National Treasure: Jingdezhen Ceramics

 National Treasure: Jingdezhen Ceramics、

Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum remains the most renowned cultural tourist attraction in the city. 

Opening in 1954, the Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum became the first institution of its kind in China and today it remains perhaps the most renowned cultural tourist attraction in Jingdezhen, a city known as the Capital of Porcelain.

The museum houses a great variety of historic pottery and porcelain exhibits. Most pieces were fired in governmental kilns during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). Also featured are artworks from the Republic of China period (1912-1949) and masterpieces produced by renowned ceramists of modern times. The museum has become a window to a cultured past spanning 1,000 years of Jingdezhen’s ceramic civilization.

The collection includes rare porcelain wares from the Song (960-1276), Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644), and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, many of which are considered national treasures. And the exhibit surpasses all other museums in its holding of ceramic masterpieces created in the past 100 years.

The total collection is comprised of more than 13 categories and 250 subcategories of ceramics, spanning more than 2,000 shapes and more than 10,000 patterns.

Housed here are 378 pieces that have won international, national, or ministerial gold and silver prizes with four having won the National Prize for New Product Development. Exhibits also include many porcelain wares that were presented as state gifts in times past, as well as noted porcelain wares from Germany, Britain, Japan, South Korea and the United States.

For decades the museum has cultivated talented artisans of the ceramic craft. Today there are four: Ning Qinzheng, vice curator of the museum and a master of art and craft in Jiangxi Province; Cao Ganyuan, academic supervisor of the museum and chairman of the Jingdezhen Calligraphers’ Association; Chen Jun, curator assistant of the museum and a senior specialist in art and craft; and Sun Lixin, a senior specialist in arts and crafts born into a family of ceramists and now acting as director of the Jingdezhen Wenbo Art Exchange Center. Many of their pieces have garnered domestic and international awards and are popular among collectors both in China and overseas.

Winning wide praise both home and abroad, in recent years cultural relics and artworks from the Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum have appeared at many exhibitions in France, Japan, Macao and Hong Kong. The year 2004 marked the millennium anniversary of Jingdezhen and in 2003, the Chinese Culture Center set up in Paris by the Ministry of Culture of China held “Burning Brilliance”¡ªThe Exhibition of Ancient Porcelain Masterpieces of Jingdezhen. French President Jacques Chirac personally wrote to the center and visited the exhibition. “As the essence of Chinese culture, porcelain spreads the fame of Chinese culture around the world, especially in Europe,” he said.

The ceramic exhibition and other featured mediums reflecting Chinese heritage at the Chinese Culture Year in France proved a strong draw for the French public. The exhibition, with only 60 pieces displayed, attracted more than 10,000 visitors and all exhibits were heavily attended.

Jingdezhen’s porcelain artworks have generated interest and participation within the international culture of ceramics. For instance, the ceramic industry of France has developed a close relationship with that of Jingdezhen.

From the Ming Dynasty to the middle Qing Dynasty, a large quantity of porcelain wares made in Japan were modeled after those made of Jingdezhen, which had already been widely traded and collected across the globe. Since the Ming Dynasty, countless Jingdezhen porcelains were transported by Portuguese traders to Europe via Macao. Over the past 100 years in Hong Kong, an international metropolis known by some as the Capital of Art Collections, there have emerged a number of collectors who revel in Jingdezhen porcelains.

The French newspaper, Le Figaro, in praise of the Exhibition of Ancient Porcelain Masterpieces of Jingdezhen, described its cultural wares as: “Resplendent white gold, beautiful Chinese porcelain.” These are the particular jewels of the Jingdezhen Ceramics Museum, a palace of art depicting a city’s 1,000-year-old ceramic civilization.

Background information:

A world-famous brand, since the 15th Century Jingdezhen has enjoyed great reputation within the ceramic industry, whereas genuine porcelain was not produced in Europe until the 18th Century. Under the influence of Jingdezhen ceramics, the industry began to truly develop in Europe in the 19th Century. From the late Ming Dynasty through the early Qing Dynasty, chinaware - with Jingdezhen as synonym - sold well in Europe and around the world. Known in some regions as white gold, porcelain wares were popular with families of both aristocratic and common background. Noblemen in Europe and Japan were proud of their collections of Jingdezhen ceramics and shipping companies gained great wealth by trading Jingdezhen ceramics. (Thus the derivation of the label China in Europe.)

Basics of Thrown Pottery Forms

By JDZ-Ceramic

Thrown pottery forms can incorporate a number of specific areas, or parts. Bringing the knowledge of those areas to the forefront of your mind as you plan a pot or while throwing can help you create more pleasing pottery. It will also help you develop your own aesthetic or style in your work, simply by giving you a more concrete framework from which to launch your artistic “voice.”

The rim, also sometimes called the lip, is the open upper edge of the pot. Various styles of rims are possible, from the minimalist cut-like opening to elaborate compound ogee rims.

When thinking of your pots’ rims, remember to take into account the use that the pot is likely to be put to. Sharp openings are uncomfortable for drinking, and elaborate ones will make your beaker into a dribble glass. If the function is to hold flowers or some other object, think of how the rim area will help the viewer’s eye make the transition from the pot to the object it is holding.

Neck

The neck of the pot, if there is one, also needs to follow its function. Certain necks are impractical for pottery that is to be used in the kitchen, for storage, or for any purpose that requires a hand to be able to reach its bottom.

