陈卜清紫砂

Chen Buqing's Purple Clay (Zisha)

清代乾隆十三年紫砂大师陈卜清，陈卜清系明末紫砂大师陈仲美嫡孙，亦对陈氏制紫砂有所传承与发扬。明末陈仲美为其最著名的紫砂的名手代表，他先在景德镇制作瓷质玩具，有“类鬼工”之誉，后至宜兴，他将瓷雕艺术和制壶巧妙结合，善于重镂叠刻，其作品为人们所珍爱。
In the 13th year of the Qing dynasty's Qianlong reign (1748), the master of purple clay, Chen Buqing, who was a direct descendant of the Ming dynasty's master of purple clay, Chen Zhongmei, inherited and developed the art of purple clay making from the Chen family. Chen Zhongmei was known as the master of purple clay in the late Ming dynasty. He first made porcelain toys in Jingdezhen, earning him the title of "like a devilish worker." Later, he went to Yixing, where he cleverly combined porcelain carving art with teapot making, was skilled at intricate carving, and his works were treasured by people.

到了清代，陈仲美的嫡孙陈卜清，更将紫砂艺术发展到雕塑难度极大的紫砂弥勒佛身上，其产品已不仅是文人的玩赏品，而成为皇宫的贡品。这时的泥色亦有多种，除朱泥、紫色外，还有白泥、乌泥、黄泥、梨皮泥、松花泥等各种色泽。非常杰出的创造，独领制紫砂风骚。
During the Qing dynasty, Chen Zhongmei's direct descendant, Chen Buqing, took the art of purple clay making to the extreme difficulty of sculpting the Maitreya Buddha in purple clay. His products were not only appreciated by literati as collectibles but also became tribute items in the imperial palace. At this time, there were various colors of clay, including red clay, purple clay, white clay, black clay, yellow clay, pear skin clay, and pine flower clay. His outstanding creations led the trend in the art of making purple clay teapots.
