Chapter 1514: Showing the world within a small area
"Okay, I understand your intentions. Whatever you want to do, I will definitely allocate funds from my side. Otherwise, I will be sorry for the many treasures you have found."
After walking out of the exhibition hall with satisfaction, Chen Wenzhe directly gave Li Jinli and Chen Xingchen a reassurance.
No matter what development plans they have, no matter how grand the plans are, they always work for him, and he doesn't mind taking his career to the next level.
No matter what, he couldn't lose.
In this case, it's better to just make a promise and let my subordinates feel at ease.
Li Jinli was very happy to receive Chen Wenzhe's affirmation.
Not to mention Chen Xingchen, he directly pulled Chen Wenzhe into the work area.
He had no choice, because Yi Niantang Ceramics Factory was developing too fast.
Now they are in urgent need of funds to expand their factories.
If there is still enough funds, it is best to improve employee benefits, such as housing, transportation, etc.
"This is still the teapot production line. Look, how many groups we have now."
Seeing Chen Xingchen's proud look, Chen Wenzhe could only keep praising him.
Now the entire long-term factory building, which is more than 40 meters long, has been used to produce teapots.
It's a teapot, not a simple purple clay teapot.
There are purple clay teapot making groups here, and they are the largest in number.
Next is the porcelain pot, and then the clay pot.
Chen Wenzhe took a quick look and found it strange that there were so many people making a simple red clay pot.
"Our most important product is the beauty pot. For porcelain pots, they are multi-colored and pastel pots. There are relatively few doucai pots because it is more difficult after all."
As they walked, Chen Xingchen made introductions.
Chen Wenzhe looked at the groups of skilled potters. These people could only be craftsmen.
And only those who shape it in the end are considered artists, and they determine the final value of all works.
I have to say that the ceramics factory has grown, but just a teapot workshop is too big.
In addition to a few main products, all kinds of teapots are available in this factory with an area of more than 1,000 square meters.
The main function of a teapot is to make tea, which means it is a tea making utensil.
It consists of four parts, namely the lid, body, bottom and foot.
The lid includes holes, buttons, seats, lids and other details.
The pot body includes the mouth, extension (lip wall), mouth, diversion, belly, shoulder, handle (handle or plate) and other details.
According to the subtle differences in the handle, lid, bottom, shape and other parts of the pot, there are nearly 200 basic types of pots.
Now in the entire factory, every team is divided into individual components.
If someone is confident enough, they can form a team according to the four parts. If not, they can only add more people, which means there will be more than a dozen people.
Of course, there are only experienced people in this factory area, so most groups are composed of five people.
Four people make the main parts, and the last person assembles, shapes, and completes the most important work.
Walking slowly, Chen Wenzhe watched and admired.
Now they produce teapots, which is really professional.
What I just mentioned is a general classification, and they also have subdivisions.
For example, teapots are divided according to their handles, including side-handled teapots, Liang-lifted teapots, flying teapots, handle-handled teapots, and handleless teapots.
The handle of the side-handle pot is ear-shaped and is located opposite the spout.
The handle of the kettle is above the lid and is shaped like a rainbow.
The handle of the Feitian teapot is above one side of the teapot, in the shape of a dancing ribbon.
The handle of the handle pot is round and straight, and is at right angles to the body of the pot.
The handle of the pot without handle is omitted, and the head of the pot is held by the hand when pouring tea.
There are also three types of covers: pressed covers, embedded covers, and truncated covers.
Pressing the lid means that the lid is pressed flatly on top of the spout so that the spout is not exposed.
The embedded lid means that the lid is embedded into the pot, and the edge of the lid is flush with the mouth of the pot.
The cut-off cover means that the cover and the body of the pot are integrated, and only the tailoring is visible.
According to the bottom, there are three types: bottom, nail foot and added bottom.
Lifting the bottom is to make the bottom of the pot into a concave shape, without adding additional feet.
The nail feet are on the bottom of the pot, with three protruding feet.
Adding a base means adding a circle of feet around the bottom of the pot.
According to whether there is a filter bladder, there are two types: ordinary pots and filter pots.
Ordinary teapots are all kinds of teapots without filters.
A filter pot is a straight barrel-shaped filter bladder or filter placed at the mouth of the pot to separate the tea residue and tea soup.
Divided by shape, there are four types: ribbed shape, geometric shape, bionic shape, and calligraphy and painting shape.
Ribbon-shaped, there are concave lines on the outer wall of the pot, just like the arc-shaped vein-like ribs in plants, called ribs.
The walls between the tendons are bulging and have a rounded feel.
Geometric shapes are shapes based on geometric figures, such as squares, cylinders, rectangles, ovals, rhombuses, spheres, trapezoids, etc.
Bionic shape, also called natural shape, is a pot that imitates the shapes of various animals and plants.
There are pumpkin pots, pine pots, plum pile pots, petal-shaped pots, peach pots, etc.
The shape of calligraphy and painting is to carve words, poems or figure paintings, landscape paintings, flower and bird paintings, etc. on the finished pot.
It can be said that there are too many craftsmanships that can be reflected in a small teapot.
It can be said that the whole world can be seen in a small space!
So, no matter what skills you have, you can use them on a small teapot.
"Is this a yellow-glazed teapot?"
Chen Wenzhe makes new discoveries every time he takes a step forward.
The ones just mentioned were only divided by vessel type. If glaze color is added, there will be even more types of teapots.
For example, red glaze, yellow glaze, blue and white, multicolored, pastel, bucket color, green glaze and so on.
More high-end ones include ink color, gold color, filigree enamel, etc.
Anyway, almost all the decorative techniques you can think of can be used on a small teapot.
Familiar and unfamiliar, as long as you move forward, you will definitely be able to see it.
"This is an imitation of the yellow-glazed mat pattern pot from the Tang Dynasty, right? It's a good imitation."
Looking at a tall and strange teapot, Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom!
Chen Wenzhe likes antiques, and Chen Xingchen also likes them, so naturally the craftsmen under them also have ideas.
So the appearance of antique porcelain didn't seem strange to him at all.
I have to say that the ceramics factory has grown, otherwise teapots like this would never be imitated.
This is an imitation of a yellow-glazed teapot from the Tang Dynasty.
Height 27 cm, diameter 9 cm.
The utensils are neatly made and large and full, making them look graceful and majestic.
A teapot like this is a gift from the thousand-year history of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Just looking at the entire body of the pot, the mat pattern is clearly discernible and well-proportioned.
Covered with a layer of yellow glaze, it is even more beautiful and elegant. The spout is decorated with a simple and elegant spiral pattern. This must be a rare utensil among yellow glaze pots.
Chen Wenzhe was very surprised to see such an exquisite yellow-glazed teapot from the Tang Dynasty here.
If there is one, there are two. It seems that there must be a lot of high-quality antique porcelain here.
Unfortunately, when he looked back at his works again, he found that they were no longer imitations of the Tang Dynasty, but imitations of the Qing Dynasty.
However, the imitation Qing Dynasty palace utensils seem to be quite good.
When it comes to wealth and grace, the Qing Dynasty seems to be no less generous!
