The Immortal Road of Rebirth

Chapter 59 Black as paint and thin as paper (2)
Everyone was immersed in this astonishing beauty and could not return to their senses for a long time.After a long time, curator Wang broke the silence and expressed his suspicion just now:
"According to my judgment, this is not an ordinary black pottery. To be precise, it should be Longshan black pottery, and it is the best of Longshan black pottery."

Grandpa Yu interjected:

"Xiao Wang, is the Longshan black pottery you're talking about the 'high-handle hollow eggshell pottery cup' exhibited in your museum?"

Speaking of the fine works in his museum, curator Wang is very proud.The introduction is also familiar:
"Yes, Chief. 'Eggshell Pottery Cup with High Handle Hollow' is an outstanding representative of Longshan black pottery.

In 1936, Mr. Liang Siyong led an archaeological team to discover a rare pottery more than 4500 years ago at the cultural sites of the two cities of Rizhao—high-handled hollow eggshell pottery cups.

The pottery cup is unglazed and black and shiny, with a thin body and a hard texture.

Its wall thickness is no more than 1 mm, the thinnest part is only 0 mm, and the weight is only 2 grams.

The essence of its production technology can be called a must in the world, and it is a typical representative of Longshan culture, also known as 'standard black pottery'. "

After answering Grandpa Yu's question, curator Yu added:
"Longshan black pottery can be divided into three types: fine mud, clay and sand.

The production level of fine mud and thin-walled black pottery is the highest. The thickness of the tire wall is only about 0-5 mm, and the surface is black and shiny, so it is called eggshell black pottery.

Ornamentation is generally relatively simple, with only polished and translucent luster as the main decorative content, organically combined with black, which is where the black pottery shows a beautiful and charming style. "

Xiaoxiao, who roughly understood, remembered the abnormal weight of the jar, and naturally classified it on the most precious eggshell black pottery.This speculation made her a little impatient, and she was eager to ask for confirmation:

"Then Uncle Wang, what kind is mine?"

People's resistance to beautiful things has always been very low. Seeing the expectation in Xiaoxiao Yingying's big eyes, curator Wang immediately surrendered:
"Yes, this clay pot of yours is eggshell black pottery.

Eggshell black pottery has very obvious characteristics: 'black as lacquer, thin as paper'.

We have all seen the luster of this black pottery. Black as lacquer is the best adjective.

At the same time, its shell is also very thin and light in weight, only about one or two.

Of course, it is not as exquisite as the 'high-handled hollow eggshell pottery cup' mentioned by the chief, but it is undoubtedly extremely rare.

There is not a small amount of black pottery in the world, but fine products with thin tires are rare.Maybe this jar of yours is an orphan. In that case, its price is even more inestimable.

So you must collect it well. "

At the end, Curator Wang's tone was a little regretful.

Curator Wang is a good person everywhere, with excellent professional quality, loves cultural relics, has a noble character, and is willing to support the younger generation.

The only annoying thing is his insistence that the greatest value of cultural relics should be displayed for all to appreciate, not locked in a personal safe.

His point of view and his insistence made him often cling on to the museum when he saw someone with a treasure in his hand.However, the lack of funds in the museum often caused the transferor to suffer, and the account was charged to him, causing him to owe countless favors.

The reason why curator Wang didn’t do anything to Xiaoxiao today is because there is already a more exquisite piece of eggshell pottery in the museum, and getting another one is just icing on the cake, not a timely gift;

In addition, the background of the Ye family is there, and curator Wang is not an uncommon person, and they don't have much friendship with each other, so it's not easy to force them to take advantage;
Xiaoxiao is just a little girl again.If you lose something you love and make a fuss and cry, then you will be embarrassing.

For all these reasons, Xiaoxiao escaped by chance and was not entangled by curator Wang, thus keeping her second collection.
