My system is not decent

Chen Wenzhe is already very familiar with the various characteristics of Yuan blue and white.

What he wants to figure out more now is the binary formula, and where to get Ma Cangtu and Su Ma Liqing.

He has studied these for a long time. If he wants to make some fine blue and white porcelain this time, he must slowly explore the craftsmanship from the beginning to the present.

Therefore, he will not simply imitate Yuan blue and white.

Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Five Dynasties, Tang and Song were the pioneering period, and the technology was not very good.

The Yuan Dynasty was a period of development and growth, and it was also a period of fame.

The Ming Dynasty was the period when blue-and-white porcelain reached its peak. Ming Yongle and Xuande periods were a peak in the development of blue-and-white porcelain, which was famous for its exquisite production.

The official kiln porcelain of this period was rigorous and exquisite in production;

Folk kiln wares are free and easy, and the pictures are freehand.

From the late Ming Dynasty, blue and white painting gradually absorbed some elements of Chinese painting techniques.

In the early Ming Dynasty, that is, the blue and white wares of the Hongwu Dynasty, there are large and small plates, bowls, plum vases, jade pots and spring vases.

The green materials used are mainly domestic materials, and a small amount of imported materials are not ruled out.

Some blue and white hair colors are light blue, and some are gray.

Some of the former have halo phenomenon.

The layout of the ornamentation is still the legacy of the multi-layered decoration of the Yuan Dynasty, and the themes have not changed much, but many details have changed:

For example, the middle stalk of a banana leaf is left white, and the white edge of the petals is more obvious than that of the Yuan Dynasty;

The "notched" parts of peony leaves are deeper, not as fat as those of the Yuan Dynasty;

The chrysanthemum is painted as "flat chrysanthemum", and the flower core is expressed in a square pattern;

The dragon pattern is still slender, but apart from three or four claws, five claws have appeared. The claws are shaped like wind wheels, and their momentum is not as fierce and vigorous as Yuanlong.

The Ruyi cloud head with auxiliary decoration is changed from the third-order cloud in the Yuan Dynasty to the second-order cloud;

The eight treasures of Buddhism are mostly painted in the lotus petal pattern, and the miscellaneous treasures of Taoism are mostly painted in the Yuan Dynasty.

Bowls and small plates are mostly painted with cloud patterns, which are only painted on the upper half of the outer wall of the utensil.

The bottom of the utensils is mostly flat-cut, and the sand bottom is unglazed, showing kiln red.

In addition to the characteristics, among the blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty, or the official kiln porcelain, there is no year mark, and there are very few utensils with the mark.

Of course, this point is not so absolute, especially things from the Hongwu period.

Is there such a thing as the "Made in Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty"? It is still difficult to determine until now.

Chen Wenzhe hadn't seen it either, so he was naturally not sure.

However, he knew that there were indeed such porcelains on the market.

Especially the underglaze red porcelain written in the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty, such as an eight-edged plum vase.

The decorations, painters, tire glaze, etc. on it all have the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.

And through lighting, it is found that the color of the tire is red, so is this porcelain a new imitation?

Many experts say categorically that this is a new imitation and a fake.

Why?This kind of inscription has never been found in previous archaeological excavations.

Especially in the major museums in China, there are no deposits for antiques that can be confirmed to be porcelain made in the Hongwu period.

However, it has never been discovered, which means there is no?

So, how can it be imitated to that extent?

Especially after turning on the lights, the tires will turn red, which is a characteristic of Ma Cang soil.

How can this be explained?Can't explain.

So now, it can only be explained that the inscriptions on Qingguan kiln porcelain began in Yongle.

Although Hongwu began to set up official kilns in the second year of Hongwu, formal archaeological discoveries of Hongwu's official kiln porcelain have not found a piece of money.

Therefore, if you see porcelain with the name "Made in the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty" or "Made in the Year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty", many experts now think that it must be an imitation, which has become a rule.

Of course, such obviously controversial porcelain should be rarely imitated.

Therefore, there are very few such things that can appear on the market!

There is another saying for such porcelain.

That is to say, the glaze is not produced by official kilns, especially the blue glaze is the most difficult to produce, so it is not from the Hongwu period, but from the later folk kilns.

It's just that, coincidentally, it is now said that porcelain made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty is rare in the market, but it is not rare, and there are more than one or two pieces.

I mentioned an underglaze red eight-edged plum vase earlier, but in addition to this, there is also an underglaze red dragon pattern plum vase made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

If this piece is real, then it is the most unique and mysterious Hongwu official kiln porcelain in the world.

Porcelain covered with orbs, have you seen it?

This sentence is the classic shape of this plum vase with red dragon pattern in the glaze.

When this piece of porcelain appeared in the industry at that time, many experts identified it through the whole porcelain.

Careful identification has been carried out from the bottle mouth, bottleneck, glaze surface, painting, ring foot, bottom, and peculiar phenomena inside the glaze layer.

The last special phenomenon is all kinds of colored pearls and aging glaze bubbles.

They conducted a comprehensive and multi-angle identification of these phenomena.

In this way, no major problems were found, so what should I say?

This so-called underglaze red dragon pattern plum vase made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty has six unique characteristics.

The first unique feature must be a piece of porcelain with the official kiln style of "Daming Hongwu Year System" discovered so far.

There is no data report on such porcelain, and all books and experts say that there is no official kiln porcelain made in the "Daming Hongwu Year".

Therefore, if this plum vase is authentic, it is a unique "Daming Hongwu Year" official kiln porcelain orphan.

Perhaps the folks still have official kiln porcelain made in the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty, which is not necessarily a plum vase, but it has not been found so far.

These are all assumptions, just listen to it, because Chen Wenzhe has never seen it.

Other features are the key points, such as the second most unique feature, which is the dragon with large nostrils, and the painting technique with strong three-dimensional effect.

This kind of dragon pattern and cloud pattern with strong three-dimensional effect is unique among all dragon pattern porcelains!

The third unique feature is that most of the glaze layer in the Hongwu period was devitrified glaze with thick glaze juice, grayish white, and slightly bluish, but the texture of jade was stronger.

And the glaze layer of this plum vase is very special, the glaze juice is thick, slightly bluish-yellow in the fragrant off-white, the glaze layer is devitrified, and lacks the texture of jade.

This glaze layer has never been seen before and after, unique!

The fourth unique feature is: gold, copper, silver, green, blue, blue-black, black beads in the glaze layer.

Beads of various colors appear at the same time, which is a unique and strange phenomenon in the world of porcelain.

The fifth unique feature is: there are gem-like crystal clear beads in the glaze layer, which is a unique and peculiar phenomenon.

The sixth unique feature is: aging glaze bubbles with various expressions and rich varieties.

If the unique characteristics of the second, third, fourth, and fifth are the products of modern people's fabrications.

Since it is a fabrication, it is naturally unique, and this can be established.

But what about the sixth characteristic?There are aging glaze bubbles of various shapes and varieties.

This is not easy, even if it is old-fashioned, it is very difficult to make the air bubbles in the glaze.
