PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support.

Yao change, that is, kiln change, refers to the porcelain glazed and sent to the kiln for firing. In the process of firing, the glaze is subjected to high temperatures, resulting in a kaleidoscopic effect that even the producer cannot grasp. However, after the kiln transformation of porcelain, each piece can be called a unique product, and there is absolutely no repetition of the same.

Of course, the kiln changes at each kiln are different, such as Jun porcelain, which is one of the five famous porcelains of the Northern Song Dynasty. This kind of Jun porcelain does not have any color before entering the kiln, but after firing out of the kiln, it shows a colorful and brilliant color that makes people's hearts shake, which is the so-called one color into the kiln and ten thousand colors out of the kiln.

In addition, the same famous is the Yaobian Tianmu porcelain of the kiln, the preciousness of this porcelain is needless to say, the gorgeous spots on the inner wall of the tea cup in front of you are like the oil droplets in the building of the Tianmu partridge cup. At this time, under the irradiation of the sun, the glaze spots in the tea cup refracted halo-like spots, which seemed to be real and illusory, which made people sigh amazingly.

Seeing this situation, it is no wonder that the shopkeeper insisted that this thing was the legendary Tingyao Tianmu Zhan.

"I've said it many times, this is not Jianzhan, let alone Yaochang Tianmu, and of course it is not Jizhou kiln black glazed porcelain."

When Yan Lao reprimanded, he carefully picked up the tea cup, and admired the color changes of the spots in the cup from different angles, and there were ripples in his eyes: "You should have a long-term vision, don't always pay attention to the one acre and three points of land in the southern kiln, and think about the kiln in the north." ”

"Northern kiln, Zibo kiln?" A shopkeeper said in a stunned voice.

"Ignorance."

Yan Lao reprimanded unceremoniously: "If the Zibo kiln could burn this kind of thing with exquisite skills, thin and firm carcass, deep and dignified black glaze, and gorgeous kiln transformation effect like a peacock's feather, it would have been as famous as Jianzhan a long time ago." ”

Others deeply believe that Zibo kiln has such skills, and they have no reason not to know. Even the site of the kiln mouth has no similar physical evidence unearthed, so this possibility can be directly ruled out.

"Elder Yan, if you know the answer, don't sell it." A shopkeeper hurriedly asked: "It's because we are lonely and uninformed, and we don't have much knowledge, so please give us a lot of advice." ”

The other shopkeepers reacted. They all spoke: "Yes, yes, please give advice to Elder Yan." ”

"Not available."

Yan Lao was busy watching the teacup, and refused without raising his head, but fortunately he was not so ruthless, but said casually: "If you are ambitious, you are not old, and if you don't understand, you can ask those who understand." ”

Several shopkeepers looked at each other, and naturally understood what Elder Yan meant, which was to ask them to ask Wang Guan for advice. Of course, considering Wang Guan's age, they are somewhat unable to pull their faces.

Fortunately, Wang Guan is empathetic. Sensing the embarrassment of a few shopkeepers, he didn't plan to pinch it because everyone was a peer, but smiled directly: "If I'm not mistaken, this teacup should be fixed porcelain." ”

"Dingcai?"

"What's the matter?"

"Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? Is the official decision of Brother Jun Ru? ”

For a moment, several shopkeepers were at a loss, and their eyes were full of suspicion. is not only doubting that he heard wrong, but also doubting whether Wang Guan said something wrong.

You have to know the porcelain. It was one of the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although not all of the five famous kilns are precious porcelain, it is undeniable that the things of the five famous kilns are indeed more precious than ordinary porcelain.

However, in the impression of many people, the porcelain should be thin and shiny. The glaze is pure white and moist. To put it bluntly, Dingci should have inherited the skills of the Tang Dynasty's criminal kiln, firing a large number of white porcelain, only a small amount of ......

"Wait. It's black! ”

Suddenly, a shopkeeper reacted, his face full of excitement: "The color is as black as pitch black." ”

"What?"

"It's really black?"

All of a sudden. The other shopkeepers woke up and immediately remembered. Although the kiln is famous for producing white porcelain, it also burns things like black glaze, sauce glaze and glazed porcelain, and the literature is called black ding, purple ding, and green ding.

Among them, the black set has been handed down in small quantities, and it is also the most expensive and precious thing.

At the same time, some people also questioned: "No, isn't it black as paint, black and translucent, why is there a change mark in the lamp?" ”

"Rare and weird."

Yan Lao slowly put down the teacup and glared, "Don't you know that there are three major categories of Heiding?" The first type is pure black, with a glazed black and bright glaze, which is extremely simple. The second type of glaze has traces of kiln change, or rabbit patterns, or oil droplets, or rust-like colors, etc. As for the third category, it is decorated with gold color, painted with gold lines on the outer wall, and depicted on the inner wall with patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, which are rich in color and look very solemn. ”

Under the guidance of Elder Yan, the shopkeeper suddenly came to his senses, and then raised a new question: "Elder Yan, as far as I know, the black must be the white fetal bones and the glaze is black and shiny. But when I looked at the foot just now, the fetus was pale yellow. ”

"Ignorance."

