Chapter 630: Earthworms Walk Mud Patterns
At that moment, the air almost froze.
Donald stood with a smile, but his subordinates unequivocally slammed hard!
The heart seems to be broken.
The basket was littered with broken fragments.
Blue, purple, red, all kinds of colors.
No matter how exquisite the utensils are, they will become a touch of soul when they fall into the bamboo basket.
Donald listened to the crisp sound, his hands trembled for a long time, and he couldn't relax.
When he watched Master Lu smash those failed porcelains, he was a little lost, but he didn't feel much of it.
That feeling is more regret than sadness.
He patronized the pity that the porcelain was not successfully transformed, but he never thought about what kind of mood Master Lu would have when he smashed those carefully crafted works with his own hands.
At this moment, I empathize with it, and I understand that it is not sad that I have never gotten it, but it is sad that I have gained and lost it.
Destroying the hard-won beloved things with your own hands is so heartbroken that you can't breathe.
Donald slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Zi'an - he only smashed this one piece and it was so painful, how would Master Lu feel if he smashed so many pieces?
Sensing his gaze, Lu Zi'an thought for a moment and said comfortingly: "Don't be too sad, don't be too sad, let's study it together tomorrow, since we can produce a piece of Jun porcelain, then we must be able to produce a second piece!"
Knowing that he had misunderstood what he meant, Donald didn't explain too much.
He nodded, thanked him, wiped his eyes silently, and tried to smile at Lu Zi'an: "Yes, with your words, it will definitely be done...... Hey, this person is old, he just can't bear it, he hasn't slept all night, I can't open my eyelids, you are busy, ah, then I'll see you tomorrow Master Lu. โ
In fact, he wanted to stay, but the eyes of everyone looking at him were mixed with too much sympathy, and perhaps there was also a bit of sadness in it.
I'm old, I can't stand this the most, anyway, I have Master Lu's words here, and it's not too late to come back tomorrow.
โโฆโฆ Okay, see you tomorrow. โ
Lu Zi'an personally sent him to the door, and he didn't stop until Donald repeatedly refused.
It was dark.
The autumn breeze was bleak, and Donald, who was wearing a bulky coat, wrapped himself in his clothes, and staggered forward.
The thin and slightly rickety back makes people can't help but recall the shining appearance of him holding the listing plate just now.
When they reached the door, as if sensing something, Donald turned around and waved vigorously at them with a vague face.
His slightly hoarse voice drifted in the wind: "Go back! Go back...... Go to ......"
Lu Zi'an sighed, turned around and walked back to the workbench, and continued to pick up.
The others each looked at each other and silently picked up their own work.
There was no communication, but everyone turned over and over, carefully examined it, and confirmed whether their porcelain had been changed.
Then, the workshop resounded with a crisp sound one after another.
Lu Zi'an turned his back to everyone, and his fingers gently stroked the glazed surface of the amphora.
He listened to the movements in silence, and did not dare to turn around.
It's always easy to watch others go through it, and it's sad to notice it at the end of the day.
How will they feel in their hearts?
He didn't ask.
I thought that this kiln porcelain, I am afraid that the two pieces of glaze changed color.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Zi'an opened the last sagger, a touch of cold white jumped into his eyes.
"Oops, how is it white......"
Before everyone's regrets and sighs could be finished, Lu Zi'an used his strength to directly take out the forty-centimeter-high, slightly heavy porcelain vase.
โโฆโฆ Red!?"
No one thought that the pure white only occupied half of the bottle.
The glaze color change came suddenly and warmly, as if a red plum suddenly appeared in the snow, and as if it was the frost and snow accumulated in the crater for thousands of years.
What is rare is that this red color is bright but not demonic, pure but not condensed.
It is like a streamer, swaying and flowing on the bottle.
No matter from which angle you look at it, you have new experiences and realizations.
Especially at the junction of red and white, the faint ice cracks make the enamel of the red and white more vibrant, as if it were broken, and there is really a texture of melting frost and pressing cold.
Even Lu Zi'an was quite surprised by such a scene.
