CARP Porcelain Box (M)

CARP Porcelain Box (M)

Feature

Casting:When making square boxes, care needs to be taken to ensure that the lid will fit perfectly and that the hollow part does not cave in after firing. Especially, since the body part of the box tends to shrink inward, it must be casted and trimmed with potential shrinkage taken into account in order to keep it straight after firing.

Glazing: The original paint, which contains no glue, is made by letting tea decompose. It is left intact for about three years until it becomes odorless. The outlines of waves are drawn in black and then it is fired. Green is traced over the black outlines and carefully painted in little by little to make the paint rise higher than its background. It is difficult to express the beautiful gradations of the carps’ red color, so a lot of experience in brush painting skills is required.

Finish

Fired twice in the process of overglazing and finished to bring out the raised edges of the paint.
