Chapter six hundred and ninety third impeccable level
Li Jinli also said at this time: "It should be from the early Tang Dynasty. It is green and yellow, and the surface is seriously aged. This thing must be thousands of years old."
"It's amazing, can you tell from all this?"
Chen Xingchen looked at Li Jinli in surprise. This guy is not a professional. How can he be better than his appraisal level?
Chen Wenzhe was also a little surprised. When did Li Jinli become so powerful?
Li Jinli was not proud, he was looking at what was in front of him seriously.
"A sagger, a tool for making porcelain, can be made so beautifully? Also, in the early Tang Dynasty, could such exquisite celadon be made?"
"How are you so sure that this is something from the early Tang Dynasty?" Chen Xingchen couldn't help it.
Li Jinli smiled: "Of course I heard it. I couldn't help but be curious before and came over to listen to the corner!"
Chen Xingchen was speechless, so that was it.
"This is Yue kiln celadon, a box specially used for firing porcelain. It was first fired, maybe because of experiments, maybe it was an accident. You know, the Yue kiln at the beginning was not just for firing celadon.
Celadon began to develop in the Tang Dynasty."
Chen Wenzhe carefully looked at the seal, sealed it with green glaze, and then sintered it together.
After knocking on it, I found that the wall of this sagger is very thin, which makes it more susceptible to heat.
At this time, it should be easier to cut.
"What's inside? Why is that guy unwilling to cut it open and take a look?" This is what Cao Qingchun asked.
"The unwillingness to cut it must be because of the fear that the contents inside will break, and the possibility is not small. Otherwise, who wouldn't want to sell it for more money?" Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
"Speak carefully and let us learn. If you speak well, I will help you cut this thing open."
As he said that, Li Jinli smiled and took out a paper box from the side. It seemed to be a cutting machine.
It's not the kind that cuts stone or steel, but a small cutting machine used to cut bones and frozen meat.
Looking at the pictures outside, Chen Wenzhe knew what it was because he had seen it in a supermarket.
The electric motor drives a wire saw, which cuts off the bones as soon as it touches them, which looks very dangerous.
Don't tell me, it's really not difficult to use this thing to cut through this thin layer of glaze.
Moreover, the steel wire of this thing is very thin. If the power is strong enough, cutting the sagger like this will really not hurt it much.
Nodding with satisfaction, Chen Wenzhe said: "There is nothing to say. Although this sagger was made in the early Tang Dynasty, it has not been used a few times since it was made. And the last time, obviously
It needs to be sealed and used as a disposable item."
"So, what kind of things would be fired using such a piece of celadon?"
"What kind of porcelain? Were there any great varieties of porcelain in the Tang Dynasty?" Cao Qingchun asked.
"It may not be the Tang Dynasty, it may be the late Tang Dynasty, it may be the late Five Dynasties, there may be too many." Chen Wenzhe said.
"What good things were there in that period? Late Tang, Five Dynasties?" Cao Qingchun said with a puzzled look.
"Secret color porcelain?" Li Jinli and Chen Xingchen said almost in unison.
During the late Tang and Five Dynasties periods, secret color porcelain was definitely the most famous and the best porcelain!
"Yes, although this sagger is from the early Tang Dynasty, this secret-color porcelain was fired at the kiln entrance during the Five Dynasties, later Zhou Dynasty, or even during the Northern Song Dynasty."
This can actually be inferred from the decline of the kiln entrance.
If there were no accidents, how come no one opened the kiln after the firing of a top official kiln was completed?
Even in ancient times, the firing of official kilns was extremely costly. This kind of thing has always been a treasure.
As long as someone knows it, it will not be ignored.
Coupled with the decline of Yue Kiln, this kiln must have been affected by wars in the Later Zhou Dynasty or the early Northern Song Dynasty.
Unfortunately, it probably did not reach the prosperous period of the Northern Song Dynasty, so he should not have much relationship with the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.
At most, the Ru kiln of later generations used the firing technique of secret color porcelain, which has many similarities with secret color porcelain.
Chen Wenzhe briefly stated his conclusion, and Li Jinli and others also felt it was a pity.
If the time could be later, it might be the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, if a piece of porcelain was fired with such solemnity, it must be Ru kiln.
You know, although the Ru Kiln came later than the Secret Color Porcelain, it cannot stand up to others' fame.
Also, the later the era, the higher the technology!
This does not mean that the Ru kiln has learned the secret color porcelain firing technology, so it cannot be as good as the secret color porcelain.
In fact, on the contrary, technology is constantly improving, but the heyday of celadon was in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The celadon from Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty was very good, but the celadon from the Southern Song Dynasty was even better.
Of course, being good does not necessarily mean that the price is higher. This depends on the quantity of existence, the condition of preservation, and even the popularity.
For example, secret color porcelain is definitely better than ordinary Yue kiln celadon.
Among Yue kiln celadon, the price of ordinary products is only a few hundred thousand, and at most five or six hundred thousand.
This is known to the public, but if you have a little understanding of the situation, you will know that those can only be said to be ordinary Yue kiln celadon.
As for the truly high-quality Yue kiln celadon, it can easily cost two to three million, and it is not difficult to sell the highest price for more than ten million.
So what about secret color porcelain, which is the finest among the higher-grade Yue kiln celadon?
In fact, this also depends on the condition. With superb craftsmanship and perfect condition, the price will skyrocket.
So, there seems to be a lot of secret-color porcelain on the market, but what is the quality of those? What kind of craftsmanship are they? Who determined the identity? Can they be compared with those unearthed from Famen Temple?
At least it has the level of craftsmanship of the three pieces in the National Palace Museum, right? It’s definitely impossible!
Therefore, the price of some so-called secret color porcelain on the market is only hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, just because their craftsmanship is not good and their identity is questionable!
Also, who has ever endorsed them? Are they really sure that they are genuine Yue kiln secret color porcelain?
The three in the Forbidden City can be identified because their production craftsmanship is no worse than the thirteen pieces unearthed from Famen Temple.
Just because the craftsmanship is similar, I compared them and thought that those three pieces were also secret-color porcelain. Can the other so-called secret-color porcelains on the auction market be of this level?
So far, Chen Wenzhe has been able to identify only a few pieces of secret-color porcelain.
Of course, this is what he knows and can be sure of. Others may be genuine, but without seeing them, he dare not say whether they are genuine or not.
Of these seventeen pieces, thirteen were discovered from the underground palace of Famen Temple, and one is hidden in the Hangzhou Museum, which is also a treasure of the museum.
It can be regarded as a treasure of the museum, and its appearance and craftsmanship are absolutely impeccable!
How much do you think a treasure of that grade is worth?
