Ge kiln is one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty (Guan, Ge, Ru, Ding, Jun). During the Southern Song Dynasty, the two brothers Zhang Shengyi and Zhang Sheng, who were from Chuzhou, set up a kiln in Longquan, Zhejiang, to make porcelain. However, the kiln site has not been found so far, so it is a major unsolved case in the history of ceramics in China.

Ge kiln is famous for the opening of the "golden wire", the so-called "golden wire" that is, the black large opening and the yellow small opening staggered formation, the pattern also has the common name of "caviar" and "100 garbage pieces". The glaze color has pink blue, gray blue, moon white, beige colors, because the fetal bone is purple black, iron black, the edge of the mouth glaze is thin and the bottom foot is unglazed to reveal the true color of the fetal bone, just like iron, so it is called "purple iron foot" and "polyfoam beads".

This collection is a Southern Song Dynasty Ge kiln double-eared three-legged furnace (see figure), 14.7 cm high, 11.1 cm in diameter, three-legged furnace is imitating the Western Zhou Dynasty bronze tripod style firing, the furnace on both sides of the symmetrical vertical ears, lips, drum belly, abdominal diameter than the caliber larger, the middle of the furnace body from the yang line, the bottom bearing three tubular feet, the foot hollow, the sole of the foot black, that is, the iron foot. The furnace body is full of glaze, the glaze is beige, the glaze is covered with gold wire and iron wire, the upper part of the yang line is larger, the lower part and the foot are smaller, and there are six nail marks of iron brown at the bottom of the furnace. The crack of the opening piece of the porcelain glaze was originally a kiln disease, which was a defect caused by the inconsistency of the expansion coefficient between the carcass and the glaze, but the pearl was the product of the defect. The glazed gold wire opening piece is highly sought after by people, so the potters of the Southern Song Dynasty deliberately fired this crack effect, and the coarse black lines and fine yellow lines were staggered at the same time, forming the crack defect beauty of the gold wire iron wire, which is the characteristic of the brother kiln that distinguishes it from other kilns.

Brother kiln and Song Dynasty Ru kiln, official kiln and so on, did not see the Song Dynasty history records, until the Yuan Dynasty "to the integrity of the record" there is a record of the elder brother cave kiln, the early Ming Dynasty Cao Zhao "Ge Gu Yao" appeared about the brother kiln discussion, Cao Zhao thinks: Brother kiln has the old and the new. Because the opening of the kiln is appreciated by people, so from the Southern Song Dynasty onwards, imitations continued, Ming Chenghua (1465 1487 AD) and Qing Qianlong (1736 1795 AD) imitations, the most deified close, is the famous glazed porcelain at that time.

This three-legged furnace collection has been identified by the State Administration of Cultural Relics as: Southern Song Dynasty kiln porcelain that is prohibited from leaving the country. Although in terms of size, this three-legged furnace is not tall, but its shape faintly reveals a sacrosanct domineering, majestic, shocking, and this momentum is not possessed by all imitations in later generations. There are a plurality of shrinking glaze brown eyes of different sizes inside and outside the furnace, the glaze is smooth and smooth, the sound of knocking tiles, with a sense of ripe old warmth, it is a piece of Song Dynasty brother kiln art treasures that have not been handed down much, and are precious.
