Therefore, there is always no desire to look at its wonders, and there is always a desire to look at its wonders.
Tranquility and far-reaching, Fang De always, I am Lin Fangzhi.
The Song Dynasty was the heyday of 5,000 years of culture, when, under the influence of Zen culture, the mainstream art style of the Song Dynasty was pure and secluded.
Driven by such a large environment, Song Dynasty porcelain was also affected, forming monochrome glazed porcelain that contrasted with the magnificent and rich Tang porcelain.
In particular, the black porcelain jianzhan has left a distinct simplistic and pure style in history. The shape of Jianzhan is rough and natural, deep and introverted, like an old man in the mountains, with a bit of rustic atmosphere and no style. But when you read the vicissitudes and see the glitz, you will find that it is rare and valuable.
It is simple, natural, without too much embellishment, completely authentic, like a hermit who has experienced the prosperity of the world, walking to the end of the water, sitting and watching the clouds rise, a state of ease and serenity.
In line with Lao Tzu's "simplicity and the world can not compete with the beauty", this is a very high-level beauty.
Such a zen beauty, in recent years, returned to the public vision, by the public expectations and love, in the major auctions, the Song Dynasty generations of jianzhan repeatedly set high prices.
And there are also all kinds of modern Jianzhan on the market, with high and low prices, from tens to hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of prices. Because the price span of Jianzhan is so large, it also makes many friends feel emotional.
I can't help but wonder, why is the pricing of Jianzhan so chaotic? Today, I will tell you about the difference between those low-priced buildings and sky-high prices on the market!
Factors affecting the price and quality of low-cost jianzhan
When the old friends choose the jianzhan, they generally have their own set of standards and requirements, and will go to see whether a jianzhan is from a famous master, whether it is a firewood, whether it is a hand-pulled embryo, etc., so as to judge the overall value of the jianzhan.
If these conditions are not met, it is relatively inferior to build a cup, and most of the low-cost building cups on the market mainly come from this, and the characteristics of these building cups are as follows:
1, the general low price of the construction of the cup is the use of mechanical pressing, mass production of the way of production, the pattern of the blank, has not experienced the re-repair of the billet, the production of the cup will be more rigid and rigid, exposed tire, circle foot and other details are also relatively rough;
2, low-cost jianzhan may also be burned in the electric kiln, or with defects of the jianzhan can not be sold normally, it can only attract customers at a low price;
3, low-cost construction cups there are also some imitation of the counterfeit building cup, imitation of the building will use the improper, low iron content of the tire soil, so the tire quality will be white, the weight of the building will be much lighter. In addition, its glaze markings are mostly artificially processed, without calcination at high temperatures, with a weak sense of luster and a large difference in quality;
4, there are also some bad manufacturers will be in order to be able to get high-quality jianzhan pattern phase, will add some chemical dyes to the formula glaze, and then use low temperature firing to make the color present, so that the cost of firing the cup is greatly reduced, but also let the quality of the cup is greatly reduced.
From the above four points, it is not difficult to see that in general, in order to control the price of Jianzhan, manufacturers will choose to reduce the cost of firing, which will also reduce the quality of Jianzhan, and it is difficult for authentic Jianzhan to sell at such a price.
For such a cup is not recommended for tea friends to buy, so the cup is not only not of good quality, and may even damage human health.
Factors affecting the price and quality of high-priced jianzhan
High-priced jianzhan is generally the use of manual blanks, which will consume a lot of time and energy of the cup master, very test the craftsmanship and experience of the cup maker, and the labor cost is high.
Traditional cups will use firewood, which requires high prices to maintain the kiln, and the firing process also needs to consume a lot of firewood, and the yield rate is relatively low, and the cost is difficult to reduce.
Therefore, the price of authentic Jianzhan is not low, not to mention the Jianzhan from the hands of famous masters, most of which are expensive, and there is no possibility of picking up leaks.
However, you get what you pay for, and the high price or the right price is generally more quality assurance. Since there is a price based on quality, a jianzhan can sell at a high price, mainly depending on the following aspects:
1. The quality of the markings on the glaze of the Jianzhan determines the quality of the Jianzhan, the overall morphology of the superior Jianzhan is excellent, the distribution of the markings is uniform, the texture of the markings is good, and there is a good magic effect;
2. There are no obvious defects in the shape of the high-quality Jianzhan, such as the deformation of the Jianzhan, the needle eye, the occurrence of glaze accumulation, burst glaze, shrinking glaze, as well as sticking kilns, cracking and other defects are not allowed;
3, the price of the cup is also related to the way of calcination, many of the sky-high prices on the market are made of wood. The glaze pattern of the wood-fired Jianzhan has a unique charm, although it does not have the gorgeous and gorgeous of the electric kiln firing, but it has more layers of sense, and the overall oily, natural and delicate Jianzhan has a different flavor;
4, the construction of the cup of the blank technology on the overall quality of the cup also has a direct impact, the quality of the billet technology also determines the quality of the building cup type, generally the best of the cup is made of manual blank, such an embryo body is more free and flexible, and the details are handled well, the circle foot is neat.
Jianzhan, which has been beautiful and silent in history, has now become a hot darling in the antique market. The value of Jianzhan has long exceeded that of ordinary tea utensils, so the price of Jianzhan can be realized from hundreds, tens of thousands or even millions of spans.
The value reflected by different prices is different, and there are also differences in the painstaking efforts and costs of the cup-making masters condensed behind them. Only when we correctly understand this when choosing Jianzhan can we maintain full rationality when choosing Jianzhan.
