Jingdezhen Traditional Famille Rose Porcelain Making Technique (Third Batch Provincial Level) Famille Rose Porcelain is also called soft colored porcelain, one of the four traditional famous porcelains of Jingdezhen Kiln, and is a porcelain variety with pastel as the main decorative technique. Pastel is a painting method that is painted on the glaze (on the porcelain body) and fired at low temperature. Pastel is also called "soft color", which is a variety of overglaze color. The so-called overglaze color is to paint on the glaze surface of the fired plain ware, and then put it into the kiln and bake it at a temperature of 600 to 900 degrees Celsius. Famille Rose Porcelain is a new variety of overglaze color created on the basis of five-color porcelain in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, influenced by the production process of enamel colored porcelain. It was first fired in the late Kangxi period and has been popular in all dynasties since then. The painting method of pastel porcelain is generally: first draw the outline of the pattern on the white porcelain fired at high temperature, then use arsenic-containing glass white as the base, and then apply the pigment on this layer of glass white, and use a clean brush to gently wash the color according to the different needs of depth and thickness, so that the petals and the clothes of the characters have a sense of light and dark. Due to the opacification effect of arsenic, glass white has an opaque feeling. After being integrated with various colors, it produces a powdering effect, and the red color becomes pink, the green color becomes light green, and the yellow color becomes light yellow. Other colors also become opaque light tones, and the amount of addition can be controlled to obtain a series of different shades of light and dark tones, giving people a soft and soft feeling. Therefore, this kind of overglaze color is called "pastel". In terms of expression techniques, it progresses from flat filling to light and dark washing and dyeing; in terms of style, its layout and brushwork have the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting. As early as the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen's pastel porcelain had come out. It was quite exquisite during the Yongzheng period and reached a high artistic level during the Qianlong period. The "Eight Friends of Zhushan" left behind many precious porcelains with pastel paintings. Their leader, Wang Qi, applied the general method of painting porcelain to painting figures on porcelain plates. His painting skills were profound and his style was novel, which was called "divine skills". After the founding of New China, pastel porcelain has made great progress, and many new works with healthy, fresh and generous characteristics are dazzling. "Fushou Brand" pastel porcelain has won the national gold medal. Jingdezhen's traditional pastel porcelain production technology has a long history, distinctive characteristics, outstanding products, and is famous all over the world.
