Chapter 1,148: Carved Hongfu Qitian Gaiwan on Red Ground
For example, Fahua porcelain, as long as it is well made, is no worse than enamel porcelain.
Of course, enamel color is more precious, but enamel color is glazed pottery, similar to glazed tiles, and more refined.
Fa Huacai is also called "Fa Huacai" or "Fa Huacai".
Originally it refers to the color applied on enamel wares. Later, the color was applied on porcelain using the same method as enamel wares, also known as "enamel color".
It is characterized by fine craftsmanship, bright colors, protruding patterns on the surface of the porcelain body, strong three-dimensional effect, and strong decorative effect.
Enamel enamel is no longer just a porcelain-based enamel ware, but an emerging decoration method for porcelain.
This kind of enamel color was created in the Yuan Dynasty and uses the "standing powder" technique in color painting.
It uses a special mud tube to squeeze out the mud containing tooth salt as a flux, and evenly forms a convex pattern wheel on the surface of the porcelain tire.
Use plain red, peacock green, yellow, light pink and other color materials to fill in the decorative colors, and then enter the kiln for a second time to be fired at low temperature.
Around the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Jingzhen's technique for imitating enamel wares was to first carve patterns and lines on the repaired blanks.
Then use a pen with the same mud as the blank tire to pile up uniform convex lines on the contour line.
It is fired in the kiln into a solid body, then filled with various colors of enamel glaze according to the drawing requirements, and then fired in the kiln a second time.
It is characterized by fine craftsmanship, bright colors, protruding patterns on the surface of the porcelain body, strong three-dimensional effect, and strong decorative effect.
It can be said that these techniques are very classic and worth learning.
Generally speaking, if you can learn one of them, you can have a lifetime of food and drink.
No matter who you are, you will learn such crafts and techniques as long as you have the opportunity, right?
Chen Wenzhe has better conditions and can learn more.
Of course, he did not study simply for the sake of learning. The main thing he needed to learn was that the things he needed to learn were all useful and would be used later in the process of making porcelain.
For example, when using Lotus Painting technique, does it only show one glaze color?
Definitely not. As mentioned above, Hokage Ai is a decorative color filled with plain red, peacock green, yellow, light pink and other color materials.
So many colorful materials are concentrated on one piece of porcelain, or a craft. If you don't understand or understand anything, the firing may fail.
Therefore, you should try your best to learn all the skills you can learn.
It’s okay to leave it there without using it. If you don’t know how to use it, then you won’t be able to produce some top-level works of craftsmanship.
Chen Wenzhe now feels deeply about the saying that one should live and learn.
However, time is tight now, so he usually learns what he uses.
After accumulating for such a period of time, Chen Wenzhe felt that the production of pinnacle red glaze porcelain should also be put on the agenda.
This time, he made single-color copper-red glaze porcelain.
Therefore, a batch of ordinary copper red glazes were fired at the same time. In the end, Chen Wenzhe focused his main energy on the bright red Chinese red.
After all, this is the flourishing Chinese red made by gathering together five thousand years of Chinese history.
After many trial firings, Chen Wenzhe has completed firing three times in a row.
Up to now, there are still several kilns that have not completed the process. After all, each kiln of Chinese red requires entering and starting the kiln multiple times.
At this point, Chen Wenzhe can accurately grasp the entire firing process of Chinese red porcelain.
That's why he had the confidence to produce some pinnacle Chinese red porcelain models with complex craftsmanship and high technical difficulty.
Ever since he saw the treasures in the internal database of the Pearl of Sui Dynasty, Chen Wenzhe has been feeling a little itchy!
Especially after seeing the stunning colors of Xuande's ruby red-glazed monk's hat pot and jade pot spring vase, he had long wanted to imitate all the precious porcelain preserved in the Sui Marquis Pearl.
For example, this time, the first thing he wanted to bake was a red-ground engraved Hongfu Qitian tureen.
Don't look at this as a small bowl. The craftsmanship is really complicated to make, and the firing is even more difficult.
And it can be regarded as the final work of Chinese red porcelain!
Continuing to make red porcelain, it is still the most classic red porcelain. It can be said that this is another top-notch craftsmanship known as the eternal masterpiece.
This is a kind of utensil with typical oriental red beauty, and its name is called Hongfu Qitian Gaiwan carved with red ground.
The most advanced technique is the red-picking technique.
Red is an auspicious and mysterious color in traditional Chinese culture.
The Chinese nation's love for it has been recorded in its long history, which can be traced back to the vermilion lacquer wooden bowl more than 7,000 years ago.
Later, in the smoke and clouds of history, red penetrated every bit of our country's life.
Whether it is myths and legends or real life, red has undoubtedly become the symbol of our country.
Withered lacquer is a treasure of traditional crafts of the Chinese nation.
It started with lacquer ware, which is a work of art that uses lacquer as raw material, applies layers of lacquer to the carcass to an appropriate thickness, and then processes and carves it.
When withered lacquer appeared on the stage of history, the collision with Chinese red gave rise to a craft that will last forever, and that is "red paint".
Bright but not gaudy, warm and rich yet moist, simple and solemn but with a calm connotation, red instantly shocked everyone and became the Chinese red that best represents the Chinese nation.
Of course, this tureen is not made of wood or lacquer, but of porcelain. Its full name is Hongdi Carved Hongfu Qitian tureen.
The whole bowl is made using engraving techniques, and the bowl is covered with swastika patterns.
The unique color of red is rich in texture, and the picture is carved into three parts of the wood, which is extremely three-dimensional.
Chen Wenzhe learned gold painting before and now uses it.
The gold-painted craftsmanship on this tureen, combined with the red glaze color, demonstrates its warm yet calm elegance.
The auspicious cloud heart pattern surrounds the rim of the bowl, with blue embellishments. The Wanfu gate opens at the foot of the bowl, and the base is surrounded by a dragon pattern.
The entire tureen has exquisite patterns, bright color, and overall luxury and solemnity.
The outer wall of the bowl is engraved with gold bats. The vivid bats spread their wings and fly high on it. They are smart and interesting, symbolizing freedom.
The entire tureen is mainly red in color, with golden accents, implying the meaning of prosperity and brilliance.
The bat in the porcelain decoration has the homophone of "blessing", symbolizing continuous longevity and happiness.
The lid of the bowl has an open rim, a round body shape, soft and smooth lines, and a high mouth, making it easy to hold. This helps dissipate heat and is not easy to burn your hands. It is suitable for tea drinkers of different stages.
This tureen is purely hand-carved. Its noble and elegant glaze color has a mystery that cannot be copied. Each piece is unique and can only be found but not sought.
In order to pursue the clarity of texture, JDZ high white clay is selected as raw material, carved with graceful lines, and matched with gold and red glaze to show the mysterious charm of oriental beauty.
This piece of porcelain has a very simple shape, just a covered bowl.
However, the process is really complicated. Not to mention the patterns, it is just a carving process, which cannot be completed by ordinary people.
