Cloisonne was adopted and became a refined and appreciated decorative medium, by the MING Dynasty emperors (1368-1644), and continued to be promoted and selectively produced from then on. Colors were limited with turquoise blue the most prominently used, mainly as a background. At that time cloisonne became know as JINGTAI LAN, 'the blue of the Jingtai era'. The Jingtai emperor reigned during the Ming dynasty, for the years 1450-1457. Enamels were soldered to heavy cast bronze bodies, and the wire cloisons were thick bronze. Many extremely large items were commissioned by the emperors for gifts to the Buddhist temples and their altars, as well as decorative pieces for the huge Chinese palaces. An Imperial workshop was dedicated to cloisonne production on the palace grounds in Beijing. Enamel colors evolved over time, with more shades available, such as cobalt blue, dull brick red, dark green, light green, white, yellow, navy, purple and black. Enamel powders: glass flux and chemical compounds were mixed right in the cloison before firing the object in a kiln, giving an uneven speckled effect in some instances, such as 'Ming pink', the red and white enamel combination. Motifs were: stylized lotus scrolls, dragons, foo dogs, leaf and wave borders, animals, birds, flowers, with Buddhist and Taoist symbols. Enamels were left unpolished, and metal surfaces were gilded as a finishing touch. The Qianlong reign was the most influential for all the arts in China, including cloisonne. Most experts agree that the late 18th century was the apogy of Chinese cloisonne with its exceptional cloisonne renditions. sumber : http://www.idcloisonne.com/id22.html |
