Chapter 354 Pleasing to the Eyes (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

For a pair of roughly identical bottles, one failed and the other succeeded.

The same temperature, the same kiln technology, it is impossible to produce such a big change because of the temperature, so the only possibility is the red glaze formula.

For this firing, Chen Wenzhe mainly conducted experiments, so the formula used for each piece of porcelain, even the location in the kiln, and the method of controlling the temperature are all different.

Now that the results have been produced, according to his ideal plan, which is the firing method of the first kiln, the direct firing is successful.

But the second kiln failed, and the third kiln would not be too optimistic.

Sure enough, the openings of kilns were opened one after another to check, and after a few casual glances, it was known that all of them had failed.

Not to mention the two pieces that were fired together with red and blue mixed together, he didn't have a suitable recipe, so even if he had master-level temperature control technology, it would be useless to do so.

In two of them, the upper and lower dragons were entangled with each other, and the separation was not so straightforward, so they failed.

The other one, winding left and right, at the boundary, no matter if it is blue and white hair color or red glaze hair color, it will not work.

After burning six pieces, it became one piece, which made Chen Wenzhe a little disappointed.

However, if he can successfully burn one piece according to his idea, he can successfully burn countless pieces according to this method.

Unfortunately, this is not without flaws, that is, if he opens a kiln, he can only fire one piece, otherwise, his temperature control technology will not be good.

"The quantity can't go up all the time. No wonder the blue and white underglaze red has been so scarce in the past dynasties."

Shaking his head, Chen Wenzhe used his imagination and began to create again.

He believes in evil, so the works made this time are all separated by blue and red glazes.

As long as the blue and white glaze is slightly separated from the red glaze, it can be fired successfully.

Since the success rate is guaranteed, there is no need for Chen Wenzhe to burn all of them into elephant leg bottles.

Previously, the elephant-legged bottle was fired, one because of its large size, and the other because it was simple to make.

In fact, he was wrong. The elephant leg bottle is [-] centimeters high, but only [-] centimeters in diameter. It is still a bit difficult to completely separate two dragons wrapped around such a bottle.

Therefore, this time Chen Wenzhe only made one piece, and the others were either made into plates or big pots.

It is easier for such two dragons to stretch out their bodies, and they do not interfere with each other.

After entering the kiln, Chen Wenzhe carefully controlled the temperature. After passing the warning point, he felt that there would be no problem, so he set the next firing temperature and left it alone.

After working for two days in a row, he was still a bit tired, but he was also quite rewarded.

Combing the harvest of these two days, Chen Wenzhe is very clear that from the perspective of firing technology, in order to obtain good underglaze red and blue and white colors, each needs to be fired under a specific firing system.

In order to fire the two pigments under a unified firing system, it is necessary to find the underglaze red formula and blue and white formula fired under the same system.

The method Chen Wenzhe is using now is not his original creation.

In this world, nothing can stand being serious, as long as you are serious, you can do anything.

The method he used was actually thoroughly researched in the 90s.

In the 90s, some masters could succeed in firing blue and white underglaze red porcelain in a firewood kiln.

However, skilled kiln masters are still required to master the atmosphere of the kiln, and mass production is not possible.

And using modern testing methods to fire blue and white underglaze red porcelain with gas was also a project completed in the 90s by an expert scientific research team, and it could only be produced in small batches.

Compared with firewood kiln firing and trial-and-error firing using testing methods, Chen Wenzhe's success rate is relatively high.

However, he can only produce in small batches, so the price of blue and white glazed red porcelain will remain high in the future.

After resting all night, Chen Wenzhe didn't get up until eight o'clock the next day, because at this time, he could open the kiln again.

In fact, what he is looking forward to most is the peony vase. Using the blue and white underglaze red technique, a picture of rich and noble peonies is fired, which must be very beautiful.

However, limited to technology, Chen Wenzhe played a little clever this time.

A gas kiln was opened to reveal two plates.

The blue and white hair color along the outer edge is rich and colorful, and the inner branches across the wall are carrying peony flowers, emitting a rich red light.

Seeing this result, Chen Wenzhe knew that his idea had come true.

Blue and white glaze was applied on the outside of the plate, and the technique of crossing the wall branches was used on the inside to get the peony flowers inside the plate. In this way, the green leaves on the outside and the red flowers on the inside are separated, which is suitable for him to control the temperature, so the firing can be successful.

It's a pity that this is still a trick, not a real blue and white underglaze red.

Firing in this way is just to see if it can be fired in large quantities, and now Chen Wenzhe is considered a success.

At the very least, he didn't let all the copper ions evaporate. He has successfully realized the underglaze red. However, he still needs to explore the formula for firing blue and white and underglaze red at the same time.

Now, according to his firing method, as long as the temperature of the upper and lower parts is controlled, the blue and white glaze and red glaze can be perfectly colored. The most important thing is that it can be fired in large quantities.

Sighing, he opened the second gas kiln, where peony and plum vases were fired.

He still adopted a tricky method. The two peonies are both slanted peonies, and the branches and leaves are separated from the flowers as much as possible.

The two peonies are all tilted in the same direction, which just divides a plum vase into four parts, with peony branches and leaves facing each other on two sides, and bright red peony flowers on the other two sides.

This time the firing was successful, and the two plum vases were very beautiful.

The blue and red colors set off each other, making the peony look extraordinarily delicate and pleasing to the eye.

Blue and white underglaze red art porcelain, the harmony and unity of elegance and gorgeousness is vividly expressed here.

Especially the peonies on it, with blue leaves and red flowers, are graceful and luxurious, with a national beauty and heavenly fragrance.

"Finally got a pair of satisfactory works!"

I just got a little happy here, and opened the third gas kiln again, but what appeared inside was a scrapped large tank.

Next, three times in a row, they were all waste products.

Two large cans and two large bowls were all scrapped.

"It's still necessary to separate red and blue!"

This time, Chen Wenzhe had completely recognized the reality.

If there is no accurate formula, the red and blue glazes cannot be successfully fired at the same place.

"I still have to look for a blue and white underglaze red. As long as I get the formula, there is no limit."

The tonal proportion of true blue and white underglaze red has wide variability.

Whether it is thick and light, or realistic and freehand, they all have profound artistic conception and exquisite workmanship, which cannot be compared with Chen Wenzhe's current works that are clever.

Mainly, red and blue cannot be displayed on the same plane, which limits the visual impact caused by the contrast between red and blue.

"Better than the top, more than the bottom!"

Compared with the real top blue and white underglaze red works, his works are far behind.

However, compared with those blue and white glazed red porcelains seen on the Internet, Chen Wenzhe laughed.

The red glaze hair color of those porcelains can't be compared with the porcelains he made.
