[Imitation Ge glaze octagonal high foot cup]
Imitation Ge kiln octagonal high foot cup, 9.7 cm in height, 8 cm in diameter and 3.9 cm in foot diameter
The cup is octagonal, open, deep belly, folded bottom, and trumpet high feet. The mouth edge is made in eight ways, extending to eight edges at the bottom of the abdomen, and the string pattern is raised on the foot for one week. The body of this cup is thick, and the inside and outside are painted with imitation glaze. The mouth and foot are painted with purple glaze to imitate the effect of “purple mouth and iron foot” of Song Ge kiln. Both the inside and outside are decorated with open-piece celadon glaze. The light celadon glaze is interwoven with black and yellow patterns, which shows the characteristics of “golden wire” of Song Ge kiln. The outer wall has large open pieces, and the internal and foot patterns are fine. Six characters of “Da Ming Cheng Hua Year System” are written in regular script from right to left in the foot
Jingdezhen porcelain imitated from Ge kiln in the Song Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty began in the Xuande period. At this time, Jingdezhen not only fired traditional varieties, but also created many new varieties, including Ge kiln porcelain. Chenghua period inherited the former system and formed its own fashion of the times. This imitation Ge Kiln octagonal high foot cup is a new product of Chenghua period. It is exquisite and beautiful in shape, elegant and exquisite in decoration, and full of the characteristics of Chenghua ware. Although the glaze is similar to that of the Song Dynasty, its glaze is plump, smooth and bright, and has a strong gloss, so it has no “crisp and implicit” beauty of the Song Dynasty. The glaze color of the mouth and feet and the gold wire and iron line patterns are also more regular than those of the Song Ge kiln, which is less interesting
