My system is not decent

When making porcelain, glaze has always been the most important key point. Not to mention that famille rose involves many colors, it is just a simple blue and white. If the blue and white material is not good enough, can the hair color be seen?

Therefore, it is very difficult to make a piece of famille rose porcelain. The first difficulty is the glaze.

Regardless of the quality of the glaze, even if there is a good glaze, you still need to mix it to achieve a good effect. Finally, the layout is also a key point.

Generally, after the background color of the famille rose porcelain is done, it will be engraved on the "brocade ground" with a tool like a rusty needle to carve extremely small patterns. This is the complete pattern.

Among them, the phoenix tail pattern is the most common and typical.

What Zhang Gu made just now is the simplest pastel goblet with phoenix tail pattern on brocade ground.

Now that Chen Wenzhe is doing it, it is naturally not that simple.

The grilled flower craft is very simple to say, but there are many difficulties in making it, and it is also very big.

First of all, the grilled flowers require extremely high skills of the porcelain maker, because the grilled flowers are used to draw patterns on the half-dried glaze with embroidery needles.

During the production process, drafts cannot be made.

From the beginning to the end, it must be completed in one go. The patterns and patterns must be of the same size and layout, and there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted and irreversible destruction will be caused.

Therefore, the grilled flower craft is an extremely test of the craftsman's technical level and mentality.

Because the grilled flowers are full of decoration, the decoration is small.

For craftsmen, it is a repetitive, boring, and meticulous work.

It is not only a waste of eyes and mind, but also must be focused, mind and hand corresponding, without any chaos.

A small mistake may destroy the beauty of the whole utensil.

For example, which needle is slightly heavier may cause small pieces of glaze to peel off after firing.

For the pickling process, this means total failure.

Among them, you need to have fine carving skills, you need to have a big picture, you need to be able to design, and finally you need to have achievements in painting, knitting, etc.

It can be said that this is a master of basic technology.

If you want to complete a piece of famille rose porcelain, porcelain making, carving, knitting, painting and other skills, you need to design, and you also need the mind, eye and hand. work.

Because of this difficulty, this craft was once close to being lost.

That's why he was so surprised and happy to see Lie Xinxi after seeing Zhang Gu using this technique and making a piece of pastel porcelain with simple decoration and decoration!

It is definitely not easy to know this kind of craftsmanship and still be able to do so smoothly.

Although it has not yet been fired in the kiln, Chen Wenzhe knows that there is a possibility of failure in the kiln firing, but it is not big.

Even if the possibility of firing failure is high, if you make more pieces, you will always be able to fire a few pieces successfully.

And as long as there are successful works, they will never lose money.

Chen Wenzhe looked at Zhang Gu with strange eyes, why didn't he show this ability?

No matter how simple the famille rose porcelain is, it is also a wonderful flower. As long as the work is not bad, there is absolutely no need to follow him to make a living.

Is it still because of the coloring material?Chen Wenzhe looked at the glaze he prepared.

I don't want to make high imitations, but I just need beautiful porcelain, so it's okay without these glazes, right?

"Who did you learn from?" In the end, Chen Wenzhe couldn't help asking.

Zhang Gu was taken aback, and immediately explained: "My family is from Jingzhen, so I also applied for the Art Academy when I went to school!"

Chen Wenzhe immediately understood, the family has a long history, no wonder he knows so much about the flower cups of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

Since it is a family tradition, it is not too strange to make famille rose porcelain.

"Your family's inheritance? Practice hard, this craft is not easy!" Chen Wenzhe reminded.

Zhang Gu shook his head directly: "I only learned a little superficially. I learned by myself by reading books. No one in my family has been involved in the work of porcelain for decades."

Chen Wenzhe is a little helpless, this is the situation of various skills in modern times, and they are all facing the risk of being lost.

Just looking at Zhang Gu's current craftsmanship, he knows that his family's inheritance must not be simple, but such a craftsmanship has been lost for decades.

Zhang Gu was able to learn the craft of making pastel porcelain by himself. He must have put a lot of effort into it, and his talent must be very good.

"Except for a few masters in China, there are not many people who can do this craft well. You can focus on practicing, and you may become a master in this area." Chen Wenzhe reminded again.

"I have no money. If you want to learn this kind of craft, you must have money, so let's make some money first!"

Zhang Gu smiled wryly, he had to spend money to practice this kind of skill, not to mention anything else, but how much would a copy of the materials he was using cost?

The most important thing is that the success rate of making this kind of porcelain is really too low. Even if his family has a small fortune, it can't afford him to spend so much money.

This is the reason why this craft is facing extinction.

Chen Wenzhe also knows this, firing this kind of porcelain really requires resources, even capital or national strength.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the Qing Dynasty. Except for the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, starting from Emperor Jiaqing, the national power declined. After Xianfeng, there was no pastel rolling porcelain fired, so that the craft of peeling flowers has been lost for more than 100 years!

This is a country. Because of its weak national strength, this kind of porcelain cannot be fired. What about individuals?

Up to now, due to the complexity of making flower-picking crafts, it is impossible to master this craft without years of art skills and solid craftsmanship.

Therefore, there are very few artists who have learned and become teachers in the younger generation, resulting in the situation that there is no one to inherit the art of pickling flowers.

There are few people who can do it, and there are not many handed down from ancient times, which leads to the continuous increase in the value of the flower-picking craft.

Over the years, famille rose porcelain has been favored by people, and the market price has been rising year by year.

As long as it is valuable, there must be someone to study it, and only when this kind of craft can make money, can someone learn it.

In 2011, the Qing Qianlong light yellow ground foreign color icing on the cake "Longevity and Prolongation" long-necked gourd bottle was sold for more than 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which directly stimulated the market!

Therefore, in recent years, there has been a situation where a hundred flowers are blooming in pastel porcelain.

It's just that making this kind of porcelain can make money, but it has a barrier to entry.

The production process of grilled flower porcelain is very complicated, and the requirements for craftsmanship are extremely high. Ordinary folk kilns and folk artists simply do not have the manpower and financial resources to produce and operate.

This has led to the fact that the treasures of grilled porcelain are hard to find in the market, and the collection value is gradually rising!

"Then let's make some money today and make antique porcelain?"

Chen Wenzhe looked at Zhang Gu, he didn't know if Zhang Gu had moral cleanliness!

Zhang Gu glanced at the high imitation Ru kiln porcelain drying not far away, what more question?

He didn't have the money to practice the unique skills passed down in his family, but now that he has the opportunity, will he not cherish it?

They have all gone abroad now, for what purpose?As long as he can learn some crafts, he can do anything!

Besides, making high imitations doesn't seem to be breaking the law, right?
