Chinese Qing Dynasty porcelain ware. It is the most important item of the modern period.
Generally speaking, langyow ceramics usually refer to Ming dynasty red ceremonial jewel glazes, and not necessarily to lang ware alone. Rang” refers to Rang Tingji, an official who supervised the porcelain industry during the Kangxi period (1662-1722), but a fourth person mistakenly referred to him as Rang Se-ning. Seining was a Frenchman who excelled at painting and served the imperial court during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods (1723-95), but he never supervised the manufacture of porcelain. He was a Frenchman who excelled at painting and served the imperial court during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods (1723-95), but he never supervised the manufacture of porcelain. From this, it is clear that Yangukoku was not a Seinei. This type of product is mainly made with a deep red jewel glaze. This type of ware began in the Xuande (1426-135) and Wanli (1573-1620) periods of the Ming dynasty, and was copied in the early Qing dynasty. The current so-called Rang kilns confuse the Ming and Qing periods. However, this misrepresentation has already become common and should be followed by many. According to the current popular understanding, vessels with deep red jewel glaze are generally called “royaki,” while those with red glass or tachibana bark glaze are generally called “jikuhong. Sekihong vessels have a seal of approval, while Rang ware does not. There is a distinction between front and back among Rang kiln wares. The ones with open flakes inside and out and with a light greenish-blue pattern on the base are called “ane” wares, while the ones made later have slight differences. The former has a slightly yellow bottom and is what is called a rice bath, while the latter has a blue or shohin blue bottom and is what is called a shohin aisai fannen. The former type has a deep red glaze, while the latter has a bright red glaze, only the glaze is somewhat translucent and differs from the flesh color of the kiln change. The deep greenish-green color is beautiful and lovely, and there are fine shatter patterns all over the body, which was actually copied in the Ming dynasty from the kiln of Zhangsheng Er’s younger brother in Longquan, Zhejiang Province. There are also imitations from the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods. The Rang kiln is the so-called “cinnabar hand” of our country, and was copied by Rang Tingji beginning in the Xuande period of the Ming dynasty and continuing through the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty, and all of these Ming ritual kongs are also referred to as Rang kilns. It was also introduced to Europe by the French as sand boeuf (meaning “cow’s blood rouge”), and was greatly appreciated. Originally a color produced by the reduction firing of copper, it is now apple green due to accidental oxidation, and can also be purple, black, and white. Among the red colors, peach blossom pieces, known as peach bloom, are highly prized by Americans, while azuki red is known as bean red.
