"Hey, good luck, good luck"
If the grandfathers hadn't gone, I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity. Wang Yu began to be sloppy when he heard the compliments.
"Come on, you're just a little devil"
As soon as we talked about business with you, you started to look at me carelessly. I will wait and see when you will tell us the truth. At this time, Mr. Xiao also laughed and scolded Wang Yudao.
How much do the three grandfathers know about this porcelain from the Qing Dynasty? At this time, Wang Yu began to change the topic to avoid leaking the truth. After all, these three people were all human beings.
We have a more or less understanding of the Qing Dynasty. After all, they are very close on the timeline, and we should be considered half of the people in that late period, Mr. Li said.
Since I don't do these things often, I started to read some information from the Qing Dynasty. As a result, I found that Qianlong was the real "king". Wang Yu paused and said again.
I also read some information a few days ago and gained a better understanding of the development of blue and white porcelain during the Qing Dynasty.
In the late Ming Dynasty, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it also experienced more than 10 years of development and adopted a series of policies and measures to restore agricultural production.
This led to the rapid recovery of the economy at that time and created conditions for the development of handicraft industry, allowing the porcelain industry in the Qing Dynasty to continue to develop on the basis of the Ming Dynasty.
The name Jingdezhen is even more closely associated with porcelain, and it continues to be the center of the porcelain industry in China, representing the highest level of firing of ancient porcelain in China at that time.
By the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties, the development of the porcelain industry in the Qing Dynasty had reached its peak. Judging from the types at that time, various varieties of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty advanced hand in hand, and many new porcelain products were created.
However, no matter in terms of quantity or firing level, the porcelain industry in the Qing Dynasty was still dominated by blue and white porcelain, and its firing also reached a very high level.
At present, there are many fake blue and white porcelains on the market, but there are not many real blue and white porcelains fired at that time on the market. Wang Yu paused and said.
In terms of shape, the blue and white bowls of the Qianlong period are relatively standardized, finely made, and have clumsy lines. The thickness of large vessels is even, and the base is polished to look like a loach's back. The bottom is larger, and the most common shape is a bowl with an open mouth and a deep belly.
There are also many blue and white bowls that imitate Xuande vessels, but do not retain the mark. If you see a Xuande blue and white bowl without the mark, it is most likely that it was imitated during the Qianlong period.
In addition, judging from the size of the blue and white bowl, there is a rough standard for the size of the Qianlong blue and white bowl, as stated in the "Imprint of Imperial Ritual Vessels" "The grand flower porcelain bowl has a diameter of one foot and one inch and seven inches, and a height of five and three inches." wait".
This regulation has been in place since the Kangxi period. In the Qing Dynasty, the blue and white bowls fired in the imperial kilns did have corresponding regulations on the size.
However, the shapes of folk blue and white bowls are relatively diverse. There are not many bowls that fully meet this requirement, and the sizes of the bowls vary.
The blue and white bowls used for commercial use have a shallow belly in order to hold less food, so that the profit will be greater.
Judging from the green material, the blue and white bowls of the Qianlong period were mostly made of Zhejiang material, which was pure blue, with bright green and gorgeous color. It was difficult to distinguish between shades and shades, and most of them imitated Xuande bowls.
Artificially dyed rust-like black spots in the blue and white, compared with the rust spots in the Xuande blue and white, it looks impetuous, the color is unstable, and there is a halo phenomenon.
There are air bubbles on the bottom of the glaze, and the glaze is white with a bluish tint, all of which are covered with glaze. There are also some imitation Chenghua bowls that are cyan, with an elegant and peaceful color.
Qianlong's blue and white porcelain is distinguished by its variety, which can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming. Its varieties include blue and white with alum and red color, blue and white with bean green on the outside, blue and white on the outside and underglaze, Ge glazed blue and white, and bean green glazed blue and white.
Among them, blue and white doucai exquisite porcelain, yellow ground blue and white, yellow ground blue and white with carmine, and light blue and white filled with green color were the first creations of Qianlong.
From the decorative point of view, the blue and white bowls of the Qianlong period still have the legacy of the Ming Dynasty, with complicated contents, combined use of dyeing, smooth lines, neat brushes, old-fashioned patterns, and lack of vitality.
The utensils are fully painted, and some of them are imitated and have a sparse layout. The decorations mainly include entangled branches, broken branches and fruits, clouds and dragons, landscapes, figures, flowers and various auspicious patterns.
In addition, Qianlong liked to burn his own poems on blue and white porcelain, which is an important feature of the decoration of Qianlong's blue and white bowls. Qianlong's blue and white bowls also liked to use Sanskrit as decoration, and they were usually decorated on the outer walls of the blue and white bowls.
Judging from the inscription, the official kiln inscription of the Qianlong blue and white bowl is "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty", which is written in seal script and regular script.
The writing is standard, rarely sloppy, and the lines are quite smooth. It should be written by someone with strong calligraphy skills. There are also many imitations among the people.
But it can be seen from the blurred handwriting.
In addition, many of the Qianlong blue and white bowls have forgeries, and there are also a small number of imitations of Chenghua, Zhengde, and Jiajing styles. The Ming Dynasty imitations are easy to identify, but the authenticity is difficult to distinguish.
However, compared with the Ming Dynasty's inscriptions, they appear weak and restrained. They are not as bold as the Ming Dynasty's inscriptions. They are mostly written in iron wire seals. The writing is neat, slender, graceful and weak, and most of them are in the pavilion style.
That's probably it. After I learned about this information, I was also very interested in the emperor Qianlong. At first, we were not born in the same era.
Otherwise, I will have two drinks with Emperor Qianlong, Wang Yu said jokingly at this time.
Ouch, I didn't expect that you kid was trying to fill up the knowledge when we didn't know. Yes, that's how you should do it. Mr. Li was also praising Wang Yu at this time.
Xiao Yu is right. During the Qing Dynasty, blue and white porcelain developed rapidly mainly in the middle and early stages, but it failed overall in the later stages.
At that time, the "isolation of the country" was still very powerful, and it was also the main reason for backwardness. This was followed by invasion by various countries and the signing of a series of treaties.
In fact, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was no blue and white porcelain being produced, and the world would be in chaos, He Feng also said.
So a few people discussed the craftsmanship and agricultural development of the Qing and Ming dynasties in the room. But there are things that are right and there are things that are wrong.
Wang Yu was mainly listening. After all, the clairvoyance eye only reacts to objects. It only stores such information, and there is no reaction at all.
So Wang Yu also took this opportunity to listen carefully to the three old men's stories, and only ended the topic when they talked about the Yuan Dynasty.
Mainly because it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the four of them's stomachs began to growl, so the four of them tidied up.
As for the wine bottle that Wang Yu brought back, as expected, Mr. Li took it away. Mr. Li really fell in love with the shape of the bronze wine bottle.
Then the four of them went downstairs to the first floor to prepare for dinner. I didn't go out, but simply ate in the hotel restaurant.
After all, the three old men don't eat much at night and pay great attention to maintenance.
