Chapter 307: The Secret of the Ru Kiln

"Find a high-melado porcelain workshop in Jingdezhen, if there are no local immortals to guide you. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is like Hu Chuankui's loyal and righteous National Salvation Army driving into Shajiabang, and his eyes are black. High melamine does not need large-scale production, nor should it be made public, some skills are passed down from the previous life, and even only sons and daughters are not passed on. Some of the workshop owners were technicians of some state-owned porcelain factories in Jingdezhen, and after the factory closed down, they went to the people, set up their own workshops or were hired by others, and introduced new technologies into high-imitation technology, reaching an unprecedented level. ”

For example, Lijiaao is one of the bases of high melamine, and a shopkeeper has been engaged in high melamine for several years, nicknamed "Little Japan". He made high imitation porcelain from the mud to grab, buy the mineral soil not to be processed by the ball mill, and step on the mud by himself, so that the porcelain clay will leave bubbles and fine particles, which is no different from the old ware. As for the glaze, I also bought it myself and then matched it. ”

"The glaze color of different dynasties is different, for example, the blue and white lining of the Yuan Dynasty should add a little red and black head to make it purple red, and there are a little rust spots in the blue and white, relying on increasing the composition of iron oxide, as for the unique halo of the Yuan ware, it must be achieved by controlling the atmosphere of the kiln. This is knowledge, and you can't understand it. But there is one point, even if I want to make a high imitation, a variety often has to be done dozens of times, the success is very low, the failure is the cost, and it should be sold a little higher. ”

Most shops have two floors, the lower floor is for street goods, and the second floor is for boutiques. A three-inch-high bucket color plum bottle, imitating the Qianlong official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, the market price is 800 yuan, the imitation of the blue and white entwined branch lotus plate, the bottom foot of the jump knife marks can be made, the asking price is 4000 yuan. ”

After speaking, Lao Tang stood up and pulled the two of them directly to his kiln to see the whole process of burning porcelain with his own eyes.

Three people came to the fairy well, here is the old Tang family heirloom kiln, after continuous development and growth there are now dozens of workers, Jingdezhen only three old kilns are here.

As soon as he entered the kiln factory, Wu Tianyuan saw pine firewood piled up into a hill, and could smell their attractive fragrance in the sun. The use of firewood kilns to capture the charm of the official kiln is a very luxurious porcelain in the already widespread use of the Lingzi kiln, which means a significant increase in production costs.

"We need to burn a kiln here to consume 4 trucks of pine firewood, and the time is 22 hours, not counting anything else, just this will cost thousands of yuan!"

Geng Lao smiled: "See? The real antique is not to burn wood, but to burn money! ”

"You know how I met Don Jr. when I first started? is because he has the highest level of antiquity, and even the Forbidden City has to cooperate with him! Geng Lao explained: "Now the museum is not easy to operate, the cost is very high, and the Forbidden City also has to develop by-products and sell some high-end handicrafts. Of course, the price is clearly marked, and Tong Su is not deceived. ”

"Let's go, look at our finished product!"

Lao Tang took two people to the warehouse, all of them were Kang Yongqian's three generations of imitation official kilns, and there were a few pieces of Ming blue and white, which were extremely beautiful.

"Brother, take a look?" Old Tang is also curious about Wu Tianyuan's magic, there are more fakes and fewer here, just weigh it.

"This, this, and the plum bottle over there are genuine, and the others are all high imitations!"

Wu Tianyuan smiled slightly, listened casually, didn't need to get started at all, and found the answer in a minute.

"Cow! I'm convinced! ”

Lao Tang gave a thumbs up, and his name was well deserved, and he really deserved to be a top expert, and he had never seen a second one in his life with this eyesight!

"This kid is better than me, and I don't know what he did in his last life?"

Geng Lao was helpless, he played porcelain all his life, and he couldn't compare to Wu Tianyuan, who was in his twenties, he was really more angry than people!

Wu Tianyuan picked up a high imitation, used his eyesight to find a flaw, and secretly sighed for a while that he really couldn't see it! If you don't have an ability, you have to be eye-catching!

