Chen Nanshan took a closer look, this glaze can be described as brilliant, and it is not easy to see.

But on closer inspection, it's amazing, what's going on?

This glaze is the transparent glaze of blue and white porcelain, but how can the transparent glaze be fired with such a color?

The materials used here are all their own materials, so how can there be such a big difference?

Chen Nanshan stepped forward to take the blue and white porcelain handed over by Xiao Zhang.

This is also an imitation of the ancient blue and white porcelain work.

No wonder this Xiao Zhang will be brought over for himself to see.

And in this Xiao Zhang, what was imitated was actually a blue and white porcelain from the Xuande official kiln.

The blue and white porcelain of the Xuande official kiln is not ordinary, it can be said that the blue and white of the Xuande official kiln occupies a very important position in the history of the development of Chinese ceramics in China, it reflects the social, economic, cultural, artistic and ideological concepts of the time from one side.

It can be said that as a court porcelain and exquisite artwork, Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain has a unique artistic charm, of course, this has a lot to do with the complete system and the maturity of technology at that time.

Therefore, his works have been respected by later generations and are a model of blue and white craftsmanship.

Chen Qingshan said: "Brother Xiao Zhang, there are some things in your imitation Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain, not to mention this pattern, this glaze and tire are a little extraordinary!"

Xiao Zhang smiled: "How do you say this?"

Chen Nanshan said: "Your glaze is completely different from the glaze I have seen, so many years I have also seen who can have any innovation in the glaze, but today I saw, your blue and white porcelain glaze seems to be nothing special at first glance, but under closer inspection, it is brilliant, and there are many special brilliance displays, which is too unexpected." ”

"Speaking of this fetus, the Xuande blue and white carcass in my memory is thicker and heavier than that of Yongle Chao, and the fetus is precise and delicate, white and hard. ”

"In particular, plum bottles, large plates, and large jars are mostly unglazed white fine sand bottoms, very smooth to touch by hand, with flint red spots on the feet, small and medium-sized utensils are glazed bottoms, Xiao Zhang brothers, this is a plum vase of blue and white porcelain, compared with Xuande blue and white porcelain, it is almost the same, especially the glaze is thick and moisturized, the luster is soft and not dazzling, and it is white and blue. ”

After a pause, Chen Nanshan said: "In my memory, this is commonly known as bright green glaze, the glaze is not very smooth, like orange peel, well, it is also called orange peel glaze, and very few have open pieces. ”

Xiao Zhang nodded, what Chen Nanshan said is not bad at all, if the surface of this Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain is observed under a high-powered magnifying glass, this glaze is full of large and small bubbles, and even small bubbles rub large bubbles.

That is to say, in the Xuande Dynasty, no matter what variety of porcelain, almost all of them were glazed.

"I remember that the carcass of this folk kiln is made of porcelain stone and kaolin, white, good porcelain, compared with Yongle folk kiln, the carcass is thinned, the color is mostly light egg blue, the enamel is fat and bright, and the glaze has bubbles and orange peel brown eyes. Chen Nanshan looked at the imitation Xuande official kiln porcelain fired by Xiao Zhang in his hand and said.

It is almost obvious that whether it is the color, the glaze or the carcass, Xiao Zhang's imitation of Xuande's official kiln blue and white porcelain is very perfect.

What's more, there is the most beautiful glaze in the world!

Chen Nanshan turned the blue and white porcelain plum vase in his hand upside down, looked at the ornamentation on it, and continued: "I remember that this Xuande blue and white porcelain wins with ornamentation, and the ornamentation is very regular, never out of the edge. ”

And Chen Nanshan pointed to Xiao Zhang's blue and white porcelain plum vase and said: "This Xiao Zhang brothers have done a very good job, and this decoration is not very regular!"

Xiao Zhang also said: "The brush is divided into two kinds: solid brush and outline rendering, the real brush is mostly thin lines, and the outline rendering is mostly thick lines and ornamentation, the lines are smooth, the lines are clear, there is a sense of perfection, the ornamentation is rough, and there is no outline in random dot painting, which is commonly known as a dot painting." ”

Xiao Zhang glanced at his plum vase and said: "In fact, the range of materials for this ornament is relatively broad, from flowers, birds, fish and insects, characters and landscapes are everywhere, and the pattern painting is rendered and filled with a small brush, but due to the limited amount of the pen and the small dipping material, it is necessary to constantly re-dip the material to paint, so that the decoration leaves many shades of brush strokes." ”

After a pause, Xiao Zhang continued: "Its compositions are all generalized, exaggerated and selected, which enhances the decoration. ”

Xiao Zhang's words made Chen Nanshan also nod.

In addition, Xuande blue and white decoration is also used in combination with stenciling, engraving and other methods, so the overall Xuande blue and white decoration is a wide range of materials, the composition is innovative, the decoration is rich, the painting is magnificent and magnificent, with a strong artistic appeal, I also get inspiration from this, in the decoration is also very attentive. Xiao Zhang said with a smile.

"I really underestimated the Xiao Zhang brothers! Seeing the finished product, I really admired the blue and white porcelain of the Xiao Zhang brothers. Chen Nanshan sighed and said.

Xiao Zhang's blue and white porcelain plum vase is really beautiful.

The small mouth is slightly skimmed, the shoulders are plump, and the bottle body is fat and the neck is thicker and shorter than that of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Actually, I think it's not just the plum bottle, but this plate is also representative. Xiao Zhang said, picking up another blue and white porcelain plate from the shelf behind him.

This blue and white porcelain plate has an open mouth, a mouth and a folded edge, and the folded edge of the mouth is divided into a round mouth and a rhombic type, a shape has a variety of sizes, a small more than ten centimeters, a large nearly eighty centimeters. ”

"We now take the lotus plate to pass on the most, regardless of the size of the very rare collapse phenomenon, the carcass is relatively thick, the foot wall is not very high, the wall is introverted, the inside and outside the wall is oblique, can not be grabbed by hand, for the unglazed fine sand bottom, there are two kinds of glaze and sand bottom, the glaze is written in the year. Xiao Zhang said.

In addition, under the influence of foreign culture at that time, many shapes imitated the characteristics of gold and silverware, glassware and pottery in West Asia, such as the celestial globe bottle, the neck is short and thick, the top is wide and the bottom is constricted, the flower is watered, the fish basket is respected, the plate seat, the folding basin, the eight-sided candlestick, etc.

Chen Nanshan nodded, Xiao Zhang was right, this plum vase or zun, jar and the like belong to large pieces of blue and white porcelain.

The overall style is majestic, solemn and simple.

The number of large utensils increases, compared with plates, bowls, saucers and utensils, it is much more difficult to make, the carcass is made up and down in sections, and then bonded, the carcass is thick, the production is unconventional and neat, the proportion is coordinated, and there is no deformation.

This shows that the molding technology and firing technology are very mature, the bottom of the large plate is shallow, and the lower part of the foot is restrained.

The small utensils are delicate and delicate, with moderate thickness and elegant artistic style.

"Overall, Brother Xiao Zhang really amazed me when the kiln opened today! Not to mention anything else, I'll come over now to take a good look, what good things are still hidden in Brother Xiao Zhang's kiln!" Chen Nanshan shook his head and said with a smile.
