Chapter 1,678 Celestial Sphere, Flask

Since he wanted to give full play to his advantages, Chen Wenzhe naturally had to be selective about the glassware he made.

This is a great choice, such as the white set of four-color glazed snuff bottles carved with flowers and vegetables.

Like this Qing Dynasty carved flower and vegetable white set with four-color glazed snuff bottle, the size is only 5 cm high and 3.2 cm wide.

This type of vessel is made of translucent colored glaze, covered with four colors of colored glaze: red, green, yellow and light blue.

The snuff bottle is engraved with flowers and butterflies on one side, and two chili peppers on the other side. The carving is delicate and elegant.

Then there is the white tobacco bottle with embossed green flowers and flowers, the size is 10 cm high.

This kind of tobacco pot is a square pyramid with a narrow bottom and a wide bottom, with a circle foot.

The lid is made of green material, the lid is inlaid with gilt, and it is engraved with diagonal patterns.

On white material are relief flowers, branches and leaves painted with green material.

A snuff bottle of this level is so beautiful to make. It is no wonder that the snuff bottle back then was loved by so many people.

It is natural to make more snuff bottles of this level. After all, many snuff bottles made with modern craftsmanship are more beautiful than those made during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Next, Chen Wenzhe made a snuff bottle with flowers and birds pattern on the inside.

It is 7 centimeters high. The inside of the tobacco pot is painted with fine brushwork, with rocks, magnolias and peonies on one side and birds and hollyhocks on the other.

This piece of tobacco bottle is painted inside and lined with gold as the background, which is a relatively elegant approach.

There are also more exquisite snuff bottles, such as the five-color glazed snuff bottle with carved pattern.

This kind of snuff bottle is even more exquisite than the first four-color snuff bottle made by Chen Wenzhe.

Such fine snuff bottles come from the Qing Dynasty.

The diameter of this snuff bottle is 1.2 cm, the bottom diameter is 2.1 cm, and the height is 6.1 cm.

This pot has a translucent glass base with five colors including red, yellow, blue, green and purple.

The pot is flat, with a long neck, sloping shoulders and short round feet.

It is topped with a pink tourmaline cover and the belly of the pot is engraved with green lotus leaves.

There are also green vine branches stretching up to the shoulders. On one side is a tall sycamore tree, and under the tree stands a crane with a ganoderma lucidum in its mouth.

Together with the deer holding fairy fruit in its mouth on the other side, it forms the pattern of crane and deer sharing the same spring.

Next to it is a mountain stone carved from blue glass, with a red four-corner pavilion standing on the stone.

Snuff bottles like this have reached the highest level.

Of course, when it comes to better ones, there are also more distinctive ones, such as the open-carved Kui dragon pattern red sleeve tobacco bottle.

This kind of tobacco pot is made of red and white tinted glass. The pot belly uses a combination of openwork and relief carvings to carve dragon patterns, with a rich and thick style.

After finishing these three snuff bottles, Chen Wenzhe stopped.

No matter how good the snuff bottle is, you can't make more of it.

So, next Chen Wenzhe made a yellow glazed eight-sided celestial sphere vase.

This imitation Qing Dynasty glass celestial sphere bottle is 22.5 cm high.

This bottle is made of yellow opaque glass. It has an octagonal shape as a whole, a straight mouth, a long neck, a bulging belly, and an octagonal straight circle foot below.

The celestial sphere bottle was originally a porcelain shape, created and fired in the JDZ kiln during the Yongle and Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many varieties, such as blue and white celestial sphere bottles, pastel celestial sphere bottles, purple glazed celestial sphere bottles, Langyao red celestial sphere bottles, and colorful celestial sphere bottles.

In the Yongle Dynasty, ornamental bottles began to become popular, and in the Xuande period, they became more popular.

This kind of bottle has a small mouth, straight neck, plump shoulders, false ring feet, and slightly concave sand bottom.

It is named because its belly is huge, as if it has fallen from the sky.

