The last process of making pastel porcelain is "green blowing", which is to evenly spray a layer of glaze on the bottom or inside of the porcelain.
The color of spray glaze is mostly light green, so it is called blown green.
The ninth step is "gold tracing", which is to apply porcelain gold powder on the feet, mouth, carving parts and other places that need to be traced with gold.
After the porcelain is painted with gold, it is fired, and then the gold painted parts are lightly ground with agate stone to reveal the golden luster and add a sense of wealth and luxury.
This is the standard production method of pastel porcelain from the third generation of Qing Dynasty. It can be said that every process embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people.
Just seeing the making of such a piece of pastel porcelain is enough to pay for the price.
Chen Wenzhe felt that the white dragon pattern plum vase he gave away was worth it!
"Everyone, everyone, thank you seniors and colleagues for coming to support me. It's almost nine o'clock now. After the bell rings, it's time to unveil and cut. Please invite all the seniors from Jingzhen!"
Just when Chen Wenzhe was looking at it with fascination, Wu Er's voice came.
Looking at Wu Er, he was also wearing a bright red festive Tang suit.
This Tang suit made him look more serious, and also eliminated some of the cynicism or hostility in him?
At this time, Wu Er really looked like a rich man!
Chen Wenzhe was not interested in the unveiling or tailoring, but he really wanted to support Wu Er.
What Wu Er did was really good and he also had a lot of background.
Although the things here are all high imitations, the imitations are really good!
I have seen modern high imitations, and I can also look at Republican high imitations, and they are all clearly marked with prices.
Looking at each item one by one, Chen Wenzhe quickly determined that Wu Er would make a fortune.
He felt a little emotional, a small red glazed bowl would cost 100,000 yuan!
And he also saw that there were actually many people watching, these were potential customers.
Also, many people are studying the Yuan blue and white flowers here.
It's research. Three or five people are surrounding a piece, studying it carefully, trying to find out where there are flaws.
In Chen Wenzhe's eyes, there are flaws everywhere, but in the eyes of these people, it is perfect!
Such Yuan blue and white flowers, as small as jade pots, spring vases, and flat pots, cost at least 300,000 yuan each.
Large items, such as large jars and plum vases, cost at least 500,000 yuan each, and this is still the wholesale price!
In other words, Wu Er opened today, and the prices he marked were all preferential prices.
No wonder Li Jinli had been whispering to him every day, asking him to make a batch of high imitations and not sell them. It would also be good to use as a deterrent.
So he made the Double Dragon bottle, and Li Jinli stopped talking about it after that.
At that time, he had not imagined that the pressure faced by Yi Niantang would be so great.
It turns out that Chen Wenzhe has never visited those porcelain shops that make high imitations, so he doesn't know that modern high imitations can be imitated to this extent?
There is no problem with imitation, but the price is really high.
No matter who it is, as long as the imitation is good, it can be sold for 100,000, 300,000, or even 500,000.
This does not depend on fame, but on craftsmanship.
And for those young artists who have studied art for more than ten years, how much can one of their works sell for?
Generally, they can only be sold for one or two thousand, and a slightly better one can be sold for four or five thousand. Only when you become famous can you break through ten thousand.
Compared to these high imitations, it doesn’t seem too important to leave your own name on your own works, right?
This is the basis for the development of antique porcelain, and no one can resist this temptation.
While walking, Chen Wenzhe discovered the chicken cup.
Of course, these are not his imitations, they should be works from Jingzhen.
The world-famous chicken bowl cup, the antique fruit tea cup...
Ordinary people can't afford the real thing, so it's okay to buy a high imitation to improve their taste, right?
Chen Wenzhe took a closer look and found that it was definitely a fine imitation, but it was still far from his work.
This is not because the craftsmanship is not good, but because the glaze is not good enough.
They didn't have Chen Wenzhe's cheating methods. They couldn't get the glaze formula that others used back then, so naturally they couldn't make the same glaze.
Even so, the master craftsmen in Jingzhen still carefully crafted more than 80 exquisite pieces.
There are more than 80 pieces, all of which are high-quality products. Is this boy Wu Er the biological son of the big boss in Jingzhen?
You know, the porcelain of the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is the most sought after object in the art market.
This is because the porcelain firing technology during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty has reached maturity and is impeccable in terms of craftsmanship.
Moreover, the emperors of these three dynasties loved porcelain and invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources in elaborate production. The porcelain produced was exquisite and unique, unmatched by previous generations.
This time, Wu Er displayed more than 80 carefully crafted imitation "Three Dynasties" ceramic art pieces, including more than 50 pastel pieces and more than 20 blue and white pieces.
This is really not simple. After all, it is normal for one or two items to appear. The appearance of so many at once really surprised Chen Wenzhe.
However, these are probably not the strongest works from Jingzhen!
As far as Chen Wenzhe knows, Jingzhen has held many high-end imitation activities.
On one occasion, they provided three pieces of blue and white porcelain, which were fine blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty and Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.
The originals are stored in the Palace Museum and Wanwan Palace Museum respectively.
In particular, the Blue and White Three-Glorious Thatched Cottage Jar is a representative work of blue and white flowers from the Yuan Dynasty. The shape and color of the jar are very similar to the "Guiguzi Down the Mountain" jar that sold for a sky-high price internationally. It can be called a pair of twin brothers.
That high imitation of the Sangu Thatched Cottage Jar perfectly reproduces all the features of the real thing. That’s all. This is the most amazing thing.
Until now, Chen Wenzhe cannot make such a high imitation of Yuan blue and white.
Chen Wenzhe shook his head and slowly walked to the other side.
It was at this time that he discovered that some people suddenly flocked to the area he had just been watching.
Unable to help being curious, Chen Wenzhe also took a look. At this sight, he was a little dumbfounded.
Because what was being watched over there was a plum vase, and it was a plum vase with blue glaze and white dragon pattern.
Almost at a glance, Chen Wenzhe could tell that it was his thing.
The gift he just gave was arranged by that kid Wu Er to put it on the shelves?
Thinking about it this way, when Chen Wenzhe looks at other high-quality imitations, he will know where these things come from.
However, to know so many old-fashioned masters, to be able to invite them all, and to give each of them a generous gift, Wu Er is pretty good.
However, Chen Wenzhe always believed that maybe the person behind Wu Er was very good, at least with good strength.
Instead of walking back, Chen Wenzhe continued to move forward and came to an area with few people.
There are fewer people here, because the antique porcelain here is imitated from the Republic of China and is considered antique, so the price is relatively high.
Of course, the number of people is compared to the other side. In fact, after walking over, Chen Wenzhe discovered that there were not many people here at all.
