Tasting methods:

At the time of manufacture, the artisans' division first puts a white enamel on a dial with a thickness of 1 mm and a diameter of about 30 mm. The material has a very hard texture because of its extremely high melting point. The dial is first fired at a high temperature of about 900 ° C in order to be able to withstand the subsequent furnace firing process.

Craftsmen use the white enamel base as the "background canvas", using a brush made of two or three mink hats to draw out the outline of various patterns and then use the magnification multiple to reproduce the overall atmosphere and emotion of the original paintings in the form of miniature paintings fluctuation. This requires the use of selected colors to finely outline the sequence of precision continuous points, from the more subtle colors to pure bright colors gradually progressive. Ultra-fine powders and pigments used in painted enamels need to be mixed with oils such as lily flowers to improve their ductility. After about 20 times 800 degrees high temperature firing, the final shape of the painting. In these steps, the heat becomes more glassy and gradual in color, becoming more dazzling. The experience of the enameler played a decisive role. The number of firing must be calculated according to the type and quantity of material, and the precise firing time is an important secret kept by craftsmen. Any mistakes can occur before the last process is completed because the enamel is extremely fragile and sometimes difficult to melt and can break each time it is removed from the furnace. Therefore, the cooling process requires the great patience of artisans to avoid fatal damage to the enamel caused by the pressure generated by the sudden drop in temperature.

Any minor mistake can lead to irreparable damage, forcing artisans to start over. The final firing (800 ° C) after the painted enamel process is done, usually with two to three layers of transparent enamel-containing flux to prevent signs of aging on the finished product. Then use whetstone fine grinding and polishing, and then followed by the final vitrification and polishing treatment, giving works dazzling Smart light. Therefore, a good painted enamel table easily millions, it is not surprising.
