Chapter 58: The Zheng Family of Xingyang
A box of porcelain was transported out by workers...
Wang Yi hurried over and picked up the pieces of porcelain to check.
Compared with the porcelain fired in the past, the glaze juice of these baked porcelain is more lustrous, and the body color can be seen through the mouth of the mangrove, rather than the large number of gray-yellow body squashed in the middle. He also picked up two porcelain bowls and knocked on each other, and the sound was crisp and moving.
Needless to say, this porcelain has achieved great success. He said with some regret: "What a pity, there are too many defective products."
Wang Hua was pounding the fragments of the experiment. After hearing Wang Yi's words, he turned around and replied: "This is not a big problem, so I'll find a way to control the temperature in the future."
Originally, one of the biggest features of Ding Kiln was that there were some tear marks. Now, because the temperature is a little higher, not only many porcelains have tear marks, but also have large amounts of tears. The defective products Wang Yi mentioned are these porcelains.
This has a gradual test process. Not only do the temperatures required for various porcelains vary, but the glaze temperature is also very strict. Some, like this time, will be burned with the porcelain body at one time, while others will be burned with high-temperature and low-temperature glaze.
In addition to this, there are many formulas and different techniques for glaze application. According to the melting property and firing temperature of the glaze, it can be divided into meltable glaze (also called soft glaze), medium melt glaze (also called enamel glaze) and refractory glaze (also called hard glaze). According to the manufacturing method, it can be divided into raw glaze, fused glaze and volatile glaze. According to the glaze method, it can be divided into glaze immersion method (soak the glaze into the glaze liquid), glaze pouring method (soak the glaze on the blank), glaze spraying method, dropping method (soak the glaze with a brush and then drop it on the blank), coating method, volatilization method and spreading method, etc. There are also the overglaze color, in-glaze color, and underglaze color involved in decorative patterns.
Anyway, this is a very long road.
If you want to burn good porcelain from all dynasties, of course it is also a copy, especially the three major kiln porcelains of Guan, Ge and Ru. Even if Wang Hua mastered the conditions and techniques in his previous life, he led a large number of workers to imitate them, but they were still similar in shape. They could not really use fakes to distort the real, and in the eyes of insiders, they could still recognize the real at a glance.
Wang Hua also reflected on the cause of this problem. It was definitely not a problem of craftsmanship, but mainly the formula and the "death" of bubbles. Originally, Song porcelain had a special formula, and the bubbles were wrapped in the glaze of porcelain. After a long time, these bubbles disappeared, causing many porcelains to have no illusion of bubbles. This is also an evidence for the antique industry to verify some porcelains in the Song Dynasty.
Wang Hua had no choice but to give up in the end.
In this situation, Wang Hua is not completely retro, and there is no such condition. Therefore, it is mainly imitation and create that flavor.
Seeing his son finishing his words, he was watching the pile of pieces of burning with porcelain into the furnace, Wang Yi also knew. It turned out that this son did not take the porcelain seriously. Success was better, even if he failed, it would be fine. As long as he didn't lose money, it would be successful.
Wang Yi no longer talked to Wang Hua. He led the workers to turn the burned porcelain into several levels. In fact, there were many top-quality porcelains in the middle. Especially this white is not like the dazzling whites of those porcelains before, with yellowish whites and soft colors, just like the warm sun in winter. It gives people a comfortable feeling.
Although it has not been sold yet, Wang Yi also knows that these porcelains will be very expensive in the market.
Of course, he still felt sorry for looking at more defective products. If the probability of defective products is reduced by half, you can imagine the huge profits generated by this porcelain.
Moreover, the existence of this Mangkou must be divided into grades. The best gold plating, the second silver plating, and the other ones can be sold for copper and iron plating, which is really not enough to give it to people. Gongxian Kiln is now the most prosperous period. Because it is close to Luoyang and the development of water transportation is this kind of prosperity, which makes it more difficult to obtain materials, and it began to decline by the end of Tianbao. Some people were not willing to do so, so they innovated. At this time, the original blue and white porcelain appeared in Gongxian Kiln. However, the effect was not significant, and it was finally annihilated again. It was not until the emergence of Yuan blue and white blue and white. A glorious point on this porcelain, blue and white porcelain began to play an important role in the porcelain.
