[Ding Kiln White Glaze Gold Folding Edge Plate]
Ding Kiln White Glaze Gold Folding Edge Plate, Northern Song Dynasty, height 1.9 cm, caliber 18.7 cm, foot diameter 14 cm. In the Palace Museum
It has folded edges, shallow belly, round feet, hard body, white glaze on the inside and outside, white and glossy glaze, and golden color on the top, all of which have fallen off
Zhou Mi, a Southern Song Dynasty writer, wrote Guixin Miscellaneous Knowledge, which said: “The golden flower sets the bowl, uses garlic juice to mix the gold and paint, and then burns it in the kiln, and it will never fall off.” The Ding kiln porcelain decorated with the gold painting technique is very rare, and there are only more than 10 pieces left at home and abroad, and its gold color has fallen off to varying degrees. It can be seen that “never fall off” is not enough to be believed
Ding Kiln craftsmen use garlic juice to mix gold powder because the surface of porcelain is smooth and clean. In order to make the gold powder adhere to it, they must use sticky blending agent. Garlic juice is both sticky and easy to use locally. It is an ideal natural blend
