Chapter 156 The Battle of Qinggang Ridge (Wonderful) (Fifth)
Sauce glaze, also known as purple gold glaze, is a kind of color glaze.It uses iron as the coloring agent and is fired at high temperature, showing a purple gold or sesame sauce color, which has a similar effect to the famous Ziding of Ding Kiln in the Song Dynasty.Ming Cao Zhao’s "Ge Gu Yao Lun" records: "There are purple Ding color purple, there are black Ding color as black as lacquer, and soil furniture is white, and its price is higher than Bai Ding."

Sauce glaze was first fired by northern kilns. At that time, the famous ones were Ding kiln, Yaozhou kiln, Jizhou kiln, Lincheng kiln and so on.The same color glaze, compared with black glaze, the calcium content of caramel glaze is slightly lower, and the iron content is slightly higher, and its flux content is lower than that of black glaze, so its firing temperature is 50% higher than that of black glaze. ℃.It has a relatively high viscosity at high temperature, and the glaze is not easy to flow. The thickness of the glaze layer on the foot of the fired utensils and the mouth of the utensils is almost the same, so the glaze color gives people a plump and lustrous feeling.There are not many handed down sauce glazes.In the early Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen began to imitate.After Qianlong, the style of antiquity prevailed, and gold color was often decorated on sauce-colored glazed wares to imitate ancient bronze wares.

However, in the many excavations of Ding Kiln, only Heiding was found, but no purple glaze was found. There was only a kind of glaze similar to the color of sesame sauce. Some people deduced that it was probably Ziding mentioned in ancient documents. It is called caramel glaze.Wang Hua disagreed with this statement.

But no matter whether it was his previous life or this life, Zi Ding in the repeated tests and records also failed.So he turned to Qing Jiangci, and luckily let him succeed before the competition.

This piece of porcelain also has its original shape. It is a copy of the sauce glaze pot painted with golden dragon patterns in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty.This pot is centered on the Tuan Shou pattern, with a pair of symmetrical Kui patterns and Ganoderma lucidum patterns painted on both sides, and a circle of back patterns around the mouth of the pot. The glaze color is also extremely light and clean.The most important thing is that it is only ten centimeters high, placed on a pile of black lacquer pedestal specially made by Wang Hua, it looks very petite and exquisite, like a doll.

No wonder Li Gu'er lost his composure when he saw it.

At this time, the dragon chariot is not far from the place where the porcelain is displayed, but there are still thirty or forty steps.The pot was very small, and Wu Zetian was too old, so she couldn't see it clearly, so she couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is it that makes Xiao Zou'er jump and jump?"

No need to order, the eunuch understood, walked over and said to Li Gu'er: "Your Highness, the Emperor also wants to take a look."

Then don't let go!
Li Gu'er reluctantly handed the pot to the eunuch.

Wang Hua whispered in her ear: "Your Highness, don't worry, the competition will be over later, this pot is for you."

Li Bao'er smiled after hearing this.

Although few outsiders know about the relationship between the two, they know it well in their hearts, so Li Bao'er doesn't need to say thank you.

Zheng Silang glanced at the craftsmen behind him. These two pieces of porcelain brought him a lot of pressure.Although they also knew that this competition would be difficult, they also made preparations.But even at this point, they are still not discouraged. Of course, it depends on the three pieces of porcelain under Wang Hua. If they exceed the first three pieces, then even though they are well prepared, today's result will be wonderful.

Wu Zetian played with it for a while, and also admired it, and passed it to Di Renjie, Zhang Xi, the servant of the Tianguan and other ministers, and passed it on for a while.It's just that Zhang Xi's expression was a little unnatural. After all, his younger sister married into the Li family, and his nephew was Li Qiao, who had many ambiguous relationships with the seven surnames and ten families.
Passed it through and sent it back to the table.

It was the turn of the Zheng family, although facing such exquisite porcelain, Zheng Silang was not completely calm.He ordered someone to bring up the second piece of porcelain.Open the jade box and carefully take out the porcelain.

This is still a common type of porcelain - white glaze double dragon ear vase, but it is not Yue celadon, but Xingbai porcelain.This kind of utensils began in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. There are chicken heads and dragon ears, which are inserted into the bottle.But this piece of Xingbai porcelain is different, it brings together many carving arts.Compared with the smooth body of other bottles, the craft of French flowers is used on the body of the bottle, and nine lifelike dragons are embossed, as well as many cloud patterns.

Therefore, this piece of porcelain is also very exquisite, which attracted a lot of sighs.

Go ahead and judge.

But many people can't laugh or cry, and now the two families are just the opposite.The two pieces of porcelain made by Wang Hua this time are very delicate, but the Zheng family's white glaze vase carved with nine dragons and double dragons is the opposite. It is not small in size, and its height is only a little smaller than Wang Hua's first porcelain.Wang Hua knew that the proportion of failures of the Zheng family in firing this piece of porcelain was probably far higher than that of the black flower monkey and deer vase on a white ground that he fired.

After looking at it, another craftsman stood up this time, and he said: "From a small point of view, the two pieces of porcelain from Wang Erlang are small and elegant, with a glossy glaze, but the porcelain from the Zheng Mansion is exquisite in craftsmanship, so this time it is still a draw." Bar."

In fact, Wang Hua has already gained the upper hand for big porcelain against big porcelain and small porcelain for small porcelain.

