China's 5,000-year-old civilization, the development of porcelain has also gone through one period after another, with different styles and characteristics in each period, especially blue and white porcelain, which also reached a high level in the Qing Dynasty. The following overseas treasure hunt network tells you the identification method of blue and white porcelain in Qing Dynasty.
Blue-and-white porcelain, also known as blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white, has many varieties, such as peacock green glazed blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white glazed blue-and-white for the elderly. Its manufacturing method takes cobalt oxide as raw material and adopts underglaze color process. First, the pattern is painted on the porcelain tire, then covered with a layer of transparent glaze, and sintered at a high temperature once to achieve the effect of never fading.
According to historical records, blue-and-white porcelain existed in the Tang Dynasty, and the production technology of blue-and-white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty was mature, but it reached its peak in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the technology of making blue-and-white porcelain was quite superb, so its value was gradually rising in recent years, and there were several methods to identify blue-and-white porcelain in Qing Dynasty.
First, the blue-and-white porcelain in Qing Dynasty represented the cultural and historical background at that time, so from the modeling point of view, the modeling in Kangxi period was tough and straight; During the Yongzheng period, the shape was delicate and soft; During Qianlong period, the modeling and technology were complicated. Kangxi period has its own unique style, such as double deer statue, which is unique in Kangxi period. Generally speaking, there were dozens of modeling innovations in Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, but there was no major innovation in modeling after Qianlong, which basically continued the previous modeling varieties and styles.
Second, from the color of fetal glaze, Kangxi period was characterized by "tight skin and bright glaze". The carcass is glazed tightly, the tire is tough, the fracture is as hard as a shell, the section is as thin as that of glutinous rice cake, and the cyan is thorough and bright. The fetus in Yongzheng period was the whitest and contained the least impurities. During the Qianlong period, the carcass was white and delicate, the porcelain was firm and dense, and the sidewall was slightly thicker than Yongzheng blue and white. The glaze color is even, mostly blue-white glaze, with a small amount of pink-white glaze, and the luster is bright.
Thirdly, from the characteristics of decorative patterns, decorative patterns are closely related to the social customs at that time and the aesthetic taste of the emperor. For example, during the Kangxi period, there were many stories of landscape figures and "Knife and Horse Men", which reflected the scenes of ancient wars and the neighing of war horses. But by the late Kangxi period, the society had settled down, and there was farming and weaving. During the Yongzheng period, there was basically no decoration of "Knife and Horse Man", and flowers and birds were quite popular, paying attention to beauty and reasonable layout. During the Qianlong period, the ornamentation was complicated and the decoration was complicated, which was obviously influenced by the west, such as western paintings of women and children, and so on.
Fourth, from the point of view of money, there are more than 64 words in the official kiln, such as "Kangxi Year of Qing Dynasty" and "Qianlong Year". From the font point of view, there were many types of regular script in Kangxi period, regular script and seal script coexisted in Yongzheng period, seal script in Qianlong period, seal script in Jiaqing and Daoguang period, and later Xianfeng began to attach importance to regular script. Judging from the strokes, the strokes in Kangxi period are vigorous and powerful, while Yongzheng is neat and standardized.
