It's not good to do it too quickly. Once you're done, you won't know what to do.
It is impossible to be idle and keep doing things without wanting to make dishes.
Fortunately, Chen Wenzhe now has some experience in making imitations. As long as he is confident, he is not afraid of wasting raw materials and failing in firing.
There are 18 types of Ru kiln porcelain that have been handed down from generation to generation.
From the statistical data,
There are 18 types of existing Ru porcelain vessels, including paper mallet vases, bile-style vases, and jade pot spring vases.
Bowls include lotus-shaped bowls and skimmed bowls, and plates include flower-shaped bowls, shallow-belly bowls and deep-belly bowls.
Washing types include flat-bottom washing, circle-foot washing, oval washing and three-foot washing.
There are flat-bottomed dishes and ring-footed dishes, as well as daily utensils such as narcissus basins, three-legged bottles, flower-mouthed lamp holders and round-mouthed lamp holders.
Now that the technology has matured, it is natural to do something difficult.
Among the eighteen categories, the more difficult ones are bottles.
Inside, there are flower pouches and flower inserts that are similar to flower goblets.
Chen Wenzhe glanced at Zhang Gu,
In the end, the goal of imitation was to imitate Ru kiln flower pouches first.
It turns out that Zhang Gu specializes in making vases, and I guess he can also make flower pouches!
This kind of thing is definitely indispensable in the daughter country of Honglou, but I don't know if Zhang Gu can be the flower bag of other dynasties.
In "A Dream of Red Mansions" there is another person who is shrewd, capable, scheming and decisive, even Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng give her some credit. This person is Tanchun.
In Tanchun's room, there are also Ru Ci's footprints.
The book records, “On the other side of the large rosewood marble table is a large Ru kiln flower pouch, with a bag full of white chrysanthemums filled with crystal balls.”
What is a flower pouch? A flower pouch is not a sachet that the ancients hung around their waist. It is also a flower arrangement device used by the ancients.
This kind of porcelain has a larger belly and diameter than a vase, with a closed mouth and multiple round holes, making it easy to insert soft and large flowers.
Water can be stored in the flower pouch. I would like to see the Ru kiln flower pouch in the spring room. It should be very delicate. It is hidden deep in the boudoir, and the white chrysanthemums are blooming proudly.
It is full of life and shows the taste of the owner.
in addition,
Ru kiln porcelain generally does not have large vessels. The fact that there is a large Ru porcelain in the Tanchun House shows its value.
The flower pouch is a type of flower vessel in ancient my country. It was already in existence when porcelain was developed and matured in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
"History of Vase" by Yuan Hongdao of the Ming Dynasty: "In general, vegetarian vases should be short and small, copperware such as flower goblets, bronze goblets, Zunli, Fanghan kettles, plain warm kettles, plaque kettles, and kiln ware such as paper mallets, goosenecks, and eggplants.
Bags, flower bottles, flower pouches, yarrow, and cattails must all be short and small in shape before they can be included in the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, they are no different from the incense in the family hall. Even though they are old, they are still grains."
This is also a kind of bottle-like vessel used for flower arrangement. It is spherical in shape and also has other shapes such as plum blossom tube shape.
This kind of porcelain has several small round holes on the top and a porous body with decorative patterns, and flowers can be placed in the middle.
Compared with the flower cup, what does the porcelain flower capsule look like?
There is really no unified standard for vessel shape.
The shapes of porcelain flower pouches are not uniform, but have many shapes.
Generally, the flower pouch is a spherical or oblate spherical vase with a large mouth, a pedestal flower pouch, a circle-foot flower pouch, a three-legged flower pouch, etc.
The shape of the porcelain is not uniform, it may depend on the craftsman's preference and the popular shape of the porcelain at that time, but these porcelains are all called flower bags.
The overall shape of the porcelain flower sac is short, with a thick neck and short belly, making it easy to insert more flowers, practical and elegant.
Compared with flower goblets, the shapes of flower pouches are much more varied. It can be said that there are all kinds of flowers, and they have been imitated in all dynasties.
Flower pouch porcelain should be a continuation of the development of flower arrangements in the Song Dynasty.
