In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Dehua white porcelain was fired from a transparent glaze with a porcelain containing low iron content. In the Ming Dynasty, Dehua white porcelain bones were white and solid, and the technical process of the glaze was the pursuit of the perfection of jade texture. It was unique in the dazzling porcelain.
The Chinese nation respects jade articles and has a long history. The admiration of jade, the porcelain used in life, strives to pursue the texture effect of jade, such as the Yue Kiln celadon, the fine kiln celadon, the fine kiln jade celadon, the kiln “flower porcelain ç¢çº¢çŽ‰â€, Known as "fake jade", "Ying Yuru jade" Jingdezhen green white porcelain and so on. Looking at these jade-like porcelains, although the craftsmanship is quite jade-like, it is too light and thin, lacking the dignity of jade. Until the Ming Dynasty, Dehua kiln used high-quality kaolin and other raw materials through repeated research and development experiments to produce a special "white porcelain": porcelain is dense, the glaze is pure white, seamless, clean and lubricious, such as fat like jade, the overall crystal Throughout, it further developed the perfection of the pursuit of jade texture to the peak of history, representing the highest level of Chinese white porcelain production at that time, called "China White." Once the products are sold to the international market, they are considered as treasures and they are competing for purchases. Mr. Cai Yuanpei, a well-known educator and a university student who has studied Chinese and Western cultures, once praised, "China can almost say
Dehua white porcelain is a country famous for its porcelain. In terms of the whiteness of porcelain, it is the first to push Dehua porcelain..."
Dehua white porcelain's fetal bones are soft and firm, commonly known as "glutinous rice tires", with a crystal luster. The glaze water is clean and thick and the fetal bones are tightly integrated. The color is warm and moist like jade, and the light is smooth and smooth, and the body is shining in the light. Underneath, you can see the shadows, and the sound of the sound is clear and melodious, just like tapping on the metal, it sounds loud. Its wonderful texture of enamel is similar to the "five virtues" of jade. Its appearance has caused great repercussions of porcelain. The domestic connoisseurs praised that "there is no open film, if it is creamy, it is like ivory light, such as 绢Fine water and thick." (Zhao Yuzhen compiled "Antiquities Guide") Xu Zhiheng "Drinking Sai Zhai said porcelain" is called "the post-producer is dehua, the color is very white, and quite bright, also known as Fu Kiln... White is quite like a kiln However, there is no opening film, the porcelain of the good is quite thick, and Qingli can see the finger pointing, and it is more expensive in the white. "Japanese scholars think it is "white eyebrow in porcelain", "if objective and fair If the attitude is given to the comments, the town is said to be more gorgeous than the white jade. In terms of pottery skills, it can be called the unique works of China's ancient and modern uniqueness. "There is no one who has no appreciation for ceramics. You can make a sound of appreciation. "Although the sidewall is thicker, it is more transparent than the lampshade... It shows a bright and beautiful muscle surface, which is called the world's first in terms of smoothness." (Ueda Kyoko, "Hands of the Ancient Chinese Ceramics Research"), European artists named it "Blanc de chine", "It is the top of Chinese porcelain, and it is not the same as other oriental porcelains. Such as milky white, like ivory." (France Bossier "Chinese Art")
Many pottery works in the Ming and Qing Dynasties often compare Dehua white porcelain with Ding kiln white porcelain and Yongle Xuande sweet white porcelain, or "built powder", or "class Yong, Xuanzhi sweet white." In fact, Dehua white porcelain is different from the white porcelain of Ding kiln and the sweet white porcelain of Jingdezhen. The chemical elements in the glaze are not only different in composition, but also the glaze layer is more pure in appearance. The combination of tire and glaze is firm and firm, and the color is moist and bright. The craft technology is more mature, and the crown of Chinese white porcelain is taken.