During the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the antique style was prevalent.

The imitation celestial sphere vase is a large-scale display porcelain used in the palace.

In addition to the traditional blue and white varieties, painted celestial sphere vases such as multicolored and pastel colors have also begun to appear. However, the most precious doucai is rarely used on celestial sphere vases.

The main reason is that there is no big weapon in fighting for color.

The Qianlong Dynasty had a strong national power, and Hongli loved precious porcelain and elegant vessels. Therefore, the Tianqiu vase, a large colorful vessel, was produced by the Jingzhen Royal Kiln Factory on orders.

Many of the techniques used on porcelain celestial bottles can be used on glass products.

Especially the colors, such as blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles, yellow-glazed celestial sphere bottles, etc.

These are of different colors and can also be decorated with some patterns, such as the Baizitu celestial sphere vase, the cloud-dragon pattern celestial sphere vase, the Chinese red celestial sphere vase, etc.

Therefore, various patterns, patterns, and decorations can be used on glass products.

One of the classics is naturally the red eight-sided celestial sphere bottle. The size of this bottle is 23.5 cm high and 8.8 cm wide.

This bottle is a red transparent container, with an octagonal shape as a whole, a straight mouth, a long neck, and a bulging belly.

There is an octagonal straight circle foot at the bottom. The bottle has a beautiful shape, uniform color and elegant shape.

After making several celestial sphere bottles, Chen Wenzhe changed the shape of the celestial sphere again.

The next thing he made was a consecrated colored glass vase with floral patterns.

The diameter of this bottle is 5.3 cm, the bottom diameter is 6.5 cm, and the height is 15.3 cm.

This vase imitates the Qianlong style. It is made of colorless colored glaze as the base and covered with white and blue glass. The vase has a short neck, a bulging belly and a rounded foot.

The neck is alternately decorated with banana leaf patterns and flower patterns, and the belly is decorated with three illuminations.

The flower shape is carved out of white glass inside the opening, and then the flowers are dyed into colors.

The outside of the consecration is decorated with a pattern of clouds and bats, a circle of lotus petals is decorated where the feet and abdomen are connected, and there is a four-character seal script inscription made in the Qianlong reign on the bottom.

If you want to make a vessel like a glass vase, you just need to change the colors and you can make a lot of them.

Now that red is done, the classic blue is also essential.

Therefore, the next thing Chen Wenzhe made was a sky-blue glass melon-edge flask.

This flask is 14 centimeters high, sky blue, opaque, with a long neck, flat belly and ringed feet.

The whole body is milled with ten protruding ridges from the mouth to the bottom. The lines are accurate and smooth, and the intervals are straight and even, making it very beautiful.

As the name suggests, a long-necked bottle is a bottle with a relatively long neck.

This kind of bottle, as long as it is made into a streamlined shape, is still very beautiful.

Therefore, this is also a long-lasting type of wares, especially porcelain, which has been produced in many official kilns throughout the ages.

Among porcelains, there are quite a few first-class long-necked bottles, and some exquisite ones can easily cost millions.

Among many popular porcelains nowadays, long-necked bottles are still the main products.

In fact, long-necked bottles were already quite mature during the Yongzheng period.

However, the background of each era is different, and the blue and white porcelain or other types of porcelain fired will be quite different.

For example, the most classic long-necked bottle from the Yongzheng period is a work called "Pastel Visiting Friends with Qin".

At first glance, this piece of work gives people the impression that it is relatively delicate and very elegant.

Porcelain that can embody the word elegance is good porcelain, especially the long-necked bottles from the Yongzheng official kiln at that time were considered a special existence.

There is a treasure like this hidden in England.

It is a flask with a portrait, which is stored in the David Wade Foundation in the UK.

It is a treasure of accurate shape, and the glaze is very rich.

It is clear that it is a treasure, and it must have flowed out of the country through some official channel. Ordinary people are not lucky enough to own it.
