In fact, strictly speaking, there are still many theories about this aromatherapy furnace.

Although Xiao Zhang himself has fired an aromatherapy furnace, strictly speaking, well......

An incense burner and an aromatherapy burner are two different things......

Before Xiao Zhang, he fired Ru porcelain, azure glazed lotus buttons, and the four dragon title ring incense burners......

Many times, many people always have difficulty distinguishing between incense burners and aromatherapy, and the price difference between the two is very large. Generally speaking, the price of incense burners is much higher than that of aromatherapy.

Why is the price of the incense burner higher than that of the incense burner? This also starts from the difference between the two, the incense burner and the incense burner are used to burn incense, the meaning of the two is crossed, but the incense burner has more of a religious and sacrificial meaning, and the incense burner is the incense for personal or family use, and it is naturally inferior to the production of religion and sacrifice, so the price is naturally lower than that of the incense burner.

The incense burner is mainly seen more in some temples, such as the incense burner in the temple, which we call burning high incense......

This is the meaning of what is called religion and sacrifice......

Whether it is the ancient Chinese scholar class or the Western aristocratic class, they are quite obsessed with incense, especially Westerners, because the ancient Westerners did not invent papyrus, they can only use wood or leaves to wipe their buttocks after going to the toilet, and their body odor is too heavy, so they have to use incense or perfume to whitewash their own smell.

Compared with the practicality of Westerners, the incense of the ancient Chinese scholars is much more noble, the ancient Chinese believed that incense is the only thing that can reach the heavens, in order to communicate with people and heaven, the Chinese people like to burn incense, this kind of incense burning activities are mainly sacrificial and religious nature.

In parallel with this need, the other purpose of incense is to purify the mind and assist in spiritual practice.

Incense not only refreshes the mind and relieves fatigue, but also boosts underlying immunity.

For busy and tired modern people, incense can also play a role in hypnosis, which can be used to treat depression and improve sleep quality.

The effect of incense is too great, and it is recommended that everyone have an aromatherapy burner, burn incense once a week, and meditate with meditation, which will definitely help improve the quality of life and work, and also make yourself and your family happier.

Moreover, aromatherapy with craft value and material value can be collected, and can be passed on to future generations in the future.

Of course, this kind of aromatherapy stove fired by Xiao Zhang and Cao Jiuge is relatively expensive......

One is that the shape is more exquisite, the second is Ru porcelain firing, and the third is pure handmade!

Many modern aromatherapy ovens made of copper cost only a few tens of dollars...... It's all made by a mold machine......

Therefore, different materials and different craftsmanship also determine this different value......

These craftsmen are competing here for the potential value of the craft and the work!

Because these handmade high-end material aromatherapy ovens are very valuable.

Xiao Zhang remembered that the eleventh place in the auction record list of this aromatherapy oven was a porcelain aromatherapy furnace.

It was an eagle-shaped aromatherapy furnace of Longquan kiln in the early Ming Dynasty.

In the 2014 Beijing Kuangshi Autumn Art Auction porcelain handicrafts special sale sold for 1,495,000 RMB......

Of course, some of the other materials are jade, copper enamel, and ebony...... It's all worth a lot of money......

The top few most expensive are all cloisonné enamel diffuser ovens......

Among them, the first place with the highest value is a silver cloisonné enamel incense burner in the late Ming Dynasty.

Coincidentally, it was also sold at this auction in Kuangshi, Beijing...... This aromatherapy burner is the opening of the 2017 Autumn Auction in Beijing Kuangshi - porcelain crafts night show.

At that time, the price was a sky-high price of 6,900,000 RMB!

At present, it is also the highest price in the aromatherapy stove market!

So Xiao Zhang also put a lot of thought into the aromatherapy stove......

But Xiao Zhang is also gradually discovering an interesting thing......

This cloisonné enamel technique is a very interesting technique......

It's a pity that the current Xiao Zhang hasn't come into contact with ......

And the system did not impart this knowledge to Xiao Zhang.

It seems that we can only wait for the opportunity in the future.

Xiao Zhang looked at Cao Jiuge beside him, still continuing to refine the incense burner in his hand.

Xiao Zhang also looked at Cao Jiuge's previous work.

That is, Cao Jiuge's fourth work.

This work is more or less related to Xiao Zhang's fourth work......

Because Xiao Zhang's paperweight belongs to the small five of the four treasures of the study......

And Cao Jiuge's piece should be regarded as Xiaoliu......

It's a pen wash......

Pen wash is a kind of traditional handicrafts, belongs to the four treasures of the study pen, ink, paper, inkstone other than a kind of study utensils, is used to hold water wash pen utensils, to the shape of well-behaved, variety, elegant and exquisite and widely favored, handed down in the pen wash, there are many art treasures.

There are many textures of pen washes, including porcelain, jade, agate, enamel, ivory and rhino horn, etc., which are basically precious materials, of course, among all kinds of pen washes, the most common is porcelain brush wash.

All kinds of pen washes are not only colorful in shape, full of interest, but also exquisite craftsmanship, vivid image, as a copywriting sketch, not only practical, but also can be pleasant and nourishing, cultivating sentiment.

Ancient shells, jade production, the Song Dynasty has an elegant porcelain pen wash came out, the Ming Dynasty also used copper to make a small spoon for pen washing, the past dynasties are mostly made of jade, pottery, etc., more colorful.

The type is mostly flat and round, blue and white porcelain is more, and it is decorated with various floral patterns, which is very simple, elegant and solemn.

Such as imitation of the official glaze peach wash, the Qing Yongzheng Qianlong two dynasties imitation Song Dynasty official glaze is extremely successful, the glaze is diverse, moist and thick.

Such as imitation brother glaze leaf washing, Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen imitated the Song Dynasty Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, Jun and other famous kiln works are very successful.

The vermilion, pink and blue, gray and blue glaze in the kiln are all imitated.

The shapes are mostly Kwai mouth bowls, Cong bottles, pen holders, pen washes, pen holders and other tools.

Cao Jiuge's piece is a kind of brush wash that is relatively rare in shape.

The shape of the conventional pen wash is based on the bowl and bowl, and there are other rectangular washes, jade ring washes, etc.

And Cao Jiuge's pen wash resembles a melon and fruit, skimming the mouth, the abdomen is decorated with four peacock heads, the neck is slender, the feet are circled, and the overall mud tire type is presented in this way, it can be seen that this should be called a peacock head lotus pen wash......

It can be seen that it is Cao Jiuge's typical style.

A plain pen wash......

Its position in the Four Treasures of the Study Room is a little lower than Xiao Zhang's paperweight.

But he was forced to be made by Cao Jiuge......

Xiao Zhang found that Cao Jiuge was very interested in patterns such as lotus flowers and lotus flowers and beast heads such as phoenixes and peacocks......

Almost a large number of his Ru porcelain works exist!
