It is not difficult to identify porcelain from Ge Kiln and other porcelain that has the phenomenon of foam and beads.
For example, the bubbles are very small and evenly distributed, which can basically be considered an imitation.
Because wood and coal were used to burn kilns in ancient times, the temperature control is not as stable as today's electric kilns.
Therefore, the bubbles cannot be very small and evenly distributed.
For another example, if the edges of the bubbles are clear and the inside of the cheongsam is clean and clear, it may be an imitation.
Because the bubble transparency of ancient ceramics will decrease under the erosion of time.
Since the bubbles are empty inside, the active elements in the glaze will accumulate in the bubbles.
Therefore, the bubbles in ancient ceramics often contain postbiotic substances.
Of course, these can only be used as a reference in the process of imitating Ge Kiln.
There are various reasons why any famous ancient kiln can be passed down to the present.
It is not advisable to simply imitate any feature.
For example, in addition to the well-known characteristics of Ge Kiln porcelain handed down from generation to generation, there are also some small details.
Generally, the body color of the Ge Kiln porcelain passed down from generation to generation is darker, the body texture is firm, and the glaze colors include gray-green, pink-green, beige, etc.
The glaze layer is as thick as a pile of fat, and the glaze surface is as moist as a crisp, and basically has ice crack-like flakes at different angles and sizes.
In ancient times, when the official kiln was fired, there was a kind of opening in it.
But it is not as deep as the opening of Geyao we see today, it is just a kind of opening.
The official kiln porcelain in many museums is exactly the same as the Ge kiln, so some museums will directly classify it as Ge kiln.
The so-called official brother is difficult to distinguish, and this is where the truth lies.
If you want to imitate Ge kiln, you must look at the historical experience of predecessors.
For example, in the Qing Dynasty, Tang Ying, the pottery supervisor, recorded a total of 57 types of antique and innovative porcelain fired by the imperial kiln in the "Records of Ceramics Made in the Thirteenth Year of the Yongzheng Period".
Among them, "Tie Gu Ge's glaze comes in two types: beige, pink and green, both of which imitate the color of old wares."
The glaze colors of the imitations are divided into beige and pink-green, all of which were imitated from the "old wares from within", that is, the Ge kiln collected by the palace at that time.
This is roughly consistent with the glaze color and classification of the Ge kiln handed down today.
From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it is still imitated in modern times.
Moreover, Ge Kiln has many people who like it.
After being copied, it has always been used as a good marketing tool in the market.
The more famous one is the Kangxi Year. During the Kangxi Year, not only official kilns but also private kilns imitated, and a large number of products were imitated by private kilns.
The color of the thread after opening is written in the book and was dyed by later generations.
This may refer to a post-Qing dynasty work, as it is especially a Qing dynasty imitation.
For example, the porcelain clay there has no iron element.
Or add very little iron, very little.
Then it cannot produce the effect of gold wire and iron wire like that of the Song Dynasty, so it will have to be dyed by later generations.
After the creation of the "golden iron wire" in Ge Kiln, later generations continued to imitate the production, but they were never able to completely imitate it.
At first, the porcelain produced by Ge Kiln had a bright glaze with a crispy surface and a rust-red base.
After oxidation, the color of the iron wire turns black and flashes blue, with external diffusion.
However, the two lines of gold wire and iron wire go their own way and have nothing to do with each other.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jingzhen's Ge kiln was mainly imitated, and the porcelain produced by it was white in color.
The glaze surface has a layer of natural air oxidized precious light (called moistening light in academia), which is similar to the glazed light of clear single-color glaze porcelain.
Gold wire and iron wire are intertwined on the same mesh line, and the color of the iron wire also appears black.
This is obviously different from the color of the iron wire on the handed down Ge Kiln porcelain, which is black and flashing blue.
Some utensils are glazed with sauce-colored glaze on the edges and feet, imitating the purple mouth and iron feet of the Ge Kiln handed down from ancient times.
There are also vessels that do not have sauce-colored glaze on the rim and bottom, but there is natural oxidation of patina on the exposed bottom of the vessel (an old feeling).
Modern imitation Ge kiln porcelain has various imitation shapes, glaze openings, and old-fashioned methods.
But compared with the authentic Ge Kiln porcelain handed down from ancient times and the imitation Ge Kiln porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they are very different.
The characteristics of modern imitation Ge Kiln porcelain are more obvious.
First of all, there is a layer of luster on the glaze, which is called firelight in academia.
If it is made old, there will be traces of old work, and the light on the glaze will be unnatural.
There is no crisp luster on the glaze of Ge Kiln porcelain passed down from generation to generation, nor is there the natural air-oxidized Baoguang (called moistening light in academia) on the glaze of imitation Ge Kiln porcelain in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Secondly, modern high imitation products can imitate the mutually irrelevant features of the two mesh patterns of gold wire and iron wire of the handed down Ge Kiln porcelain.
But it is still very different from the gold and iron wire used in Songge kiln porcelain.
The gold and iron wires of Song Ge Kiln porcelain have a natural halo (outward diffusion) like a pen drawing a line on Yi paper.
The gold thread of modern high-imitation Ge Kiln porcelain is like a ballpoint pen drawing a line on Yi paper. It is relatively stiff and does not fade naturally.
Hesitation Brother's kilns are so famous that there have been imitators throughout the ages.
Especially in the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more imitations.
The more famous porcelain is the Qing Dynasty's imitation brother glaze leaf type washer. This porcelain was imitated during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
It is 2.4 cm high, 17.7 cm long and 12.8 cm wide.
It is washed into the shape of a leaf, and the edges of the leaves are rolled up, just like a leaf floating in the wind, which is very dynamic.
The whole body is covered with glaze color imitating the Song Dynasty Ge kiln, and the glaze surface has irregular patterns.
There are six nail marks on the bottom, and the six characters and three lines of "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty" in blue and white seal script are signed.
This wash is unique and cleverly combines the bionic shape with the characteristics of Songge Kiln porcelain.
The renovated and washed glaze surface is fat and moist, the glaze color is green with flashes of gray, the whole body has larger grains, the texture is gray and black, harmonious and natural, giving people a wonderful and natural aesthetic enjoyment.
And there are still many such fine imitations from later generations that have been passed down to this day.
The Ge kiln of the Song Dynasty was favored by people in later generations. There were many imitators in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, each with its own style. It was called imitation Ge kiln or Ge glaze.
Although its production technology is no longer comparable to that of Ge kiln in the Song Dynasty, each has its own characteristics.
Of course, compared to imitations of Ge kilns from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the Ge kiln wares imitated by modern people are of the worst quality.
However, Chen Wenzhe is the easiest to learn from this part of the technology.
As one of the five famous kilns, "Ge Kiln" has always been a favorite among collectors of high-end ancient porcelain.
Because of its special appearance characteristics, it is highly recognizable among all types of porcelain.
The mystery and noble origin of Ge Kiln porcelain make collectors flock to it.
Therefore, the counterfeiting of Ge Kiln is rampant, and there are quite a lot of Ge Kiln porcelains that are “fake at first glance”.
What's more, he mysteriously leads collectors into his cabin.
Then make up a magical story and add a rhythmic tone.
Ever since, "simple" collectors believed it.
Some common Ge Kiln imitations on the market are low-quality imitations.
And the ones that can deceive people the most are these low-imitation works that look fake at first glance.
For example, gourd bottles on the market, no matter what kind of kiln they come from, many of them are formed by grouting.
