When I arrived at the company, I saw two brothers, Luo Qing and Luo Bai, wearing aprons and making ceramic embryos in a dejected manner.
The two siblings were so focused on what they were doing that they didn't see Yang Zimei coming.
Yang Zimei looked on with interest and asked Min Gang: "Are these raw materials for making porcelain the same as other ordinary raw materials?"
Hearing her voice, Luo Baifang raised his head and smiled at her: "Miss Yang is here?" [
"Well, you are busy with your business and don't worry about me."
Yang Zimei sat down on the small stool nearby.
"If you want to make it look like it, you have to use the same raw materials as ancient porcelain. Otherwise, you can't make a high imitation. And the soil used to make the clay body must be close to the Macang soil of the Yuan Dynasty. Only in this way can we create Yuan Dynasty porcelain."
The smooth and waxy feeling of blue and white is not too dense and not too loose, and the cross section of the tire soil has the characteristics of obvious gaps. The thickness of the tire soil must also be ground in accordance with ancient standards." Ming Gang explained at the side.
"Is it hard to find the Macang soil?" Yang Zimei asked.
"It is already very scarce." Min Gang smiled bitterly, "almost equal to the price of gold. In addition to the Ma Cang soil, the coloring agent is also extremely difficult to find. At that time, the coloring agent used in Yuan blue and white porcelain was from
The raw materials of sumac and lizard imported from Iran had been exhausted in the late Ming Dynasty and were no longer imported. My father sent people to Iran to collect and purchase, but he could only get a little from a traditional craftsman.
"
"How can we open a company if the raw materials are so exhausted?" Yang Zimei was confused. Although she knew that the raw materials for imitating Yuan blue and white were scarce, she didn't expect them to be so difficult to find. Without raw materials, how could the company continue to operate?
"It can only be divided into two levels. Real Ma Cang soil and Suma Liqing are used to make first-class imitation Yuan blue and white, while for the others, we have to use clay tires close to Ma Cang soil and ingredients that imitate Suma Liqing.
It’s a coloring agent. However, it’s not easy to prepare. Just selling this coloring agent can make more money than whitening powder, and it’s not illegal.” Ming Gang explained.
"Has the finished product been released?" Yang Zimei asked with interest.
"I just made a blue and white bowl, but Luo Bai said it was a failure." Min Gang said.
"Well, it's a failed product. When I was coloring, my hand shook slightly, causing the picture to fail." Luo Bai said helplessly.
"It's okay, I'll just take a look."
Min Gang carefully took out a blue and white porcelain bowl from the office.
For Luo Bai, although this was a failure, for Min Gang, it was the first bowl of his company, which was of great significance.
Yang Zimei took the blue and white porcelain bowl.
This bowl feels very good, as smooth and tender as jade, and has a strong waxy and soft feel. Whether it is the shape, decoration, or even the body and glaze, it is exactly the same as Yuan blue and white.
If she hadn't opened her eyes to see it, she wouldn't have been able to tell that it wasn't an antique bowl.
This blue and white picture is also very well painted, clear and delicate, just like the light blue after the rain. It makes people feel relaxed and happy after looking at it, and they can't put it down.
"Where's the failure?"
Yang Zimei searched for the failure Luo Bai mentioned, but couldn't find it.[
"Well, here, it's a very subtle place." Min Gang pointed to the petals of one of the flowers.
Sure enough, there is a slightly longer line sliding across the edge of the petals, but if you don't look carefully, you can't really see it, and it doesn't affect the senses of the entire flower.