The neck should also enhance the feeling you want to impart to your audience. For example, long thin necks tend to “read” as elegant, refined, and sometimes as prissy. Shorter, stout necks often give the user the feeling of sturdiness, stability, and strength.

Shoulder

The shoulder is the area in which there is a fairly obvious and sharp delineation between the neck and the body of the pot. If included in a particular pot, it becomes a strong focal point for the form and should be treated with authority. Tentative direction changes in this area of a pot will weaken the aesthetic feel of the entire vessel.

Waist

Not all pots have waists. As you would expect, when they are present, the waist on a pot is an area in which the form is collared inward. Pottery waists may consist of a strong demarcation between the upper and lower regions, or be a gentle concave curve between the outward swelling of the upper and lower areas it joins together.

Belly

The widest outwardly or convexly swelling area of a pot, especially if it is centered in the lower half of the form, is known as its belly. The belly, waist, and shoulder of a pot, taken together, are often known as the body of the pot.

Foot

Pots may or may not have a foot. When present, the foot is an area that is distinct from the body of the pot, and which is smaller in circumference than the body. The foot raises the pot up and away from whatever surface the pot is standing upon.

Feet are generally viewed as giving a pot more elegance and “presence”; visually they make the pottery form read as lighter. Tactility they can make a pot feel more comfortable in the hand if the pot is small enough for the hand to cup around its base. An overly tall, spindly foot can make a pot look and often actually be unstable.

Ceramics Industry Exhibition - Guangzhou new case of crisis situation

By JDZ-Ceramic

As has been successfully held 23 sessions, China and Asia’s largest exhibition of ceramic industry, Guangzhou Industry in promoting the development of China’s ceramic industry will undoubtedly play an important role and significance. However, from this year’s exhibition industry to reduce the traffic of the reality, the Chinese ceramic industry event in the current pattern of global ceramic industry has witnessed tremendous changes in the new situation, is faced with a breakthrough with the enhancement of a comprehensive crisis.

There is no doubt that the Chinese ceramic industry, especially ceramic machine, chemical and related industries, the current can be said to be outside of Italy in addition to the most complete and full, although in some areas, world-class level and there is a big gap, but the scale of to create the level of market share in the international market and so have an important role. As China’s ceramic industry in the direction of the international market scene, industrial exhibition size, grade and influence, no doubt the development of China’s ceramic industry has an important role to promote and facilitate.

Judging from this year’s show, customers from abroad, such as more concentrated in the Southeast Asian countries and regions, new ceramics, from Europe and the United States significantly reduced traffic areas. This is among the natural global economic downturn, H1N1 virus, the impact of such factors, but show organizers in the overseas market promotion and publicity is the key decision factors show traffic. The scene in the show, many exhibitors would like to increase the industrial exhibition organizer in the overseas market promotion efforts, the Industry Exhibition higher position, run a greater scale, so that it truly becomes an important international ceramics industry event rather than the show has hit brand, reap the profits. In the long run, the industrial exhibition in the ceramic industry of the status of the occasion will be further down, thus weakening the revitalization of China’s ceramic industry, the exhibition explore the role of the international market.

In the ceramic industry, Italy Bologna Fair, no doubt the influence of the absolute, it not only brings together world-class manufacturer of ceramics, and has extensive international procurement channels and customers, so that each enterprise participating in the show can find a great business opportunities, which is excluded from the Italian event for many years, refused to Chinese enterprises an important reason why exhibitors. On the ceramic industry, set aside in terms of industry, China is currently the largest outside Italy, matching the most complete national, as the center of Foshan in the major producing areas have been thousands of ceramic machine, chemical industry and related businesses, industries set group of the most complete, in some areas, and even catch up with and more than Italy. However, how to cluster and scale of this advantage to enter into overseas markets, show no doubt is an effective way out. In fact, during the exhibition industry in Guangzhou, Munich, Germany, held on-site ceramic industry in October this year, the Expo will promote the fight for customers cited the war to the front of the Guangzhou Exhibition Industry.

In addition, although the current industrial exhibition of overseas exhibitors and customers a certain number remain, but many exhibitors is based on many years of China’s ceramic industry show the brand recognition, more viewers in Southeast Asia is also the participating businesses to customers or co-operation partners, are invited from participating businesses. If the host name of strengthening in the overseas market promotion and publicity to further enhance the impact of Industry Exhibition in Guangzhou, and will attract more international top companies and customers to come and negotiate the exchange of exhibitors, which will show the size, grade and impact force and the level of China’s ceramic industry to match.

Only to go out in the broader market, the broader field of Chinese ceramics exhibition industry and its promotion and publicity in order to allow more customers the power of knowledge in China, to cooperation in the industrial exhibition in Guangzhou eyes. Only in this way can we make next year’s industrial exhibition in the international market to achieve greater influence, so that China’s ceramic industry in the direction of the international market scene, and then take power into the ceramic ceramic Powers of the mission.

Potter’s Statement: [This is] from the last “Christmas” kiln firing. Info on this site has helped to eliminate pitting and crazing issues I was having. The mug is built using a pop can wrapped in paper for a slab form.

Comments by Beth: I love the patterning on the glaze. And the idea to use a paper-wrapped pop can is great! In addition to ease-of-use for making just one mug, it would be easy to make a set of matching mugs that way, too.