Nowadays, people have the greatest advantage in Tianling Mountain area. They are not widely used in porcelain, but they are all defective products. Every household has a lot of bottles and cans, but they just can't get on the countertop.
Although Wang Yi was regarded as a prodigal son by the villagers, it was not useless. His vision of porcelain still exists. He cannot just use this porcelain as a waste product because he lost too much glaze. Some glaze flows just right, forming a natural pattern, and can also be regarded as a top-notch product.
Therefore, it is necessary to identify one by one.
When he and a few skilled workers finished their work, Wang Hua finished their work.
Wang Hua had to observe the body of each piece of porcelain, sometimes break it, see the knots inside, and even knock them against each other to hear the difference in their sound. This time, the porcelain pieces fired came from hundreds of places. Wang Hua marked the soil on the map, and then marked the porcelain pieces again when firing. Finally, after careful identification, the two soil sources were determined.
This is still a preliminary test. In the future, we need to test the temperature, the more prepared formula for glaze, as well as glaze methods and glaze. What made him most depressed was that for the sake of scientific research, we had to spend a lot of time in the future, and like those students, we should study the meaning of the scriptures hard.
After receiving the tribe members and Xinlian, they sent away the eunuch who issued the order. Wang Hua called Lu Ergou and said some words.
This time Lu Ergou and the others didn't understand, so Wang Hua explained carefully for a while.
Lu Ergou and his men sighed: "It's indeed a clever plan. No wonder you asked us to do that in Luoyang."
Several people took Wang Hua's silver notes in the Luoyang money cabinet and went to Luoyang to withdraw money and do business.
The weather began to get colder, and Qingshangu finally ushered in the first light snow. However, the snow was not heavy, and it stopped after falling down for a while. It turned into cold water and fell into the ground and disappeared.
In this bad weather, Wang Yi also gave the workers on the porcelain kiln a holiday.
He returned home and sat in the fire pit. Wang Hua was reading. Wang Yi did not dare to disturb him. He made a gesture softly, indicating that Sanfeng would make a cup of tea. Wang Hua's mother quietly taught Li Hong needlework, while Gongsun looked at him curiously.
Although it has not returned to the prosperous time of the Wang family, the family is now happy. There is only one exception. The more Wang Hua thinks about the future, the more trouble he is.
Suddenly a guest came.
Two servants were followed behind him, but Wang Yi's face changed drastically when he saw this guest.
Wang Hua looked at this middle-aged man curiously, and he could only be considered a middle-aged man, because he was only about thirty years old. He looked elegant and had a faint smile on his face, but Wang Hua saw the kind of pressure that only those who were superiors had.
He looked at Wang Yi and gave a bow first and said, "At that time, a certain person was young and did something wrong. Please forgive me for your crime."
As he said that, a servant walked out and carried a box with him and two servants in. He said again, "This is twenty pieces of high-quality silk that someone bought from Xingyang, and I apologize for a little."
Wang Hua looked at his father's expression and heard him say these words back then, and he already knew who he was. But when he heard the two words Xingyang, Wang Hua's eyes still narrowed.
Although he had long thought of this possibility, he was the most afraid of this possibility.
The young man turned to Wang Hua and said, "This person is not wrong. He is the famous Wang Erlang. I admire Wang Erlang the most. The general trend of the world is to break up and get back together, and there is no real enemy or friend. I have long wanted to meet you, and I am very happy to get my wish today."
He spoke extremely politely, but there was a cleverness hidden in his voice.
He paused and said, "A few months ago, you didn't become friends with the Wang family in Taiyuan, but now I represent the Zheng family in Xingyang! Instead of a blind outer child in my family, who really extends a hand of friendship to Erlang."
