Jiaozhi Ceramic Figurines: Small Figures with Saturated Glaze

Several Koji pottery figurines displayed on a bookshelf or shelf. The figures of people and animals have a theatrical quality—wide-sleeved postures, exaggerated expressions, flowing sashes, and slightly deformed yet lively forms. The glazes are the saturated jewel tones characteristic of Koji pottery: peacock green, sapphire blue, carmine red, goose yellow, and ochre brown. The glaze layer is thick and lustrous, accumulating deeper in the folds and thinner on the raised parts, with a glass-like sheen and fine crazing on the surface. The ochre-red ceramic body is exposed at the bottom. They are placed individually on plain shelves, with wide spacing and ample white space around them. Avoid: depicting the glazes as low-saturation matte, making the forms realistic sculptures, adding a large number of figurines to create a cluttered pile, eliminating the thickness and fluidity of the glaze layer.

書架或層板上陳列的幾件交趾陶小擺件。人物與動物的造型帶有戲曲感——寬袖的姿態、誇張的表情、飛揚的衣帶,身形略微變形而生動。釉色是交趾陶特有的飽和寶石色:孔雀綠、寶藍、胭脂紅、鵝黃與赭褐,釉層厚而潤,在轉折處積釉較深、凸起處較淺,表面有玻璃般的光澤與細小的開片。底部露出赭紅色的陶胎。它們被單獨放在素色的層板上,間距寬,周邊留白。避免:把釉色畫成低彩度的霧面、讓造型變成寫實的雕塑、加入大量擺件變成雜貨堆、消除釉層的厚度與流動感。
