The customer brought a Song Dynasty Jianzhan
It is a relatively small incense burner cabinet type
pity
One was repaired with lacquer
However, the effect is not very satisfactory
Hopefully, this lamp can be recreated
I have done a lot of Song Dian's re-creation
As is common practice, it's a little bit of craftsmanship
But under the lights
But the glaze pattern of this cup deeply attracted me
The wisps are colorful
Suddenly I thought of Van Gogh
Pictured | Ugin glazed rabbit
The boundaries of art are blurred
During his studies at CAAM
I put down a lot of work
Read a lot in the library
Engraving Sculpture Jewelry design...
The artistic civilizations of the East and the West are like a kaleidoscope
It was deeply implanted in my heart
It was also during that period
"Art" and "craftsmanship" are in my heart
It's like two hands of a man
Become equally important
Van Gogh's excitement is tinged with melancholy
And the temperament of Jianyan is restrained
The foundation of wisdom
Not easy to highlight
So incorporate the excitement of the starry night
It can't be a copy of the move
So Van Gogh's Starry Night is a source of inspiration
Rather than the core of the creation
After the subject matter is determined
The most important thing is the way it is presented
I've always been cautious about Song's creations
Even with a sense of admiration
Because it is nature and ancient craftsmen
The crystallization of industrious wisdom
The | miniature mosaic of the fine jewellery dial
I can't help but think of what I saw in the Forbidden City
Exhibition of court jewelry in the Napoleonic period
One of them was a pendant on a necklace that impressed me
It was a square pendant
Only the size of a stamp
But it is embedded in a streetscape
The square inches between them is stunning
Later, it was learned that this miniature inlaid jewelry was born out of it
Mosaic murals in the West
The earliest Italian aristocracy in the Renaissance
Within the territory of its eastern ancient city
Found in the ruins of ancient Rome
It mainly depicts some natural landscape or religious story
The ancient Romans preferred to use small stone shells
Tiles glass sheets and other colored inserts
Paint mosaic patterns on frescoes or walls
Lots of classic mosaic murals
Mosaic is a transliteration of the art of mosaic, in English: mosaic
It means "artistic work that is worth meditating on and requires patience"
Micromosaic is also called micro mosaic
is the world's most well-known collector of micro-mosaic works
Sir Arthur Gilbert proposed
Evolved from the word mosaic
The emergence of micro-mosaics is closely related to the development of Vatican workshops
In 1727
Under the impetus of Pope Benedict XIII
A Vatican workshop specializing in the production of mosaic artwork
(The Vatican Workshop) was born
Mainly for the production of mosaic products for the Holy See
But at the same time, it will also produce customized products
By the late eighteenth century
Two highly revered artists at the time were the artist Caesar Ogouti
and Giacomo Rafali improved the art of mosaic
They produced miniature inlays smaller than a millimeter in diameter
These inserts are made of enamel
Mixed heating at high temperatures exceeding 800 degrees Celsius
These glass slurries are cooled and then cut into tiny square bricks
In addition to reducing the size of the bricks
This technology also brings a richer choice of colors
Early 19th century
Some began to appear near the Spanish Steps below the Holy Trinity Church
Private micro-mosaic workshop
Since every piece of micro-mosaic jewelry is done by hand
So each one is unique
It has a high collection value
The whole process is quite time-consuming
And each step can only be done by hand with the naked eye of the craftsman
The inlay craftsman must not only have superb skills
It is also necessary to have a very high level of artistic accomplishment
in order to control the combination effect of color and shape
The more advanced the materials used (natural gemstones, gold, silver, etc.)
The more unique the pattern is
The better the save state
The higher the value
Modern top luxury using micro mosaics

Years of experience in engraving and research on jewelry
I decided to polish it by hand
Use raw turquoise as a mosaic piece
The final design is that each insert is about 1mm wide
2-3mm or so length
Choose a turquoise cut with high porcelain degree and good wetness
And then you pick out a few thousand cutting pieces in different shades
Over 100 color scale combinations
When mounting according to actual needs
Perform another cut chamfer
The process is hard
It is precisely in this way that it is fully realized
Craftsmanship
It doesn't matter what
In order to have an extraordinary artistic effect
Present the perfect fusion of Eastern and Western art
Jump in silence
Flow in silence
Cheerful and heavy
Intense and ethereal
Arbitrary
Smooth
Isn't this the freedom of the moon by raising a glass for a bard?
It is not the pleasure of tea tasting that nurtures the cup
The virtue of making friends
The birth of a turquoise micro-mosaic mosaic
The following elements are inseparable
The creative carrier - Song Dian - the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese Song Dynasty craftsmen
The subject of creation , Starry Night – was inspired by Van Gogh's famous works
Creative material - raw turquoise - natural jade material
Creative craftsmanship - micro-mosaic inlay - Italian craftsmen have been passing on the craft for a hundred years
These are all things that are otherwise irrelevant
That's it
On this piece
