Collection Level Firewood Kiln Yongle Blue and White Hand Cup

About the pressure cup
Why should I collect a pressure cup

1, Historical status. There is no one of the most expensive cups in ancient times.
Compared with chicken cup.
1. Fewer. There are only three pressure cups in existence. There are about ten chicken cups.
2. The time is earlier. The pressure hand cup was in the Yongle period, and the chicken bowl cup was in Chenghua.
3. It has a higher position in the history of ceramics. The influence of blue and white is far greater than that of the lottery. Yongle blue and white porcelain is the highest peak in the history of blue and white porcelain, and the pressing cup is one of the representative works of Yongle blue and white porcelain.

2, Cultural value
(1) Yongxuan blue and white status. In ancient times, it was recognized that there were two peaks of blue and white porcelain: Yongxuan and Kangxi. Yuan blue and white has always been considered as Yongxuan blue and white in history.
(2) The pattern of tangled lotus. The most representative pattern of China. The most popular pattern.
(3) Process level.
1. The shape of the utensil is honest, and the temperament is direct to the Song Dynasty (the Song Dynasty ordered tea, and the cup should be thick and simple);
2. The body glaze is fat and moist, with strong sense of jade quality.
3. Blue and white hair color: deep and rich. It has the effect of dizzy dispersion, which is similar to the ink and wash of Chinese painting.

Introduce our pressure cup.
1. Mr. Tu personally guards the gate.
This kind of porcelain is known as antique porcelain. But what is the imitation? Most people still don't know what kind of imitation is good.
Let's not say that the lover is not clear, and the vast majority of porcelain makers are also not clear.
For example, generally speaking, people who make antique imitations will say that they are imitated one by one. In fact, it's like saying that I learned Yan Ti by copybook, but the question is whether I can get it right is another matter. In fact, most people can't be very good when they come.
In addition, my similarity has reached 95%. The closer you are, of course, the better, but that doesn't mean anything. It's like painting a portrait of Wang Zhaojun. If 99% of it is in place, it will be destroyed if one more mole is painted. Most of the great ancient calligraphers were not identical, but they could catch the "God". If we can't grasp God, how much approximation is meaningless.
What is good?
The first is called. mix the spurious with the genuine.
The second is called. Get their gods.
The main purpose of the first one is to deceive the world and steal fame. If it is done well, it can be said that it has both form and spirit. It does not circulate in the consumer goods market at all. It is all done in the antique auction market and is not discussed.
The second kind, in fact, depends on the comprehensive cultivation and aesthetic ability of imitators. As we all know, Tang Ying, the pottery officer of Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong, was the most powerful ancient imitation expert in ancient times. The cultivation of poetry, calligraphy and painting is very good, and he stayed with Emperor Yongzheng for many years.
Our hand cup is made under the supervision of Mr. Tu himself. His personal humanistic quality and aesthetic standards are the guarantee of such a replica.
2. This is Mr. Tu's first firewood kiln, which will be included in his Notes on Making Porcelain. It is of great significance. The first batch is only one.
Notes on Making Porcelain is Mr. Tu's first book and will become a series of his later works. His fourth book this year has been finished. It is tentatively named Beauty of Porcelain and is expected to be published in October.
The second edition of Notes on Porcelain Making will be released next year.
3. Price.
There are more than 10000 imitations on the market. You can search ****** at will.
Needless to say the level of imitation.
Compare from some simpler and more intuitive positions.
First of all, it is fired in a wood kiln. For the same thing, the costs of gas kiln and firewood kiln are very different, which is needless to say.
From the perspective of collection value, Mr. Tu's future influence in the industry is incomparable. Mr. Tu's writing plan has been arranged for at least ten years (at the rate of one book a year). Two days ago, the president of Hebei Education Publishing House paid a personal visit to publish Mr. Tu's book. We will also hold an exhibition for Mr. Tu. As we all know, Mr. Tu has always been writing books with a deep heart, and has never been hyped about packaging.

Each cup will have a certificate of antique album.
There are also inscriptions on the wooden box.
It was written by Mr. Tu himself. (You may not know that Mr. Tu's calligraphy is not an ordinary level. He was a member of Jiangxi Calligraphers Association when he graduated from college.)
The historical background of the pressing cup
Yongxuan blue and white porcelain has a lofty position in the history of blue and white porcelain, which has lasted for hundreds of years! Both Zhisuo and Yongxuan said that, because of the rule of the Secretary's Year on porcelain, it began in the Xuande Dynasty, and the strong and colorful style of Xuande blue and white is the continuation and development of Yongle blue and white. Therefore, people do not need to make a clear distinction between the blue and white styles of the two dynasties, nor can they distinguish them. Therefore, in history, it has always been called Yongxuan. Without the rules of the Secretary's model year, Yongle Chao has indeed made its first move. The Yongle blue and white flowers, which are recorded in history and handed down in the world, are paid by the Secretary of the Party as "pressing cup"! The subtle discrimination of Yongle Xuande blue and white style, to a large extent, is due to this famous product.

