Chapter 252: The Amazing Moon White Glaze!

Xiao Zhang picked up the clay and began to draw the third piece of Ru porcelain clay tire......

These three pieces of Ru porcelain, Xiao Zhang's selection is more special......

Because the first one is to fight against Cao Jiuge's Ru porcelain, and the second one is to fight against this Lou Gensheng.

Although Xiao Zhang's second piece of fired two pieces of Ru porcelain, it can only be regarded as a pair......

This third piece, Xiao Zhang wants to show a very special Ru porcelain whether it is glaze or tire type!

This glaze is a moon-white glaze that Xiao Zhang has never fired!

The moon white glaze is the glaze color of Jun kiln at the earliest!

Now it belongs to the glaze nouveau riche of Ru porcelain!

The glaze color of the Ru kiln with moon-white glaze is moon-white, elegant and noble.

When the light is sufficient, it shows a jade-like moisturizing and greasy feeling, and shows a faint brightness in the grease feeling, and when the light is weak, it shows like a jewel in the dark, its moon white is very natural, and the moon white has a slight jade luster.

Truly feel the romance of Ruyao's "blue as the sky, face as jade".

If you close your eyes and touch the glaze of the moon-white glazed Ru kiln with your hands, you will have a jade-like sense of warmth and lubrication, and the glaze is extremely delicate and soft.

Of course, when the Yuebai glazed Ru kiln ware comes out of the kiln, not all Ru kiln ware has a sense of warmth like jade, but after the Ru kiln ware is cared for and used, its warmth can be gradually shown from shallow to deep.

The moon white glaze uses iron oxide as the main coloring agent, as well as a small amount of manganese and titanium.

The moon white glaze is a green glaze, with ash in the tire, and it is fired by a high temperature of 1350 degrees "reducing flame" into the kiln.

Because the viscosity of the moon white glaze is large at high temperature, that is, it is not easy to flow glaze at high temperature, so the glaze layer can be thickened.

The glaze color of Ru kiln ware is used to achieve a soft and elegant jade texture through appropriate "high temperature" and "reducing atmosphere".

The glaze color of the white glaze this month is very beautiful, and it is almost impossible to describe it as white jade.

And this glaze is very difficult to modulate.

Xiao Zhang needs to prepare the glaze of the moon white glaze separately when firing the moon white glaze!

Moreover, in addition to the glaze firing of Ru kiln and Jun kiln during the Song Dynasty, the official kiln firing of moon white glaze is also very famous!

It can be said that it is a beautiful color that is valued by many porcelain!

Especially the moon white glaze of the official kiln!

The official kiln is one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, which was directly built by the government, and the glaze color is the most popular in three colors: moonlight, pink blue, and big green.

The official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is also called the official kiln of Bianjing.

According to legend, during the period of Daguan and Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty, a kiln was set up near Bianjing to burn porcelain for the court, that is, the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although the official kiln porcelain accounted for only a very small number of porcelain in the Song Dynasty, because of its status and superior conditions, it fired a number of high-grade porcelain required by the court at that time, and became a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.

The official kiln is divided into two places, one is the Bianjing official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the other is the new kiln Hangzhou Xiunei Siguan Kiln established by Gaozong in Hangzhou after the Southern Song Dynasty moved south, also known as the inner kiln.

However, there are still divergent opinions on this classification, because the Bianjing site is buried under Kaifeng City, and it is difficult to excavate archaeology, so we can only speculate on the situation of the kiln at that time through ancient records. According to several ancient books, such as Cao Zhao's "Gegu Treatise" in the early Ming Dynasty, the "Negative Miscellaneous Records" written by the Southern Song Dynasty, and the "Yuanzhai Biheng" in the Southern Song Dynasty, the official kiln was indeed divided into two places: north and south.

The official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is a kiln set up by the official government of the Northern Song Dynasty Daguan and Zhenghe in Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan), which is called the official kiln.

The official kiln is one of the five famous kilns (Jun kiln, Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, and Ding kiln).

