Lift enamel,
I believe that Shanghainese must have special feelings!
It was the 1970s and 1980s
The most sought-after daily necessities,
It is also a must on many people's marriage lists!
But now,
Enamel products are almost slowly disappearing in
In our lives.
Friends who want to find this memory,
Here's the good news.
Shanghai has a free enamel museum!
Walk a few hundred meters from Jiayi Road Station on Line 14 to 153 Jiayi Road, Shanghai Enamel Museum. It is a private museum opened by the last enamel factory director himself and is open to the public free of charge. Walking into it, you can see a lot of enamel products in your memory.
At the Centennial Enamel Museum,
You can see everything you can imagine
The appearance of enamel supplies.
In addition to the daily washbasin and mouth cup,
There are also many precious historical treasures.
Have you ever seen an enamel washbasin painted with ink paintings?
This is a trip to Shanghai in the past
Best souvenir!
At the West Lake Exposition in 1929
Used enamel souvenirs
During the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Shanghai Enamel Factory rushed to make a condolence cup
Now marriage is popular to ring to the table,
And a lot of families at the time,
Be sure to customize the enamel "pair of pots".
There was an aunt who found it at once
"Same paragraph" when they were married
With 3 months' salary,
Send a set of "enamel six-piece set" produced in Shanghai
As a dowry,
It is the most anticipated gift for many newcomers.
At that time, the most popular was "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousands of Reds"
"Ten Thousand Purples and Thousands of Reds" was one of the best-selling small supporting products in the enamel industry that year. It produces 20,000 sets per year and has been produced continuously for 18 years. The reason why it can win the favor of consumers is inseparable from the painstaking efforts of its designer Mu Yilin behind it.
Using the panes of the Suzhou garden as elements, it pioneered the addition of a painting style to the side of the washbasin. Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are used as metaphors for spring, summer, autumn and winter; each side of the "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds" basin has a different pattern design.
The peony flowers in the middle are not all big red,
It also mixed in a little blue.
Make the flowers look
It's colorful but it's also very stable.
Such a clever idea
Make this product at the time
It has received very hot recognition.
Mu Yilin has successively designed Wan Zi Qianhong, Hua Hao Yue, Hibiscus Mandarin Duck, Bamboo Peony, Money Peony, etc. for Shanghai Enamel Sixth Factory, a series of small matching gold depiction products. It was praised by the industry at that time as "five golden flowers".
And in the data room here,
We also see more
Enamel paintings from different eras.
Below is a hand-drawn manuscript from 1940
Shanghai enamel produced in 1940,
There are already readable little scenes like comic strips.
The children's dress and movements in the painting,
With traces of the society of the time.
Flipping through these drawings from different eras,
As if a condensed historical moment,
Reproduce in front of your eyes.
In this century-old enamel museum,
With traces of living temperature and age
Old enamel,
It bears the imprint of the times.
Each one carries its own time
Soaked in good memories.
