Cao Zijian thought that the other party invited him here to catch his eye.

The primary and secondary relationships must be clearly distinguished.

Then he waved his hand and said:”Old Shi, my matter is not urgent. Let me take a look at your things first. ”

” is completed.”Shi Qu nodded, and then moved a box next to the stool to the table.

As the things were taken out of the box, Cao Zijian discovered that it was a multi-color item. jar.

The jar has a round lip, a short neck, a round belly, a round pancake-shaped flat bottom at the shank, and an extravagant bottom edge.

The three-color decoration on the outer wall naturally hangs down from the edge of the mouth to the bottom. The blue, green, brown and white colors are blended and dyed, which is warm and bright.

There is white slurry-like makeup soil under the glaze. < /span> The whole vessel is round and full, and the large arc lines make the vessel more imposing and highlight the distinct style of the times< /span>

The body is a fine white pottery body with a powdery texture.

“Brother Cao, use your palms and eyes.” Shi Qu made a gesture of invitation.

Cao Zijian was not pretentious, so he stretched out his right hand to grab the mouth of the jar and lifted it up, while holding the bottom of the jar with his other hand.

The two hands started to rotate the jar with a clear division of labor

The technique was clean and neat, without any sloppiness

“This is an expert way of appreciating things.”Xie Wenchen made a judgment in his mind after Cao Zijian got started.

“Something.”He Shangde also thought secretly in his heart.

Both of them already believed Shi Qu’s praise of Cao Zijian’s eyesight.

Because with these few hands-on moves, Professional enough.

In fact, Cao Zijian already knew this jar as soon as he laid eyes on it.

At the same time, he also somewhat understood why Shiqu said it was a suspected earthenware jar. It has come out.

Because this is a Tang Dynasty tricolor, it is basically used as a burial object, that is, as a funerary object.

At most, Cao Zijian is just looking to see if there are any. Are there any traces of soil bite?

These need to be carefully inspected.

After a while, Cao Zijian put the jar back on the table and said :”Old Shi, the thing looks fine, it is indeed a Tang San colored jar.”

Tang Sancai is a kind of low-temperature glazed pottery popular in the Tang Dynasty.

A treasure of the ancient ceramic firing technology of the Dragon Kingdom.

It can be said to be an epoch-making milestone in the history of ceramics in the Tang Dynasty.

Because the pottery before this had only single-color glaze, or at most two-color glaze.

Only after the Tang Dynasty did colorful glazes such as Tang Sancai appear.

The full name is Tang Dynasty Sancai glazed pottery.

The glaze colors are yellow, green, white and brown. , blue, black and other colors, with yellow, green and white as the main colors, so people are accustomed to calling it”Tang Sancai”.

As Cao Zijian finished speaking, Xie Wenchen and He Shangde’s faces Those who did not agree to the contract smiled lightly.

Obviously, they did not agree with Cao Zijian’s identification results.

Shi Qu did not know much about ceramics. There are many, so we can’t just listen to one family’s words.

Now that he heard Cao Zijian giving different results, Shi Qu naturally wanted to know the details and hurriedly said:”Brother Cao, can you elaborate?”

Cao Zijian nodded slightly and said

“Although today’s high-imitation Tang Sancai is almost indistinguishable from the original in terms of glaze shape and color style, even the percentages of various chemical elements and physical characteristics of the glaze are basically the same.”

“The age and

[Go to read the novel on the site: https://readwn.com/] aging of the glaze are not difficult for imitation masters at all.”

“But we can look at the sense of staleness”

“As an object from a thousand years ago, Tang Sancai was buried in the soil for thousands of years before it appeared in people’s eyes. It was eroded by water and soil.”

“From the inside to the outside, there is a kind of staleness that is soaked in layers.”

“No matter how you process high imitations, they never have that natural sense of vicissitudes.”

“Moreover, it is old on the outside and new on the inside, unlike the real thing. The old feeling and the tire are integrated with each other and inseparable.”

“There is also a type of rust that has been formed over thousands of years and cannot be removed.”

“These are things that high imitation cannot do”

“Even if they are imitated, they are imposed and look unnatural, and some of them can be washed off directly.”

“Here is the glaze”

“The glaze of Tang Sancai is a kind of bright glaze, which is dazzling when it is first fired.”

“But after a hundred years, this luster is no longer so bright, and becomes warm and crystal clear. The glaze gradually becomes soft and natural, with inner brilliance and precious light overflowing.”

“Unless the glaze is severely corroded, the genuine Tang Sancai will not lose its soft luster.”

“Those counterfeiters can also make the glaze of high-imitation products soft and moist, but the softness cannot cover up the sharpness of the light. There is hidden light in the gentleness, and the uniform glaze has no connotation.”

Cao Zijian spoke carefully, and Shi Qu listened very carefully.

After Cao Zijian finished speaking, Shi Qu said:”Brother Cao, what do you say? Did this Tang Sancai come out of a pit?”

“No trace of soil bite is visible.”Cao Zijian shook his head.

You must know that soil bite is a characteristic of unearthed ancient porcelain. There is no soil bite on cooked pottery (hand-made products), only the inevitable occurrence of raw pit (unearthed) There is soil bite.

Just as Cao Zijian finished speaking, He Shangde spoke

“He said one thing after another, but that’s all about his eyesight.”

“oh? Cao Zijian looked at He Shangde:”I don’t know what I said wrong?””

“People in the Tang Dynasty advocated the custom of lavish burials of”life and death”, so all Tang tricolor paintings were buried as burial objects.”He Shangde said

“This three-color jar doesn’t have any traces of soil damage, so it’s obviously an antique.”

“That’s not necessarily the case.”Cao Zijian shook his head and said:”This was indeed the case in the early Tang Dynasty, but during the Kaiyuan period when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was in power,”

“Although the Tang Dynasty was still in a period of strong national power and the style of thick burials was still very popular in Tang Dynasty society, Xuanzong Li Longji began to advocate the style of frugality”

“In the 20th and 27th years of Kaiyuan, the”Kaiyuan Rites of the Tang Dynasty” and”Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty” were promulgated respectively, which restricted the arrangement of funeral objects for officials.”

“Subsequently, clearer regulations were promulgated in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, so the number of expensive Ming Dynasty tricolors decreased.”

“But after all, the craftsmen, production tools and kilns that fired Tang Sancai still existed, so Tang Sancai found a new way out – the production of folk utensils and architectural accessories.”

“This also makes Tang Sancai no longer just a visible weapon.”

“If it is not a well-known weapon, it becomes extremely difficult to spread it.”

“This is also the reason why practical tools like three-color pots are so rare nowadays.”

“But being rare doesn’t mean it’s not available.”
