the so-called "porcelain", that is, the broken porcelain together, with the diamond drill hole and then embedded in the nail, to restore the recovery sample and show the aesthetic feeling of crack. It is understood that this folk craft has a history of thousands of years, but now it is on the verge of extinction. In recent years, as the collection of ceramic products such as purple sand has been warming up, the once painted porcelain and its unique skills have quietly returned to life.
Yu Jizhou, an old man who lives in Tianqiao District, is known as a porcelain master. Aged nearly 70 years old, has been holding this craft for more than 40 years. The teapot and porcelain are mostly made of clay, crisp and fragile, and the teapots that have cracked or even broken are closed together. The technical requirements are high. The premise of deciding whether or not a carpenter to work is professional is nail. The nail should be selected according to the size of the teapot and the length of the crack. The smallest part is only two millimeters. The size and arrangement of nails and the depth of drilling are very strict. A pot must have more than 100 nails at most. The nails on his good teapot not only do not feel superfluous, but add a lot of lingering charm to the pot.
