Chapter 1539 Unconventional and Unique

Who doesn't like something beautiful and gorgeous?
There must be people who like elegant and plain white.

Not to mention other people, but Chen Wenzhe, every time he sees those beautiful and exquisite dinner plates, he can't help but stop.

Seeing such a rich and magnificent plate, he will definitely marvel at the fact that flowers bloom not only in the forest, but also on the plate.

How do these beautiful dinner plates transform into a beautifully designed dinner plate?

Of course Chen Wenzhe was curious, so with the help of some fine and famous porcelains, he saw their production process.

As long as it is a famous brand, especially the works of some modern masters, it is not easy.

For this level of work, each piece of intricately decorated plate requires several craftsmen to invest up to 36 hours of work to make one piece.

Therefore, from the beginning to the completion, it takes more than three days of creation time.

So what did the master craftsmen do during the creation time that took more than three days?

It is still very technically difficult to make a large plate, especially a large plate used abroad.

The first is to use the over-spinning method, which is to place a long strip of clay on a rotating model and mold it into the front of the plate.

Combined with a section prototype that forms the back of the plate, excess clay was removed.

The second is to use a sponge to absorb water, repair some seam marks produced during the filling process, and cut off excess clay.

Just use a sponge to absorb the surface moisture and smooth it with your hands, and the work is ready to be fired.

Compared with domestic porcelain, it is as simple as a large plate made by foreign masters.

After making a large plate, it is glazed and baked.

Once fired, a fine mist glaze is first sprayed onto the work.

Before firing again, excess glaze is wiped off the bottom of the work.

If it is a white work, it is considered complete at this stage.

After burning this time, it is the pattern decoration.

Don't think about the so-called famous porcelain produced by ordinary companies, they are all hand-operated high-quality porcelain.

After all, the speed of doing so is too slow and the output is limited.

Therefore, some techniques that can increase production are all used.

For example, the decoration of patterns, is there anything simpler than the printing process?
Foreign famous brand dinner plates must be obtained by this process.

And the printing designs they use are divided into two types.

One is to use your hands to paint it finely stroke by stroke.

The other is to carefully transfer the printed pattern before the second firing.

Of course, foreign porcelain, especially expensive porcelain, also has some merits.

Otherwise, how can people recognize its value and buy it willingly?
And this kind of recognition is embodied in the later processing, such as relief and glazing.

Of course, this further decoration is done by hand.

This time, some factors that can reflect the high price of porcelain must be used.

For example, gold, first put the liquid gold carefully on the surface of the bad body to form a layer of relief.

Different colors can then be added to create glazed patterns.

After everything is done, that is, after the last step of firing, there is another process, which is selection, or screening!
Check the finished works and only select the flawless ones for shipment.

After such six complicated steps, it can be shaped into a colorful and moving dinner plate.

As long as you work hard, the finished product is harder and less likely to break than ordinary porcelain, and has good heat retention and light transmission, as well as aesthetics and practical value.

Now that we are talking about Xuande Dapan, Chen Wenzhe doesn't mind making a few.

After all, the materials are all ready-made, and in his factory, the most indispensable thing is the embryos for making plates.

The craftsmen who were able to come before Chen Wenzhe were all masters, and the embryos they made were fairly easy to use.

With a large number of embryos of various colors, it is convenient to do anything.

It can be said that if you want to do something, after a little trimming, you can get a dry embryo that satisfies Chen Wenzhe.

After that, it is good to classify and make according to the decoration and glaze color.

Therefore, it is very convenient to make some dragon pattern wares by the way when making Xuande peony patterns.

The blue and white cloud and dragon patterns on the yellow ground are still very beautiful.

Well, the fighting colors in the Xuande period can be regarded as a major feature.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe imitated a Ming Dynasty Xuande bucket color mandarin duck and lotus pond plate!
The plate has a diameter of 21.5 cm, a foot diameter of 13.3 cm and a height of 4.2 cm.

The mouth is skimmed, the wall is curved, the short feet are slightly restrained, and the center of the bottom is slightly concave.

Neikou follows the Tibetan auspicious scriptures in the blue and white book for a week, the general meaning of which is: "Peace in the day and peace in the night, peace in the day and noon, peace in the day and night for a long time, the three treasures bless you in peace and peace."

It can be said that it is unconventional to use Tibetan religious greetings as decorations on porcelain.

Panxin painted three groups of red lotuses in the boneless way, interspersed with reeds, Polygonum sylvestris, Sagittarius, duckweed, etc.

The mandarin ducks are hooked in blue and white, and the feathers are painted in red, purple and yellow.

Four groups of red lotuses are painted on the outer wall and are decorated with two pairs of Polygonum rhizome, Cigu, and Mandarin ducks interspersed with each other.

For Chen Wenzhe, making such fighting color porcelain is very simple.

He has a variety of qualified glazes. First, he makes the underglaze color, and after the firing is successful, he adds the overglaze color on top of the underglaze color.

Fire it in the kiln again, and a piece of exquisite fighting color porcelain will be perfectly presented in front of your eyes.

"There are quite a lot of good things in the Xuande period, let's make another one!"

After making a batch of doucai porcelain, Chen Wenzhe thought of a unique bowl.

Xuande red-glazed golden bell bowl in Ming Dynasty, the red glaze is originally a fine product of Xuande, especially ruby ​​red glazed porcelain, not to mention this is a golden bell bowl.

The diameter of this bowl is 13.5 cm, the foot diameter is 8.1 cm, and the height is 10.4 cm.

The real one was unearthed in the Xuande Formation of Mount Zhu in 1993. It has a wide mouth, deep abdomen, arc walls, and shallow ring feet.

The whole body is covered with red glaze, without ornamentation, and the inside of the foot is covered with white glaze. The heart of the bowl is inscribed with "Daming Xuande year-made style" six-character double-line double-circle style.

The shape of the Jinzhong bowl porcelain is very attractive, and it feels very comfortable at first glance.

This kind of porcelain shape worthy of collection, most people don't know that it is a golden bell bowl when they see it.

my country's porcelain has a long history, but exquisite porcelain shapes are rare, and naturally there are few attractive ones.

For those who don't know how to appreciate aesthetics, many people like this kind of golden bell bowl porcelain shape when they see it, and they can also see its uniqueness from now on.

The origin of the shape of Jinzhong bowl porcelain should be in the Ming Dynasty!

To be precise, the porcelain shape of the golden bell bowl originated in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

The Xuande official kiln clearly produced this golden bell bowl shape.

However, bowls such as Jinzhong bowls were only fired in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was rare to see official kilns firing porcelain of this shape.
