Chapter 315: Folk Treasure Appreciation (4)

As mentioned above, Tang Sancai was introduced, which was a kind of pottery that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, with yellow, white, and green as the basic glaze colors, and later people used to call this kind of pottery "Tang Sancai". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's feudal society, the economy was prosperous, the culture and art were full of beauty, Tang Sancai is a kind of painted pottery handicrafts produced during this period, it is known for its vivid and realistic shape, bright color and rich life.

Now in front of Professor Tian Fan this Tang Sancai, is a three-color Bactrian camel figurine, nearly one meter high, hanging with a piggyback decorated with animal face decoration, silk and kettle are also placed in place, it leads the neck and opens its mouth, its hind limbs are erect, and its front legs are slightly bent, as if it has just risen straight from the lying position, looking up to the sky and hissing, ready to embark on the journey back to the west, and the shape is extremely majestic and magnificent.

Looking carefully at this neighing camel, Zhuang Rui was in a trance, as if he saw the noisy east and west markets in Chang'an City, and the smiling orchids in the wine alley next to the post station spread out beside you, as if he was in the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, feeling the legend of the exotic and the East.

Jin Fatzi and Sun Lao and others, were also shocked by this Tang Sancai camel, this Sancai work is not only bright figurines, bright glaze, and exquisite and accurate shape, more importantly, on the bright glaze of the Sancai camel, there are many tiny openings, like a small crack.

This kind of opening is mainly caused by the shrinkage ratio of the tire and the glaze is not very consistent, the shrinkage of the tire is relatively small, and the shrinkage of the glaze is relatively large, so that in the process of firing, when it is cooled, then the glaze will shrink, so on the surface of the glaze, this crack will be formed.

After Tang Sancai unearthed more, this kind of opening has become a very significant feature of the identification of Tang Sancai glaze, of course, later generations of skilled counterfeiters, will definitely do tricks in this regard.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think of this object?"

Tian Fan knew that among the few people present, Sun Lao was playing miscellaneous things, and he was no stranger to Tang Sancai, as for Jin Fatzi and others, I am afraid that they didn't know much, so after everyone took a cursory look, he asked Sun Lao.

Sun Lao took a twenty-fold magnifying glass, looked at the opening carefully for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't see this object, from the opening piece, it is a sesame piece, not like it was formed by imitating the potassium permanganate solution, but this object is too perfect, I can't take it ......for sure."

The sesame slices mentioned by Sun Lao refer to the natural cracking of Tang Sancai pottery after being eroded by groundwater and acid and alkaline substances in the soil.

Counterfeiters often use chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid and potassium permanganate to corrode and dye the glaze of the utensils, and then leave it for a period of time, the "opening" of the glaze will become obvious, but the traces of cracking appear very wide, not as fine as the natural opening.

This three-color camel, whether from the glaze modeling, or the opening piece, is undoubtedly genuine, but it is too perfect, more than a three-color camel in the Palace Museum, whether it is Professor Tian Fan or Old Man Sun, they dare not jump to conclusions.

"Mr. Tian, I once listened to a lesson you gave about the characteristics of Tang Sancai ware and the identification of knowledge, and then after seeing this work, I bought it, and also looked for some people to see, all said that it was genuine, today I take this opportunity, please also help identify it. ”

The owner of this Tang Sancai camel is a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly fat, with a Chinese face, even in front of all experts, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and it seems that he should be a person with a bit of status.

"Mr. Liu is a member of our Jinan Collection Association, and also the chairman of Tianx Food Co., Ltd., he is very keen on collecting, and has been a guest ...... in our collection of the world's column group."

The male host of Shandong TV introduced the origin of the treasure holder to Zhuang Rui and others, which also indirectly explained that the other party has the financial resources to collect this kind of precious antiques.

"Mr. Liu, since you are an insider, I will take the liberty of asking, how did you receive this Tang Sancai camel?"

Antique appraisal work, not only from the cultural relics themselves, but also to investigate the origin of their inheritance, like some precious cultural relics, are unearthed from the major tombs, even if it is stolen and excavated antiques, but also will circulate the stolen objects and quantity.

This boss Liu didn't seem to be afraid to talk about the origin of this object, and said generously: "Hehe, this three-color camel was seen by me at a friend's private party, and I liked it at the time, so I bought it......"

