At present, there are "China Red" porcelain, real high-temperature "China Red" porcelain and low-temperature red porcelain in the gift market. It is one of the few distributors who sell real high-temperature "China Red" porcelain, and also sells low-temperature red porcelain.
Although, whether it is high-temperature "China Red" porcelain or low-temperature bright red porcelain, the appearance is positive red (bright red). Moreover, because of low temperature firing, the appearance of low temperature porcelain glaze looks smoother and brighter than that of high temperature firing. However, the purple sand fired at low temperature, especially the purple sand fired at the furnace temperature below 800 degrees, can not be well combined with porcelain, and it is easy to collapse and fade after being used and placed for a long time. China Red porcelain fired with high-temperature big red glaze is fired at a furnace temperature above 1200℃, which is a treasure that is a perfect combination of big red glaze and porcelain blank after high-temperature firing. Look at the porcelain glaze carefully in the light or sunshine. The glaze has tiny porcelain spots and deep red, which is a kind of beauty from the inside out.
The biggest difference in price is that the high-temperature big red glaze of "China Red" porcelain uses three rare metals, such as tantalum, as stabilizers, which can withstand high-temperature firing above 1200 degrees, and the value of rare metals such as tantalum is much higher than that of gold; This is the reason why "China Red" enamel is better than Huang Jingui. However, the low-temperature red porcelain is fired with ordinary red glaze, and precious and rare metals are not used as stabilizers. The price of low-temperature red glaze cannot be compared with that of high-temperature red glaze.
Therefore, if you want to buy real and high-temperature "China Red" porcelain in the market, you must first learn how to distinguish high-temperature "China Red" porcelain. Otherwise, it will be too difficult to find a real, high-temperature "China Red" porcelain among many red porcelain that call themselves "China Red".
In addition to the way I introduced, it depends on everyone's understanding of the firing quality of porcelain glaze! ! ! Next, I will provide you with the "Four Exquisites of China Red Porcelain" summarized by Bai Mo Zhai master and calligrapher Zhang Honglin, so that you can know how to choose real and high-temperature "China Red" porcelain.
The Four Wonders of China Red
A strange saying is "difficult":
It is difficult to mix ingredients, process, fire and shape. Purple sand must be fired at a high temperature of 1250 degrees, and "ten kilns and nine declines" can be described as "treasures in thousands of kilns".
Second, it is called "expensive":
The main material is rare metal tantalum. Tantalum is several times more than Huang Jingui, so it is not an exaggeration to burn red porcelain with gold.
Three wonders are called "running":
General ceramics are fragile, bright, strong and bright; And red porcelain exudes a warm and moist, warm and thick, thick and transparent, transparent and elegant, but it is smart and clumsy, soft and rigid.
These four wonders are called "auspiciousness":
Red is the color of a gentleman's virtue, auspicious and peaceful, warm and sincere, elegant and rich, broad and graceful. Gentlemen like red, Suntech likes red, so purple sand is really a good product for gentlemen to collect or give.
The difference between inferior products in China and Kouyuu lies in:
Listen to the sound: the sound of Youpin is crisp and loud, fingers bounce on the cup body, listen to the bottle mouth and so on. And the echo is long, while the sound of inferior products is heavy and stuffy, and the echo is not big or clear.
Look at the color: the color of the superior product is like jade, and the color of the inferior product is gloomy, even with black spots.
Translucency: excellent products have strong translucency and good gloss, and glow like red lanterns under the irradiation of light; Inferior products have poor light transmission.
Thickness and weight: because of the use of real bone porcelain, porcelain is very thin; Inferior products are thick and heavy.
