Since the flower gu from the Shunzhi period can be imitated, and the imitation is very good, then what about the Kangxi ones? What about the Yongzheng ones? What about the Qianlong ones?
It would be amazing if all the classic porcelain shapes from the Qing Dynasty, the period when porcelain production was at its peak, could be imitated.
This not only involves porcelain production, but also involves history, culture, etc., all-round heritage.
"You can make another replica of the flower goblet from the Kangxi period and I'll take a look."
Realizing that Zhang Gu had real potential, Chen Wenzhe simply stopped and concentrated on coaching Zhang Gu.
Zhang Gu was very excited at this time. His previous accumulation, coupled with Chen Wenzhe's recent guidance, made him seem to have been reborn and improved greatly.
He had never made flower goblets during the Kangxi period, but he knew how to make them because he had previously specialized in the porcelain of the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. He was not only good at making flower goblets!
The flower goblet is like a modern water cup, it just makes his waist thinner and his mouth bigger.
No, the size of the mouth is a factor that distinguishes flower arrangers.
Flower arranging ware is porcelain specially used for arranging flowers. This kind of thing seems to be an indispensable thing in ancient times, especially in the boudoir!
With the right materials, how difficult is it to make a flower goblet?
So soon a Kangxi blue and white figure vase took shape.
The flower cup varieties of this period were also one of the more common varieties at that time.
Mainly because of its ancient, dignified and simple shape.
Others, such as fine porcelain clay, dense porcelain, and thick carcass, are all easy to achieve.
Of course, special attention needs to be paid to one of these points, because the porcelain of the Kangxi period was the largest porcelain of any dynasty in the Qing Dynasty.
There are also some other aspects that are different, such as the smooth and delicate glaze, the tight bonding of the body glaze, and the tight and shiny feeling.
The mouth of the Kangxi porcelain was coated with powdery white glaze, and the color of the glaze inside the vessel was basically the same as the glaze surface of the vessel. This is also an important feature of this period.
The material used for blue and white is represented by the green "emerald orchid".
The five colors are red, yellow, purple, green, blue, black, etc. Blue and white are rarely used.
The paintings on the gulets of this period were mostly landscapes and figures.
The opening of the mouth rim is also very special. The angle is increased by nearly 90゜. There are many decorative stripes or double blue circles on the mouth rim and bottom edge. The middle part of the vessel is obviously raised, dividing the painted content into three parts: upper, middle and lower. .
When making the Kangxi flower goblet, Zhang Gu moved quickly and was sure of every detail.
It can also be seen from this that Zhang Gu was well prepared.
At the very least, he must have done a lot of research on the flower goblets of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise he would not have been able to imitate them so well in one go.
"Can you make a flower goblet from the Qianlong period?" Chen Wenzhe looked at Zhang Gu.
He made the flower goblets as a last-minute idea. If he hadn't thought of the flower goblets in Dream of Red Mansions, how would he have made this kind of porcelain?
But this kind of porcelain made by Chen Wenzhe on the spur of the moment, Zhang Gu actually made it look like it. This is his real strength.
Since even Kangxi's flower vases were made, Chen Wenzhe didn't mind taking a look at Qianlong's.
"I can make three-color underglaze, but if it's a cloisonné enamel flower goblet, I can't do it." Zhang Gu said a little shyly.
Chen Wenzhe was speechless. He knew how to make filigree enamel, but even he had never done it before.
I didn't expect that Zhang Gu was really powerful. If he didn't know the flower gu of the past dynasties very well, he really wouldn't be able to say this.
Because Chen Wenzhe knows only a few types of flower gobs from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
One is a yellow glass product, which is a yellow glass vase.
The other thing he said is the Qianlong underglaze three-color flower goblet and the Qianlong cloisonné enamel goblet.
During Qianlong's reign, no matter what kind of porcelain was produced, it was very powerful.
It can also be said that its technology tree is really wrong. If it was higher than the military industry, how would the Qing Dynasty be destroyed?
Maybe the current Five Smoke Alliance will disappear, and I, the Qing Dynasty, will rule the world!
"The blue and white material chosen is good, the shape of the vessel is right, the porcelain body is also very good, and the rolling technology used is very good, especially the pastel rolled porcelain made by pastel rolling technology, it is very beautiful!"
Watching Zhang Gu making porcelain made the knowledgeable Chen Wenzhe feel a little happy.
When making antique porcelain, there are many details that need to be paid attention to.
For example, what kind of glaze to use, what kind of hair color effect is achieved, what the porcelain body looks like, what process is used to complete it, etc.
Let’s talk about the blue and white materials from the Qianlong period. The blue and white materials from that period were already made from materials from Guangdong and Guangxi.
The color tone of this kind of blue and white material is stable, calm and thick.
The appearance of the flower goblets during the Qianlong period was exactly the opposite of the Kangxi flower goblets.
During the Qianlong period, the opening angle of the flower goblet decreased, the bulge in the middle was enlarged, and the opening angle of the bottom was increased. The entire shape of the vessel appeared well-proportioned and steady, with a raised decorative line in the middle.
The porcelain bodies of this period were generally "not as strong as those of Kangxi and not as fine as those of Yongzheng."
However, the porcelain has standardized shapes, fine glaze, beautiful paintings and high quality.
Unfortunately, the artistic style is not as good as the previous two dynasties, and it has shown a declining trend.
However, it is not without its advantages. The most important thing is that it uses the "rolling track technology" and has been carried forward.
Although it is only a rudimentary craft and is rarely used, the porcelain produced by this method is really magnificent.
Only this kind of porcelain, placed in a daughter's country like the Red Mansion, can show off the grandeur, right?
Looking at the colorful and golden threads on it, Chen Wenzhe felt a little dazed.
He really didn't expect that Zhang Gu's skills were so strong.
Of course, he can also do this kind of craft, and it is much better than Zhang Gu. After all, he is well-informed.
The bottle he got from Wu Er's shop had this kind of craftsmanship on it, and it was the top-notch icing on the cake.
This kind of craftsmanship is also called "palladium flower" and "icing on the cake". Its characteristics are obvious, that is, it is rich, majestic and grand.
This porcelain rolling process appeared very early, even in the late Yuan Dynasty.
The porcelain unearthed in recent years shows that during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial kilns also had mature firing techniques.
It was once lost in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but was restored in the Yongzheng imperial kiln in the Qing Dynasty and flourished in the Qianlong period.
So what is the rolling process? This process is to use a tool shaped like an embroidery needle to draw out phoenix tail-shaped patterns as thin as a millimeter on the porcelain-colored ground, like a brocade pattern, and draw flower patterns on the rolling ground.
Eucalyptus has the artistic effect of painted enamel on a copper body.
Everyone should know the artistic effect of the copper-tied franc, which is bright, colorful, and ultimately filled with wealth!
When it comes to Zha Dao craftsmanship and pastel Zha Dao porcelain, many people may not have much impression.
But when it comes to copper-bodied enamelware, everyone's first impression is that it is colorful and rich!
The enamelware of the Qing Dynasty was the most glorious period in its development history.
During this period, there were various types of enamels, they were well made, and the types of enamels were rich and diverse.
Its decorative style is unprecedentedly rich, making enamelware a very important category among the royal utensils of the palace.
