Some collectors call "Fuguihong" "living heritage", which reflects the reality that ceramics of art is being touted by those collectors who understand it .
There are profound reasons contributing to that! The most important one is the shortage of the artistic ceramic material resources , and in the long run,there will be further serious scarcity, resulting in the value of ceramic to rise again.
Dehua porcelains are world-famous, and this is first and foremost due to its high-quality clay resources,which can be ranked on the top . Dehua clay possesses fine pure quality, high whiteness and good plasticity, bonding property, fire resistance and other physical and chemical properties, and it often takes on jade luster under high temperature -- that is, "white as snow, smooth as jade."
Therefore,an excellent clay is a precious resource, but unfortunately, due to more than a thousand year's mining, Dehua clay has become increasingly scarce. Apart from that, as Dehua government has put more emphasis on the environment in recent years, random deforestation is not allowed, leading to a sharp drop in Dehua porcelain clay resources and a steady rising of the price.
As to the high-temperature ceramic glaze on the surface of the porcelain body, sometimes cetain special elements can be added to the glaze in the hope to burn out particular colors. Famous porcelains "Fuguihong" has jade-like matrix and pure red glaze .(Note: It is this unique high-temperature red that has filled a big gap in ceramic lineage, unlocking the secret of the world ceramics' Goldbach's Conjecture") The secret of "Fuguihong"s success is the adding of expensive rare metal Tantalum -- no wonder CCTV 2 "Treasure Authenticating" only selected "Fuguihong" as the representative of modern porcelain and the experts gave it high evaluation .
When it comes to selection, professional porcelain collectors will first of all see whether it is a high-temperature glazed porcelain or not because the matrix can be jade-like only when it is created through the 1200 degrees high-temperature sintering. However, firing at the thousands of degrees of temperature may easily lead to problems like limp embryos, twist, color changes, bubbles, cracks ... ...
"Fuguihong" s firing temperature is above 1300 degrees - this is the main reason for its low yield and this also helps to explain the saying "few survive after being fired in the kilns,so it is a rare treasure if it really survives.”
"Fuguihong" s special shape or style can't be made at only one attemp, it has to go through a complicated process of biscuit firing, glaze firing, braised, gilt burning, etc.
Since ancient times, there are counterfeit collections, for non-professional collectors, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is the high-temperature ceramic or whether it is a true masterpiece or not-- so the simplest and most assured solution is to purchase porcelains in famous brand hall. Only by doing so can you be guaranteed to be foolproof and be able to eliminate the possibility of being fooled!
For the benefits of collectors ,"Fuguihong" has done a detailed comprehensive basic work: the unique "birth certificate", the autographed collection cards, strict global uniform price, and so on ... ... because of the good image and reputation, "Fuguihong" s exhibition halls everywhere were awarded by Dehua Government as Dehua Porcelain Marketing Centres.
Many collectors felt amazed that "Fuguihong" was not only a good treasure for investment and art appreciation, but also a art collection foe family members to pass down -- meanwhile, it can be an ideal gift option .v
