As the name implies, the so-called woven gold colored porcelain is to draw gold patterns on the glaze of various white-tire porcelain, as if brocade were embroidered with colorful and elegant gold threads and then fired at low temperature. As the initial product of Guangzhou colored porcelain, enamel is deeply loved by rich and noble people at home and abroad because of its noble and gorgeous characteristics. The Qing court listed it as a tribute, and some foreign royal officials of optimates made a special trip to Guangzhou to buy it.
Later, European businessmen brought painted porcelain patterns, which were made by China businessmen according to their export needs. At that time, Guangdong businessmen shipped porcelain blanks from Jingdezhen, painted them with Jiangxi pastel techniques imitating western color paintings, and then fired them.
Later, Guang Cai artists inherited the artistic characteristics of colored porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, absorbed western painting methods, drew patterns with local characteristics of Lingnan, and gradually formed a unique Lingnan artistic style, and fixed many patterns to become traditional flowers in Guang Cai, such as flower baskets, dragons and phoenixes, butterflies, goldfish, costume figures and so on.
The most commonly used composition is to enclose several spaces with different shapes with lace patterns, and draw flowers, things and people in the spaces. There are also paintings full of flowers but without a circle, showing a colorful and blooming scene.
Porcelain style.
The style of Guangzhou Zhijin colored porcelain is different from that of Jiangxi colored porcelain represented by Jingdezhen. Guang Cai's style features are: Guang Cai is a technique using China brocade patterns, which is famous for its colorful, rigorous composition and fine painting; Guang Cai hooks, traces, weaves and fills with various colors and gold and silver water, just like countless gold and silver colored silk weaves on white jade, which is so dazzling and magnificent.
There is a poem that sums up the characteristics of Guang Cai very vividly: "The colored pen is a needle, the painter is a line, and the needles are criss-crossed. Why should brocade embroider spring pictures? Spring flowers fly on silver porcelain. "
After hundreds of years of continuous development and innovation of artists from generation to generation, Guangzhou Zhijin colored porcelain has produced more than 90 ~ 100 dazzling and elegant supporting dinners, tea sets, large leather cups, dishes, pen holders and so on.
