Chapter 366 Low-temperature lead-glazed pottery

"I'm also trying to check carefully, is celadon in the Eastern Han Dynasty more valuable than gold?" Mo Xie said with a smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't check this first, it's not too early, let's go out to eat, and check it after eating!" Zhang Xiu Waterway.

Mo Xie thought for a while and said, "No, I can't go out, you go out and call my mother, and don't forget to call the three uncles too!" ”

"Huh? It's rare for you to be selfless and don't regret it? Zhang Xiushui looked at Mo Xie strangely, this kid has always had good things in his pocket, when did he learn to share?

Mo Xie rolled his eyes and said, "Divide the object, this is my uncle's house, can I get rid of their things?" ”

"Okay, I'll call it, you actually learned to melon fields and plums, it's not easy!" Zhang Xiushui walked out with a smile, leaving Mo Ye alone waiting for a piece of cyan.

Looking at these porcelain, Mo Ye's eyes lit up, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, celadon ware had begun to appear, but good celadon is rare, this glaze in Mo Ye's hand is pale cyan, and the texture and heat are in line with the standards of porcelain.

What he took out was a damaged piece of porcelain, in the shape of a wide-mouthed, flat-bellied, flat-bottomed, and presumably a four-series jar.

The same four-series jar was also found in the tomb of the Cao family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, with a bright glaze and pure texture, indicating that the production technology of celadon ware at that time was quite mature.

Moreover, the emergence of celadon is an important innovation in the history of ancient Chinese ceramics, in fact, the Han Dynasty, or before the Han Dynasty, the main thing was pottery, not porcelain.

The highest achievement of pottery in the Han Dynasty can be said to be the production of lead-glazed pottery, and China's glazed pottery was found as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but the production was small.

"Mostly not celadon here?" After studying for a while, Mo Xie found that maybe his judgment just now was wrong, it was not that the glaze was clear and transparent, flat and smooth, the glass was strong, and the glorious thing must be porcelain, maybe pottery.

There are still a lot of pottery found in the Western Han Dynasty, such as after Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, it appeared more in Guanzhong, He@Nan and other places, and the Eastern Han Dynasty popularized the whole country, and the number increased greatly, becoming a very important pottery variety in the Han Dynasty.

This kind of glazed pottery, the carcass is pottery, and the glaze is a glaze with copper and iron oxides as coloring agents and lead oxides as fluxes.

The firing temperature of lead-glazed pottery is low, mostly 700°C, so it is called low-temperature lead-glazed pottery.

The characteristics of lead-glazed pottery are: the melting temperature of the glaze is low, the viscosity is small at high temperature, the fluidity is large, and the glaze after cooling is clear and transparent, flat and smooth, the vitreous is strong, the index is high, the brilliance is shining, and it has a high decorative effect.

Because the firing temperature is low, the carcass is not strong, the lead content in the glaze is high, so it is not a big food vessel, most of them are used for decoration and Ming ware, almost all of them are made of Ming ware in the Han Dynasty, and the shape of the vessel has: Ding, box, pot, warehouse, stove, well, water mill, mill, pavilion, pond and so on.

The success of a large number of lead pottery in the Han Dynasty is not only a major achievement and characteristic of the pottery of the Han Dynasty, creating a precedent for the mass production of low-temperature glazed pottery in China, but also has a far-reaching impact on the production of pottery after the Han Dynasty in China.

"It's really rare, tripods, boxes, pots, warehouses, stoves, wells, water mills, mills, pavilions, ponds, these architectural models and the things inside are low-temperature lead-glazed pottery, and those bottles and jars are celadon, which should be good things!" Mo Ye studied it for a while, and then a smile bloomed on his face.

Compared with gold, pearls, purple gold, and silver, ceramics are actually more valuable, and the longer this thing exists, the more valuable it is.

In addition, the Western Han Dynasty happened to be a leapfrog stage of pottery and porcelain, which made the ceramics of this period more representative, and in this family secret vault, the performance is particularly obvious.

"No matter how good pottery is, it is not as valuable as porcelain, so even the billionaires of ancient times can't make architectural models out of celadon!" Soon, Mo Ye determined this.

Judging from the entire architectural model, although these buildings are magnificent, there are not many real fine celadons.

Through the analysis of a large number of pictures, Mo Ye found that only in a few places will some celadon appear as embellishments.

For example, the damaged four-series jar in his hand, which was placed on the edge of the well, should be regarded as daily-use porcelain, even if it is fired more finely, it is not as exquisite as the celadon in the attic or in the pavilion.

For example, in a small pavilion, there is a set of tea sets, although they are not taken out, but just through the pictures, it gives people a stunning feeling.

Especially the slightly larger teapot, zooming in on the picture, you can also see that the glaze is clear and transparent, and it looks like a pool of clear water.

"There is the most pottery, and there are a lot of celadons, and those white ones are white porcelain!" If it was before the excavation of the shipwreck, Mo Ye would not know how to distinguish porcelain, and now, he can be regarded as half an expert.

If you add in the large amount of information stored inside the super biological detector, then he is an expert.

