Chapter 600 Phoenix Nirvana(1/2)
In many people's impression, polishing is not very difficult.
For example, wood carving and jade carving, the difficulty lies only in carving. Grinding is important, but it will not be more difficult than carving.
But cloisonne is not listed.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Lu Zian lifted up the carcass that had been burned for more than ten times.
At this time, the color of the entire vase not only changes from light to dark, but also has a richer layering.
This is because every time the cloisonné is fired in the kiln, it becomes more beautiful. The more it is burned, the more beautiful it becomes, like a phoenix reborn in the fire.
Such a finished product is also a rare treasure for Taixiao.
A master standing in front of the vase couldn't help but reach out: "It's so beautiful...ah?"
Before he could touch the vase, Lu Zian took the vase away.
When Lu Zi'an took out the glaze and applied it on the vase again, someone finally couldn't help it: "Why are you applying it again?"
"Yes, isn't the blue dot already done?"
Lu Zian shook his head: "This is not a little blue."
What's the meaning?
"This is not glaze." Lu Zi'an didn't raise his head, his voice calm and calm: "It has nothing to do with color, it is just a protective layer, which is corrosion-resistant."
“…”
It's even more weird.
Why are you still getting anti-corrosion? The back is polished and gilded!
Everyone looked at each other and suddenly slapped their heads: Oh, by the way, what Master Lu said was a cloisonne!
Is this still necessary to be reborn?
They are a little reluctant to let it go.
In their opinion, this is a very perfect work.
Based on the original process of cloisonné, further refinement and adjustment were carried out. Lu Zian's works are more graceful and elegant than the usual cloisonné.
However, the name Lu Zian is absolutely authoritative in the industry, and no one dares to raise objections.
The crowd was very quiet, but everyone couldn't help but look into Lu Zi'an's glaze bowl: How is the liquid in that bowl prepared?
No one knew that when Lu Zi'an was making the arrangement, they were just looking at the vase.
Some people couldn't help but feel a little upset: if they had known this thing was so important, they should have stared at Lu Zi'an's every move, and they shouldn't have relaxed just because the vase was made.
It was only a while before they could no longer keep up with Lu Zian's progress.
After Lu Zi'an finished applying, he stood up and drank a glass of water.
People learn from their mistakes and dare not be distracted at all. They even stare at him when drinking water.
"Huh?" Lu Zian noticed their gaze, glanced at it, and smiled helplessly: "It's nothing now, the vase is just drying, just dry it, I'll adjust the solvent first."
Solvent? Another new object!
People's eyes shone and refused to relax for another minute, so they followed Lu Zi'an to adjust the solvent.
As they looked, the smiles on their faces became a little stiff: "Why are there chemical solution?"
It is said that chemical solutions are mild, but this is clearly sour!
"That's it." Lu Zian looked calm: "Otherwise, how can he corrode?"
corrosion?
Everyone's faces turned green.
But even with countless roars in their hearts, they still could not stop Lu Zian's actions.
Lu Zian turned a blind eye to the sadness on their faces and continued to debug various concentrations until he felt it was OK, so he nodded with satisfaction.
After the vase is dry, there is a translucent corrosion-resistant coating on the surface.
In everyone's eyes, whether sad, entangled, or sad, Lu Zi'an hooked the vase with a hook, immersed himself in the solution without blinking.
"ah!"
Ying Xuan even heard a lot of wailings from his chest and deep in his throat.
Everyone looked at the violent reaction inside with fear, and for a moment they seemed to have lost their voices and could not speak for a long time.
Lu Zian picked up the vase and put it in another solution, repeating it many times.
The first time everyone was very worried, but after repeated several times, people were a little helpless.
Not only is there no fluctuation, but there is even a mentality of giving up: let it go, just don’t melt it all in the end.
Only when Lu Zi'an took out the vase from the last solution, everyone finally got excited and looked over carefully.
