory, taking engraving as the dividing line, and some of which do not interfere with other glass patterns and coexist and prosper together. What needs to be mentioned here is that many white glazes in Kangxisu tricolor products show different degrees of yellow tone. It is said that because the firing is not ideal, the white glaze can not achieve the expected ideal effect.

Creative element tricolor

During the Kangxi period, a new type of three pigments appeared in the imperial factory, and the outline was outlined in black. Probably an innovative variety obtained by porcelain makers from the painting style of colorful porcelain at that time. The biggest change of Su Sancai in Qing Dynasty was that craftsmen in imperial factories actively cited emerging famille rose when making traditional Su Sancai and developed a combiner of Su Sancai and famille rose. This kind of utensils even use carmine (that is, the color of meat), which makes the "three colors" even more unworthy of the name.
