Chapter 457: Gathering the First Collection of Wool Again
Even if Ma Cang soil is not used, the difference is still very big for porcelain.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the light transmittance. Kaolin clay is much worse than Macang clay.
The light transmittance of Macang earth porcelain body is very good. At night, a 25-watt energy-saving lamp can be put into a bottle with a wall thickness of one centimeter, and it can still transmit "flesh-red" light!
Therefore, in the identification of Yuan blue and white, the flesh-red perspective light can also be regarded as one of its characteristics.
Other porcelain bodies never have this feature, and this is the difference.
Without Ma Cang soil, no matter how great a master you are, it will be difficult to imitate Yuan and Ming porcelain before Xuande.
"Since you could find some Macang soil seventy years ago, you can definitely find some now. It just depends on whether you want to pay a sufficient price."
You must know that the area of Macang soil mining area is not small, and there are many mine pits.
Even if he collected a batch in 1975, if he went to collect it now, he might still be able to find some.
If he gets lucky and finds a vein of Macang soil again, it will be fun in the future.
In fact, this was not his delusion, because the scene of mining Macang soil back then was still very spectacular.
Wang Zongmu of the Ming Dynasty recorded in "Book of Pottery·Sand and Soil": "The pottery comes out of Macang Mountain in Xinzhengdu, which is called Qianhukeng, Longkengwu, high road slope and low road slope. It is official soil. The soil is even and green.
Black seams, sugar dots, white jade, gold star color... One hundred kilograms of official soil in Macang is worth seven cents of silver, fifty kilograms of washed mud, and forty kilograms of exposed dry soil."
From here, we can see that there is more than one place where official clay was produced, and there is also Macang Mountain, the new capital of clay.
Macang was located in Xinzhengdu, which is east of today's Dongbu area.
In the northeast of Kaoling Mountain, Macang still retains its Ming Dynasty name.
It is now confirmed that the trend of the remains of the Macang pit mine is consistent with the trend of the weathered granite veins, so the current Macang is the former site of kaolin mining in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
There are advantages and disadvantages to having a clear location.
The advantage is that it is easy to find the old mining pit of Macangtu, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to find Macangtu, because many people must have looked for it before.
If there is a clear place, let him look for some possible remaining mineral veins, maybe he will find them?
After all, the mineral veins are buried underground. If we don’t dig through all of Macang Mountain, who can be sure that there will be no traces of Macang soil underground?
However, he doesn't have time to go out and hang out now.
Otherwise, the first place he will go to is Chang'an, where there is a Jingyun Bell waiting for him to touch it!
After sorting out his things, Chen Wenzhe thought about what he was going to do this afternoon.
Today he suddenly got information about the materials for making woolen porcelain, so today he went shopping for woolen porcelain again.
He had long wanted to visit the first collection again, but he had just gone there to pick up the wool. If he continued to go there, he would definitely be blacklisted.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe planned to go there and pick up the wool while he was not busy, the time was not long, and his reputation was not yet great.
He did whatever he thought of, and Chen Wenzhe dressed up a little, and he became a little unrecognizable.
After thinking for a while, I got another hat and put it on, plus a pair of glasses.
If he really gets on the blacklist, he will have a plastic face.
He still doesn't believe it. With the current technology, can he still tell who he is by his body shape?
Besides, he certainly isn't that famous now, so these preparations are just in case.
Sure enough, when he came to the first collection, he spent 800 yuan and walked in smoothly without anyone stopping him.
Of course, even if he comes in, Chen Wenzhe will not make any noise.
Keeping a low profile is the best way to make a fortune, but I don't know if there are any genuine items in the porcelain museum here after he scooped up a handful of wool earlier.
If not, then he's welcome. He will definitely go look for it in other collections, and at least make money back.
The conscience of capitalists cannot be counted on.
He now hopes that the consignees of the first collection will have better luck when searching for all the woolen porcelain on the market and collect some genuine pieces into the first collection.
Otherwise, if you point at the first collection guys and take the initiative to put the genuine products in the Mao Porcelain Museum for others to find out, that is definitely overthinking.
Maybe it was possible in the past, but after Chen Wenzhe's last inspection, this Mao Porcelain Museum should not take the initiative to put in genuine products for a long time.
Although there is this judgment, what if?
Therefore, people are very fond of gambling, and Chen Wenzhe is no exception. Otherwise, he would not enter the Mao Ci Museum again!
When you walk into the Mao Porcelain Museum, you will see rows of ancient shelves, all of which are filled with various porcelains that emit gleaming treasure.
This time when Chen Wenzhe came here, he found that there were more porcelains on display.
In the past, the number of the same porcelain was not that much, but now, not only are there more varieties, but the number of the same porcelain is even greater.
This makes identification more troublesome.
However, the number of people who come here to pick up leaks has also increased a lot.
Looking at the dazzling array of porcelain, Chen Wenzhe was dazzled again.
The last time he gained some knowledge, but this time, his horizons were broadened again.
Because this time he saw more varieties of wool porcelain. It can be said that as long as it is necessary for daily life and can be used in all aspects, everything he sees is available here.
Looking at the famous brands on the ancient shelves, Chen Wenzhe discovered that this first collection was kind enough to classify this batch of porcelain.
By type, they mainly include tea sets, tableware, wine sets, vases, hanging plates, etc.
According to the grade series, there are mainly artistic ceramics, fine ceramics, and general ceramics.
According to the introduction, Chen Wenzhe now knows that there is the earliest "Victory Cup" here, and there is also a fish plate with a lid that was fired later.
It can be said that from 1958 to 1974, 1,555 pieces of special porcelain were customized in Liling, and they are all available here, including tableware, tea sets, stationery, ashtrays, tooth boxes, etc.
There are more than 1,500 pieces of real Mao porcelain in the complete set!
But here, there must be more than one or two thousand pieces. There are so many porcelains, densely placed on the ancient shelves. How can you identify them?
Of course it's cheating. It's only ten minutes, so Chen Wenzhe doesn't have much time to waste.
Therefore, he speeded up, followed the crowd, and quickly poured into a narrow path.
This first collection utilized the space to the extreme, so Chen Wenzhe was pushed around and money kept coming in.
“Modern factory goods!”
"If the identification is correct, the achievement value will be increased by one!"
Identification is sometimes so easy. Chen Wenzhe was a little proud, so he speeded up again.
“Modern factory goods!”
"???"
Chen Wenzhe was delighted when he didn't get an answer this time. Could he be so lucky?
He quickly picked up the items and looked at them as he walked, but no matter how he looked at them, they didn't look like genuine items.
If you continue to cheat, you will soon be sure that this is a modern imitation!