The fingertips are gently caressing the glaze, and the fingers are clearly a little burning, but the snow color gives people a cold feeling.
If the ice is too thick, it will feel bulky.
However, this snow color is lush, and there is also a red process in the Gongzhong, and there is a faint blue under this snow color.
"I have climbed a snowy mountain, this is the feeling, this is the feeling!" A young man was so excited that he exclaimed.
The voice was abrupt and harsh, but no one rebuked it.
Everyone stared intently at the porcelain vase, and they were reluctant to take their eyes off it.
"I looked at it, how do I feel that this glaze seems to have lines?" A master couldn't help but take out a magnifying glass, and he couldn't wait to go directly to the bottle to see.
In the process of the white glaze hanging down, it is tilted and multiple ways converge, forming a state of "buckling and folding".
The red glaze underneath is darker, and the two clash with each other, leaving some less obvious, but quite agile lines.
"It seems to be, Master Lu, what is this?"
He asked in his mouth, but muttered in his heart: Don't you crack your hands again? Their little hearts really can't bear it.
Lu Zi'an picked up the porcelain vase, looked at the light carefully, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked: "Thin lines are hidden, showing a flowing ......"
Before he could say the answer, someone shouted in surprise: "Could it be!"
Indeed, if you look closely, you can see that these lines look like earthworms walking in the mud after rain.
Antique dealers generally call it the cricket pattern, while in the porcelain shop, the professional name is "earthworm walking mud pattern".
All the lines are not easy, but among them, it is the "earthworm walking mud pattern" that is the most rare.
There is a confusing sentence in "Kuangya", which once gave people a brief outline of the creation of earthworms walking mud patterns.
[Insect painter of shrinking glaze.
and like the ashes of the serpent.
Hainan people use snake bones to grind Wei, and into the green incense to burn it, then the incense ash does not fall.
and bent and winding, like a serpentine. ใ
This means that the Song people added a substance similar to "snake bone" in the Jun kiln firing, which made the tear stains more viscous (and more moist).
The fired porcelain, this snake bone substance, in the process of flowing down, is inclined and converging in many ways, and finally forms this peculiar pattern.
It's just that there is no reference to the craftsman's codex, and there is no detailed record in the history books, so all along, the creation process of this pattern was limited to people's imagination.
It is precisely because of this that they can't associate the lines in front of them with the earthworm walking mud patterns at the first time.
Lu Zi'an pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's just worth saying that earthworms walk mud patterns, which are not unique to Jun kiln, but also have Ru kiln." โ
"Uh......"
Everyone looked at each other, but they were quite unified: "I haven't heard of it." โ
Lu Zi'an took the towel and said while wiping his hands: ""Kuaya" once recorded: [Ruyao small cup. Chalky though not very smooth. And there is a porcelain base underneath. The pattern is like an earthworm walking in the mud. It's also a treasure. Although this porcelain has not been left with the real thing, I know that it is rare just by imagination......"
It's a rare statement, and they ponder it.
Without waiting for them to come up with a result, Lu Zi'an said again: "In addition, there is [enamel is very flat. And the inner appearance of the ้บค [cลซ] pattern. Buckling and folding. If the earthworm walks in the sand and mud. Both kilns and ruin kilns are available. This is the fact that there are earthworms walking mud patterns in Ru kilns, but Ru kiln ware is rare, and those with earthworm mud patterns are even rarer, and there has never been a genuine product in the world. โ
In fact, many collectors have a misunderstanding of the earthworm mud pattern, and the biggest misunderstanding is that this pattern is limited to Jun porcelain.
Although he has not seen the finished product, since it has been recorded, he cannot give people the wrong idea that this kind of texture is unique to Jun porcelain.
"I've seen a Jun porcelain treasure, which was auctioned at a sky-high price, and there were earthworms walking mud patterns on it...... "But it only appears at the junction of red and cyan, and I have never seen this kind of white ......."
Could it be that Master Lu discovered a new type of technology in the process of studying Jun porcelain?
It is so pure white, and it has a faint moon-white luster in the light......
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really couldn't believe that there was such an exquisite craftsmanship in the world.
