During the Ming Dynasty, tobacco began to be introduced into China (“Tobacco has not been heard since ancient times, when it was near the Ming Dynasty, and it was between the vast and the vast, and the land was planted in the post-Wu Chu soilâ€, Zhang Jiebin’s “Jing Yue Quan Shuâ€), so the smoking utensils gradually Produced and developed. In the process of circulation, dry smoke has become the most popular smoking method for the people. The dry tobacco smoking utensils are composed of cigarette holders, tobacco rods, tobacco pots and cigarette bags. The cigarette holder, also known as the cigarette holder, refers to the cigarette holder of the dry smoke in the collection market. Because tobacco does not burn directly in the mouthpiece, the mouthpiece is widely used, including bamboo and wood corners, jade metal and so on. Among them, the agate material cigarette holder is especially popular for its beautiful texture and various patterns.
Generally, agate cigarette holders can be divided into two categories: plain and machine. Plain-faced cigarette holders are more common, generally cylindrical or shaped with light. The plain cigarette holders are usually agate with a relatively clean background. Since the economic value of ordinary plain agate cigarette holders is relatively low, it is often used in the market. Take a purely plain plain agate cigarette holder and convert it into a sculpt for other shapes. However, if there is a rock sugar bottom material or a natural pictographic pattern, there is also a charm. Especially in the form of rock sugar and pictographic pattern is more rare. The above picture shows a agate cigarette holder with the theme of natural pattern. The craftsman designs the natural crepe into a winter scent by cutting the material just right. In which the artistic conception can be said to not be artificially carved.
Due to the limitations of the model, the agates that are employed are mainly embossed. Although the carving method seems to be single, the specific appreciation is also very different. The most common eagle is to apply the embossed pattern directly, not much to consider, this situation is more common on the single color agate. Liu Hai opera Jin Yu embossed shape cigarette holder, its carvings are not considered to have a pretty color or follow the shape, relying on craftsmen to use the skill to directly paint the image of the embossed figure, Liu Hai characters are full of design, face and peace, the whole is full of good colors.

The crafted agate cigarette holder is also the artistic value and the highest collection value of the number of agate carving cigarette holders. In the meantime, it is also divided into several high-and-low-grade techniques. The common sculpt is a simple color treatment with some color spots on the material. The pattern is basically integrated with the body of the cigarette holder. The lotus leaf embossed shape is only The use of agate stains in the lotus leaf carving techniques used a pretty color technique.
The other is also more common is to preserve the stone skin in the material and emboss it. This technique makes the main pattern stand out, and the pattern looks a little three-dimensional. The yellow-skinned cigarette holder is made of natural yellow stone skin and matching with the background color to highlight the shape of the dragon.
Among the beautifully carved agate cigarette holders, the highest grade is the use of agate natural color for silhouette relief. This first requires that the agate itself is relatively clean, and the color superimposed on it should be more uniform. By engraving the color in this superimposed color, the engraved pattern shows a silhouette-like effect. The agate cigarette holder of this process requires the highest technical and material requirements, and the price is also the most expensive. If the red or yellow color is used as the base color, the economic value is higher. The Liuhai opera Jinxie pattern cigarette holder is such a typical representative. The red part of the agate is processed and portrayed. The whole composition figure, the gold plaque and the money string are all dynamic, just like a paper-cut custom year-old picture.
