challenge porcelain limit 0.3 millimeter porcelain disc portrait
most of my previous works are thick porcelain carvings, and the engraving difficulty is relatively small. Zhang Wencheng said that art has no vitality without innovation. In the past 6 years, he has been exploring the art of carving on thin glaze. The thin tire porcelain originated from the age of the celadon in the Song Dynasty. Compared with the thick porcelain, its thin embryo is also known as.Amp; lsquo eggshell porcelain.Amp; rsquo. He said that the thickness of the thin tire porcelain is only 0.3-0.8 millimeter, only two layers of glaze are found. Carving on the thin glaze is a folk art that challenges porcelain carving. A piece often takes months or even longer. In the period of
