Inheritor carries forward colored glaze firing skill
Print Edition
SHAPING, glazing, firing ... After several procedures, the colored glaze handicrafts in the hands of Ge Yuansheng, an 81-year-old man in Taiyuan, gradually glow with dazzling brilliance.
Ge is a representative inheritor of the colored glaze firing skill, which was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. The colored glaze handicraft, with its gorgeous color and delicate shape, has been widely used in houses, palaces, temples and other architecture. Su’s family in Taiyuan is a representative of the skill in north China’s Shanxi Province.
Ge started to learn the skill from Su Jie, a sixth-generation inheritor of Su’s family, in 1979.
The firing skill of peacock blue, the most famous color of Su’s colored glaze, was once lost in history. In order to carry forward the traditional skill, Ge conducted nearly 1,000 experiments over 30 years and made Su’s peacock blue colored glaze regain its vitality.
“The colored glaze firing skill does not fade because of the passage of time,” Ge said.
He hopes more young people can have a deeper understanding on the unique technique.
