Chapter 1032 Tang Jun
“However, these are not up to the standard of the secret color tribute porcelain of the Famen Temple. They are almost all civilian items. They are used for my daily research and are not displayed here.”< br>
“There are also several items that should be from Dayi Qiong Kiln in the Tang Dynasty, including A white porcelain lotus leaf skimming plate is an absolute treasure, but because the kiln mouth is too special, it is still under study and has not been displayed."
"Really? ?”
“The color glaze is similar to that of Xing kiln, and the shape and pattern are similar to Yue kiln.”
"Let me see!" Lin Wanqiu could not hold back any longer.
Zhou Zhi opened the safe and took out the lotus leaf skimmer.
“At first glance, it looks like it’s from Xing kiln.” Lin Wanqiu turned the plate over and found that there was no stamp underneath.
In the Tang Dynasty, the porcelain system had not yet formed the official kiln system. The fine products in the Xing kiln that were brought to the palace would generally have two types of designations. At that time, the Hanlin Academy ordered the porcelain to be fired, and the two characters "Hanlin" would be engraved vertically.
One is to put it into the royal inner treasury for a large surplus, which will carry the "surplus" or "big surplus" money.
The similar white porcelain from the Ding kiln of the Five Dynasties rarely bears the word "official".
These markings are made by porcelain workers using tools before firing, and then fired in the furnace. Because the quality of the body, firing temperature and other information can be seen from the markings, it is easier to identify.
The plate Lin Wanqiu is seeing now has broken away from the habit of using cosmetic clay to decorate the porcelain embryo in the early Tang Dynasty. It uses relatively white clay to directly bake the light gray body. This is a similar plate to Yue kiln. Important Characteristics of Porcelain.
But judging from the fineness of the soil, it is closer to Xing kiln.
From the shape point of view, this plate is a skimming plate, shaped like a lotus leaf, and the veins of the lotus leaf are also hidden to make it more natural and beautiful.
The shape of the plate is similar to the Yue kiln lotus leaf plate, but dark flower carvings became more popular in the north in the early Tang Dynasty.
The rest is the glaze color and firing process. The glaze color is also similar to the Xing kiln white porcelain. The firing process is more advanced than the overlay firing process of the early Hutian kiln folk kilns, but it is backward than the later branch firing process. It belongs to the domestic This is a firing process where the glaze is fully covered with a slight flow of glaze.
Generally speaking, soil management, embryo making, and glaze adjustment have all reached a very high level in the mid-Tang Dynasty. However, in terms of furnace temperature and glaze application, they are still slightly inferior to the fine products offered during the same period.
“It’s very strange.” Lin Wanqiu turned the plate and watched: “All the features come from the two Tang Dynasty kilns in the north and south, but they are combined.”
“Qiong Kilns are recorded in history; It is said to be rich in white porcelain. "Zhou Zhi said: "But among the Tang Dynasty porcelain unearthed in Qionglai, most of them are non-white porcelain. Now some researchers believe that it is the distant ancestor of another Song Dynasty kiln, Changsha kiln. .”
“Because in later Qiong kiln porcelain, a lot of green glaze pointillism painting decoration was found, which is completely of the same origin as Changsha kiln, and the pointillism painting technique of Changsha kiln became the originator of later porcelain painting technique.”< br>
“But Changsha kiln and most Qiong kiln porcelain have loose texture and are decorated with cosmetic clay. Compared with this Qiong kiln skimming plate, their manufacturing process has undergone serious technological regression. "
"Is there any Qiong kiln white porcelain that is similar to this plate?"
"Yes," Zhou Zhi said, "But they are all fragments. This is the one you are holding.”
“Qiong kiln porcelain is probably the first to use copper and iron to color porcelain. The three-color technique is second to none and has influenced the Ming Dynasty.”
"It's a pity that this kiln entrance was excavated and destroyed by the 21st Army of the Tang Dynasty in the 36th year of the Republic of China. It also caused damage to the surrounding ancient tomb sites. It has almost no archaeological value now." "After the liberation, the government After several collections, Sichuan University also has several collections of green and white glaze and three-color pieces. As for the pure white glaze, there is only a fragment of a parrot cup and a sunflower plate at Sichuan University."
