The Fantastic Ge Ware of Chinese Porcelain
Chinese porcelain can be found anywhere today, because it is a part of antique pottery such as plates, bowls, cups, and other important dishes.
Back in the past porcelain made from Chinese had very special specifics, including almost impossible finish to remake, special glaze, different types of wares and so on.
Ge ware is one of these wonderful wares which have a funny meaning in name because it actually means in Chinese big brother.
This is not based on the TV show but it is based on a Chinese myth where two brothers working in a Chinese town were living together and one of them created the celadon style ceramics, but the other brother privately produced the Ge Ware.
This ware is very unique because it has a yellow glaze and a fine finish with red lines.
It can also be found with gray glazes with one pair of crackles while the first style has two of them.
Jingdezhen is the Chinese city where this ware is thought to have been produced in larger quantities.
The Asian Art Museum is a large world wide known museum which carries some designs made from this ge ware.
In general this ware has an outstanding and eye catching pattern of crackle in a dark nuance of black color.
This unique ware is still used today to produce new products of this pottery, but however it can't ever be the same and as special, as in the past.
Porcelain dishes made from this ware are very expensive because they have a high quality and they will be a lot more expensive if they are antique.
An antique dish that has the ge ware on is fragile, and has to be handled with care because sending it to the porcelain expert for reparation will cost an arm and a leg.
