My system is not decent

Chapter 695 Windfall
Even without entering the auction market, just a little evaluation, the price of any real secret color porcelain can exceed tens of millions.

This is the secret color porcelain, the real secret color porcelain, the price is so high.

Even in some respects, secret color porcelain is more valuable than Ru kiln wares.

The first aspect is the degree of cherishment of the secret color porcelain.

Compared with the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, the identity of the secret color porcelain is not bad at all.

The second aspect is the stock of the world. The stock of this thing is too small, much less than Ru kiln wares.

In this regard, the research value and historical value of secret color porcelain are much higher than that of Ru kiln wares.

But, again, if you have a small stock, superb craftsmanship, and perfect appearance, you may not necessarily be able to surpass some fine porcelains of later generations.

In this regard, Ru kiln wares are obviously more famous, and generally speaking, the craftsmanship level of Ru kiln wares is higher than that of secret color porcelain.

Of course, this refers to the general situation, and the second general situation is an outlier.

For example, some of the secret-color porcelains in the underground palace of Famen Temple, and the treasure of the town store in Hangzhou, if they are sold, their value will definitely not be lower than the fine Ru kiln wares in the Forbidden City.

In other words, if you take out any of these things, you can definitely fetch a sky-high price of [-] to [-] million yuan.

Therefore, identity is only added value, and the real value of a thing still depends on the craftsmanship and the degree of preservation.

When the four people carefully cut open the sagger and saw the small lotus bowl inside, they were all stunned.

Under the light, this little bowl is so pretty!
Like ice like jade, this statement is absolutely true, and the most important thing is that under the light, they saw a puddle of lake water.

If you haven’t seen it, you may think it’s an exaggeration, but when it’s actually presented in front of your eyes, you will know that a piece of porcelain can actually show such a beauty because of the different glaze colors applied.

It is as bright and clean as jade, as quiet as a lake, clear and green.

This is a clear stream of spring water. If you haven't seen this piece of porcelain, you definitely can't say such a thing.

What color is the lake green like spring water?There are even ripples on it?

This is not a static pool of water, but a lake with blue waves.

If you have to find a pool of water, you have to look inside the cup. There is nothing inside, but you can see a pool of water.

Looking at this piece of porcelain as a whole, it has a thick and dignified shape, moderate proportions, smooth lines, plump and gorgeous, and the whole body is like a blooming lotus.

It consists of two parts: a bowl and a cup holder. The bowl has a straight mouth and a deep belly. The outer wall is decorated with three groups of embossed lotus flowers. The cup holder is shaped like a bean. The ring feet are decorated with two groups of lotus in relief.

This lotus bowl is composed of seven groups of lotus flowers in various shapes. If you look carefully, the porcelain body is off-white, with fine and dense texture and even and pure particles.

Looking at the holder again, the center of the holder is flat, and there is a small round hole in the center that goes straight to the bottom of the vessel. The word "Xiangji" is engraved on the side of the hole. This is probably the manufacturer's mark, or the name of the kiln worker, or even the author's name.

During the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was no habit of saving money, and it was precious enough to see such two characters.

The whole body of this small bowl is glazed with green glaze, the glaze layer is thick and uniform throughout, and the most amazing thing is that the number of air bubbles in it is actually not too many.

"It's not broken!" Cao Qingchun said after a while.

"This porcelain is made up of two parts, haha."

Li Jinli's mind was the most agile, and he quickly figured out some things.

Chen Xingchen also smiled: "The height of this lamp holder is unusual. If X-rays are used, what will happen?"

"I can't tell it's a teacup, but it looks like a goblet? In this way, the location of the broken mark will be more subtle." Cao Qingchun also reacted.

"The workmanship is really exquisite. There are not many air bubbles on this piece of porcelain? This is even rarer!" Chen Xingchen finally began to care about the firing process.

A piece of work, of course, is the most important quality, if there is damage, such a beautiful piece of celadon, it would be a pity.

There is no defect, it is well preserved, and it is an extremely beautiful product. Under such circumstances, if the craftsmanship is up to standard, the value of this piece of porcelain will definitely exceed the sky.

As for the bubbles, this is definitely unavoidable, because the firing process at that time could not reduce the bubbles at all.

And these bubbles are the key to identifying the age of a piece of porcelain, and it is also a manifestation of the aging degree of a piece of porcelain.

Chen Wenzhe's gaze involuntarily fell on the air bubbles inside the secret-colored porcelain.

It turned out that when he made old things, he didn't think about making them old until the period before the Ming Dynasty, because he knew that many signs of aging could not be achieved simply by making them old.

At that time, he actually knew what it was, but he didn't know why!

In addition, he has inherited a lot of experience from his predecessors in making porcelain and firing it successfully.

However, in this process, he can only rely on the experience of his predecessors to perfectly burn the porcelain.

There are many details in it, and he doesn't grasp it well.

In other words, he couldn't grasp these details at all, and he didn't even know why he could make such good porcelain?

At this time, Chen Wenzhe had a little enlightenment when he saw this secret-colored porcelain.

He fired porcelain before, and after making the porcelain body, he dried it for a while, then painted and glazed it, and quickly put it into the kiln.

In fact, if there is no superb craftsmanship, the end result of doing this is to generate a large number of air bubbles, and these air bubbles will break through the glaze layer, forming pits on the entire surface of the porcelain!
So, what are the air bubbles in porcelain?How did it come about?
How can you know where the air bubbles come from without entering the kiln mouth and seeing the situation of the porcelain when it is fired?

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe also wanted to know why there are generally bubbles under the glaze of porcelain?
Unable to bear it, the backtracking skill was activated again, and this time Chen Wenzhe wanted to enter the firing kiln to see the firing process of the secret color porcelain.

Just by looking at it, Chen Wenzhe knew it.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because when firing porcelain, the high temperature will make the crystal water, or liquid water, in the glaze layer turn into gas.

When the glaze layer is thick, gaseous water molecules are covered by the glaze film and cannot be released, thus forming bubbles under the glaze.

When the glaze layer is thin, air bubbles break through the glaze layer film, forming a lot of pits on the glaze surface - pockmarks.

It turns out that Chen Wenzhe's ability to burn exquisite porcelain is definitely not because of how good he is, but because of the skills he inherited, or the benefits of modern technology.

In many cases, he can make good porcelain because he is firing celadon, because the glaze of celadon is thick, which can prevent the water molecules in the glaze from escaping.

Of course, when firing other types of porcelain, such as white porcelain, blue and white porcelain, etc., he can successfully fire it, depending on his usual accumulation and luck.

These, starting from practicing mud, can try to avoid accidents as much as possible.
