Before the enamel painting is fired and fired, the color materials must be prepared and filled.
There are no less than 30 color matching methods, as many as hundreds.
No matter how thick it is or how light it is, it is not enough. Therefore, it takes several months to complete an enamel-colored porcelain, and it costs a lot of money. It is by no means comparable to other imperial porcelains.
For example, the porcelain of the Thousand Flowers series painted with gold and gold, the flowers are all outlined with gold powder.
All of these require extremely high costs, and this high cost is only to present a graceful and luxurious shining state.
Especially when tracing gold, never paint on top of colorful materials, otherwise all the work will be wasted.
It is so complicated that it is destined to be a hundred flowers without showing the ground, and not many will be fired.
Some large vessels are even rarer, and if the painting is meticulous and intricate, and the craftsmanship is extraordinary, it is even more rare.
This kind of porcelain from the Qianlong period can exactly demonstrate the unparalleled splendor and nobility of Qianlong enamel porcelain.
Each piece of these porcelains goes through dozens of processes and dozens of key technical points from kneading clay to firing.
Each piece is crafted with craftsmanship, and even if it looks similar, it has its own unique life.
Seeing this, Chen Wenzhe finally walked out of this antique bronze mirror museum.
This time he really gained experience, just like a foreigner who came to China and said he wanted to eat all the Chinese delicacies, but after staying for half a year, he didn't even go out to a single city.
The same goes for Chen Wenzhe now. How long will he stay in Yangluo?
No, here we walked into a copper art workshop and saw another small museum.
It can be said that every store here has some antique bronzes on display. If the quantity was slightly larger and the quality was better, wouldn't it be a small bronze museum?
While walking and looking, Chen Wenzhe was surprised when he came to the innermost room.
"This thing can actually be copied? The technology is really good."
Chen Wenzhe was really surprised when he saw the somewhat familiar bronze ware.
If he remembered correctly, this bronze should be hidden in the Maritime Museum.
This is a national treasure bronze in the Maritime Museum. Because experts say it is difficult to copy, they jokingly call it a fake.
The weight of bronze ware is extremely high in our Chinese cultural relics world.
It can be said that buying any piece of bronze can make you rich.
From an archaeological point of view, the bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period are undoubtedly the most amazing.
The bronzes of this period can be regarded as a peak in history.
Nowadays, many famous museums in the country have collections of stunning national treasure bronzes.
For example, the Western Zhou Dynasty Li Gui, He Zun, Bronze Fang Zun, Yue King Goujian Sword, etc.
Moreover, it is really incredible that even experts have not been able to figure out the origin of these bronzes.
The protagonist Chen Wenzhe mentioned just now comes from the Ocean Museum, and it is naturally a bronze.
It can be called the treasure of the museum, a proper national treasure-level cultural relic.
Of course, experts also recognize it very much and admit that it is difficult to copy.
But what is puzzling is that experts often jokingly call it a fake. Why is this?
It is the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Ryusei". It is estimated that many people who are interested in cultural relics are familiar with the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Ryusei".
After all, this treasure is still very special. As long as you are an insider, you should have heard of it even if you have never seen it.
This treasure is about 30.1 cm high, 39.2 cm long, 14.8 cm in diameter, and weighs 3.65 kg.
From the outside, it actually looks like the ancient teapot in our hometown.
Of course, this teapot is not ordinary, and the rich shapes and shapes on it are truly miraculous.
Looking further, the spout of the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Liuyu" looks like a dragon's mouth, and its bottom has three legs, which may represent the "three-legged tripod".
Furthermore, there is a small flaw, that is, there should be a short chain connecting the lid and the utensil.
But it may have been lost due to the age. If the short chain is still there, it will definitely look better.
The entire "Spring and Autumn Dragon Flowing Table with Animal Face Patterns" also depicts three dragons, namely the dragon flow, the dragon cover and the dragon-shaped handle.
There are also exquisite animal face patterns on the utensils, which may be the ultimate origin of its name "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Ryusei".
So this "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Flood Table" seems to be a teapot, but is it really the function of a teapot?
After some appraisal, experts concluded that this was not the case.
It should be a device for warming wine, or used to mix the concentration of wine for nobles.
There is also a very confusing question here. Many people will question why the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Ryusei" is a national treasure?
Because our archaeological discoveries actually have some similarities, why can this "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Liuxu" be named a national treasure?
Could it be that it also has some other hidden abilities that make it superior to others?
In fact, there are two reasons why the "Spring and Autumn Dragon Mask with Animal Face Pattern" can become a national treasure.
One is its ingenious craftsmanship. The "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Ryusei" is cast using the lost wax method, which is also one of the characteristics of the national treasure bronze.
The simple understanding is that the various parts of the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Liuxu" are first cast and formed, and then the welding begins.
It seems to be a very simple process, but do you know? The familiar "Zunpan" of Zeng Houyi, the drum base, the four dragons and four phoenixes copper plan, etc., cannot be copied so far.
Even superb 3D printing technology is helpless because the structure is too complex.
Although the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Liuxu" is not as complex as the previous bronzes from a structural point of view.
But the number of patterns on its body is dazzling.
At first, experts also thought about imitating it, but they still couldn't succeed.
The second reason is that the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Liuxu" was unearthed in the south.
Maybe many people are confused. Let’s put it this way: At that time, the southern region was sparsely populated and technologically backward, and was even called “South Vietnam”.
At first, experts believed that the "Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Liuxu" came from the Central Plains area.
However, later archeology found that it had a strong "South Vietnamese" style, and final research confirmed that it was a bronze from the southern region.
The experts’ final identification of the “Spring and Autumn Animal Face Pattern Dragon Liuzi” was that it was imitated based on Central Plains utensils.
For this reason, this is why many experts joke that it is a fake.
It is indeed an imitation, but an antique imitation, and a very old imitation.
However, it is a bit hard to accept that the ancients could imitate it, and it was imitated by the barren, or even barbaric southern natives.
The most important thing is that we modern people claim to be high-tech and omnipotent, but until now we have not been able to imitate that kind of ingenuity.
