Chapter 667 One Pot Shape, Ever-changing
Looking at Chen Wenzhe, Chen Xingchen smiled wryly, is this endless?
It's fine to hit once or twice, why are you still hitting endlessly?

Chen Wenzhe could only keep shouting in his heart: I'm really not floating!
You must know that this mitral pot is known as one of the most difficult porcelains to make in the past dynasties.

Of course, the mitral teapot made of purple sand will not be simple.

Among all porcelain productions, mitral teapots are the most difficult to produce, which is the life pursuit and goal of outstanding craftsmen of all ages.

According to historical records, mitral teapots first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and according to some research data, the production of mitral teapots should have started in the Song Dynasty, and the production of mitral teapots began in the Northern Song Dynasty official kilns.

Later, the Yuan Dynasty also fired, but due to the difficulty of making, the number was not large.

In the early Ming Dynasty, with the increase of national power, Jingzhen fired more blue and white monk hat pots.

Later, with a large number of porcelain craftsmen, after transferring to the production of purple clay wares, this shape was also transplanted to purple sand pots.

This kind of teapot got its name because the spout is shaped like a monk's hat.

It is shaped like an upturned mouth, low front and high rear, duckbill-shaped flow.

The lid of the pot lies on the edge of the mouth, the neck is tied, the abdomen is bulged, the foot is ringed, and the handle is cranked, which has a strong ethnic minority style.

Although this kind of mitral pot is difficult to make, the more difficult it is to make, the more masters of pot making in the past dynasties will be able to make some.

Everyone wants to do one thing, and they are all different, so there is one pot shape, which is ever-changing!

The shape of the yuan vessel is solid, the neck of the pot is thicker, and the flow of the pot is slightly shorter.

The Ming vessel has a slightly longer flow, the Qing vessel has a slightly higher neck, and a slightly thinner abdomen.

This kind of teapot has blue and white glaze, red glaze, blue glaze, white glaze, five colors, bucket color, enamel color, enamel color and so on.

Although there are many varieties, there are really not many handed down.

The reason why Chen Wenzhe knew it was because of a painting.

The fourth picture in the "Picture of Beauty" in the old collection of the Qing Palace is "Picture of Concubine Yinzhen's Pleasure", also known as "Picture of Bogu's Meditation".

In the picture, the lady sits on a bamboo chair, looking down and meditating.

The background is a cabinet-style Duobaoge, inside the Duobaoge, Ru kiln narcissus basin and three-legged washing machine in the Northern Song Dynasty.

And behind the beautiful woman, most of the Ru kiln flower-shaped cup holder and the Shang and Zhou bronze goblets are revealed.

In addition, you can also see Ming Xuande gemstone red glaze monk hat pot, jade carved red sandalwood screens are patchwork and complement each other, with a typical royal style of wealth and nobility.

As can be seen from the picture, for safety reasons, the monk's cap pot is placed halfway on the shelf for stability.

It was a ruby ​​red mitral pot, which was clearly drawn in the picture.

All kinds of signs are enough to prove that the ancients loved the ruby ​​red mitral pot, and its preciousness can be imagined.

You know, that's in the royal family, in the palace.

That is to say, the ruby ​​red glaze mitral pot is very precious even if it is in the royal family.

The shape of the mitral pot is straight and dignified, the lines are strong, and the craftsmanship is extremely difficult, which is beyond the reach of ordinary craftsmen.

Whether it can make exquisite mitral pots can also show the level of craftsmen's attainments.

This is also a self-challenge for craftsmen, especially the processing of square mitral pots is even more difficult.

Only first-class craftsmen can do it.

And what appeared in front of everyone now was a square mitral pot.

Don't look at what Chen Wenzhe did just now, it seems to be very simple and fast, but the craftsmanship is very difficult.

The square pot, as the name suggests, is square in shape, and the top of the pot is shaped like a monk's hat.

These are all formed by forming pieces of mud pieces one by one.

Of course, there are also some difficulties in mixing mud and practicing mud, but the most difficult thing is tire connection and shaping.

Therefore, regardless of ancient and modern times, there are not many mitral pots that can survive.

Of course, there are still a certain number of mitral pots among the people.

Because the quantity produced in Xuande and Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty was relatively more, and the production in other years was less.

What's more, Yixing now produces more purple clay.

However, due to the extremely high requirements for the production process of mitral pots and the difficulty in making them, Jingzhen no longer produced them after Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

Especially now, some famous purple sand celebrities are proud of making mitral teapots, which is enough to explain the problem.

There are many talented pot makers. Except for the late master Gu Jingzhou, who imitated monk hats, many masters and artists dare not make rashly. One can imagine the difficulty of making them.

mitral.The implication is the meaning of rising step by step and good luck, and has always been favored by collectors and pot art lovers.

However, what you see in the market is mostly rough workmanship, which is a rare boutique.

Just because it is difficult to make, as long as it is made, the price is not low.

Even if it is simplified and then simplified, as long as it can be produced and it is said that it is a mitral pot, it can easily sell for thousands of dollars.

If the shape is a little more complicated, or if you can imitate the standard mitral pot of famous artists, the value will be different immediately.

Now on the market, as long as it is a slightly better mitral pot, the value will immediately exceed [-] yuan.

For other porcelain and purple sand, the price increase will certainly not be so exaggerated.

So, this is a challenge, but also an opportunity.

Even now, as long as a mitral hat with better quality is seen in the market, it will be sought after by collectors.

Even if Chen Wenzhe didn't talk about these things, Chen Xingchen and others, as professionals from the Academy of Fine Arts, naturally knew about them.

Therefore, they were dumbfounded when they saw that Chen Wenzhe made a simplified version of the monk's hat pot with ease.

No matter how simple it is, this is still a square mitral pot!
Just keep a small teapot like this, if you don't have seventy or eighty thousand, I'm afraid you can't buy it.

In other words, just because it is a mitral pot, even Chen Wenzhe will benefit from it.

His original teapot could easily sell for [-], but this one can easily sell for [-] to [-].

If the production is more complicated, and with more thought, a square mitral pot can easily exceed the price of [-].

They are all understanding people, so there is no need to say more.

This time, Chen Wenzhe settled down and started making various mitral hats from simple patterns.

There are too many styles of mitral pots, which can be classified simply: small, medium, and large mitral caps, as well as from short mitral caps to wishful mitral caps.

Next, he also produced various Sifang, Liufang, Bafang, and Tiliang monk hats.

These are actually relatively simple, the most difficult of which should be the high-wall monk hat.

Improve your production skills step by step, so that Chen Xingchen and others can learn something.

When making the high-walled monk hat, Chen Wenzhe's speed also slowed down. Even the materials used before had to be changed, and he couldn't make do with it.

This time, he was more serious from the selection of materials.

Since Chen Xingchen and the others mainly focus on purple clay teapots, this time he chose raw ore bottom trough green.

Because this mud does not add any pigment, it is the purest natural purple sand mud.
