My system is not decent

Chapter 1081 Undoubtedly Precious

The purple clay pottery is made of three iron feet, and the fable has a middle letter.

Yi Ci's original deed to withdraw from Tibet, and Song Zhao Hu boasted about everything.

This refers to the three-legged wash, which is a classic type of Ru kiln porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty in ancient my country.

It is a pity that there is only one handed down product, which is now collected in the Palace Museum in Shendu.

This three-legged wash is covered with azure glaze inside and outside, and the glaze is covered with fine grains.

The bottom is full of glaze, with 5 small nail marks.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to this wash, and once wrote a poem for it, which was engraved on the outer bottom of the utensil by a court jade craftsman, and was signed "Qianlong Wuxu Xiayu Title".

This vessel is simple in shape and regular in production. The glaze is light azure, soft and moist.

It is 3.6 centimeters tall, 18.6 centimeters in diameter, and 16.7 centimeters apart.

It is not big in size, and it can even be said to be small and exquisite.

The most important thing is that the shape of the vessel is simple, but it is an antique bronze style porcelain.

It has a straight mouth and a flat bottom, with five small nail marks distributed on the bottom, and three curved feet standing on top of each other.

The shape of this three-legged wash is very simple and elegant, and the production is strict and meticulous. The bottom of the mouth is clear and neat, and there is a string pattern around the mouth.

Glazed inside and outside, the color is slightly lighter, with ice shards, and the glaze color is lustrous and moist, showing the special charm of Ru kiln celadon.

This elegant and elegant color sense may be the main reason why Song Huizong "abandoned and used Ru" in the past, and it was also a reflection of the fashion of the upper class at that time and the ruler's aesthetic taste.

It is very simple to imitate such a three-legged washing machine, but it is as difficult as heaven to imitate it well!

In modern times, various Ru kiln factions often imitate and burn some three-legged washing.

And the imitation firing templates of each family are obviously the only Ru kiln three-legged washing handed down in the Palace Museum.

However, from many pictures, we can notice that the only handed down product has obvious grinding marks on its feet.

This point can be compared and proved by the narcissus basin that is recognized by the Wanwan Palace Museum as having ground the soles of the feet.

As a result, what the original shape of the Ru kiln's three-legged washing feet has become a mystery.

Since it is a mystery, special attention must be paid to imitating it.

Strictly speaking, a three-legged washing machine can be said to be a dish.

A plate, plus three legs, becomes a classic three-legged washer, and this kind of azure-glazed three-legged washer, as long as it is born, can usually be sold for a sky-high price.

There is no doubt about the value of Ru porcelain. In the auction market, Ru porcelain is basically synonymous with sky-high prices.

Not to mention those other large-scale Ru porcelain styles, just the fine-quality products that also belong to the Ru kiln three-legged washing, the auction price is basically more than [-] million.

I talked about the price of some three-legged washers with Wu San before, but those years are far away, and Chen Wenzhe and the others are all limited to the three-legged washers of Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty.

If you relax the age and only count the three-legged washes of the Song Dynasty, the number will be large.

In the 2010 Xiangjiang Spring Art Treasures Auction, CITIC International Auction Co., Ltd. auctioned a Song Dynasty Ru Kiln tripod washing for 16 yuan.

In the spring auction of 2016, CITIC International Auction Co., Ltd. auctioned a Song Dynasty Ru Kiln tripod washing machine for 14 yuan.

In the 2018 boutique auction, Xiangjiang Rongsheng International Auction Co., Ltd. auctioned a Song Dynasty Ru kiln three-legged washing machine for 23 yuan.

It can be seen from this that as long as it is a three-legged washing machine from the Song Dynasty, not necessarily a three-legged washing machine from the Northern Song Dynasty, it can easily be auctioned for a price of tens of millions.

In fact, it can be confirmed that the above three pieces are definitely not produced by Ruguan kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty, because if they were, the propaganda would definitely not say that they were from the Song Dynasty, but would directly say that they were from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the reason why these three Ru kiln three-legged washers cost less than [-] million yuan must be because they came from the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for whether it is an official kiln or not, it has to be said separately, because the official kiln porcelain was not specifically marked when it was publicized.

If it is an official kiln, the propagandist will definitely write a special book, how can it be hidden without revealing it?
Even so, among porcelains, especially those with simple shapes, it is very difficult to sell them at such a price for other types and kilns.

As far as Chen Wenzhe knows, among the simple antique porcelains, especially plates, small butterflies and other porcelains, there are really not many that can sell for tens of millions.

If there is a miracle, it must be Ru kiln. For example, in 1992 in the beautiful country of New York, a small Ru kiln dish was sold for 1.4 million yuan, creating a miracle in the world's ceramic auction history.

You know, that was in [-], thirty years have passed since now.

At that time, a small dish could sell for [-] million yuan. How perfect is such a porcelain work?
First of all, it must come from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and secondly, it must be perfect in appearance. If one of these conditions is missing, it is impossible for it to sell for a sky-high price of more than [-] million.

Of course, it’s not a good thing, even if it’s Ru kiln official kiln porcelain, even if it’s all the famous models of the emperors in the past, can it be sold at this price?

Ru porcelain is worthy of being one of the most precious porcelain in China.

And as a classic three-legged washing machine, how difficult is it to collect one?

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe is holding this three-legged washing with azure glaze from the Ruguan Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, how precious it is!
And to make such a batch of high-quality three-legged washes, we must strive for excellence.

So what was the hardest part about making this type of device?
Certainly not the plate above it, but the three legs below it.

The color and roughness of the wear marks on the bottom feet are almost the same.

Currently, there are two views on this issue.

The first is the washing bottom foot, the original shape should be a water drop shape.

The second is the prototype of the washing foot, which is not a simple drop shape, but another shape.

The first is the theory of water drop shape, which is also the shape adopted by most Ru porcelain imitation works currently on the market.

Therefore, we can know that this view is still accepted by most people in the industry.

Scholars who hold this point of view believe that the soles of the washing feet in the Shendu Forbidden City are only slightly worn, so when they are not worn, the bottom feet should be in the shape of water droplets.

The reason why it is made into a drop shape should be designed by craftsmen in the Northern Song Dynasty according to some uses of "washing", and there is certain archaeological evidence.

The foot fragments unearthed from the Ru kiln site of Qingliang Temple in Nanhe, some of which have a drop-shaped foot, but it is not certain whether it comes from a three-legged wash.

Second, other shapes.

With the discovery of the ruins of the Ru Kiln, many breakthroughs have been made in the research of Ru Porcelain, and new and important clues have been provided for solving the mystery of the three-legged Xizu shape.

In 2000, the Ru Kiln Ru Kiln Ru Kiln site of the Northern Song Dynasty was unearthed in [-]. There are many fragments showing that the feet are obviously not drop-shaped, but slightly protruding from the lower end.

The bottom foot in the Shendu Forbidden City collection is just like this type of vessel that lacks the lower half of the foot.

As a result, many people speculate whether the Song Ru three-legged wash in the Forbidden City is the wear mark left by the broken foot and the grinding?
So should the shape of the three-legged wash be the same as the unearthed remains?
