My system is not decent

This egg white glaze dark flower double-ear flat bottle has a straight mouth, a slender body, and an elephant trunk ear on each side of the neck;

The carcass is white and thick, with devitrified bluish-white opaque glaze applied to the whole body, and the enamel is fine.

There are molded plum patterns on both sides of the abdomen, and embossed wishful cloud patterns on the shins and feet, which are faintly visible and set off against each other;

The high exposed tire line at the foot end presents a circle of kiln red, the foot end is cut flat, the body is stable, the neat and beautiful decoration is harmonious and unified with the soft glaze color.

"Egg white glaze" was created and fired in the Yuan Dynasty, and it got its name because the glaze is white and slightly green like a goose egg.

And because the Privy Council, the central organization of the Yuan Dynasty, was fired in Jingzhen, the utensils were inscribed with the word "Privy", also known as "Privy Glaze" porcelain.

Chen Wenzhe got some information about this kind of porcelain through the acquisition of the red jade pot and spring vase in blue and white glaze.

As long as he has the heart, he can even refire this kind of porcelain.

And this time he got a piece of classic egg white glazed porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty by accident, which made him even more interested in this kind of porcelain.

Because this kind of porcelain looks really beautiful.

Chen Wenzhe quickly checked the video and found that there were some white porcelain works in it, and he didn't know if it was egg white glazed porcelain.

After all, the porcelain looked a little dirty, otherwise he could easily identify it.

If it is real egg white glaze porcelain, it is relatively easy to identify.

Looking at the shape of the vessel, egg white glazed porcelain is mostly small.

Second, look at the body, the body of egg white glaze porcelain is thicker than that of blue and white porcelain.

Third, look at the glaze color. The egg white glaze is white and devitrified, without the glassy light of the bluish white glaze that is "bright as a mirror".

Four look at the ring foot, the egg white glaze porcelain ring foot is small, the foot wall is thick, and the foot is cut neatly.

The bottom feet are all exposed, and some bottoms have nipple protrusions and obvious swirling patterns.

Because of the upward firing method of cakes covered with sand and slag, in addition to iron spots, kiln slag often sticks to the bottom feet.

In addition, the inscription of the word "Private Office" on egg white glazed porcelain can be confirmed.

"Privy Council" is the abbreviation of the Privy Council, which was the highest military organ in the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty emphasized military affairs, and the power of the Privy Council can be imagined.

Privy egg white glazed porcelain is the porcelain custom-made by the Privy Council in Jingzhen Kiln.

The egg white glazed Shufu porcelain was supervised by the "Fuliang Porcelain Bureau" set up by the imperial court.

Among the egg white glazed porcelains of the Yuan Dynasty, there are also those with the inscription "Taixi" printed on them.

From this we can see that the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty loved egg white glazed porcelain.

Chen Wenzhe looked for it seriously, and he really found several exquisite items.

In particular, the "Original Egg White Glaze Printed Yunlong Taixi Plate" is a classic among the classics.

The center of this large plate is printed with a cloud and dragon pattern, the inner wall is printed with twined lotus flowers, and the eight treasures are placed on it, and the symmetrical characters "Tai" and "Xi" are printed between the patterns.

In addition to this large plate, there is also a white bowl of the same series, which should be the "Yuan Egg White Glaze Printed Folding Shufu Bowl".

The mouth of this bowl is slanted outward, the upper part of the abdominal wall is slightly slanted and straight, and the lower part is greatly retracted and bent.

This unique shape is probably more suitable for holding the bowl with your hand when drinking wine and milk while riding a horse.

The inner wall of the bowl is molded with six intertwined lotus flowers, the characters "shu" and "fu" are printed oppositely between the flowers, and four lotus flowers are printed on the inner bottom.

This rare "Shufu" porcelain folding waist bowl is 7.7 cm high, 19.3 cm in diameter, and 6.3 cm in foot diameter.

This device adopts printing technology to form a circle of fretwork on the inner abdominal wall, and the words "hub" and "fu" are printed on the corresponding places of the fretwork.

Below the back pattern is a circle of conjoined petal patterns, and the waist and the inner bottom form an oblique circle.

