Ming and Qing porcelain identification method

The Ming and Qing dynasties and Qing dynasties are the key items for modern people to appreciate. Ancient porcelain collectors loved blue flowers. The artifacts passed down from the official kilns and good quality products are now rare. When they see it, the prices will be too high for ordinary people to bear. In order to prevent the purchase of counterfeit goods, the identification of Ming and Qing porcelain must be known first. The following Xiaobian is a brief introduction to the Ming and Qing porcelain identification methods.

(1) Look at modeling: There are different aesthetic standards, living habits, and technical conditions in different times. Therefore, the ceramic products produced have different modeling characteristics, which provides an important basis for our identification. First of all, we must have a basic concept of ancient artifacts, master the general trend of development, the original celadon of the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States period, modeling more imitation bronze, simple and elegant; Three Kingdoms and two Jin and South and North Dynasty porcelain, from the thick to the thin high development; Tang Dynasty porcelain is It is full and round, showing a graceful and elegant temperament; the Song Dynasty artifacts are long and light, giving people a sense of vitality; the Yuan dynasty utensils are anti-Song dynasty style, with tall artifacts that look thick and thick; the Ming Dynasty is yet another anti-Yuan dynasty, featuring beautiful utensils. The ancient ancestors gave a fresh and beautiful feeling; in the Qing Dynasty, they were numerous in shape and elaborate.

(2) see the glaze: different eras, different firing kiln porcelain, because the glaze composition and firing conditions are different, the firing of the material, glaze color is not the same, has become an important basis for our identification of ceramics. Identification of fetal quality is mainly observed at the foot, regardless of the era of artifacts, in the bottom foot edge or mouth exposed and body shrinkage, most of the features can be seen in the fetal quality. Observing the enamel generally pay attention to glaze color, luster and air bubble density and other aspects. For example, in the black-glazed porcelain produced by Jianyao in the Song Dynasty of Jianyang, Fujian, because the fetal material contained more iron, the fetal color was purple and the fetal quality was firm. The black glaze porcelain produced by the Jizhou kiln in the Ji'an Song Dynasty in Jiangxi Province is similar to that of a built kiln. However, due to the different raw materials used for making the tires, the color of the fetal color is beige or black in the pan-blue color, and the quality of the tire is loose. It will help us to distinguish the kiln mouth.

Even with the same age, the same variety, as long as we carefully observe, will also find that there are differences in the glaze, for example, the blue and white porcelain produced by Jingdezhen during the Ming Dynasty Yongle, Xuande period, glazed greasy, glazed fat, revealing orange peel-like bumps Feelings, careful observation, glaze can be seen in varying sizes of glaze; and the Ming Dynasty production of blue and white porcelain, glaze color is very different, thin and bright, not the same language.

(3) Look at the craft: Different molding process of utensils, different loading methods, different firing atmospheres and different fuels, will leave different features on the ceramics, and become an important basis for our identification of ceramics. For example, the Ding kiln porcelain of Song dynasty was covered with a burning process, and the mouth of the fired utensils was unglazed, commonly known as “Mangkou”; while in the Song dynasty, the kiln porcelain was made with the support of nails, and the fired utensils were full of glaze, leaving only the bottom of the device. The traces of tiny sesame-like spikes should be carefully controlled.

(4) Look at the ornamentation: The ornamentation on the ceramics, regardless of subject matter and performance techniques, strongly reflects the aesthetics of the people at that time. Each era has its own distinctive style and characteristics. For example, the decoration of Yuan and Qing dynasty porcelain was densely arranged, with many layers, ranging from two or three layers to as many as seven or eight layers. By the time of the Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, it tended to be sparse. Another example is that the dragon patterns commonly used in Chinese porcelain decoration vary from one era to the next. Some are all-powerful, some are soft and exhausted; some are mighty and powerful, some are old-fashioned, and these have become a reference factor in our identification.

(5) Look at color materials: glazes on porcelain. Each stage has its own characteristics. Although some use a color material, due to different ingredients, or different methods, firing conditions are different. Color is also different, although this difference is sometimes extremely subtle, but as long as you look closely, you can find the difference. For example, the blue-and-white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty was mostly made of imported green material. This blue-flowered material has a low manganese content and a high iron content. After firing, black spots appear on the blue and white flowers. This naturally-formed black Spot has become one of the characteristics of Xuande blue and white porcelain. The imitation propaganda device during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty could not reproduce the Xuanqing style accurately because of the different green materials used. The black spots on the blue and white spots were made by brushing several points of dyeing. As long as careful observation was made, it could be found that the artificial remains. The traces are quite different from the natural dark spots formed by Xuande's blue and white flowers.

6) Look at the money: Knowledge refers to the words that are engraved, drawn, printed, or written on the chinaware, indicating its age, kiln mouth, producer, or user, etc. It is also one of the basis for the identification of ceramics. Different times, the method of book money, the style of the book and the brushwork, and the parts of the book are all different. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, there were many imitation porcelains of the Qing dynasty Kangxi kiln, and the end of the book “The Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi's Year System”. However, unlike the Kangxi era, the typefaces and brushstrokes were known to be descendants of imitations. Therefore, it is also very important to master the identification features to determine generation and discriminate.
