Museum Arts and Ceramic


Precisely on Saturday May 21, 2011, I along with four friends namely: Raisha, Arin, Dara and Afifah. We plan on going to the City Tour which is a historic site because the presence of many museums, where we visited the various museums of long standing such as the Museum Fatahillah and new museums in recent years was inaugurated as Bank Indonesia and Bank Museum independent. Our journey begins with our meeting at Al-Azhar University Busway terminal, because me and my friends would use public transport ie the direction of its path Transjakarta Blok M - Kota, enough to Rp 3500 I had reached the area of ​​the city. Quite a long journey, because I'll get off at the last station in the City Stasuin Transjakarta. As we all know, the weather in Jakarta is very hot during the day, especially in the area of ​​the City. Although the heat of the sun bengitu made us wipe the sweat from his forehead, but we still semnagat scour the long history of Chinese dynasties of the time, such as the Yuan Dynasty (1229 - 1368), then along with the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty Stand (1368 - 1644) is The first dynasty large ocean surf to the south, long before Columbus voyage. Voyage led by Zheng He and carrying around 27. 280 people. Then after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, stand in the Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao's first General Kuangyin with a bachelor's Song Taizu. During the Song dynasty, there is the most historic thing for the whole world, namely in creating it with paper money during the reign of Emperor Renzong, in lieu of money if heavy metals are taken and need lots of places to store it. There are still many more Dynasties - Chinese dynasty that has not been told.
After I arrived at the station of the city, I headed to the Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics is located at street number 2 Pos Kota, West Jakarta, and coincide on the right side Fatahillah Museum. So if you want to visit the Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics, you will not have far to walk from the station Transjakarta City, but you only need to spend money of Rp 2000 to pay admission Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics. When walking a few steps after passing the entrance to the museum, you will likely display a variety of ceramics such as glassware, vases, plates, bowls and other glassware which is in found on the ocean seabed in Indonesian waters. Not only are the various collections of ceramic tableware, but if you are to the second floor by climbing a circular staircase in the central hall, you will likely display collections of relics of the dynasties of China in ancient times, such as a large plate, large mangkug, celadon plates, miniature bench seladin and others that these objects are relics of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to relics from the Yuan Dynasty, there are also relics from the Ming Dynasty, Dynasty Tsong and various Chinese dynasties throughout the world.
Yuan Dynasty (1279 - 1368)
Relics of the Yuan Dynasty Ceramics
More in the know with the reign of the Mongol Yuan. This period is very short in comparison with previous periods or after. The characteristics of ceramics in this period are not much different from the Song Dynasty; mostly have a single color. At this time starting in the know glessir blue - white cobalt. This type of celadon from the previous period is also much in production; decorative motifs, among others; fish, dragon / dragon, phoniex, Peonies, chrysanthemum, lotus and classical foral scrolis. The technique in use is a print and sculpture. In addition to these colors are also in the production of jars, urns and single glazed passu among others brown, decorative motifs dragon / dragon or a floral scroll.
Because market demand for the unification of motifs from the north and south as well as Mongols and demand for the exports to Eastern regions such as Japan and Korea. Yuan Dynasty to the innovation terhada ceramic production. Yuan Dynasty menlakukan redecorating for motives such as kappa shape; motif derived from the metal in the East, then menggangbungkan the motives of the Tang Dynasty which was also the motive of the Jin Dynasty and take motifs from ancient Chinese bronzes and jades.
At that time period, production shifted to the south kermik causing foreign trade route or routes of export to the Japanese market, India and Africa. In Jiangxi province, china qinbai cirri show - in true tones - blue with a new type of porcelain designs of red copper and cobalt blue glaze are continuously in production. Celadons with his trademark olive green color that outperform competitors trademarks of Song Yuan. There are a number of techniques that are created and further developed, especially for rocks that are produced de Cizhou area, Shanxi Province. Have characteristics - traits dark, and decorated with a variety of ways such as white slip painted with black pigment, iron glaze and sometimes uses a very detailed process such as sgraffito, overglazes, iridescent and various other teknil.
In other periods, the Yuan Dynasty also generate a lot of ceramic or porcelain goods. The production of the Southern Song Dynasty Yuan Dynasty passed by. The most famous product is in production Longquan celadon, temblikar is created with celadon glazing techniques. In large amounts, at age 13-15, Longquan celadon exported to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, a large plate celadon welcomed in Islamic countries.
There is a characteristic that distinguishes between the ceramics produced by the Yuan Dynasty of the ceramics produced by another dynasty of that era. Trait characterized by a thicker vessel pot and light bluish glaze becomes more opaque. Color tone became more white milk or egg whites in a tone generally, incised motifs that more subtle and deeper wounds tmemiliki. For comparison, the more impressed they have complex motives and densely decorated in the ship.
According to information I received, in the early 2000s, a large number of similar goods or celadon ceramic or porcelain salvaged and there are at least two wrecks that sank in Indonesian waters. Two shipwrecks, the first discovered and identified by fishermen and salvagers. Many have speculated that the wreck was actually shipwrecked goods, while others menduka that they are modern copies of the ship that sunk in the sea to fool prospective buyers ceramic goods. Based on that information, then the collection of celadon and ceramics in the Arts and Ceramics MuseumSeni today is the result of a relic ship that sank in Indonesian waters. But it is not certain whether it is a relic of old ships or boats are drowned accidentally on, problem solved difficult because only few people can menidentifikasikan celadon ceramic combustion of the original or derived from the dynasty - the previous dynasty.
Yuan Dynasty adlah key period for development of shooting techniques blue and white porcelain in China. Blue and white porcelain has become a major product of China by the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and Qing Dynasty (1368-1911). Blue and white Yuan Dynasty Porcelen large in size, with roughcast thick lines. Generally there is a big bottle, big pot, big bowl and a large plate. Karna using a backward technique, which made it rough, not smooth as that created by the Ming and Qing Dynasties. While the ice sheets of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty is thicker than the Ming and Qing Dynasty, because of thicker metal in the glaze raw materials. The major manufacturers are blue and white porcelain Jingdezhen, the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, there are furnaces for the production of porcelain blue and white for the Zhejiang province of eastern China's Yunnan, Southwestern China.
