What is the difference between a fully handmade pot and a semi handmade pot

The difference between the full manual and semi-manual of the popular science purple clay pot.

Handmade pots and semi-handmade pots are two common crafts in ceramic production. The differences between them are:

How to make: The handmade pot is completely handmade, and the production process relies entirely on manual skills and experience. Semi-handmade pots, on the other hand, are made through molds or group beating machines, but some of the production processes need to be processed and adjusted by hand.

Quality of the finished product: Since the handmade pot is completely handmade, there will be some small irregularities or flaws in the production process, which is also one of the characteristics of handmade products. The semi-handmade pot can ensure the consistency of shape, size, appearance and other aspects in the production process, and the quality of the finished product is relatively more stable.

Production time and cost: Since handmade pots need to be made by hand, the production time is relatively long, and the production cost is also high. Semi-handmade pots are made by molds or machines, and the production time and cost are relatively low.

In general, handmade pots and semi-handmade pots have their own advantages and disadvantages and scope of application, and the choice of which process method mainly depends on the needs and preferences of the maker and the consumer.

First of all, the whole hand and half hand are now the two basic practices of hand-made purple sand in the purple sand, both are classics of art, but one is more traditional and one is closer to the modern, all manual does not use gypsum abrasives to assist molding, completely by the purple sand artist hand patting the mud sheet molding, and semi-manual in the auxiliary molding with the help of a pre-made gypsum abrasive, so that the production of the body cylinder or pot lid and so on more quickly assisted molding.

Handmade purple clay pot: The entire production process of the pot is completed by the artist himself, without the help of any model. The artist can only complete a pot in recent days, from pounding, making the body of the pot, the lid, the button to the 1150 degree 24-hour kiln and other eleven steps.

Generally, all handmade purple clay pots have these traces.

The differences between a full-grip handmade pot and a semi-handmade pot are:

1. The process is different.

The main difference between semi-manual and full manual purple clay pot is the difference in technology, the whole process is mainly based on manual patting, while the semi-manual process is relatively simple, generally with the help of molds to assist molding.

2. The quality is different.

At the same time, the quality of the two is also different, the production process of the handmade purple clay pot is more complicated, the joints of many pot bodies are more exquisite, and the shape made is more beautiful, and after the semi-manual use of tools, the effect of the whole hand can not be achieved in many details.

3. The role is different.

In addition, the effect performance of the two is also very different, the quality level of the handmade purple clay pot is higher, its heat preservation and air permeability are very good, and it can also improve the effect of making tea, but it is very high, and the semi-manual is slightly worse at this point, and it is cheaper than the handmade.

It does not mean that it is completely made by hand, but with the help of tools. Fully handmade is relative to semi-handmade (model).

All manual: refers to the use of tools by patting the body barrel, kneading the pot flow handle, connecting various parts through mud, and finally completing the pot blank after trimming with a bright needle.

Semi-manual: After simply beating the body bucket, put it into the mold, and directly complete the shaping of the body bucket with the help of the mold. The flow knob is also trimmed with the help of the mold, and then the parts are connected with mud, and finally the pot blank is finished by trimming with a bright needle.

The difference between semi-manual and fully handmade purple clay pots: different quasi-type processes, different production processes, and different uses.

1. Quasi-type process: semi-handmade purple sand pots mainly rely on gypsum molds to quasi-shape, while fully handmade purple sand pots mainly rely on the eyes and hands of craftsmen to quasi-shape, and the two are completely different.

2. Production process: semi-manual is placed in the mold for refurbishment, the force comes from the inside, and the full manual is the shaping force from the outside. It is relatively difficult to make a handmade pot, which requires a lot of time and energy, and it also tests the craftsmanship of the pot maker.

3. Use: The semi-handmade purple sand pot will not have sand particles to gather on the inner side because of the force, and the air permeability will be worse than that of the handmade purple sand pot. Therefore, making tea is generally handmade.

Types of purple clay pots

According to the process, the purple clay pot can be divided into five categories: bare pot, flower and fruit pot, ribbed pot, square pot and pottery pot. The light pot uses the production process of lines and inscriptions, while the flower and fruit pot is the production process of carving, the ribbed pot is the production process of printing plates, and the pottery pot is the process of oil painting.

According to the industry, it can be divided into flowers, light goods, square goods, flowers are generally made with relief techniques, and the purple sand produced is full of life. The purple clay pots of the light goods are square, the surface is smooth and there is no pattern, and the cross-section of the square goods is very flat, requiring the body and texture of the pot to achieve a whole.

According to the shape, it can be divided into geometric shapes, natural shapes and ribbed shapes, and geometric shapes generally have squares, circles, and ovals. The natural shape is generally selected from the natural melon, tree, bamboo as the basis of modeling, and the surface of the ribbed shape must be textured, the common ribbed type is Heling pot, Fengju pot and so on.
