Since ancient times, China has been represented by ceramics except silk, while China's ceramics have been exported overseas. In the eyes of foreigners, ceramics represent China. When it comes to ceramics, the first thing that comes to mind is China. Ceramics have developed for a long time since ancient times. The famous ceramic handicrafts are Tang Sancai and blue and white porcelain. There are other famous ceramics, which are widely collected because of their bright colors and exquisite workmanship, and this kind of ceramics is Liling porcelain. Do you know what features Liling porcelain has? How to identify? Let's find out.

Liling porcelain refers to the ceramics produced in Liling. If we want to divide all kinds of ceramics into different eras, Tang Sancai represents the most outstanding ceramic art in Tang Dynasty, blue and white porcelain represents the most outstanding ceramic art in Song Dynasty, and Liling porcelain represents the most outstanding ceramic art in Qing Dynasty.

For ceramics, what we appreciate is an elegant feeling, which makes you feel that it is not only an object, but also a plaything, and its ornamental value should be worthy of your consideration. Liling porcelain is a kind of underglaze multicolored porcelain, which is different from other colored porcelain. In its bright colors, you will not feel greasy disgust, but will feel a noble elegance through those colors, which is the characteristic of Liling porcelain.

The identification of Liling porcelain needs to be observed from the following aspects. The first aspect is raw materials. In Liling area, its soil has big ball mud, which is a kind of soil with particularly high aluminum content. For the soil with low iron and titanium content, this soil is very suitable for making ceramics, but it has been mined almost in modern times and is very precious, also called gold mud.

The second aspect is that from the point of view of ceramic painters, ordinary ceramics are colored after firing, while Liling porcelain adopts underglaze multicolor, which is colored first and then fired, so its manufacturing process is more difficult, and the colors on Liling porcelain spread to the market are all beautiful and elegant. Of course, the higher the artistry of the pattern, the greater its value.

The third point is to identify the integrity of the finished product. Under normal circumstances, the pattern is complete, the integrity is relatively high, and there will be no gaps. Fourth, you should judge which famous artist made pottery and whether it conforms to his style. Finally, I look at the overall characteristics of Liling ceramics. Its ceramic wall should be very thin, like paper, and the white part gives you a feeling of beautiful jade. This is the best Liling porcelain.

For the judgment of antiques, you need to be cautious when buying, beware of being deceived, and it is best to find some professionals to accompany you to buy.
