It is naturally easy for Chen Wenzhe to grasp all kinds of small details, and it is impossible for him to have these weaknesses.
This must be because his kiln-firing technology reached the master level early on.
Coupled with the many inheritance experiences he gained from the Sui Marquis Pearl, these allow him to master this shrinkage ratio very well.
Therefore, he could easily make a replica that was exactly the same size as the original porcelain.
And this is also a very advanced technology,
It’s really difficult for ordinary people to grasp.
Therefore, this time, in order to imitate the Ge Kiln vase, in addition to the body, glaze, and shape of the vessel, all small details must be imitated.
If it doesn't work, then there are still technical shortcomings.
After all, Chen Wenzhe’s choice to re-fire the Ge Kiln vase was not without purpose.
The Ge Kiln vase he is imitating now has a small mouth.
Long neck, sloping shoulders, round belly, and slightly drooping belly.
The bottom is a circle foot. The upper end of the circle foot is wide and the lower end is narrow. It is slightly slanted and has a feeling that it cannot be pinched by hand.
It has a dignified and beautiful shape. If you want to imitate such a device well, you must control the shrinkage ratio well.
Otherwise, it would be normal to produce a porcelain bottle that is numb, uneven, or even crooked.
Only when the shape of the vessel is ready can we consider the glaze color and the unique characteristics brought by the unique glaze.
This Ge Kiln vase imitated by Chen Wenzhe is covered with beige glaze, and the sole of the foot is unglazed and appears black.
The body of the device has black and beige patterns,
That is, the gold wire pattern.
As one of the five famous kilns,
Chen Wenzhe has long wanted to make a Ge Kiln work.
However, it turned out that he had never seen Ge kiln ware with his own eyes, so he had always lacked confidence.
This time the sudden change of the Sui Marquis Pearl allowed Chen Wenzhe to easily find all the related Ge kiln firing techniques in the knowledge treasure house of the Sui Marquis Pearl.
How can Chen Wenzhe still be able to endure this situation?
Next, he planned to make all the five famous kilns, and the reason why he made the Ge kiln bile bottle first was just because he knew the best about the Ge kiln.
After all, he already knew Ge Kiln well through various means before. The most important thing is that he can make porcelain from Di Kiln.
Although he has never done it before, his methods and skills in making brother kilns are pretty good.
After all, Ge Kiln and Di Kiln were developed by two brothers. Although they are very different, they still have many similarities in basics.
Based on my understanding of Ge Yao and Di Yao, Chen Wenzhe can actually write a paper.
After all, he is about to graduate. Even if he goes to an art university,
The homework that should be done also needs to be completed.
The main reason why I chose Ge Kiln to write my thesis is that there is an interesting historical mystery in it.
Because when "Ge Kiln" was first discovered, a systematic understanding was formed, and the world reached a consensus, it was confirmed to be a famous kiln of the Song Dynasty, which means that Ge Kiln was ranked as one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty.
Many people know this, and they all know that Ge Kiln plays a decisive role in the history of ceramics.
However, someone finally confirmed that Ge Kiln should be one of the most powerful workshops in the Longquan celadon kiln series of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Influenced by the craftsmanship of the official kilns, they produced a celadon with a glaze full of fragments.
Therefore, the more accurate statement recognized by people should be: Ge Kiln is one of the five famous kilns in China. It dates from the Southern Song Dynasty (doubtful), is characterized by a purple mouth and iron feet, and was founded by Zhang Shengyi.
There is only one era that is doubtful, because many historical materials prove that during the Song Dynasty, whether it was the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, there were no records about Ge Kiln.
Therefore, this statement is also recognized by many people.
Because there are many materials and archaeological excavations that show that Ge Kiln, especially the handed down Ge Kiln, was not produced during the Southern Song Dynasty, but was produced in the Yuan Dynasty after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.
It is full of controversy and mystery, which is why Chen Wenzhe made a special batch of Ge Kiln this time.
Just because Ge Kiln Ware is really special.
There are many special things about Ge Kiln porcelain. First of all, the glaze of the porcelain is full of fragments.
This is because the expansion coefficient of the matrix raw material when heated is greater than the expansion coefficient of the glaze layer. When the porcelain is cooled after firing, the matrix will break the surface glass glaze layer into pieces, which is called rubbish.
Here is the issue involving the shrinkage ratio. In short, it is thermal expansion and contraction.
It's just that the thermal expansion and contraction of the Ge kiln glaze is more severe. After being fired in the kiln, it expands and contracts.
In the end, the thermal expansion coefficient is greater than the expansion coefficient of the glaze layer, causing the glaze to break.
This is the reason why the porcelain glaze cracks. All cracked porcelain is caused by this reason.
When this phenomenon first appeared, the kiln workers would definitely think that the porcelain in this kiln had been burned down.
However, because of the porcelain produced in this way, the glaze is very tightly adhered, and the glaze layer does not peel off or be scratched. Apart from the strange and natural flakes, there is no feeling that hinders use.
When I finally took it out and looked at it, I found it to be very beautiful.
Therefore, this can be regarded as the successful firing of a batch of special porcelain.
Since then, because of this unique artistic charm, it has become a high-quality porcelain sought after by the world.
Because of this, the craftsmen of Longquan kiln in the Song Dynasty artificially controlled the composition of the glaze to create porcelain with this unique pattern, which added brilliance to the garden of porcelain art in the Song Dynasty.
Because it was quite unexpected when it first appeared, there were still a lot of technical difficulties when I first started firing.
If you want to make high-quality Ge kiln wares, you must control all aspects of the porcelain stone, clay body, glaze, and craftsmanship.
And now that Chen Wenzhe wants to publish a paper, he needs to study it in depth.
Fortunately, he still understands Longquan kiln. After all, the first batch of porcelain he imitated was Longquan celadon.
This gave him a relatively in-depth understanding of Longquan kiln, or Ge kiln.
This is very advantageous for Chen Wenzhe to resume firing Ge Kiln porcelain.
He knew very well that the Ge Kiln porcelain found during archaeological excavations in the Longquan area were all gray and white.
And the texture is relatively thick, with light gray celadon glaze, and the glaze is plump and moist.
The flakes are of varying sizes and depths.
When loading the box, the blank tool is a cake pad or a washer, and the texture of the burning tool is very delicate.
Among the porcelain handed down from generation to generation, there are also porcelains with iron bone body, dark gray body, and earthy yellow body, which are considered to be the work of Ge Kiln. The glaze colors include fried beige, light fried beige, etc.
This information was obtained through Chen Wenzhe's acquisition of the Yuan Dynasty blue and white glaze red jade pot spring vase.
Unfortunately, he received too much information at that time, and he did not study it carefully.
Besides, some of the historical images he saw at that time had no narration or explanation.
He could determine which dynasty it was by deducing the general age based on the characters and clothing that appeared in the inheritance, combined with the craftsmanship and shape of the porcelain.
Now we need to understand in depth whether Ge Kiln is a branch of Longquan Kiln or a famous kiln mouth in the Northern Song Dynasty. We really need to analyze it carefully.
