Chapter 1070: The First Porcelain in the Official Kiln of the Republic
"There seems to be a flower gob in the poem, why don't we make another flower gob?"
Seeing that Zhang Gu was too stubborn, Chen Wenzhe deliberately diverted his attention.
Just thinking about it in a flash, Chen Wenzhe thought of the flower goblet in the poem.
In fact, this is normal. Ru porcelain's unique artistic charm of elegance has tempted many poets to become passionate and uncontrollable.
It's really normal to write poems in praise.
Gao Shiqi, an important minister of the Qing Dynasty, talked about the "Ru Kiln Flower Gu" in "Guitian Collection", saying: "The Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty was quite similar to it (Chai's Kiln). At that time, the kiln was set up in Ruzhou, and the people did not dare to build it privately. It is not possible now. get more."
Emperor Qianlong was even more fascinated by Ru porcelain. He not only wrote the most poems, but also wrote the most poems about you.
And ask more craftsmen to engrave it on the bottom of your porcelain.
Who can see the beauty of the firewood kiln and the blue sky and the passing rain?
Ru kiln magnets are similar,
The officialdom is selfless.
The pink and green body is clean and golden, and the beauty is full of dark beauty.
The sound of the edict is jade, and the flower branches must be planted.
This poem comes from Gao Shiqi's "Guitian Collection". This poem vividly describes the beauty of a Ru kiln flower goblet.
This time Chen Wenzhe focused on teaching Zhanggu how to make flower gobs from the Song Dynasty, which was not easy because the flower gobs in the Song Dynasty emphasized the shape of the vessel and had a strong retro style.
Compared with the flower goblets of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the flower goblets of the Ming Dynasty were mainly three-section, with a trumpet mouth at the top, a bulging belly in the middle, and a phoenix tail at the bottom.
In addition to being used for display, early flower goblets were mostly used among the people for flower arrangement and hall decoration.
Because their functions are different, their shapes are also different.
At this time, you need to be particularly careful when copying.
Of course, there are too many imitations of these things, so it’s not interesting.
Chen Wenzhe imitated two or three pieces in one dynasty.
When the time comes, I will give one to Wu San, and he will keep the rest, or put them into Yi Nian Tang and sell them.
Anyway, depending on the situation, even if it is not sold and put into his private museum collection, it should still reach the level.
Not to mention making it look old and authentic, even if he simply makes antique porcelain without making it old, it should be able to reach the level of a collection.
This kind of porcelain will not look awkward no matter where you place it.
Chen Wenzhe is so confident now that the antique porcelain he has made in the past few days has become an authentic collection-level treasure.
Even modern works of art can be called modern official kilns.
Of course, this is a private official kiln that promotes modern business, but if he takes it seriously, is it really impossible to make real modern official kiln porcelain?
Thinking of this, Chen Wenzhe stopped what he was doing.
Whether it is making Ru kiln or pastel zhaodao porcelain,
There is a lot of waiting time in between. If you don’t make chrysanthemum dishes during this time, you can’t be idle, right?
Also, it seems that when he made the chrysanthemum petal plate before, he had a suitable white glaze, plus high-quality kaolin imported from Jingzhen, and with a little mixing, he might be able to imitate the first Chinese porcelain.
Anyway, the second batch of imitation Ru kilns has been finished, and I just used this time to bake something else.
Maybe after he staggered several types of complex-fired porcelains from each other, there would be no waiting time.
The time spent waiting for each other, some porcelain with complicated craftsmanship, and porcelain with laborious firing are just complementary to each other.
And the enamel brush holder, which is known as the first porcelain in the official kilns of the Republic and was produced in 1965, can perfectly fill this gap.
Modern people all know that carmine and enamel are synonymous with high-priced porcelain, and as long as porcelain uses these techniques, it is not simple.
Especially for enamel-colored porcelain, "when enamel is displayed, the price will be sky-high." This is definitely not an empty statement.
Chen Wenzhe had thought about making this kind of high-end porcelain before, but he was not prepared enough. One was because of the inheritance of craftsmanship, and the other was the raw materials.
And what does he lack now? He already has several pieces of Ming and Qing enamel porcelain in his hands.
He has both cloisonné enamel from the Ming Dynasty and porcelain enamel from the Qing Dynasty.
It turned out that he had seen its production process through retrospection, but because the production process was too complicated and required too many materials to be prepared, he never copied it.
But things are different now. He now has a lot of suitable materials. The most important thing is that he has accumulated enough and now has time.
Besides, it shouldn’t be too difficult to imitate a pen holder with simple patterns.
The enamel pen holder with flower and bird inscriptions was made in 1965. This is a special porcelain made for the chief.
Therefore, it is also known as the first porcelain in modern official kilns. This porcelain is made of Jingzhen Linchuan kaolin, a thin body and high white glaze porcelain.
Size: height 16.2cm, inscription: Zhonghai Huairentang Ceramics Research Treasures, 1965, celadon-glazed regular script, handwritten by a famous artist.
This pen holder is made of JDZ Linchuan kaolin, a thin-bodied high-white glaze porcelain. It is crystal clear and as white as jade. When you tap it gently with your fingers, the sound is crisp and sweet.
When viewed against the light, the wall appears translucent.
This porcelain must have reached the highest state of being "as thin as paper, as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, and as loud as a chime".
Linchuan kaolin is the best clay for making porcelain. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been the clay used in official kilns.
It is an official monopoly and is nearly exhausted due to small reserves and low production.
Such crafts as "as thin as paper, as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, and as loud as a chime" were already passed by Chen Wenzhe when he was imitating Mao porcelain.
What's more, Ru porcelain, which is now imitating Shengyu, has brought his various craftsmanship to the peak.
So, process is not an issue.
Then there are the materials. He has already bought kaolin clay, which is high-quality kaolin clay and specially made porcelain clay. Most people will never be able to buy it.
If Chen Wenzhe could get some, it must have been obtained by Li Jinli through replacement.
Now for Chen Wenzhe, the most difficult thing to do is the enamel craft.
This pen holder is simple in shape and simple in decoration, but it is made of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong palace enamels.
This makes the process extremely complex and difficult to produce.
Combining the pinnacle skills of the enamel-colored porcelain of the three generations of the Qing Dynasty, how can a piece of enamel-colored porcelain produced in this way be inferior?
In addition, the painting on this tube is exquisite, and the apricot-blossom pigeon is vivid. It is accompanied by a poem by a martial artist from the Qing Dynasty, describing the little apricot-blossom pigeon. Gao He is unruly and unwilling to rely on power.
It is a metaphor for the heroic spirit of the young republic that is not afraid of blockade and power.
The paintings and calligraphy on this piece of porcelain are all handmade. Through the graceful and elegant calligraphy and painting, it can be seen that it was made by a famous person.
This pen holder was produced by the Ceramics Research Institute of the Ministry of Light Industry of China. It was authorized by the Jingzhen Ceramics Research Institute in 1965 to design and manufacture it specifically for the First Minister. It is a high-quality product made of enamel colors since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Such a fine piece of enamel-colored porcelain must be the highest level of Chinese ceramic research and production since the Qianlong reign, so it is known as the first porcelain in the official kilns of the Republic.
To make such a piece of porcelain, the most difficult thing for Chen Wenzhe is the mixing of enamel.
This point is not difficult for Chen Wenzhe now. After all, he has also seen Yongzheng enamel porcelain.
As long as you have seen enamel-colored porcelain from the Yongzheng period, refining enamel-colored porcelain is not a problem.
Speaking of this, we have to mention another achievement of Yongzheng, which is the refining of enamel.
