Chapter 1,600: With Lang Hong at home, he has no worries about food and clothing
Lang Kiln Red is considered by the ceramic industry to be the "touchstone" of firing techniques.
Whether the technique is good or not can be seen clearly after firing a furnace of Lang Kiln Red.
In this way, it will be clear at a glance whether it will burn and whether it is burning well.
To bake Langyao Hong, everything from clay to ingredients needs to be strictly controlled.
This unique formula and unique artwork created must have strict craftsmanship.
If you don’t understand, just finding the right mud and glaze secret recipe from hundreds of glazes is even more difficult than reaching the sky!
For example, according to ancient methods, the glaze must be aged for several months, or even a year, so that the fired glaze will be warmer and moister.
Nowadays, almost no kiln entrance can do this, because time is too precious and cannot afford to wait for the glaze to become stale.
But Chen Wenzhe knows porcelain and is prepared in advance.
Otherwise, he really has no interest in opening a clay factory.
Because not only the glaze needs to be aged, but sometimes the porcelain clay also needs to be aged.
In this way, adhering to the ancient method, the glaze has been aged for nearly a year, and the production is slow but precise.
In fact, the most difficult thing about firing Lang Kiln Red is the color.
Langyao red on the market is generally fired at 1300°C, but Chen Wenzhe knows very well that in order to make good Langyao red, the best temperature is 1350°C.
Only in this way can the oiliness and gloss of the finished product be maximized.
You must know that for high-temperature ceramics, every 5°C rise above 1300°C will lead to a breakthrough in process difficulty.
"Maybe we can make a breakthrough here. There seems to be no thin-bodied porcelain in the history of Lang Kiln Red?"
Langyaohong's thin tire firing process is still worth trying.
In order to ensure the yield of finished products, Langyao red was fired with thick tires in all dynasties.
If this technical difficulty can be overcome, then thin-body Lang kiln red can be fired, and at least porcelain cups can be fired successfully.
Chen Wenzhe has done it before, but that time he did not pursue thin tires, which were considered medium-thin at best.
If you put a porcelain cup like that under strong light, it will only be vaguely light-transmissible.
However, it can show gem-like transparency, which is obviously more in line with modern people's aesthetics.
Tribute-grade Langyao red is gorgeous and beautiful, without losing tradition, and with innovative breakthroughs. This kind of porcelain is definitely easy to sell.
"The snow top is better, the flowing glaze is better with ox hair silk, but the chicken wing pattern is better, and the three are indispensable."
According to historical records, Langyaohong’s tribute selection criteria were extremely strict.
What Xueding blurts out is that the red glaze will naturally flow downward, revealing a white carcass at the edge, which is called "Snowding". This is its most typical feature.
The ox-hair pattern is made of flowing glaze strands hanging down. Where the glaze color first appears on the snow top, a faint red color forms an edge like the ox-hair pattern.
As the name suggests, the glaze color becomes heavier as it goes down the body of the vessel, forming a circle of dark brown accumulated glaze on the sole of the foot, which is called "hanging glaze".
There are also feather-like black textures on the hanging glaze, which are called "chicken wing feet".
Naturally, the bottom of the bottle is not enough. Most of the Langyao red cups on the market now have poor glaze hanging, so the part where the glaze flows from the bottom is cut off, which is called "cutting the foot."
But a truly high-quality Langyao red single cup can flow naturally without being too full. This is the true traditional "Hanzuzulangbuliu".
As a porcelain vase, it is allowed to cut into enough pieces, but naturally, the ones that are not enough are the best ones;
….
Then open the piece, use the Langyao red glaze layer, and open the large pattern piece.
Flaking is the characteristic of Lang Kiln Red. Within two years of opening the kiln, 98% of the flasks will be flecked, and the remaining 2% will gradually flask over time.
There are also occasional tiny bubbles in the glaze, which is naturally lively.
Gazing into the interior of the porcelain cup, it is like fireworks exploding, revealing the flowing beauty of rubies.
Injecting tea soup, like red clouds reflecting water, becomes more gorgeous and beautiful.
Such a finished product has bright red glaze all over, flowing ox hair silk, and rich layers, which are visible to the naked eye.
Place
Therefore, even modern works of art can become auction favorites.
Especially the bright red of the main palace. In fact, in ancient my country, red was mostly tribute to the palace and royal family, and was kept by the imperial family, but was rarely seen in private kilns.
The Langhong wares left in the world today are very rare and extremely precious, and each piece is regarded as a treasure.
It is worth noting that Langhong porcelain cannot be fired overseas at present and is a patent of our country.
Because of the bright red color of the main palace, its imposing momentum is difficult to control, and it is solemn and prosperous, which inevitably makes the viewer feel in awe.
As a result, Lang Hong frequently fetched tens of millions in major auction houses at home and abroad, repeatedly setting high prices. There is also a saying that "if Lang Hong is in the family, he will not have to worry about food and clothing."
In this way, the porcelain varieties that only we have that no one else has, naturally have to be carried forward.
Naturally, Chen Wenzhe is not the only one who can carry it forward.
After all, he now has a large number of talents. As long as he overcomes the difficulties and achieves results.
Naturally, countless people wanted to help him with the subsequent transformation results.
Chen Wenzhe previously made a series of red-glazed porcelain, including Chinese red.
So, this time he just made a few high-quality Langyao reds and ended it.
However, this time there are bottles, bowls, and cups, so it is quite complete.
Especially the small ones, which look like they are holding a bowl of red clouds. This is an authentic red cloud lamp!
"Boss, come here and take a look at this Xuande blue and white piece!"
As soon as he left the red-glazed porcelain manufacturing studio, Chen Wenzhe was dragged into the blue and white studio.
When Chen Wenzhe took a look, he saw that it was a blue and white wafer with intertwining branches and floral patterns, and it was from the Xuande period.
The porcelain has a straight mouth, a tied neck, plump shoulders, a round belly, and rounded feet, with the words "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" written on the outside.
The shoulders and feet are decorated with a circle of upward-facing lotus petals. The lotus petal pattern is a blue and white ground painted with white outlines and dots.
The theme decoration on the abdomen is a flower pattern with entwining branches. The glaze layer is thick and the blue and white hair is rich in color, which fully demonstrates the characteristics of Xuande utensils.
The imitation is still very good, and it is also one of the top domestic treasures.
After all, the historical status of Xuande blue and white lies there. As long as it is high-quality and has no flaws, it is naturally a good thing.
To be able to imitate porcelain of this level, it seems that he definitely has capable people among his staff.
"Boss, the materials here are suitable, how about you make one too?"
Chen Wenzhe looked at the embryos beside him. They were all ready and were being cooled.
He selected a jue cup, trimmed it, and painted it directly.
Chen Wenzhe has made the top ten treasures several times, but he has not done them all.
Since there was a Xuande blue and white flower this time, he didn't mind making another one too.
Therefore, what he made this time was a cup with a blue and white crane pattern.
This is a blue and white porcelain from the Qianlong period. It is a fine product of the "Three Qing Dynasties", so it is definitely not bad.
It's just that Chen Wenzhe has made too many things of this level. This time he just made one when he saw a suitable shape.
After finishing this piece, Chen Wenzhe walked around the studio.
Of those ten treasures, there seemed to be few that he had not made.
Now the materials here seem to be complete, including materials for making enamelware. Has he done everything this time?
