Nowadays, every piece of handicraft made by Chen Wenzhe is exquisite.
Therefore, the newly fired porcelain should not be worse than the previous ones.
As for porcelain varieties that are simple in shape and of high value, there are actually not many options to choose from.
The shape of the vessel is simple, so he can bake more, and within a limited time, he can
Chen Wenzhe absolutely cannot refuse to make more works.
Anyway, they are all interspersed with production. The firing of these porcelains does not interfere with each other much, and can even make full use of time, so why not do it?
Now Chen Wenzhe is planning that when making the above types of porcelain, it is best to fire some single-color glazes in a planned manner.
Just like the first single-color glaze chrysanthemum petal plate, which is very good, it is also a relatively simple type of porcelain.
certainly,
He has already specially baked a batch,
For example, green glazed porcelain and red glazed porcelain are all fired in one large series.
And up to now, he has not completed the final pinnacle work of red glazed porcelain.
Now we can only proceed slowly step by step, first green glaze, then red glaze, then black glaze, yellow glaze, and even a batch of white glaze porcelain can be specially fired.
There are quite a lot of things that need to be done by him. For example, he also wants to imitate a series of porcelain sets, such as the Four Treasures of the Study series!
Now that he has the foundation, the easiest thing to make is actually a small cup like this.
After all, he has the energy to make Liuxia lamps, and he has also mastered the kiln transformation process, which is very beneficial for firing Jianzhan lamps.
And Jianzhan fully met all his requirements.
Jianzhan refers to the black-glazed tea bowls fired in Jiankiln, that is, the black-glazed teacups of Jiankiln.
Most of the black-glazed porcelain produced by kilns built in the Song Dynasty were tea bowls.
Jianzhan is a representative of black-glazed porcelain and was used as a royal tea set in the Song Dynasty.
Although his main business now is red-glazed porcelain, especially top-notch treasures such as the Liuxia Zhan and the secret-glazed Liuxia Zhan.
However, during the period, he adaptively fired some black glazes, which did not affect his improvement of the firing technology of red glazed porcelain at all.
Besides, the shape of Jianzhan is simple enough. It is a small cup with a large open mouth, or a small bowl.
As for the imitation threshold, the difficulty of imitating high-quality lamps is mainly due to the kiln change of the glaze color, and the rest are very simple.
Of course, it is just a glaze-colored kiln change, which is very difficult to imitate, and ordinary people cannot do it at all.
The most important thing is that the firing technique of Jianzhan is in the Sui Marquis Pearl, and he can learn it at will.
This still can't produce a batch of high-quality jianzhan? If he can, then what are he waiting for?
In principle, Jianzhan is made of black-glazed porcelain. He used to make doucai with black glaze in it.
As for professional black glaze, he has never fired it before.
certainly,
Eggshell black pottery,
It was unglazed pottery, not porcelain, but the technology was well thought out.
He already knows how to make Liuxia lamps, so he is really not afraid of learning how to make Jianzhan lamps.
Although the actual firing of Jianzhan is technically very difficult, he is confident that he can learn it quickly, especially the Tianmu Yaozhuanzhan.
The Tianmu Yao turns into a Jianzhan. Only the little devil has a few genuine items hidden there!
Unfortunately, it is really difficult to burn the Celestial Eye Yao. The main reason is that you may not be able to get what you want even if you have the skills. If you want to change the Celestial Eye Yao, you have to look at luck.
If it were the original, he would definitely not be able to do it without a specimen for him to learn from.
You must know that there are no truly good kiln-shaped lamps in China that have been handed down from generation to generation.
I have to say here that the little devil has really been blessed with good fortune in the past two or three hundred years.
Looking at their recent history, almost every step has been taken correctly. They were pigs standing on the edge of the wind before, and they will definitely be able to take off.
Not to mention other technological achievements, let’s talk about porcelain collection.
Just because they admire Chinese civilization, they like to collect all the good things in China.
It is because of this that many of the antiques they have hidden in the country are not available in the country.
For example, they liked the clay figurine Zhang's works and imported them in large quantities very early. So now many precious clay figurine Zhang's works are hidden in the little devil's house.
There are also other famous works by Li Bai, Tang Dynasty Tang Qin, Tang Dynasty Tang Dao, Tianmu Jianzhan, etc. We don’t have many in our country, but there are more in Neon.
Speaking of collecting, Jianzhan, as a genuine collection of Song porcelain, started relatively late, so the threshold for entry is low.
In recent years, the collection of jianzhan has been gradually gaining momentum, and it even became a new favorite in the investment and collection circles, and is deeply loved by collectors.
In addition, the market value of jianzhan has been rising in recent years. The value of many old and famous lamps from the Song Dynasty has doubled several times.
At this time, many collectors became rich overnight by virtue of building lamps.
There are many types of jianzhan, and modern people collect more of them.
For example, Chen Wenzhe knew a Chinese lamp king who had more than 5,000 jian lamps in his collection.
Its collection of silver-faced wares, persimmon red glaze, green halo, Jun red glaze, gold Ganoderma lucidum, glass, colorful, partridge spot, silver halo, Lange kiln and many other built-made wares, all with exquisite glaze colors.
Among them are "Ten Thousand Mountains Can Be Dyeed", "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", "Golden Gold", "Persimmon Red Chrysanthemum" and many other works by famous masters, which can be said to be of great value.
The "Ten Thousand Mountains Can Be Dyeed" lamp made by Master Li Ximei was sold for 26 million yuan at a special auction held in September 2017 at a special auction of works by representative inheritors of Chinese jian kilns and lamp burning techniques.
Shoot out.
It became the highest-priced lot on the day, setting a new high for modern jianzhan works at auction.
Please see clearly, this is a modern lamp, not an antique.
Li Ximei·"Ten Thousand Mountains Can Be Dyed" Building a kiln and a lamp is not easy.
The patterns on this jianzhan work are made from rabbit hair kiln. The glazed patterns include undulating mountains and sea of clouds, just like a beautiful ink painting.
In terms of shape, it is a rare large and heavy weapon, and the difficulty of firing it is self-evident.
The firing of this vessel is rare. Although the master tried firing it many times in the later period, it could never be copied again, which shows its collection value.
Therefore, in addition to the great collection value of old lamps from the Song Dynasty, the value of lamps built by modern famous masters is also not low, and there is no shortage of collectors.
Chen Wenzhe immediately thought of making Jianzhan, mainly because although Jianzhan is simple in shape, it has many varieties, including more rare and rare glazes.
In fact, in real terms, there are six types of jianzhan.
There are black gold lamps, rabbit hair lamps, oil drop lamps, partridge spot lamps, obsidian lamps, and variegated glaze lamps.
If you want to make Jianzhan, you must first know these rare varieties.
Let’s talk about black gold first, which is a typical glaze color for building kilns.
Some surfaces of black gold glaze are as black as lacquer;
Some are black with green in them, which is the so-called "green and black";
Some are dark brown or sauce black;
The glaze layer of black gold glaze in the mature period is generally thicker, "black and moist in color", and the best ones are bright and radiant, showing a solemn and elegant beauty.
