Basic introduction of Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain

Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain is known as a "treasure of the world". Founded in the Yuan Dynasty, it reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It uses cobalt oxide material to depict patterns on the billet, and after glazing, it is fired at high temperature once. It contrasts with blue and white, creating a serene and charming atmosphere, crystal clear and bright, and beautiful for a long time

Tang Blue and White

The blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was in its infancy. In 2012, there were more than 20 fragments of blue and white porcelain unearthed in Yangzhou in the 1970s and 1980s; A blue and white striped replica collected by the Fung Ping Shan Museum in Hong Kong; A floral patterned bowl collected by the Boston Museum in the United States; A fish and algae patterned jar collected by the Copenhagen Museum in Denmark; A spotted plum blossom patterned lid collected by the Nanjing Museum. By studying the body, glaze, and color of porcelain pieces unearthed in Yangzhou, and analyzing the material and technical conditions of the Gongxian kiln in the Tang Dynasty, it is preliminarily determined that the origin of Tang blue and white porcelain is Gongxian kiln in Henan Province. Since 2012, a small number of blue and white porcelain specimens have been unearthed at the Gongxian kiln site, further confirming that the origin of Tang blue and white porcelain is in Gongxian kiln, Henan province

Song blue and white

After its initial stage, Tang blue and white did not develop rapidly, but instead declined. So far, we can only see more than ten pieces of Song blue and white porcelain unearthed from two tower base sites. One is the Jinsha Pagoda foundation excavated in Longquan County, Zhejiang Province in 1957, which yielded a total of 13 fragments of blue and white bowls. The bricks of the tower have an absolute chronological record of the Northern Song Dynasty's "Taiping Xingguo Second Year" (977 AD); In 1970, a fragment of the belly of a blue and white bowl was unearthed at the base of the Huancui Pagoda in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. The tower stele unearthed from the tower base proves that the tower was built in the first year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1265)

Yuan blue and white

Mature blue and white porcelain appeared in Jingdezhen during the Yuan Dynasty. The body of Yuan blue and white porcelain adopts a binary formula of "porcelain stone kaolin", which increases the Al2O3 content in the body, raises the firing temperature, and reduces the deformation rate during the firing process. The body of most objects is therefore thick and full in shape. The tire color is slightly gray and yellow, and the tire texture is loose. The base glaze is divided into two types: blue white and egg white, with a strong milky feeling. The green materials used include two types: domestically produced materials and imported materials. The domestically produced materials are high manganese and low iron type green materials, which have a bluish blue color with a grayish black tint; The imported material is low manganese high-speed iron type green material, which has a bright green color and rust marks. On some objects, there are also cases where domestic and imported materials are used together. The main types of utensils include daily-use utensils, supply utensils, tomb control utensils, etc., especially bamboo high footed cups, seat utensils, and tomb control utensils, which have the most distinctive characteristics of the times. Except for the jade pot with spring bottom and foot glazed glaze, other objects have mostly sandy bottoms and no glaze, with visible flint red
