My system is not decent

Blue and white shadow celadon, why is it called innovation?And why is it causing a stir?

Because this is a fine work integrating traditional blue and white, shadow blue and engraved flowers.

The delicate blue and white flowers, the crystal clear dark engraved patterns, and the shadow blue glaze that turns blue from the middle, set off each other and make each other shine.

This is not easy, otherwise it would not have waited until the founding of New China before inventing and creating it.

And these are all precious treasures left to us by our ancestors.

Just like the Yi Nian Tang Ceramics Factory at this time, as long as any technology is overcome, a large number of exquisite products can be obtained.

Just like shadow celadon, there are too many varieties, and after production, it must be enduring in the market for a long time!

There is no way, it is just a shadow celadon, and there are too many types of utensils that can be produced.

"Yingqing" has a very rich variety of shapes, mainly including plates, bowls, washers, cups, bowls, boxes, bottles, jugs, cans, pillows, Zhuzi, Boshan stoves, animals, plastic figures and so on.

Also, the historical period of the imitation is different, even if it is just a shadow celadon, the shape of the vessel is different, and they all have various characteristics.

Judging from the investigation of the kiln site discovered so far and the unearthed situation of the chronological tomb, the initial creation period of "Yingqing" porcelain was from the Jianlong period of Song Taizu to the Dazhong Xiangfu period of Song Zhenzong.

During this period, the output was small, and the types of utensils were simple, mainly bowls, plates, plates, etc., as well as boxes, bowls, Zhuzi, Zhuwan, etc.

The shape of the utensils mostly inherited the legacy of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. The utensils are low in shape, wide in ring feet, and thick in lips and walls.

In order to prevent deformation during firing, a thick pattern is often left under the rim of the utensils. This practice still exists today, commonly known as "mouth support mud".

There are also some shapes that imitate metal wares, such as the melon-shaped pot body, the slender and curved pot flow, the ridge line of the abdominal wall of the dish, and the bowls and plates are mostly made of five or six flower openings.

During the reign of Song Zhenzong Tianxi to Song Shenzong Xining, the production of "Yingqing" porcelain increased greatly, and the types of wares also varied.

The products of this period are mostly wide-mouthed and small-bottomed, the ring foot is narrow and high, the curvature of the wall is increased, and the carcass is mostly thin at the top and thick at the bottom, which is in sharp contrast to the thick lip of the previous period.

Most of the utensils are plates, plates and bowls.

Basins, stoves, bowls, jars, bowls, cup holders, boxes, Zhuzi, Zhuwan, plate cups, table cups, etc. are more common, and stacked plastic bottles are also occasionally unearthed.

Among them, the Zhuzi and the Zhuwan are a set of wine vessels for supporting use.

Zhuzi meanders with a handle, the body of the pot is melon-shaped, the top of the lid is decorated with lion buttons, and the bowls are mostly in the shape of an upside-down lotus.

The shape of the whole vessel is vivid, just like a lotus flower that is about to be released. It is a common thing in the lives of citizens in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Panzhan and Taizhan are wine utensils used in conjunction with Zhuzi and Zhuwan, which are equivalent to modern wine glasses.

In addition to various types of large utensils, there are also various decorations.

The combination of shape and decoration makes the shadow celadon more varied.

The "Yingqing" decorations are mainly engraved, scratched, printed, and a small amount of piled plastic patterns.

Most of the early utensils had no decoration, or a small number of extremely simple patterns, such as creeper patterns and water ripples.

After the middle period, the patterns appeared complicated, and a large number of engravings and printings appeared.

The common ones are chrysanthemum petal pattern, lotus petal pattern, pomegranate flower, hibiscus flower, daylily pattern, cloud dragon pattern, dragon wearing twig flower, twig lotus pattern, twig chrysanthemum, twig peony, wind wearing peony, baby playing peony, Wave pattern, wave five fish pattern, water wave double fish pattern, lotus pond double fish pattern and so on.

Most of the engraved and scratched flowers of "Yingqing" have a concise composition, giving people a sense of elegance.

For example, the wave pattern, only use the comb tool to scratch a few times on the vessel at will.

Then use a pointed tool to draw a few random arcs on it.

In this way, a picture of a surging water wave emerges.

If you add a few small fish, it will be more interesting.

And the baby playing peony is also more exquisite, generally showing two children chasing the pattern among the peony flowers.

The craftsman's knife is skillful, smooth and powerful.

The innocent, lively, romantic and lovely image of the baby is portrayed

Come to life.

These are considered to be the best of the shadow celadon, and now, as long as the famous porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty is mentioned, there is another kind of shadow celadon that has to be mentioned, and that is the melon-shaped lid box.

This bluish-white glaze is a typical glaze color in the Song Dynasty, and its thin glaze layer and almost bodiless firing process make it as delicate as Hetian jade.

The porcelain bones can be seen through the light, which is really amazing.

The lid box is one large and one small, all in the shape of a pumpkin, along the up and down melon-shaped stripes, with convex ridges on the outer wall and small circle feet.

In the heart of the cover box, the lotus pattern is drawn with the grate technique.

The fetal bone is white, the enamel is thin and crystal clear, the texture is like white jade, and the carcass is extremely thin.

The dark withered pattern on the vessel can be seen inside and outside, on the edge of the pattern, there is a little light blue shadow, and the rest is almost white.

Therefore, it is also known as Yingqing, Yingqing, Yinqing, and Coverqing.

In the northern collection market in the 21st century, there are very few Yingqing porcelains from the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

The reason is that porcelain lovers in the north are not very familiar with Yingceladon from the south.

In addition, there are too many fakes, and I think the best way to protect myself is not to care about them.

In fact, as long as you master the characteristics of the body, glaze and craftsmanship of the above-mentioned shadow celadon, it is easy to identify.

It is of little significance to master the types of utensils, because antiquers generally have a good grasp of various types of utensils.

In case of rare and special shapes, be cautious.

Of course, the identification also needs to master the general techniques of fraud, otherwise it is very likely to take medicine to get eyes.

Picking up a finished lid box, Chen Wenzhe carefully observed it.

Obviously, this is the proud work of the craftsman not far away, otherwise it would not be placed here for people to learn to imitate.

Looking at Yingqing, first look at the glaze color, then the embryo making, and finally the shape and decoration of the vessel!

The feel and appearance of the enamel of shadow celadon is like green and white jade, which is the first thing to consider when appraising shadow celadon in Song Dynasty.

If it is dry and dull, the glaze surface is rough, or on the contrary, it is too bright and smooth, you should be cautious.

Another example is the fetal color of shadow celadon, which is white and delicate, and washed finely.

Some utensils are so fine that they are almost bodiless.

However, in the process of blank making and glazing, unevenness often occurs, the blank body is thick and thin, and the glaze surface is flowing.

Therefore, if the carcass is too fine and white, the shape is like powder, and the exposed carcass and glaze are smooth and flawless, you must be careful.

Another example is its decoration, which has obvious characteristics of the times.

Shadow celadon in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and similar utensils in the Yuan Dynasty, the patterns are not as good as those in the Southern Song Dynasty;

If you encounter the character story pattern on the blue and white of the Xiangyuan, it is obviously doubtful.

The bottom of the Yingqing porcelain in the Song and Yuan dynasties has obvious characteristics of the times.

The bottom of the Yingqing porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty is relatively high, followed by the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is very short in the Yuan Dynasty, even touching the bottom, and the bottom has different colors.

Therefore, it is definitely not that simple to successfully imitate a famous historical porcelain.

Taking shadow celadon bowls as an example, there are still many differences between fakes and genuine ones.
