193 1 year (20th year of the Republic of China), Jiangsu public Yixing Vocational School was established with "Ceramic Engineering" in it, and the following year it was renamed as "Kiln Industry". 1933, the kiln industry division was separated from Yixing Vocational School and established as "Yixing Junior Ceramic Vocational School in Jiangsu Province" to recruit students with high academic qualifications and above. The school is located in today's Shushan North Factory. The first principal is Wang Shijie, who graduated from Imperial College London, Tokyo. Wu Yungen, Zhu Kexin and others have been employed as teachers and technicians in experimental workshops. Since then, they have changed the teaching method of one teacher and one apprentice, but the group teaching of many teachers and many apprentices.
Now is a good time to invest in teapot.
Since 1970' s, the market price of teapot has experienced a wave of peaks and valleys: it was favored by the market at first, then soared in the middle and late 1980' s, and then continued to cool like hot tea.
However, in the past two years, the teapot has begun to heat up again. However, some collectors pointed out that the current overall price is still low: the price of traditional pots is only 30%-45% of that in the 1980s and 1990s, and the value of pots made by many famous artists is not as high as that in the peak period of 65,438+0/65,438+00.
Experts believe that1950-1the teapot produced in the early 1960s is not expensive, but it has great value-added potential, because they are generally handmade by old artists, with good quality and standardized technology.
In the auction market, the protagonist of the teapot has always been a product of the Qing Dynasty, accounting for about 80%. However, due to the reluctance of collectors to sell exquisite pots and the scarcity of pots in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the market was relatively depressed in the past two years.
At present, the highest auction price of teapot may be a red-drawn teapot that appeared at the auction of Christie's (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. in 2002, with a transaction price of HK$ 654.38+RMB 4700.
Although the market price of teapot rebounded slightly in 2004, for example, a purple teapot sold for 550,000 yuan (about 66,500 US dollars) in Jinsha, but the overall increase was not great. Experts estimate that the best market for teapot should be two years later.
However, the market downturn is a good opportunity for investment. Experts suggest that instead of spending hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy and clean teapot, it is better to consider collecting products of the Republic of China with moderate prices, such as 1000 yuan.
Teapot has always been priced by people. The price of teapot in Ming and Qing dynasties is generally 1 10,000 yuan, but the famous works can reach 654.38+10,000-150,000 yuan, and the famous works in Qing dynasty also cost 50,000-654.38+10,000 yuan.
It must be remembered that it is very important to know the artists who make teapot, because if a provincial master of arts and crafts grows into a national master of arts and crafts, his works will be more valuable. In addition, the works of potential assistant craftsmen born around 1970 are "growth stocks" in the teapot, and the current market price is around 300 yuan.
Zisha pot ABC
Zisha tea set began in Song Dynasty and prevailed in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the teapot has gradually formed a purple sand art which integrates modeling, poetry, calligraphy, painting, seal cutting and sculpture. In other words, every good pot has an artistic language conveyed by the artist.
A teapot, from poetry and painting on the surface of the teapot to seal cutting on the bottom, handle and lid of the teapot, as well as the shape, spirit, spirit and rhyme of the whole teapot, all reflect the aesthetic orientation of traditional art. Generally speaking, they are simple and pure in texture, not flattering, and very close to the literati temperament.
Zisha pots can be divided into three categories: ancient pots in Ming and Qing Dynasties, pots in the early 20th century and contemporary pots, among which contemporary pots can be subdivided into early liberation pots, "Cultural Revolution" pots and modern pots.
The raw materials of teapot are purple mud, red mud (cinnabar mud), purple mud and Tuanshan mud (the blue mud of this mountain is beige). When the temperature is slightly different, the product will show a variety of colors such as copper, sunflower yellow, dark green, metal gray, brown black, vermilion yellow, begonia red and so on.
Because the first function is to use, the teapot must be used smoothly first. You can pick up the handle of the teapot according to your own habits, and press the lid with one finger to see if it is comfortable, so that other fingers will not touch the pot body. The gap between the pot cover and the pot body is too small or too large. The standard gap is about 2 mm, that is, you can hear a slight impact when shaking left and right. The edge line of the lid and the spout line should be aligned neatly, so that there will not be too much distance when rotating.
Beauty of red porcelain
Considering the advantages and disadvantages of a teapot, the artistic level of it is mainly investigated from five aspects: shape, clay, workmanship, style and merit.
The round basin should be symmetrical, round and smooth, the square basin should be well-defined, the lines should be wide, the bionic basin should be clearly defined, the vision should be harmonious, and the ribbed basin should be clearly textured and tightly covered.
Purple sand can be divided into coarse sand and fine sand. What affects its price is not the thickness of the sand, but whether it is uniform and pure, and there is no dye added.
Well-made teapot may inspire people with high spirits or give people a reserved temperament. You should pay attention to its description, that is, who is the author, but also to see whether its capacity is moderate, whether its height is appropriate, whether the cover is tight and whether the water is smooth.
Four characteristics
Tea rust will accumulate on the wall of the teapot after long-term use, even if boiling water is poured into the empty teapot, it will smell like tea.
Good taste retention function.
Old tea doesn't go bad, and the more summer it is, the more it can't afford greasy fur.
Good cold and hot mutation, that is to say, when boiling water is injected into the pot in cold winter, the pot will never burst because of sudden temperature change.
