Chapter 573 Five Famous Kilns, Heiding Treasures

Yaobian means kiln change, which refers to the fact that the porcelain is glazed and sent to the kiln for firing. During the firing process, the glaze produces ever-changing effects under the action of high temperatures that even the producer cannot grasp. After the porcelain is kiln change, each piece is called a lonely product, and there is absolutely no repetition.

Of course, the kiln changes at each kiln are different, such as Jun porcelain among the five famous porcelains of the Northern Song Dynasty. This Jun porcelain has no color before entering the kiln, but after being fired out of the kiln, it presents a colorful color that shook people's hearts, which is the so-called color entering the kiln and the color of the kiln.

Another famous one is the Yaobian Tianmu porcelain from Jiankang. Needless to say, the preciousness of this kind of porcelain is the gorgeous spots in the inner wall of the teacup in front of you, just like the oil-drop Tianmu partridge cup in Jiankang. At this time, under the sunlight, the glaze spots in the teacup refracted hazy light spots, which looked real and illusory, making people sigh.

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

"I have said it many times. This is not Jianzhan, nor is it Yaobian Tianmu, and of course it is not Jizhou kiln black glaze porcelain."

When Mr. Yan was scolding, he carefully held up the teacup and admired the changing colors of the spots in the cup from different angles. Ripples appeared in his eyes: "You should have a longer-term vision. Don't always pay attention to the kiln in the south. You should also think about the kiln in the north."

"Northern kiln, Zibo kiln?" a shopkeeper said in a daze.

"Ignorance."

Mr. Yan scolded bluntly: "If Zibo Kiln could create such a skill that was exquisite, with thin body, deep and solemn black glaze, and a splendid kiln effect as peacock feathers, it would have long been as famous as Jianzhan."

Others agree that Zibo Kiln has such skills, and there is no reason not to know. Even the ruins of the kiln have no similar physical evidence unearthed, so this possibility can be directly ruled out.

"Old Yan, don't turn it off if you know the answer." A shopkeeper quickly asked: "We are ignorant and have no knowledge. Please give me some advice."

The other shopkeepers reacted and said, "Yes, please give me advice."

“Not available.”

Mr. Yan was busy watching the teacup, but refused without raising his head. Fortunately, he was not so heartless, but said casually: "If you have ambitions, you should ask people who understand if you don't understand."

Several shopkeepers looked at each other and naturally understood what Mr. Yan meant, and asked them to ask Wang Guan for advice. Of course, considering Wang Guan's age, they were somewhat unable to bear the slightest face.

Fortunately, Wang Guan was understanding and noticed the embarrassment of several shopkeepers. He was thinking that everyone was in the same relationship as the people were together. Instead, he smiled and said directly: "If I read it correctly, this teacup should be Dingci."

"Ding porcelain?"

"What's the point?"

"Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? Did Brother Jun Ru decide the decision?"

In an instant, the shopkeepers were confused and their eyes were full of doubt. Not only did they suspect that they had heard it wrong, but they were more doubting whether Wang Guan had said something wrong.

You should know that Ding porcelain is one of the five famous kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty. Although not all the five famous kilns are rare porcelains, it is undeniable that the things of the five famous kilns are indeed more precious than ordinary porcelains.

However, in many people's impression, Ding porcelain should have a thin body and shiny appearance, with a pure white and moist glaze color. To put it bluntly, Ding porcelain should inherit the skills of the Tang Dynasty's criminal kilns, and made a large amount of white porcelain, with only a small amount...

"Wait, it's Hei Ding!"

Suddenly, a shopkeeper reacted with an excited look on his face: "The black color is as black as paint."

"What?"

"Is it really a shady person?"

For a moment, other shopkeepers woke up and immediately remembered it. Although Ding Kiln is known for producing white porcelain, it also fires black glaze, sauce glaze and glaze porcelain. The documents are called black dial, purple dial, and green dial.

Among them, Heiding has a small amount of history, and it is also the most expensive and most precious thing.

At the same time, some people questioned: "No, isn't the black color as black as lacquer, just black and transparent? Why do there are spots in the cup? "

“It’s rare and weird.”

Mr. Yan slowly put down the teacup and glared and said, "Don't you know that there are three major categories of Heiding? The first category is pure black, with the glaze painted black and bright, and extremely simple. The second category has kiln changes on the glaze, either rabbit cup patterns, oil drop spots, or colors similar to rust. As for the third category, it is decorated with gold color, painted with gold lines on the outer wall, and depicted with dragons and phoenixes on the inner wall. The colors are colorful and very solemn."

Under the guidance of Mr. Yan, the shopkeeper suddenly realized and raised a new question: "Old Yan, as far as I know, black must be white in body and black in color. But when I saw it, the body was light yellow in color."

"ignorance."

