He masterfully used the original porcelain body to create sculptures with a sense of depth and dynamism, employing delicate techniques to depict lifelike works. In the late Qing Dynasty, as China faced invasions from Western powers, its porcelain industry gradually lost its former brilliance, with each generation seeing a decline in its craftsmanship, from form to material and glaze. However, during this era, notable ceramic artists such as Wang Bingrong, Chen Guozhi, and Li Yucheng emerged, forging new paths. They integrated the carving techniques of Jingdezhen porcelain with Chinese painting and the art of Ming and Qing bamboo carving, even incorporating Western sculptural methods to develop a unique style of carved porcelain. ◤ White porcelain carving is a traditional Chinese ceramic carving technique that utilizes white porcelain as the primary material. Exquisite and intricate patterns and motifs are achieved through hand-carving or mold shaping. Its characteristics include pure coloration, hard texture, high luster, and detailed, full carvings, often used in the creation of porcelain artworks and crafts. White porcelain carving techniques encompass intaglio, relief, line carving, floral carving, and inlay, among others. It is commonly used for crafts such as tea sets, flower pots, and the "Four Treasures of the Study." In essence, white porcelain carving is a superb ceramic carving technique that perfectly blends natural aesthetics with craftsmanship. ◤ Material: Ceramic ◤ Dimensions: Diameter approx. 8cm; Height approx. 15cm ◤ Weight: Approx. 814g ◤ Price: $80,000 / piece ◤ Origin: China ◤ Quantity: This is a unique piece, a centuries-old carved brush holder, highly collectible for antique porcelain enthusiasts. Porcelain Care Instructions: 1. Hand wash only, as the porcelain body and glaze are delicate and easily scratched. Avoid using rough cloths to prevent surface abrasions. 2. When washing with water, do not exceed 70 degrees Celsius and do not soak the porcelain in hot water for extended periods, which may affect its aesthetic appeal. 3. After washing, allow the porcelain to air dry naturally or wipe it with a soft cloth. Do not use high-temperature drying equipment such as disinfection cabinets. 4. Stains should be cleaned immediately to prevent them from lingering on the porcelain. For tea or coffee stains, lemon juice or vinegar can be used for cleaning. 5. During winter, control the water temperature when cleaning porcelain to prevent cracking due to extreme cold or hot water. It is best to use wooden or plastic basins for washing, avoiding ceramic or cement basins to prevent damage. ※ Antique items over ten years old are considered new and unused.
