Chen Wan'an looked at the time, and began to wonder in his heart, what kind of mud tire do he want to pull this time?

Among the first fifty mud tires, Xiao Zhang has already shown about ten mud tires that he thinks are breakthroughs and are very exquisite.

And now I want to challenge the boutique, I really can't think of anything else for a while.

Those classic porcelain shapes kept flashing through Xiao Zhang's mind.

Finally, Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up.

I remembered a piece of porcelain.

This tire type can be said to be very exquisite, and it is a great test of the skills of the firing.

And it has a very pure Chinese cultural connotation.

That's it.

In fact, strictly speaking, this Ru porcelain, which was selected by Xiao Zhang, is not a type that appeared in the Song Dynasty.

There are even very few Ru porcelain of this type.

If you see this type of Ru porcelain in modern times, there is no doubt that it is the work of later generations.

Because this type of vessel is a classic of the Qing Dynasty.

General Jar.

One of the jars in the Ming and Qing dynasties, its cover resembles the general's helmet, hence the name. The general jar was first seen in the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty was basically stereotyped and prevailed in the Kangxi Dynasty.

The shape of the vessel is tall, and the shape of each is slightly different. The common varieties are blue and white, five-color ware, in addition to yellow glaze, eggplant purple glaze, three-color and so on.

And Xiao Zhang's challenge this time is to fire the general's jar out of Ru porcelain.

After all, there are too many porcelain fetal types that Xiao Zhang knows and is familiar with now.

The type of this general jar appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, and the general jar at the end of the Ming Dynasty was relatively short and clumsy. In the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was basically finalized.

The shape is a straight mouth, short neck, full shoulders, and bulging belly. The lower part of the abdomen is gradually closed, mostly flat bottom without glaze, the whole body is round, and the shape of the vessel is tall.

During the Kangxi period, it was a period when the general jar was widely popular, and the shape at this time stretched the round tank to lift the abdomen, lengthened the neck, and tightened the circle foot, making the shape of the general jar appear upright and upward, and the spirit was magnificent.

Because the shape of the general jar is loved, so whether it is the official kiln or the folk kiln are fired in large quantities, especially the manufacture of the folk kiln, from the content to the form are based on the theme that the people like to see, there are opera characters, mythological stories, these themes are more complicated, it is difficult to display on small utensils, and the tall general jar, these themes can be comprehensively displayed, and are deeply recognized by the people.

Xiao Zhang picked up a large piece of mud and put it on the grunt cart and began to pull the blank.

In fact, the characteristics of this general's jar are very concise, because the lid of this jar is like a general's hat.

There is a button on the top and a cornice on the bottom...... The whole thing feels like a bowl is buckled down.

It took Xiao Zhang almost more than ten minutes to knead the shape of the general's jar, and then picked up a small piece of mud to draw the lid of the jar.

……

This operation took Xiao Zhang almost twenty minutes, and the overall presentation effect is very beautiful.

The height of this general's jar is about twenty-three centimeters, the caliber is slightly larger, almost seven or eight centimeters, and the abdominal diameter is about ten centimeters.

Very sensory.

Xiao Zhang gently put the general's jar aside.

This idea was opened, and Xiao Zhang couldn't hold it back.

Pick up the next piece of mud and start drawing.

Because since the last 50 pieces can be combined with other porcelain types and Ru porcelain, there are many more types of ware that can be fired.

For example, Xiao Zhang thinks that a piece of porcelain is very beautiful, a vase.

This vase is also one of Xiao Zhang's favorite porcelain fetals.

The bottle is a treasure of Chinese ceramic art.

It is the latest shape of Yongzheng Dynasty to appear as a reward.

Its shape comes from the jade pot spring bottle, and the shape of the heirloom is basically the same, with a skimming mouth, a slender neck, a shoulder decorated with convex strings, a round belly, and a circle foot.

The bottle is generally decorated with such a fixed pattern, with blue and white banana leaf patterns on the neck and lotus flowers on the abdomen.

Its meaning is profound, "Qing" represents "Qing", "Lian" represents "Lian", and "Qing" and "Lian" together contain the will of the society in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, hoping that the current government will be "incorruptible".

This kind of work has a metaphor for the pattern.

And more coincidentally, the color of this Ru porcelain is also azure.

Although it is said that most of the bottles are fired from blue and white.

And the pattern is also the pattern of the lotus flower.

But there is also a similarity in Ru porcelain.

This cyan is also a homonym for Qing.

And what Xiao Zhang is best at is embossing patterns on the top of Ru porcelain.

For example, the dragon pattern or phoenix pattern carved in long relief before Xiao Zhang.

And this bottle Xiao Zhang intends to emboss is a lotus flower.

Azure glazed porcelain embossed lotus, isn't it also a metaphor for the initial meaning of this bottle, green lotus, or incorruptible?

This kind of point question is very distinctive

Xiao Zhang began to get started.

The mud tires began to slowly appear on the wheel.

It can be said that because of its handsome appearance, soft lines and harmonious proportions, it was deeply loved by the kings of the Qing Dynasty.

Its shape is the style approved by Tang Ying, the kiln official of Yongzheng, who "participates in the ancient and modern styles, moves with new ideas, and prepares for storage ingenuity".

The original name was "Yutang Spring Bottle", because Emperor Yongzheng was dedicated to rewarding heroes.

The appreciation bottle has become a special term for the Yutang spring bottle.

However, there are some subtle differences from the jade pot spring products currently mentioned in history.

That is, the appreciation of the bottle may refer more specifically to this kind of bottle with a metaphor of incorruptibility.

Although the Yutang spring bottle is fired according to the jade pot spring bottle.

After Qianlong, each dynasty attacked each other, and the name, shape and use of the vessel never changed.

After the bottle was created, it soon became a traditional type of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty.

Among them, the production and use of bottles in the Qianlong period were the most popular.

Xiao Zhang also believes that this vase has great historical research value and collection value even now.

Because the bottle can be said to occupy an important place in history by virtue of its own value.

Some experts believe that the bottle is the most representative type of ceramic shape after the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

After the bottle is given to the hero, this vessel will be placed in a more obvious place, which is convenient for the courtiers to watch and feel the emperor's grace.

The bottle is more suitable for the viewer to hold and enjoy with his or her hands.

The two strings on the belly of the bottle are raised, which further enhances the curvaceous beauty of the bottle. The ornamentation of the bottle is not only limited to the blue and white lotus bottle, but also the pastel bottle appeared in the Qianlong period.

There are many types of decoration in the early pastel appreciation bottles, and the common decorations of the pastel appreciation bottles in the late Qing Dynasty are the pastel bat appreciation bottle, the pastel hundred butterfly appreciation bottle and the pastel leather ball pattern appreciation bottle.

These colorful vases appeared, but none of them were presented.

And Xiao Zhang is planning to present the Ru porcelain appreciation bottle this time.

Such beauty had already appeared in Xiao Zhang's mind.

Just wait for the complete firing to be successful.

However, it is not possible to emboss the mud tires at this time, but you need to wait for the end of the shade drying.
