What are the characteristics of enamel porcelain in Qing Dynasty?

First of all,

As far as painting style is concerned, the outer walls of Kangxi enamel porcelain are all colored paintings, with no white background and no poems.

In content, it changed the monotonous painting method with flowers but no birds in Kangxi dynasty, painting flowers and birds, bamboo stones, landscapes and other pictures, with corresponding poems and excellent blue prints of calligraphy, becoming an artistic treasure combining porcelain with books, poems and paintings.

Second,

In terms of bottom money, the bottom money of Kangxi Dynasty was mainly made by Kangxi imperial system and Song system, with blue, red and blue materials, of which blue materials were the most, and yellow money was mainly made of purple sand.

In Yongzheng Dynasty, most of the styles were in Song style and double-row blue materials, and a few were in regular script and double-row Tsinghua.

Most of the money at the end of the Qianlong dynasty was double-row blue money, and the font was mostly in Song style, and a few were four-character or six-character seal, but no red or yellow money was seen.

◆ Equipment type

Kangxi enamel handed down from ancient times has no magnifying glass, and the height of the bottle-shaped object is no more than 25 cm. Most of them are boxes, bowls, plates, cups and pots, among which bowls account for the largest proportion.

◆ Fetal glaze

Kangxi enamel is mainly made of plain white porcelain fired in Jingdezhen. In order to achieve the effect of enamel painting on copper tires, reverse porcelain with glazed inner wall and unglazed outer wall was used as tires, and the outer wall of the tires was painted with enamel color, then the reverse porcelain was fired in a kiln and painted. Porcelain tire is more delicate and white than copper tire, which makes the pigment more bright and moist, and its painting effect is better than that of copper tire.

◆ Painting

Kangxi enamel handed down from ancient times includes purple enamel, red enamel, green enamel, yellow enamel and blue enamel. At this time, the enamel color has the same characteristics as that of copper tire enamel color. Colored materials are imported, among which rose and carmine pigments are the most prominent.

◆ decorations

Kangxi enamel porcelain is in its infancy and has not yet formed its own style. The pattern mainly imitates bronze tire enamel. Decorative patterns are mostly flowers, including peony, lotus, chrysanthemum, rose, peony, morning glory, hydrangea, Dianthus, etc. There are also auspicious sentences such as "ten thousand", "longevity", "long" and "spring" in enamel painted flowers.

◆ Money knowledge

The bottom of Kangxi porcelain ware is marked with calligraphy seal cutting, and the four-character box of Kangxi Imperial System is written in blue or carmine. The four-character box of the yellow enamel version of Kangxi Imperial System consists of a teapot bottom and a bowl cover; In addition, the little red book "Kangxi Imperial System" was used to draw enamel objects on the Yongle white tire. I only saw a four-character carving, that is, the "Kangxi Imperial System" carved on the tire foot, which was a purple sand enamel bottle fired by Kangxi.
