Although the imitation Ding kiln of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty imitated the softer carcass of the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty, it was soft but not hard;
In terms of glaze decoration, although the color tone and smoothness are close to those of Song Ding kiln, there are no tear marks or awning phenomena;
In terms of decoration, the carved flowers and prints of Song Ding kiln are imitated, but the patterns have changed.
Plants and birds are often seen on the Song Dynasty wares, while auspicious patterns are often seen on the imitations of the Three Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
The imitation of Ding kiln in the middle and late Qing Dynasty was only seen in Jiaqing and Daoguang periods.
Jiaqing imitation fixed glaze is relatively white, especially the glaze surface has a typical wavy glaze, which is easy to identify.
Daoguang imitation Ding glaze has a white and moist glaze color, which is very different from Song Ding kiln.
It can be said that as official antique porcelain, they still have confidence. They imitate antiques but do not stick to conventions and have their own characteristics.
This is what Chen Wenzhe deserves to learn from, and by the time of the Republic of China, it should have entered the era of contention among a hundred schools of thought.
During the Republic of China, there were many masters of antique porcelain.
Therefore, there were many imitations of Ding kiln during the Republic of China.
The imitations of Ding kiln in the Republic of China mainly imitate Ding kiln bowls and plates, because only bowls and plates have the three characteristics of awn edges, tear marks, and bamboo silk brush patterns.
Documentary records often focus on whether there are tear marks as the key point of identification, but this phenomenon does not exist in Ding kiln with thin glaze.
The so-called bamboo silk brush pattern is only found on the outer walls of round vessels such as dishes, bowls and bottles, and is not obvious. However, it is not suitable for cutters that cannot be formed in one go.
The main purpose of imitating Ding Kiln in the Republic of China was to make huge profits.
It is necessary to imitate the varieties that are not likely to cause controversy. The production of bottles and other utensils is complicated, and there is no mango mouth phenomenon. It is difficult to deceive people who seem to understand but don't understand.
It is a thankless task to make a real imitation, because it is likely that the imitator's hard work will be in vain because the utensil has no edge.
Of course, no matter how good the imitation is, there will always be flaws.
There are two main flaws in the works imitating Ding kiln in the Republic of China.
The first is to paint the mouth with yellow, unlike the light gray of Song Ding kiln;
The second is that there is a small hole in the center of the bottom, but the Song Ding kiln does not.
This time, Chen Wenzhe can be said to have gone over the production of Ding kiln from scratch.
Finally, when he wanted to make it, he must focus on the most precious batch of Ding kiln works.
So Ding kiln is most famous for its white glaze and black glaze. What else is special?
It must be the gold fixer! Chen Wenzhe will definitely not forget this famous porcelain (word) that many laymen know.
The reason why he paid special attention to the gold color craftsmanship before was mainly because the gold fixation device also had the contribution of gold color.
Ding kiln white porcelain in the Song Dynasty was decorated with gold, silver or copper inlays. It was known as "gold-mounted Dingqi" in history, also known as "Mangkou gold-mounted" and "inlaid mouth".
Gold includes gold, silver, copper and other precious metals, not specifically gold.
Gold-painted porcelain is also extremely rare among Ding kilns.
As far as Chen Wenzhe knows, there are three pieces in the Forbidden City collection and several pieces in the neon collection.
This should be the product of the early Ding kiln, the so-called gold-mounted ding ware, or it refers to this type of gold-painted ware.
Jinkou and Yinkou refer to Ding kiln porcelain inlaid with gold and silver.
The Mangkou of Ding porcelain has indeed aroused criticism from the royal family and social consumers.
However, Ding kiln did not change the craftsmanship achieved after untold hardships. Instead, it inlaid gold, silver and copper with mango mouth, once again went to the market and returned to the royal family, which attracted the attention of the royal family.
The glaze is a flaw, but gold-inlaid or silver-inlaid gold fixers can make up for this flaw, and even take these porcelains to a higher level.
If it is white porcelain, simple white porcelain, plus gold, will make this simple and luxurious craft work more conspicuous and brighter.
However, if you want to inlay gold and turn it into a gold fixing device, ordinary fixing kiln devices will definitely not work.
Therefore, no matter what you do, you need to first have a batch of high-quality Ding kiln wares, and then the gold can be used to install the Ding kiln.
However, the reality is not as beautiful as imagined.
Don't think that all modern porcelain is shoddy.
Modern porcelain making technology is still not simple, because the lower limit of modern production of porcelain is very high.
For example, when imitating Ding kiln porcelain, the requirements for going out must be as white as jade, as thin as paper, and as loud as a chime.
So how did such a fixed porcelain come about?
Quyang Ding Kiln is a major porcelain kiln system that emerged after the white porcelain of Xing Kiln in the Tang Dynasty.
Ding kiln was originally a folk kiln, but it began to produce porcelain for the palace in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty.
In modern times, there is naturally no such thing as an official kiln. However, the development of modern porcelain making technology and the available resources are definitely not comparable to those of ancient times. Even many official kilns cannot compare.
Modern people have a high starting point, and there is a very high lower limit for making any kind of fine porcelain.
This is the difference between pursuing quality and pursuing quantity.
To make a beautiful piece of Ding porcelain, you must first start with drawing the blank.
This is a technical job. Using your hands, you turn mud into unique and charming appliance models, which will soon appear in front of you.
With the advancement of technology, the porcelain currently produced in batches is pressed with molds.
After pressing and forming, the semi-finished product is dried in the shade to continue creating.
In order to strive for perfection, each semi-finished product must be carefully repaired.
During this process, each semi-finished product is handled meticulously and carefully.
Ding porcelain is mainly made of white porcelain, which is white and delicate, has a uniform glaze color, is thin and hard, and ranks first among ceramics. It has a great influence at home and abroad.
It is also good at decoration, with free and unrestrained carvings and luxurious and elegant prints.
Supplemented by scratches, decals, decals, etc., each has its own interest.
Therefore, deflowering is an essential task during the production process.
Flower picking is mainly based on flowers, and the picture is rigorous and symmetrical.
Furthermore, scratching and scratching have a key impact on the final product.
Carving uses a single-line or double-line carving knife to carve out the main lines of different depths and shallowness, which contrast with the auxiliary lines. The object image formed is vivid and natural, with a strong three-dimensional sense. This is definitely a delicate job.
Only after doing all this is glazing, which is one of the key techniques.
Any exquisite porcelain is closely related to enamel, which is also an essential process in the porcelain production process.
The last step is firing, using a temperature-controllable electric furnace or gas furnace. Ding porcelain has very high requirements on the firing temperature.
The early kilns witnessed the development of history.
Perhaps it was the discovery of the ruins of Ding Kiln that revealed the detailed firing process of Ding Kiln porcelain inside the Sui Marquis Pearl.
This makes it easier for Chen Wenzhe to study. However, although the value of Ding kiln porcelain is similar to that of Ru kiln, it is not even as famous as Ru kiln.
However, its porcelain making process is much more complicated than that of Ru kiln.
As long as you learn the techniques of firing a custom kiln, you can easily get started by firing porcelain from other famous kilns in the future, just by understanding some unique recipes.
For example, Ru kiln is just a piece of agate glazed, making it famous throughout the ages.
If it weren't for the fact that the glaze was as blue as water or jade, and the glaze color was as blue as the sky, how could it be compared to the Ding kiln simply by comparing the production process?
