The special porcelain is a pastel lotus suction cup from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, also known as the "Taihu Qiucao Cup".
This kind of suction cup was developed from Bitong Drink. It originated from the Cao Wei Dynasty. Various suction cups were unearthed from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and they were generally used by princes and nobles.
Good porcelain, because of its high production cost, was of course reserved for nobles.
But ordinary people still follow the method of drinking from Bitong. To put it nicely, it is actually sipping the drink from fresh lotus leaves.
Wouldn’t it sound more elegant and nice to express it as “Bitong Yin”?
It is said that the wine drunk like this has a unique flavor. It is exactly the same: the wine tastes mixed with the fragrance of lotus, which is endlessly wonderful!
No matter whether you are poor or rich, living is a toss-up!
His little niece can use this batch of Taihu Qiu Cao Cups!
It sounds a bit complicated when you say it, but it's actually very simple to do.
The "Autumn Exercise Cup" is a specially made commemorative cup to commemorate the autumn drills of the Qing army during the Guangxu period.
Several autumn military drills were held during the Guangxu period, and the Autumn Exercise Memorial Cup was a souvenir after the drills at that time.
There are two types of cups, one is pastel peony style, and the other is green glaze lotus leaf style.
Both of these two types have leaf stems as stems, and the stems are hollow and connected to the cup, which can also be called a suction cup.
On the back of the handle, the time and place of practice are written in ink.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe will not write anything else, what he wants is this creativity.
This kind of thing is not used often and does not last too long. Chen Wenzhe does not plan to do it more. After all, it is still a bit troublesome to do.
Whether it's a pastel peony cup or a green-glazed lotus leaf cup, they both look simple but are troublesome to make.
In fact, it can be regarded as a deformed plate or a teapot without a lid, and the spout is the handle of the lotus leaf.
In the lotus style, the stamens serve as the base of the vessel, the petals serve as the body, and the pedicels serve as the handle.
The petals on the cup body are gradient pink with a darker color at the bottom and a lighter color at the top. After it is made, the lines are clear and the glaze color is delicate and lovely.
The handle of the lotus stem is green, with dotted ink-colored thorns scattered on the surface of the stem. It is hollow in shape and runs straight from the stem end into the stamen, which can be used to absorb water.
This kind of thing, as long as Chen Wenzhe thinks about it, it only takes a little effort, and there is no other difficulty.
In fact, the reason why he thought of this kind of thing was because he wanted to use some of his green glaze and pastels.
Pastels have been used to make water-dotted peach blossoms before, but because green glaze is a single-color glaze, he uses it less often.
This time he can use it to make green glazed lotus suction cups. Of course, if he has time, he can also make some pastel lotus suction cups or even pastel peony suction cups.
Of course, although they are all called cups, some of them can be made into plates, bowls and other types of utensils, not all cups. After all, although cups are convenient to use, other utensil types are sometimes very useful.
After making seven or eight cups of various kinds and glazing them, Chen Wenzhe discovered that he seemed to have fallen into a strange circle.
Now the peach blossom porcelain is ready to be put into the kiln, but the various cups he just made still need to be dried.
"Then get some that don't require special drying, but it will just take some time."
It's not like I didn't stay up all night when I played games at school, so even if it's already twelve o'clock in the evening, so what?
It seems that since he got the Sui Marquis Pearl and he could learn various skills in his sleep, he rarely stayed up late and went to bed early every day?
There is both a need for study and a reason for being too mentally drained.
That is to say, he hasn't learned much recently, and even if he has learned it, he has learned it on the original basis, so naturally he won't expend too much energy.
Maybe it's because of this that he can continue to stay up late?
Otherwise, I would have been unable to hold on any longer and would have gone to bed.
While I was thinking wildly, I kneaded some leftover mud into a ball, took out the carving knife, and started carving on it at will.
Having just seen Lu Zigang's superb skills today, Chen Wenzhe has already felt itchy in his heart.
Now practice with these clay balls and see how much he can learn.
He really used a knife to carve jade, not a Buddhist instrument.
In this way, he did not need to use a special tool to imitate the marks carved by the knife.
There is not much clay left, and even less color, so the things Chen Wenzhe makes are very small.
The twelve zodiac signs have been done too much recently, so he can carve out some at will.
Big rooster, little hen, and very cute little chicks.
The only ones that have been completed are the little black dog and the little flower dog. There seems to be no technical content in these, because when he was playing with Mud when he was a child, he could accurately shape some vivid puppies.
Dragon and snake are not friendly enough for children, so I skipped them.
Pigs, cows, horses, sheep, monkeys, tigers, and mice are all made into cute shapes, and each one is small and exquisite. With the glaze on it, it shouldn't be ugly when fired.
Chen Wenzhe did whatever he thought of, and soon he made a lot of small animals.
Little ducks, little deers, little angels, and finally he even got some Teletubbies and Bumpman.
In recent years, the penetration of foreign culture has been very strong, but if your child likes it, it is better to get some. He still has some national confidence.
After applying a thick layer of glaze, he felt that the glaze layer would not flow. This time he could send all the works into the electric kiln.
This can be regarded as obsessive-compulsive disorder. If the work is not finished, I will definitely not be able to sleep!
Finally without work, Chen Wenzhe returned to his room and slept until dawn.
Maybe because he worked too hard yesterday, he slept in late today and didn't get up until almost noon.
His sister-in-law and niece went home, and the house seemed to have enough popularity. Anyway, after getting up, he felt that the house was very lively.
The most important thing is that in the kitchen at this time, you can find delicious food at any time, and they are all suitable for his taste.
For example, stewed elbows, stewed pig's trotters, stewed old hens, etc. Even though these items are very bland and without salt, Chen Wenzhe said they are delicious.
I eat out a lot recently. I'm tired of eating outside, so I just want to get used to having light meals at home.
Therefore, the braised trotters and braised pig trotters after a little processing are very good.
After dinner, I visited my little niece, went back to my room and studied for a while, and wrote down some of my own learning experiences. These things will be reserved for future disciples to use.
During this period of time, he has been in contact with Chen Qinghu and has been teaching him how to make teapots.
Although Chen Qinghu is a bit old, he has perseverance, interest, and hard work. His recent progress has been rapid, at least not worse than the graduating seniors of the Academy of Fine Arts.
It's just that he doesn't know much, he only knows how to mix clay and make pots.
In fact, this can be regarded as a skill, and as long as you learn how to make pots, you will definitely not have to worry about eating in the future.