"It's difficult to put a price on it," Lin Wanqiu said. If compared with the auction price of Xing kiln's Daying porcelain, it is only about one million Hong Kong dollars."
“So I didn’t show it off.” Zhou Zhi said: “Hey, actually the thick glaze dotted ribbon kiln in the Qiong kiln can also be regarded as a ‘Tang Dynasty Jun kiln’, right? I’ll build a few Shenge kilns. The flower-glazed porcelain from Lushan Kiln or Yuzhou Kiln is used to decorate the facade. It is older than the Song and Jin Dynasties. Isn’t it considered a good idea? Are you ready?"
Zhou Zhi said that these three kiln mouths are the origins of Chinese flower glazes, which started in the Tang Dynasty. They are exactly the same as the Qiong kiln's flower glaze porcelain. The soil is light yellow, the bones are thick, and the glaze is applied The glaze color is thick, mostly dark brown, with a few yellow, and the patches include moon white, gray white, blue and so on.
Affected by the mild reducing environment of the kiln, the fired tires are magenta or light yellow, with many irregular patches, traces of flow, and occasionally kiln deformation characteristics.
Whether it is in terms of shape, glaze type, or glaze color, we can see the relationship between the flower-glazed porcelain at the entrance of these kilns and the Song and Jinjun kilns.
After the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty became popular, the Jun kiln began to claim that "the wealth of the family is not as good as the Jun kiln", so some collectors began to give the flower-glazed porcelain at the three kiln entrances the reputation of "Jun porcelain of the Tang Dynasty" , to create hype.
"Haha, if you are willing to deceive yourself like this, that's fine." Lin Wanqiu made Zhou Zhi laugh: "If you really have this idea, it is really a favor at no cost. But have you pursued 'hanging purple and receiving red'? "
The so-called "Tang Jun" usually has blue spots on a black background. Lin Wanqiu doesn't know which pot to open."
"You are already Tang Jun, what else are you pursuing?" Zhou Zhi also joked with Lin Wanqiu: "It is not far from the three-color Ming Dynasty."
Lin Wanqiu also made Zhou Zhi laugh, and laughed for a while before asking : "What are your arrangements for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Zhou Zhi was stunned: "I will go to school tomorrow."
"Is it necessary for you to go to that school?" Lin Wan Qiu said: "How about we let Zhang Cheng take him to house hunting? Fu Xia also said that he can accompany me to play."
"Isn't that great?" Zhou Zhi hesitated: "There is also a team in the computer department. Regarding the stall, my eldest brother will visit the Computer Research Center of Shu University tomorrow to listen to the work report of Hanwen Library. Even if there is no class, I have to go there to work..."
"Is it as exaggerated as you said? Fu Xia has been recording the show all day long, and I don't think it has delayed her graduate studies?"
"She is not doing her job properly." Zhou Zhi disagreed: "How about tomorrow? You come to Shu too Damn it, let’s ask Danzeng Fuxia to take us to the museum.”
“Get free labor to help with the appraisal?” Lin Wanqiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhi: “You’re pretty good with your calculations!”
< br>"Shu University The collection is also quite impressive." Zhou Zhi introduced sincerely: "There are Buddhist scrolls from the Song Dynasty, "Landscape Pictures" collaborated by Huang Gongwang and Wang Meng, "Small Portrait of Wen Zhengming" painted by Zhu Wenxin, and Jin Nong's lacquered book hall from the Qing Dynasty. , Zhang Daqian huge "Huangshan Pine Clouds", Bada Shanren's paintings, Zhang Zhao's calligraphy and other good things."
"Oh, by the way, there is also a set of album pages that you will definitely be very interested in. Liu Yin's album of grass and insects."< br>
"Liu Yin? Who is it?"
"You will know if I change my name, Liu Rushi."
"Then let's go to Shu University tomorrow!" Lin Wanqiu took the bait.
