2nd Commissioned Ru Ware Vase With Gilded Over Copper Bands And Crushed Agate In Glaze
Https://www.chinesemasterpieces.com
I started collecting in the 70s and in the 90s I began to put together a very fine collection from private Chinese sources that risk severe persecution just owning their collections that were passed down by ancestors that were in power long before the Communist.
This Is The Official Commissioned Imperial
Ru Ware Collection From The Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong's Personal Collection
These 2nd commissioned wares the foot rings are unglazed and they were fired flat in the kiln, and this vase shown has fire gilded over copper bands that are corroded with cup-rite and malachite. It's 100% authentic and easy to prove because of the cup-rite and malachite corrosion that takes almost 1000 years to develop on the fire gilded copper bands and everyone can see this easily with your own eyes also the crushed agate in the glaze can be seen with a 20x loupe! You don't have to be an expert to understand this. All 2nd commissioned wares are not marked. The 2nd commissioned wares have an off white biscuit that turns brownish after firing, the wares have a very rich beautiful smooth glaze without any crackle, extremely rare wares have fire gilded over copper bands, This Cong Vase is the finest Vase from the hoard of Chinese Emperor Huizong Of The Song Dynasty 1082 to 1135 Personal Collection.`
LOOK CAREFULLY BELOW
Below is a row of closeups photos to show you the Cuprite and Malachite corrosion on the RU WARE Copper Fire gilded Bands. (Fire gilding with gold and mercury, the mercury metal being driven off afterward by fire. This type of gilding hasn't been used since the mid 1800 because it is very dangerous)This took almost 1000 years to develop on these bands and this can't be faked. (From the book Copper and bronze in art by David Scott) (chapter 3 page 106 Malachite in bronze patinas) (The natural transition of metal to cuprite to malachite is very difficult to replicate in the laboratory. In fact, most of the recipes for producing artificial green patinas on copper alloys, such as those compiled by Hughes and Rowe (1982), do not result in malachite formation over a cuprite layer. Consequently, the existence of this type of corrosion, supported by analytical and metallographic studies, is a good indication of the authenticity of an artifact.) Also microscopic photos of the RU WARE glaze which you can see the tiny reflective specs of crushed agate that was used in the glaze. The reflective agate specs can also be seen when using a 20x loupe, only Commissioned Imperial Ru Wares have crushed agate in the glaze. The pieces that have been sold by the corrupt Auction companies will not show crush agate in there glaze because they never used agate in Merchant wares. Only Official Commissioned Imperial Ru wares used agate in the glaze. The finest Merchant wares have gild copper bands these were given as tribute to the Emperor. Most Merchant ware was sold to the wealthy merchants. The Merchant pieces that were flawed were sold very cheap to the population and Merchant wares that were extremely flawed were destroyed. When Emperor Huizong commissioned the Ru Kiln, he worked with the Ru kiln and designed wares for himself and his court and made them his official Kiln. He wanted them to use agate in the glaze in all his Commissioned wares. The Commissioned wares are generally larger then what the Ru Kiln had been producing, also they have there own distinct styles, forms, and glazes that many have not been seen even until today. They have found the Ru kiln site where they made the Merchant wares before Emperor Huizong commissioned them. I don't believe they have found Emperor Huizong's official Ru kiln site yet.

These Exquisite Masterpieces Falangcai Famille Rose Vases are very thinly potted,and they were decorated in the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Yongzheng period 1723 to 1735. These vases were painted using Falangcai enamels and it is said that the Emperor himself oversaw the manufacture of these wares. It took such skill and control to create these Vases, Look close and you will understand what a true Chinese Ceramic Masterpiece looks like. It's important to look carefully and zoom in on the leaves, flowers, and branches you will see the detail, colors, and shading that gives balance and depth to these Vases. Collectors must learn to recognize the differences of a good piece compared to great piece or masterpieces. Most Qing Pieces if you look close at them you will see and understand they were painted by less skilled artist, they will look flat without balance, detail or depth. Pay attention to the details and color balance and shading this will help you to see and understand the difference. These vases
This is an extremely fine incised B/W Ming Dynasty Chenghua period Imperial brush washer. This brush washer was painted in a wave pattern some crashing against the rocks with finely incised mythical animals above the water. The brush washer measures approx. 5 9/16 inches tall. Chenghua period was from 1465 - 1487. These blue and white wares are the most sought after blue and white wares China ever produced. The beautiful cobalt used during this period makes them very easy to distinguish from other periods. They have a distinct blackish tone from the imported somali blue cobalt they used during that period. They also mixed in local cobalt call pitang to stabilize the Imported cobalt because it was known to run. Most Chenghua wares don't have the heaping and piling effect because they refined the cobalt so well, pieces that have heaping and piling that breaks the surface of the glaze will show black spots or a silvery reflection not brown that would be local Chinese cobalt, The imported cobalt came from Persia
I speak out to expose the corruption that permeates the entire fine Asian art market in America and the World. I started collecting in the 70s and in the 90s I began to put together a very fine collection from private Chinese sources that risk severe persecution just owning their collections that were passed down by ancestors that were in power long before the Communist.
