Chapter 1274

There are many types of filigree inlay products, which can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first category is jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, tie cards, collar flowers, etc.;

The second category is the display category, mainly interior decoration items, such as small hanging screens, vases, stoves, smokers, buildings, various shapes of animals, etc.;
The third category is the practical category, mainly small and medium-sized products, such as flat mirrors, cigarette cases, ashtrays, powder boxes, sugar bowls, medicine boxes, lampstands, wine sets, tureen bowls, toothpick boxes, knives, etc.

Many of the masters who produced these works are modern people.

For example, outstanding figures who appeared after liberation, such as Zhang Guanghe, Wang Jinao, Bi Shangbin, etc., are all filigree experts.

With so many experts, there are naturally many works produced.

The most important thing is that if you have a factory, you can cooperate.

So now there are quite a few very famous works, such as "Tiananmen", "Nine Dragon Wall", "Yangtze River Bridge", "Corner Tower of the Forbidden City", "Grasshopper Basket", "Filigree Monument", which are woven with gold and silver threads. "Dragon and phoenix insert plate" and so on are all fine works of filigree inlay technology, which are very eye-catching.

These exquisite handicrafts are brilliant in gold and exquisite in craftsmanship, giving people a sense of chic and opulence.

Looking at each piece of modern handicraft, Chen Wenzhe was sometimes a little dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

These things are all modern handicrafts, not antiques.

However, when it comes to value, many of them are far more valuable than some official kiln wares.

For example, a Ginza dragon palace lantern made in 1956, with square hollow silver filigree, dragon mouth Diao Palace lantern, dragon plate flagpole, exquisite, quaint, beautiful and generous.

When this work was exhibited in England, it received wide acclaim.

There is also a master of filigree inlay, Cheng Shumei imitated the Ming Wanli gold silk wing crown, so let’s not say more, if it can be imitated, it is a treasure.

These treasures are all the works of old artists who have been engaged in filigree crafts for more than 60 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

They not only have superb technology, but also accumulated rich experience.

That's why the works made can reach the handed down level!
Among them, the classic "Fengming Bell" is a filigree inlaid product with the theme of traditional auspicious patterns in my country.

In terms of design, the golden clock represents the sun, and the precious lapis lazuli is used to make auspicious clouds to support the sun, and a golden phoenix sings in the sky. The image is colorful and vivid.

In terms of production, the whole body of the phoenix is ​​woven out of hair-thin gold and platinum using a combination of filigree and inlay techniques.

If this is craftsmanship, then the crested head and feathers are luxurious.

On one crested head alone, there are 18 red and emeralds and 88 diamonds.

The feathers are inlaid with 110 diamonds, and the tail of the phoenix is ​​inlaid with 9 red and emerald gems.

The whole work is shining with golden light and shining with precious stones. It skillfully combines art appreciation with practical life. It is definitely a beautiful workmanship.

In addition to such a boutique, there are many other modern handicrafts of this level.

For example, in September 1985, at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition, the exhibited treasure "Descendants of the Dragon" conquered the audience with its unique artistic charm.

A giant dragon and five children on the dragon body are all made of 5K gold.

The body of the dragon is inlaid with more than 1600 gemstones of various colors, and each gemstone is firmly supported and connected together by a small gold bowl.

The fireball spit out by the flying dragon was inlaid with pieces of rubies.

Just for this fireball, more than 200 gems were used.

The colored ribbons worn by children are made of filigree.

Under the dragon are colorful auspicious clouds and golden ribbons fluttering in the wind, which is truly lifelike.

"Descendants of the Dragon" is based on amethyst raw stone, which is integrated with the whole work, showing the Chinese nation and the contemporary descendants of Yan and Huang who are soaring and upward.

The composition and shape of this work are vivid and can be called a masterpiece.

In fact, we should often hear such top crafts in our lives.

Although I can't get in touch, but I have heard and seen it, it is really not a problem.

It's just that, even if many people have seen it, they just marvel at its beauty, and they don't know what kind of craftsmanship it is made of.

Like the golden armor worn by Chow Yun-fat and Jay Chou in the 2006 film "The Golden Armor in the City".

There is also Gong Li's headdress, which was made by the same master with filigree inlay technology.

In 2000, senior arts and crafts artists Zhao Chunming and Gu Weiping reproduced the crown and phoenix crown of the Ming Dingling Mausoleum again and displayed them in the Ming Tombs Museum.

In 2005, senior arts and crafts artists Zhu Yuguang and Feng Guosheng, who are known as modern ninth-grade craftsmen, successfully copied the "Jin Ou Yonggu with Gold Inlaid Treasure" cup in Qianlong of Qing Dynasty.

The essence of its craftsmanship was affirmed by the director of the Cultural Relics and Science and Technology Department of the Palace Museum at that time, and decided to display it in the Palace Museum.

In September of the same year, when the "Jin Ou Yonggu" cup made by artists was displayed in front of people in Shufangzhai of the Forbidden City, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

People are all admiring its exquisiteness and the exquisite craftsmanship that emerges from it.

This cup is not an insider, and few people have heard of it.

But as long as you see it, you will be shocked by its luxurious appearance.

Jin'ou Yonggu Cup generally refers to the Jin'ou Yonggu Cup with gold inlaid treasures in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

The Jin Ou Yonggu Cup with Gold Inlaid Treasures in Qianlong Period of Qing Dynasty was a gold vessel of the Forbidden City during the Qianlong Period of Qing Dynasty. There are 4 cups in total.

Two of them are made of gold, one of which is made of gold and copper, and the other is made of gold in the early years of Jiaqing.

The one now in the Palace Museum is a gold coin made in the second year of Jiaqing.

One gold coin hidden in the Wanwan Palace Museum was made in the year of Qianlong.

A gold cup and a gilt copper cup hidden in the Wallace Museum in England were made in the reign of Qianlong.

These cups are very legendary and can even be connected with our country's national fortune.

Their birth and separation is a modern history of our country.

In November of the fourth year of Qianlong (1739), Emperor Qianlong decreed that the manufacturing office should be equipped with a gold cup.

Its name is Jin Ou Yonggu, and various clear instructions have been given on the shape, pattern, embedded jewelry and Diancui.

In the fifth year of Qianlong (1740), Emperor Qianlong issued an edict to make two more Jinou Yonggu cups, and put forward new requirements.

One big bead is placed on each of the ears of Kuilong, five beads are placed on each side of the two sides, and the middle one is bigger and the flower head should be round.

In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Qianlong remade the Jinou Yonggu Cup due to the damage of the Qianlong gold inlaid treasure in the Qing Dynasty.

According to the archives and documents that have been found, four "Jin Ou Yonggu" cups were made during the Qianlong period, one in the fourth year of Qianlong, two in the fifth year of Qianlong, and one in the second year of Jiaqing.

In 1860, Colonel Du Pan of the French Army looted the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup (1 gold and 1 gold-plated copper) from the Yuanmingyuan in the Qing Dynasty.

In 1872, Wallace bought the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup (1 gold and 1 gold-plated copper) in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty at an auction in England.
