Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 835 Tang Sancai

Huang Chong holds an ornament of a man riding a horse in his hand. The man is a warrior, wearing a black hat, a yellow round-neck gown, and a machete at his waist. Shuo, at first glance, he knew that it was not an ordinary horse.

The horse under the samurai's crotch has a fatter hip and a wider neck. The horse's posture is to stand still and to be quiet, but the horse's eyes are carved into triangles, the eyes are round, and the horse's ears are erect. Yes, as if listening to some voice, full of a feeling of being driven by silence.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the colorful colors on the horse. Coupled with the yellow and brown colors of the warrior clothes, the whole decoration looks very gorgeous and exquisite. It goes without saying that this thing is the famous Tang Sancai!

Tang Sancai is a kind of pottery popular in Tang Dynasty. It is the general name of low-temperature glazed pottery in Tang Dynasty. On the same utensil, basic glaze colors such as yellow, green, white or yellow, green, blue, ochre, and black are used alternately at the same time. , forming a colorful artistic effect, generally there are more three-color pottery, and later people used to call this kind of pottery "Tang San-color".

Tang Sancai is vivid in shape, bright in color and full of life breath. Together with the colorful silk, beautiful and eye-catching murals, glittering gold and silverware, and an open society, it together draws a brilliant picture of Tang culture. .

Tang Sancai not only had very high achievements in art, but also made great contributions to later generations in ceramic technology. Its gorgeous and colorful decoration broke the monochromatic glaze and developed from monochromatic glaze to tricolor. Glaze laid the foundation for the birth of colored porcelain in later generations.

After the Song Dynasty, most of the various low-temperature colored glazes and overglaze colored porcelains were developed on the basis of Tang Sancai.

It is precisely because Tang Sancai has a high artistic level and unique status, and it has been exported overseas from the very beginning, and it has been loved by people in dark foreign countries. Since it was rediscovered in the early [-]th century, it has attracted people's attention. With the opening of the domestic and international markets, more and more people like to collect Tang Sancai.

Tang Sancai was used for burial as a ghost vessel. Because of its brittle texture and poor waterproof performance, it is not easy to preserve to this day. Moreover, foreigners are very fond of the style of Tang Sancai, which makes them frequently fetch high prices at auctions.

For example, 30 years ago, in 1989, a Tang Sancai black horse auctioned by Sotheby's International was sold for 374 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, the research on Tang Sancai is very hot, and many experts have made their research results public.

Tang tri-color ceramics are low-temperature ceramics, the production process is not complicated, and the raw materials can be seen everywhere. In addition, the formula of the glaze has already been made public, and there are a large number of high-quality imitation works.

It can be said that 90.00% of some high imitation works are almost indistinguishable from the real ones, and they have reached the point of confusing the real ones. Only one percent of the special features are formed naturally after thousands of years, so they cannot be imitated. However, even though this is the case, ordinary people would not be able to tell the difference without a pair of piercing eyes.

The reason why the Tang Sancai in front of him can arouse Huang Chong's interest is because this Tang Sancai has clam light on his body.

The so-called clam light refers to the pearl-like halo on the glaze and glaze edge of ancient porcelain, which is similar to the pearly luster inside the clam shell. Only when the ancient porcelain reaches a certain period of time will it form this luster.

You should know that the glaze of Tang Sancai is a kind of bright glaze in essence. When it is just fired, it is bright and dazzling. It is soft and natural, it can be said that it is full of luster and precious light, unless the glaze surface is severely corroded, the authentic three-color product will not lose its soft luster.

Of course, the luster of the glaze is only a piece of evidence to appreciate the authenticity of something, and it cannot be used as the main basis. With the current technology so advanced, it is by no means impossible to fake the clam light. After a while, it is enough.

In addition, the tires of this Tang Sancai also have natural rust.

Tang Sancai is a kind of funerary object, so it has been buried underground for thousands of years and is eroded by earth gas, water, and soil. There must be some rust, and these rust has soaked into the carcass and blended with the object. It looks very natural. If it is imitation soil rust, it will definitely look very stiff and unnatural.

This Tang Sancai is not an authentic product of the Tang Dynasty, but an imitation.

"Boss, how did this thing come about?" Huang Chong asked.

"It's from the countryside." The boss is a middle-aged uncle, and he said with a naive smile, "I don't understand either. If my brother likes it, give me a real price and just take it away."

Well, the boss doesn’t even tell stories now. The most indispensable thing in the antique market is stories. I don’t know how many people get hospitalized with cancer every day. I can’t say that there are none at all. I can only say that more than [-]% of them are lies. human.

Buyers are making up stories, sellers are making up stories, and stories are rampant.

The boss in front of him didn't even tell the story at all, because everyone was smart and didn't want to believe those stories anymore.

"This Tang Sancai is not bad, but it's rather old-fashioned, two hundred." Huang Chong said as he placed the Tang Sancai in front of the stall owner.

"Little brother, don't make fun of me, this is Tang Sancai!" The boss said looking at Huang Chong.

"Everything is fully glazed." Huang Chong said.

The boss is not ignorant, after hearing Huang Chong's words, his face changed slightly, because one of the biggest characteristics of genuine Tang Sancai is that it does not apply full glaze. As for why it is not fully glazed, experts and scholars have so far failed to understand Giving a reasonable explanation is also an eternal mystery.

The boss glanced at Huang Chong, reached out and picked up the Tang Sancai in front of him, and groped with his hands on the figure's head and the four legs of the horse.

The faces of authentic Tang Sancai figures and the legs of animals have the characteristics of unglazed.

Facts have proved that this Tang Sancai is indeed not genuine, but even so, the boss is not disappointed. He is in this business, and naturally knows that most of the things inside are fake. If this thing is genuine, he put it in the What to do here, just send it directly to the auction house.

With the idea that it is a fortune to make a fortune, the boss smiled at Huang Chong and said, "The things are not expensive, two thousand, the cost price, if I like it, I can take it away."
