Chapter 364: The Glaze of Blue and White Porcelain?
The glaze configured by Xiao Zhang is completely in accordance with the proportion of configuration provided by the system and the proportion of material use.
The slightly viscous glaze was placed next to Xiao Zhang at this time.
Xiao Zhang was naturally the first to pick up the big bowl.
First, use a brush dipped in the glaze and gently brush the inside of the bowl.
It must be lightly brushed on.
In fact, this prepared glaze is nothing more than a mixture of various mineral powders and water.
And this water will be absorbed by the mud tires that have dried up.
As a result, the glaze adheres to the mud tire, and when it is completely dry, it can enter the kiln for firing.
That's the whole process.
And the glaze of this blue and white porcelain is not the same as Ru porcelain or Tang Sancai, this is a transparent glaze.
The so-called transparent glaze feels like glass.
After firing, the blue and white porcelain is like a layer of glass, and you can directly see the blue and white patterns painted on the clay tire.
So this is the reason why the glaze of blue and white porcelain is thinner.
Because if it is too thick, it will definitely affect the aesthetic effect.
After all, the vessel is rounded, and the attached layer of glass-like transparent glaze must have a similar visual magnification effect, which must have an impact on the blue and white pattern.
And the innermost intuitive white is the color of the mud tire, and the pattern of blue and white on a white background is authentic.
This is also the attention of the older generation.
So these still need to be paid attention to.
Xiao Zhang quickly brushed the glaze on the inside of the bowl.
Then begin to glaze the inside of the Ruyi jar.
Because the mouth of this wishful jar is very small.
This is the type of ware that is inconvenient to glaze.
Therefore, it is necessary to use the glaze method, put a little glaze in it, shake it gently, so that the inside of the jar can all touch the glaze, and then pour the glaze out.
Then slowly wait for the inner glaze of these two vessels to dry......
The external glazing methods are relatively uniform.
Because these are relatively large vessels.
And just like the previous introduction, the blue and white porcelain clay tires fired by Xiao Zhang are all raw blanks.
Green billets are very fragile and fragile.
It's not like there was a vegetarian burning process before.
Because Xiao Zhang's blue and white porcelain this time is a complete imitation of Jingdezhen's oldest firing method!
Therefore, it was not halfway through the firing like in modern times, and Xiao Zhang's vessel was still very large this time, which made it very difficult to move.
Because this big bowl of Xiao Zhang is carefully moved, for fear that it will be broken accidentally.
This is a big, thin bowl that hasn't been cooked yet...... Whoever puts it in their hands has to be careful, and the cautious can't be cautious.
It took more than a minute for Xiao Zhang to turn the bowl over, and then began to pour the glaze from top to bottom......
The glaze is also a thin layer, so it is good to be able to cover it.
Then drip the excess glaze juice and start to dry in the shade......
Of course, this uneven place needs to be refined in the future.
Xiao Zhang used the same method to glaze the Ruyi jar.
Again, the glaze is poured down from the beginning. Worry-free Chinese network
......
The last piece is a porcelain panel painting!
This one is much easier to glaze.
Although the firing process is very difficult, it is very difficult to make and dry the mud tire, and the green material drawing is also very tiring, but this glazing is the easiest.
Because it's not a vessel, it's like a blank sheet of paper......
Brush and you're done......
Brush a full layer, do not need to consider the difference between the inside and outside glazing, do not need to think about whether the mouth is large or small, whether it is a glaze or a glaze.
Xiao Zhang didn't dare to move the four porcelain plates to paint the clay tires, but stepped forward with glaze and brushes, and began to slowly paint a layer of paint.
After about ten minutes, the clay tires of these three pieces of blue and white porcelain were completely glazed.
"Little doll, I heard Qigong say that your kid's porcelain glaze is a bit of a doorway, isn't it?" Ouyang Feng didn't come to disturb Xiao Zhang before, but now that Xiao Zhang's glazing was completed, he came over and asked.
Xiao Zhang waved his hand again and again and said with a smile: "Old man Ouyang said that he was laughing, Old Man Hong also praised me, how can I have any doorway, just be careful with the glaze haha." ”
"The glaze of this Ru porcelain and Tang Sancai is indeed more colorful and rich than others, but what about this blue and white porcelain? Qigong said that your blue and white porcelain glaze can be invisible, is it true?" asked Ouyang Feng.
This question was confusing to Xiao Zhang.
Can you be invisible?
Hong Lao suddenly stepped forward and smiled: "Don't, I didn't say I could be invisible!"
"Isn't this what you said, this transparent glaze can still be brilliant, then it can only be invisible!" Ouyang Feng said jokingly.
Skin, the old man is real skin.
Li Shizhen's skin!
"Two old men, I really don't know if this can be invisible, but I believe that the glaze of this blue and white porcelain will definitely make your eyes shine, and we will open the kiln in a while, what kind of fire can be made, we will see when we finish burning!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
"Okay, we'll see when this burns tomorrow. Ouyang Feng also nodded.
Almost all the preparations were done, and Xiao Zhang went to lunch with the old men, and after a while the glaze was dry, he could open the kiln and burn porcelain.
......
After eating in the afternoon, Xiao Zhang returned to the place where the kiln was opened alone, and the old men all went back to take a nap, and there was nothing to see next.
After visiting Xiao Zhang's blue and white porcelain kiln preparation process before opening the kiln, several old men can be regarded as eye-opening.
I also have a basic understanding of Xiao Zhang's blue and white porcelain strength.
Of course, from the beginning of a little interested, to now I am very interested in Xiao Zhang, and even like it.
This is enough to show that Xiao Zhang has completely proved himself with his own strength.
Xiao Zhang is naturally more hard-working.
When I returned to the kiln, I looked at a few pieces of blue and white porcelain clay tires, and the glaze was almost dry, and the kiln could be opened.
Xiao Zhang did not dare to move into the kiln alone, but found a few workers to help together, and then selected a good position in the kiln, and after all were stable, he was ready to close the kiln door.
The four porcelain panels are all placed in the middle, and the large bowl and the ruyi jar are placed on both sides.
After a few large pieces of blue and white porcelain entered the kiln, they occupied almost seventy or eighty percent of the space.
Obviously, it is a kiln that can fire hundreds of tea cups at one time, but it was filled with three pieces of blue and white porcelain by Xiao Zhang......
Xiao Zhang closed the door of the kiln, and then prepared to start ignition!
The firing temperature control and firing time of this blue and white porcelain are different from that of Ru porcelain and Tang Sancai.
It can be said that the time and temperature control of each type of porcelain are different, but after many years of countless craftsmen have tried it, it can be regarded as finding the most suitable data.
This also allows modern craftsmen to avoid detours and increase the probability of success.
After Xiao Zhang concocted it, the fire burned!
The first kiln of this Xiao Zhang's blue and white porcelain began to be fired!
