Chapter 1160 Mystery of Ge Kiln
Chen Wenzhe is naturally easy to grasp all kinds of small details, and it is impossible for him to have these weaknesses.

This must be because his kiln firing technology has reached the master level early.

Coupled with the many inheritance experiences he gained from the Suihou's Pearl, these allow him to master this shrinkage ratio very well.

Therefore, he can easily reproduce imitations that are exactly the same size as the real ones.

And this is also an extremely high technology, which is really difficult for ordinary people to master.

Therefore, this time imitating Ge kiln bile bottles, in addition to the body, glaze, and the shape of the vessel, some small details must be imitated at home.

If not, there are still technical shortcomings.

After all, it is not without purpose that Chen Wenzhe chose to re-burn the Ge kiln bile bottle.

The gallbladder bottle from Ge kiln he is imitating now has a small mouth, a long neck, sloping shoulders, a round belly, and a slightly drooping abdomen.

The bottom is a ring foot, the upper end of the ring foot is wide and the lower end is narrow, and it is slightly oblique, giving it a feeling that it cannot be squeezed by hand.

Its shape is dignified and beautiful. If you want to imitate such a shape well, you must control the shrinkage ratio well.

Otherwise, it is normal to fire a porcelain vase that is messy, uneven, or even crooked.

Only when the shape of the vessel is prepared can the glaze color and the unique characteristics brought by the unique glaze be considered.

This Ge kiln bile bottle imitated by Chen Wenzhe has beige glaze applied to the whole body, and the sole of the foot is black without glaze.

There are black and beige patterns on the body, that is, gold wire and iron thread patterns.

As one of the five famous kilns, Chen Wenzhe has long wanted to make a Ge kiln work.

However, it turned out that he had never seen Ge Kiln Ware with his own eyes, so he had always lacked confidence.

This time the Pearl of the Sui Dynasty changed, so that Chen Wenzhe could easily find all the skills related to the kiln firing in the knowledge treasure house of the Pearl of the Suihou.

After this, how could Chen Wenzhe hold back?
Next, he plans to make all the five famous kilns, and the reason why he made the Ge kiln first is simply because he knows the most about Ge kiln.

After all, he had already known Ge Kiln very well through various means before, and the most important thing was that he was able to make porcelain from Brother Kiln.

Although he has never done it, his methods and techniques for firing his younger brother's kiln are not bad.

After all, brother kiln and younger brother kiln were developed by two brothers. Although there are great differences, there are still many similarities on the basis.

According to the knowledge of Ge Kiln and Di Kiln, Chen Wenzhe can actually write a thesis.

After all, he was about to graduate, and even if he was going to an art university, he still needed to complete the homework he should have.

The reason why Ge Kiln was chosen to write the thesis is mainly because there is a very interesting historical mystery in it.

Because "Ge Kiln" was first discovered, formed a systematic cognition, and when the world reached a consensus, it was confirmed as a famous kiln in the Song Dynasty, that is, Ge Kiln was listed as one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.

Many people know this, and they all know that Ge Kiln has a pivotal position in the history of ceramics.

However, some people finally confirmed that Ge Kiln should be a workshop with strong technical force in the Longquan Celadon Kiln Department of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Influenced by the craftsmanship of official kilns, they produced a kind of celadon whose glaze is covered with fragments.

Therefore, the more accurate statement recognized by people should be: Ge Kiln is one of the five famous kilns in China, the era is the Southern Song Dynasty (doubtful), the characteristic is purple mouth and iron feet, and the founder Zhang Shengyi.

There is only one era in doubt, because many historical materials prove that during the Song Dynasty, no matter whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, there is no record of Ge Kiln.

Therefore, this statement is also recognized by many people.

Because there are a lot of materials and archaeological excavations, all show that the Ge kiln, especially the handed down Ge kiln, was not produced in the Southern Song Dynasty, but was produced in the Yuan Dynasty after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is full of controversies and mysteries, which is why Chen Wenzhe made a special batch of Ge Kilns this time.

Just because of Ge Kiln Ware, it is really special.

Ge kiln porcelain has many special features, first of all, the glazed surface of the porcelain is covered with fragments.

This is because the expansion coefficient of the carcass material when heated is greater than that of the glaze layer. When the porcelain is fired and cooled, the carcass will break the glass glaze layer on the surface, which is broken.

Here is the issue related to the shrinkage ratio. In a word, it still expands with heat and contracts with cold.

It's just that the thermal expansion and contraction of the Ge kiln's glaze are even more severe. After being fired in the kiln, there will be expansion and contraction.

Finally, because the thermal expansion coefficient is greater than the expansion coefficient of the glaze layer, the glaze surface is broken.

This is the reason for the cracking of the porcelain glaze, and all cracking porcelain is caused by this reason.

At the beginning of this phenomenon, the kiln workers will definitely think that the porcelain in this kiln has been burned.

However, because of the porcelain produced in this way, the body glaze is very tightly bonded, the glaze layer does not peel off, and it does not scratch hands. Except for the appearance of strange and natural flakes, there is no sense of hindering use.

Finally took it out and looked at it, and it still looks beautiful.

Therefore, this can be regarded as a batch of special porcelain that has been fired successfully.

Since then, because of this unique artistic charm, it has become the fine porcelain pursued by the world.

Because of this, the craftsmen of the Longquan Kiln in the Song Dynasty artificially controlled the composition of the glaze and made this kind of porcelain with peculiar patterns, which added luster to the hundred gardens of porcelain art in the Song Dynasty.

Because it was quite unexpected when it first appeared, there were still many technical difficulties at the beginning of firing.

In order to produce high-quality Ge kiln wares, it is necessary to control all aspects of porcelain stones, clay tires, glazes, and craftsmanship.

Now that Chen Wenzhe is going to publish a paper, he needs to do more in-depth research.

Fortunately, he still understands Longquan kiln, after all, the first batch of porcelain he imitated was Longquan celadon.

This gave him a deeper understanding of Longquan Kiln, or Ge Kiln.

This is very beneficial for Chen Wenzhe to resume firing Ge kiln porcelain.

He knew very well that the Ge Kiln porcelains found in archaeological excavations and investigations in Longquan area were all gray and white.

And the texture is relatively thick, with light gray celadon glaze, and the enamel is plump.

Its flakes are different in size and deep in depth.

When loading the box, the blank tool is a pad cake or a gasket, and the texture of the pad burning tool is very delicate.

Among the handed down porcelains, which are considered to be the works of Ge Kiln, there are also those with iron bone body, dark gray body, and khaki body. The glaze colors include fried beige, light fried beige, etc.

These have obtained some information through Chen Wenzhe's acquisition of the Yuan Dynasty blue and white glazed red jade pot and spring vase.

It's a pity that he got too much information at that time, and he didn't study it carefully.

Besides, some of the historical images he saw at that time had no narration or explanation.

He can determine what dynasty it is based on the characters and clothing that appear in the inheritance, combined with the craftsmanship and shape of the porcelain, and infers the approximate age.

Now we need to understand in depth whether Ge Kiln is a branch of Longquan Kiln or a famous kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. It really needs to be analyzed carefully.
