Chapter 1,114 Its so beautiful that it cant be better
There are too many classic porcelains in the Yongxuan period. Especially in the Xuande period, the number of red glaze products not only increased significantly, but also outperformed the Yongle bright red glaze wares.
During this period, many new varieties such as ruby red, Jihong, Jihong, Jihong, chicken blood red, and ox blood red appeared.
Due to his superb firing technology, Chen Wenzhe only needs to make a few pieces of all porcelain.
In this process, the main tasks are color mixing and temperature control for firing.
All of this is to serve the color of the copper red glaze.
Of course, other historical features are also needed.
For example, Xuande red glaze is rich in color, and often at the corners of the objects, fetal bones appear and white veins appear, adding to the changes in the viewer's vision, which is thought-provoking.
At this time, the red glaze wares had more diverse shapes, which is why Chen Wenzhe chose to imitate them from Xuande.
During the Xuande period, in addition to bowls, plates, and goblets, washers, stoves, plum vases, monk hat kettles, brine kettles, pear-style kettles, etc. were also common.
As auxiliary decoration, in addition to dark flowers, there are also gold-painted ones.
For example, on Xuande bowls, the line of white glaze formed on the edge of the mouth is commonly known as "dengcao mouth".
The accumulated glaze of the red glaze appears blue-grey, with dense bubbles in the thickest part. This is a typical characteristic of the Xuande red glaze of the era.
Its color is deep and does not flow or deglaze, so it is called "Xuanhong".
These types of utensils and techniques are not difficult for Chen Wenzhe.
However, some classic porcelains are very troublesome to make, like a monk's hat pot.
It turns out that Chen Wenzhe has made a large number of monk's hat pots, including ruby red monk's hat pots.
However, at that time, he did as he pleased and did not imitate the past.
But things are different now. It is still a bit troublesome to imitate the Xuande ruby red glazed monk's hat teapot.
The most difficult thing is that the hat pot is very slow to make, but other things are very fast to make.
Now that we have made ruby red glazed porcelain, we must make a qualified ruby red monk's hat pot.
The main reason is that this kind of ruby red monk's hat pot is so beautiful. Such a work is still valuable even if it does not pretend to be a work from the Xuande period.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe is definitely not imitating for money, at least not now.
After all, he knew of a Ming Xuande ruby red teapot that had been collected by Emperor Yongzheng in his late residence. It was previously valued at only 56 million.
With Chen Wenzhe's current net worth, 50 to 60 million is nothing at all. If he does well, his works may be worth hundreds of millions!
Because now that monk's hat pot, as long as it appears on the market, will definitely be worth over 100 million.
Although I am confident that I can imitate it flawlessly, I still need to be careful to imitate the shape and glaze color of the Xuande period vessels.
Because the treasured monk hat pot from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty is grand and beautiful.
Not to mention ruby red, even the blue and white ones from many periods before and after are sometimes even more attractive than the blue and white ones from the Yuan Dynasty.
From the perspective of blue and white porcelain, the blue and white porcelain of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty is like a treasure, and its glaze color belongs to the most beautiful period.
Although the porcelain of this period is not as beautiful as the Qianlong and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty, there are still many people collecting them.
This ruby-red monk's hat pot from the same period is now collected by the Wanwan Palace Museum, and ordinary people really have no chance to see it.
It is a ruby red pot with a whole body of red glaze. Just looking at the glaze makes it festive and atmospheric. This is what everyone likes about it.
Since it is a ruby red pot, its value must be as valuable as a gem, and its research value may even exceed that of Yuan blue and white.
The height of the whole pot is 20 centimeters, and the shape of the mouth of the pot is also quite interesting. It has a three-step gradually higher edge, and it looks like one layer is higher than the other.
Because its shape resembles a monk's hat, it is named Ming Xuande ruby red-glazed monk's hat teapot.
This pot is so beautiful. Chen Wenzhe has only seen a few pictures of it, and it has always been in his mind.
Also, the pictures I saw this time were not seen through external channels, but from the internal information database of Sui Houzhizhu.
This is very unusual. Chen Wenzhe really doesn't know why the Sui Marquis Pearl records a ruby red glazed monk's hat pot hidden in the Wanwan Museum.
At that time, Chen Wenzhe just took one look and was amazed.
This ruby red glazed monk's hat teapot, not to mention the shape, just the ruby-like glaze color, makes people don't know what to say.
Can porcelain really be made into precious stones? If not, then what is the reason for the gem luster and the bright color like pigeon blood red of that monk's hat pot?
And the overall style makes it look like a piece of work carved from rubies.
Take a closer look at this ruby red pot. The color is special, and the two ends of the pot handle are engraved with Ruyi-shaped decorations, which shows that the craftsmen at that time still paid great attention to some small details in the production.
The shape of the pointed flow and flat handle gives people a grand and dignified feeling, which is more solemn than ordinary blue and white porcelain.
Coupled with the rough craftsmanship of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, especially the upper cover with bead buttons, combined with the color of the red glaze, it is completely beautiful and grand.
It's so beautiful that it can't be bettered, there's no one like it!
This treasure, which was once treasured by Yongzheng's latent residence, is naturally loved by everyone.
Although Chen Wenzhe could ignore the historical content behind it, he already fell in love with this treasure the first time he saw it.
The shape of the pot is a rare monk's hat pot, which is also the most difficult to make. With a gorgeous gem-like enamel, it is so beautiful that it makes people enchanted!
A pot like this, with its ruby red color, would be liked by everyone who sees it, right?
After all, no one would dislike such a festive color as ruby red, right?
You know, although it is bright red, it is not gaudy at all. What we see is only the overall style, grandeur and excellence!
Even if someone with an indifferent nature and a simple heart sees such porcelain, they can't say it's bad, right?
Therefore, such a treasure is probably priceless in today's market.
In other words, there is a price on the market, but you can't buy it at all.
Such a price is just a sign, purely a number, because such a treasure really cannot be measured by price.
Such a Xuande ruby red monk's hat teapot is so rare, so beautiful and so precious!
Folks don't know if any collectors have it, and even if they do, Chen Wenzhe certainly won't be able to see it.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe has seen some imitations.
However, those so-called ruby red monk's hat pots, not to mention the shape of the vessel, are just the same color and enamel, but they are very different.
Let’s just say that the noble among porcelain, carmine red porcelain, whether it is carmine or carmine water, when placed in front of this ruby red monk’s hat pot, it immediately becomes an ugly duckling. The difference is so big.