Therefore, at this time, analyzing the firing architectural model, although the color difference is not small, he can still distinguish whether it is pottery, whether it is porcelain, whether it is celadon in porcelain, or white porcelain.

Celadon is the earliest porcelain in the production of porcelain, and its characteristic is that the glaze color is green, yellow, pure blue and other colors, so it is called celadon.

There are a lot of celadon under Mo Ye's hair, so they show different characteristics, such as some colors are ancient and elegant, and the texture is like ice and jade; Some celadon glazes are mainly azure, showing the softness and clarity of spring water and the abundance of China Resources like jade.

And some celadon glaze layer is as thick as clotted fat, and there are porcelain color blue, different shades, glaze smooth and many broken lines, it can be said that each has its own characteristics.

This is the earliest celadon, the kiln is mainly in Zhejiang @ Jiang's Shang@Yu, Xiao @ Mountain and other places, called Yue kiln celadon.

As early as the early Warring States period, the original celadon produced by the Yue kiln was famous for its delicate fetal system, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was created and fired real porcelain, with celadon as the top grade.

Because its glaze color is clear and transparent, it is like a pool of clear water, so it has the reputation of "thousands of peaks and green colors".

In the Five Dynasties, the Yue kiln porcelain was called "secret color" porcelain, which is said to be due to the fact that King Wu Yue designated the Yue kiln as an official kiln, and the common people were not allowed to use it.

After the Song Dynasty, with the great development of the porcelain industry in the north and south, especially the rise of Jingdezhen, the Yue kiln gradually became a historical relic.

Even if Mo Ye had only studied porcelain for a short time, he had also heard of the Qianfeng emerald color, which was a kind of inheritance that only a masterpiece of porcelain could have.

Now when it comes to the emerald color of thousands of peaks, most people know that it is "celadon".

"The nine autumn wind and dew open the kiln and win the green color of a thousand peaks", this is the famous poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Tortoise Meng, praising the secret color celadon of the kiln.

Enlarged a picture, this is a picture of an attic, and in the interior of the attic, Mo Ye clearly saw a pen holder, a celadon pen holder.

The glaze layer of this pen holder is uniform, the color is like the emerald of the mountains, moist but not transparent, and the blue light is hidden, and the effect of this jade-like is that its quality can be said to be the crown of celadon in the country.

There are very few genuine heirlooms of porcelain of this quality, and now Mo Ye can find some, which is definitely very rare.

"That's what you found?" Just when Mo Xie was looking at the pictures and was happy, Zhang Lingfeng had already come.

"Don't be so nervous, things won't run away again?" Mo Tianming pulled Zhang Lingfeng and said.

"That's it, little sister, don't be afraid, if you find it, you will find it, and if you can't find it, you won't have any regrets!" Zhang Lingyan said.

"This is what came out of the vault? Why is it all? "Zhang Fenglin is no longer in retreat, so he came here this time.

Zhang Fengfu said: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, this is porcelain!" ”

"Haha, big brother, you're wrong, this is pottery!" Zhang Fenglan said.

"Don't talk nonsense, it must be porcelain, the pottery is black and worthless, how can our old Zhang family keep the pottery?" Zhang Lingyun said.

Mo Ye was directly hit by these people and had no temper, of course, Gao Gu porcelain, or ceramics before the Song and Yuan dynasties, were not very valuable.

However, this also depends on what it is, what era of porcelain it is, what kind of porcelain is produced in the kiln, whether it is a cherished variety, and whether it is representative of the times.

Therefore, this batch of celadon and ceramics is still very valuable.

"Didn't find any gold jewelry or anything? Just this mess, how much is it worth? Zhang Fenglin said.

Zhang Fenglan also sighed: "That is, it is impossible for our old Zhang family to treat these broken crockpots as treasures and keep them for thousands of years, right?" ”

"You know what? It's worth breaking your home! Zhang Linghui said.

"This is really a broken family, sister-in-law, you heard your grandfather talk about the secret vault, is there all these things in it?" Zhang Fenglin asked again.

"How do I know? When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that there was a lot of delicious food in it, and now that I think about it, I must have saved a lot of food! Zhang Lingfeng said a little sadly.

"Okay, okay, if there's anything good, let's go in and see?" Mo Tianming said.

"Yes, let's go!" Saying that, Zhang Fenglin wanted to get into the dark cave in front of him first.

"Don't worry, I've cleaned it all up, it should be safe!" Looking at Zhang Lingyun, who wanted to stop him, Mo Xie spoke.

"What if it's not safe? It's a long one! Zhang Xiushui said.

Mo Xie sneered: "How many times have I walked through? The vibration is not weak every time I drive, and it must be safe if it has not collapsed for so long. ”

"Believe Mo Xie, let's go in!" Zhang Lingyun said.

Mo Xie smiled, and walked in first, all the men who came over this time were men from the Zhang family, of course, now Zhang Lingfeng is the daughter-in-law of the Mo family.

Since this is the case, Zhang Xiushui didn't go in, so he watched the door outside.

Mo Ye didn't drive this time, but walked in with them, and in case of a landslide, Mo Ye could still remedy it.

Of course, he didn't want to put his family into the space, but quickly released the support frame to protect them all, this is something that Mo Ye had prepared a long time ago.
