Section 18 Brother kiln porcelain

One of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, the famous kiln, people who have played porcelain know his name, many porcelain in the firing process, in order to pursue the process is generally not allowed to have too many glazed cracks, but the kiln has brought the beauty of "open piece" to the extreme, resulting in the typical characteristics of the "gold wire" kiln.

There is also a legend about the golden wire: according to legend, in Longquan County in the Song Dynasty, there was a very famous porcelain artist, surnamed Zhang, named Cungen, he was the father of the legendary Zhang Shengyi and Zhang Shenger. Zhang Cungen's good at making celadon is famous, the first and second brothers have learned art with their father since childhood, the eldest Zhang Shengyi is kind, willing to learn, and endure hardships, and has won the true inheritance of his father, and Zhang Shenger also has stunts. After the death of Zhang Cungen, the brothers split up and opened their own kiln factories.

The kiln factory opened by the eldest Zhang Sheng is the brother kiln, and the kiln factory opened by the second Zhang Sheng is the younger brother kiln. Both brothers fired celadon and had their own achievements. But the boss is a step higher, fired out the "purple mouth iron foot" celadon, for a time famous all over the world, its reputation spread to the emperor, Longyan Dayue, the king named Zhang Shengyi to burn celadon for it.

The second child is small-minded, jealous, taking advantage of his brother's inattention, threw the clay into Zhang Shengyi's glaze jar, the boss used the glaze mixed with clay on the blank, after firing a kiln, he was stunned, the glaze on the surface of the porcelain full of kilns were all cracked, the cracks were big and small, long and short, thick and thin, curved and straight, and the shapes were different, some were like fish roe, some were like willow leaves, and some were like crab claws.

He wanted to cry without tears, after the painful experience, he regained his spirits, he made a cup of tea, painted the thick tea on the porcelain, the crack immediately turned into a brown line, and then painted the ink, the crack immediately turned into a black line, so that inadvertently formed a "gold wire".

This defect of Ge Yao was endowed by the literati with a pursuit of beauty, called defective beauty, and the highest level of aesthetics is usually called sick beauty. Defective beauty was pushed to the supreme position, and Geyao was born in such a position.

"Iniquity." A middle-aged man standing next to Chen Dong spoke.

Chen Dong hurriedly asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, what's going on." ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with this young man who sold porcelain from the brother kiln, and said to Chen Dong, "It's not the kid of the Wang family, since his parents died, he has no control, and since then he has been infected with the problem of gambling, gambling, nine out of ten bets, and finally sold his house." ”

Chen Dong asked, "He is selling it here, can he sell it?" Why don't you send some money to find someone to identify, forget if it's fake, if it's true, the money from the sale will be enough to spend for a lifetime. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The appraisal fee is not low, how can he have money, even if he has money, he will take it all to gamble, but I think he himself doesn't believe in this real thing, you think, Ding, Ru, Ge, Guan, Jun five famous kiln porcelain, there are not many pieces in the world that have been handed down to this day, most of them are in museums, and the Wang family boy can have so good luck just one piece." ”

"That's right." Chen Dong nodded and said.

According to Chen Dong, the five famous kilns are mainly preserved in the world's major museums, mainly Yanjing and Taipei National Palace, and the five famous kilns that can circulate in the collection market are rare.

Chen Dong asked the middle-aged man again, "Why don't you go to the antique street to set up a stall to sell?" ”

"It costs money to rent a stall."

Chen Dong understood now, it turned out that it was still a matter of money.

"The glaze is shiny, I think this porcelain is fake." At this time, a young onlooker opened his mouth to express his opinion.

His 'opinion' was actually nodded in agreement by many onlookers.

When Chen Dong heard this, he almost laughed, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is estimated that the half-understood antique terms learned from there are forced to this porcelain set.

The so-called thief light, is floating on the surface of porcelain, very dazzling kind of light, and the corresponding is the 'pulp', what is the 'pulp', is the antique on the soft and warm light, as long as the years, its surface, there will be a layer of pulp, and new things are impossible.

Counterfeiters want to imitate more realistically, so they will use all kinds of local methods, foreign methods, clumsy methods, and ingenious methods, but in any case, the result is not only that it still has no pulp, but also adds an extra layer of thief light, which is blunt, frivolous, and looks uncomfortable.

"I think it's the same, it must be fake, if it's really going to be millions."

Yes, he is an outsider who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, if this is true, it will be at least dozens of times higher on the basis of one million.

Chen Dong understood now, the people around him were all outsiders, just watching the excitement, and he had to pretend to be very knowledgeable, didn't he see that the traitor was blushing?

Chen Dong smiled, walked over, and asked the young man surnamed Wang, "Can you get started?" ”

Wang Jiacheng is annoying, because of gambling debts, just sold the only house to pay back part of it, when cleaning the furniture turned out the stove, just turned out, the stove body was covered with dust, there was still incense ash inside, there were a few burned incense sticks on the incense ash, in order to look good, he cleaned it with water again, and then took it out and maybe it could be sold for some money, I heard everyone around him say that this stove is fake, and he himself became unconfident, just Chen Dong came to ask him, and quickly said, "Yes, yes!" ”

"That's where the bottle came from."

"Ancestral." In fact, he didn't know where it came from, anyway, he found that this stove was used to insert incense and candles.

Chen Dong smiled, didn't answer, carefully picked up the stove and observed carefully, the pulp was thick, the glaze exuded a luster like 'ghee', the hue was pink and blue, it looked very eye-catching, and the young man with a thief on the glaze was too unreliable.

The body is purple-black, and the thin glaze of the mouth edge of the vessel is yellow-brown due to the hidden pattern revealing the tire color, and at the same time, the glaze is not hung on the bottom foot and presents iron black, which is the so-called 'purple iron foot', which is completely consistent with the characteristics of the kiln.

Look at the glaze of the utensils again, there are fine small open pieces, commonly known as '100 garbage pieces' or 'turtle pattern' in the antique shop, the lines are staggered, the glaze layer is very thick, the thickest outside is equal to the thickness of the tire, the glaze contains bubbles, such as the pearl looms, as if the 'polyfoam beads' like the charm.

From these three characteristics, Chen Dong can conclude that the utensils in his hand are indeed Geyao porcelain, of course, it is not excluded that it is a modern imitation, but it can be imitated very little.

Besides, the characteristics can be imitated, but the ancient charm of the porcelain furnace formed after thousands of years is difficult to imitate with modern technology.