But people want to say that, what should I do?
Li Gu'er was about to get angry, but Wang Hua gave her a wink, and then nudged at the three remaining lacquer boxes with the corner of his mouth.

Li Bao'er understood, chuckled, and stood aside without speaking.

Brother Zhang Yizhi also saw Wang Hua's wink, and did not say a word, expressing his agreement in silence.

In fact, Wang Hua sighed in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that the Zheng family had no intention of plotting, this time, in order to win him, he united so many craftsmen and made great contributions to the development of porcelain.

He made another gesture, and a little girl who looked like a lotus picker came up holding a suitcase.Needless to say, next this porcelain has something to do with the lotus.

The little girl was opening the lacquer box carefully, and now the emperor is amazed by it, and she knows the value of these few pieces of porcelain fired by her little patriarch.

Wang Hua watched the paint box slowly open with a smile on his lips.

In order to make this porcelain, it is not known how many failed products there are in the kiln.It also took a lot of labor, which is why his family hired a lot of technicians to help, otherwise he would not be able to complete this piece of porcelain within half a month with him alone.

This piece of porcelain is modeled after China's national treasure, and it is also one of the top ten national treasures of the National Palace Museum in Taipei.It cannot be auctioned off, otherwise the price may be comparable to that of Guiguzi Xiashan Tuyuan blue and white.The Ru kiln has only existed for a short time and its vessels are small. Up to now, there have been no complete works with a height of more than [-] centimeters and a round vessel diameter of more than [-] centimeters.

It is also the most difficult porcelain to imitate, and it is also the best porcelain to distinguish authenticity. In addition to the incense ash body, nail marks and body glaze, there is also that attractive blue glaze, which itself wins with this glaze color, almost Embellishments are rarely seen.

Most of the surviving Ru kiln wares have split pieces, but this piece of porcelain has a uniform glaze color and no grain on the whole body, which makes it appear more elegant and dignified.This piece of Ru porcelain is a small bowl in the shape of a ten-petal lotus flower.The light blue tone and the correct shape exude a kind of elegant and noble beauty. It is a masterpiece of the perfection of ceramic craftsmanship and a model of the ideal of the Chinese porcelain industry. It is the only solitary product in the world.

Because in the past two lifetimes, there has been no solution to this Ru porcelain, and there is also the problem of the current material. Although the national treasure was fired by the Song Dynasty, the porcelain fired by Wang Hua only has workmanship, which is the lotus petals. The edge of the bowl is comparable, but this cyan color is a little too bright compared to the original.

But even so, it does not hinder the shock that this piece of porcelain brought to everyone.

Li Gu'er looked at Wang Hua pleadingly, so he meant to give this one to me too.

Wang Hua quietly walked to her side again, and said in a low voice: "If Your Highness likes it, I will re-fire it for you in the future, but today there are only six pieces of porcelain here, and they are all arranged."

Li Bao'er nodded, for example, the emperor, or Di Renjie, or Zhang Yizhi's, if given away, these six items are not enough to distribute.But giving these utensils is better than giving gifts. It is elegant and not impeachable, and it also forms a good relationship, which will be of great help to his future career.After thinking about Guan Jian, Li Gu'er didn't force it anymore.

Wang Hua only ordered someone to open a piece of porcelain, but did not open it again, and made a gesture to Zheng Silang.It's your turn.

In fact, Zheng Silang was very confident about the next piece of porcelain, but after seeing this piece of porcelain painted by Wang, his face became heavy.But he still asked people to bring the porcelain up.

The maid carefully opened it.

If there is such a thing as a collision now, there is no doubt that these two pieces of porcelain have somewhat crashed.The same celadon, the same theme of lotus.It's just that one is lotus petals and the other is lotus patterns.And this piece of porcelain finally made Wang Hua see the real secret color porcelain in this world.

In fact, the saying of secret color porcelain comes from the Five Dynasties. Porcelain made in the best porcelain kiln in Yuezhou is only allowed to pay tribute.But the Tang Dynasty did not have this rule, otherwise the Zheng family would not be able to get this kind of porcelain.

This is a Yue kiln celadon lotus bowl holder, which is composed of two parts: a bowl and a bowl holder.It is very similar to the treasure unearthed from Famen Temple in Wang Hua's previous life. The bowl has a straight mouth and deep belly, and the outer wall is decorated with embossed lotus flowers. However, that one has three lotus groups, and this one has nine lotus groups.There are seven sets of bowls in that piece, and nine sets of bowls in this piece.The porcelain body is off-white, fine and dense, with uniform and pure particles, and the center of the support is flat. The green glaze is applied. The glaze layer is thick and consistent throughout. "The Nine Autumn Winds and Dew Kiln Opens Over the Kiln, Dazzling Thousands of Peaks and Green Colors" described in ", and the lake green as "a stream of clear spring water" described by Mr. Chen Wanli.Although the appearance of this holder is slightly inferior to that one, it is also thick and dignified in shape, with moderate proportions, smooth lines, plump and gorgeous, and the whole body is like a blooming lotus flower. It is ingenious and natural.

In fact, it can be said that the competition between the two has been brilliant and breathtaking.All the people, especially the people from the Zhihe area who came this time, have a preliminary understanding of porcelain, and they can better understand the value of these porcelains.

Wang Hua made a gesture to the referees and said, "Please judge again."

PS: As for the referenced porcelain, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will be uploaded to the outer chapter, which is related to the work. If you are interested, you may wish to take a look.
