Bionic teapot and traditional teapot

China's purple sand pottery has a long history, and famous artists in the past dynasties have created a dazzling array of pots. Due to the admiration of scholars in past dynasties, the value of teapot is increasing day by day. In the early Qing Dynasty, the teapot made in Chen Mingyuan was "as expensive as a swan", even surpassing pearls and jadeite.

Chen Mingyuan (1622- 1735) was born in Yixing. Hu Yin was a famous Yixing purple sand artist in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. He is a famous craftsman, who has made great achievements in pot art and fine products for hundreds of years. He came from a purple sand family and made dozens of tea sets, all of which were exquisite.

Recently, Guangzhou Xunlong was lucky enough to collect a bionic pot from Chen Mingyuan:

This bionic pot takes the stump as the bionic form, which is lifelike and natural. The shape of the tree runs through from top to bottom and is lifelike. The stump varies in thickness and is irregular from top to bottom. Coupled with the appearance of scars, cracks and bark, the stump is very vivid. The spout and handle of the pot are branches, curved and straight. Put them away and put them away. Bottom seal, made in Chen Mingyuan. On the front, there are two monkeys climbing the stump. A monkey was ecstatic when he saw the peach and wanted to pick it. The button of the pot is a big monkey with a peach in his hand, and his expression is vivid. At the same time, the pot decoration is particularly vivid. This pot has exquisite workmanship, distinct layers, exquisite craftsmanship and high collection value.

Flower products are designed as bionic pictographic teapots, which are decorated with relief, semi-relief and round carving in the natural form of natural animals and plants. Chen Mingyuan enjoys a long-standing reputation in history, and enjoys the praise of "Gong Zhongyan said that the pot is a big pot, and overseas strives for distant vegetables", and is known as the outstanding master of purple sand flower goods in history. Flower goods not only meet people's daily needs, but also have high appreciation and collection value.

Light goods, mainly based on the three elements of point, line and surface, are designed and made into various geometric three-dimensional tea sets such as cylinders, spheres, cuboids and cubes. Although purple sand light goods have no gorgeous appearance, they tell their unique modeling language with simple natural form and simple and bright lines, which makes them have elegant and refined artistic charm and unique cultural style.

This bionic pot from Chen Mingyuan is now hidden in the art of finding dragons. Welcome Tibetan friends to visit and enjoy. Interested collectors can learn more through Xunlong Art Network!
