Black porcelain is also called Tianmu porcelain. This is an ancient porcelain-making process in Han Dynasty. It is one of the common glaze colors of common folk utensils. Black high temperature glazed porcelain. Black porcelain is developed on the basis of celadon.
Black porcelain is black porcelain with high temperature glaze.
Both black porcelain and celadon use iron oxide as the colorant of glaze to increase the iron content. The content of iron oxide in black enamel is above 5%.
Black porcelain appeared in Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the black porcelain fired in Shangyu kiln in Zhejiang Province had a thick and uniform glaze.
The black porcelain of Deqing kiln in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is represented by the black glaze produced in Deqing kiln in Zhejiang Province. Glaze is as thick as fat and as black as paint.
In the Song Dynasty, a large number of varieties of black porcelain appeared. The black porcelain produced in Ding Yao, Hebei Province was white with black and shiny glaze. The black porcelain fired in Jian Yao, Fujian Province, is very precious because of its high iron content and long holding time, and a large number of iron oxide crystals are precipitated in the glaze, forming a black crystalline glaze. Black porcelain with tortoise shell spots, wood leaf patterns, paper-cut decals and black porcelain produced in porcelain kilns in Henan and Shanxi are also very distinctive.
During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, black porcelain was one of the common glaze colors of common folk utensils.
Black porcelain producing area
Black porcelain was produced in the south, but in later history, the center of producing black porcelain was in the north. Although the black porcelain of Jian Yao in Fujian and Jizhou Kiln in Jiangxi were also famous in the Song Dynasty, they had no inheritance with the early Deqing black porcelain. It is believed that the prosperity of these two southern black porcelain factories has its special historical and cultural background. The styles of black porcelain in the north and south are different, and there are great differences. Throughout the emergence and development of black porcelain, black porcelain in different regions is produced independently, and then slowly affects each other. According to archaeological records, Shanxi black porcelain must have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it has a considerable scale. The kiln sites for firing black porcelain are at least Hunyuan kiln, Pingding kiln, Hejin kiln, Xiangning kiln, Jiaocheng kiln, Jiexiu kiln and Taiyuan kiln. So did Shanxi produce black porcelain in the Sui Dynasty slightly earlier than the Tang Dynasty? There is no black porcelain in the tombs of the Sui Dynasty, only celadon, so it is not certain whether there is black porcelain production in Shanxi in the Sui Dynasty.
Tang dynasty black porcelain
The decorative techniques of black glazed porcelain in Tang Dynasty are not very rich. Black and white decorative objects can be found in the materials, such as bowls with white inside and black outside, pots with black glaze and white edges, and black glazed porcelain animals. In the Tang Dynasty, black porcelain and vegetarian animal porcelain embryos were unearthed from Hunyuan kiln site, and black glazed small animal porcelain statues were unearthed from Jiaocheng kiln site. Among Shanxi black porcelain in the Tang Dynasty, the glazed porcelain of Jiaocheng kiln, also known as Tang Jun, is quite distinctive. It is based on dark brown glaze, and the glaze is sprinkled with light spots like clouds and magma at will. Very chic, with drums and porcelain pots, but unfortunately there is no complete equipment. At the same time, only Lushan kiln in Henan produces similar artifacts. The glaze of black glazed porcelain in Tang Dynasty has a strong sense of opacity, and its hair color is dark brown or yellow-green, which is not as high as that of black glazed porcelain in Song and Jin Dynasties and has a strong glass texture.
