[HobbyShow] Royal Doulton bone china & porcelain collection

In the mid-18th century, English potters had not succeeded in making hard-paste porcelain (as made in East Asia and Meissen porcelain) but found bone ash a useful addition to their soft-paste porcelain mixtures, giving strength. This became standard at the Bow porcelain factory in London (operating from around 1747), and spread to some other English factories. 

Developed by English potter Josiah Spode, bone china is known for its high levels of whiteness and translucency, and very high mechanical strength and chip resistance.

Bone china is almost the surrogate of English china.

This collection is not really for myself but I contributed to a big part of it , pay... ...

英國瓷器公司Royal Daulton的瓷偶是很多瓷器收藏愛好者心愛之物, Every bone china figure was modeled from a real person.

工藝精湛, 人物生動形象, 很多經典人物都有故事, 每個人物都有自己的名字. 曆史上英國的瓷藝家在瓷土中加入動物骨粉成分使得瓷器的toughness大增, 瓷器可以做的很薄, 顏色更純淨,所以英國瓷有個別名叫骨瓷, bone china. 鮮豔華麗的人物造型甚至是彼時女孩心目中的偶像, 那個年代的芭比娃娃, 作為自己的夢想而持有一生.

Here are a few from the collection.

有趣的是關於這個瓷偶的這段文字(並非每個瓷偶都有這樣的描述), 這個瓷偶設計的靈感來自於

詩人Rose Fyleman的一首詩: The Balloon Man 

I made a song named "The Balloon Man" out of this poem,  using the famous 'Scarborough Fair' music. The singer is 偶爾掉鏈子, 文學城網友.

Music: Scarborough Fair (Sarah Brightman version)

Lyrics generated from Rose Fyleman's poem " The Balloon Man" by the Big shot & Yihuajiemu

He always comes on market days,
holds balloons a lovely bunch
And in the market square he stays,
never seems to think of lunch.

red and purple, blue and green,
And when it's a sunny day
Tho' carts and people get between
You see them shining far away.

some are big and some are small,
tied together with a string,
And if there is a wind at all
They tug and tug like anything.

Some day perhaps he'll let them go
we shall see them sailing high,
And stand and watch them from below -
They'd look pretty in the sky !

HE always comes on market days,
holds balloons a lovely bunch
And in the market square he stays,
never seems to think of lunch.