In an instant, Mr. Yan hated him and said unconfrontation: "Since you know that black must be white-fetal black glaze, you should also be clear that the so-called white-fetal white bones are slightly yellow in white. Besides, after being kept for a long time, it is stained with a lot of yellow mud, which will naturally become more yellow and turbid. As long as you wipe off the turbid dirt, you will naturally see the white-fetal..."

While speaking, Old Yan picked up the teacup with both hands and turned it over. He saw that the cleaned bottom foot had indeed turned much whiter, and the fetal foot could be clearly seen. As long as the fetal bone is so delicate, the wall of the cup can be made so thin.

"In addition, you should be clear that unlike the pre-fired porcelain burning before, the overfired method is used to set porcelain. The overfired method has many advantages, such as it can maximize the use of space, save fuel, and prevent equipment from deforming, thereby reducing costs and greatly increasing output. However, there are also obvious disadvantages..."

At this time, Mr. Yan put the teacup on the table, pointed at the mouth of the cup and said, "Now that the things are washed, you should also see clearly. There is a mouth of the cup, which is a distinctive feature left by the burning."

The so-called overfiring method is to snatch the bowls, plates and other vessels against the back. In this way, although the output can be increased and the cost can be reduced, in order to prevent the porcelain from sticking together, the edge of the mouth cannot be glazed and the bone body must be exposed, so it is called the mouth.

"No wonder Mr. Yan just touched the mouth of the cup and suddenly talked about the allusion of the white cat and black cup." A shopkeeper smiled and sighed: "It turns out that he knew it was a black cup at that time."

"What do you know?" Old Yan suddenly sighed: "I thought it was just an ordinary black dialect just now. After the things were restored to their true colors, I realized that it was the official kiln black dialect. If I had known that I would rather give up an old face than grab the things."

"Official Kiln Heiding!" The others were shocked again.

You should know that Ding porcelain was just an ordinary private kiln at the beginning. It was founded in the Tang Dynasty and silently absorbed the technology of white porcelain from the Zheng kiln. After hundreds of years of accumulation, it finally began to make royal utensils for the palace in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, and became the so-called official kiln. It was at that time that it was ranked alongside Junzhuang Guan Ge, known as the five famous kilns.

The civil decisiveness and the official decisiveness must be distinguished, so as not to think that the porcelain of the porcelain is a fine product, but in fact there are also some of the poor quality. Only the porcelain of the official decisiveness is the treasure that collectors of all generations have always dreamed of.

Obviously, Mr. Yan believed that the teacup in front of him should be the official and former imperial court item.

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

This is not a question, but a serious consultation.

"You should pay attention to it..." Old Yan did not treasure his own treasure and slowly explained: "Some ancient documents mentioned that at the beginning, the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty palace did not need to be Ding porcelain was because of the existence of the Mang. But later, I don't know who had the idea, and inlaid gold and silver on the Mangkou, it improved the level, and finally the palace accepted Ding porcelain."

"You can touch the edge of the mouth of the cup. Are there any subtle marks?" Old Yan pointed out: "This is the stamp left after the inlay of gold and silver edges for many years."

Taking this opportunity, a group of shopkeepers touched the teacup and carefully felt the delicate texture and shiny luster of the black porcelain. Then there was no need for Mr. Yan to explain it. If such a quality was not official, it would be really hard tolerated.

"Hehe, I finally saw the five famous kilns and precious porcelains."

"I have only seen it in a museum before, but now it's the first time I can still appreciate it at such a close distance."

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

From the laughter of several shopkeepers, we can know that they did not doubt Mr. Yan’s judgment at all, but wanted to find an excuse to play with the Heiding Tea Cup.

"If you get started, don't get rid of it, otherwise you can't afford to sell all of you." Old Yan said sternly, as if it was a warning, but it was also a disguised reminder.

At the right time, Hao Baolai asked carefully: "Old Yan, I also know that Ding porcelain is very precious. I don't know how much this black Ding tea cup should be worth?"

"It's vulgar to always raise money." Old Yan frowned and said, "Such a rare treasure cannot be measured by money at all. Sometimes, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy it."

Hao Baolai smiled awkwardly and felt a little dissatisfied. He felt that there was definitely no item 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 either. Mr. Yan is right. Such treasures are indeed not available even if you have money, because they are not available in the market." Gao Dequan smiled and said, "I think about it... it seems that in 2002, there was a black and white cup auction like this in the Christie's autumn auction in Hong Kong. Ten years later, but no other treasures appeared again."

"Note, I'm talking about the precious porcelain, not ordinary black decisive." Gao Dequan made a statement in advance so that Hao Bao would not come to search the records and find that there was a black decisive auction, and then blame himself for lying.

"I understand." Hao Baolai nodded and said curiously: "How much did that rare black Dingzhang cost?"

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

"13 million..."
