Chapter 88 Small incense burner for warming the bed, Ziyu cricket pot

Ning Shuang nodded, "Okay, then let's trade tomorrow, there will be a dinner after today's exchange meeting, there are a lot of things." Let's leave a contact information first. ”

"Good. Wu Duo nodded in response.

In fact, Wu Duo still has his own little Jiujiu, and through this Xuande official imitation narcissus basin, at least he has created an opportunity to speak to Li Yiyan in the future.

Li Yiyan's status in the academic world is very high, and Wu Duo still has some admiration in his heart.

The two left each other's contact information, and then went back to Tianfeng Garden together.

On the way back, the two walked a few steps, and then the conversation stopped, and they just walked silently. Wu Duo suddenly felt the breath of Ning Shuang, she didn't use powder, she didn't use perfume, but there was still a faint fragrance on her body.

In the afternoon, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious and relaxed, after all, there was a morning foreshadowing.

At the beginning, Ning Yuanqi took out a small thing, which was not only an exchange product, but also a small auction to help the fun.

What Ning Yuanqi took out was a silver quilt incense burner.

In the quilt, the meaning of the quilt, this thing is a small incense burner for warming the bed.

Different from modern warm water bags, the ancient incense burners are generally hollowed out of metal, burning charcoal and spices inside, which is not only warm, but also fragrant. Therefore, it is also called a sleeping mattress incense ball.

At first glance, this hollowed-out silver ball is full of holes, and there are still things burning in it, put it in the quilt, and don't you want to make the bed?

How can the wisdom of the ancients be underestimated?

Its structure is like this, there is a spherical shell, the center of the inside is a hemispherical furnace body, between the spherical shell and the hemispherical furnace body, there are two concentric rings, the hemispherical furnace body is connected to the inner ring by a short axis, can rotate freely, at the same time, the inner ring is supported on the outer ring, and the outer ring is supported on the spherical shell.

The supporting axes of the inner wall, outer ring, inner ring and hemispherical furnace body of the spherical shell are perpendicular to each other in turn.

In this way, due to gravity, no matter how the spherical incense burner rolls, the hemispherical mouth of the incense burner is always facing upward, and it is impossible for the coals and spices in it to fall out.

The gimbal bracket of the gyro-balancer is also based on this principle.

This silver incense burner is a thing in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, imitating the style and hollow decoration of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the year of the appearance of the incense burner is very early, and it can reach the Western Han Dynasty. Because Sima Xiangru wrote a "Beauty Fu", he mentioned the incense burner in the quilt.

In the Tang Dynasty, the incense burner was extremely popular, and silver was often seen. The largest Tang Dynasty "silver ball" found so far has a diameter of 12.8 centimeters.

The one Ning Yuanqi took out was much smaller, with a diameter of only about five centimeters.

This silver quilt incense burner sold for 50,000 yuan, which is slightly lower than the usual price at auction.

Ning Yuanqi mainly used it to cheer up, and to refresh himself at the beginning of the afternoon.

After photographing this incense burner, Ning Yuanqi looked at Zhang Chengjin and Jin Shengzhen, the two most famous and the oldest.

"Elder Zhang, Elder Jin, I'm throwing bricks and jade, next?"

"Lao Zhang, let's come first. Jin Sheng laughed.

"I also brought a gadget, it's not as refreshing as Lao Jin's ancient paintings!" Zhang Chengjin said politely.

"Look, I told you to come first, if you say I'll come first, wouldn't it be a false push?" Jin Shengzhen waved his hand.

"Okay. Zhang Chengjin did not continue to be polite.

What Zhang Chengjin put on the round table was a clay jar.

The height and diameter are around twelve centimeters, with a cover. The shape seems simple, similar to a pen holder with a lid, but after a few glances, you will feel that the lines are particularly beautiful.

The color is eel yellow, the color is ripe and beautiful, and the skin shell is crispy.

Ning Yuanqi leaned closer, got started first, just like looking at porcelain, first turned the bottom, the rectangular frame six-character regular script: Gu Yan Zhao Ziyu made.

"Ziyu Jar!"

Zhang Chengjin smiled slightly and took two steps back. Because of Ning Yuanqi's words, many people came forward together.

"Ziyu pot" can also be called the full name: Zhao Ziyu Cheng mud cricket pot.

Zhao Ziyu, a famous manufacturer of cricket pots during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, can also be said to be the most famous cricket pot craftsman in the Qing Dynasty.

Especially in the north, "Ziyu jar" has almost become synonymous with high-quality cricket pots.

Cricket pots, cricket pots, pots and pots, in fact, are all the same thing, just a habitual fixed name.

Zhao Ziyu makes cricket pots, from the selection of mud to a series of processes, all of which are excellence, time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, not many genuine products have been handed down.

It is said that during the Republic of China, someone investigated that all the collectors and antique dealers in Beijing had genuine jade jars, and there were at most dozens of them.

A genuine jade jar can be sold for more than 100 oceans.

Of course, there is still a big gap between this price and the famous porcelain paintings, but this is just a mud pot, which can be sold for more than 100 oceans, which already shows the essence of Zhao Ziyu's materials and craftsmanship.

Although there are very few genuine jade jars, imitations are overwhelming, especially from the Daoguang period to the Republic of China period. And there is no shortage of imitators who make cricket pots.

Nowadays, it is too difficult to see a real jade jar.

Wu Duo really knows very little about this kind of clay handicraft, and he is not very interested in the shape of cricket pots. However, since there was an opportunity to directly contact the famous Ziyu jar, it was not missed, so I stepped forward with everyone and took a closer look.

If you appreciate it carefully, you can't avoid listening to it.

Results······

It turned out that the year was wrong!

Ziyu jar should be something of the Kangxi Dynasty, with a history of about three hundred years, how can I hear that it is only more than eighty years?

That's what happened in the thirties of the last century!

Zhang Lao, this is an eye-catcher?

However, Wu Duozi didn't say much, and quietly returned to his seat after reading it.

After all, the Chengni cricket pot is a niche collection, although the scene is all antique masters, but there are not many people who really know how to do it.

Here, I have to mention the director Liu who opened a private museum of ancient art ingenuity, he watched it most carefully and seriously. Moreover, no one else used a flashlight, so he used a flashlight to shine for a long time.

In addition to looking, he also closed his eyes and touched it for a while, his expression was intoxicated.

It's just that in this intoxication, there is also a little obscenity, as if it is not a thing to touch······

In the end, Director Liu and Zhang Lao were still at the round table.

"Zhang Lao, identify the jade jar, the process is relatively easy to study and understand, the focus is still on the feeling of the mud!" The so-called 'imitation is good, mud is hard to find'!" After Curator Liu put down the jade jar, he said, "After the mud of the real jade jar is burned, it is like a beautiful ······ Ahem, baby skin is average, there is no astringent feeling. ”

"Curator Liu seems to have studied quite deeply! In your opinion, there is no doubt that it is genuine?"
