Chapter 1,666 Twenty-four types of commonly used colored porcelain
Under the setting sun, Chen Wenzhe finished his day's work.
In the small warehouse on the side, fired celadon small bowls and other daily porcelain have been packed.
Of course those are not his works, but these celadon works are also very beautiful.
Celadon has been produced at Yi Niantang Ceramics Factory for almost two years.
There are masters who make all kinds of porcelain here, and celadon is no exception.
After all, Chen Wenzhe first became famous because of his Celadon.
These works will be sent to all parts of the country one after another and put on people's coffee tables and dining tables...
Today's celadon is not only a work of art, but also serves people's lives.
Chen Wenzhe also needs to make a living, so every time he solves a problem, a large number of fine porcelain will flow into the market.
The next period of time is all about production, promotion, and shipping to make money.
Every day before dawn, I would take the kiln bricks, open the kiln door, take the sagger, and open the sagger...
With a majestic sound of "open the kiln", Chen Wenzhe completed another batch of celadon firing using the ancient method.
The porcelain here has basically been reserved before the kiln is opened, so there is no need to worry about lack of sales.
In Chen Wenzhe's studio, a modern smart kiln can automatically adjust the temperature of each firing period;
The standardized production and application of traditional Longquan celadon clay developed by the company has achieved large-scale and stable production of celadon raw materials;
The entire process, from soil mining, crushing and screening, washing and sedimentation, embryo drawing, embryo drying, biscuit firing, embryo trimming, decoration, glazing, boxing and kiln installation, kiln firing, kiln discharge, and finally the end of the market.
Modern people are concerned about costs, and ultimately what they may be concerned about is the price of the product.
When it comes to Longquan kiln, because the firing process of Longquan celadon is complicated and the yield is relatively low, the price of high-quality Longquan celadon is relatively high.
Some people divide Longquan celadon into several levels: fine products, first-class products, second-class products, and defective products.
There is no fault to be found in this fine product. The glaze color is even, as green as jade, as bright as a mirror, and as loud as a chime.
When you look at good celadon, there are so many good adjectives about celadon that come to your mind.
If all the good qualities are fired, it will definitely be a fine Longquan celadon.
However, celadon is just one of the countless colored porcelains in China.
This is also a question that Chen Wenzhe suddenly thought of. How many colored porcelains are there among the domestic porcelain?
Chen Wenzhe copied all the famous famous kilns he could come across, but he had never sorted out the colored porcelain that had appeared in China.
Colored porcelain should be porcelain with colorful decoration.
Due to the long history of colored porcelain in our country, in each different historical stage, the majority of potters have continued to innovate in production technology, so there are many varieties of colored porcelain.
Especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were dozens or hundreds of varieties of colored porcelain.
Judging from the traditional names, some are named after the process method, some are named after the color materials used, and some are named after the color of the decoration on the table.
There should be more than twenty types of commonly used colored porcelain.
The most common ones we see are blue and white, underglaze red, etc.
Blue and white appeared in the Tang and Song Dynasties, matured in the Yuan Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Cobalt ore is used as the raw material to paint on the green body, which is covered with glaze and then fired in a kiln at high temperature.
Underglaze red was fired in the Yuan Dynasty, developed in Yongxuan, and reached its peak in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty.
The metallic copper element is used as a coloring agent to paint on the surface, which is then glazed and fired at high temperature.
Blue and white underglaze red became mature in the Yuan Dynasty, and after the Qing Dynasty, blue and white became an embellishment of underglaze red.
For example, multi-colored porcelain can be derived from multi-colored porcelain.
Wucai was created and burned in the late Yuan Dynasty, matured, and reached its peak during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
The colors are bright and intense, without emphasis on transition, and are also called "hard colors".
Doucai porcelain was created on the basis of five colors. This kind of colored porcelain was created during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and was highly praised during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.
First use blue and white to outline the outline, and then use paint to color it a second time.
On the basis of doucai, the color is then filled with enamel color.
Enamel painting was created and fired in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Western enamel painting techniques were transplanted to porcelain bodies.
Pastels were founded in the late Kangxi period and matured during the Yongzheng period.
Before applying color, use glass white powder as a base to make the color transition.
Alum red was created in the Song Dynasty, and was later used in the Ming Dynasty. It was very popular in the Qing Dynasty, and its color often had an orange-like red color.
Ink color began in the mid-Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and became popular in the Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties.
It is mainly made of bright black, and also uses alum red, principal gold and other color materials.
In addition to these familiar colored porcelains, there are many other colored porcelains from past dynasties, such as light crimson colored porcelain.
Popular in the late Qing Dynasty, patterns were painted with black materials, and then painted with dark ocher, aqua, grass green, blue and purple.
Plain three-color painting began in Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty and became very popular during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
Green, yellow, purple, white and other color materials are mainly used, and red is not used.
High-temperature color glaze duibai was created and fired in Xuande of the Ming Dynasty and matured in Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. There are two main types: blue duibai and peach red duibai.
Brown-green uses iron- and copper-containing pigments to present brown and green patterns.
The four common colors of red and green are red, green, yellow and black. Color is applied on the fired white glaze to outline the pattern, which is then fired in the kiln for the second time.
White glaze and black color were first fired in the Northern Song Dynasty and were widely fired until the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Use a brush dipped in black material, paint on the glazed white clay body, and then glaze it into the kiln.
Guangcai is a new variety produced entirely for export.
New colors were popular during the Guangxu period, including decals, paintings, brushed flowers, printing, film transfer, various colors, etc.
Underglaze multicolored ceramics were first created in the late Qing Dynasty. They are also called "green" ceramics because of their corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Underglaze seven-color fine-brush porcelain was successfully developed in September 2011. The fine-brushwork porcelain is painted directly on the body, and then it is glazed and fired in a kiln at high temperature.
Gold color began in the Song Dynasty and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. Gold-colored overglaze color was used as a porcelain decoration technique.
Sprinkle a blue bamboo tube dipped in blue glaze juice and blow it onto the fired white glaze vessel.
The addition of blue and white colors was initiated by Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty and further developed by Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty.
It uses underglaze blue and white instead of blue, and then adds other colored materials after firing.
Rabbit hair glaze is named after the yellow-brown or rust-colored stripes that appear on the black glaze, like a halo.
In ceramic spray painting, an engraving plate is placed on the surface of the vessel, and compressed air is used to spray the color material onto the product through a spray gun, allowing for multi-version color registration.
Here are the simplest twenty-four kinds of colored porcelain, which are also the twenty-four types of colored porcelain that we commonly use.
And these are some ordinary color glazes. On the basis of these color glazes, many glaze colors can be formed.
For example, Tang Sancai and Song Sancai, although both have "cai" in their names, they are actually pottery, not colored porcelain.
There are many varieties of colored porcelain, including added color, five colors, plain three colors, pastel colors, hard colors, soft colors, ancient colors, enamel colors...
To put it bluntly, just the name can make people dizzy.
Both are painted on porcelain. What are the differences between these varieties and how to distinguish them?
According to the different painting positions, all the above colored porcelain can be divided into three types: underglaze color, overglaze color, and overglaze and underglaze mixed color. Our website:
