Cultural Value and Manufacturing Method of Glaze Crafts
China is one of the earliest glass producing areas in the world. But for a long time. Glass art seems to be forgotten in China. This technology has not been passed on. The success of modern glazed techniques is the glory of the nation. Since then, Chinese colored glaze has become one of the international art.
Glaze is a valuable craft art. Its price is higher than crystal. There are three reasons:
1. The particularity of ancient glazed materials. And its process is extremely complex and difficult. Therefore, its cost is very high.

Making method of colored glass handicraft
The raw materials for producing colored glass are crystalline glass containing 24% lead. So the melting point only needs more than 800 degrees. At this time, silica can flow freely like maltose. Crafts of various shapes can be formed after cooling.
There are 47 processes before and after the whole dewaxing process. Each process can let you discard your previous achievements. For example. How to ensure that the glass is filled with all the details of the mold: barbs, circles, right angles. The thickness of each part of each piece of glass is different. The coefficient of expansion is different. When cooling. Tearing occurs in each part. It breaks easily. Generally, the success rate is only 40-60%. Because the colored glass flows in a semi liquid state. There is great uncertainty. It can be said that no two glazed products are exactly the same. Every piece is a "orphan". A perfect glass work depends on design and technology. It also depends on luck.
At present, colored glaze can be mainly divided into two fields. First, handicrafts. It mainly provides various business gifts. In addition, it includes jewelry market and business gift market. Later, it entered the tourist souvenir, building materials market and collection market, often with the improvement of glass production technology. The space for the development of colored glass combined with other materials and products will become wider and wider. The second is the engineering glaze market. Mainly in the field of decoration and building materials.
Through our introduction, we believe that you have a deeper understanding of the cultural value and production methods of colored glass handicrafts, and you can leave a message about other questions.
