Chen Wenzhe was accustomed to Professor Tao's enthusiasm.
Just walk over and get started!
It is difficult to make a revolving bottle. It is not easy to make one piece.
He first checked carefully to see if there was any deformation. If there was no deformation, it was a success.
Then came the outer bottle, inner bottle, everything that could be touched, touched them all.
Touch it, look at it, and marvel at it!
The revolving bottle is an ornamental bottle that combines the inner and outer bottles through a tenon and tenon rivet structure, and the inner bottle can rotate.
This kind of porcelain is an innovative variety during the Qianlong period. Its shape is novel and ingenious, and its craftsmanship is extremely high.
During the Qianlong period, in addition to the production of revolving bottles, revolving bottles were also produced.
The difference between the two is also very obvious. The inner bottle can rotate is a rotary bottle, and the outer bottle can rotate is a rotary bottle.
Since the inner and outer bottles are separate, the method of firing them separately is adopted, so that the joints between the inner and outer bottles and the mortise and rivets are made of raw material.
In addition, the bottle body must be fired in three parts separately. During the process, the shrinkage ratio of each part must be controlled to avoid errors after assembly, bonding, and color touch-up.
It can be said that if you want to successfully bake a revolving bottle, there are a lot of problems, and all of them need to be avoided as much as possible.
It is extremely difficult to bake anything like this, so Chen Wenzhe took it very seriously.
You need to pay attention to the shape, color, thickness, uniformity, whether the inner and outer bottles are coordinated, how well they are connected, and whether there is any deformation.
As long as you are careful and have enough talent, it is not difficult to identify these.
After looking at it for a while, I felt that the entire rotating bottle was in order and there were no problems.
Chen Wenzhe breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem!"
"This is the biggest problem. It's too formal, which means the craftsmanship is too strong. It can't be compared with the random works of the craftsmen in the Qing palace!"
Tao Yiyun shook his head to express his dissatisfaction. The imitation was just an imitation, and the craftsmanship was too strong.
Both the depiction and the shape of the vessel are too rigid and lack the casualness of a masterpiece.
The craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty did a lot of work, and their craftsmanship was pure and incomparable. No matter what they did, they were very casual.
However, being casual does not mean being careless. People's random work means that it is skillful but not workmanlike.
In comparison, things that are deliberately imitated look too neat.
This is just like modern machinists, too deliberate and unnatural.
Chen Wenzhe couldn't see these things at first, but with the basic old-fashioned skills, he also gained some appreciation.
"It's just average, you can read it, but you can't use it!"
"Professor, what do you plan to do with this bottle?"
Looking at the heart-changing bottle in front of him, Chen Wenzhe felt itchy in his heart.
This kind of high-level porcelain is very rare even if it is not a fine product.
"Donate to the school's charity foundation, they will auction it off, and the proceeds will be used for disaster relief!"
"Um, how much is this bottle worth?"
"Three to ten thousand!" Tao Yiyun sighed again.
This revolving bottle is really not easy to bake. There are too many technical difficulties in it.
Even if he imitates the simplest revolving bottle, he can only get some common products!
I looked at it again and found no major problems. This must be considered a high imitation. This kind of bottle is very suitable for aging.
Besides, porcelain made by Professor Tao is rare.
It's an opportunity when it comes, and Chen Wenzhe naturally doesn't want to let it go.
"Professor Tao, I'll buy it for 40,000 yuan. It's a donation anyway, so why not donate more!"
"Huh? What a good boy, I just made 70,000 yuan, now I'm going to spend 40,000 yuan?"
Tao Yiyun looked at Chen Wenzhe, his eyes full of admiration.
"Ah? You already know?"
Chen Wenzhe's heart was filled with fright, as this news spread too quickly.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles!
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Those in our profession must keep their true intentions."
"Xingchen, come here for a moment. You have to thank Wenzhe for giving you the best gift!"
Chen Xingchen came over. Although he had a sullen face, his excitement from the bottom of his heart could not be concealed at all.
"Are you so happy? You've only finished half of that piece of porcelain!"
"Teacher!" Chen Xingchen was a little embarrassed.
Professor Tao shook his head and said: "Distressing is not a serious craft. If you want to become famous, you still need to make a modern high imitation like the one in Jingzhen. If you don't need to distress the porcelain, you can still sell it for 70,000 yuan."
, you can start training."
"Professor, I can't do that. That one sold for 26 million!"
"It was just an accident. The starting price at the beginning was only one thousand US dollars. Who would have thought that it would fetch a sky-high price later? Of course, the main thing is that the item is good, otherwise it wouldn't be auctioned!"
Chen Wenzhe knew that what they were talking about was an accident.
It is about a large auction company in the United States that recently auctioned a tureen at a low price of one thousand US dollars. Unexpectedly, it unexpectedly sold for 26 million yuan.
After learning about this, the author was also very surprised. When he pointed out the hidden inscription left on the porcelain, everyone was dumbfounded.
A piece of modern art was treated as a genuine piece and was auctioned at a large auction, and it fetched a sky-high price.
And this kind of thing is not uncommon, because it happened not only once in the United States, but also in Neon many times.
"Wen Zhe, making things old is not the right way. Although you have the choice to find a buyer, it is better not to do it if you can!"
"If you really want to do it, just find those two neon friends. They really need some fine porcelain. You can continue to provide it to them!"
Chen Wenzhe didn't know what to say. He never thought that Professor Tao was so evil.
"Just keep the money! I've already taken care of changing your major for you. You can take classes with me today!"
"Teacher, there's no need to keep it. Ill-gotten gains are like running water. It's better to donate them to the disaster area. Besides, I only donated 40,000 yuan, and I still have 30,000 yuan left!"
Tao Yiyun hesitated for a moment, "Okay, you contact Xingchen, and he will transfer the money to the school's account when the time comes, and the school will manage and use it uniformly."
Chen Wenzhe was very quick and took out his mobile phone to transfer money.
"This semester is almost over, and next is the exam month. Today I will take a look at your craftsmanship. You have been working here for more than two years, so you should have learned something!"
Tao Yiyun is very satisfied with Chen Wenzhe's performance.
Of course, there are many sighs. How many children’s futures have been delayed because of money?
After coming back to his senses, Chen Wenzhe immediately became nervous.
Although he has some talent, his experience in the past two years has taught him that making ceramics is not that simple.
"Activate the main mission. The starting point of civilization begins with burning bricks and making tiles. You will be rewarded with a passive inheritance (burning gold bricks)!"
"Main mission 1: Highly imitate gold bricks and gain recognition from the world. Complete the mission and be rewarded with independent inheritance ten times."
"Activate the side task: Make a high-imitation porcelain by yourself, and gain recognition from the world. Successfully reward an independent inheritance!"
