Kangxi Blue Glaze
Kangxi blue glaze was an important glaze color in Jingdezhen official kiln porcelain during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. I. Craftsmanship 1. ** Firing process ** - The blue glaze was a high-temperature lime soda glaze. After the green body was glazed, it was fired at a high temperature of 1280 - 1300 ° C. This firing method made the glaze not flow or crack, the color tone was even, and the color was relatively stable. 2. ** Glaze color performance ** - The color of the glaze was blue like the deep sea. The color was deep, the glaze was even, and the color was stable. Later generations called it "Ji Qing". Moreover, because its color was stable and bright like a gem, it was ranked alongside white glaze and red glaze, and was promoted as the three "top grade" of Xuande color glazed porcelain. During the Kangxi period, the sacrificial blue and blue and white flowers used materials with a high content of Cobalt. The hair color was strong, and the glaze was thin and smooth, giving people a sense of elegance. 3. ** Production Skill Level ** - During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, porcelain making skills reached an unprecedented height, and blue glazed porcelain was no exception. They displayed superb skills in terms of styling, decorative patterns, and glaze color. During this period, blue glazed porcelain was commonly seen in official kiln color glaze, blue and white, underglazed red porcelain and colored porcelain, most of which were written in two lines of six-character regular script. II. Usage and Model 1. ** Usage * - The traditional use of blue glazed porcelain was partially continued during the Kangxi period. From a historical point of view, the blue glazed porcelain was mainly used as sacrificial vessels and furnishings in the early and middle Ming Dynasty. In the Kangxi period, it still had the function of sacrificial vessels and furnishings. For example, in the royal sacrificial vessels, blue glazed porcelain was also used. 2. ** Styling ** - During the Kangxi period, there were many kinds of blue glazed porcelain, such as long-necked bottles, plates, bowls, plum bottles, elephant ear cong bottles, gold-painted appreciation bottles, etc. The long-necked vase had a straight mouth and a thin neck, a bulging belly and a circular foot, and the outer wall was covered with a blue glaze. III. Comparisons with other periods - Compared to the beautiful colors of the early and middle Ming Dynasty blue glazed porcelain using Su materials and Hui Qing materials, due to the difference in the Cobalt materials, the blue glaze of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty was not the same color as the Ming Dynasty, but it still had its own unique elegance. Moreover, compared to the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, the color of the sacrificial blue glaze in the Kangxi period was more elegant. The use of tungsten materials in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods changed, and the iron content in the tungsten materials increased again. Although the color of the blue glaze was dark blue and the glaze color was gorgeous, it was not as elegant as the Kangxi period. IV. Collection Value - The blue-glazed porcelain made in the Kangxi era had a high collection value. On the one hand, the porcelain production skills during the Kangxi period were superb, and the artistic value of the blue glazed porcelain was high. On the other hand, this kind of porcelain was a precious item at that time, and now it was a popular collection in the collection world. With the increasing emphasis on traditional culture, the demand for Kangxi blue glazed porcelain was also increasing, further emphasizing its collection value.
