石破天谈紫砂:紫砂入门知识之石瓢壶

Shi Potian talks about Zisha: the stone ladle pot of Zisha introductory knowledge

The stone ladle pot is a traditional classic shape of purple sand. Tracing back to the history, there are relevant materials and physical evidence. During the Qian and Jia years of the Qing Dynasty, there were many famous masters in the past, but each had a different style. There are mainly high stone ladles, short stone ladles, and Ziye stone ladles, all of which are popular. Take Gao Shipiao as an example to talk about its modeling characteristics.

Gao Shipiao is simple in shape, simple and generous, dignified and stable, strong in the middle, solid and harmonious. The shape of the pot is formed by combining two parabolas, one is the corner from the mouth to the bottom, and the other is the corner from the center of the bottom to the bottom. The two parabolas are slightly different, but they should be used properly and combined just right, and they will feel firm but soft, gentle and strong. Although the cover is a flat cover, it has a middle height and a lower circumference in essence, with a gap of one millimeter between the middle and the edge; the thickness of the cover plate line should be just right, the line should be round and smooth, the lower side should be tightly combined with the mouth, and the handover between the upper side and the cover surface should be smooth; It is also necessary to highlight the roundness and strength of the cover line.
The (button) of the bridge on the cover is the most critical point. The height and span must have a proportional shape, which varies greatly. Every detail should be grasped: the center of the bridge is the narrowest part, slowly extending to both sides to the cover, especially the joint with the cover should form an ellipse, but it is not the whole, but a two-thirds ellipse; the bridge and The junction of the cover should be bright and dark, which can be seen clearly but not obvious; the joint between the inner hole and the cover turns slowly and evenly, and the inner hole is also two-thirds of an ellipse, echoing the bridge; the two sides of the bridge are symmetrical, The handling method is difficult and requires patience to achieve.

The spout is called a straight dark mouth. First of all, pay attention to the appropriate proportion of length, thickness and thickness, which is natural and cannot be the slightest difference. From the mouth to the body of the pot, it gradually thickens, as if born from the body of the pot. It is straight about 1 cm to the end of the mouth, but it looks a little trumpet-shaped, which is an illusion of vision. The angle of the mouth is just right, the surface should be flat, the inner hole should be round, and the inner diameter of the mouth should be the smallest as the water outlet goes inward, so that the force of the water outlet is strong and it is not easy to salivate.
The handle of the pot should be symmetrical with the mouth, and the inside and outside should be smooth and smooth triangular lines, and the combination of the head and the pot body should be the same as the mouth, which is natural and smooth. (The cross-section of the handle has an outer circle and an inner flat like a triangle with a round head). It is comfortable to hold and use. Tasting tea and life!

The three feet at the bottom of the pot are called Go feet, which are shaped like Go pieces. The combination of the feet and the bottom surface is clear and neat, and the position of the three feet is an equilateral triangle.
In the industry, Shipiao is a shape that can never be broken (there are also balls, imitation drums, and only, etc.). It means that these shapes are very popular with connoisseurs, and they are still highly respected after hundreds of years, and may continue to be.
