high-temperature colored glaze porcelain—-Coffee Cup 1

• High-Temperature Colored Glaze Porcelain
• High-temperature colored glaze porcelain is a type of colored ceramic made by using metal oxides and natural ores as coloring agents during the firing process, which is completed at a high temperature of approximately 1,380°C. Due to the natural changes that occur in its glaze during firing, each piece of such porcelain is unique—giving it high collectible and artistic value. Additionally, its chemical molecules are extremely stable, making it safe and non-toxic.

Key Characteristics

• Complex and one-of-a-kind firing process:The firing of high-temperature colored glazes is influenced by multiple factors such as temperature and kiln atmosphere. Even with the same formula, the resulting color and texture will vary, so every piece is a unique work.
• Rich and ever-changing colors:Depending on different coloring agents and firing conditions, it can present a wide range of vibrant colors, such as Lang Hong (crimson red glaze), Ji Lan (sacrificial blue glaze), Wujin (mirror black glaze), ivory yellow glaze, and green glaze.
• Kiln transformation art:During firing, various color-forming elements in the glaze undergo oxidation and reduction reactions at high temperatures, creating unexpected artistic effects—this is known as “kiln transformation.”
• Safe and healthy:High-temperature firing makes the chemical molecules in the glaze extremely stable, and the raw materials are mostly natural ores, so the finished product is safe and non-toxic.

History and Applications

• Long history:China’s earliest porcelain—primitive celadon—is a type of high-temperature glazed porcelain, dating back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Jun Kiln of the Song Dynasty is a representative of high-temperature colored glaze porcelain, producing Jun porcelain with rich and unique colors.
• Royal tributes and artworks:In ancient times, many pieces of high-temperature colored glaze porcelain were royal tributes made exclusively for the imperial court. Sometimes, they were also used as national gifts presented to foreign heads of state.
• Widely used in modern times:In the modern field of artistic ceramics, high-temperature colored glaze serves as an important decorative method, widely applied in works such as painting and sculpture to express rich emotions and textures.

Authentication and Value

• Collectible value:Owing to its unique nature and complex firing techniques, high-temperature colored glaze porcelain has high collectible value.
• Authentication standards:Experts can judge the age of the porcelain by the density of cracks on the glaze surface.
• Modern innovation:Based on the inheritance of traditional techniques, modern artists continue to explore new forms of expression and application for high-temperature colored glazes, breathing new vitality into it in the field of contemporary art.
