Marvel at the ancient beauty of the wude purple sand master cup shape, god, qi, taste, and rhyme, but it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of firing.
Every step of the way is difficult!
The first is that it is extremely difficult to obtain raw materials!
If porcelain is the first to promote Jingdezhen, then the first of the pottery must be Yixing.
More than 5,000 years ago, the ancestors who lived in this land began to make pottery, and even though the dynasties changed, the title of taodu remained unchanged.
In the tao capital, purple sand mud is stored, and there are three kinds of purple sand mud: purple mud, Duan mud and red mud.
Mud puzzles mud, mud mixes mud, forming five-colored soil.
Because the amount of mineral deposits is very limited, it was once called "rich and noble land".
Even rarer than "rich soil" is the Fan family's collection of raw mineral mud, quan Yixing, the only one!
This time, the full set of Wude Purple Sand Master Cup is made of five kinds of mud materials, which is unique in mud color and elegant style.
Secondly, the production of ancient refining mud is limited!
In order to ensure the beauty of the color of purple sand, all the mud materials used are refined by ancient methods.
Weathering, spreading, crushing, sifting, water mixing, stale...
Every step can not go wrong!
The final output of limited mud material, into an infinite exquisite!
The retro and elegant color that fascinates people at first glance is finally elegant after precise scale calculation and more than 100 times of mixing and debugging.
Again, it is difficult to pull the embryo!
Wude purple sand master cup type square non-one, round without a phase, ever-changing.
Each cup needs to be shaped by hand to ensure perfect shape.
Compared with the thick tire purple sand with higher fault tolerance rate, the tire wall of the Wude purple sand master cup is thinner, which is not only extremely difficult when pulling the embryo, but also more prone to rupture due to uneven heating during firing.
With the blessing of Master Fan Xi's profound skills for more than 20 years, he finally created a round and tangible, square and regular elegant form for this set of cups.
Finally, it is difficult to control the temperature and duration of the kiln!
The Wude Purple Sand Master Cup is a ceramic product between pottery and porcelain.
Purple sand ware does not hang glaze, make full use of the natural color of the soil, need to be fired at a high temperature of 1200 degrees
Different raw materials have different shrinkage ratios, so the temperature and duration requirements are also different.
Master Fan Xi can only grasp the firing law of the purple sand pot through his own experience and countless experiments.
The finally fired Wude Purple Sand Master Cup is warm and moist in color, quaint and lovely, different from the delicate warmth of porcelain, with a natural ruggedness.
The vigorous mud color and texture of the purple sand mud look more ancient, which can clearly express the vivid effect of the natural color of the artifact form.
It has high artistic value, cultural value and collection value.
The purple sand ware condenses the historical style of 2400 years, dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period, and is now becoming a favorite collection of countless dignitaries and nobles.
