Chapter 638: Unraveling the Secret of the Porcelain Plate

After eating, Chen Yi and Ding Run returned to the antique shop, ready to start exploring whether the seven white porcelain plates were secretly stored.

Lin Tianbao also moved the box to the room inside at this time, and he had some expectations for this porcelain panel painting in his heart.

After Chen Yi's words yesterday, they suddenly felt that the white porcelain plate that they didn't care about before seemed to have some secrets.

At this moment, they opened the box, took out a white porcelain plate, looked carefully, and indeed found that the white glaze was fired by the second glaze, and there was a clear difference between the overglaze color and the underglaze color.

Although the white glaze is now covered with the entire porcelain plate, and it cannot be found from the above touching the color decoration like other glaze colored porcelain, but the white glaze of this porcelain obviously has some characteristics of glaze color, they are the owner of an antique shop, and the other is a famous porcelain collector, how can they not see this.

The underglaze color is to paint the porcelain after making the porcelain body, and then it is successfully fired in the kiln at one time, while the overglaze color is to draw various ornaments on the glazed surface of the porcelain that has been fired, and then enter the kiln for the second time and cure it at low temperature.

The porcelain kiln used for the first firing of porcelain has a very high temperature, reaching between 1200 and 1,400 degrees, and after firing, the pattern will be covered by a layer of transparent glaze film below, and the surface is smooth and crystal clear, which is the underglaze color.

The temperature of the glaze color into the kiln for the second time is only between 600 and 900 degrees, and the baking is carried out, rather than firing, and the characteristics of these two different glazes are also very different.

It's not just a blank porcelain plate on top. They don't see anything. They didn't care about it before. But Chen Yi directly found that looking at this blank porcelain plate, they really had nothing to say about Chen Yi's meticulous observation.

"Xiaoyi, you wanted to study it yesterday, I think you should have some ideas, I don't know how to try it, this glaze. Although the temperature is not high, it is not so easy to remove. At this time, looking at the porcelain plate that was taken out, although Lin Tianbao's heart was full of expectations, he still felt a little tricky.

It is not difficult to remove the glaze from the top, but if there is another porcelain painting underneath, damage is inevitable.

Chen Yi smiled, in the identification information. All the features of this porcelain plate were listed, and yesterday after he returned to the hotel. Before going to bed, he also used the aura to materialize a porcelain plate for research, although it was said that due to the tools, he could not make the entire porcelain plate painting visible, but he mastered that method, and he knew all the characteristics of the porcelain plate.

"Uncle Lin, maybe some porcelain plates are well hidden, but after all, porcelain plates are made by people, and it is impossible for everything to be exactly the same, so I'll show you a place." Chen Yi smiled, picked out one of the remaining six porcelain plates in the box, and then pointed to one of the sides of the back of the porcelain plate connected to the glaze for the two to see.

"Hey, there seems to be something else in this white glaze." Lin Tianbao said with surprise on his face, and then scraped it with a blade, and it was easy to scrape it off.

He rubbed it lightly with his hand, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly his face was full of different colors, "This white glaze is actually a grease-like thing inside." ”

"Grease, I understand, Boss Lin, I'm afraid there is really a secret, it's the person who fired the porcelain plate twice, and he was worried that the glaze below would be destroyed during the firing process, or that after the firing was completed, it would not be possible to make it reappear in the world, so he coated the glaze below with a layer of grease, and then painted a white glaze on the grease and put it in the porcelain kiln for firing."

At this time, Ding Run touched this strange layer of things on the porcelain plate with his hand, and then said as if he had an understanding.

"But isn't he afraid that the grease will melt during the firing process?" Hearing Ding Run's words, Lin Tianbao also felt that there was such a possibility, but he was also full of doubts.

"Haha, Boss Lin, for the veteran of porcelain zuΓ², there is no problem in finding some high-temperature resistant grease, and besides, this is the glaze color is white glaze, not other complex colors, only blank, not perfect, so it is not impossible to lower the firing temperature."

Ding Run laughed loudly and kept telling his conjectures, "Moreover, even if the grease melts with a certain degree of dΓΉ, it will play a more blocking role, so that this white glaze cannot really be integrated into the porcelain below, then, when you want to make the glaze below reappear in the world, it will be much simpler than the real glaze color, Boss Lin, don't forget what I do at home." ”

Lin Tianbao couldn't help patting his head, "Brother Ding, I forgot about this stubble, you are from a family of porcelain makers, and no one knows more about porcelain firing here than you, in your opinion, what should be used to remove the white glaze on this layer of grease." ”

"I shouldn't come to see it, since Chen Xiaoyou pointed out this layer of grease for us, then he must have some plans." Ding Run shook his head and smiled, looked at Chen Yi and said.