Later official kilns refer to kilns built by the government to make porcelain, and the ceramics produced were used by the imperial court.

Therefore, in addition to the famous official kilns of the Song Dynasty, there are also official kilns of the Liao Dynasty and the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty.

The official kiln products must conform to the royal aesthetics, which objectively limited the artistic development of ceramic craftsmen, and after Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the official kiln products gradually declined.

The porcelain of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty has been handed down very rarely, and it is very rare and precious.

In Xiao Zhang's impression, the moon white glaze works of the official kiln are very famous!

This is an official kiln moon white glazed amphora!

This official kiln moon white glaze amphora, the glaze is covered with large and small fly wing-shaped opening pieces, which is due to the effect of different expansion coefficients of the tire and glaze after heating.

The craftsmanship is so fine that it forms a subtle gold wire. The official kiln "Cheng mud is a fan, the glaze is clear, extremely exquisite, and is cherished by the world. ”

The incense burner skimmed the mouth, flattened belly, and underneath the circle foot. The mouth is placed on the edge of the symmetrical two standing ears. The shape is standardized and elegant.

The mouth glaze is thin, and the fetal bone is slightly visible, which is commonly known as "purple mouth iron foot".

The enamel is thick, crisp and bright, and has a jade texture. The underglaze bubble particles, large and bright, and accumulate moose, as described in the historical material "Gathering Foam and Gathering Beads".

This vessel is a rare official kiln work.

And the official kiln ware does not advocate patterns, simple and unadorned, but uses the opening as a means to beautify the table, which is particularly elegant.

The natural formation of the official kiln utensils is like a net, layered and transparent, like the ice in the river in winter, which is varied and chaotic. Under the cover of the green glaze, they complement each other and are interesting.

After the Song Dynasty moved the capital to Lin'an, Shao Chengzhang raised the official kiln at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in Dianzhong Province according to the old system of the Northern Song Dynasty, called the inner kiln, and later established a new official kiln in the suburbs.

The porcelain glaze of the official kiln in the suburbs of Xiu Neisi has moon white, pink blue, and beige three colors, with ice cracks, and hidden lines such as eagle claws.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Zhao's "Gegu Treatise" said: "The official kiln Song Xiu Neisi burners have fine soil, the color is blue with pink, the shades are different, there are crab claw patterns purple iron feet, the color is good and the Ru kiln is similar, there is black soil called the black mud kiln, and the pseudo ones are all burned by Longquan, and there is no texture. ”

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the "Yuanzhai Biheng", it is mentioned that "a new kiln will be set up under the suburban altar", which is the second official kiln established in the early Southern Song Dynasty, called "suburban altar official kiln", which is also located in Hangzhou.

At the 1989 Hong Kong Autumn Auction, an 11-centimeter-diameter "Southern Song Dynasty Official Kiln Kwai Petal Wash" was sold for 25 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a record for Chinese porcelain auctions at that time. After a lapse of 20 years, this "Southern Song Dynasty official kiln sunflower petal wash" was taken out and re-auctioned, and the auction estimate should be between 300 million and 500 million Hong Kong dollars. Because this vessel far surpasses the Qing Qianlong enamel color vase sold at auction for 200 million yuan, the Qing Qianlong foreign color vase and the Qing Qianlong pastel turning heart vase sold for 550 million yuan.

The charm of the works of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is connotative, simple and unpretentious, not only without any exquisite carvings and decorations, but also without any colorful painting, and it completely relies on its own glaze and the beauty of the illusory pattern to reach its aesthetic realm of ice and jade, and the charm is natural.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty gave a poem to the official porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty: "Li Tang Yue has long been called nothing, and the official kiln of the Zhao and Song dynasties is lonely." The color is from the pink and green fire, the tattoos are like eels with blood and ice skin, and the rubbing is really simple and simple, and the aria is still not beautiful. Who is the gift of Changji, and the hairpin flower has to be a negative slave. ”

It can be seen from this that the beauty and value of the white glaze of this month are very rare......

And this is also the reason why Xiao Zhang wants to fire a moon white glaze!
