My system is not decent

Chapter 639 Low-key luxury

Of the six teacups, only two are still in good condition, that's all, and one of them still has a punch on its rim.

In this way, only one is perfect.

Looking at the chipped teacup, it's not serious, and Chen Wenzhe can fix it.

As for the edge of the mouth, there is no need to repair it, and it can be wrapped directly with gold, silver, copper and other materials, and it can even be wrapped beautifully.

As for the cracked ones, porcelain sawing is also a very good craft, especially the saw nails, which are made into loach backs and nailed into porcelain, also have a different kind of beauty.

After looking at these six white porcelain bowls one by one, through the gap, Chen Wenzhe has seen the typical glutinous rice tire inside, which is the characteristic of Dehua white porcelain.

Of course, the most important point is that the whiteness of Dehua white porcelain is also very different.

In fact, when he first saw these white porcelain bowls, Chen Wenzhe thought for a moment that they might be white porcelain from the Ding kiln, or sweet white porcelain from the Yongle Xuande period.

These two types of porcelain are comparable to Dehua white porcelain.

However, just looking at it for a while, Chen Wenzhe thought it was Dehua white porcelain, not the other two.

It is a pity that these porcelain bowls are broken, but through the gap, Chen Wenzhe can see the inner carcass, as well as the glaze layer and the characteristics of the glaze.

Chen Wenzhe has now been fully promoted to the master level for porcelain making techniques.

Even if he can't make Dehua white porcelain, he can make a good guess about the porcelain making process of Dehua white porcelain just by taking a look at it.

The characteristics of Dehua white porcelain are still easy to distinguish, such as the soft and firm fetal bone, commonly known as "glutinous rice fetus", with crystal luster.

The glaze water is also different. The glaze water of Dehua white porcelain is clean and thick, and it is closely combined with the fetal bone to form a seamless body.

The color is also quite special, it can be said to be as warm as jade, clear and smooth.

When the body is illuminated by light, fingers can be seen.

The sound of knocking is clear and melodious, like knocking on metal, clanging.

Its wonderful glaze texture is close to the "five virtues" of jade, and its appearance has caused great repercussions in the porcelain circle.

Many domestic connoisseurs praised: "It seems that there is no opening in the fixed device, it is as creamy as milky white, as light as ivory, as thin as silk and thick as water."

This kind of porcelain is very different from other famous porcelains. Its texture is as creamy as milky white, just like ivory.

To sum up, that is to say, the carcass of Dehua white porcelain is dense, the fetal bone is fine and white, the carcass and glaze are closely combined, the glaze color is pure, and the light transmission is extremely good. Very warm and delicate.

Such characteristics are different from the Dingyao white porcelain and the sweet white porcelain from the Yongxuan period.

Many works on pottery in the Ming and Qing Dynasties often compare Dehua white porcelain with Dingyao white porcelain and sweet white porcelain from the Yongle Xuande period.

Or it is called "Jianzhi Fending", or "Leiyong, Xuanzhi Tianbai".

In fact, compared with Dingyao white porcelain and JDZ sweet white porcelain, Dehua white porcelain not only has different composition of chemical elements in the body glaze, but also has a purer glaze layer on the outside. The body and glaze are tightly combined, and the color is moist and bright. The technology is more mature.

The acquisition of this excellent quality is not only dependent on technology, but a large part is dependent on materials.

It is also because of this that even if Chen Wenzhe's technical level has reached the master level, there are many porcelains that he cannot make.

For example, Dehua white porcelain, sweet white porcelain, Dingyao white porcelain, and even some special porcelain.

There are also Yaozhou kiln celadon and Yue kiln celadon, which are also celadon. When fired, these porcelains also have the same texture as jade, but they are different from Longquan celadon.

Or back to Dehua white porcelain, the successful firing of Dehua white porcelain is closely related to the raw material of porcelain clay, in addition to the porcelain craftsmen at that time being able to properly grasp the flame atmosphere.

Modern research shows that Ding kiln white porcelain is fired with clay with high alumina content, and the clay contains less fluxing substances, so the porcelain body is not dense enough and the light transmittance is poor.

Dehua kiln white porcelain is made of china clay with high silica content.

The china clay is processed very finely, and the content of potassium oxide in the china clay is as high as 6%.

In addition, the porcelain clay contains less impurities such as iron and titanium, and there are more glass phases after firing, so the porcelain body is smooth and dense, as white as jade, and the light transmittance is particularly good.

Due to the fine whiteness of the tire, the pure white glaze with extremely low iron oxide content and extremely high potassium oxide content, and the use of a neutral atmosphere during firing, the glaze color of Dehua kiln white porcelain is particularly pure.

After successful firing, the glaze surface of Dehua white porcelain is crystal clear and bright, milky white like ivory, like creamy frozen jade, so beautiful that it surpasses any white porcelain at any kiln mouth before, and has become the representative of Chinese white porcelain.

As for sweet white porcelain, it is a high whiteness porcelain created by Jingzhen official kiln during the Yongle period of Ming Dynasty on the basis of shufu wares in Yuan Dynasty.

The literature claims that it is "white as fat, plain as snow".

Its tone is quiet and soft, giving people a "sweet" feeling visually, so it is called "sweet white porcelain".

One of the characteristics of Yongle Tianbai porcelain is that the enamel is white, thick as fat, without brown eyes, and sees through the light, and the glaze is flesh red or pink;
Another feature is that there is often a gray-blue luster on the feet and corners of the utensils where the glaze is accumulated.

Occasionally, the glaze surface appears a very light shrimp blue color intertwined with blue, gray and white, which is very strange.

The glaze surface of Xuande white glaze ware is also milky white, the glaze is thicker, and there are dense small orange peel and brown eyes.

In contrast, Dehua white porcelain has a dense body, excellent light transmittance, and a thin glaze layer, but it has a feeling of fat like jade. When it is seen in the light, the color is smooth and bright, crystal clear, and pink or milky white is faintly visible in the glaze. , the glaze layer is even and delicate, smooth and clean, without the dark gray and shrimp green variegated colors that appear in Yong and Xuantian white porcelains, and it is even rarer to have orange peel and brown eyes.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe confirmed that this is Dehua white porcelain, and it is a high-quality product, but I don't know what happened to it, and it turned out to be so miserable!
It is determined that this is Dehua white porcelain, so its age must be determined.

This is more difficult, because this set of teacups did not leave any information that could identify them.

It is also for this reason that when Chen Wenzhe first saw it, he thought it was ordinary porcelain for folk life.

But through the gap, we can see the carcass, enamel, and the special white color produced by its special technology, which makes Chen Wenzhe realize that this is definitely not ordinary porcelain, but contains a low-key porcelain. Luxurious high-end teacup.

It seems unpretentious, but anyone who is knowledgeable knows that anything made by this craft is not ordinary.

Therefore, even if there is no money reserved for this thing, it can be sold for a high price.

Looking at a teacup in his hand, Chen Wenzhe thought, is he going to wipe off the dirt outside?See what its glaze color looks like?
Although it is difficult to identify the age, it is not impossible to identify it.

The whiteness of Dehua white porcelain is different in different ages, and the firing effects are also different.

White is definitely all white, but there are many types of white.
