    Generally speaking, pottery is not very valuable in the antique market, and collection is also a niche category. This is because making pottery is much simpler than porcelain.  For example, the firing temperature of pottery is as low as 800ˇć, and the highest is only around 1100ˇć.  The firing temperature of porcelain is relatively high, mostly above 1200ˇăC, and some even reach around 1400ˇăC.  Moreover, the materials and workmanship of most pottery are not as particular as those of porcelain.  The combination of these factors means that even the pottery unearthed in the Neolithic Age is generally not of much interest, let alone the pottery of the Qin and Han Dynasties.  But of course everything cannot be generalized. There are also high-quality products among pottery, such as the famous Tang Sancai, and distant ones such as the painted pottery of the Yangshao Culture, the black pottery of the Longshan Culture, etc. There are many high-quality products among them, and their collection value is very high.  .  Majiayao culture is a local type of Yangshao culture that developed westward.  After the decline of the painted pottery of the Yangshao Culture in the Central Plains, the painted pottery of the Majiayao Culture continued to develop for hundreds of years, pushing the painted pottery culture to unprecedented heights.  Majiayao culture is represented by painted pottery. Its shapes are rich and colorful, and the patterns are extremely varied and colorful. It is an unparalleled wonder in the history of the development of painted pottery in the world. It can be said to be the most splendid culture created by the ancient ancestors of mankind.  It is the pinnacle of the development of painted pottery art.  The painted pottery pot that Chu Chen holds in his hands is a typical painted pottery style of the Majiayao culture.  This pot has an open mouth with a thin lip, a short neck, slippery shoulders, a pair of flat lugs on both sides of the bulging belly, and a small flat bottom.  The body of the pot is decorated with patterns of gods and figures painted in black.  This decorative pattern has a unique composition and is a typical decoration of the Majiayao culture. The contrast between the decorative patterns and the orange-red pottery clothing is even more intense.  In addition, there is some white substance on the pot body.  These should be a kind of skin shell formed naturally because the painted pottery has been buried in the ground for more than a thousand years in an area containing serious alkaline and acidic chemicals.  This kind of leather shell will reappear even if it is cleaned repeatedly. Only by repeatedly scraping it with a sharp instrument and then cleaning it with hydrochloric acid-powered saliva can a satisfactory removal effect be achieved.     certainly.  As long as they are valuable antiques, they will always be faked. People who forge leather cases usually use pesticides such as diammonium, urea, chemical fertilizers, or strong alkali-containing substances such as vinegar, mix them with water, and soak them for many days.  Shells in similar situations will also appear later.  But there is a pungent smell, while the real thing has an earthy smell and is not choking.  In addition, if you choose a humid area with strong alkalinity and bury the fake product, this white powdery skin will appear after many days.  However, this fake method is used because the time is short.  As a result, the corrosion is shallow and can be removed with a little cleaning.  Although Bao Jue already knew that this painted pottery pot should be an authentic one, Chu Chen still went up to it and smelled it. The result was that it had a normal earthy smell. He scratched it lightly with his fingernail, and it was indeed the characteristics of an authentic product.  Then Chu Chen observed it carefully and confirmed that this thing should be an authentic product from Majiayao, and judging from the appearance, it can be said to be a relatively rare product.  A piece of painted pottery that is readily available.  It turned out to be a fine product, which made Chu Chen very happy, and also allowed him to clear away some of the haze in his heart.  As a result, his desire to buy also aroused.  But after putting down the painted pottery in his hand, Chu Chen took a cursory glance at the things on the stall.  But I was speechless for a while. Most of these things were fakes, and some were simply fabrications.  ??The other pieces of painted pottery from Majiayao here look smooth and hard, and have a neat and regular appearance. You can tell they are fakes at a glance.  You must know that the Majiayao culture is still in the Neolithic Age, and the production tools are still very crude. They are limited by manual production or slow wheel production. The thickness of the pottery is uneven, and the shapes of the pots are often irregular, with crooked mouths, left and right abdomens.  Protrusion, concave deformation or overall camber phenomenon.  No matter how exquisite it was at that time, this phenomenon would only be less obvious. If you look carefully, you can still see it. How could it be like this?  Chu Chen shook his head secretly, then pretended to look at the fake Majiayao painted pottery, then pointed at one of the fakes and asked the stall owner: "Boss, how much does this Majiayao painted pottery cost?" Stall owner  He smiled honestly, gave Chu Chen a thumbs up, and said: "Boss, you have really good eyesight. I got this from an old lady. Not only is the workmanship very exquisite, but it is also an old thing from thousands of years ago. Do you think  Think about it, how difficult it is to keep thousands of dollars so well" Seeing that the stall owner was still talking, Chu Chen quickly said: "Boss, I also know what you said, please give me a happy word.  "Okay! How much does this cost?" The stall owner said with a smile: "Boss and I have a relationship, I'll give you a cheaper one, how about five thousand yuan?"It only costs one yuan a year, which is very cost-effective.  " When Chu Chen heard this, he sneered in his heart. If the thing is real, five thousand is not expensive, but this thing of yours cannot be more fake. I am not a victim, and I will spend five thousand to buy such a fake. " He  He pretended to frown and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's too expensive, what about this one?  "As he said that, he pointed to a smaller clay pot next to him. "That one, four thousand!  " Next, Chu Chen asked a few more colored pottery. The stall owner became a little impatient, so he pointed to the authentic piece and asked, "What about this one?  " "Hey, brother, do you want to buy it or not?  "The stall owner asked with a frown. Chu Chen said: "I want to buy it, but the prices you offer, boss, are so expensive, I can't afford it either!  " When the stall owner heard what he said, he felt a little dumbfounded. This is not a fixed price. Won't you pay back the price? Come on, you are meeting a newbie, but you can only make money by meeting such a newbie! "Thought  Here, he pretended to be displeased and said: ˇ°This is two thousand!  " Chu Chen pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah!  This kind of crooked melon and cracked jujube costs two thousand!  Can it be cheaper?  " "Then how much can you pay?  " Chu Chen thought for a while and said weakly: "Four hundred, right?  " "Four hundred!  " The stall owner shouted, pretending to be a little angry and said: "Brother, you are too cruel. I can't even get four hundred, so the price is one thousand and two. If you want it, you can take it. If you don't want it, forget it.  !  " The stall owner has been doing business for a long time. He knows that as long as he sticks to this kind of newcomer, he will definitely buy it. Sure enough, he saw Chu Chen's hesitant expression and thought for a while before agreeing. This made  He was immediately happy. The goods he bought for two hundred yuan were resold and he made a thousand dollars. He had enough living expenses in the past two months. Sure enough, the money from the antique business came quickly. But he didn't know it!  At this time, Chu Chen's heart was also full of joy. He bought something worth fifty thousand with one thousand and two. How could he not be filled with joy? After completing the transaction, Chu Chen looked at this, which was almost forty centimeters.  The tall guy is a little worried. Although this thing is not heavy and it is not difficult to hold it, after all, the surface is dirty and it is a bit inconvenient to hold it in the cup. "Boss, is there anything I can put it in?"  " After completing this business, the stall owner was in a good mood. He glanced at the clay pot, then stood up, took out two black plastic bags from the box under his buttocks, handed them to Chu Chen and said:  ˇ°Here, you should be fine if you use two layers of this.  " After Chu Chen thanked him, he asked with a naive smile: "Boss, I just saw that there seemed to be two pottery figurines in your box. Can you show them to me?  " The stall owner was slightly startled when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Brother, your eyes are very easy to use. Okay, I will show it to you!  "As he said that, he took out the two pottery figurines from the box and handed them to Chu Chen. However, Chu Chen did not accept them, but pointed to the ground with a smile, which made the stall owner react immediately.  He came over, put the pottery figurines on his stall, and said with an awkward smile: "Haha, I'm so sorry, I'm used to it!  " Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay!  I only remembered this rule after being scolded by others several times.  " In fact, after the test when buying painted pottery just now, Chu Chen also knew that the level of this stall owner should not be very good. Looking at his performance now, Chu Chen guessed that this person should not have been in this business for too long. Of course.  , This is a good thing for Chu Chen, otherwise how could he have missed it? Chu Chen bent down and took the two pottery figurines into his hands. After careful observation, he immediately confirmed his previous guess.  The two pottery figurines are the very precious blue-glazed pottery figurines in the Tang Sancai. The Tang Sancai was based on the synthesis of green-glazed and yellow-glazed pottery since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and introduced Persian blue glaze technology. Among them, blue glaze was used.  The most precious, which is often referred to as "three-color noble blue". The reason why the blue-glazed three-color glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty is called the best Tang three-colored glazed pottery is very special.  The Tang Dynasty government sent foreign trade envoys to purchase or exchange tea, silk, ancient ceramics, etc. with heavy sums of money from Persia. In the Tang Dynasty, where the hierarchical system was very strict, you could enjoy this kind of glaze as a three-dimensional glaze.  The people who used Ming Dynasty pottery were either famous nobles or high-ranking officials. Those who were able to enjoy large blue three-color glaze pottery were either relatives of the emperor or prime ministers during their lifetimes. It is conceivable that blue glaze was the main color.  How precious is the fired three-color glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty, whether in terms of its historical value, artistic value, or economic value.In terms of rarity, it can be said that they are all top-notch.  In the current reality, whether there are Tang Dynasty three-color glazed pottery in museum collections or private collections of Tang Dynasty three-color glazed pottery around the world, there are indeed very few blue-glazed three-color pottery.  Such large-scale blue-glazed Tang Dynasty three-color glazed pottery is even rarer, like finding a needle in a haystack.
