My system is not decent

Chapter 1235 Cheating Always Enjoying
All the porcelain that Chen Wenzhe is firing now is high-quality antique porcelain, and it is impossible for him to use an air kiln.

However, he still needs to be clear about some issues that should be known.

This is also the usefulness of the master master of the pile. Even if the master porcelain maker does not understand some things, if the master of the pile has rich experience, he can find problems in advance and avoid problems during the firing process as much as possible.

Still talking about Huiyuan blue and white, some fakes are not only fired in an air kiln in order to save labor time, but they can also connect the mouth and neck of the tank to the obvious upper position.

This is obvious and goes against the characteristics of the times.

Of course, it is impossible for these masters to help you solve these piles, and only the master porcelain maker can do it himself.

Chen Wenzhe is very clear that from the Yuan, Ming to the early Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the belly of the cans made had internal joints, and some Yuan blue and white imitations had no joints on the abdomen and feet.

The blue-and-white plum vases and jade pot springs of the Yuan Dynasty must have internal joints except for the six- and eight-sided abdomen, which is in line with the craftsmanship at that time.

In order to cover up the new tires of some imitations, the inside of the vessel is filled with glaze.

The real ones were only glazed at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and there were very few glazes on the inside of the jar and the bottom of the bottle, and they were very thin and smooth to the touch.

Some counterfeit internal interfaces have about 10 mm band-shaped joint marks, and repair burrs are left, which do not have the characteristics of air-drying on the real interface.

Now in the circulation market, there are imitations of the three grades of Yuan blue and white.

Some of them are almost seamless, and all the features on the utensils that have been published as information photos can be artificially made.

You can do anything like "tin light", "glaze tear", "brick joint", "flint red" and so on.

They even mixed coarse particles into the fetal soil, mixed with the old soil, and took the fake as the real one.

Therefore, collectors should be very careful, and if there is any doubt, they should be cautious;
For the same piece of Yuan blue and white, two experts have drawn opposite conclusions, so it is best not to touch such objects.

Because this shows that this artifact is controversial and needs to be studied and discussed by professional workers.

This kind of debate and discussion may continue for a long time.

No matter what the final conclusion is, such inconclusive utensils can only be used for research and should not be collected.

In fact, controversial porcelain is not terrible, the most terrible are those works without any objection.

And there is no shortage of masters in Jingzhen who can make this kind of fake and genuine museum collections.

As far as Chen Wenzhe knows, there are at least ten masters of this level in Jingzhen.

The Huang Lao mentioned just now is one of them. This master is known as a porcelain idiot in Jianghu, and he is known as the first person in Chinese antique porcelain.

Graduated from Jingzhen Ceramic Institute, engaged in ceramic research and creation for 40 years.

Successfully deciphered the formulas of mud glaze, blue and white, underglaze red, and overglaze multicolored pigments used behind the famous porcelain of the past dynasties.

In terms of creation, Mr. Huang is very good at digging out the natural beauty of ceramic materials, and he is well versed in the matching of various vessel types and glaze colors, and his works are so beautiful.

For such a master, if Chen Wenzhe learned a little bit of his craft, it would not be difficult to make Yuan blue and white flowers.

Chen Wenzhe himself has almost thoroughly explored the technique and formula of re-burning Yuan blue and white.

At the present level, further in-depth research is already a waste of time.

At this time, he didn't mind, so he speeded up the process and directly learned from the experience of the seniors.

Especially the mud glaze formula. This time he not only obtained the blue and white glaze formula, but also obtained the underglaze red and overglaze pigment formulas by the way.

Looking at the formula in his hand, Chen Wenzhe felt a little emotional.

It is very easy for him to obtain these secret formulas, but it is not easy for those seniors to research these formulas.

Huang Lao, for example, has been on this road for more than forty years.

On the road of antique porcelain research, he has worked hard for decades.

In the eyes of others, it is boring, poor and hard work, but he has been doing it for more than forty years.

In order to develop a formula, he often conducts experiments dozens and hundreds of times in the laboratory, and burns dozens and hundreds of times in the kiln.

In the past half a century, in order to find out the types and proportions of clay, glaze, and materials needed to make ancient porcelain, he has completely lost count of how many times he slept in the laboratory and kiln mouth when he was undressing.

According to the normal routine, even if Chen Wenzhe has a complete production process of Yuan blue and white, it will take a lot of time for him to try out the formula of mud, glaze and materials for firing Yuan blue and white.

After all, every time you adjust the formula, you need to try it once.

And it takes a few days to burn the kiln once, and if it is done a few more times, it will take several months.

Well now, Chen Wenzhe can get almost any formula he wants as long as he searches inside the Pearl of Suihou.

Not to mention the value of these formulas, but the time saved for him is priceless.

This is cheating, but it's always fun to cheat all the time!
By this time, Chen Wenzhe's mind had become very agile.

His foundation has already been laid, as long as a few small joints are opened up, he can directly start firing high-quality Yuan blue and white flowers.

In this case, how could he bear it.

You know, since he was able to learn so many secret recipes from Master Huang, does the other antique masters also have unique skills?
Jingzhen is famous for making antique porcelain masters, and he knows at least ten of them.

For example, there is another one among them, who is comparable to Huang Lao, and he is Master Keqin Tang Rao Keqin.

He is also definitely a leading figure in the field of blue and white flowers in Jingzhen, and he has dedicated his whole life to blue and white flowers in Yuan Dynasty.

In 1981, he participated in the leading group of copying Yuan blue and white flowers, and was the earliest pioneer in copying Yuan blue and white flowers in China.

He is proficient in his work, and his copied Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white jar was collected by Shendu Forbidden City and Christie's.

This kind of craftsmanship, if it is someone else, just learn any one, and you can become famous and eat for a lifetime.

And now Chen Wenzhe is doing it for his hobbies. He is learning the skills of these masters, not fighting these masters to grab a bite to eat.

He is purely for art, for his own hobbies.

He just likes to look at his collection, one by one, one by one, increasing slowly and continuously.

Therefore, he planned to learn all the craftsmanship of the top ten antique porcelain masters in Jingzhen.

According to the inaccurate ranking method, the third place is Master Li Sheng of Juhetang.

Generally such masters come from a family of porcelain makers.

Like this one, his ancestors began to make porcelain in Jingzhen during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

When he arrived in Tongzhi, his grandpa Zeng founded Wubentang, which owned more than ten firewood kilns and was one of the few large kiln households in the town.

He has been making porcelain for more than 30 years, and he is best at official kiln famille rose craftsmanship, and has reproduced countless treasures handed down from generation to generation.

Pastel is no worse than Yuan blue and white, especially in the market, pastel porcelain is more active than Yuan blue and white, after all, there are too few Yuan blue and white.

If you really think about it, even the perfectly refired Yuan blue and white porcelain is not as good-looking as the pastel porcelain.

What is sold now is an eyeball economy. In this regard, pastel porcelain has an advantage over Yuan blue and white porcelain.
