High temperature color glaze porcelain

Reactive glaze that is fired in the kiln artifacts, due to the kiln contains a variety of coloring elements by oxidation or reduction, the kiln glaze after showing an unexpected effect. Because of its appearance by chance, morphology particular, people do not know the principle, only knew in the kiln firing process changes derived, so called "kiln." Kiln will be the emergence of a non-artificial color effects can be achieved, there is a manual that is difficult to concoct artistic atmosphere, saying, "kiln Warriors", stating that his unpredictable and unique.


To the Ming Dynasty, people still vague understanding for the kiln. He Mengchun Ming scholars in the "I continued recording excerpt winter" said: "Zhejiang kiln, firing on porcelain for its initial Tuan division for finishing, seeking its exquisite one also. Opening day of the kiln, repeated proportion, and the United States recognize evil men, of which there is a qualitative rather then into the same and then into heterogeneous; same color and is specially designed for those who Leis, water and soil, taken together, manpower of power, no longer able to and is of that kiln. lid dozens kiln, ten million products and a circuitous Yan, then prison officials see it certainly ruined kiln, kiln rare treasure, but did not dare to enter in a non-imperial age for things too. therefore for the porcelain, but whichever is the correct co-productions, Ying unblemished flaw, color like a person. " It is obvious that kiln precious and rare.



Qing Yongzheng and Qianlong, Jingdezhen craftsmen mastered the basic reactive glaze has already started the law, you can achieve the desired effect of firing products. According to the "South kiln notes" set, the production of reactive glaze Qing Dynasty, though flowing into the fire to make the glaze, the color change its course, intended as some kind of unintended color, but has been able to artificially configuration glazes, better control of the furnace, basically mastered the kiln of the law. Known as Kangxi fired in cowpea red, apple green and other varieties.


Color temperature is a fire art, is an entirely depends kiln temperature firing atmosphere comprehensive art. Changing the color is copper oxide, iron oxide, zinc oxide and other metal elements as the main variety of glaze colorant, firing at high temperature reducing flame atmosphere hair color results. Porcelain glaze contains a variety of coloring metal, high temperature fire, due to temperature, atmosphere, etc. firing process relationship, and presents a variety of colors: red, such as copper can be fired or green, blue or iron can be fired brown, purple, manganese can ...... reactive glaze firing copper oxide as the principal coloring agent, as well as iron, cobalt, manganese and other metal components. Glazing, the first layer of copper red glaze applied on the blank, and then applied once or more times a glaze containing other coloring agent, the high temperature of about 1300 ℃, glazes mingled with the natural flow in the melting process, the formation of fresh brilliant glaze, endless, showing like flaming colors; redder called "Flame Red" bluer called "flame green."


High temperature color glaze through the "kiln", has become bizarre glaze, would naturally formed in glazed depicting mysterious picture, some, such as Hongxia sky, Clouds Chasing the Moon; some, such as mountains, waterfalls, beads curtain hanging; some, such as festive night sky, fireworks odd place; some, such as Qianjiang bore, the waves rolled. In these animals kiln glaze porcelain carving, the texture resembles a tiger some characteristics, some like lion hair, and some realistic leopard, really King as people would like, into the head cheer, even though they produce often with no people's will as an objective chance, but also regarded as the god of the fire department's "Heavenly" creation.


Glaze's performance is infinite, and that the freedom and flexibility of color space, then glaze arbitrariness and objectivity of the more liberal people's thoughts drifted away from the virtual environment like the true and between images.
