Blue and white, exquisite, pastel, and colored glazes are collectively known as Jingdezhen’s four traditional famous porcelains. Thin-bodied porcelain is called a magical treasure, and sculpture porcelain is a traditional arts and crafts in my country.
Blue and white porcelain
Blue and white porcelain was created and fired in the Yuan Dynasty. Patterns were painted on the blank with pigments, and then glazed and fired at high temperature. The glaze color is crystal clear, clear, quiet and elegant. The green material is dissolved between the glaze and the color is green. Although the hue is single, it feels rich. Blue and white porcelain is durable, the porcelain will not break, and the color will not fade.
Linglong porcelain
Linglong porcelain was created and developed on the basis of the hollow craftsmanship during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of more than 500 years. On the thin blank, rice grain-shaped holes are carved, and then glaze is applied several times to fill the holes, and then fired in the kiln. In the Qing Dynasty, porcelain workers skillfully combined blue and white and exquisite porcelain, forming the blue and white exquisite porcelain that everyone loved. The green and transparent exquisite and the emerald-colored blue and white flowers set off each other and complement each other, giving people a special sense of beauty.
Famille enamel porcelain
Famille enamel, also known as soft enamel, is the overglaze decoration of porcelain. It began in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and became more and more perfect in the Yongzhi and Qianlong dynasties. The production method is: first outline the pattern on the white body porcelain, then fill it with coloring materials, and bake it at a temperature of more than 700 degrees Celsius. The color is soft, the painting work is delicate and neat, and it has the flavor of traditional Chinese painting. It also has a sense of relief, and the picture is full of strong national characteristics. There are characters based on Chinese historical stories and myths, beautiful and colorful landscapes, lifelike flowers and birds, neat and symmetrical geometric patterns, etc.
Color-glazed porcelain
A certain oxidized metal is added to the glaze, and after baking, a certain inherent color will appear. This is color glaze. The color of the glaze is mainly affected by the metal oxides that act as colorants. In addition, it is closely related to the composition of the glaze, particle size, firing temperature and firing atmosphere. People say that "porcelain of whatever color can be produced in nature can be produced in any color." If you visit Jingdezhen's color-glazed porcelain, you will believe this to be true. Of course, the ingredients and firing of many colored glazes are very difficult. For example, "sacrifice red glaze" is said to be one treasure for a thousand kilns.
