Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ancient transparent enamel, and in particular to a development and production process of ancient transparent enamel. Background Art

[0002] Transparent enamel is a type of metal enamel craft, which is made by covering a hammer-shaped metal base with transparent or translucent enamel and then firing it.

[0003] Chinese invention with application number CN202311276568.1 and publication (announcement) date: 2023-12-26: A process for producing a chiseled body filled with high-temperature hard transparent enamel discloses a process for producing a chiseled body filled with high-temperature hard transparent enamel, and proposes a process and flow for producing hard transparent enamel filled with enamel in a chiseled body.

[0004] However, the invention only proposes a production process for engraved bases, that is, making enamel by making an enamel base with a shading, and does not mention the production process for non-engraved bases; at the same time, the production process for engraved bases in the application can also be optimized.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to further inherit and develop the transparent enamel craft, a development and production process of ancient enamel is needed. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes a development and production process of ancient transparent enamel, including a chiseling process and a non-chiseling process, including the following steps:

[0007] 1. Chiseling process

[0008] (1) Making a chisel: Imprint the desired pattern on the chisel, and then carve the pattern on the chisel for engraving.

[0009] (2) Color selection: Select the most similar color from the enamel color palette and the one with the most suitable viscosity.

[0010] (3) Prepare the base: The red copper base used in cultural relics can be used to make modern artworks. The base can be made of red copper, silver or 24K gold. The thickness of the base should not exceed 2 mm.

[0011] (4) Engraving the base: After the base layer is engraved, fix the base body and use an arc chisel to carve a deep fish-scale texture with uniform texture and consistent thickness. For common fish-scale engraving, use a chisel to engrave evenly. The scale should be as deep and uniform as possible. Unevenness will lead to inconsistent surface reflection, affecting the appearance.

[0012] (5) Making a gold or silver sheet decorative layer: Use the chisel made in step 1 to carve a corresponding shape on a gold sheet or a silver sheet. The thickness of the gold or silver sheet decorative layer shall not exceed 1 mm.

[0013] (6) Firing the first layer of glaze: Firing a layer of enamel glaze, filling it evenly to cover all gaps, and not too thick.

[0014] (7) Pasting gold and silver sheet layer: Add a gold and silver sheet decorative craft layer, and stick the previously made gold and silver sheets on the enamel layer with enamel glue.

[0015] (8) Covering with a transparent enamel layer: On the gold and silver layers, transparent glazes of different colors are applied according to patterns and then fired.

[0016] (9) Covering with transparent layer: Fill the transparent enamel glaze evenly and fire it to form a transparent layer.

[0017] Preferably, enamel material can be dotted on the surface layer of gold and silver flakes, which is generally translucent, so that the underlying gold and silver flakes can be seen through the paint at a glance; the specific steps, for example, if the gold flakes are flowers or leaves, then a little transparent red material is dotted on the stamens of the flowers, and green material is dotted on the leaves, not all of them are covered, this is the difference, step 7 is to cover them all.

[0018] 2. Non-chisel process

[0019] (1) Making a chisel: Imprint the desired pattern on the chisel, and then carve the pattern on the chisel for engraving.

[0020] (2) Color selection: Choose the most similar enamel color palette with the most suitable viscosity.

[0021] (3) Selection of base material: The red copper base used in cultural relics can be used to make modern artworks. The base material can be red copper, silver or 24K gold. The base material should not be too thick and should not exceed 2mm.

[0022] (4) Making a gold or silver sheet decorative layer: using the chisel made in step 1 to chisel out a corresponding shape on a gold sheet or a silver sheet, the thickness of the gold or silver sheet decorative layer being no more than 1 mm;

[0023] (5) Firing the first layer of glaze: Firing a layer of enamel glaze, filling it evenly, covering all gaps, and not too thick; for non-engraved bodies, opaque glaze needs to be used when firing the first layer.

[0024] (6) Splicing the gold and silver decorative layers: Splice the finished gold and silver decorative layers together. If the first layer of decoration is silver, the second layer should be gold. Fix it on the enamel layer with enamel glue and then fire it.

[0025] (7) Firing the second layer of glaze: The second layer of glaze needs to be fired with an opaque material, evenly filling the entire surface and firing to ensure that the bottom layer of silver does not fall off during firing.

[0026] (8) Covering with transparent layer: Fill and fire the translucent enamel glaze.

[0027] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are:

[0028] The present invention proposes two production processes of transparent enamel, namely, chiseled and non-chiseled. The two processes are used in the production of the body, thereby further improving the ornamental quality and artistry of the produced transparent enamel.

[0029] Advantages of the chiseling process: the underlying chiseled texture can be seen through the translucent glaze layer, giving a feeling of metallic luster and the glass luster of enamel complementing each other.

[0030] Advantages of non-engraved technology: adding glaze layer by layer, the finished product has a richer sense of layering. Compared with the engraved technology, the non-engraved technology is more difficult to operate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
