18세기 문장 자기의 장식 문양에 관한 연구

Abstract

Chinese armorial porcelain, a kind of classical trade porcelain, prevailed in the late Ming Dynasty, on which the complicated decorative patterns by coloured drawing were deeply favored by European imperial households and nobles, and a “Chinese style” surged in Europe in the 18th century. It is a classic Chinese trade porcelain integrating Chinese with Western art and culture with high artistic research value. In this study, solicitude is shown for decorative patterns on the Chinese armorial porcelains prevailing in the Sino-European porcelain trade in the 18th century. The purpose of this study is not only to introduce the historical background of family symbols in Chinese armorial porcelain decoration, but also to explore their artistic value. The research method is analysis of the examples of Chinese armorial porcelain with different patterns and themes on the basis of the prior study of them. The main contents are as follows: firstly, the concept and historical background of armorial bearings and Chinese armorial porcelains are introduced, and prior studies are systematically investigated. Then, the development and characteristics of Chinese armorial porcelain decoration technologies are analyzed. Finally, the Chinese armorial porcelain patterns are classified into animal, plant, geometry, utensil, and other accessory patterns, and the specific photos of them are presented and analyzed in depth. The conclusions are as follows. Firstly, from the perspective of technology, different drawing techniques are adopted in different decorative patterns in Chinese armorial porcelain, which can be inferred from the patterns. Secondly, from the perspective of art, the Chinese armorial porcelain decoration absorbs the Western armorial bearings culture and presents a new style on the basis of Chinese traditional ceramic decoration by painting. Thirdly, from the perspective of historical value, the master status and family historical background can be inferred from the decorative pattern of Chinese armorial porcelain. The prior study in this field was rare. I hope this research can provide a valuable reference in the research of Chinese armorial porcelain decoration.
