My system is not decent

Chapter 1128 Where is the secret
In order to produce a beautiful glaze color, each glaze is usually composed of more than a dozen ores.

Among them, the composition of glaze chemical elements is extremely complex, especially the trace elements are unpredictable.

These uncertain factors make the production of colored glaze porcelain extremely difficult, the yield rate is very low, and the cost is very high. Most people dare not try it lightly.

This technique has been repeated in history, and even experienced old craftsmen can generally only fire one or two glaze colors.

It is like a living being, changing all the time.

The intervention of modern technology can help us understand it and adapt to it, but there is no way to fully control it.

This is the difficulty of firing colored glazes, to be precise, Liuxia lamps.

If Chen Wenzhe is allowed to make it, he can easily make copper-red glazed porcelain.

However, he can't guarantee that he will be able to achieve the effect of Liu Xiazhan, and this also requires luck.

After all, it is a Liuxia lamp. As the name suggests, the red glaze on it is like flowing rosy clouds, and some are like peacocks spreading their tails, like chrysanthemums, etc. These are uncontrollable.

But, no matter what, she is beautiful, very beautiful, otherwise she would not have become a treasure as soon as she appeared.

Chen Wenzhe can easily fire copper-red glaze monochrome porcelain, but it is not easy to achieve the beautiful effect of Liuxia lamp.

But with Sui Hou's Pearl, everything became different, he could directly learn the craftsmanship of Master Deng Xiping.

In fact, now he can not only learn the skills of Master Deng alone.

The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui is different now. Now that we can learn the techniques of Master Deng, what about the techniques of other modern masters?

After a search, it was found inside the Pearl of Suihou.

It's just that he doesn't have time to study now. After all, none of the masters in modern times is simple.

Their skills are not so easy to learn.

The most important thing is that their skills need to be practiced!

Now Chen Wenzhe is busy enough, he doesn't want to continue to open up new shows.

Now that you have learned the technique, do it.

Whether it can be successful or not, you will know by firing it.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe's studio was filled with body mud, glazes, porcelain bodies and so on.

He picked up a clay cup embryo with his left hand, and skillfully applied glaze with a brush in his right hand.

Doing this kind of work is not only bitter and tiring, but the working environment is also poor.

The main reason is that the production process of these porcelains is complicated, and the ancients said that "after seventy-two hands, a square can be made into a vessel".

He has to start from looking for raw ore, and then to glaze formula, glaze, and firing.

During this period, there are actually far more than 72 processes, and each process also contains sub-processes, but the fun in it can only be experienced by those who are immersed in it.

Glaze looks inconspicuous, like lime slurry, but different recipes can produce completely different things, ever-changing.

Looking at the glazed cup, it is uneven, but after being fired at a high temperature of 1370 degrees Celsius, it is fluid.

When I finally got out of the kiln, I saw that this one was red and that one was blue. The ugly duckling had turned into a white swan!

In this small space full of bottles and cans, Chen Wenzhe manipulated it skillfully.

And on the ground at the entrance of his studio, there are many finished products.

The reason it was left outside was because those were burnt.

The formula is the same, the person who applies the glaze is the same, and the kiln is the same, but even if all the pre-processes are done well, nearly a quarter of the things will still burn out.

This is the difficulty of firing copper-red glazed porcelain. With such a high failure rate, ordinary people really cannot afford it.

Therefore, in this line of work, the heart must be particularly strong.

Like Chen Wenzhe, he has high requirements for porcelain and has a higher rework rate.

If the tire burns out, it will become a porcelain tile.

There are both surprises of success and failures.

If it burns out, we must study it, find out where the problem is, and solve the problem.

Some tires are not broken and can be burned again.

Some people say that color glaze is "the most mysterious art".

It is unique and cannot be duplicated.

To fire a perfect high-temperature color glaze work, not only requires the producer to have a deep understanding of the natural properties of the glaze and the blank, but also requires the producer to have a good control of the kiln fire.

This is really the case with the secret glaze Liuxia lamp. If it is fired successfully, the effect will definitely make all your efforts worthwhile.

Especially after seeing that radiant, dreamlike effect.

Viewed from different angles, the light spots in the lamp are multi-layered, as if there is a puddle of water floating in the air.

At this moment, Chen Wenzhe thought of the secret-colored porcelain lotus-petal bowl in his hand, where is it secret?

Is it normal to say that like water?Feeling normal?
You will only be shocked if you actually see the original.

Chen Wenzhe's secret color porcelain is a high-legged lotus-petal bowl, glazed with celadon, and the third part of the bowl looks like there is water.

"That bowl of water moves and moves, it's amazing!"

After continuous pondering and trial production, it took half a month for Chen Wenzhe to make a watchable one.

Of course, it is not the secret color porcelain, nor the Liuxia lamp, but the secret color glaze Liuxia lamp.

The combination of the two, what kind of effect is going on?
It was the color of lava, and it smelled a little watery, but it wasn't successful yet.

In particular, Liuxia, which flows like water, has not been shown.

This requires the production of kiln-changed red-glazed porcelain, which has a sense of radiation and flow.

That is to say, the red glaze in the bowl still needs to have the feeling of flow, just like the rosy clouds radiating the brilliance, which is really not easy to do.

In order to create the feeling of flowing clouds and create a flowing form, Chen Wenzhe tried many times according to Master Deng's technique.

Unexpectedly, it really felt like water came out!
I wanted to make the pattern flow, but I didn't expect the effect of water!

Moreover, the water level is very high, even higher than the secret porcelain he made back then!

With this success, Chen Wenzhe really touched the threshold.

Therefore, in the following days, he not only learned how to make the Liuxia lamp, but also combined with the secret color porcelain to make a real secret color glaze Liuxia lamp.

Since then, his craftsmanship has been out of control, and he has produced many classic porcelains one after another, especially some modern porcelains created by Master Deng Xiping.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe gained far more than these during this period.

Because Master Deng successfully trial-produced "Lead-free Junhong Glaze" in 1976.

This completely eliminates the danger of lead poisoning for color glaze practitioners.

In addition to this basic craft, there is also a "new formula of large Lang red glaze".

In the firewood kiln, he successfully fired extra-large Langhong products for the first time.

It was a 62cm-high "300 Langhong Glazed Beauty Shoulder Vases".

There is also a new kiln transformation process of "flowers hidden in glaze" developed in 1982, and new kiln transformation glazes such as Phoenix clothing glaze and feather silk glaze.
