Chapter 143: Manchurian

This plate, at first glance, is nothing special.

It seems that the porcelain of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is painted with characters wearing Manchu costumes, which is quite normal.

Not really.

The characters that appeared on the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, few of them were Manchu costumes, and they were basically Han costumes, which was a kind of backward culture moving closer to advanced culture.

From the late Kangxi period to the Yongzheng period, although there were gradually porcelain with people full of costumes, there were not many such porcelain, but it was mainly available in export porcelain, and domestic porcelain was basically not seen.

The appearance of such ornamentation on export porcelain is to meet the needs of Westerners, because Westerners come to China, especially in the capital, often see Manchu clothing, so they also want to reflect it on porcelain.

Porcelain with Manchu costume figures, Westerners have given a very interesting name, "Manchu Lord".

Because Westerners came to China and found that the officials called each other "adults", they called the Manchu officials Manchus, and then extended them to porcelain with Manchu costumes, with such a borrowed title.

To Westerners, this is the exotic.

"Manchurian" porcelain, there are very few in China, whether it is a museum or a private collection, but in Europe there are relatively more.

The value of this "Manchurian" pastel hunting picture plate is much higher than that of the Qianlong folk kiln pastel plate.

In addition to the small number, it also lies in the special cultural value of it.

A plate can reflect the relationship between the Han and the Manchus, the relationship between China and the West, different aesthetic expressions, and the interest of cultural collision at that time.

It's just that such antiques are often a blind spot for ordinary players.

Wu Duo didn't care much at first, but he suddenly remembered an auction record he had checked before, and it seemed that there was a "Manman" jar, which had been auctioned in the United States for tens of thousands of dollars many years ago.

Wu Duo already wanted to win the big market at this time.

Since you want to take it, for the sake of consideration, you still have to listen to it.

It doesn't matter if you listen to this, I found that I was wrong about the year, this is not a pastel from the Qianlong Dynasty, but made in 1731!

1731 is the ninth year of Yongzheng!

The category of pastel is the latest category of Chinese porcelain, it is more similar to enamel, in fact, it is the development and replacement of enamel, after all, the cost and requirements of enamel are too high.

And it is this latest category that finally broke the situation that the blue and white ware in the Ming and Qing dynasties was superior in terms of quantity, and was able to compete with it.

When Wu Duo visited the antique market before, he would pay special attention to the sayings of some old insects and learn a thing or two from them.

For pastel, the old worm will generally say this, the Kangxi period pastel was created, there is still a residual taste of color, relatively "hard"; to the Qianlong Dynasty, what brocade, yellow ground, gold, open light, pastel porcelain appeared a complicated and magnificent situation.

Therefore, the favorite pastel porcelain of old players has to belong to the Yongzheng Dynasty. The technology is mature, the color material is fine, the shape is beautiful, and the picture is elegant.

After hearing that it was Yongzheng pastel, Wu Duo was secretly ashamed of himself, and he actually regarded it as the Qianlong Dynasty.

In fact, this is not to blame Wu Duo. Because export porcelain is different from official kilns, the difference between Yongzheng and Qianlong is not so obvious. Moreover, there were many large plates in the Qianlong Dynasty and few large plates in the Yongzheng Dynasty.

However, the characteristics of the times are still there, although this plate is large, but the color materials and painting work are more elegant.

"I said, aren't you going to buy these things?" After Wu Duo thought about it, he asked Luo Yuze first.

"What, you want to buy this big market?" Luo Yuze asked rhetorically.

"You brought me, if you want, you come first. Wu Duo said with a smile.

"Don't mind, I'm not going to do that. ”

When Wu Duo heard this, he was not verbose, and asked Brother Monkey directly, "Brother Monkey, how do you count this plate alone?"

Brother Monkey looked at Luo Yuze, and then at Wu Duo, "Brother, you are the palm brought by Mr. Luo, right? This plate is the largest, and the price may be higher." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"It's all so familiar, give you a solid one. Brother Monkey measured a gesture.

"Eight hundred?"

"Don't pretend to be confused. Brother Monkey smiled.

Wu Duo also smiled, "No, I bought it to look fun, maybe I put a big plate of chicken or something." ”

"If you sell it, I don't care what you do, you just fall and listen to the sound, and I can only say 'arrogant' from the bottom of my heart." However, 8,000 is really the lowest price. ”

This is not an antique market, and Wu Duo is not afraid of buying and exploding, "Okay, Brother Monkey has said so, and I won't ink anymore." ”

The payment is cleared.

The guys in Brother Monkey's shop quickly wrapped several layers of foam bags, sealed them with duct tape, and put them into a large plastic bag.

Luo Yuze quipped on the side, "It's a little less interesting than the antique market, and people use a brocade box." ”

"Hey, I've got it here, but it's all that kind of simple brocade box. Besides, it's hard to find a matching plate for such a large plate. Brother Monkey said, "If you really like it, I think it's best to have a shelf, this big plate, one plug and one swing, is very beautiful." ”

"Didn't you hear him say that it was used to hold a large plate of chicken?" Luo Yuze said goodbye, "Yes, Brother Monkey, I finally lived up to your notification to me and left." ”

"Hey?" Brother Monkey said again, "I remember, I still have a big plate here, I came from the Wa Kingdom earlier, do you want to take a look?"

Luo Yuze looked at Brother Monkey, "I said Brother Monkey, let's not make a scene, you came earlier, and you haven't made a move yet, what ······ this?"

Brother Monkey waved his hand seriously, "Haven't you taken a fancy to this big market? No, Brother Xiao Wu has won it the same." ”

Luo Yuze thought for a while, "What kind of market do you talk about first?" ”

"It's about the same size as this, but it's not pastel, it's multicolored, I think maybe it will be able to get to Ming!"

"Pull it down, Ming Dynasty Wucai, can you get it out?"

"I'm not an antique businessman, and there aren't many customers here who know as much as you, and I'll tell you, I'm here that the things that earn foreign exchange are better than the real old ones. ”

Wu Duo said at this time, "Then take a look." ”

Luo Yuze also nodded.

The size of this large plate is indeed about the same as that won by Wu Duo, but the fetal bones are much thicker.

It is indeed colorful, and the picture in the center of the pan is a fish algae pattern.

The color is red and green, the fish is red, the algae is green, the color impact is very strong, and at the same time, it looks very tacky.

Red with green······

As soon as Luo Yuze saw this big market, he frowned.

It's not because it's red. If nothing else, if it is Wucai in the late Ming Dynasty, it is such a style.

Luo Yuze frowned, because there were many places on the edge of this plate that had been glazed, and the glaze was ugly, as if it had been bitten by insects.
