My system is not decent

From a purely historical and cultural perspective, the bronzes of the late Shang Dynasty already have great significance for collection and investment.

This kind of thing, whether imitated as porcelain or bronze, is of high value.

Of course, if you want to imitate this kind of thing as late business, you must not imitate it as evening, otherwise it will have no value at all.

Chen Wenzhe is also a professional in making bronze wares.

Now imitation must be imitation porcelain, and it is not difficult to imitate.

Now that we know the evolution process of the flower gu, it is natural to imitate everything that can be imitated.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe mainly made Ru kiln flower goblets, and some other varieties, such as multicolored flower goblets and blue and white flower goblets, could be imitated by workers in the factory.

Zhang Gu, in particular, is still very spiritual. With a little guidance from Chen Wenzhe, he seems to be doing well.

Since Zhang Gu had the idea of ​​learning, Chen Wenzhe did not hesitate to give advice.

"I make celadon. If you are interested, you can make some blue and white, pastel, or simply make multicolored goblets?"

Seeing that Zhang Gu's craftsmanship was not bad, Chen Wenzhe made a request. He really wanted to see Zhang Gu's level.

"Good boss, please give me your advice." Zhang Gu was not polite at all.

Isn't the reason why he came to South Vietnam to see his boss often?I came here to accept the guidance of the boss!

Now that he has seen Chen Wenzhe's level of making Ru porcelain, Zhang Gu is already astonished.

As for his own imitation of Ru porcelain, he feels that he is still far behind.

But he is very confident in making blue and white porcelain and multicolored porcelain.

"We have all kinds of blue and white materials here, and we also have enough kaolin. You can make blue and white flower goblets, pastels, and multicolored flower goblets! If you have confidence, starting from the Ru porcelain flower goblets in the Northern Song Dynasty to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, all You can imitate a few pieces!"

Seeing that Zhang Gu has enough confidence, Chen Wenzhe continued to increase the difficulty.

The several dynasties he mentioned just now made flower gus, but each dynasty made different ones, and even the names were not necessarily the same.

Just one goblet, since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, there have been many types of goblets. It can be said that from ancient times to the present, the goblets of each period are different.

Gu, the earliest ancient container used for drinking, is also used as a ritual vessel.

This kind of thing has ring feet, open mouth, long body, and the mouth and bottom are both trumpet-shaped.

Goblets first appeared in the Erligang Culture, but were very rare in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and prevailed in the Shang Dynasty and the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

Porcelain vases imitating bronze goblets, commonly known as "flower goblets", were popular in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Of course, this does not mean that there was no Huagu in the Song Dynasty, but it was not called this name at that time, and it was not very popular at that time.

This thing is a bit like a jade pot spring bottle in a wine vessel. Was there no jade pot spring bottle before the Yuan Dynasty?

Definitely not. Although the Yuan Dynasty said that the jade pot and spring vase were created and fired, there must have been similar types of vessels before, but they were not fired on a large scale.

The flower gu is also similar, there must have been before, but there are only a few, and they have not been specifically classified into one category.

Still talking about flower goblets, with the continuous improvement of porcelain firing technology, the shapes of porcelain have become more abundant, and many porcelains used for furnishings have begun to have certain practical functions.

After the development of the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties in the Ming Dynasty, the shapes of the flower goblets became more diverse.

Formal flower gus began in the Yuan Dynasty, and were mainly popular in the period from Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Wanli to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to being used for display, the early flower cups were mostly used for flower arrangement and hall decoration among the people.

The shape of the flower goblet is handsome, dignified and generous, with rich line changes.

There are two kinds of colorful flower goblets and blue and white flower goblets that are common, and the decorative themes include character stories, folklore, twirling flowers or flowers and birds.

The characteristics of the age of the flower goblet are very obvious. The flower goblet of the Ming Dynasty is mainly three-stage, with a trumpet mouth on the top, a drum belly in the middle, and a phoenix tail at the bottom. The shape of the device is simple and elegant.

Among the common Ming Dynasty flower cups, the five colors are the most valuable.

Generally, it has the characteristics of dense decoration, clear layers, bright colors and tough style.

Huagu, a type of porcelain, was actually produced in large quantities in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was mainly popular in the Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Qianlong periods.

With the decline of porcelain from the late Qianlong period and Jiaqing period, this variety has gradually disappeared.

Of course, whether there is or not, it is called Huagu or not, there are Huagu works in different periods.

Whether it is called Huagu or not is not important, what is important is that bronze goblets were imitated during the Ru kiln period of the Song Dynasty. No matter what the ancients called this kind of porcelain, in the eyes of modern people, it is Huagu.

Now, looking at the flower cups in different periods, you can appreciate the artistic style and shape changes in different periods.

While appreciating its artistic beauty, if you want to imitate it, you must understand the historical evolution of Huagu.

From the color, tire glaze, shape, carcass, to distinguish the varieties of different periods, on the contrary, according to the characteristics of each period, to reproduce the fine products of each era.

Zhang Gu is very spiritual. With a little guidance from Chen Wenzhe, he got started.

Coupled with his profound porcelain-making skills, the flower goblets he made are really good.

Among them, the two best pieces are one imitating the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi blue-and-white landscape figure flower goblet, and the other is an imitation of a rare boutique Yongzheng blue-glazed flower goblet.

After working for a long time, he made a series of celadon vases. When Chen Wenzhe stopped, he found that Zhang Gu's imitation was very professional.

At least he took a look at the past and found no major problems.

Whether it is the choice of glaze, the characteristics of the decoration, or the fineness of the glaze color, they are all done perfectly.

Just like the piece of Shunzhi porcelain, the Shunzhi porcelain of this period was in the transitional stage of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and its shape, glaze, and decoration all have distinct transitional characteristics.

The flower goblet imitated by Zhang Gu has a simple and simple shape, and the enamel is blue and white;

Sauce yellow glaze is applied along the mouth of the utensils, with different shades.

The key point here is that the yellow glaze mouth is an important feature of the Shunzhi period.

Most of the flower goblets in this period were painted with "mountains, rocks, flowers and birds".

The blue and white material has been adopted from Zhejiang during this period, and the foot root of the ring foot has changed from the beveled cut of the Ming Dynasty to the round loach back.

The official kiln porcelain is all blue and white, which is a double-line regular script style of "Shunzhi Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty" and "Shunzhi Year System".

Folk kilns mostly write ancient Chinese characters such as Ganzhi Years and Yutang Jiaware.

The output of porcelain in this period was not small, so the existing quantity is relatively large.

In terms of pattern decoration layout, another main feature is that the lower part of the vessel is mostly painted with banana leaf patterns.

In terms of shape, the opening angle of the mouth edge is smaller compared with other similar varieties of the same period!

There is no obvious protruding part in the middle of the device, and the integrity is strong, and the height of the device is between 20cm and 44.5cm.

Although this is a common variety of porcelain, and even a bit popular, it has to be said that it is not easy to imitate it to this extent.

It can also be seen from this that Zhang Gu is paying attention.

Looking at the Yongzheng flower cup again, the Yongzheng period was the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, and porcelain production reached the highest level in history.

This very rare Yongzheng flower goblet is light and handsome in style, exquisite and charming.

It's fine if it's done well, mainly the type of utensils like the flower gu, which was even rarer in the Yongzheng period.