"What a stunt!"

Hearing Wu Tianyuan's appreciation, Lao Tang was very proud and said: "After several lifetimes of family handicrafts, there are naturally some doorways, the one you take is at least 200,000, don't bargain!" ”

The three of them returned to the office and asked Geng Lao to take a break, Wu Tianyuan asked, "Where are these sold?" ”

Originally, this was a trade secret, but because it was Wu Tianyuan who asked, Lao Tang said honestly: "Half of the country is collected by the middle class, as a work of art." You can also see that although I am a high imitation, I have my own mark, and I am not considered a fake. ”

"There are also some sold to Japan, Europe and the United States, Japan likes the old kilns of the Song Dynasty, Europe and the United States like Kang Yongqian colorful pastels, and there are less than 30 at most every month."

"Only thirty?" Wu Tianyuan was a little dissatisfied and said: "It's mainly a cost problem? ”

"Not bad!" Old Tang said helplessly: "The cost is too high, if I didn't have a family heirloom, I wouldn't have been able to hold it up a long time ago." If I use technology to deceive people, I can sell for tens or even millions of dollars. But that bad conscience can't face the ancestors and ancestors after death! ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded and said, "What if I cooperate with you and invest 500 million together?" ”

"How much?" Old Tang was stunned for a moment, didn't hear clearly, and asked again.

"You can rest assured, 500 million is just an early investment, and it is no problem to invest 100 million or 200 million after the finished product is mature!"

Old Tang's chin opened wide, and he said incredulously: "Twenty billion? ”

"You kid don't be surprised, Wu Tianyuan is a real tyrant, let alone two billion, even ten billion, he can take it out!"

Geng Lao laughed, he roughly knew Wu Tianyuan's idea, which was to revive Chinese art porcelain, although he didn't know why he was so confident, but Wu Tianyuan was creating all kinds of miracles all the way, and this person couldn't be judged by common sense.

"I really didn't think about that!"

Old Tang calmed down, but hesitated a little and said: "Since my brother believes me, let's tell the truth!" There is no problem with Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, after all, my ancestor Tang Ying is the old ancestor, leaving a lot of experience and technology. ”

"But Yuan Qinghua and the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty can't!" Old Tang said solemnly: "Not only me, but also no one in the whole of China can imitate Yuan Qinghua, let alone the five famous kilns of Brother Ruguan Junding!" ”

"That's right, I've lived all my life, and I've never seen a high imitation that can be fake, not only the lost technology, but even the raw materials have been lost for hundreds of years!"

Geng Lao is a porcelain master, and he has the most right to speak on this issue: "Xiao Tang's imitation of Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain has reached the peak, even if I don't pay attention to it, I have to be eye-catching, this is already the peak!" Yuan Qinghua is impossible to imitate, not to mention the technology, just Su Ma Liqing has been lost for more than 500 years, how to imitate? ”

"There are also five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, which is even more difficult to compare to the sky!"

Lao Tang sighed: "It's good to say that the kiln is mainly white porcelain, and there is no need to consider the glaze, as long as you find the most suitable kaolin, you can imitate it." ”

"Jun kiln is a big problem, its biggest difficulty lies in the kiln change! The construction of kilns is also a problem, why Japan wants to enshrine only three Yao Chang Tianmu as supreme national treasures, is because of the uniqueness of thousands of miles. ”

"Not to mention the kiln, just one opening has stumped countless skilled craftsmen for thousands of years! Until now, I don't know how to control the temperature of the kiln, and ensure that the porcelain does not crack! ”

"How to deal with the glaze of the official kiln? What is the formula? It's also a mystery for the ages! ”

"The last is the Ru kiln, there are a lot of Ru kiln treasures in the Tianyuan Museum, brother, you should have studied it yourself, right?"

Wu Tianyuan recalled that every time he saw the charming azure color of Ru kiln, he was suddenly relaxed, and the reason why he liked Song Dynasty porcelain was because of their quiet but not noisy, warm and moist like jade, and humble and gentlemanly. (To be continued.) )
