Colored glaze firing technique (Huangpu District) Colored glaze is the general name for glass in ancient my country. Among the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, the glass ear cups on both sides of the golden jade suit are the earliest known glass fired products in China, which have been around for more than 2,000 years. In the 1980s, the glass firing technique began to develop again, and Shanghai gradually became one of the important towns where this technique took root. 1. The artistic characteristics of the glass firing technique are: 1. Inheriting the ancient method: continuing the glass casting technique of the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, which is similar to the lost wax technique of bronze ware in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties (the Shanghai Museum calls it the bronze ware model method). 2. Pure manual work: 12 processes, each step needs to be completed by hand. 3. Breaking through material limitations: The glass firing technique is different from other glass making techniques such as lampwork and blowing. By adjusting the mold size and kiln firing technology, the three-dimensional details of the work can be expressed very delicately, and large-scale works can also be fired. 2. The important values of colored glaze firing techniques are: 1. Historical value: connecting the technical fault of 2000 years, the lost wax casting technique, and the experimental archaeological method prove that it is exactly the same as the technique of the ear cup of King Jing of Zhongshan. 2. Cultural value: Artworks made with colored glaze firing techniques fully express and present the connotation of Eastern life philosophy and traditional culture. 3. Craft value: The colored glaze firing technique inherits ancient methods, has many processes, fine materials, and continues the wisdom of ancient craftsmen. It is a very valuable historical and cultural heritage. 4. Economic value: Colored glaze art derivatives have the functions of decoration, gift giving, collection, etc., and colored glaze works can be appreciated by the public, and the artworks have collection value. 5. Aesthetic value: The colored glaze works cast by colored glaze firing techniques are complex and precise. The transparent material and precise modeling make the works derive a unique beauty, which is different from other works of art. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