The lily vase at this time seemed to be an exquisite porcelain, but it was more exquisite and detailed than porcelain.
The bottle body is crystal clear, and this feeling of impenetrability has a hazy beauty, as if the beauty is coming out of the bath, giving people endless expectations.
Even Lu Zian couldn't help but lose his mind for such beauty for a few seconds before he could react.
He gently stroked his fingertips, feeling the throbbing brought to him by this natural roughness.
But after all, it is glaze. What is inevitable is that after firing, the glaze on the entire carcass surface is uneven in thickness and the color is not bright.
These subtle flaws may not cause too much feeling, but at this time, they are placed on this beautiful vase, like a few drops of ink stained on a beautiful painting, which is particularly eye-catching.
And this is exactly the significance of the polishing process.
Lu Zian did not delay too much. He put the vase on the runner and then picked up the coarse sand and gravel first.
It's so thin, do you still need to polish it?
He dared not stop or question, but everyone couldn't help but take a step forward subconsciously, forming a semicircle around his workbench, staring at his movements with bright eyes, and was reluctant to miss every moment.
The runner rotated rapidly, and there was a water pipe on it slowly dripping with water. Lu Zi'an held a piece of coarse sand and gravel in both hands, took a slight breath, and slowly approached.
"Spit"
Everyone was frightened to see it, afraid that something would go wrong.
After several days of precipitation, they have become accustomed to Lu Zi'an's style of everything himself, but the vase with no copper tires still needs to be polished, and everyone is still worried.
Because the polishing of cloisonné is complicated and troublesome, and the failure rate is extremely high and the operation is difficult. In just a few years, no one dares to polish the finished product easily.
It is very difficult to have a copper tire, let alone a finished product as exquisite and beautiful as Lu Zian?
Many people want to speak but stop.
But... if Lu Zi'an didn't do it himself, everyone on the scene asked himself, and no one had the courage to polish the thin bottle.
Is there any way?
Who made Master Lu have high abilities, confidence, and aura so big that no one dared to raise objections?
He decided, what could they do?
Not only can I just spoil it!
However, since Lu Zian can polish it with such a calm and self-scrupulous manner, he naturally has real skills.
At this time, the experience of polishing jade carvings and wood carvings came in handy.
Although the difficulty of polishing has increased a lot, stability in hand is still the most important factor.
Lu Zi'an's eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, and the wheel rotated rapidly, but his hands remained motionless.
After the circle was polished and smoothed, he slowly moved forward. Clear water flowed through the bottle and then flowed out along the square trough below. The water mixed with the ground debris, flashing slightly under the light, as bright as the Milky Way in the dark night.
Every time he translated, Lu Zian was at ease, as if he was not doing anything.
But when the eyes fell on his slightly white joints and his slightly sweaty nose, they could understand how much energy it would take to do so.
From the beginning, the slight harsh sizzling sound turned into a soft sound. The wheel was too fast and people couldn't see the pattern on it clearly.
Lu Zian never thought about stopping to see if it was flat. When the coarse sand and gravel in his hand moved from head to bottom and polished it all, he let out a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand.
Ying Xuan immediately handed over the fine sand and gravel: "Master."
"Yes." Lu Zian handed him the coarse sand and gravel in his hand and replaced it with two fine sand and gravels.
This kind of fine polishing is more cautious than the coarse sand and gravel that have just been used.
Because what you need to do is to smooth the glaze surface, while fine sand and gravel need to polish the glaze surface.
Looking at the rotating wheel that was rotating rapidly, a master couldn't help but wipe her sweat and whispered: "Do you want to remind Master Lu to take it down and take a look?"
Their polishing habit is to pick it up and observe it carefully after polishing it.
Because coarse sand and gravel grinds remove excess impurities, some impurities are too deep and hard, and the glaze may be scraped off when worn out;
If the glaze is defective, stop and check at this time to make up for the mistakes in time and continue to polish after firing.
"No need." The answer was a senior polisher.
To be continued...
