Chapter 227: The Old Huai of the Small Courtyard
Wu Duo looked at it, but he also saw some clues.
The first is the glaze.
The glaze of the official kiln porcelain from Jiajing to Wanli in the Ming Dynasty is not like the orange peel pattern in the early Yongle Xuande period, and it is also different from the "oily" feeling in the middle Chenghua Hongzhi period, but a feeling of white, thick and moist.
However, the glaze of this grape jar is a little whiter, and it is only because of the large area of blue and white decoration that it will not look so white.
Then there is pedicuring.
In the official kiln porcelain of the Wanli period, the downward trend is more obviously reflected in the bottom foot, and the bottom foot treatment, that is, the foot trimming, is often not so fine, and there will be a more natural roughness.
But the official kiln of the Qianlong Dynasty was extremely fine.
The cultivation of this piece seems to be a little too fine compared to the Wanli official kiln.
Wu Duo decided to tell the truth.
He believes that such a problem can be seen by porcelain masters like Zhang Chengjin and Hu Yunde.
And He Shuangyou said that he was going to make a move.
Moreover, although it is not the Wanli official kiln, but the Qianlong official kiln imitates the Wanli official kiln, but the value is not low, He Shuangyou still misses.
"How is it?" He Shuangyou saw that Wu Duofu was looking more closely, and as soon as Wu Duofu put him down, he asked eagerly.
"Teacher He, this is indeed an official kiln, but it is not the Wanli official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, but the Qianlong official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"Huh?" He Shuangyou frowned slightly, but he wasn't too disappointed.
Wu Duo then explained the reason, and added a sentence after speaking, "This is my personal opinion, I can find someone to take a look." ”
He Shuangyou groaned, "When I received it at the time, the old lady mentioned it, saying that her wife said it was something from the Qing Dynasty before her death, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
"However, the value is not low, after all, it is an official imitation of Qianlong. ”
"That's right. He Shuangyou nodded, "Xiao Wu, thank you." If it is sent to the big auction, the appraiser of the auction house will also give the appraisal result, so that I can have a number in advance. ”
Wu Duo then offered to say goodbye, but He Shuangyou asked him to wait, and then made a phone call.
He Shuangyou helped Wu Duo contact the old lady's courtyard to see the cylinder, and asked Wu Duo a word or two while talking on the phone, and finally decided to go to see it tomorrow morning.
He Shuangyou sent the old lady's address and phone number to Wu Duo again, and then sent Wu Duo out of the door.
When Wu Duo was having dinner with Wu Dazhi, he said that he would see the cylinder tomorrow morning, but Wu Dazhi proposed that he would not leave tomorrow and go with him to have a look.
"Grandpa, you can't hear about a single old lady, right?" Wu Duo grinned.
"Don't talk about calves, I'm just interested in the kiln, and I really can't think of what it is. I had planned to take a break tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. ”
This Wu Duo is convinced, he was joking just now, after all, there is Jiang Yihao, an old friend.
"What's that, Jiang ······ Have you returned to Hong Kong Island?"
Wu Duo didn't know what to call for a while, knowing the relationship between the old rich man and her, it was not appropriate to call her by her name, but it was extremely awkward to call her Grandma Jiang.
"Gone today. Wu Dazhi was very bland, and said, "Wait for you to work in Daya Zhai for a while, if you want to develop on Hong Kong Island, I can help you contact you." ”
"Pull it down, do you want me to get married sooner?" Wu Duo immediately diverted the topic, "Grandpa, let me tell you about the sixteenth grandson of the earth spider." ”
Wu Duo spoke in detail, including speculation about the origin and direction of Gao Fang.
Wu Dazhi was very calm, and said with a smile, "It's interesting, one after the other." However, stinky boy, you underestimate the domestic antique shop too much, except for those who are famous, there are more hidden masters, and they are not so easy to succeed. ”
"It's not that I underestimate it, it's that their high imitation is really powerful, think about it, a master like Zhang Cheng Jinzhang can be eye-catching. ”
"I haven't seen the real thing, who knows what the imitation looks like? The domestic porcelain is a high imitation, that is, the ghost hand of the porcelain capital, Lao Fei. ”
"Well, you know this person, and they are talking about Fei Ye, this is this person, right?"
"Yes. That friend of yours, Zhu Liang······"
"Grandpa, it's Ge Liang, not Zhu Liang. ”
"Oh, Ge Liang. Ge Liang's master, Qi Liudou, is also a native of the porcelain capital, and he is Lao Fei's half-brother! ”
"Huh, why are they all strung together?"
"What do you mean by stringing? That's what it's all about. ”
"This surname is indeed very rare. ”
"Rare? That's because you're ignorant. Wu Dazhi touched a cigarette and lit it, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Fei Bao of the Jin Kingdom was the first slave to be liberated, as well as Fei Yu of the Han Dynasty, Fei Qing of the Tang Dynasty, and Fei Jun of the Ming Dynasty, all of whom had the surname Fei. ”
"I'll go, how many books do you have to read and how much time do you have to spend here?"
"Time is like water in a sponge, as long as you are willing to squeeze, there will always be it, it depends on whether you pay attention to it or not. Wu Dazhi spit out a puff of smoke rings, "Didn't I say that if you want to make a name for yourself in the antique shop, you have to go through the twenty-four histories at least once, right?"
"Wood has. ”
"It's quite reasonable. Then on the bookshelf in your study, there is a brand new set of twenty-four histories, which is for the fertilizer puppy?"
Wu Duo stopped talking, it was futile to resist, just let the old rich man say enough.
······
The next morning, Wu Duo and Wu Dazhi went to the old lady's courtyard together.
This small courtyard is located in an old street and alley, which has many old buildings of the Republic of China, and is located on the edge of the old commercial port area.
The gatehouse of the small courtyard is not high, it is not the kind of quadrangle, but only the main house and the wing room on the west side, the south side is the courtyard gate, and the east side is the courtyard wall.
When Wu Duo rang the doorbell at the gate of the campus, Wu Dazhi looked at it and frowned slightly.
The old lady quickly opened the door. The old lady was dressed plainly and cleanly, and she was in her seventies, and her hair was still almost jet black. This look is not dyed, because it is mixed with the gray hair of Qi Gen, and if you want to dye it, you will dye it all.
Standing at the door, they first introduced each other, the old lady's surname was Dai, and Wu Duo called her Grandma Dai; in terms of speaking, she was two years older than Wu Dazhi, so Wu Dazhi called her the old sister.
Entering the door, bypassing the shadow wall, the house is blue bricks and gray tiles, antique. There is an old well in front of the wing house on the west side, there is a thick old locust tree on the side of the courtyard wall on the east side, there is a small flower shed on the side of the old locust tree, and the big vat is in the flower shed, and there are a few green bricks under it.
Wu Duo and Wu Dazhi walked to the front of the vat, Wu Duo said hello to the old lady, and squatted down to take a look first.
Wu Dazhi opened his mouth and asked, "Old sister, is this locust tree old?"
"No, it's been fifty years, this house was left by my wife's family, and when we got married, we planted this locust tree. ”
Wu Dazhi sighed slightly, "Didn't anyone tell you that you shouldn't plant locust trees in the yard of your home? And you don't have an east wing in this yard, why don't you make up for it and build a triple courtyard?"
