Chapter 835: Tang Sancai
Huang Chong held a piece of a person riding a horse in his hand, one of whom was a samurai, wearing a black hat, wearing a yellow round-necked gown, and a scimitar at the waist, which looked very heroic, and the horses under the samurai's crotch were also very unusual, and the shape was relatively tendony, so at a glance he knew that it was not an ordinary horse.
The horse under the samurai's crotch has a fat hip and a wide neck, and the horse's posture is to stand still, mainly static, but the horse's eyes are carved into a triangle, the eyes are round and open, and the horse's ears are standing, as if listening to some sound, full of a feeling of stillness.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the colorful colors immediately, with the yellow and brown colors of the samurai clothes, which makes the whole ornament look very gorgeous and exquisite, it goes without saying that this thing is famous - Tang Sancai!
Tang Sancai, is a kind of pottery that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, it is the general name of the Tang Dynasty low-temperature glazed pottery, on the same vessel, with yellow, green, white or yellow, green, blue, ochre, black and other basic glaze colors at the same time staggered use, forming a gorgeous and colorful artistic effect, generally more three-colored, later people habitually called this kind of pottery "Tang Sancai".
Tang Sancai is vivid and realistic, colorful and full of life, and together with the bright silk, beautiful and dazzling murals, colorful gold and silverware, and the open society, it has drawn a glorious picture of Tang culture.
Tang Sancai not only has a very high achievement in art, but also made great contributions to later generations in ceramic technology, its gorgeous and colorful decorative techniques broke the situation of monochrome glaze dominating the world, from monochrome glaze to three-color glaze, laid the foundation for the birth of later generations of colored porcelain.
After the Song Dynasty, all kinds of low-temperature color glaze and glaze colored porcelain, most of which were developed on the basis of Tang Sancai.
It is precisely because Tang Sancai has a high artistic level, unique status, and it has been exported overseas from the beginning, the love of dark foreign people, since the beginning of the twentieth century was rediscovered, it has attracted people's attention, especially with the opening of the domestic and international markets, more and more people like to collect Tang Sancai.
Tang Sancai is used for burial, as a vessel, because of its brittle fetal quality, poor waterproof performance, so it is not easy to preserve so far, and foreigners are very fond of Tang Sancai's style, so that it has repeatedly won high prices at auctions.
For example, 30 years ago, in 1989, a Tang Sancai dark horse auctioned by the International Sotheby's auction house was sold for 3.74 million pounds in London, England, which was the price 30 years ago.
Because the appearance of Tang Sancai has caused a huge sensation in the world, coupled with its own cultural value and economic value, Tang Sancai's research is very hot, and many experts have made the research results public.
Tang Sancai is a low-temperature ceramic, the production process is not complicated, the production of raw materials can be seen everywhere, plus the tire glaze formula has long been disclosed, imitation masters have emerged, a large number of high-imitation works appeared.
It can be said that some high-imitation works, 99 percent and the real are almost no different, completely to the point of being fake, only one percent of the more special characteristics, which are naturally formed after thousands of years, so it cannot be imitated, but, although it is said, but if there is no pair of fiery eyes, ordinary people can not distinguish at all.
The reason why this Tang Sancai in front of him was able to arouse Huang Chong's interest was because this Tang Sancai had a clam light on his body.
The so-called clam light refers to the halo of pearlescent appearance similar to the inner side of the mussel shell on the glaze and the glaze edge of the ancient porcelain, and only when the ancient porcelain reaches a certain time will this luster be formed.
You must know that Tang Sancai's glaze is essentially a bright glaze, when it is just fired, it is bright and dazzling, and the luster is brilliant, but with the passage of time, the dazzling luster will gradually fade, the glaze color becomes warm and crystalline, and the glaze gradually becomes soft and natural.
Of course, the luster of the glaze is only a proof of the authenticity of the appreciation, can not be used as the main basis, the current technology is so developed, to forge the clam light, it is not impossible, it does not need to be like the real thing, just need to be able to deceive for a while, it is enough.
In addition, there is also natural rust on this Tang Sancai tire.
Tang Sancai is a kind of funerary goods, then buried in the ground for thousands of years, by the erosion of the earth, water, and soil, there will inevitably be some rust, and these rusts have been soaked into the carcass, and the object is blended together, it looks very natural, if it is imitation rust, it must look very stiff and unnatural.
This Tang Sancai is not a genuine product of the Tang Dynasty, it is imitated.
"Boss, how did this thing come about?" Huang Chong asked.
"Harvested in the countryside." The boss is a middle-aged uncle, and he said with a smile: "I don't understand, if the little brother likes it, give me a real price and take it." ”
Yes, this boss doesn't even tell stories now, the most important thing in the antique market is stories, every day I don't know how many people have cancer and want to be hospitalized, I can't say that there is no at all, I can only say that more than nine out of nine are lies.
Buyers are making up stories, sellers are making up stories, and stories are rampant.
The boss in front of him simply didn't even tell the story, because everyone was shrewd and didn't want to believe those stories.
"This Tang Sancai is good, it's more old-fashioned, two hundred." Huang Chong put Tang Sancai in front of the stall owner and said.
"Little brother, don't joke with me, this is Tang Sancai!" The boss looked at Huang Chong and said.
"Everything is fully glazed." Huang Chong said.
This boss is not ignorant, after hearing Huang Chong's words, his face changed slightly, because the real Tang Sancai has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, he does not apply the full axis, as for why he does not apply the full glaze, experts and scholars have not been able to give a reasonable explanation, and it can be regarded as an eternal mystery.
The boss glanced at Huang Chong, reached out and picked up Tang Sancai in front of him, and groped his hands on the head of the figure and the four legs of the horse.
The faces of the genuine Tang Sancai characters and the legs of the animals are not glazed.
It turns out that this Tang Sancai is indeed not genuine, but even so, this boss is not disappointed, he does this business, naturally knows that most of the things in it are fakes, if this thing is genuine, what does he put here, just send it to the auction house.
With the idea that it can be a lump sum, the boss smiled at Huang Chong and said, "The thing is not expensive, two thousand, the cost price, if the little brother likes it, take it." ”
