My system is not decent

Compared with the five-color and bucket-colored wares of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the plain three-color glaze is hung on the plain body.

The five colors and bucket colors are colored glazes applied on the fired glaze body.

Secondly, most plain tricolor patterns are represented by conical engraving, and the craftsmanship is a bit rough.

Of course, except for the combination of "plain tricolor" and "pastel".

On the other hand, Wucai and Doucai use black color, blue and white to draw outlines, and the patterns are extraordinarily delicate.

Therefore, the painting artistic attainments of five-color and bucket-colored wares in the same period are also better than those of plain three-color wares.

The evolution of the three-color porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties can be seen that it slowly developed and expanded in the Yongxuan Yuchang in the early Ming Dynasty, and formed a larger scale in the Chenghua period.

Subsequently, the innovation and popularization of bucket color and multicolored porcelain made it lose its advantage for a while.

The production of Kangxi imperial factory in the early Qing Dynasty brought it to a climax. During the Yongzheng period, it was even combined with other emerging colored porcelain crafts for innovation.

In the historical stage where various ceramic crafts are constantly advancing, "plain three-color" is also gradually reformed and updated amidst several ups and downs.

In fact, its production process is also very simple, which is to infiltrate the ground china clay to make mud.

Afterwards, the eucalyptus is drawn on the clay body, and then the surface is coated with glaze slurry, and then fired in a kiln to become the underglaze color.

The other is to fire the porcelain body at 700-800C to form a biscuit body.

Then apply the high-temperature glaze made of metal oxide on the green tire, and then fire it twice with a high-temperature oxidizing flame at 1080C.

"Boss, we are about to enter the cabin, do you want to take a look!"

Just when Chen Wenzhe wanted to study the firing process of plain three-color porcelain once again, Gao Qijing once again walked into the cabin where the salvaged porcelain was stored.

"Cleared?"

"Yes, but the overall salvage is not enough, it can only be demolished."

The two walked into the radar cabin while walking.

Looking at the pictures taken by the underwater robot, Chen Wenzhe felt a little pity.

Another ancient shipwreck is buried here, and countless pieces of broken porcelain are scattered on the seabed around the wreckage.

On the other display, it was in the dark cabin.

At this time, following the shaking of the picture, Chen Wenzhe has discovered a large part of the porcelain.

He could see that a large part of the china was broken before the ship sank.

The fragments of the bottom of the ship near the porcelain fragments are intact, but elsewhere only the keel of the ship can be seen, and the connecting plates are all missing.

Later, more fragments of porcelain and ballast were found under large pieces of hull plating.

All the above signs indicated that the ship had been exploded first.

A large amount of porcelain and ballast, therefore, first leaked to the bottom of the sea.

The hull then sank to the bottom of the sea and was pressed against tiles and other things.

This ship is not big, but it carries a lot of porcelain, it seems that at least not less than [-] pieces.

However, most of these porcelains were destroyed.

In addition, it has been stolen for several days, and what can be seen now are almost all fragments.

Chen Wenzhe also wanted the pieces, so the first thing to clean up was the pieces of porcelain crushed by the wreckage of the ship.

Soon, the pieces of broken porcelain that came out of the boat reached 9583 kilograms.

Looking at the shape and weight of the vessel, Chen Wenzhe estimated that there are at least 80 pieces of porcelain, but unfortunately [-]% of them have been broken.

There are not many with a damage degree of less than 50%, so seven or eight thousand pieces can be selected with such ease.

And there are still 20.00% of the piled up in this batch of broken porcelain pieces.

Among the 20.00 pieces of porcelain, there are [-] to [-] pieces piled up here, which is not a lot of [-]%, and there are seven to eight thousand pieces.

And these can be said to be Clark porcelain, these are the spoils that the Dutch wanted to intercept at sea.

It's a pity that the ship was completed, and the booty also entered the seabed together with the sinking ship, where it stayed for three or four hundred years.

Among so many porcelains, Jingzhen blue and white porcelain is still the main one, which is the so-called Clark porcelain.

There are quite a few typical blue and white porcelains, such as the Ming blue and white double phoenix pattern Clark porcelain plate. The diameter of this plate is 31cm, the bottom diameter is 16cm, and the height is 5cm, which is really not small.

Others include a Ming blue and white lotus pond patterned Clark plate with a diameter of 31cm, a bottom diameter of 17cm and a height of 5cm.

These types of utensils should be the fine products of folk kilns in the late Ming Dynasty, or they can be said to be the collection of blue and white.

The reason why I understand it so clearly is because this kind of porcelain was also salvaged on the Wanli ship back then.

Stan, the salvager of the "Wanli" shipwreck, brought the salvaged Clark porcelain to Jingzhen, the "Porcelain Capital" of our country, in August 2005.

In several abandoned ancient kiln sites, he found some pieces of porcelain very similar to shipwreck porcelain, confirming that the batch of porcelain was a Jingzhen product in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

Influenced by traditional cultural concepts during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, most of the decorations on these porcelains are based on Buddhism, Taoism, Yin Si and traditional auspicious themes of our country.

In particular, the widespread spread of auspicious culture reflects people's hopeful psychology.

For example: disease elimination, disaster prevention, auspiciousness, more children and more blessings, longevity, etc., enable people to obtain psychological comfort.

Its decoration and vessel shape also incorporate a variety of styles, giving people a unique aesthetic enjoyment.

At this time, the batch of porcelain in front of Chen Wenzhe's eyes has been soaked in seawater for a long time, and the glaze has been eroded to varying degrees.

In terms of workmanship, it is also difficult to compare with the porcelain of Ming and Qing official kilns, but the historical and cultural value behind them cannot be underestimated.

This kind of porcelain can be said to be a good physical witness of my country's export porcelain.

With the release of a large number of complete vessels, Chen Wenzhe became more certain that these porcelains should be the same as those released from the wreck of the "Wanli".

The porcelains exported at that time were mainly household utensils.

Although the types of utensils are relatively rich, they cannot get rid of plates, bowls, saucers, cups, lid boxes, military holders, bottles, pots and other commodities.

The characteristics of the times of these porcelains are very obvious.

For example, plates and saucers, which are porcelains with the largest amount of water from shipwrecks.

The mouth of the dish is divided into a petal mouth and a round mouth. The largest diameter is 33 cm, and the smaller diameter is called a dish.

There are round, rhombus, fan-shaped, strip-shaped and peach-shaped consecrations for the center and edge of the dish and the inner bottom of the dish.

The patterns are decorated with flowers and plants, animals, dark eight immortals, grass insects, flowers and birds, melons and fruits, etc.

For example, a Clark porcelain plate with blue and white double phoenix patterns, at first glance, it was produced in the Ming Dynasty.

This blue-and-white plate is painted with a blue-and-white brocade ground and octagon-shaped consecration on the inner bottom. The theme of the consecration is decorated with two phoenix mouths containing fairy grass following each other, and the tail of the phoenix is ​​wrapped around the auspicious clouds.

The phoenix is ​​the patron saint imagined by people. Although it is a fictitious creature that does not exist in fact, it is the object of worship by our ancient ancestors.

People believe that it can bring light and happiness, and it means peace and auspiciousness in the world.

In addition to this kind of things with typical national characteristics, other porcelains with peony patterns are naturally not uncommon.

It is like a Ming blue and white peony plate with a diameter of 21.5cm, a bottom diameter of 13cm and a height of 3.5cm.

Inside the double circle at the bottom of the inner bottom, three blooming blue and white peonies are painted.

Such patterns are not uncommon no matter which dynasty the porcelain was made in!
