The ancients said: "Black and white and other places and paint green, yellow and purple three-color flowers are called plain three-colored, with black ground as the most expensive, there are also light yellow, light green and other places and flowers are yellow-green darker." There are also those who occasionally expose the white ground, eggplant purple is slightly rarer for the ground, and there are flowers with only green and yellow two-color ears, and the statistics of the land are three-colored.

Green set green, yellow set yellow, in the shallow and deep in order, so there are real four or five colors and also known as plain three color. Westerners love this sound and the price is very high, a bottle is worth 10,000 gold, the monster is the most peculiar, the character is second, if the price of flowers and birds is not rich. ”

And the old Chu in the box is the ink and the three colors of the bird Chaofeng Guanyin bottle, which is a rare fine product in the plain three colors.

Chu Lao carefully rubbed his hand on the Su Sancai bottle, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, although Su Sancai is good, but it is a sacrificial article after all, and it is taboo, so the official kiln will not produce this kind of utensils, and it is generally fired by a skilled craftsman who supervises the organization and builds a private kiln alone." ”

Liu Yuhao sighed, nodded, and said: "This is also destined to be that those experts and scholars who blindly pursue the so-called official kiln boutiques do not pay attention to it at all, and the collectors do not know what to do, and it is a big pity to follow behind them." ”

It is a fact that Kangxi Modisu Sancai is very rare in China, and there are three reasons for this.

One is that between Kangxi and the present more than 300 years, natural disasters and frequent wars have occurred; Coupled with the forcible seizure by foreigners, the high price of searching, to this day, Kangyao Modi Su Sancai has become a treasure of Taohai and a national treasure.

The second is that when Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty ascended the throne, in order to punish the "friends of the kings" and "friends of the court" in his eyes, he purged corruption and practiced frugality, and no one dared to make a big funeral.

Since then, this kind of famous Modisu Sancai has been burned from then on.

Third, because of the restrictions of ideology, funeral vessels have been regarded as a taboo and an unlucky thing since ancient times, so it is impossible to burn in large quantities, and it is natural that they will not be collected.

Therefore, when it is necessary to use Su Sancai, the princely valve reading house in order to compare with each other, sparing no expense to provide painting books, painters, color materials, etc., in order to make the products outstanding, and its quality is even higher than the official kiln, so as to achieve the purpose of the scenery of the dead and the glory of the living.

Therefore, the production has its limitations, and the products are very few, and the royal special products of Modi are even more rare.

"Boy, now is the time to test your kung fu."

Rong Lao's eyes stared at Liu Yuhao, his eyes were bright, he took a sip of tea, and said bluntly: "Lao Chu and I have some doubts about the authenticity of this Su Sancai, so we are specially going to take it to the Palace Museum to let the ** palm eye, now it's cheap for you kid." ”

Chu Lao smiled, and did not explain what Rong Lao said, and looked at Liu Yuhao meaningfully, his eyes full of encouragement.

Liu Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and motioned for Teng Yi to open all the curtains, took out the high-powered magnifying glass he carried with him, and carefully looked at the three-colored bird Chaofeng Guanyin bottle.

Modisu Sancai is the first to be created in Kangxi, is to first smear a layer of green glaze on the body, and then reapply black glaze, it is not difficult to identify the black glaze, but if you want to find the traces of green glaze from the Guanyin bottle with a complete shape, you must have real kung fu.

However, this was not difficult for Liu Yuhao, and soon, Liu Yuhao found traces of green glaze on the edge of an inconspicuous lip, and his technique was so skillful that even Chu Lao nodded and smiled again and again.

Liu Yuhao looked very carefully, and did not immediately urge the ability.

Usually busy with the mundane affairs of Haoyi Group, Liu Yuhao rarely has time to study systematically, and it is even more difficult to have the opportunity to conduct in-depth research on the standard shape of the flower goose, mallet bottle, and Guanyin bottle.

After determining the existence of green glaze, Liu Yuhao made a comparison of the color materials, and when it was really difficult to confirm, he asked Teng Yi to take a flower and fruit pattern plate from the Ming Dynasty in the front hall to compare it.

Chu Lao was quietly on the side, not commenting on Liu Yuhao's behavior, but the appreciation in his eyes was even stronger.

Kangxi ink and earth plain three-color utensils used in the color are the late Ming Dynasty relics of the mineral color, also known as "ancient color" or "hard color", Liu Yuhao can not be sure of the authenticity of the time to pay attention to the difference, I have to say, not a good way.

Gucai is an ancient method of decoration on the glaze of traditional porcelain, which originated in the Ming Dynasty and matured in the Qing Dynasty, is an excellent traditional decoration in China's ceramic decorative arts, and has always been respected by pottery connoisseurs and collectors at home and abroad.

The ancient color according to the pattern decoration needs to be applied to the glaze by secondary roasting, its color is delicate, clear and crystalline, the color of the utensils is thick and stacked, the quality is clean and hard, the color contrast is strong, and there is enamel charm; The color texture is quiet and soft, pearl and clear, the glass texture is strong, its green color is clear like lake water, the yellow color is delicate and beautiful like a sunflower, and the ink color is hard like lacquer, and the light can be seen.

"Lao Chu, don't say it, this kid is very experienced and skillful."

