Product Details Chinese Porcelain King 2

Newly replicated Qianlong large vases with various glazes have an open mouth, a constricted neck that gradually widens downwards, a melon-shaped belly, and a flared ring foot. On both sides of the neck are gilded Kui-shaped ears. The entire vase is divided into 16 sections of glaze from top to bottom. Various colored glazes are separated by golden circle lines. The rim is decorated with gold, purple-ground overglaze enamel, and green-ground overglaze enamel in each section. The neck is decorated with imitated Ge glaze, underglaze blue, and malachite green glaze in each section. The shoulder is decorated with transformed glaze and doucai. The upper part of the belly is decorated with powder green. The belly is decorated with 12 sky-blue ground gilt-decorated cartouches, inside which auspicious patterns are painted. Among them, six are patterns composed of flowers, bats, coiled dragons, ruyis, and swastikas, symbolizing "blessings and longevity for ten thousand generations". The other six are "three yangs ushering in peace", "phoenix facing the sun", "peaceful elephants", "auspicious celebrations with more than enough", as well as pavilion landscapes and ancient objects. The lower part of the belly and the foot are decorated with Ge glaze, underglaze blue, green-ground overglaze enamel, red-ground gilt, imitated Guan glaze, and sky-blue glaze gilt in sequence. The bottom has a green-ground seal script inscription "Made in the Qianlong period of the Great Qing" with six characters. The body of the vase also features intricate and varied decorations, including winding branch flowers, winding lotus patterns, floral motifs, palm leaf patterns, return patterns, hook chrysanthemum patterns, etc.

This vase integrates various techniques and technologies from different dynasties into one piece. With such a wide variety of glazes and colors, their formulas and firing temperatures are all different, requiring multiple firings according to the requirements of underglaze, overglaze, high temperature, and low temperature, making the process extremely complex. And with such a variety of glazes and decorations arranged in a coordinated manner, they are staggered appropriately, alternating between light and dark, orderly and organized. This vase has a majestic shape, intricate decorations, brilliant colors, and is exquisitely crafted, truly worthy of being called a "living fossil" for studying the development history of Chinese ceramics. Its firing marks the unprecedented peak of ancient Chinese porcelain-making technology, making it a masterpiece of integration, hence earning the beautiful name of "Chinese Porcelain King".

Characteristics of the Chinese Porcelain King Product

1. National Treasure Becomes Family Collection

Due to national cultural relic policies, some artworks cannot be auctioned or exported. However, items like the porcelain king, which are unique pieces not available on the market, can now become family collections through new reproductions, allowing cultural relics and artworks to be "replicated".

2. High Investment Returns

Making antique porcelain replicas, especially high-quality official kiln masterpieces, is highly challenging due to the high technical content, low production rate, time-consuming processes, and significant capital investment. The cost of producing a single finished piece, including damaged items, far exceeds modern artistic porcelain. Therefore, art investors who enter the high-quality replica market will certainly see returns.

3. Jointly Created by Authoritative Experts

This re-production of the porcelain king gathered top porcelain masters, porcelain restoration masters, porcelain appraisal masters, and porcelain research masters nationwide. These masters' works themselves have high collection value, and this joint creation of high-quality porcelain kings has a value that is hard to measure in monetary terms.

4. Original Reproduction of National Treasure Unique Pieces

The porcelain king is the treasure of the Palace Museum and a first-class national cultural relic. This re-production of this national treasure-level unique piece has extensive artistic value and profound historical significance, with a value that may even exceed that of ordinary antique porcelain.

5. Limited Edition, Extremely Precious

Although the replication of this porcelain king consumed the efforts of nearly a hundred ceramic experts over six years, only 280 high-quality replicas were successfully made due to the complexity of the craftsmanship, demonstrating its precious collection value.
