Sun Zhongyuan showed a strange expression, "Then do you know that the piercing ear bottle that was photographed on the last shot is fake?"

"There is nothing true or false in this world, if your master didn't put an inner seal back then, you say, is it true or false? All people think it's true, only you think it's false, it's still true. Sui Dongchen gently stroked the ear piercing bottle, "However, I know that this one of mine must be the official kiln built by the Southern Song Dynasty Xiu Neisi, and the five of us unanimously agreed." ”

Sun Zhongyuan suddenly laughed, "Old Sui, anyway, you have one of the real ones, and the other one is really Fei Guess, you didn't expect it to be my master's doing, because he saw your real one, and he should tell you if he made a fake!

Sui Dongchen nodded at Sun Zhongyuan, "Hahahaha······ A few days ago, I was talking to your master about this, and when he heard that it was smashed, he thought it was a pity. ”

"yes. In fact, the greatest value of antiques is nothing more than two points, one is historical, and the other is artistic. What my master made, there is no history, but the artistry is copied, and the inner seal is added, which is also very good to appreciate as high-end antique artworks. However, at that time, you were having a hard time riding a tiger. ”

Sun Zhongyuan paused and continued, "Old Sui, there is one more thing I don't understand, you should have a lot of collections, why do you keep this ear piercing bottle here? ”

"Every year I will come back for a ten day and a half month. As for why only this Southern Song Dynasty official kiln is left, it is because this one is the most precious of all the piercing ear bottles that I know of that have survived. ”

"So, you're particularly fond of ear piercing bottles?"

"That's right, the pierced ear vase was a popular porcelain style in the Song Dynasty. The prototype of this style is actually a pitching pot in the Han Dynasty. Not to mention the beauty of the shape, my favorite is still the name. Sui Dongchen said, "The word "through" is very interesting, the original meaning is rope, and it has always been said that it has always been a copper coin, and then it was extended to the meaning of Tong. It's not easy to keep your ears open!"

"It is said that seeing is believing, hearing is false, and it is really difficult for this ear to be transparent. ”

"That's why I like it. Sui Dongchen put away the ear bottle, "Actually, there is more than this one thing here, there is another one, let's show it to you!"

Sui Dongchen put the ear bottle into the safe and took out a brocade box from it.

This time, Sun Zhongyuan took a special look at the safe, and the first time he didn't look carefully. This time, I saw that there was really nothing else in it.

What can make Sui Dongchen treasure so much, it must not be an ordinary thing.

Open the brocade box, and it's another piece of porcelain!

This is a relatively small plum vase, with a height of less than a dozen centimeters. However, as soon as he put it on the table, Sun Zhongyuan's eyes immediately widened.

Azure glaze!

It is different from the azure glaze at the mouth of the common kiln, and even the azure glaze from the Ru kiln. This azure glaze is not as blue as Ru kiln, nor is it a little deep blue.

It's close to the transparent color of the rain over the azure!

On closer inspection, the formation of this color, in addition to the modulation of the glaze itself, is also due to the relatively thin glaze layer.

It's thin.

The sensation is hard to describe, thin, shiny, and has a moisturizing sensation similar to oil.

If you have seen the glaze kiln of the porcelain master, you will have the experience that it is too difficult to achieve this state! Even if a master makes a thousand pieces, he may not be able to achieve one.

The glaze needs to be extremely delicate, with an azure undertone, and at the same time, it needs to be transparent. Among the natural things, high-end jadeite has such characteristics. We often say seed, water, color, species, refers to the delicacy of the material, water, refers to the transparency of the material, color, refers to the color. There are some jadeites of high species, full water, and positive color, that is, they have both.

However, to artificially concoct this glaze, the technical difficulty is self-evident.

At the same time, even if it is tuned, the difficulty of glazing is another hurdle. The glaze is so thin and so uniform that non-first-class porcelain masters can't do it.

And that's not all, there's one last point.

Burn.

When porcelain enters the kiln, it is a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees, and the change of the glaze must be controlled.

Sun Zhongyuan hadn't looked at the fetal bones yet, and he had been impressed by this azure glaze.

In fact, the glaze of this azure glazed plum vase is not perfect, there are two or three places, small glaze bubbles appeared, and one of them was broken.

Because the glaze is too thin, under high temperature, it can be controlled only in a few places, and the stability of the glaze and the environmental control and temperature control of the porcelain kiln have almost reached the limit of practice makes perfect.

Sun Zhongyuan picked up the plum bottle, which was extremely light. The carcass is also thin, and the quality and purity of the fetal soil is also high.

Gently tap the bottle, the sound is clear and pleasant.

Blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like chime.

If it is ancient porcelain, it seems that only the azure glaze of the firewood kiln can reach this level!

"I've never been sure if it's a firewood kiln ······" Sui Dongchen sighed, "This, your master hasn't seen it before." If the reopening of the elephant tower is imminent today, I showed him a few days ago, and he is not sure. ”

Sun Zhongyuan just examined this plum vase, and also made an in-depth judgment through Baoguang. He lit a cigarette and groaned.

The firewood kiln was fired by Chai Rong and Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong after the Five Dynasties period. Of course, Chai Rong reigned for only five years, and less than half a year after his death, Zhao Kuangyin was added to the yellow robe, and the Northern Song Dynasty replaced Hou Zhou.

Chai Rong is a person who is highly evaluated by many historians. The so-called first Ming monarch of the five generations made great efforts to govern the country, to order the ministers of the court, and to blame the country with justice. It's a pity that he died too early.

It is reasonable that he can preside over the construction of firewood kilns. Speaking of this color alone, the craftsman asked for instructions at that time, Chai Rong waved his pen, and the aesthetics were lonely: the rain passed the sky and the blue clouds**, and the color of the future was made!

Although there is no recognized heirloom in the firewood kiln, it can also be inferred that the firewood kiln seems to have only one glaze color, and that is azure glaze!

The ruins of the firewood kiln have not been found, and it is estimated that after more than 1,000 years, various factors are superimposed, and it is difficult to preserve. The point is that there is no inheritance.

The firewood kiln lasted for a very short time, and why it has not been passed down has become a mystery. There are various theories, some say that only Chai Rong mastered the firing technology, some say that the craftsman stopped firing after Chai Rong's death, and some say that it was completely abolished because Zhao Kuangyin ordered it.

However, the later Ru kiln seems to imitate the shadow of the firewood kiln, but there is still a gap with the legendary firewood kiln.

"My master can't even get it?" Sun Zhongyuan extinguished the cigarette butt and looked at Sui Dongchen.

"Say whatever you want, don't give us old guys face. There are talents from generation to generation, and your eyesight today, to be honest, can be described as better than blue. Sui Dongchen handed over an expectant look.
