The Fine and Elaborate China of Jingdezhen

Powder coloring is also called as soft coloring which makes decoration on china glaze. It became perfect from the late Emperor Kangxi Period to Emperor Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The process is: first, outline the pattern on the white body china, then put into coloring agent and burn in over 700℃. The color is gentle, the drawing is dainty and in a traditional Chinese painting style. It is also of embossment sense with strong national features in the picture whose subject is dominated by characters of historic story and mythology, or elegant and colorful landscape, or vivid flower, bird feather or regular geometric patterns etc.

Add some oxidized metal into the glaze, after burning, a certain luster will appear, this is called as new color glaze. What effects the glaze coloration most is the oxidized metal which works as a coloring agent. It is also in close relation to the components of glaze material, granularity size, burning temperature and burning climate etc. People say that "Any natural color can be burned on the china", so long as you visit the color glaze china in Jingdezhen, you'll be convinced. Naturally the combination of many glaze materials and burning are very difficult, e.g.: "Jihong glaze" is said to be the treasure from a thousand kilns.

The thin body china is as thin as cicada wings and as light as silk, and is light, elegant and fine white china that is as thin as egg shell. Ancient poets wrote that "People are afraid that the thin body china will be blown off by wind and will also be melted under the sunshine". The requirement for making thin body china is extremely high, esp. for repairing the base which is the most difficult and counts most, it all depends on the craftsmen's technique. After over a hundred repeats, the base of 2mm to 3mm thick is carved as thin as egg shell. One more cut may damage the whole base or one less cut may thicken the base, and it is really very important for any cut. Such base requires to be burnt in over 1300 ℃ without cleavage fracture or deformation. Since it is so rare, people call the thin body china as a miracle.
