Carefully distinguish the three colors

My Enlightenment and Enlightenment Mentor is an old antique dealer, Sun Jingpin, who was a famous figure in the antique world before liberation. Ms. Sun is an apprentice in an antique shop. Although his education level is not high, he is talented and highly dedicated. When he was thirteen years old, he came to Shanghai for a student. He first learned fur embroidering, later learned antiques, porcelain, jade, copper, stone and other proficient, and can speak fluent English. Before the liberation, the antique operators had the distinction between foreign and local villages. The foreign and domestic products referred to the Chinese antiques that were favored by Europeans and Americans, including the French Zhuang and the American Zhuang. The Zhuangzi goods refer to the Chinese people's favorite goods. In the 1940s, Sun opened its Changxing antique store on the first floor of the Sassoon Building (now the North Tower of the Peace Hotel) on the 20th Shanghai Bund. It also hired a British lady to be a salesperson and specialize in foreign business. He also set up the Yihua Antiques and concurrently took the business in the antique market of Wuma Road (now Guangdong Road). The main customers include the famous Tianlu shoe store owner before the liberation. After entering the public-private partnership in 1956, he entered the Shanghai Arts & Crafts Import & Export Corporation.

Since I entered the Shanghai Arts & Crafts Import & Export Corporation, I have been visiting Sun's family every Spring Festival almost every year. Every time he took out some antiques for family appreciation and guidance. I remember for the first time in the Spring Festival in 1960, I went to Mr. Sun's house. He took out a white enamel pottery ware of Dehua, which resembled the bronze utensils of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was oversized and had a diameter of more than 20 centimeters. There were also ears, and the enamel was ivory and yellow. Dehua kiln such a large device is very rare. I immediately thought of the knowledge I had learned in the recent past. After careful observation, I thought that it was something in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The teacher nodded resolutely and said I was correct. There is something missing in this ear. The teacher said that in order to make money before liberation, the intact object is always sold first. If you come across something that is good, but you have a minor defect, you will leave it for you to enjoy. At the time, I also showed me a white bowl of three-colored three-fruit bowl. The color was moist and simple. She painted the three-fruit pattern of longevity, multiple sons, and more blessings like peach, pomegranate, and bergamot. At the bottom, there was a year of the Qing Emperor Kangxi. "Blue and white double ring models. The teacher said that you have a closer look at what's special about this item. After I examined it carefully, I discovered that the inside and outside walls of the fetus had dark lines on the fetus. The bowl shape, glaze color, and knowledge of the bowl all indicate typical artifacts of the Guan dynasty during the Kangxi period. Unfortunately, there are two small flushes along the mouth, but it is now worth a lot.

Su San Cai refers to the yellow, green, and purple colors of the glaze on the porcelain, where the "three" is more than the meaning is not limited to these three colors, there are other green glaze, black, white and other glaze colors, But no red. The three-colored "primary" word has two meanings. One is that the glaze is painted directly on the prime fetus, but not on the white glaze that is burned. The second is never to use red. The production process of San San Cai is to first mark the decorated pattern on the molded tire, put it into the kiln by high temperature firing, and then apply the glaze color, and then burn it into the kiln at the second low temperature to produce a finished product. Susan Sanchuang was burnt in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. Jingdezhen Ming Dynasty kiln factory site once unearthed a Chenghua kiln three-color duck-shaped aromatherapy, beautifully shaped, glaze has been more mature. Su Sancai developed to the peak in the Qing Emperor Kangxi. There are three varieties of white, three-color, three-color, and three-colored. The shape is rich and varied, and the glaze is simple and noble, becoming an important category of Kangxi porcelain. After three years of the Qing Dynasty, Su Sancai rarely burned. Until the late Qing and early Republic of China, Europeans and Americans, especially the French, were very popular. The prices soared. Antique dealers began to imitate a lot, and the imitation of superbs often made it difficult for the beginner to distinguish between authenticity and authenticity.

I remember that in early 1970, when I and Sun went to the antique market of Guangdong Road, I was routinely acquired and I saw a satin-colored Lohan seated image. Luo Handu sat on a rectangular base and was dressed in painted enamels. His workmanship was fine, and the patterns on the clothes were rich and colorful. The facial features of Lohan were particularly refined. The old mages in the antique market all said that they were works of the Kangxi period. When I was about to ask the seller for quotation, Miss Sun took me out and told me that it was Guangxu imitation of the Hexie. From Guangxu to 1989, imitation of Kangxi porcelain in Huizhou, Anhui Province, was very good, and it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity from the authenticity. The main point of the identification was the slight difference in the color of the glaze. The fetus did not have a solid Kangxi seal, and the thickening of the tire was slightly thicker than that of Kangxi. The burlap bottom of the imitation goods is very realistic, and the right-hand rift should be deliberately made out of the imitation.
