Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 631
"The first doubt is the device type."

"In the Ming Dynasty, there was indeed a custom of imitating three-color Mingware, but people at that time pursued the majestic style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so most of the imitation utensils came from the Tang Dynasty, and there were very few three-color porcelain made in the style of the Song Dynasty."

"As for this phoenix-head pot, the neck of the pot is decorated with string patterns, and it is easy to hold, and the handle is removed. This is actually an improvement after the shape of the phoenix-head pot was introduced into China during the Five Dynasties period. It reduces the difficulty of craftsmanship in terms of the shape of the vessel, but The sense of beauty is correspondingly reduced, and it does not conform to the style of the Ming people adoring the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, there are many imitations of Tang Dynasty phoenix-head pots unearthed in Ming Dynasty, and there are very few long-necked Wuzhuo, but it is not absolutely there, is it?" Liu Zichun is not an ordinary person, and immediately refuted.

"Yes, but as far as I know, the phoenix-head pots unearthed in the Ming Dynasty so far either have pot handles and are all imitated in the Tang Dynasty, or they are all non-holding, bare neck, and the shape of the phoenix head is simplified as much as possible, right? ? Has anyone seen the bright three-color bottle?"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then looked at the old man.

The old man shook his head: "I haven't seen it either, Zichun, I guess the reason why your store named this pot as the Ming Dynasty is because there is no red and porcelain body, right?"

"That's right." Liu Zichun is a little bit misleading now: "Ming Sancai does not use red, which is distinguished from Tang and Song Dynasty in history, and is called "Plain Sancai". ', because there are some red glazes distributed on the head of the pot, but it can be seen from the bottom quality that the firing temperature is relatively high. It is porcelain rather than pottery. The quality of the body conforms to the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. We believe that the red color was deliberately imitated by craftsmen, so we designated it as the imitation of Tang Sancai in Ming Dynasty."

"That makes sense." The old man nodded.

"Moreover, there is another feature of this porcelain, let us characterize it as an imitation of Tang Dynasty." Liu Zichun said.

"Then we don't need it?"

"Yes, samples were taken from these two places at that time." Li Jianguo said: "This will cause the least damage to cultural relics."

"Don't make trouble! There are too many real and fake porcelains in our place. It is really necessary to install equipment."

"Then how does Uncle Liu explain this gourd-like waist?" Zhou Zhi turned the spout of the phoenix-headed pot to face Liu Zichun: "How do you explain this part? The bottom of the pot's neck should be shaped like a weeping pear. For a section, it seems that the graceful lines are missing, and it becomes a little stiff?"

"The counterfeiter's method is very clever, and the repair technology is also very good. He forcibly integrated two remnants of the Tang Dynasty into one place. After re-glazing and re-firing, there is almost no defect from the appearance, and even the flow pattern is reproduced vividly."

"Except for the opening of the newly repaired part." Fei Guan also understood: "This also explains the reason why the connecting line between the abdomen and the neck is not beautiful, because it was originally created by force!"

"Do you have this equipment in your province?" Liu Zichun was so jealous: "You really are a big dog! We have made so many reports and they are not approved!"

"Let's talk about things, don't delay Lao Lin's shooting." Fei Guan said.

"Yes." The old man said with a smile: "Elbow just found a rare item in Daliushu a few days ago. He should have a deep understanding of this."

"But there are many Sancai movies that haven't been released yet," Lao Lin said.

So he opened his mouth and said, "But how can Uncle Liu explain that if the glaze water imitation of Tang Sancai is so good, why there are fly wing patterns on the upper and lower sides, except for the small circle where we feel uncomfortable and the lines are not smooth?" How about no fly wings?"

"What Mr. Liu said, it should be the pattern of fly wings, right?"

"But it happened on the same piece of utensil, there is nothing in the middle when the two ends are open, is there?!" Lin Wanqiu didn't have the slightest courtesy to her cheap father, and directly attacked.

"More than that." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "This should be a splicing of three remnants. The bottom and feet are exposed, and the belly and phoenix head come from two Tang Sancai wares respectively."

"Because refiring will also cause some changes in the original pieces, the original fly-wing pattern of this tricolor porcelain is slightly different from the two-headed fly-wing pattern of Tang Dynasty tricolor porcelain." Zhou Zhi explained: "However, if the bottom feet of the Ming Dynasty are added, it becomes an artifact of the Ming Dynasty imitating the Tang Dynasty."

"What?" Li Jianguo and Liu Zichun put their heads together again and took a closer look with a magnifying glass.

"Yes, although the porcelain body was only available in the Song and Ming Dynasties, the opening of the glaze has the characteristics of the Tang Sancai fly-wing pattern, so we think it was a very delicate imitation at that time."

"There is only one explanation." Zhou Zhi put the pot back on the coffee table: "This is a new counterfeiting process, splicing residual vessels and refiring."

The steps were handed ingeniously, and Liu Zichun immediately said: "Yes, the appraisal level of the Shaanxi Province Cultural Relics Headquarters Store can be regarded as the highest among our brothers Shanwen. Instrument identification, this is really..."

"Several old experts in the store also verified it at that time." Liu Zichun said: "Indeed, this phoenix-head pot has some slight flaws in this section, and the waist part does not conform to the shape of the phoenix-head pot. Craftsmanship, the Fengshouhu has long been separated from the original metal version, and there have been many types of vessels, and we cannot completely deny that such types of vessels do not exist, right?"

"Uncle Li, where did you take the samples from when you did the monitoring?" Before Li Jianguo could speak, Zhou Zhi turned the phoenix head pot over: "If I'm not wrong, it should be from the inner side of this ring foot, here , and here, right?"

"That's right!" Lin Wanqiu didn't understand why just now, but now she suddenly realized: "It was originally a broken weapon, and the neck part was repaired later, so there is no filming!"

"Yuzi, this phoenix-head pot is really weird, how do you think it was made?" the old man asked.

"As a Ming imitation, if you can imitate the opening piece of Tang Sancai, even if it is only 'similar', it can definitely become a high-quality Ming imitation."

"No way..." Li Jianguo picked up both the magnifying glass and the pot: "We used the latest equipment in the province to do a carbon [-] identification. It is indeed an object from the middle of the Ming Dynasty..."

Lin Wanqiu was a little anxious, isn't the old man this uncle's uncle, why did he keep calling Liu Zichun?

"What? How is it possible?!" Liu Zichun was so surprised that he couldn't care less about being polite, and reached out to Zhou Zhi: "Elbow, show me the magnifying glass!"

"If it weren't for that, Uncle Liu wouldn't have sent it to Uncle Lin, right?"

"But why did he add a circle foot from the Ming Dynasty? Wouldn't it be better to find someone from the Tang Dynasty and pretend to be Tang Sancai?" Liu Zichun asked.

After Liu Zichun read it carefully, he couldn't help becoming suspicious: "It's true, there is no movie opening for this episode..."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Lao Lin: "Boss Lin, I'm really sorry."

In his tone, what Dang Zhouzhi said was actually the truth.

Mr. Lin quickly waved his hands: "Brothers can come to cheer me up to give me face. No one wants to see this kind of thing. Such a new method is indeed beyond our understanding."

Fei Guan also smoothed things over: "Fortunately, it didn't cause any bad consequences. If the fakes didn't flow into the market from us, then everything is easy to say. However, Brother Liu will report the loss calculation to the head office. Maybe Lao Li, I also want to give an explanation to the national head office..."
