Cloisonné production

Cloisonné production is material cutting, tire making, pinching, sticking silk, point blue, burnish blue, polishing, gilding

1, material cutting

Cloisonné, one of the preparations for the production of cloisonné, is cutting.

2, tire making

Tire making is the first step of cloisonné, first form a certain model. Then, only to be able to carry out the next step. This step is critical, tire type how to determine the overall cloisonné modeling, and its main theme has a direct correlation.

3, pinch wire

The whole copper wire, the use of tools pinched into a section. And then flatten the copper wire, broken into a variety of exquisite patterns, common patterns such as flowers, clouds, geometric patterns, figures or animal patterns.

4, sticky wire

Will get a good pattern of copper, stick directly on the tire. This is the more critical point, cloisonné later pattern, are through these broken copper to do the structure.

5, point blue

With lead, borate, glass powder and other raw materials into the opaque or translucent glossy material, in the tire on the corresponding depiction. In this way, it is possible to make the previous pattern visible.

6, firing blue

Firing blue that is into the kiln firing, using 800 degrees of high temperature fusion, the powdered glaze melting. Firing, there will be uneven surface, need to fill with the same color enamel. It takes two to three or four repeated glaze firings to bring the glaze to the level of the copper wire without any pits.

7, polishing

Put the baked ware into the water, with coarse gravel, yellow stone, charcoal and so on one by one sanding, will be uneven blue glaze smooth, and finally with charcoal, scraper will be no blue glaze of the copper wire, the bottom line, the mouth of the line scraping and polishing.

8, gold-plated

Will be smoothed, polished cloisonné by pickling, decontamination, sand bright, put into the gold-plating liquid in the lees, so that the gold attached to the unglazed metal tire. The purpose of gold plating is to make the metal tire body will not corrode rust, increase the brightness. It can be seen, a cloisonné production process is more complex, more manual to complete, which also led to the value of cloisonné enhancement, presented in front of people for a beautiful product.
