Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji reigned for 10 years (1426-1435 AD), the fired blue and white porcelain is famous for its simple and elegant shape, crystal clear and colorful glaze, and colorful patterns. The firing technology of Xuande blue and white porcelain was the peak of the firing technology of blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, and is known as the "unexpected era".
Xuande official kiln blue and white carving vessels are all connected, and are bonded to form a vessel from the upper, middle and bottom.
The blue and white porcelain of official kilns during the Xuande period generally has signatures. The initial signatures were four characters "made in Xuande year" and were inserted into the blue and white patterns.
early versions are also used to identify the six-character "Made in the Ming Dynasty Xuande Period" in the patterned parts.
mid-term Xuande blue and white porcelain write horizontal and vertical patterns in the blank space at the bottom of the instrument.
For example: the cover and bottom of Xuande blue and white cricket jar are written in horizontal and vertical styles respectively.
Xuande mid-term blue and white porcelain generally writes horizontal or vertical patterns in the blank space at the bottom:
Lately writes two verticals in the double circle in the center of the bottom in the regular pattern.
Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain is based on one principle, which is to be written in the center of the left and right.
The main ingredients of the blue and white porcelain of Xuande official kiln are Su materials, and there are other ingredients. As long as there is Su material in the blue and white raw materials of porcelain, it will inevitably cause dizziness, and Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain is no exception. Therefore, there is also obvious or implicit diffuse in the blue and white areas of the blue and white porcelain of the Xuande official kiln.
The following editor uses the physical photos taken close-up photos to illustrate the dizziness of the blue and white porcelain of Xuande official kiln.
Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain old ware is new, and looks newer than the new blue and white porcelain that has been released from the kiln. No wonder it is known as "a strange thing that has never been seen in a generation." The superb firing technology of these Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelains has formed the degree of devitrification of today's porcelain, which has caused some outsiders who regard themselves as experts to think that the Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelains that look too new and too gentle as jade, so they think they are made in modern times, and they shouted "new" and made a fool of themselves.
Architectural artworks may be adapted to the ever-changing historical environment, and there may be some physical and chemical situations during this period, leaving traces of memory given by time. In ancient ceramic , old objects seen by the naked eye are the few that survive in a better environment. It is these old instruments such as new ancient ceramics that can be observed with a current microscope and will be able to find the corresponding characteristics of the corresponding types of porcelain.
History cannot be repeated, the historical environment cannot be reset, and the memory trace characteristics of ancient ceramics cannot be copied. This involves the body, glaze and pattern materials of various ancient ceramics fired and the corresponding historical environment experienced. Even if the so-called high imitators can analyze the main components of ancient ceramics and fire new porcelains similar to ancient ceramics, they cannot copy the memory traces of historical years. The so-called high imitation is just a trick to fool people. In addition, some so-called experts with platforms say nothing nonsense in order to boast about their own level: XXX can be imitated, the implication is that only one has the ability to distinguish and experience with naked eyes, and can be equally matched, but no one else can do it. Echoing the imitator's grille, the two almost became tigers.
History is dynamic and there is no stagnation for every minute. The long river of history is constantly rushing forward, and the historical experience of ancient ceramics is also constantly increasing and accumulating. Those who study imitation technology can study the yesterday of ancient ceramics, but there is no data to study and predict the tomorrow of ancient ceramics. History is relative and synchronized regardless of you and me. For all ancient ceramics, imitators will always lag behind.
Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain old ware is a well-known feature. However, the blue and white inside of the blue and white porcelain of Xuande official kiln that is invisible to the naked eye is a different scene.Observing the blue and white details of the blue and white porcelain of Xuande official kiln with a microscope, you can see the memories of the years given by history.
The editor strictly abides by the principle of letting facts explain and providing evidence with physical objects during the collection process.
Practice is the only way to test collection, and seeking truth is the original intention of ancient art collectors. Now, the editor has collected blue and white porcelains that are remembered by "Xuande Year" or "Xuande Year" in the Ming Dynasty. He used a 200-fold microscope to observe the blue and white details of the porcelain. The obvious traces of the years left in the blue and white porcelain found in the Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain were summarized. The images and pictures are as follows:
Before the porcelain is fired, bubbles will be generated during firing. As the sun changes, the heat changes, the cold comes, and the bubbles slowly deform over time, and some of them have some discoloration. This is related to the length of the history of porcelain, and Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain is no exception.
The special components of Xuande official kiln blue and white Su material formed after firing. After years of experience, it became today's image: white spots, sparse silk patterns, dense and messy silk patterns, a bit-shaped cluster patterns, round light-colored ball patterns, white ball patterns, etc.
The editor’s research today is yesterday of Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain. In the future, there will definitely be new historical traces of blue and white details, but it is definitely different from the detailed characteristics of modern imitation blue and white porcelain, because the materials and historical conditions of Xuande official kiln blue and white porcelain cannot be imitated in modern times. There is no need to say much here, porcelain can speak by itself.
