My system is not decent

Chapter 1122 Research and Innovation
I was so busy, I didn't know how many eggshell pottery embryos I made, and finally the wall of one of them met the requirements.

Although there is still [-] millimeters, this is already the extreme that his current technical level can achieve.

The subsequent process is simple. After the traditional hand-made wheel is used for molding, there is no glaze, and the body is calendered and carved during the drying process.

Finally, after high-temperature sintering, the kiln is sealed and carburized with coke smoke.

The pottery fired in this way is black and translucent, looking like gold, solid and dignified; knocking like a sweet, giving people a feeling of "black gold and black jade".

Chen Wenzhe is no stranger to this kind of adjective.

So to achieve this effect, he will not be too worried.

After all, the gold bricks he fired before are similar to the eggshell black pottery at this time.

As long as a finished product is made and successfully fired in the kiln, the rest will be simple.

After the trial burning is over, you can do whatever you want in the future.

The most important thing in making eggshell pottery is to refine the clay, draw the embryo and sharpen the embryo. After that, it is the icing on the cake. Even if you don’t make it, the finished product is a rare art treasure.

It's just that Chen Wenzhe is now in order to practice his skills, so he has to make and use all the crafts that can be done and used.

You must know that carving or even printing on the wall of a vessel as thin as an eggshell is not a simple matter, and it still requires certain skills.

Chen Wenzhe has a solid foundation and he is willing to work hard, so his skill level is improving very quickly.

Knowing that he suddenly felt, no matter pulling the embryo or sharpening the embryo, it became very easy.

He has been able to easily control the turntable and pull out the effect he wants.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe's embryo pulling and embryo sharpening techniques should have fully broken through to the master level.

Because he has already been able to make a [-]mm device embryo, which is the result of the combination of his embryo drawing technology and embryo sharpening technology.

But now he doesn't know this, he is still seriously making various types of black pottery.

Now he is imitating Shang silk slips, imitating bronze pottery tripods, hollow vases, embossed vases, brush washers, pen holders, gourds, incense burners, smoking bottles, hanging plates, etc.

These types of utensils all have one characteristic, that is, concise and hearty, simple and elegant.

Of course, it can also be made more complicated, such as red carving, shallow carving, openwork carving and other expressive techniques for body carving.

More decorations can also be added, and the decorations on this kind of thin-bodied porcelain are mostly drawn from natural scenery, such as pine, bamboo, plum, chrysanthemum, peony, bird, butterfly, fish, insect, etc.

It can even absorb the characteristics of art forms such as paper-cutting, wood carving, and embroidery to make more beautiful styles.

For example, the double-layer pot belly incense burner, the hollow relief is very delicate.

There is also a "dragon and phoenix bottle" with a shallow carved pattern of dragon and phoenix on the abdomen. The whole bottle body is a cloud-shaped hollow pattern.

After all, it is not ancient times now. The information that Chen Wenzhe can get access to is not considered the Pearl of Sui Hou. He can also learn a lot of technology through other channels.

The biggest advantage of modern people is to study ancient times and innovate.

So now some ceramic enterprises have developed and innovated compared with their predecessors in terms of production and firing.

As Chen Wenzhe knew, he used methods such as wheel making, moulding, printing, grouting, and hand molding in production;

In terms of shape, it pays attention to beauty, simplicity, elegance, various forms, and each has its own characteristics.

There are reliefs, baked colors, and engraved ancient calligraphy and paintings on the pottery surface;
It can be said that it integrates ancient pottery making technology with modern art and technology;
After making various types of utensils, the final step is firing.

In this step, the method of carburizing with high-temperature sealed kiln smoke is generally used, which is not much different from firing gold bricks.

So Chen Wenzhe also has experience, and the experience is very rich. After all, this is one of the few experiences that he has personally practiced.

In this last step, he can definitely do better.

For example, according to different requirements, he can respectively make the surface of ceramics reach the degree of matte, black and varnish.

Successive firing of several kilns made Chen Wenzhe burst into confidence.

With qualified eggshell pottery, isn’t it eggshell porcelain with a layer of glaze?
Compared with eggshell pottery, eggshell porcelain is more beautiful, which is what Chen Wenzhe pursues.

But this time learning to make thin-bodied porcelain, Chen Wenzhe was surprised to find that the inherited knowledge in the Suihou's Pearl is actually the most modern technology.

After in-depth research, Chen Wenzhe found that, in terms of eggshell porcelain technology, the technology of modern people is even more powerful.

In this regard, ancient people really cannot compare with modern people.

Chen Wenzhe followed the steps step by step. From ancient times to the present, he has to learn all the skills related to thin-bodied porcelain.

After a little inspection, he knew that the Song Dynasty had the least thin porcelain technology.

The technology at that time can be said to be the foundation, and it ushered in great development during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, the real peak of thin-bodied porcelain was after the founding of New China.

This point is similar to that of Chinese Red Porcelain, in that modern craftsmanship is much higher than ancient craftsmanship.

Thin-bodied porcelain is also known as "bodiless porcelain" and "eggshell porcelain". In fact, it should have originated in the Ming Dynasty.

The shadow celadon that appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty is moist and delicate, and has a sense of transparency, which is an important basis for the production of thin body porcelain.

In the Qing Dynasty, the craftsmanship of thin-bodied porcelain developed to a very high level, and the products were "thin as a cicada's wing". There were also two kinds of decorative pictures, enamel color and pastel color, which constituted a unique style.

Among them, the representative works are Kangxi famille rose December famous flower cup and Yongzheng enamel plum blossom bowl.

There are several famous kilns for making thin-bodied porcelain.

For example, the Jingzhen kiln that Chen Wenzhe had come into contact with before, and the Dehua white porcelain kiln, have been firing thin-bodied porcelain until now.

Chen Wenzhe didn't expect that he could learn the techniques of two famous kilns after learning the production of eggshell porcelain this time.

The first is Dehua craftsmanship, the representative work of which is the Dehua white porcelain tea set, which is still loved and sought after by tea people until now.

The production of the work is made of pure ore kaolin from Dehua, which is rare in stock.

After more than [-] processes such as batching, billet drawing, billet trimming, grinding, and firing, more than [-] times of manual trimming and firing in two to three times, it can be completed.

The production of thin-bodied porcelain in Dehua regards thinness as the beauty and transparency as the beauty. Therefore, the production requirements are extremely high and the difficulty is extremely high, especially the thin-bodied porcelain is the most delicate.

The rough billet has to go through rough trimming, fine trimming, and intensive repairing hundreds of times before the rough billet with a thickness of two or three millimeters can be trimmed to about 0.5 mm.

Because the porcelain is too thin, it is very easy to break and deform during the production process. It is really not easy to make a perfect thin cup.

With a single stroke, between breaths, achieve a state of no-mind, so that the fetal wall can be repaired smoothly and vividly.

Although it is difficult to make, it is as light as a floating cloud after firing, but the final yield is only about 5%.

Among them, the Dehua White Porcelain's Cicada Wing Series · Thin Bodied Tea Ware has a whiteness of 88.8 degrees, which is the highest of Dehua High White Porcelain, and the thickness of the finished cup is only 0.5mm.
