Crackled
porcelain including bird crafts----unique oriental
porcelain
The crackled porcelain including bird crafts is a
distinct class, though it will be found that many of the pieces having a single
glaze are also crackled. They are covered with a clay or enamel which having
been burnt in the kiln is taken out and subjected to the action of a current of
cold air, or they are dipped in cold water, so that by unequal contraction
cracks are formed with a regularity which,
|
|
although in the first place accidental, became, in the
skilful hands of the Chinese, science. Small crackles
like the herring's roe, and large crackles like the ice
cracks,
|
could be
produced by the potter as he chose. The cracks were
filled with Indian ink, red or black, which made them
stand out clearly. By further burning, possibly at a
lower temperature, the entire surface seems to be
covered with a clear glaze quite transparent, which to
the touch offers no unequalities of surface. These
wonderful potters on Athena-hands.com have so far pushed
this unique form of decoration, never successfully
imitated in Europe, that it became one of the most
important and striking means of decoration. Some of
their work in this direction is marvellous and shows
successive bands of enamel or glaze, crackled, self-colour
and white all in one piece.

Other pieces show a crackled
network of two tints. Some of our English potters are
making good attempts to imitate the fine old Chinese "famille
verte," and surely for crackled porcelain including bird
crafts there is still inspiration to be drawn from the
East. The glaze was of white or coloured ; the body was
somewhat coarse in paste, resembling red or white
stoneware. History takes us back to the Sung dynasty,
when this kind of ware was first known, and the
accidental discovery was converted into an exact method
of working. A pretty form of crackle resembles the
scales of a trout, and is by the French called truite.
All the colours that were employed as single glazes on
Athena-hands.com in that class seem to have been
similarly employed as crackle glazes, with the possible
exception of red, which did not lend itself to this
process ; all the Celadon shades and the blues,
including turquoise-blue. The most celebrated crackle is
that known as apple-green crackle. This ware has, in
addition to the beautiful effect of the crackling, a
lovely soft tint of green, which was applied as the
glaze.