For a moment, Yan Lao hated him and said: "Since you know that black must be white tire and black glaze, then you should also know that the so-called white tire and white bone are white with a yellowish color." Moreover, the tea cup has been put aside for a long time, and it has been stained with a lot of yellow mud, which is naturally more yellow and turbid. As long as the turbidity is wiped off, you can naturally see the white tire ......"

While speaking, Yan Lao picked up the teacup with both hands and flipped it over, only to see that the cleaned feet had indeed turned a lot whiter, and the firmness of the fetal feet could be clearly seen. As long as the fetal bone is so fine, the wall can be made so thin.

"In addition, you should be aware that unlike the previous porcelain firing, the porcelain is set by the overfiring method. The overburn method has many advantages, such as maximizing the use of vacant space, saving fuel, and preventing deformation of the equipment, thereby reducing costs and greatly increasing output. However, there are also significant drawbacks......"

At this time, Yan Lao put the tea cup on the table, pointed to the mouth of the cup and said: "Now that the things are cleaned, you should also see very clearly, there is a mangkou on the cup, which is a significant feature left by the burning." ”

The so-called over-firing method is to roast utensils such as bowls and plates upside down. In this way, although it is possible to increase the output and reduce the cost, in order to prevent the porcelain from sticking to each other, the edge of the mouth cannot be glazed, and the bone tire must be exposed, so it is called mangkou.

"No wonder Yan Lao touched the mouth of the cup just now, and suddenly talked about the allusion of the white cat and the black lamp." A shopkeeper sighed with a smile: "It turns out that at that time, I knew that this was a black lamp." ”

"You know what?" Yan Lao suddenly sighed and said, "Just now I thought it was just an ordinary black ding, but after the things returned to their original color, I realized that this was actually the official kiln black ding." I knew that I would rather give up an old face and snatch things over. ”

"The official kiln is black!" Others were shocked again.

You must know that Dingci was just an ordinary folk kiln at the beginning, created in the Tang Dynasty, silently absorbed the technology of white porcelain in the kiln, after hundreds of years of accumulation, and then accumulated steadily, and finally began to burn imperial utensils for the court in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, becoming the so-called official kiln. It was from that time onwards that it was ranked alongside Brother Jun Makeup and was known as the five famous kilns.

The people and the official must be distinguished, lest everyone think that the porcelain pieces are high-quality, in fact, there are not very good quality, only the official porcelain is the treasure that collectors of the past generations dream of.

Obviously, Yan Lao thinks that the tea cup in front of him should be an official and former palace item.

"Elder Yan, what is the basis for your words?"

This is not a question, but a very serious inquiry.

"You have to pay attention to the ......" Yan Lao did not cherish himself with a broom, and slowly explained: "It is mentioned in some ancient documents that at the beginning, the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty court did not use porcelain was because of the mang. But later, I don't know whose idea it was, I inlaid gold and silver on the mangkou, which raised the grade, and finally let the court accept the porcelain. ”

"You guys come and feel the edge of the mouth, if there are any subtle traces." Yan Lao pointed out: "This is the imprint left after being inlaid with gold and silver edges for many years. ”

Taking this opportunity, a group of shopkeepers touched the tea cup one after another, carefully feeling the delicate texture and black luster of Heiding porcelain. Then there is no need for Yan Lao to explain it, if such a quality is not official, it is really intolerable.

"Hehe, I finally saw the five famous kiln treasures and famous porcelain."

"I've only seen it in museums before, but now it's the first time I've experienced it up close and been able to get my hands on it."

"Today the magpie fell on the branches and made a lot of money......"

From the snickering laughter of several shopkeepers, it can be known that they did not doubt Yan Lao's judgment at all, but wanted to find an excuse to play and appreciate the Heiding teacup.

"Start to get started, don't get crippled, otherwise you won't be able to afford to sell you all." Yan Lao said sharply, it seemed to be a warning, but it was not a disguised reminder.

At the right time, Hao Baolai cautiously inquired: "Elder Yan, I also know that Dingci is very precious, I don't know how much this Heiding teacup should be worth?" ”

"Always mentioning money, vulgar is unbearable." Elder Yan frowned and said, "Such a rare treasure can't be measured by money at all. Sometimes, even more money can't buy it. ”

Hao Baolai suddenly smiled awkwardly, somewhat disappreciative in his heart. He felt that there was definitely nothing in the world that could not be bought with money, but it was just a matter of more money and less money.

"Brother Hao, don't believe it. Yan Lao is right, such a treasure cannot be bought even if there is money, because there is no such treasure in the market. Gao Dequan smiled: "I want to see it...... It seems that in 02, Christie's Hong Kong autumn auction once had a similar auction of such a black fixed pot with oil droplets, and after ten years, the same treasure has not appeared. ”

"Attention, I'm talking about rare porcelain, not ordinary black ding." Gao Dequan stated in advance, lest Hao Baolai check the records and find that there was a black auction, and then blame himself for lying.

"I understand." Hao Baolai nodded, very curious: "How much did that treasure Heiding Zhan cost?" ”

"I don't remember very well." Gao Dequan thought about it carefully, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Thirteen million ......"

Hao Baolai is speechless, he understands people, and naturally knows that compared with ten years ago, the transaction price of artworks has increased several times, so how much should a black tea cup be worth now? (To be continued.) )