"Gathering?" Zhuang Rui muttered in a low voice, it should be an exchange activity organized by some Tibetan friends, right?

"It's the black market. ”

General Manager Qian, who was sitting next to Zhuang Rui, covered the microphone with his hand and said in a low voice.

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, because all of a sudden, he thought of the three-color horse he saw on the grassland black market, which was also imitated and almost seamless, and was bought by the wronged Japanese at a high price.

After this thought rose in Zhuang Rui's heart, it was like a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't say it, so he could only use his aura to check it again, while several people were talking, Zhuang Rui walked to the table of the three-colored camel and looked down.

"Mr. Liu, how much did you spend when you found this object?"

The fat man Jin who was sitting next to Professor Tian asked, this is also what must be asked in the process of identifying items, especially such a perfect three-color work, the person who made the sale would never say that the price was too low.

"400,000 RMB, I feel like it's worth the money. ”

Seeing that several experts were not sure about the authenticity of their collection, Chairman Liu also felt a sense of pride in his heart.

It is said that the price at which he bought this Tang Sancai is not much different from the Sancai antiques auctioned in the regular auction houses in China.

In fact, these friends have entered a misunderstanding, Tang Sancai was recognized, the earliest in foreign countries, in the eighties, the price reached its peak, in December 1989, by Sotheby's London launched Tang Sancai pottery Malaysia, with 49.55 million Hong Kong dollars set a record for the highest price of Chinese art auctions, maintained for 12 years, the limelight is unparalleled.

However, due to the impact of fake things on the market, many people were deceived, and their confidence in Tang Sancai became insufficient, and then the price of Tang Sancai in the international market fell rapidly.

In recent years, most of Tang Sancai's works auctioned in the international market are priced at around hundreds of thousands of US dollars, while in China they are lower, even if they are some fine products, the price is also fluctuating around hundreds of thousands to millions of RMB.

It can be seen that if this Tang Sancai camel is real, Boss Liu's business is still profitable.

"Brother Jin, Brother Sun, I think this object should be real, it is estimated that it was stolen from which Tang tomb, what is your opinion?"

After thinking for a while, Professor Tian expressed his opinion, a few years ago, tomb robbery was a common practice, and it is difficult to guarantee that some fine products will be lost, and the treasure holder in front of him also explained the source of the thing, which was auctioned from the black market, and all kinds of signs indicate that this three-color camel is very likely to be genuine.

"Fake, this Tang Sancai camel is a modern imitation!"

Before the fat man and the others could answer, Zhuang Rui, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head from the table and said categorically.

"Oh, how can you see it?" Professor Tian saw that Zhuang Rui said so surely, and knew that he should have seen a clue.

"Teacher Zhuang, what you say is fake, there should always be a basis, right? I don't care about hundreds of thousands of yuan, if it's true or false, it should be regarded as a lesson, but where is the fake, please point it out. ”

Although Chairman Liu did not burn as much as that woman, he was also sharp-witted, since you said it was false, well, come up with evidence.

Zhuang Rui frowned when he heard this, the reason why he said it was fake was because in this three-colored camel, there was not the slightest aura existing, and Zhuang Rui had seen thousands of antiques now, more or less all of them were aura.

So Zhuang Rui can be sure that this three-colored camel must be a fake, but if it is somewhere, with his understanding of Tang Sancai, he really can't make up any reason.

"Well, of course, there is a basis for this......"

Zhuang Rui circled the three-colored camel again, and checked it from beginning to end with aura, wanting to find something different, suddenly, his eyes widened, and in an instant, his face showed an incredible expression, but because Zhuang Rui's head had been lowered, he was not seen.

"Fuck, this kind of thing can be mass-produced?!"

The reason why Zhuang Rui was so shocked was because when he saw the bent and raised front hooves of this three-colored camel, he was shocked to find that there was actually a Xu character on the inner wall of the front hoof, which was exactly the same as what he saw on the grassland black market.

Zhuang Rui is now admiring this fake person, and he has made a three-color horse, not to mention, there is a three-color camel, you know, the fake is also of high and low grade, and it has to be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

In the case of this three-color camel, I am afraid that the technology and soil used are in accordance with the Tang Dynasty three-color firing procedures, even if you do carbon 14 may not be able to detect it, such a perfect imitation process, the cost should be more than 100,000 yuan, the founder of the three-color camel, is definitely a master in the fraud industry.
