Shen Ming and Gao Bo are worthy of being the top art critics in the industry, and their eyesight is first-class. The moment I saw the tea set, I immediately noticed that this tea set was different.

The main thing is the shape of the teapot, which is really special.

The shape of the pot is formed by the combination of two parabolas, one is the corner from the mouth to the bottom, and the other is the corner from the center of the bottom to the bottom. It appears to be concise, simple and generous, dignified and steady.

The lid of the pot has a button, like a half-ring, like a bridge.

The spout is straight, gradually thickening from the mouth to the body, as if it were born from the body.

The three legs at the bottom of the pot are called Go feet, which are shaped like Go pieces. Resting on the table, it seems to be a three-legged stand, showing the solemnity and extraordinary bearing of a pot.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are words on the body of the pot.

The elegant calligraphy, engraved on the pot, is very clear, and there is a style of gold and stone engraving.

"Three thousand weak water, only drink one scoop!"

Shen Ming glanced at it and said with a smile: "This pot is interesting." ”

On the other side of him, what Gao Bo saw was not another scene. The other side of the body of the pot is not a word but a picture, a very simple waterfall stone map, the strange stone is craggy, the flowing water is murmuring, it is very interesting.

Whether it is the shape of the pot, or the words on the body of the pot, as well as the picture. Even, they were still on the shoulder of the pot handle and saw the model. Every detail is very novel to Shen Ming and Gao Bo, and they have never been seen before.

For a moment, Gao Bo looked up thoughtfully and asked, "During this time, you guys have been studying this?"

Therefore, a smart person is a smart person, and a little bit is transparent.

Bai Ye smiled and poured tea from the pot.

The spout of the pot flowed out of the warm tea soup, but the closure was crisp and neat, and there was no mud and water.

Tea full of seven points.

Bai Ye put down the pot and smiled, "Everyone, please!"

The tea is slightly fragrant and has a strong aroma.

However, at this time, the attention of several art critics was basically on the teapot, and no one drank the tea.

As critics, they have a keen sense of art. When the shape and details of the teapot come into view, some people have already realized that a new art form may be about to be born.

After all, the pot in front of them is too much in line with their aesthetic taste.

The pyramid-like structure, the ampulla is full and rich, coupled with the words and paintings, revealing a strong elegant atmosphere, and the ancient charm of gold and stone, it is simply a plaything tailored for literati and celebrities.

In an instant, several people had a strong urge to play.

But after all, they have a city government, and they are still a little reserved, and they are still waiting and seeing.

"What kind of pot is this?" asked Gao Bo.

He also noticed that the body of the pot was slightly reddish and the texture was rather strange.

This shows that the materials used to make pots should not be ordinary.

"Clay pot, purple clay. ”

Bai Ye explained: "The local area of Xishan, a kind of clay specialty, is scarce in other places, and the most important thing is that after this kind of purple sand mud is fired, it will have a luster like gold and stone, and there is a sound of gold and stone......

As he spoke, he reached out to strike.

"Don't move. ”

In an instant, Shen Ming hurriedly blocked it, glared and said, "Young man, don't be so frizzy, talk well, don't move your hands and feet, we will verify it ourselves." ”

"Ugh. ”

Bai Ye smiled, "Okay, whatever you want." ”

Anyway, several critics have taken the bait, and his purpose has been achieved.

At the same time, Shen Ming asked, "Old Gao, are you coming or am I coming?"

"I'll come. Gao Bo was in high spirits.

Shen Ming was speechless: "You're really welcome......"

"This is not the time for modesty to give in. Gao Bo smiled, stretched out his hands directly, carefully held the handle of the pot with one hand, repeatedly held the bottom of the pot, and picked up the teapot.

At this time, he was able to feel the charm of this pot more clearly.

The spout and handle are symmetrical, and the lines of the body are very smooth. He reached out and touched the ampulla, and the body of the pot that was filled with boiling water did not feel the heat.

Gao Bo was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but lift the lid.

A puff of heat rose like mist.

The fragrance of tea enters the nose.

Gao Bo sniffed lightly and couldn't help but say, "Bai Ye, did you add heat insulation ingredients to the clay?"

"Absolutely not. ”

Bai Ye immediately said: "The purple clay pot has too many advantages, and the heat insulation is not hot, and it is also one of them." There are other benefits, I won't list them all, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking about them for a while. ”

"Huh!"

Gao Bo was noncommittal.

He continued to observe the teapot, which had a style on the shoulder, which is a common style seal in calligraphy and painting. His fingertips touched the word white leaves, and then asked, "So, you made this pot?"

Bai Ye said truthfully: "No, I designed the shape, and then invited a skilled pot maker to make it together." ”

"That's right. Gao Bo nodded in satisfaction.

If Bai Ye still knows how to make pots, he is the first to suspect it.

At the same time, Bai Ye added: "Not only the shape design, but also the pot engraving, as well as the painting and style, these are all ...... I personally do."

Gao Bo remained silent, but there was also a look of surprise in his eyes.

Don't think that this thing is simple, it is nothing more than imitating the form of calligraphy and painting, and using the routines of calligraphy and painting directly on the pot.

Calligraphy and painting are exquisite, and poetry, calligraphy, printing and painting are integrated. The problem is that this process of integration has also gone through a long period of time and the accumulation of many generations before it finally formed a fixed pattern.

Could it be that the ancients were stupid and couldn't do it in one step?

At the end of the day, it's a matter of consciousness. At the beginning, everyone didn't have such awareness, and it wasn't until someone pierced the window paper that everyone suddenly realized that it could still be like this.

The same is true for purple clay pots.

In the original time and space, the purple clay pot was created in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and soon became popular among the literati, and slowly became popular. However, it was not until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that there were famous purple clay pots, who created the style of engraved poems on the body of the pot, and signed the inscription and seal at the same time.

From creation, to development, to maturity, and then to innovation......

It's a gradual process.

Now Baiye, directly omitting these processes, completely showing the unique charm of the purple clay pot in front of everyone's eyes, how not to surprise.

This is also why, whether it is Chen Daqi, Xiao Luo, or Yu Chi, after visiting the workshop, they did not hesitate at all, and directly participated in it.

Because they know the charm of the purple clay pot, and they also know that there is room for them to play at this stage of grass creation. Anyway, during this time, these people are pondering, researching, and designing the most perfect and artistic shapes in their minds.

Bai Ye is happy to see it.

"So that's the name of the pot?"

Gao Bo studied for a moment, pointed to the weak water three thousand, and drank only one scoop on the side, where there was an engraving.

The word is the date, as well as two words, stone scoop.

Stone scoop pot.

Bai Ye smiled: "That's right, the pot is changing, and the stone scoop is the first to be recommended." ”
