Among the extant Lang kiln wares, there are Lang kiln green vases made during the Yongzheng period, but the most famous and classic is the green-glazed apple vase from the Kangxi Lang kiln.
This piece is completely similar to the green glaze apple statue of Kangxi Lang Kiln, with a height of 12.6cm, a diameter of 8cm, and a foot diameter of 7.3cm.
It has a regular shape, exquisite workmanship, fine carcass and even thickness.
Transverse tire marks can be seen in the middle and upper part of the inner abdomen, and the exposed tire appears "flint red".
Because this statue is handed down from generation to generation, it has left countless scratches on the glaze.
There are many reasons why this apple statue is a classic.
For example, its circle foot is like the back of a loach, the inner wall is an inner arch, and the inside of the base foot is covered with white and medium-glitter cyan glaze. The low blue and white double circle is evident.
The interior of the vessel is covered with a green and white glaze. The glaze layer is thick and has no flakes. Its glaze color is obviously different from the white flashing green glaze on the base.
There is a circle of obvious pink and white glaze around the edge of the mouth, which is commonly known as "Lamp Edge Grass".
This green-glazed apple statue clearly bears the characteristics of Kangxi porcelain from its carcass, shape, blue and white hair color, and various glaze colors.
Although there are basically no detailed introduction articles about Lang Kiln green porcelain, and many professional experts rarely mention it, Chen Wen may be very clear that there are obvious differences between Kangxi green glaze and Lang Kiln green glaze.
Chen Wenzhe had seen a Kangxi green-glazed snuff bottle in the museum before. The entire bottle was covered with green glaze from the mouth to the foot. The glaze layer was unevenly thick and had many glaze leaks;
The glaze color of this snuff bottle is basically the same as Lang Kiln Green, but there are no fine lines and cracks under the glaze.
Chen Wenzhe likes single-color glazes and has been doing a lot of them recently, so he studies any differences or abnormalities clearly.
This time he imitated the Lang Kiln green glazed porcelain apple statue. What he wanted was exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful work.
So he wanted the characteristics of the Kangxi period, but he didn't want the flaws of that period.
Let’s go back to the apple statue. Judging from the edge of the actual object, its “light edge grass” craftsmanship is still very clever.
It is first hung with white glaze on the rim, then covered with green glaze on the outside, and finally green and white glaze is applied on the inside of the statue, which is completed in multiple glazing steps.
Since the green glazed porcelain of the official kiln was first fired in a specific era, Chen Wenzhe speculated that the "dengbiancao" technique was gradually improved and improved during the firing process to achieve perfection.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe doesn't have to go to such trouble, he can do it in one step.
After achieving this level, Chen Wenzhe felt that he should be almost done with green glazed porcelain.
He has done everything he can think of now.
Looking at the green-glazed porcelain in front of me, there are also many red-glazed porcelains mixed in. These are Langyao red and cowpea red.
While firing Langyao green porcelain, he also fired various types of Langyao red porcelain. After all, not everyone can collect Langyao red porcelain.
When it comes to porcelain collection, Lang Kiln Red and Lang Kiln Green are nothing.
In the world of collecting, when people talk about collecting, what people immediately think of is the five major official kiln porcelains, and the top five must be mentioned.
"Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, Jun" porcelain has long become an important part of porcelain collections.
Among these five famous kilns, it seems that several of them produce green glazed porcelain. The most famous among them is probably Ding kiln, right?
The reason why Chen Wenzhe thought of Ding kiln green glazed porcelain also needs to thank Wu San and others, their so-called custom gift company, for making him deeply impressed by Lv Ding.
Everyone wants porcelain from the five famous kilns, and everyone wants to collect it. Unfortunately, there are not many of them in existence, so there are not many available.
When this kind of porcelain is unavailable, some corporate gift customization companies turn to ceramic companies to start custom-made imitations.
In fact, Wu San did not come to Chen Wenzhe for this kind of thing. Chen Wenzhe and the others had encountered this kind of thing before.
Especially in recent times, as Chen Wenzhe and Yi Niantang have become famous, many people have come to them to customize porcelain.
This is the information that Li Jinli fed back to Chen Wenzhe. It was because of the failure of Yi Niantang that Wu San and the others found Nanyue.
Now the Yi Niantang main store next to the Chenghuang Temple sells some antique porcelain every day, which is the work of the Yi Niantang workshop.
Chen Wenzhe's works are generally not for sale and are displayed at the Yi Niantang main store.
Therefore, his current works are definitely hard to come by for some people.
Especially some guys who come to your door in the name of a gift customization company. They look upright. No, they should be upright. They specialize in customizing high-end gift porcelain. What they want is modern antique porcelain, not old fakes. goods.
Facing such people, Li Jinli always had an even more determined attitude and would not sell anything to them.
But even so, there are still some people who ask for favors to come here, and there is no way to shirk this kind of thing, because some of them are employees of major domestic museums.
Of course, the most popular ones are professional museums that want to be the first to collect such things. They send a large number of people to collect all the products produced by Yi Niantang in the market.
Some of the porcelains produced by Yi Niantang Workshop in the early days were relatively cheap. If you buy them now, they should be regarded as lost.
This time, the five famous kilns "Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun" were specifically mentioned, mainly because the Dahai City Museum came to visit and wanted to customize a batch of Ding kiln porcelain.
Originally, Chen Wenzhe had absolutely no intention of taking action, but now that Lang Kiln Green and Apple Green have been imitated, he couldn't help but think of Ding Kiln.
Ding kiln is a very special kiln entrance. What is so special about it?
Especially the many single-color glazed porcelain he produced are very famous.
For example, Longquan kiln is most famous for Longquan celadon, and Dehua kiln is definitely most famous for white porcelain.
What about Ding kiln? First of all, Ding kiln is a kiln that mainly produces white glaze utensils.
In ancient literature, there are records about the special products of Ding kiln, including "Zi Ding", "Hei Ding" and the so-called "Dingzhou red porcelain".
This is not one kind, but several types. In other words, purple glaze porcelain is made very well by Ding kiln, black glaze is also acceptable, and even red glaze porcelain is made very well by others.
In fact, if you study it carefully, you will find that this is inevitable.
The single-color glaze porcelain produced by Ding kiln is generally the so-called black glaze product that is colored by iron.
It's just that the colors are different due to different formulas, firing temperatures and firing curves.
Of course, when it comes to purple ding and black ding this time, it is definitely not the main reason. The main reason is that in addition to red ding, black ding, purple ding, Ding kiln and green ding.
The green glazed porcelain produced by Ding Kiln is also commonly known as Green Ding.
Chen Wenzhe was the first to come into contact with Hongding, which is the common name for red-glazed porcelain from Ding Kiln.
The green glaze fired in Ding kiln was called "Lv Ding" by "later generations" and was a precious and famous product.
However, in ancient books, there is no record of the firing of green glazed porcelain in Ding kiln.
In other words, there is no record of green-glazed Ding kiln porcelain in ancient documents.
This shows that in the eyes of ancient people, green glaze utensils were not regarded as Ding kiln products.
