Pale crimson colored porcelain, from Tongzhi, Guangxu to the early years of the Republic of China, showed China's "three wonders"-poetry, calligraphy and painting, and combined porcelain painting with Chinese painting, creating a new look of porcelain painting. Its standard procedure is to draw patterns with dark and light glazes on porcelain tires, then dye them with light ochre, aqua green, grass green, light blue and purple, and then at (650-700)℃
A great breakthrough of pale crimson colored porcelain is to inscribe the author's name on the porcelain painting, or to have both poems and seals, which is a pioneering work in the history of ceramics.
Pale crimson colored porcelain fetal glaze: Early pale crimson colored porcelain, most of which were thick and loose, and the glaze was orange peel glaze (slightly undulating). Most porcelains are decorated with a gold rim, but most of them have fallen off. The light crimson colored porcelain painted by famous artists is different from ordinary porcelain, and the glaze color of porcelain is moist and clean. The light crimson colored porcelain in the early years of the Republic of China was different from that in the early years. Porcelain is thin, delicate and glazed. ?
Shapes of pale crimson colored porcelain: there are square bottles as high as 75 cm, kettles and small wine glasses as high as several cm. Wang Youtang's small porcelain painting Shadow of Autumn River is only 7 cm square. There are two kinds of pale crimson colored porcelain: one is decorative porcelain, such as porcelain plate, pipa statue, elephant ear statue, deer head, animal head ear vase, square vase, hexagonal vase, Four Treasures of the Study (basin, pen container) and so on; First, daily-use porcelain, such as hats, pots, plates, bowls, pots, cups, bowls, cups, wine piers, incense burners, candlesticks and so on. ?
Painting theme of pale crimson colored porcelain: Get rid of the single painting method that porcelain painters used prints and New Year pictures as templates in the past, and copy the paper and silk paintings of famous painters in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, which broke the rules of official kilns and pioneered and innovated, and covered many painting themes such as landscapes, figures, flowers, feathers, fish and insects, and Qing Dynasty for Bo Gu. In addition, the Bo Gu pattern of Qing Dynasty, which was popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties, also appeared on porcelain surface, which was similar to the style of "sea painting school" at that time. ?
Pale crimson colored porcelain has two patterns: shading and painting. Shading refers to the year pattern and the hall name pattern, and the pattern refers to the author pattern on porcelain painting. The year number, that is, the way of imitating the year numbers of official kilns in previous dynasties, is written on the bottom of the utensils. Generally, it is written in regular script or seal script, such as "Tongzhi Year System of Qing Dynasty", "Tongzhi Year System of Qing Dynasty", "Guangxu Year System of Qing Dynasty" and "Imperial Kiln Making". Some of these basic funds are false trust funds, which are inconsistent with the actual year, and should be based on the year of expenditure in the title of the picture. The bottom paragraph has a border, but no border. Hall names are hall names, room names, house names, porch names, etc. Written on the bottom of the vessel, or the name of the producer's room, or the collector's seal. The producer's room is named Youzhu Xuanzuo, Xinxuan Tang Yin, Guangxu Qingyun Calligraphy and Painting, Qingyun Calligraphy and Painting, and the collectors' seals are Shinohara Garden Collection and Zangge Collection. ?
Here, I would like to mention the calligraphy of the author's inscription on pale crimson painted porcelain. Calligraphy on porcelain has always been only a partial decoration on porcelain. However, the inscription calligraphy on pale red porcelain painting is different from the old model and full of artistic interest. There are not only regular script, running script and official script, but also seal script, bronze inscriptions and their explanations due to the influence of calligraphers and epigraphers at that time.
Light crimson porcelain Sheng Xing.
After the defeat of Taiping Army, the Imperial Kiln Factory was rebuilt. Although the society was relatively stable during the Tongzhi period, there were few porcelain burned by the royal family, and the new imperial kiln factory had no money at all. Painters have to make a living by painting light crimson porcelain. During the Guangxu period, pale crimson colored porcelain shone brilliantly. There are many authors and works, both coarse and fine. It can be said with certainty that the vast majority of pale crimson colored porcelain was produced during Guangxu period. In the thirty-four years of Guangxu, we can generally see the replacement relationship of painters. Therefore, the author divides it into three time periods, namely Guangxu 10, middle 10 and late 14.
Decline of reddish porcelain
After Guangxu, Xuan Tong and the early years of the Republic of China, the number of people who painted light crimson porcelain decreased sharply.
After 1925, there are basically no pale red porcelain paintings.
From Xuan Tong to the early years of the Republic of China, due to the changes of the times, the changes of the market and the rise of other porcelain industries, a large number of pale crimson porcelain painters turned to pastel porcelain. Because pastel porcelain is much more colorful than light crimson porcelain; However, after more than ten years and decades of use, the early pale crimson porcelain faded and lost its original style, so the market gradually favored pastel porcelain. Pale crimson porcelain finally withdrew from the historical stage. Therefore, pale crimson porcelain has existed in China for at least 70 years.
Hope to adopt, thank you.
