Glaze color as a porcelain appreciation term, ceramic lovers must often hear. However, for the classification of glaze color, there are many people who do not know much, such as multicolor, bucket color, pastel, light color, etc., these all belong to glaze color porcelain? How should colored porcelain be classified?
Today, let's introduce it to you one by one
First, colorful
Multicolor, also known as hard color, belongs to a kind of glaze color. The color of the multicolor is relatively hard, the color is not rich, the painting is mainly flat painted, not rendered, there is no distinction between thickness and lightness. Multicolor is not limited to five colors, and the subdivision can be divided into two kinds: blue and white five colors and pure glaze five colors.
Among them, the blue and white multicolor is easily confused with the doucai. Among the common multicolor, blue and white are only used as cyan, and there is no contour line around the pigment.
2. Doucai
Doucai is generally made by drawing contour lines with blue and white under the glaze, and then filling the blue and white hook lines with color materials and baking them at low temperature.
3. Enamel color
Enamel color is also called material color, the glaze has an oil texture and glass texture, three-dimensional strong, but no powder texture. Painters use the rendering method.
Because the process of making enamel color does not use the lead oxide process, there is no clam light on the utensils. The contour line of the drawing is relatively clear and the color material has good fluidity, and the picture is clear and pure.
4. Pastels
Pastel, also called "soft color," was created and burned from the late Kangxi Dynasty to the later dynasties. The green and yellow colors of the pastel are easy to see the light of clams. When painting in pastels, it is necessary to use a glass white base, and then use the boneless painting method to paint the color material. (Note: The boneless painting method is a painting method that does not use ink lines to outline and directly paints objects with color.) ）
The color of the pastel is soft and rich, and the color is applied with the rendering technique of Chinese painting, so there are many color scales, the excessive effect is obvious, and the three-dimensional sense is strong. But pastel rendering cannot be full pastel. Before the Republic of China, the alum red color must be multicolored, and if the alum red color is found to be pink or vitrified, this thing must be fired with modern technology. This is also an important way to identify old and new pastels.
Fifth, light color
Qiancai is a new type of colored porcelain created and fired in The Jingdezhen kiln in the late Qing Dynasty. It uses the traditional Chinese painting technique and color varieties to outline and slightly rub the outline with ink, and renders it with light ochre and flower blue as the main rendering of painting decoration applied to porcelain.
The common light color porcelain is painted with themes such as landscapes, figures, feathers and so on, and the combination of poetry and calligraphy is combined, and the literary personality is distinct.
Sixth, new pastels
The new pastel is the method of painting porcelain with light color, and the method of painting colored porcelain with pastel as the color material. The new pastel porcelain paintings are set in a clear and elegant color, lush and energetic, and the colors are gorgeous.
The painting of the new pastel porcelain tested the master's skill and painting skills, so it was mostly painted by the famous porcelain painters at that time. Like the light pastel porcelain, most of the works are signed with famous models and annual models. The daily and decorative porcelain painted in new pastel paintings is full of literati interest and is therefore more attractive than other glazed porcelain, including light porcelain.
