"The wind and dew of nine autumns bloom over the kilns and capture the green color of thousands of peaks."
Longquan celadon is no worse than Yue kiln celadon.
Plum green not only conforms to the ancient people's aesthetics of "valuing green", but also highlights the brightness and purity of nature.
Due to the high firing temperature, the glaze layer is clear and transparent, and the glaze color is green, like jade.
And the current plum green can be fired to produce a green color? Even if the glaze layer is clear and transparent, is it difficult to fire it?
Of course, inheritance is no problem.
However, the glaze prepared by Chen Wenzhe using modern mineral materials based on ancient inheritance is definitely different from the modern Longquan celadon.
However, Chen Wenzhe didn't know what effect the batch of porcelain he made could really achieve.
Therefore, he didn't say much and would wait until the work was finished.
Chen Wenzhe didn't explain much, and Chen Xingchen couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he could only start firing the kiln.
Today's product is neither too much nor too little, just enough for one kiln.
Chen Xingchen was busy here for six hours and produced less than sixty beauty pots in total. The specific number should be fifty-six.
They also used the remaining clay materials to make hundreds of tea bowls, which were sold together with the teapots and were not counted in the production value.
Calculated this way, it is still far from the one hundred teapots planned by Chen Xingchen.
However, because the craftsmanship of this batch of teapots was surprisingly good, their work today was not only successfully completed, but also greatly exceeded Chen Wenzhe's expectations.
Fifty-six teapots, even at the factory price of two thousand each, are worth more than one hundred thousand.
If it leaves the factory at 6,000 a piece, the output value will be over 300,000, which is already a lot.
Three hundred thousand a day, nine million a month, and a yearly output value of over 100 million.
In this relatively clean development zone, this can be considered a big company, right?
After all the works were put into the kiln, both Chen Xingchen and Chen Wenzhe relaxed.
As for Li Jinli, he stayed here for a day, just to understand the production situation, and at most he had expectations.
Therefore, he planned to take the products back to the antique city as soon as the porcelain came out of the kiln tomorrow morning.
Li Jinli is very satisfied with the establishment of this workshop because he will no longer have to worry about not selling enough products.
However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes. After he answered the phone once, he came to Chen Wenzhe with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" He looked like that, and Chen Wenzhe was shocked.
Such an expression means there is either something wrong with the antique mall or the drugstore, or it is a private matter.
Or is Li Jinli being cheated on? It's probably unlikely. This guy's wife is still very good to him.
"It's okay, it's just that the pair of peony vases you originally put in the store were bought by someone. Alas, now there is no more treasure in the store."
Chen Wenzhe was stunned: "Blue and white underglaze red peony vase?"
"Yes, the pair of big red peonies you made with copper-red glaze are really like a pair of blue and white peonies with red underglaze!"
Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but smile: "Even if you sell, you won't use this expression, right? I thought you had grass growing on your head!"
"Growing grass? What kind of grass grows? I haven't...you just have green grass growing on your head!" Li Jinli finally reacted.
"Haha, what a big deal? I will be stationed in the factory from now on. What kind of porcelain can't we make?"
After saying that, Chen Wenzhe looked at the busy workers not far away. They all loved learning so much, and he couldn't leave behind.
Since he has time and conditions, he will bake another pair. Anyway, he is also preparing to try firing precious porcelain.
Among the treasure-firing techniques, he is most familiar with the copper-red glaze. Using the copper-red glaze itself, one can produce a ruby-red effect. Chen Wenzhe has known this for a long time.
Ruby red is one of the varieties of copper red glaze. It is named because the glaze color shines like ruby.
And because this glaze color is often used as sacrificial vessels, it is also called "sacrificial red".
Created and fired in the Xuande Jingzhen kiln in the Ming Dynasty, the varieties include plates, bowls, washbasins, tall bowls, etc.
Although this type of porcelain was successfully fired during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the ruby red color at that time should have been successfully fired using Bao firing technology.
But modern technology is obviously not the case. It requires a different process formula to be successfully fired.
Regardless of the technique, ruby red is beautiful.
You must know that the current ruby red is a national porcelain. Its emergence is the highlight of the development of contemporary Chinese ceramics. Like the ancient Yuan blue and white, it represents the return of ceramic art to the natural material beauty and has become a characteristic of an era.
Because he had already prepared, Chen Wenzhe prepared the ruby red glaze very quickly because he had already prepared the materials, but he was not prepared to fire them today.
Since the store needed it, he fired a batch of ruby red works, which became the main signboard of the store.
After mixing the glaze, Chen Wenzhe started kneading the clay.
Since making classic Chinese porcelain, it is natural to be meticulous. From the very beginning of selecting and practicing the clay, it must be flawless.
He has a master-level kiln-firing technique and a master-level production process, so it is very rare for defective products to appear when firing kilns.
However, this is just because of his superb skills and meticulousness in production. Otherwise, he would definitely have failed products.
The most important thing is that Chen Wenzhe's output is not large, so he can take every work seriously.
After mixing the mud, Chen Wenzhe made a few small thin bowls. After thinking for a while, he made many small wine cups.
Then he made several small open-mouthed wine bottles without handles. This type of wine bottle has a simple production process and was mainly used in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, or the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
No one uses it now, or it has been replaced by glass products. This is a wine vessel similar to a wine divider.
The style is like an hourglass with two irregular upper and lower parts. The upper part is open and the lower part has a larger belly for holding wine.
The bottle is very small and is generally used for drinking alone.
Each of these porcelains are as thin as paper and are fired using Bao-firing technology. I wonder if they will be as bright as a mirror after they are fired?
Applying celadon glaze is a prelude to the trial firing of Ru porcelain.
The green glaze formula used added fire glass and agate powder. Because there was not much glaze, the speed was fast.
The porcelain produced is also simple in style and naturally faster.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe completed all these small bowls, wine jugs and wine cups in just one time.
If the firing is successful, these are some treasure-fired celadon-glazed porcelains.
The criterion for success is to produce a jade color when fired.
"Open a small kiln and burn these first!"
In fact, Chen Xingchen had already been waiting aside without Chen Wenzhe's instructions.
After Chen Xingchen took the things away, Chen Wenzhe started mixing the glaze again.
This time we are preparing a copper red glaze, and the formula is not troublesome. Just add a mineral to the finished copper red glaze.
