I have told you about the decorative process of plane patterns before, and today I will mainly tell you about the three-dimensional carving in the decorative process of silverware.

Sculpture is the art of making three-dimensional images by means of carving, carving, molding, folding, welding, knocking and weaving. It is organically combined with the modeling and decorative patterns of silverware, and is an important part of silverware decorative art. The basic forms of sculpture are generally round carving, relief carving and through carving, which are all used in the decorative art of silverware to varying degrees.

Circular sculpture, also known as three-dimensional sculpture, is a kind of sculpture individual or group that is similar to the object to be represented and occupies the three-dimensional structure of space. There are two main forms of circular sculpture of Yunnan silverware, one is the image of animals and plants attached to silverware, and the other is the circular sculpture of silverware independence. The former is mainly manifested in the top details of the cover and handle of the article, while the latter is more common in silver ornaments or collectibles. The circular carving decoration technology of Yunnan silverware is different from the fine carving technology of Han and Tibetan. It pays more attention to the three-dimensional performance effect rather than deliberately pursuing excessive modification of details, which is a unique style different from other ethnic groups such as Han nationality and Tibetan nationality.

Relief is a kind of sculpture form with only one or two sides for viewing, which usually refers to a sculpture individual or group composed of compressed entities occupying a certain space and relying on one floor. Generally speaking, relief only compresses the thickness of the car body, while the length ratio of the car body floor remains unchanged. According to the compression degree of relief, it can be divided into two types: high and shallow. The high relief is thick and the compression ratio is not big, such as the dragon and tiger bodies on the surface of silverware and some main patterns. Shallow relief shapes the body in a very thin space, almost in the same plane as the bottom plate, and is often used for non-subjective patterns expressed by some silverware.

Through carving, also known as hollow carving, refers to the hollow carving style of removing the bottom plate and expressing more plant themes. This kind of carving decoration is rare in Yunnan silverware, compared with Han silverware.

The difference between round carving, relief carving and general carving

Circular sculpture refers to a kind of uncompressed three-dimensional sculpture that can be appreciated from many directions and angles; After compression, the relief shows three-dimensional space with perspective and other factors, and it is only for one or two sides to watch; Penetration carving is based on relief, generally hollowing out its background, some are single-sided carving, some are double-sided carving. Generally called "hollow flower board", it has a frame, which is a kind of sculpture form between round carving and relief. Also called concave carving, hollow carving or relief.

In the process of making silver pots, relief is the main method, and the pot is twisted or twisted by means of round carving and hollow carving.
