1. Enamel technology: Enamel is an over-glaze decoration technology, which transplants enamel painting technology to porcelain tires. Officially, it was called "painted enamel with porcelain tires", later it was called "Gu Yue Circle", and abroad it was called "rose color". Enamel was first produced in the late Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. It was created by introducing foreign enamel materials and became an extremely precious royal porcelain.
2. The making process of enamel porcelain is different from other court porcelain. First, white porcelain was fired at a high temperature in Jingdezhen, then sent to the office of the Qing Palace in Beijing for painting, and then the enamel made in the office was fired in a color furnace. Kangxi painted porcelain uses imported pigments, especially one of rose or carmine pigments. Because it contains a small amount of gold, it has a unique and charming effect. In addition, the pigment of China traditional colored porcelain is mixed with water or glue, while enamel colored porcelain, like western oil painting, uses oil to mix the pigment, which has a certain thickness, making the painting more stereoscopic and layered.
Enamel is an ancient craft with bright colors and collection value.
Characteristics of enamel jewelry
1, colorful. Because of the limitations of many precious stones, we can't change the color at will, so we can match enamel to make this kind of jewelry colorful and attractive.
2. The enamel process is very changeable. The design of enamel jewelry is not static, it can be changed into the style you want. At present, many gemstones and jewelry are inlaid with complexity, high cost and great technological limitations. Compared with gem technology, enamel technology is not particularly exquisite, but it allows designers to freely develop, easily color and inlay, and create various forms of enamel jewelry.
3. The process is simple. Take the enamel ring as an example. After shaping and simple forging.
4, lasting color. Enamel jewelry has fine texture, stable high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
5. Low cost. The glaze of enamel jewelry mostly comes from the blending of glass crystals, which is not only very smooth, but also durable and low in cost.
There are three main types of enamel: painting enamel, pinching enamel and filling enamel.
1. Enamel color, also known as enamel color, is made by drawing a pattern directly on the fired base glaze body with enamel color pigment and then firing it in a furnace. There is no need to knead and carve patterns on the blank. There are many kinds of enamel embryos, including metallic embryos such as gold, silver and copper and nonmetallic embryos such as glass ceramics. In addition to mastering the enamel firing process, an enamel master also needs painting skills, and the process is relatively complicated.
2. Filming silk enamel refers to the process of stubbing out filaments in the tire manufacturing process, then filling enamel glaze between filaments, and then firing. The full name of China cloisonne is "copper tire cloisonne", which belongs to a kind of cloisonne. "Cloisonne" is the common name of China folk "copper tires pinch enamel".
3. Filling enamel refers to directly casting or carving patterns and pits without clamping wires, then filling the pits with enamel color, and then firing.
4. The green bodies used in generalized enamel products mainly include gold tires, silver tires, copper tires, glass tires and ceramic tires. The main technological processes are: design, tire making, painting, firing, grinding and polishing. Guangdong is dominated by enamel paintings, while Beijing is dominated by cloisonne, and the crafts in the north and south have their own characteristics. Both of them are two treasures of traditional crafts in China!
