Chapter 707

Xu Desheng gently picked up the jar and looked at it carefully. It took more than an hour to see it.

"This is indeed a yellow-on-red, and it is the best of the yellow-on-red. What is rare is that the preserved product is very good, and there is hardly any flaws."

"I've never seen such a good piece of Huang Shanghong, Song Yun, you are so lucky."

Xu Desheng shook his head and sighed.

"Zhu Lao, Xu Lao, to be honest, I don't know much about Huang Shanghong. I wanted to find some information, but since you are here, can you tell me?"

Song Yun picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng. This was definitely not flattering. He knew that this was definitely a good thing, but he didn't know what exactly it was good for or how precious this porcelain was. , I don't want to find some information, but since Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng are two experts in front of me, I'm not ashamed to ask, they can completely solve the problem, and I don't need to work hard.

Xu Desheng looked at Tang Miaomiao who was sitting next to him.

"Do you know anything about Huang Shanghong?!"

Xu Desheng knew that Song Yun entered the industry relatively late, and porcelain like Huang Shanghong was not common.

"Elder Xu!"

"I don't know much about this porcelain!"

"In fact, it's not much different from Song Yun!"

Tang Miaomiao shook her head, she really didn't know much about this kind of porcelain.

"Actually, I really don't blame you at all. Huang Shanghong is not the same as the Yuan blue and white porcelain we usually know, and it can be regarded as a kind of precious porcelain."

"Porcelain is divided into two categories: white porcelain and colored porcelain. In simple terms, the former is white and the latter is colored."

"Yellow on Red" is a very precious variety of colored porcelain in the history of the development of imperial porcelain.

"It is very rare now, one is because the production process is very complicated, and the other is because this kind of porcelain is only used by the court."

"This directly leads to a result that we can see that there are not many yellows and reds now, because the original production is very small. To put it bluntly, it is only used by the emperor and those concubines. Yes, there must be damage in the process of use, and since it has been passed down for hundreds of years, there are really few pieces left."

While talking, Xu Desheng looked at Huang Shanghong on the table, stopped for a while and then continued.

"This thing is a jar. It is huge and even more rare."

Zhu Deyuan nodded, the fact is that the number of Huang Shanghong handed down is very small.

"Old man Xu is right. Because Huangshanghong is only used by the emperor, the overall number is much smaller than other diameters, and even fewer have been passed down."

"Besides that, the craftsmanship of Huangshanghong is very complicated."

"In terms of craftsmanship, first, the yellow glaze is used as the background color, and after the outlines are outlined, the alum red is covered, so that the alum red under the yellow glaze is formed. From the surface, it is the decoration of the red ground and yellow color, which is the yellow on the red. At the same time, it also There is another name called 'red ground yellow color', because of the large area of ​​alum red, in strong contrast, the yellow color decoration is very noble. This is the color of the emperor, and it was specially fired for the emperor by the palace manufacturing office of the Ming Dynasty. Imperial porcelain. On the other hand, Huang Shanghong from the Jiajing Dynasty required three kilns to be fired.”

"First, write the inscription on the drawn embryo with blue and white material, cover it with a transparent glaze, and enter the kiln for the first firing. At this time, the temperature is as high as 1300 degrees. After the bisque is fired, it is poured with yellow glaze. The second firing will be carried out. At this time, the temperature is controlled at 800 degrees to 900 degrees. The finished product is the overall yellow glaze porcelain. After leaving the kiln, the selection is made. The third step is to use a black pen or a red pen to outline the dragon and phoenix on the surface of the enamel. Flowers and other decorations, the yellow glaze after the decoration is covered with alum red in a large area to highlight the yellow theme decoration, which forms the red ground yellow color. After this work is completed, the third firing will be carried out, and the final product It will be yellow-on-red-colored porcelain with red and yellow superimposed."

Song Yun was very surprised. He had no idea that Huangshanghong porcelain had to go through three kilns during the firing process. Maybe some people thought it was nothing special. In fact, it was very scary. In any event, accidents may occur, let alone three times, the possibility of failure is infinitely magnified.

"It is very difficult to get a yellow-on-red in good condition. The one you missed is exquisite and beautiful, with a magnificent glaze. It is definitely the best-quality yellow-on-red."

"It really makes people have to admire your good luck!"

Xu Desheng shook his head as he spoke. Needless to say, Song Yun's eyesight was equally invincible in the world. You must know that no matter how good your eyesight is, it can only work if you encounter it.

"Hehehe!"

"Hehehe!"

"My luck is indeed good!"

Song Yun had absolutely no way to deny this matter. In fact, when he thought about it carefully, the process of getting this yellow on top of red was not enough to admit that it was luck.