Antique glaze is transparent and plump
The glaze of Yongxuan blue and white porcelain is thick. There are many star shaped bubbles of different sizes and different intervals in the glaze layer. The more bubbles, the heavier the green material halo dispersion. Although the glaze water is fat, it is very thorough. The antique glaze water is white and green, and the color is like duck egg white. It is elegant and transparent, revealing a strong classical flavor.
Su Malizhen, Xianyan and Han horses
In the Yongle Dynasty, Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean and brought back the "Suma Liqing" green material. After being fired with low manganese and high iron, the material is as bright and green as sapphire. This kind of green material can be seen through the light, vaguely showing violet color. It changes gracefully, and is fresh and beautiful!
Rust and tin spots are scattered everywhere
There are crystal spots scattered at the condensation point of the green material, most of which are tin foil shaped, black and thick, like the black color of pine smoke, so it is called "tin spot". There is a sense of concavity at the concentration point. Another kind of brown crystal spot is very similar to the color of rust, commonly known as "rust spot". Tin spots appear in the line texture. As the morning star shakes down, you can see the ancient charm.

Colorful and pale like ink
Yongxuan green material is gorgeous, with clear and transparent lines, like violet. The shallow part is star shaped and dotted; If it is concentrated, the tin spots will become flakes, and the color will be green and black, and the difference between the shades will be obvious. Its situation is just like the ink flowing into the paper, which naturally melts into the halo, and the virtual and real changes and the aura comes into being.
The subtle three moves have been handed down for a long time
According to the Museum Compendium by Gu Yingtai of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle pressing cup has three styles: "The center is painted with a double lion rolling ball, which is followed by the mandarin duck heart of the superior quality department, and the flower heart is followed." Two lions are homophonic, that is, everything goes well; Mandarin ducks are tied together and tie the knot; The flower heart should be peaceful. It means that the flowers are rich and noble.

Ancient style, pioneering
Inside the cup, there are four characters of the seal character "Yongle Nian System", which are as thin as rice grains. The seal character is simple and interesting. According to historical materials, the earliest person who can be tested for porcelain is the Yongle pressing cup, which is the first in its kind and has great collection value.
The patterns are green, simple and beautiful
The outer wall is painted with tangled lotus patterns. The patterns are green, and the branches and leaves are slow. In addition, Yongxuan's green material looks simple and unadorned; Its exquisite shape and graceful patterns can be passed down from generation to generation for a long time.
Tea sinks the heart, cup sinks the hand. Get from the hand, should be in the heart.
Enjoy tea, enjoy tea, hold firewood kiln
BLUE AND WHITE WOOD KILN
When the wood kiln is replaced, the temperature of the tea soup is thick, which makes people only want to have a small sample,
The firewood kiln is beautiful, so it is not the cloud to kill Wushan.

THE HISTORY OF BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN
• Blue and white porcelain began to be made in large amounts in Jingdezhen starting in the Ming(1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties,gradually becoming the most recognizable ceramic style in both the East and West.
• This blue and white vase can tell you a lot about China's international history.
• The story begins with the mineral known as cobalt,which the Persians used to make a unique pigment which turned blue when heated.
• In the 13th century when the Yuan Dynasty took over China, culture penetrated into Chinese territory.
• Blue was a favorite color of Muslims as it symbolized water-"the treasure of the desert".
Chinese masters worked the imported blue powder into floral scrolls on the stark white porcelain, so the style came to be known as Qinghua, which literally means blue flowers.
• Later in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Qinghua was made in large amounts in Jingdezhen and became the most recognizable style in both East and West.
• Vessels exported from China could be found all around the world, from national museums to private collections.
• Many cultures around the world have had their symbols etched in Chinese blue and white.

THE HISTORY OF JINGDEZHEN
Jingdezhen, a world-famous porcelain town in Jiangxi. In Chinese, the name Jingdezhen is virtually synonymous with ceramics,particularly porcelain.
• Historical records tell of Jingdezhen (then called Xinping) making porcelain in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), while archaeological excavations have shown evidence of Jingdezhen firing porcelain in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (265-420).
• Jingdezhen Porcelain developed rapidly in the Song and Yuan dynasties (960-1368), and a series of imperial factories was set up in Zhushan (a district of Jingdezhen) during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1912), making Jingdezhen the nation's porcelain center.
• Jingdezhen porcelain is characterized by its beautiful shapes, various varieties, rich decorations,and unique styles. It is quite famous for its white porcelain, which is known for being 'white as jade,bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sounding like a rock'.
• Regarding Chinese porcelain's glaze, blue was traditionally taken as the most precious color.
• During the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127),Jingdezhen kilns imitated the tone and moist texture of blue and white jade, and creatively fired a kind of qingbai ware ('blue-white' ware).
• The production of blue-white ware made Jingdezhen Porcelain particular important and famous at home and abroad.

OUR CRAFTSMAN
• We have many Chinese masters of arts and crafts, Jiangxi masters of arts and crafts, as well as national first-class technicians and professional cooperation teams.
• These craftsmen have been employed for more than 20 or 30 years and were born in Jingdezhen's porcelain family.
• Their craftsmanship has also been passed down from generation to generation. We hope that through the efforts of the company and the craftsmen, the Chinese traditional ceramic culture as well as technology and aesthetics can be truly integrated into modern life, so that more people can feel, touch and use these artifacts.
• This is more like a dialogue with the ancients and the modern people.

• Porcelain transformed from the soil of nature
• It was once called "white gold" in western European countries
• Blue and white porcelain is the first global commodity
• The Ming Dynasty was at the beginning of global trade
• Witness the prosperity of porcelain trade between China and the West in the 17th century
