Among the porcelains, the one that is more expensive than the Four Seasons tea bowl is probably the peach blossom set with water dots.
In 2001, China Guardian auctioned a six-piece set of "Shuidian Peach Blossom" woolen porcelain stationery, which was sold for a high price of 11.48 million.
On average, one piece costs almost two million, which is absolutely a sky-high price. From this, we can see how valuable the craftsmanship of water-dotted peach blossoms is.
And this is not over yet, that was in 2001, and in 2003, the prices were different again.
In 2003, four pieces of "Shuidian Peach Blossom" wineware porcelain cups were sold by a Singaporean collector for 80 million yuan.
The average price per piece is 20 million. This transaction set a record for the highest auction of woolen porcelain.
That is to say, there are so many exciting transaction prices, so whether it is the first collector or other private masters, there are many imitations of woolen porcelain!
Of course, not all types of porcelain are so valuable.
However, even varieties with simple craftsmanship are still very valuable, right?
As early as March 14th, Mao porcelain made its debut at Shendu Pacific Auction Co., Ltd. 68 pieces of Chairman porcelain were sold out instantly, with a total transaction volume of 8.7 million yuan, an average of 122,000 yuan per piece.
It's just a quantity. Needless to say, they are all ordinary porcelain for daily use, but even so, the average price of one piece is more than 120,000.
And can the price of some Wanqing and Republic of China porcelain reach this level? Many cannot.
Therefore, it was from that period that the preciousness of "Mao Porcelain" began to be known to the world.
It is said that in 1996, the Brunei royal family wanted to purchase 300 pieces of Mao porcelain from a Chinese collector for US$5.5 million, an average of 150,000 yuan per piece, but was ultimately rejected by the collector.
It can also be seen from this that Mao porcelain is truly a batch of fine porcelain with the highest price among modern porcelain. Chen Wenzhe is naturally very interested in such a kind of porcelain.
Therefore, through that rose tea bowl, he learned the technique of double-sided painting on the inside and outside.
And through that little spoon, he also learned the technique of dotting peach blossoms with water.
In fact, it is not difficult for Chen Wenzhe to learn the technique of peach blossom with water dots.
"Water Dot Peach Blossom" was originally one of the painting techniques. Its painting technique was created by Liu Yucen, one of the "Eight Friends of Zhushan" during the Republic of China.
He drew on the freehand boneless form of Chinese painting. He first dotted the petals with white water on the glass to draw the flower shape, then mixed the color with water and performed a second dyeing on the white glass.
The water content in the color materials "doesn't flow when wet, and doesn't wither when dry". The writing is accurate and light. The peach blossoms are dense and dense, with appropriate shades. The colors are bright and full, and the petals are delicate and delicate.
A peach blossom, beautiful, delicate, handsome and elegant.
This kind of porcelain, coupled with the fact that it is all handmade, makes the overall shape and spirit unified.
This forms a unique feature, which is unified, full, and processed with exquisite precision, giving people spiritual edification and beauty.
Water dot peach blossom is a painting technique, but there is another difficulty in making wool porcelain, that is its shape and thickness, which are difficult to imitate.
However, this is really not that difficult for Chen Wenzhe.
Whether it is blending clay, drawing embryos or sharpening embryos, Chen Wenzhe has master-level skills. Making some thin tires is not difficult at all.
So, he finally made a complete set of water-dotted peach blossom tableware.
Bowls, plates, dishes, spoons, spoons, fish plates, soup plates, soup bowls, etc., Chen Wenzhe made some of them as long as they were usable.
The exterior decoration of this set of porcelain strives to be simple, elegant, dignified and steady in style.
The overall lines are smooth and elegant, the shape of the vessel is full, simple and elegant.
It can be said that the production of such a set of tableware has achieved the perfect unity of art and practicality, and it can be regarded as Chen Wenzhe's classic work.
This set of tableware is actually comparable to the 7501 Water Dot Peach Blossom.
Because Chen Wenzhe is very careful in selecting materials, modeling, and craftsmanship, this can be regarded as the pinnacle of his painstaking efforts.
This level of production can only reach the level of mao porcelain.
We must know that the achievements in craftsmanship of Mao porcelain are even better than those of the official kilns of the Song and Ming Dynasties. It represents the highest level of modern Chinese ceramic art.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe's current level should have reached the highest level of domestic modern ceramic art.
"I kept doing it, and I only did this much, but it was pretty good."
At the very least, the quality of this batch of high-imitation wool porcelain he made must be much higher than those in the first collection.
He just didn't want to make them old. As long as these porcelains were made a little older, even if they were just stripped and a little patinated, they could be sold as rough porcelain.
After all, the quality of the fetus is different, but surely no one would smash this level of porcelain to take a look, right?
If he really lets this batch of porcelain flow into the market, it may not be able to cause much of a storm!
Therefore, he has reserved money for some high-quality products that he intends to enter the market.
The inscription is still made in Yi Niantang, but it has the words "treasure" added to it.
This is considered a collection of Yi Niantang, and it is considered a relatively satisfactory work by Chen Wenzhe.
Looking at the time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. He just made a batch of water-point peach blossom sets, which took more than six hours.
The previous batch of porcelain is ready for firing in the kiln.
Because it is not any special porcelain, as long as it is installed in the electric kiln and the temperature is set for each time period, Chen Wenzhe does not need to take care of it.
There are many electric kilns in the studio. Even if he makes more porcelain, he can put it all into the kiln at once. This is the advantage of having his own private studio.
After finishing his work, Chen Wenzhe looked at the water-dot peach blossom work that was drying. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, but he didn't know what the effect would be after it was fired.
Since part of the porcelain is made from the mud that was mixed in the morning, the glaze only needs to be dried for a while before it can be put into the kiln.
This batch of peach blossoms can be put into the kiln tonight.
Therefore, even if it was ten o'clock, Chen Wenzhe had no intention of sleeping.
He planned to do something more. When the batch of water-dotted peach blossoms was almost dry, he could send all the porcelain to the electric kiln. It would not be too late for him to take a rest at that time.
After clearing the table, there was not much porcelain clay left. After thinking about it, Chen Wenzhe thought about his niece's future eating problems.
Whether she eats or drinks water, she can only use suction.
And the batch of porcelain he is making now is not very friendly to children.
No, it should be that children are not too friendly to this batch of porcelain.
No matter what, his little niece must not be able to use it, otherwise, the batch of porcelain he carefully made may become uneven.
There is actually a precedent for special porcelain for nieces. Chen Wenzhe knows of a kind of porcelain with a straw.
Because this kind of porcelain is quite special, Chen Wenzhe saw it once and wrote it down.
