My system is not decent

Chapter 1109

Making gall bottles cannot be done in a step-by-step manner, and Chen Wenzhe needs to increase the difficulty step by step.

There are also gall bottles that want to make more complicated ones. In addition to the black-glazed hollow gall bottles mentioned earlier, there are many other hollow gall bottles and shadow-carved gall bottles.

Hollow-out bile bottles can be made into many shapes, simple ones are fine, and more complicated ones. Chen Wenzhe just made a small experiment, carved a few simple shapes, and stopped making them.

The Yingdiao bile bottle is quite special. It has a peculiar shape, a small mouth, a long neck, a gradually plump lower part, a plump abdomen and a flat bottom, giving people a lively and calm feeling.

Generally, the belly of the shadow carving gallbladder is decorated with fish playing with lotus, implying that the lotus will give birth to a precious son for more than one year.

The whole is engraved with arabesque patterns in a patchwork, continuous, rolling and relaxing, giving people an infinite sense of beauty.

It has a small mouth and a big belly, easy to enter and difficult to exit, and has the functions of avoiding evil and hiding treasures, gathering popularity, and making money and luck.

Therefore, the gall bottle will last forever, even if it has been passed down for thousands of years, it will still be loved by people.

In addition to these types of utensils, there are several strange types of utensils in the bile bottle.

Chen Wenzhe wants to do it, after all, it has already started, if he doesn't do it this time, he doesn't know when he will have an idea next time!

Porcelain such as bile bottle is difficult to understand if it does not enter the antique market.

However, as long as you get started, you will know that there are really many treasures in this category of porcelain.

For example, the small gallbladder bottle known as China Red is definitely not easy.

After all, I said before that if you want to be poor, you must become popular, but this time it is called China Red.

What does the red in "China Red" mean?What are the characteristics?
First of all, the red saturation is the highest, which is the true red, and it is the red glaze porcelain with the highest red saturation among Chinese red glaze porcelains.

Secondly, the glossiness and purity of the glaze surface are the first.

A layer of transparent glaze is formed on the surface of the glaze water, which is the red glazed porcelain with the highest glaze gloss and purity among Chinese red glazed porcelains.

The final fired Chinese red porcelain, the glaze color and shape complement each other.

You must know that the bright red on ceramics has been an eternal problem in the history of ceramics.

For many years, people have dreamed of putting the most beautiful colors in the world on the porcelain surface.

In the long history of Chinese ceramic art, copper red was invented in the Tang Dynasty;

Later, there was Junhong porcelain in the Song Dynasty.

Red glazed porcelains such as Jihong, Langhong, Carmine, Cowpea Red and Coral Red in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Although the color of these red glazed porcelains is not really bright red, it is because of the "redness" that the firing process is extremely demanding.

Because the "red" is not easy to come by, these ceramics have become treasures pursued by the royal court and collectors at home and abroad.

Because that "red" is hard to achieve, the ceramic industry often complains about the difficulties of "nine out of ten kilns" and "a rare product in a thousand kilns".

The tragic story of "the pottery girl refining red porcelain in the fire" is still circulating among the people.

For the pursuit of "big red", modern and modern western countries have also invested huge sums of money, but there has been no substantive breakthrough in the research and development work so far.

Because underglaze porcelain requires a certain degree of whiteness, hardness and transparency, it must be fired at a high temperature of 1300 °C.

The glaze that contributes to the bright red color on ceramics completely fades away when the temperature rises to the critical point of 800°C.

This is the same for firing red glaze porcelain. The coloring temperature of the copper element is [-] degrees, and it will volatilize at high temperature.

However, the firing temperature for firing porcelain needs to be [-] to [-] degrees, which is a contradiction.

And here, the difficulty of firing Chinese red glaze color is even higher than that of underglaze red.

At this time, what is needed is big red, not just any red.

Therefore, the advent of a piece of "Chinese Red" caused a "shocking world".

Since then, ceramics have also become bright red, and the underglaze color is red.

Although this kind of porcelain has a single-color glaze, although it is a gall bottle, and although it is simple in shape, if it is really made, it is not beautiful, right?

Therefore, regardless of whether it is a high-end red porcelain produced in modern times, this kind of porcelain has become a national gift porcelain with its irresistible charm.

Red-glazed porcelain has long been on Chen Wenzhe's firing list.

From carmine red at the beginning, to ruby ​​red, and now to bright red, he improved step by step, and finally let him touch the top glaze color.

He has completed the top three colors of celadon, and the red glaze is about to reach its peak. What's next?

Now is not the time to study red glaze in depth, after all, everything needs to be done step by step.

Now I am finishing the Ru kiln porcelain, and I have time to make some red-glazed porcelain in the middle. It is still possible to explore a little bit.

Chen Wenzhe knew that before the invention of high-temperature red porcelain, for more than a thousand years, no matter whether it was China or foreign countries, no matter whether the coloring element was copper, iron, or gold, the red porcelain made by firing had a hue of about bay red, brown red, rust red or red. fuchsia.

These are not the bright red that Chinese people like most, which is consistent with the color of the Chinese national flag and national emblem.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of the top porcelain masters in China have gone through 20 years of hardships and overcome thousands of difficulties in modern times. After firing at a high temperature above 1200 ℃, after many times of firing, they finally became brightly colored, noble and gorgeous, festive and auspicious. High-temperature bright red porcelain that is exactly the same color as the national flag and national emblem.

For such porcelain, the drawing, forming, carving, hollowing out, glazing, gilding, and painting of each piece are all carefully crafted by hand.

In the end, the color is bright, the hair color is uniform, and the light is beautiful. This is the treasure of the country-the treasure of porcelain-China Red!

It is very difficult to fire Chinese red wine, and the process is complicated, usually four times into the furnace.

The first is plain firing; the second is glaze firing; the third is red firing; the fourth is gold firing. In this process, the failure rate is very high, so there is a saying that nine out of ten kilns fail.

First of all, the formation of red porcelain is difficult. Copper red needs to be decomposed at 800 degrees, and Chinese red is made into porcelain at a high temperature of 1150 degrees.

Then it is expensive, first of all, the material is expensive.

Red glaze is fired from the rare metal tantalum, which is a rare metal more precious than gold. It can be said that Chinese red porcelain is fired from gold.

The cost is high and firing is difficult, so the final product is good.

Porcelain is good, and ceramics are usually distinguished by firing temperature.

Low-temperature pottery is heavy, while high-temperature fine white porcelain and jade porcelain are light.

The Chinese red is fired at a high temperature of thousands of degrees, and the jade is like curdled fat, which is precious enough.

Furthermore, the material is expensive. The red glaze is made of the rare metal tantalum, which is a rare metal more expensive than gold, and the golden pattern on the red porcelain is made of pure gold with a purity of more than 99%. , it can be said that Chinese red porcelain is fired with gold.

China Red Porcelain embodies the taste and inherent real value of noble art treasures only in terms of materials.

Therefore, this is modern art, and not everyone can see it, let alone buy it for collection.

This time, it was Chen Wenzhe who thought of this type of utensil in the bile vase. In addition, no matter it is Ru kiln or enamel color, it needs three or five times to enter the kiln, so he fired this four-time kiln. Kiln for porcelain.
