Zhao Tianming and the others had just walked out not far when a familiar voice came from behind them.

He turned his head to take a look and found that it was an acquaintance, and it was the seventh master who went to Longhu to watch the strange stones last time.

"When did Elder Liu arrive?" Zhao Tianming couldn't help but ask in surprise. After all, this is a black market, and it is really surprising that people of Liu Lao's status will also participate.

Liu Lao smiled and said, "It should be a little earlier than you, and the harvest just now is not small!"

He saw the scene when Zhao Tianming bought the porcelain jar, and he felt that the porcelain jar was a little familiar, but he didn't bother Zhao Tianming. Now I want to catch up, just to see if it's the treasure I think in my heart.

Zhao Tianming introduced Ye Qiushuang to Liu Lao, and then modestly said that he was making a small fuss.

Ye Qiushuang actually knew Liu Lao, but Liu Lao didn't know her. I met this old man at a treasure appreciation exchange meeting, and Liu Lao was a heavyweight expert specially invited by the organizer. Unexpectedly, I was quite familiar with Zhao Tianming.

She thought to herself: No wonder that kid is so good at appreciating treasures!

"Can you let me take a second look?" asked Elder Liu.

The treasure that can make this old man pay attention, Ye Qiushuang was slightly surprised, is it a heavy treasure? This is the gap between abilities, he is also present, but he just has eyes and does not know the treasure.

Zhao Tianming hesitated for two seconds before taking it out of his bag, his movements a little cautious.

Liu Lao took it cautiously, turned it over, and saw the word "sky" at the bottom, and his heart suddenly beat wildly.

Observe the whole piece of porcelain again, the jar is short and straight-necked, the shoulders are full, the shoulders are gradually converging, the feet are circled, and the lid is flat and the top is without buttons. Outside the can, the bucket color pattern is decorated: the shoulders and near the feet are decorated with banana leaf patterns, the abdomen is decorated with seawater double dragon patterns, and the top of the lid is decorated with seawater dragon patterns.

The carcass of this device is delicate and white, the glaze is smooth and smooth, and the red, green and yellow colors are matched, and the harmony is bright. The color and pattern of the can lid and the can body are different, and they are matched in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

"Old man, is this porcelain jar very precious?" Ye Qiushuang couldn't help asking.

Liu Lao observed for a while, then raised his head and answered Ye Qiushuang's question: "Yes! It is very valuable, there are only more than ten pieces in the world." ”

Ye Qiushuang was shocked, there are only more than ten pieces in the world, even people who don't know how to do it can guess that it is definitely a rare treasure! However, such a treasure was once in front of her eyes.

"More than a dozen, what kind of treasure?" her eyes widened.

Liu Lao looked at Zhao Tianming: "Xiao Zhao, you should know, right?"

Zhao Tianming pretended to be uncertain and said: "I know some, I don't know if it's correct!"

"Oh, tell me about it!" Liu Lao didn't think that this kid was not sure enough, these few times he picked up leaks, he knew this guy's strength, and he was definitely not a vegetarian.

"First of all, this is Chenghua Doucai, right?" Zhao Tianming said.

Doucai, also known as "teasing color", is a firing method of porcelain, which is a decoration method produced on the basis of blue and white and glaze color, fired into blue and white at high temperature, and then filled with materials, and then completed by firing in the kiln for the second time. The combination of light blue and white and glaze painting makes doucai a fine porcelain product.

"Doucai, I thought it was pastel!" Ye Qiushuang observed carefully.

After hearing this, Old Man Liu shook his head with a smile: "The pastel color should be better looking and fresher!"

"So I thought it was pastel porcelain from a folk kiln, so it wasn't very valuable. Ye Qiushuang only found out now that he had made a mistake from the beginning.

Pastel porcelain is in addition to enamel color, another color porcelain created by the Qing court. Arsenic-containing foundation is applied to the burned tire glaze, and the pigment is applied and washed off with a pen, and the color is pulverized due to the emulsion effect of arsenic.

It is a new variety of glaze color created on the basis of Kangxi Wucai and under the influence of enamel color production technology, which was first seen in the late Kangxi period and became popular in the later dynasties.

"They are painted in different ways, so to speak, the pastel porcelain is more finely done, and the appearance is more beautiful. Zhao Tianming said.

Pastel porcelain should first outline the outline of the pattern on the white porcelain fired at high temperature, and then use arsenic-containing glass white as the base, and then apply the pigment to this layer of glass white, and use a clean pen to gently wash the color according to the different shades of light, so that the petals and the people's clothes have a sense of light and shade. Liu Lao nodded appreciatively.

I came so early, I didn't expect such a precious treasure to pass by him.

Therefore, luck is also very important in this line of work. No matter how strong your ability is, if you are unlucky, if you can't meet a good baby, you can only envy and hate.

Due to the opaque effect of arsenic, the glass white has a feeling of opacity, and after the fusion of various colors, it produces a powdering effect, the red color becomes pink, the green color becomes light green, the yellow color becomes light yellow, and other colors also become opaque light tones, and the amount of its addition can be controlled to obtain a series of different shades of hue, giving people a sense of powder and softness, so this glaze color is called "pastel".

To put it bluntly, Doucai is to use underglaze blue and white to outline the outline of the pattern, and then use red, yellow, green, purple and other colors on the glaze to fill in the outline line, and bake it by the furnace fire, so that the underglaze blue and white and overglaze color are combined together to compete with each other.

In addition, many people will not be able to recognize the color and the color. Liu Lao said with a smile.

He explained that the so-called five colors are not five colors, but the meaning of multiple colors.

The painting method is roughly the same as that of Doucai. It is also made by applying various pigments to the fired porcelain and then baking it over a furnace fire.

The difference is that the glaze of Doucai is mostly underglaze blue and white, outlining the outline line of the pattern, and then filling the contour line with color materials. This is not the case with Wucai, which is not only used to outline the outline line, but also painted in whole or part of the pattern, and often uses brownish-black or brownish-red instead of blue-and-white as the line drawing of the pattern.

In addition, there is also a kind of multicolored porcelain that does not use blue and white as a line drawing, but directly glazes white porcelain with color. The color is composed of yellow, red, green, purple, blue and other colors.

"Then what era is this bucket color?" Ye Qiushuang asked.

Doucai first appeared in the Ming Dynasty, especially during the Ming Dynasty, which was the most glorious era of Doucai. Later, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China also had a large number of imitations.

Kang, Yong, Qianguan kiln have some imitation of Chenghua Doucai products, especially in the Yongzheng period has been able to confidently imitate the firing of Chenghua Doucai, but most of these imitations are signed in the current dynasty or do not fall off, only a few entrust Chenghua money.

"What does Xiao Zhao think?" asked Liu Lao towards Zhao Tianming.

Zhao Tianming still replied in an uncertain tone: "It should be Ming Chenghua Doucai, right?"

"I have to say, your guy's luck is so good, Ming Chenghua Doucai can let you touch it!"

Ye Qiushuang was shocked when she heard this, how could she not know the name of Ming Chenghua Doucai, but this treasure was also under her nose.

"Moreover, it is also a precious variety in the bucket color!"

"What kind of doucai porcelain?" Ye Qiushuang felt that his heart was about to jump out, and he had already vaguely guessed the origin of the porcelain jar in front of him.
