Introduction
In the 1980s, a trend of artistic crafts was emerging. Mr. Lin Zhenlong, the owner of Ciyang Kiln in Tucheng District, New Taipei City, invited senior painters to freely paint on the porcelain using the fired plain porcelain as the canvas and the overglaze color as the color material. Then it is finished by Mr. Lin. After all, painters are not as comfortable mastering glazes as they are with oil paints, so they all start practicing with small plates, and then advance to large plates, lamp holders, urns, vats, etc. The painting thinking and techniques expressed are different from those of ordinary traditional craftsmen's colored paintings. The atmosphere has a completely different flavor and is highly collectible.
To paint this plate, I used simple lines drawn by a pen to depict flowers, leaves, and branches based on the characteristics of glaze, which is different from Mr. Yan Shuilong's usual meticulous work on oil paintings. This plate can be used for decoration and appreciation, and of course it can also be used as a serving vessel for fruit and tempura.