Don't look at Rong Lao all the time, but the corner of his eye has never left Liu Yuhao for half a step, and when he saw Liu Yuhao so decent, he couldn't help but praise him.

Chu Lao smiled faintly and said, "Can the disciple selected by Qi Lao be bad, you think it's you, and when you get old, you're still as hairy as you were back then." ”

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, you don't look down on my jade carving skills, I don't look down on you."

Boss Rong snorted coldly, the two of them have been fighting for most of their lives, and now they have developed a habit, and they will not be happy if they don't step on each other's feet for a while.

Chu Lao smiled, he didn't care about Rong Lao's disdain, and turned to observe Liu Yuhao intently.

Liu Yuhao sometimes took two steps back, staring at the three-colored bird with a serious face, and was fascinated by the phoenix Guanyin bottle, and sometimes approached with a magnifying glass to carefully analyze each naturally formed fish scale-like opening pattern and treasure light on the Guanyin bottle.

After more than 300 years, Kangxi Modisu three-color ware has been preserved so far, and the colorful "clam light" can be seen between the color materials, and the natural color halo can also be seen in the white glaze of the non-colored bottle mouth.

This is due to the fact that these color plots and painted in the Kangxi Dynasty are low-temperature lead-containing glazes, and the hardness of the glaze and colored glaze is higher after firing, and there is a "halo" phenomenon formed by natural oxidation.

And this phenomenon is also not seen in imitations, and it is one of the important bases for identifying the authenticity of Kangxi Modisu Sancai, and Liu Yuhao is particularly serious.

Finally, after sweeping the Guanyin bottle a few more times, Liu Yuhao let out a long breath of turbid breath and quickly urged the ability to look over.

It wasn't until the flickering golden light on the Guanyin bottle overlapped with the deerskin map in his mind that Liu Yuhao withdrew his ability and said with a smile: "Old Chu, if I guess correctly, this Guanyin bottle should be the royal genuine product in the Kangxi period." ”

Chu Lao smiled slightly and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Liu Yuhao was not in a hurry, first put the magnifying glass in his hand aside and took a sip of tea, before he said with a smile: "This Guanyin bottle neck can see obvious natural halos, first of all, it can show that it is an old object." ”

Chu Lao couldn't deny it, put his hands crossed in front of his chest, and said lightly: "Go on." ”

Liu Yuhao smiled and continued: "Whether it is the belly of the bottle or the shoulder, you can see a strong clam light, and the glaze is fat, the color is bright, and the decoration level is clear, which imitations can't do anyway." ”

"But that doesn't completely prove that it's not a fake."

Chu Lao was very satisfied with Liu Yuhao's meticulous observation, but he still maintained an indifferent look on his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Liu Yuhao smiled and said: "Chu Lao, the bottom of the Guanyin bottle can see the smoky kiln red, which is enough to prove that it came from the Jingdezhen kiln in the early Qing Dynasty, and the thick tire juice can prove the age of its production, and the delicate yellow shoulder ring on the bottle shoulder represents its extraordinary birth, I think I can't be mistaken." ”

Others may look away, but Liu Yuhao will definitely not.

Liu Yuhao dared to be so sure that what Chu Lao brought was the Kangxi Nian Modisu Sancai as the real product, not only by eyesight, but also by the confirmation of his ability, which also gave him great confidence.

"Good boy, my old Rong has never been convinced, but today I am really convinced by the hand that your kid revealed."

Rong Lao didn't wait for Chu Lao to speak, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and shouted excitedly.

Liu Yuhao hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "Elder Rong, if you continue to say this, my face will be scalded." ”

"What's so embarrassing? I think you are better than Lao Chu, I don't believe you ask, he was still learning things from his master when he was your age. ”

Boss Rong waved his hand, and while praising Liu Yuhao, he didn't forget to hit his old buddy.

Liu Yuhao smiled embarrassedly, Rong Lao said that Chu Lao didn't care, but he must not accept this conversation, otherwise he would not understand the behavior of respecting the elder.

Compared with Rong Lao's joy, Chu Lao was a little absent-minded, and the five fingers of his right hand tapped lightly on the table alternately, looking thoughtful.

Liu Yuhao saw the difference, frowned slightly, and said, "Old Chu, is there something I didn't say just now?" ”

Chu Lao was suddenly startled, waved his hand, and showed an apologetic smile on his face.

"Old guy, what are you still hiding from Yu Hao?"

Rong Lao was not happy, and he hugged Chu Lao beside him with an unhappy face.

Liu Yuhao was even more strange, but Chu Lao didn't speak, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, so he had to stand aside with a faint smile.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Lao finally raised his head and said, "Yu Hao, this Modisu Three-colored Hundred Birds Chaofeng Guanyin Bottle also has the same pair in the Palace Museum. ”

"What does it matter?"

Liu Yuhao was stunned, and a few words popped out of his mouth coldly before he could think about it.

Chu Lao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Why don't you think about it first, this is a folk kiln, and it is a funeral vessel used for sacrifices, how can there be a duplicate one?" ”

"Uh, old Chu, me"

Liu Yuhao's old face was red, he only thought about other things just now, and he actually forgot the most important stubble, which was really embarrassing.
