Dingyao is a famous porcelain factory in Tang Dynasty, which specializes in firing white glaze and yellow glaze porcelain (white glaze includes jade-walled bowls, pots and bottles; Yellow glazed utensils include bowls, watering pots, etc. ), it developed rapidly in the Song Dynasty, and it was bigger and more famous than before. A large number of white porcelain was burned, followed by black glaze, sauce glaze, blue glaze, brown flower on white background and other varieties. The white porcelain tire soil is fine, the tire quality is thin and shiny, the glaze color is pure white and moist, and there are tears on it. Glaze is white glass glaze with a little powder, so it is called powder setting, also known as white setting. Other porcelains are coarse in fetal quality and yellow in glaze color, commonly known as earth ding; Purple is purple; Black as paint is black, and red is red, which is rare and passed down from generation to generation.
Ding kiln was built and burned in the late Tang Dynasty. By this time, Ding kiln porcelain in the Five Dynasties was still relatively rough and simple, mainly bowl-shaped, and was in the transition stage to fine porcelain. However, in the middle and late Five Dynasties, Ding Yao white porcelain made a fundamental leap. The burnt porcelain is no longer coated with cosmetic soil, and the tires and glazes are very thin. The whiteness of some utensils even exceeds the fine white porcelain of Xing Kiln.
The Northern Song Dynasty was the heyday of Ding Kiln's development, and the working people of Han nationality made many innovations and progress in porcelain-making technology. In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, Ding Kiln was selected as court porcelain by the Song government because of its excellent porcelain quality, elegant color and exquisite decoration, which greatly increased its value and made its products all the rage.
Ding kiln gradually declined and abandoned after the "Jingkang Rebellion" at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty due to years of military disasters. After the Jin Dynasty ruled the northern part of China, the porcelain industry of Ding Kiln recovered rapidly, and the production level of some products was no less than that of the Northern Song Dynasty. Judging from some objects with dragon and phoenix patterns, Ding kiln products are also favorite porcelain varieties of rulers in the Jin Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, Ding Kiln finally declined gradually.
In the 1970s, Ding Porcelain entered a period of recovery after years of silence. Quyang Fixed Porcelain Co., Ltd. has gone through hardships and hundreds of research experiments, and on the basis of antique, it has successfully developed more than 200 kinds of craft products in three series: antique, fine arts and daily use. The products have won many awards in domestic exhibitions and exported to more than ten countries and regions such as the United States, Japan, Canada, the Netherlands and Hong Kong.
