Chapter 1549 The Porcelain is Most Valuable in Porcelain Clay
Now when appraising porcelain, especially porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty, all those with Hongwu inscription must be analyzed in combination with glaze, decoration and other aspects.

As a result, many people can't see the latter sentence, that is: "Anyone with Hongwu inscriptions must be analyzed in combination with the glaze and decoration."

It has been handed down to the present, it is directly the official kiln wares without Hongwu's inscription, as long as they appear, they are all fakes and fakes.

Therefore, there will be a fictional "Daming Hongwu year system" blue and white underglaze red character story picture plum vase.

Besides, the market value of Hongwu porcelain is very high, so it is more common to write Hongwu's signature on antique porcelain.

For example, the imitation "Hongwu Six Years" underglaze red pine bamboo plum jade pot spring bottle.

It is a pity that such imitations are quite different from the real ones in terms of glaze, shape, and decoration.

Of course, we should be more vigilant about all kinds of fabrications in Hongwu Years of other books.

There are many articles now, all talking about, so far, no Hongwu reign mark porcelain has been seen.

However, was there any money left during the Hongwu period?
In fact, there are still some, otherwise, Chen Wenzhe wouldn't have to worry about it.

Although it is only seen in the collection of the Haihai Museum, the plum vase decorated with the word "Chunshou" written in seal script on the shoulders, no official kiln wares with the "Hongwu" date have been found.

However, as long as there is an inscription, why can't the inscription made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty not be left?
Concerning whether Hongwu official kilns have inscriptions or not, the debate in the collector circle has never ceased and remains unresolved.

However, Chen Wenzhe knew that in a museum in Nanhe Province, there was a blue and white plum vase "Made in the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty".

If it is genuine, then it should be a piece of cultural relics preserved in the National Museum.

But unfortunately, this blue and white plum vase has not attracted enough attention.

I don't know which museum it is, I don't think it is genuine, or there are other reasons.

Maybe they don't have enough self-confidence?

This is also helpless, many collectors, especially collectors who have been collecting for a long time, have more or less important treasures in their homes.

For example, the Hongwu porcelain made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and these are some heavy wares such as underglaze red and blue and white underglaze red.

There are so many collectors like this, who would think that the porcelain made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty in their collection is genuine?
Even if some have obvious signs of aging, or simply say that they are genuine antiques, such as porcelain from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, they are not recognized.

Because some documents believe that all the porcelains made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty that have been seen so far are all imitations of the Wanli period.

Since it is an imitation model, there must be something that can be imitated.

Hongwu porcelain has been handed down to a very small number, and only a few examples of folk kiln wares with clear dates have been found.

But it has not been confirmed by well-known ceramic experts.

Since Hongwu has established the official kiln system, there must be a standard for distinguishing official kilns from private kilns.

As an official kiln, it naturally has a chronological style.

And this is also the reason why some fabricators continue to fabricate Hongwu porcelain.

Now there are still rumors in the market, such as Hongwu Chronicle Red Plum Vase in Glaze, Hongwu Chronicle Character Story Plum Vase, Hongwu Chronicle Blue and White Covered Jar.

In fact, Chen Wenzhe doesn't care about these. What he cares about is these porcelains. If they are really old enough, are they Wanli imitations?
Some experts have identified the discovered Hongwu porcelain as a Ming Wanli imitation, but many people disagree.

The main reason is that these real antique porcelains with the inscriptions made in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty are of good quality.

Whether a piece of porcelain is good or not depends not only on the decoration and shape, but also on the soil.

There is no way to falsify this, because good fetal soil is rare now, let alone in the early Ming Dynasty?

Especially in the early Ming Dynasty, the fetal soil in Zhu Yuanzhang's period was Macang soil, and it was very good Macang soil.

"Yinliuzhai Talking about Porcelain" says: "The most expensive porcelain is porcelain clay."

In terms of geology, it is a kind of viscous alluvial soil.

With the passage of time, the fetal soil of the Hongwu Dynasty still continued the fetal soil of the Yuan Dynasty, and a large amount of porcelain clay from Macang Mountain was used, and the "dual formula" was still adopted.

As for the understanding of Ma Cang soil, according to "Porcelain Mirror", Ma Cang soil was very tense in the middle of Chenghua period, and completely dried up in the late Wanli period.

Therefore, the fetal soil in Wanli was not refined and there were many impurities, so it was impossible to have such a good fetal soil.

Secondly, there are still some imported Soviet materials with high iron content in Hongwu dynasty green materials.

After firing, sometimes the blue and white are grayish in color, but the green material still sinks, the rust penetrates into the bone and settles, and the unevenness is obvious.

Third, the green material in the early Wanli period was Huiqing, which was blue-purple in color, thick and gorgeous;
In the middle stage, Huiqing is mixed with Shiziqing, and the color is bright and bright blue;
In the late period, the proportion of Shiziqing increased, and the color was blue and medium gray, instead of gray and black as shown in the picture.

Fourth, despite the frequent wars in the early Ming Dynasty, the kilns were still in full swing, and did not stagnate due to this.

During this period, the imperial kiln factories continuously fired a large number of blue and white porcelain for the imperial court.

Since there are official kilns and private kilns, it is not surprising that there are official kiln porcelains of the "Daming Hongwu Year System" style with the Hongwu reign name.

It's just that no official kiln inscriptions with a date have been found in the past, and the most important point is that there are no clear archaeological discoveries.

As for the folk porcelain, no matter how many people approve it, there will always be more people who don't.

This is a typical phenomenon of Wen Wu first and Wu Wu second.

In fact, through some modern scientific and technological means, combined with traditional identification methods, some things can still be determined.

For example, through the microscopic characteristics of artifacts, combined with traditional identification knowledge, it is easy to get some clear results.

It's just that some experts now absolutely do not recognize some modern methods, even if they are used as references.

In fact, they are either stupid or bad.

For self-interest, it is naturally impossible to admit some things.

Things like this abound.

Chen Wenzhe had heard about it before, and someone was serious and conducted a scientific analysis on a plum vase that was said to be a fake.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe does not support purely scientific identification, but there is evidence that he supports it.

Take the Hongwu character story plum bottle as an analysis, and we can see many things from the microcosm.

For example, the glazed surface of utensils has obvious large, medium and small bubbles, layered upon layer.

There are also white bubbles, as well as mesh patterns, geometric figures, color-changing bubbles, breach bubbles and death bubbles;
The bottom foot is obviously made of hemp warehouse soil, which contains iron oxide blue material, and shows the change process of green, blue and brown in the redox reaction.

Bottom foot soil, obviously elegant and natural flint red, concave and convex black spots;
The glazed surface is uneven, and there are natural oxidation marks such as tire bonding, wear, devitrification, and cow hair patterns, which shows that the utensils conform to the characteristics of utensils in the early Ming Dynasty.

At the very least, this should be an old thing, because the new imitation cannot imitate many characteristics of the microstructure.