Porcelain flower pouches began to appear in the Ming Dynasty, and they had wide mouths to hold bunches of flowers, unlike those in the Song Dynasty who held them one by one.
Gao Lian of the Ming Dynasty recorded the porcelain flower pouches of Ding kiln in his "Eight Notes of Zunsheng". The favorite elegant things of the late Ming literati were incense making, flower arrangement and collecting antiques. It can be seen that flower pouch porcelain existed in the Ming Dynasty.
Flower pouch porcelain in the Qing Dynasty began in the Kangxi period, but the firing of flower pouch porcelain was recorded in writing only in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.
There are many records in "Qing Palace Construction Office Work Clearance Files". For example, on May 26, the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, among the dozens of antique glaze utensils handed over by the eunuchs Liu Xiwen, Wang Taiping, and Wang Changgui, there was one "imitation holly kiln"
flower sac";
On April 14, the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, doctor Haiwang took out a bronze flower pouch and ordered him to use the same pattern of lathe wood and make soft ridges out of the hard ridges at the mouth of the top plate.
Do it after viewing.
The flower pouches made in Jingzhen, the porcelain capital, began in the Yongzheng period. They come in various sizes, with a flat mouth, a narrow neck, a flat belly, and a circle foot. There are three or more holes on the top surface for flower arrangement. Its shape is similar to the flower arrangement in the Ming Dynasty.
Its imitations include imitation official glaze, imitation Ge glaze, blue and white, pink blue glaze, Lujun glaze and other varieties.
Another type of organ has a mouth, a flat abdomen, a circle foot, a three-circle system on the shoulder, and a protruding chrysanthemum pattern on the lower part of the abdomen.
During the Qianlong period, the shape of the vessel evolved from the circle-foot style during the Yongzheng period to the three-breasted style with exposed fetus.
There are sky blue glaze, imitation Ru glaze and other products, and there were also imitations during the Republic of China.
So, don’t look at it as just a simple flower goblet. If you want to imitate it, there are quite a lot of types, at least enough for Chen Wenzhe to imitate for several days.
This time Chen Wenzhe plans to imitate everything from the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, to the famous imitation Ru kiln, to the imitation Ru kiln of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Gu also has a lot to do. He does not make celadon. Compared with Chen Wenzhe, the imitation wares are similar in shape, but the glaze used is different.
The top ones are imitation official glaze, imitation Ge glaze, and imitation Jun glaze, while the slightly inferior ones are imitation blue and white glaze, pink celadon glaze, etc.
As for the shape of the vessel, Zhang Gu followed Chen Wenzhe's example. After finishing, the only difference was the glaze.
Of course, the decoration on it, such as engraving, printing, etc., can also be optional.
The most important thing about this kind of antique porcelain is the characteristics of each dynasty. As long as the imitation is correct, there will be no problem.
After a long time, I made a lot of flower pouches. After all, this is also a flower arrangement device. Although there are more varieties of pots, it is a bit fatter than the flower gob.
If you know how to make flower gobs, it will not be difficult to make flower pouches.
After he had done everything he could think of, Chen Wenzhe stopped.
"Boss, why don't you make some more flower arrangements?" It was obvious that Zhang Gu was still unsatisfied.
"Okay!" Chen Wenzhe agreed immediately.
He had already thought of this, because among the Red Mansions, there were the most depictions of daughters, and of course various flower arrangements were indispensable.
Since there are flower gobs and flower pouches in the Red Mansion, naturally there will be no shortage of flower arrangements.
The porcelain produced by Ruguan Kiln is almost all practical ware.
And flower arranging utensils were definitely an indispensable utensil in ancient times, especially in noble families.
Now that I have made flower goblets and flower pouches, I will definitely make a batch of flower arrangements. Maybe in this way I can even make a set of them and sell them for more money!
Both are flower arrangers, but there are differences between flower arranging devices and flower pouches.
Most of the flower arrangements are small-diameter, relatively fine-diameter, and there are also three-hole, five-hole, and six-hole ones.
The flower pouch has a single diameter, and the mouth is relatively large and wide, with a diameter of more than 6cm. It can place many flowers, which is similar to the way modern people arrange flowers;
