No matter what industry you are in, you need to master core technologies, such as some difficult-to-make purple clay pot shapes.
Among them there must be monk hat pots and beauty pots!
"There shouldn't be many companies making beauty pots, right?" Chen Wenzhe asked.
"Yes, but the level is not very high. If this kind of thing is not done well, it is obvious at a glance that they cannot compete with us!"
Chen Xingchen's face showed a hint of confidence. No one in the antique city could match the beauty pot he made.
Of course, there are some high-quality products in other stores, but those high-quality products, like Chen Wenzhe's works, are short-lived and impossible to appear in large quantities.
In this way, Chen Xingchen's beauty pots produced in large quantities are squeezing the market and dominating one side.
However, this situation should not last long.
It’s still about interests. As long as there are interests, someone will definitely do it, and they will do it better and better.
Beauty pot is a threshold. There are many beauty pots that can make beauty pots, but not many can make beauty pots that reach the fourth level of craftsmanship.
What's more, Chen Xingchen's talent is pretty good. His level 5 beauty pot can be sold for the price of level 6.
However, there are too many talented people in this world, but they just haven't had the opportunity.
And now, the opportunity has come.
The purple clay teapots in the antique city, especially the beauty teapots, have already gained some fame.
With a reputation, some people who love pots will gather around. They are knowledgeable, so they can tell whether the pot is good or bad.
This is an opportunity for some unknown people. As long as the things they make are good, they are not afraid of being buried.
This is an opportunity that you don't have anywhere else.
As long as there is a thousand-mile horse, there must also be a bole. In this world, now it is really full of wine but afraid of deep alleys.
Those who are capable will eventually come to the fore.
Now Chenghuang Temple Antique City is such a place where it is easy to stand out.
As long as the market is well maintained, Chenghuang Temple Antique City will develop faster and better in the future.
Because if you have good customers, you will naturally have good craftsmanship.
Under a virtuous cycle, it is even difficult for the business of Chenghuang Temple to fail!
However, if you want to gain a foothold in the Chenghuang Temple Antique City in the future, you must have skills, and at least you must have unique skills in the professional field.
Chen Xingchen looked at the exhibition hall next to him. The most eye-catching thing in it should be the bright red monk's hat on the high wall, right?
The true red ruby red glaze sparkles under the light!
Just such a purple clay teapot, without a hundred thousand yuan, absolutely cannot be taken away.
Looking to the side, I saw a small vermilion pot, which looked a bit like an ugly duckling!
This work should not be placed in front of the high-walled monk's hat, as it will look even uglier.
Know your shame and then be brave, work hard!
Chen Xingchen was very helpless. His work should be the best among the monk's hat pots made recently, and the one that satisfied him the most.
However, after it was fired and placed here, it became a negative example.
"Don't be depressed. If you take this piece to the antique city, you can sell it for three to two thousand!"
Chen Xingchen was speechless. His beauty pot could sell for eight thousand, but the monk's hat, which required higher technical requirements, could only sell for three or two thousand? Can't even reach three thousand?
"You take the time to make a few more monk hat pots. That guy Li Jinli is getting anxious. He wants to take this one away, but I don't agree."
"I've made a lot of porcelain recently, but he can't sell enough?" Chen Wenzhe asked strangely.
"Competition has increased! By the way, has he asked you to make high imitations? I heard that he wants to be in the limelight, otherwise we will be forgotten as soon as we read together. You must be willing to let others
Look at what we are capable of." Chen Xingchen said earnestly.
Looking at Chen Xingchen's appearance, Chen Wenzhe was happy: "Can you become famous through high imitation? Do you want me to imitate a jade seal for you? The kind that is ordered by heaven?"
"No, just copy a few pieces from the Third Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. I know that you should be able to imitate this level of porcelain perfectly. When the time comes, you will leave your name internally, so you won't be able to sell it temporarily.
Putting a few high imitations in the store as not for sale will at least attract some experts, and it will definitely create a sensation. Then the business will naturally increase. We must do this kind of signboarding thing."
"Imitated a Shuanglong Pankou Zun!"
"Can you imitate a few more colorful pieces?"
"Yes, I just don't think it's necessary!"
"Why is it not necessary? The most difficult part is that the Antique City is almost filled with porcelain from Jingzhen. We also need to show some skills. After the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, we can't imitate them, but we of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty can't do it?"
"Okay, Jingzhen really needs to suppress it, otherwise we won't be able to survive." Chen Wenzhe agreed.
The Ming and Qing imitations in Jingzhen are indeed not very good, but their best imitations are those from the Jiadao period after Qianlong.
Because the craftsmanship of that period has not been dated at all.
In other words, Jingzhen still has the firing technology of the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty.
Using such technology cannot be said to be imitation, it is simply manufacturing.
If there is another expert, if it is slightly aged, it will really be hard to tell the authenticity from the fake!
In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, it was really not difficult to make something old.
If the Antique City also becomes a center for high imitations, then wouldn’t this market become another first collection museum? This is not what Chen Wenzhe wants.
Thinking about it this way, is the interior painting technique he accidentally learned going to be opened?
It's quite cool to think about making a high-quality imitation and leaving the words "Chen Chen" inside.
Just make some high-quality imitations that everyone knows the origin of, so that people will know that they are imitations at a glance, but they can't identify anything wrong. This is more satisfying.
As the two people talked, they returned to the workshop. It was already past nine o'clock, and all the workers were finishing the work.
When the workers were almost gone, Chen Wenzhe took Chen Xingchen to his workshop.
After looking around, he found that there was still green glaze in his studio, so he mixed some pink green glaze, and after thinking about it, he also made some bean green glaze.
This time, Chen Wenzhe planned to make all celadon glazed porcelain, and only made it from the Qianlong and Yongzheng dynasties.
I had previously made a Yongzheng pink celadon glaze appliqué with a double-dragon plate mouth, and that piece of porcelain was auctioned for more than 120 million yuan.
And Chen Wenzhe remembered that there was another piece of porcelain that was similar to it. The shape was very similar and the price was not low.
It seems to be a Yongzheng pink celadon glaze double dragon ear appliqué pot, and the price is not low, it seems to have been sold for 41,400,000 yuan.
This one is not too big, the ears are made of double dragons, and the whole pot is in the shape of a pot with decals on it, so it is called a double dragon ear decal pot.
This is another piece of pink celadon glaze, which is easy to make and easy to apply the glaze.
I have spent too much time making pots, so I am the most proficient. Just a moment later, a neat double dragon ear appliqué pot appeared in front of Chen Xingchen.
