The "Longquan kiln celadon halberd goblet" from the late Ming Dynasty can be said to be the leader among the unearthed wine cup artifacts. It has a white body, an open shape, and a large capacity.
Qing Dynasty porcelain wine utensils, including French langcai, plain three-color, blue and white exquisite porcelain, and various antique porcelain with Qing Dynasty characteristics.
The "Bronze Animal Face Pattern Flower Goblet" collected in the Guanfu Museum is a unique wine glass from the Qing Dynasty.
It has an open shape, and the overall body shape is very slender. It looks tall and thin, with a big head and a thin body. It can be said to be very beautiful!
In the history of our country, there are some wine vessels with unique materials or unique shapes. Although they are not very popular, they have high appreciation value, such as wine vessels made of gold, silver, ivory, jade, cloisonne and other materials.
It can be said that Chen Wenzhe has been studying wine vessels for a long time and has various skills in making wine vessels.
Since it is production, it will definitely not be a few pieces. Since it is mass production, it will definitely be a series.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe plans to start imitating the earliest wine vessels, such as Zun!
It can be said that Chen Wenzhe is very familiar with Zun, because he once used Zun to initiate an independent inheritance, that is, Siyang Fang Zun.
This is one of the elephant statues. Others include the elephant statue, the rhinoceros statue, the ox statue, the tiger statue, etc.
Of course, He Zun, one of the national treasures, is also a drinking vessel. Strictly speaking, it is a wine container.
The wine pot we traditionally talk about is a wine container, while wine cups, wine bowls, etc. are drinking vessels.
It turns out that the beauty cup made by Chen Wenzhe is a wine vessel, and he has never made a drinking vessel.
Now that we are starting to make it, it is definitely not a drinking vessel. It is just like a tea set, a teapot and a tea bowl. The teapot is definitely more important.
He was just thinking about starting work when he didn't expect to hear Chen Xingchen shouting from the other side.
With his demonstration just now, Chen Xingchen felt very satisfied with the latest teapot.
Chen Wenzhe took a look and saw a beauty pot, also called a Xi Shi pot!
Well, to be more precise, this should be called an upside down Xi Shi Pot.
This can be said to be a classic among purple clay teapots. After all, the thousand-year-old Xi Shi is the beauty in the teapot.
The Xi Shi teapot is like the graceful beauty Xi Shi. It is one of the most classic, traditional and favorite teapot types among the many styles of purple clay teapots.
The lid and body of the Xi Shi pot are combined into a sphere. The lid is set off by a spherical knob, plus a special inverted handle and a short spout. The whole thing looks simple, but is actually rigorous, as if it were made in nature.
It is said to be a must-have teapot for purple clay lovers.
The Xi Shi teapot was first created by Master Xu Youquan, a disciple of Shi Dabin, and was inspired by Xi Shi.
Wu Meiding, who once wrote "Yangxian Minghu Fu", gave Master Xu Youquan a very high evaluation, saying, "If a man combines the past and the present, he can change according to his heart, and his skills are close to the Tao, he is like Youquan Xu Zi."
The original name of the Xishi teapot is also called "Wendan teapot". According to Wu Meiding's "Ode to Yangxian Minghu", it is said that "the rhyme rivals beauty (Beauty Shoulder), and the height of Xizi (Xishi lamp)". The shape of the teapot is like the beauty of Xishi.
The lamp is round, plump, graceful and moving.
Later generations thought the "Xi Shi lamp" was inelegant, so they renamed it "Xi Shi pot with an inverted handle".
Having said that, the image of a Xi Tzu teapot should pop into your mind, right?
Therefore, literati and sluts are really slutty sometimes!
This also created the Xi Shi Pot - everyone’s classic name!
The historical records of Xu Youquan's creation of the Xishi teapot are limited to text, and there are no pictures available for research.
The contemporary Xi Shi teapot is mainly based on the Xishi teapots made by two masters, Wang Yinchun and Gu Jingzhou.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe is very familiar with this kind of pot, because he inherited the pot-making craftsmanship from Master Wang Yinchun, including the Xishi pot style.
However, he was still young, and even though he sometimes wanted to make one, he never did.
This time, he didn't expect that Chen Xingchen was really a man. He directly made a plump and inverted Xi Tzu teapot.
The styles of Xi Shi pots are generally similar, either delicate or plump.
The five major styling elements of the Xi Shi teapot are the inverted handle (called Fou in ancient times), short vertebral flow, lamp-shaped lid plus body tube, truncated lid, and lamp-shaped button. Wang style and Gu style are the same.
The Xishi teapots made by artists after Wang and Gu basically followed this model.
There is a saying in the world of purple clay that the Xishi teapot is extremely beautiful in shape and has heart-thrilling charm. The first is Gu Jingzhou’s Xishi teapot, which is graceful and luxurious; the second is Wang Yinchun’s Xishi teapot, which is petite and exquisite.
Therefore, as Xi Shi teapots make their debut at auctions one after another, the auction prices continue to remain high.
Looking at the plump Xi Shi teapot, Chen Wenzhe didn't say anything. He was tasting the teapot.
If it can be made beautifully, it is a level 4 craftsmanship. If it has a unique charm, it must be a craftsmanship level of level 5 or above.
Although this teapot still has some problems, you can see its full beauty just by looking at it, and that's enough.
Therefore, this is a Xishi pot with at least level five craftsmanship, which can be called stunningly beautiful!
This is what I thought in my heart, and Chen Wenzhe did the same thing.
So he picked up the carving knife and carved the words "stunning beauty" on the teapot as a compliment to Chen Wenzhe and others.
"This teapot can be sold for 8,000 yuan. You can split it and take half of the profit!"
"Can this be divided? Even if we share it collectively, it would be great!" Chen Xingchen was already smiling.
In fact, he doesn't care at all whether it is split or not, what he cares about is this kind of achievement.
He also didn't expect that they could make such a beautiful fifth-level handicraft with the combined talents of everyone.
"There are still a lot of flaws. The fit between the lid and the body is not the best. Although the shape of the pot is good, the decoration is not gorgeous enough. You have also seen the final craftsmanship of the horizontal pot I made earlier. Why?
No modification?
Even if it doesn't reach my level, if you do it again, this piece can reach at least level 6 craftsmanship. Now it can only barely reach level 5. As for the price at which it can be sold for level 6 crafts, that's because of this
The pot type should be liked by many people.”
When Chen Wenzhe said this, all the students with art backgrounds looked fascinated.
How does it feel to bake such a teapot and play with it in your hands?
At this point, Chen Wenzhe doesn't want to continue to criticize, he should encourage.
After all, the level of his classmates is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, which is already very rare.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe just thought for a moment and asked everyone to stop, but he became busy.
You can make wine vessels at any time, but making money only takes time.
He didn't see the opportunity to make money just now, but now there is an opportunity for others to help him make a lot of money, how could he not seize it?
