《孔雀开屏》丨Kongque Kaiping, a Jiaotai porcelain vessel depicting a peacock in full display

Kongque Kaiping (Jiaotai porcelain vessel depicting a peacock in full display) is crafted from high-quality black and white kaolin clay sourced from the Dangyangyu village of Jiaozuo city, Central China's Henan province. Using the traditional Jiaotai technique of the Song Dynasty, thousands of fine black and white clay strips are meticulously twisted and woven, creating a pattern resembling a peacock with its tail fanned out. The overall form is both graceful and majestic, bringing the peacock to life with exquisite detail.

这件《孔雀开屏》绞胎瓷作品，原料取自当阳峪本地盛产的黑、白原矿高岭土。作品沿用宋代传统绞胎工艺，将上万条细小的黑白泥条精心绞揉、编织排列，最终入窑烧制而成。其纹理井然有序，形似孔雀开屏，整体造型柔美大气，栩栩如生。