"Uncle Ding, don't make fun of me, in porcelain, you are a real expert, I am definitely not as good as you." Hearing Ding Run's words, Chen Yi couldn't help but wave his hand and said.

Ding Run was born in a family of porcelain makers, even if he was not very interested in firing porcelain, but his years of exposure in the family would make him full of understanding of porcelain making, and his experience was far from being comparable to that of a half-way monk.

"Chen Xiaoyou, it's okay, from this layer of oil, I know more about how powerful your eyesight is, in such a short period of time, I found so many suspicious points on the porcelain plate, if the white glaze on this porcelain plate is glaze color, I may have seen it before, but I have never found a layer of grease looming inside."

Speaking of this, Ding Run smiled, "Since you want to explore the secret, you must be confident, let's talk about it first, if there is a problem, I will point it out." ”

"Okay, Uncle Ding, I'll tell you what I need." Chen Yi nodded, and after combining the previous identification technique with the treasure search technique, some of the things in the displayed information that had been identified were told to Ding Run and Lin Tianbao.

Just like the previous combination of treasure search talisman and identification technique on Gu Jingzhou's purple clay pot full of paint, a method of removing the paint would be given, and on this porcelain plate painting, this method also appeared, which was the reason why he was confident that he could remove it.

Hearing the things that Chen Yi was going to use, Ding Run's face showed a hint of surprise, and when Chen Yi's voice fell, he shook his head and smiled, "Chen Xiaoyou, you are really modest, with the things you used just now, it is enough to remove the white glaze on this, well, in a certain way, it is more perfect than I thought just now." ”

"Oh, Uncle Ding, is it true, these are just the things I have heard from my master and brother, as well as the experience I have gained from reading books, and I have not been tested at all." Hearing Ding Run's affirmation, Chen Yi couldn't help but say with joy on his face, and once again took out his master and senior brother to come out of the top cylinder.

Ding Run looked at Chen Yi and sighed, "Reading more than 10,000 volumes, writing like a god, Chen Xiaoyou, it is very rare for you to be able to apply the knowledge of the books you have read to reality, some of these things are by no means what a book can bring, you can imagine how many books you have read." ”

"Uncle Ding, thank you for your compliment, I don't think I can control the proportion of dissolving agent blending after that, so please do it." After Chen Yi thanked Ding Run, he couldn't help but say that although in the identification information, there is a detailed proportion of the dissolving agent that can remove the glaze color, but he has not really operated it after all, so it is better for Ding Run to operate it, and it is better for him to watch from the side.

"Haha, that's fine, it's my pleasure, let's see what kind of secrets are hidden underneath." Ding Run laughed out loud and agreed directly.

Lin Tianbao hurriedly said at this time: "Then I will quickly ask the guy to buy materials and prepare to work." ”

"Boss Lin, some of the materials sold in the market may be a little biased, and some things are not easy to buy, let my family send some over." Ding Run waved his hand and called out to Lin Tianbao and said.

"Well, there's Brother Laudin." Lin Tianbao said with a smile.

Ding Run nodded and smiled, took out the phone, and informed the people in the family to bring some of the materials Chen Yi just said.

In less than twenty minutes, the people in Ding Run's family rushed here, which made Lin Tianbao sigh that although Ding Run was not responsible for the important position of firing porcelain in the family, as the heir of the family, his status was also very high.

And before, he was deeply loved by his grandfather, that is, the head of the previous generation of the Ding family, otherwise, it would be impossible to hand over all the porcelain handed down in the family to Ding Run.

After the materials were taken, Ding Run began to reconcile, and explained some of the processes to Chen Yi and Lin Tianbao in detail.

Soon, a small vat of dissolving agent was blended out and placed in a large container.

"This container is just enough to put a porcelain plate, Brother Ding, is this going to put the porcelain plate in it, and then pour in the solvent." At this time, seeing this container, Lin Tianbao asked with some confusion.

Ding Run smiled, "If it's just some glaze color decorations, you only need to apply it on it, and this whole porcelain plate is coated with white glaze, and it seems that the firing time is also very long, after some of these white glazes, more or less stained on the glaze below, in order to remove it perfectly, it can only be soaked in the solvent for a while, so that we will be more convenient when we erase it next."
