Classification by flower decoration
Overglaze
Overglaze colored ceramics are products made by pasting colored paper made of overglaze ceramic pigments on the glaze surface or directly painting the pigments on the surface of the product, and then baking at 700℃～850℃. If you touch the surface of the product with your hand, you will feel a bulge at the decoration, and it will be uneven when observed with the naked eye.
In-glaze color
The firing temperature of in-glaze color ceramic color is higher than that of overglaze color, reaching the melting temperature of the glaze of the product. The ceramic pigment sinks into the glaze when the glaze melts, and is covered by the glaze layer after cooling. When you touch the surface of the product with your hand, it is as smooth as glass, with basically no bumps.
Underglaze color
All the color decoration of underglaze colored ceramics is done on the porcelain blank, which is fired at high temperature once after glazing. This kind of product is the same as the glaze color. The flower surface is covered with glaze layer, and the surface is bright and flat. The surface of the product is smooth when touched by hand, and sometimes there is a concave feeling in the decoration.
Colored glaze porcelain
Colored glaze porcelain is made by adding a high-temperature colorant to the ceramic glaze, so that the glaze surface of the fired product presents a certain color, such as yellow, blue, bean green, etc.
White porcelain
White porcelain usually refers to ceramics without any color decoration. It is the base porcelain for paintings and colored porcelain. It is the best base porcelain for the back of multicolored porcelain, blue and white porcelain, and doucai porcelain. White porcelain represents the future. It has the largest firing volume and the largest market share among all colored porcelains.
How to choose daily-use ceramics
Consumption characteristics of daily ceramic products at present stage
At present, the consumption trend of consumers for ceramic products is changing, from the past simple practical type to today's practical and aesthetic value. There are mainly the following characteristics:
►(1) Like fine porcelain products. The traditional coarse porcelain products in the home have become history. Instead, they are fine porcelain and gold-carved and painted tableware, tea sets, porcelain cups, etc., which give people a solemn and elegant beauty.
►(2) Pursuit of shaped and crafted products. The styles of the daily-use ceramic utensils we buy have changed from simple to complex, from plain to different, and gradually turned to focus on the appearance lines and style beauty.
►(3) Pursuit of complete sets of products. From the perspective of the consumption structure of the entire daily-use ceramics, it has been "integrated into a whole", tending towards serialization and complete sets, so the sales of ordinary single products have weakened.
Buying tips:
►(1) Decide the purchase level based on your financial ability, and then select your favorite patterns and colors based on the appearance. From the selected shapes and patterns, check each piece inside and out to see if the surface is damaged, smooth, or has spots or bubbles.
►(2) Place the ceramic product on your palm and tap it gently with your fingers or a small object. If the sound is crisp, it means the quality is good; if the sound is dull or hoarse, it means it is damaged or not fired well, and it is a low-quality product.
►(3) Check whether the appearance is regular. Place the ceramic product on a flat surface for observation. It should be stable and have little deformation.
►(4) Check whether the decorative pattern is beautiful, generous, and harmonious. When choosing porcelain with gold or silver decorations, you should also rub it with your hands to see if the color is reduced or the gold is removed.
►(5) When purchasing a set of ceramic products, check whether the glaze color, picture, gloss, and style of each piece are consistent, symmetrical, and coordinated. Thin-bodied ceramic products should be transparent, thin, light, and uniform in thickness when viewed under sunlight or light.
►(6)Choose products from famous porcelain factories.Here we recommend you Souvenirs ceramic round mugs.
