Blue and white porcelain of Fanchang kiln site

Fanchang Kiln is located between Kejia Village hills surrounded by mountains south of Fanchang County in southern Anhui, and it also has the same story as Ge Kiln.

According to legend, it was founded by two brothers in the Five Dynasties, so the products fired in the kiln are also said by Kodak and Kerr. Because Fanchang belonged to Xuanzhou in Song Dynasty, and Xuanzhou kiln was recorded in historical materials, it was listed as Xuanzhou ancient kiln site in academic circles.

In recent years, with the discovery and textual research of a large number of ancient kiln sites in ancient Xuanzhou, such as Wuhu, Xuanzhou, Jingxian and Jixi, people may be afraid of confusing products because of the kiln name, so they have to name Fanchang kiln after the place name, but the locals are still used to calling it Kejiachong kiln. Fanchang kiln is a folk kiln, which mainly fires bowls, lids, pots, banknotes, cups, bowls, boxes and other daily necessities. The burned objects are elegant and white, simple and elegant, with strong local characteristics and characteristics of the times. The lion white porcelain pillow in Huangshan Museum is one of the representative works of this kiln change. Due to the fact that porcelain was made in Song Dynasty, and the craft wood was used, the product tire thickness was changed in kiln, and the enamel was extremely bright and transparent as jade. Fanchang kiln experienced the whole Song Dynasty. Most of the early products are bean yellow, which is roe-like, and the late glaze is emerald green and ice-like. For example, peony holds a pot of flowers, with a height of 22 cm, a mouth of 5.5 cm and a belly of 14 cm. The spout is trumpet-shaped, slightly arc-shaped, shaped like a swan's neck. The shoulder of the pot is pinched by two systems, the glaze color is rich and full, the white inside is green, the ampulla is divided into two lines, and four peony flowers with opposite leaves are carved. Song white porcelain takes tears as the top, and peony takes flowers as the top. This pot is smooth, antique and distinctive, and it is the top grade of Fanchang kiln fired in the middle and late Song Dynasty. Fanchang kiln began to burn in the Five Dynasties, flourished in the early and middle Song Dynasty, and declined in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. Although there were no fireworks afterwards, it left its own page in the history of ceramic development in China.