Inner printed cloud dragon pattern, dragon pattern small head, antlers, no hair, thin neck, slender and powerful body, three claws.

The dragon's body is covered with flame patterns, and it soars in the auspicious clouds with its head held high and its body curved, with a magnificent momentum.

This cloud dragon pattern is basically the same shape as the cloud dragon pattern of Yuan blue and white.

There is a string pattern on the abdomen of the outer wall of the device, which divides the abdomen into upper and lower layers.

On the abdominal wall, you can see the swirling pattern of drawing billet, and the body is covered with egg white glaze, the glaze color is duck egg blue, the glaze layer is devitrified, and the glaze surface is shiny.

The ring foot is thick and unglazed, the end of the foot is cut flat, the outside is cut with a knife, the inner wall is slightly inclined, and the bottom center has spiral patterns and milk nails.

The appearance of egg white glaze in the Yuan Dynasty laid the foundation for firing blue and white and underglaze red.

Although it gave way to blue and white porcelain, it is still praised by people in the history of my country's ceramic development.

The "Private House" porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty rarely showed its face in art auctions at home and abroad because there were very few products handed down from generation to generation.

Its market price can only be compared with the market price of Qingbai porcelain in Song and Yuan Dynasties and sweet white glazed porcelain in Ming Dynasty.

In July 2003, at the Hong Kong Christie's auction, a Ming Yongle sweet white glaze dark flower phoenix plate was sold for 7 Hong Kong dollars.

It is estimated from this that the market price of the exquisitely made "Private House" porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is also high.

You must know that this is the price of 20 years ago, and rare things are more expensive. As the "official" porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, "Private" porcelain will be further recognized by the collectors.

These "Shufu" porcelains of the Yuan Dynasty are well-made and high-quality, and are often decorated with printing. The motifs of the decorations are usually cloud dragons and twig-wrapped flowers.

Because the "Shufu" glaze is an opaque glaze, the decoration is not very clear.

Compared with the civilian egg white glazed porcelain, "Private House" porcelain is particularly delicate, with neatly trimmed feet and no glaze on the soles.

The bottom of the porcelain has a nail-shaped protrusion, and the carcass is moderately thick. It is known as a famous official vessel of the Yuan Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty’s "Xin Xin Ge Gu Yao Lun": "In the Yuan Dynasty, those who burned small foot prints were taller than those with Shufu characters inside." It shows that the egg white glaze ware with the inscription "Shufu" was already very precious in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. Excellent work.

However, there are no inscriptions on most of the utensils, so the entry of "Shufu Kiln" listed in the Qing "JDZ Taolu" should be inaccurate.

It is more appropriate to call this kind of utensils shufu utensils or egg white glaze utensils.

The kiln site for firing egg white glazed wares has been found in the Hutian area of ​​Jingzhen. The egg white glazed wares were fired from the Yuan Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty.

The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty favored egg white glazed porcelain, which should be related to the national custom of "Yuan people favor white".

The mysterious and dignified deprivation fits the military activities of the Privy Council and the sacrificial activities of the Taixi Court.

The Song Dynasty advocated the bluish-white porcelain that was as green as jade, and the Yuan Dynasty advocated the white and milky egg white glaze. The aesthetic trends of the times were quite different.

The innovation of Jingzhen kiln porcelain making technology caters to fashion and keeps pace with the times.

The reason why the kiln has been fired for thousands of years can also be found out from this.

The carcass of egg white glaze porcelain is delicate and white, but the carcass is thick, and the bottom feet of bowls and plates are even thicker.

The glaze color is moist and devitrified. It is a lime alkali glaze with low calcium content and high potassium and sodium content. This glaze has the characteristics of high viscosity and wide firing range.

The decoration of porcelain is mainly printed, and the pattern theme is relatively simple, and the most common pattern is the flower pattern.

In addition to flower patterns, there are also fine cloud dragon patterns, and the dragon has five claws.

"Yuan History Yufu Zhi": "The two-horned five-clawed dragon ministers are not allowed to use it."

It can be seen that any vessel with a five-clawed dragon printed on it should undoubtedly be court porcelain.

The products handed down from the Yuan Dynasty with five-clawed dragons are mainly egg white glaze ware.
