Lang Green Blue and White Porcelain Kiln

Lang Green Blue and White Porcelain Kiln

Lang Lang is a porcelain kiln-ting a (word-heng, purple) Duzao the success of the products in the Kangxi period, he served as governor of Jiangxi, because of his love ancient ceramics, ceramics for a great deal of research, the Kangxi Emperor, he played a strong, in the Kangxi 44 years - 51 years 7 years, the Governor of Jingdezhen porcelain shoulder of the officer level, so in this period Yuyao plant products in Jingdezhen, known as Lang was all kiln. Qing Guan-bound to be in this direction, but the Green kiln Lang, Lang did not leave a red kiln kiln, but the collection industry recognized that it is a unique non-section kiln.

Kangxi products with all-green glaze kiln Lang Apple see high respect 12.6cm, diameter 8cm, foot diameter 7.3cm, it is the shape of regulation, research work, fine matrix, uniform thickness, can be seen in the upper abdomen then horizontal marks birth, fetal exposure Department has "red flint." As the statue is handed down goods, so glazed left Cahen many years to come.

Lang Kiln Green is lime glaze containing copper oxide, oxidation in the atmosphere of a green, belonging to the copper green glaze. After the glaze is usually linked by the high temperature of about 1300 degrees from burning, but because of complexity of the process, the firing temperature control is extremely difficult to burn out the ideals and an emerald green glazed porcelain, a very low yield, so keep a very small amount of the world, and often the product Mainly to small pieces. From the existing tiles, in kind, Lang Kiln Green obviously has the following characteristics:

First, Lang kiln green uniform thin layer, the stability of the glaze, was green, beautiful clear, there are more glazed glass-like gloss, like a jade-like feel. Lang in the same kiln in green glaze is a good deal is that.

Second, in close Youxia Agency MATRIX film full of fine lines, known as the "winged flies." 10 times with a magnifying glass to scrutinize, in the small-glazed can be seen on the small little bit, I think it might be in the high-temperature firing process, the glaze by small bubbles formed.

Third, in-Office, there are enough at the end of the last lap but down enough to glaze, commonly known as "Lang does not flow," but very natural glaze down neatly, seems to be a kind of glaze to flow before the end of full drag, however only a feeling, thick enamel glaze to deepen Department, A dark green.

Fourth, Quanzu loach was back, for the walls inside the arch, with adequate facilities at the end of white flash of green-glazed, low-paragraph two-blue-and-white circle shows.

Fifth, Qing-white glaze inside, the thicker layer of enamel, without opening film, with the glaze at the end of his foot inside the green-glazed white flash was more visible difference. There is obviously rim around white powder known as the "light side grass."

Apple green this respect, from its matrix, the shape, hair color, as well as a variety of blue-and-white glaze with a clearly Kangxi porcelain features, but at present virtually no green porcelain kiln Lang on the details of the article, the experts are also very Less mentioned, but I think the Kangxi and green or green glaze kiln Lang significant differences. When I have a collection of Emperor Kangxi in green bottles, the whole pot from the mouth to a time when adequate facilities are green glaze, enamel layer of uneven thickness, and there are a number of leakage points glaze; Lang kiln green glaze with basically the same, but the glaze No fine lines under the opening film.

I always like to single Seyou, this kiln Lang Green Apple Blue and White Porcelain statue, collection of more than 30 years ago, in kind from the Department rim, it's "grass edge lights," Process is: In the first hanging white rim, and then In the external green cover, with respect in the last Qing-white glaze, the glaze is the number of hours to complete. Of course, because of the Green Blue and White Porcelain kiln is firing a specific age, I guess the "grass edge lights," Process is also produced in the process of gradually improved to perfection. Lang Kangxi Blue and White Porcelain Kiln Green "fly wing", "Lang does not flow," "light grass edge" of the three major characteristics of this identification is an important basis for the real thing. I believe that with the Shanghai academic study of ancient ceramics in-depth exploration of the ancient mystery of ceramics will eventually come out in the world.
