After putting the appreciation bottle aside, Xiao Zhang picked up the clay and began to think about what clay tires should be fired.

There are many kinds of porcelain, and Xiao Zhang has fired a lot, but now it is obvious that new porcelain varieties are needed.

Xiao Zhang thought about it, and he really wanted to fire a hundred completely different pieces of Ru porcelain.

And throwing out those small pieces of teacups, plates, and the like, Xiao Zhang also wanted to throw out those large pieces, the whole of about 100 pieces.

It's not that it can't be done, but it requires Xiao Zhang to have great endurance and imagination.

What is the combination of Ru porcelain can just be perfectly displayed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang closed his eyes and took a simple rest, and then his brain began to storm.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.

There are so many pieces of Ru porcelain that I have drawn this time, and there is really no plum bottle.

As the plum bottle that Xiao Zhang is good at, Xiao Zhang clicked it and fired this one.

The plum bottle must be a traditional porcelain, the plum bottle is a small mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, thin bottom, circle foot bottle type, to the mouth can only be inserted plum branches and named.

Because the bottle body is slender, it is called the bottle in the Song Dynasty, it is used as a container for holding wine, the shape is very beautiful, pretty, and it is called the plum bottle after the Ming Dynasty.

The plum vase first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and was more popular during the Song and Liao periods, and many new varieties appeared.

Xiao Zhang remembered that in modern times, Xu Zhiheng described in detail the shape, characteristics and origin of the name of the plum bottle in the book "Drinking Liuzhai and Saying Porcelain": "The mouth of the plum bottle is thin and the neck is short, the shoulders are extremely broad, the shin is slightly narrow, and the foot is slightly rich, and the small caliber is only commensurate with the thin bones of the plum, so it is called the plum bottle." “

Regarding the use of plum bottles, there are poems about "Qinggu wine" and "drunken wine sea" on the belly of the plum bottle in Cizhou kiln.

The plum bottle is both a sake vessel and an ornamental item that is hard to put down. Therefore, this type of vessel is often beautifully made, not only considering the storage capacity, but also paying attention to the beautiful shape.

Xiao Zhang's understanding of the plum bottle can be said to be very thorough.

In particular, he now has a grandmaster-level Ru porcelain firing skills, and he is very thorough about the overall development of the plum vase.

It can almost be said that the development and changes of the plum vase over the centuries are very valuable and distinctive.

The plum vase appeared in the Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, many plum bottles were produced by the people, which can generally be seen in large and small wine shops.

The plum vase of the Song Dynasty is generally tall and thin, the shoulders are slanted downward, the feet are long and close to a straight line, the bottom is relatively small, the minimum diameter of the body is above the shoulder to the lower part of the mouth, the processing techniques are diverse, and there are often sharp and angular turns.

Porcelain kilns are fired in various places, but the Jingdezhen blue and white plum vase is the most exquisite.

The plum vase currently fired by Xiao Zhang is also more inclined to the style of the Song Dynasty.

But this time, Xiao Zhang wanted to combine more and more thoroughly.

Fuse all the bits of each dynasty.

Xiao Zhang itself is now biased towards the style of the Song Dynasty, because the plum bottle was very popular in the Song Dynasty, in the Song Dynasty plum bottle is also called the Jing bottle, after the Ming Dynasty is called the plum bottle in the Song Dynasty, the folk produced a lot of plum bottles, generally in the large and small wine shops can be seen.

And when it comes to the Southern Song Dynasty plum bottle: most of them are narrow-shouldered and slender chicken leg types.

In the Yuan Dynasty, a great change has occurred, that is, the plum bottle of the Yuan Dynasty belongs to the inheritance of the Song Dynasty system, but the shoulders are more plump, with a lid, the lid is bell-shaped, and there is a tube column-shaped mouth, and the lid can be turned upside down as a wine glass.

In addition to the round plum vase in the Yuan Dynasty, there were also flat-mouthed plum vases, octagonal plum vases, and Bafang Ujiao plum vases, with blue and white, blue and white glaze red, glaze red and other glaze colors.

That is to say, the plum vases of the previous dynasties did not have underglaze color, but the appearance of underglaze color began in the Yuan Dynasty to make the plum vase more patterned.

So this is also the reason why Xiao Zhang wants to integrate into it.

That is, some patterns are embossed on the plum vase, and the pattern under the green glaze will bring out the beauty and tranquility of the plum vase even more.

Xiao Zhang sighed the most about the plum bottle in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Because in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial kiln factory made a large number of all kinds of plum bottles, and the shape became more and more beautiful.

Some were used to hold wine for the emperor's use.

Some of them became court furnishings.

At this time, the state and shape of the plum vase have changed even more.

Xiao Zhang's research on plum bottles in the Ming and Qing dynasties is also somewhat profound.

This shape of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be said to be more profound, allowing Xiao Zhang to have a unique insight into his plum bottle.

First of all, the shape of this plum vase in the Ming Dynasty is low in proportion, the mouth is round and thick, there is no obvious line and angle turn, the shoulders are raised upward, the lines are full and powerful, the abdomen is vertical, some are slightly inward, and at the end of the foot, slightly outward.

Of course, some white-glazed plum bottles have the word "Neifu" in blue and white regular script on the shoulder, which is a palace utensil.

In the Qing Dynasty, there will be more changes.

Xiao Zhang remembered that the shoulders of Qianlong's plum vase in the Qing Dynasty were particularly plump, almost in a straight line, and the waist was straighter.

The plum bottle pays attention to the pattern, and the dragon pattern is more rigid.

After Qianlong, Xiao Zhang remembered that the plum vase in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty had a variety of shapes, some developed to the wide and short type, and some developed to the slender type, the carcass was not much different from the Qianlong period, the whiteness of the glaze was higher than that of the Qianlong period, and the texture of the glaze was lower than that of the Qianlong period.

The patterns of the plum vase are more diverse, but the artistic taste is worse than that of the Qianlong period.

This belongs to the downhill road after the plum bottle, and Xiao Zhang mainly absorbs the characteristics and particularities of each dynasty.

He once fired the Ru porcelain plum vase in the Ruzhou Ru Porcelain Competition, but then the Ru porcelain plum vase did not continue to be fired, this time Xiao Zhang wanted to show the charm of the Ru porcelain plum vase to the fullest.

Therefore, it is necessary to integrate the characteristics of plum vases of various dynasties.

If the plum vase of the Song Dynasty is very beautiful, pretty, and rich in female characteristics, then the plum vase of the Ming Dynasty is strong, generous, and rich in male characteristics.

As for the plum vase of the Qing Dynasty, due to the improper proportions of the shape, it gives people a sense of disharmony and incompleteness, which is not as good as the level of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiao Zhang's plan is to start from the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

The perfect fusion of this feeling, let the plum vase in your hand become a beautiful product that can surpass your best.

The plum vase, the head of the vertical vessel, must present the most beautiful effect.

The shape of the mud-tired plum bottle in Xiao Zhang's hand began to be more changeable.

The overall effect is also better, and even its feeling is slowly moving closer to the breath of the dynasty.

Xiao Zhang took a deep breath, and the movements in his hands became even slower.

The degree of perfection of the instrument is also becoming more and more obvious.

The feeling of the plum bottle comes out, too.

The overall rounded curve of the tire type is also very in place.

Xiao Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

This plum vase is the most perfect of all the mud tires that I have drawn my own blanks so far.

It is also the one that consumes the most time for Xiao Zhang.

It can be said that among the dozens of mud tires that Xiao Zhang is now, this plum vase ranks first.

Because the energy expended is also the most.

However, the presentation is also the most perfect.
