Chapter 342 There is also a surprise (seeking a monthly ticket
Chen Wenzhe acted relatively calmly when he encountered such an important item as the Xuande cloisonné enamel cloud-dragon-patterned jar with large lid.
After all, he had just seen too many treasures, so when he saw this important weapon at this time, he could calm down and not act strangely.
Decisively activating the Pearl of Sui Hou, scenes after scenes appeared in Chen Wenzhe's mind.
The climax is always a little late. He will have a good time first and see how this thing is made. If it is as he imagined, he will start his own inheritance and acquire a lot of master-level skills at once.
Sure enough, he was not disappointed this time.
After seeing the history of this artifact, Chen Wenzhe was only filled with wonder.
His identification skills can be mastered, because his identification is very correct.
Not to mention anything else, the blue on this thing was made from lapis lazuli, which was more expensive than gold at the time, ground into powder and then mixed into the glaze to create this blue glaze.
His judgment just now was correct, because he was the lapis lazuli used in the judgment.
The other materials in this enamel material are also very simple.
There are many precious gems and semi-precious stones in it, such as agate and ruby.
This situation seems to be most prevalent in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty also produced a treasure.
It is because the glaze is mixed with various gemstones and minerals that the glaze color on this large jar has not faded after five or six hundred years. It can be said that it is as bright and beautiful as ever.
"Baoshao!" Chen Wenzhe sighed a little, what happened to him? Why is he so lucky?
Could it be that God was compensating him because he was selfless and helped the country find priceless treasures without lining his own pockets?
Has his luck increased by ten at this time?
What is Baozuo porcelain? "Baozuo porcelain" is also called Baoshao porcelain. It is a porcelain made by adding precious materials such as jewelry and jade through its special natural ingredients, so it is called "Baozuo porcelain".
Ru porcelain and Jun porcelain belong to the category of treasure porcelain that is glazed with treasures, but the specific recipe of the ancients is no longer known.
These recipes are also one of the secret recipes hidden in ancient official kilns, and can be called a model of ancient Chinese porcelain making technology.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe's mentality was a little unbalanced at this time. He casually strolled around the street stalls and took a look at the bustle, and he came across a large pot made using Baoshao technology?
This large jar with a lid, not to mention other things, but the height of more than 60 centimeters, is an important item!
What's more, it is still made of copper-embedded filigree enamel, and the glaze also uses the treasure firing technique. Has he been blessed by the goddess of luck?
This kind of technology is not accessible to everyone. Even in ancient times, there were not many craftsmen of Huibao ware.
Precious porcelain has a long history. In ancient my country, there was a saying that "there is no book or set rules for how to match porcelain glazes. All metals and eight stones can be used."
Moreover, craftsmen in the official kiln workshops discovered very early that fine porcelain could be made by mixing jade, pearls, and agate into the body and glaze.
In the history of ceramics, exquisite porcelain is mostly related to the incorporation of treasures into porcelain.
Among them, the earliest one to use treasures to make porcelain was the "Chai Kiln", which is known as the crown of all kilns. It was the kiln where Chai Shizong was in power during the Five Dynasties period.
The famous ceramic monograph "Nanyao Notes" of the Qing Dynasty records: "The firewood kiln, the treasure house of Zhou Wude Nian, fired glass, agate, and various gold and stones in one place to make glaze. The color of the glaze is as green as the sky, as bright as a mirror, and as thin as a mirror.
Paper, the sound is like exhaustion."
Its quality is of such high quality that no other ancient porcelain in the past dynasties can compare with.
So much so that later generations regard its fragments as treasures and regard them as jade.
Also, "Qingbo Magazine" written by Zhou Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty said: "It is forbidden to burn in the Ru Kiln Palace. There are agates inside for oil (glaze). They are only for the emperor to select and return before selling them. It is especially rare in recent times."
The special luster of your porcelain comes from this.
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the method of "bao burning" has been handed down.
"The red fish target made in the Xuande kiln of the Ming Dynasty is made of Western ruby powder and ground into the glaze. It has a bright color and a precious light."
Therefore, it is really possible to imitate various high-precision porcelains from Chai kiln, Ru kiln, and Ming and Qing dynasties if you learn the Bao-firing technique.
Moreover, Baozuo porcelain also belongs to the kiln transformation process, which involves the production of another top-grade porcelain.
Kiln transformation has always been synonymous with rarity, so as long as it is a porcelain with Bao firing technology, it is very precious and rare!
Because expensive treasures are used as raw materials, the yield rate of the kiln transformation process is low, and the process is complicated. Moreover, it is a secret formula of ancient official kilns, so it is rare to see it.
Every time such a fine product appears, it is the best among porcelains. This kind of craftsmanship is also called national porcelain craftsmanship.
After sorting through the information obtained, Chen Wenzhe was filled with surprises.
Chen Wenzhe saw many surprises through the traceback of this copper-embossed filigree enamel cloud-dragon-patterned jar with a large lid.
Looking back on history is different from accepting inheritance. This ability is to see through an object all the things that happened around it.
As for inheritance, it only targets some skills and is relatively one-sided.
Therefore, by looking back at history, the information obtained is more comprehensive.
From the preparation of materials for this utensil to the successful firing.
After that, whatever happens wherever it is located can be read by the Pearl of Sui Hou.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe also understood how the large amount of knowledge inheritance stored in the Sui Marquis Pearl came from.
It turns out that he can only accept one-sided inheritance. It is not difficult for him to see all the experiences of many treasures.
But now with the backtracking skill, he can see anything he wants to see.
For example, after Xuande, cloisonne developed in the court.
Perhaps it is because this large jar with a lid has always been kept in the imperial palace, so what happened around it involved the manufacture of a large number of utensils.
The imperial prison was one of the official offices of the inner court of the Ming Dynasty. It was "in charge of the manufacture of screens, beds and other wooden utensils used in the palace, as well as red sandalwood, ivory, ebony, mother-of-pearl and other playwares." It was not abolished until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
The cloisonne used by the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty was also made by the imperial eunuch, which gave Chen Wenzhe the opportunity to learn the skills of the imperial eunuch of the Ming Dynasty.
When the jars with large lids were in the imperial prison, the most produced ones were cloisonne. It was also through this retrospective that Chen Wenzhe obtained the complete production process of cloisonne.
This entire process includes many techniques and recipes.
The production technology of cloisonne has been fully matured during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It has bright colors, rich decorations, neat filigree, fine polishing, and even gold plating.
The varieties include bottles, plates, bowls, stoves, round boxes, incense sticks, etc.
Gold or copper is used as the carcass, and the colors include sky blue, sapphire blue, grass green, vegetable green, chicken blood, white, yellow, etc.
The main color is blue, combined with red, white, green, yellow and other colors, forming a colorful artistic style.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhi learned too many things this time, such as the blending of various glaze colors. Just one cloisonné involves more than a dozen glaze color formulas.
In addition to these, there is another unexpected surprise.
