No matter in the noisy outdoors or in a refined elegant room, brewing tea with a covered bowl and clearing the tea soup will always bring a warm and clear rhythm. Making tea with a covered bowl, you can see the color of the tea, smell the fragrance of the tea, and taste the tea soup. Taste, look at the shape of the leaves, mobilize the five senses, and be content with it.
Today, Tongxinshe Teahouse recommends a "coral red small bowl" with a capacity of 100ml. This "red" is not easy to come by. Friends who like porcelain must have heard the phrase "burning red glaze, nine out of ten kilns", just 9 With one word, the difficulty of firing red glaze is clearly explained. Unlike iron red glaze, which is fired in a low-temperature oxidizing atmosphere, the color is stable and the firing process is simple; copper oxide is used as the color. The copper red glaze is extremely difficult to burn and it is very easy to fail. This is because the copper red glaze needs to be fired in a high-temperature reducing atmosphere. If there is a slight error in one step, it may be that the whole kiln is scrapped, and the single-word kiln Temperature control is a test of craftsmen, but because of its high firing temperature, the chemical molecules are also extremely stable, so it has the characteristics of safety and non-toxicity. Today, the production of this gaiwan is precisely because of this, and there is no choice. The "easy" way--use low-temperature iron red glaze instead. As the old saying goes, hard work pays off. At the author's insistence, this high-temperature-fired coral-red lidded bowl will meet you. The glaze color is uniform after firing. , smooth, bright and bright, warm and bright, this coral red has a hint of simplicity due to its imitation of the Qing-style shape, which is opposite and neutral with its own bright color, and has a beauty of [conflict] intertwined.
The appearance is high, and it is very easy to use. I can see that the rim of the bowl is turned outwards, and the water flows out smoothly; the cover is high, the handle is comfortable, the whole body is light, the bowl is thin and delicate, the heat dissipation is fast, and it is not easy to burn. The bottom bracket has a hollow design, which should not be knocked over. The small and exquisite bowl body is particularly easy to use compared to ordinary bulky large bowls.
In the history of porcelain making for thousands of years, whether it is the quiet sweet white or the dust-free azure, it seems that it is hard to be astonishing at the first glance with a touch of red. The coral red is even more unique. It is red and orange, like a bright color in the silent and cold winter.
