"This is a piece of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, and as you can see, it's in very good condition, so it's definitely not ordinary porcelain.

Let's look at the color first, this bright yellow was considered a royal color in ancient times. Let's talk about clothes! Since the Tang Dynasty, people have not been able to use this bright yellow ......."

Yellow represents the emperor's respect for the ceremony and shows his personal majesty. And not only that, but even on the utensils used by the emperor in the imperial palace, most of the hues were yellow, of course, not yellow with paint, but made of gilt, or pots and pans made of pure gold. And most of the buildings are yellow, for example, most of the roof tiles we see in the Forbidden City are yellow glazed tiles.

The whole yellow hue makes the whole palace look very atmospheric. It shows the supremacy of the royal family, but yellow is not only available to the royal family. In addition to royalty, it can also be used in religion.

Before Hu Yang finished speaking, Xu Hong interrupted and asked, "So, this is the treasure of the Qing Dynasty palace?"

The audience in the live broadcast room was discussing, and in ancient times, it was too domineering, and yellow was not allowed to be used.

But in fact, it's not quite, and the folk can't use all yellow. Like some light yellow, tartrazine, etc., it's still okay.

Hu Yang nodded: "To be precise, it should be the porcelain of the harem." If you look at the ornamentation, this is the phoenix. In ancient times, dragons and phoenixes could not be used casually. Moreover, it is still the Queen's thing. ”

Everyone wondered, why was Brother Hu so sure that it was the queen's thing?

In ancient times, the most honorable person, except for the emperor, was the queen, after all, the master of the harem, the mother of the world! Therefore, if this is the queen's thing, it must be very precious.

"Because there is a phoenix?" someone asked.

Hu Yang shook his head: "It is the nature of this porcelain, which can only be used by the queen, like the imperial concubine, the concubine and others, which is the etiquette." ”

He told everyone that in ancient times, the porcelain used in the harem was very particular and hierarchical. Or rather, not just porcelain, but everything else as well.

The palace is divided into different varieties and quantities of gold, silver, and cloth supplied by the queen mother, down to the nobles, Chang Zai, and promises according to their ranks, as well as the grains, meat, vegetables, and non-staple foods supplied every month and every day, including silk, mink, rice and flour, charcoal wax, etc.

As for porcelain, there are various types of bowls, cups, plates, plates, cups, etc., all of which have strict grades in color, ornamentation, and quantity.

"Like this bowl, it belongs to yellow-glazed porcelain, and most of the low-temperature yellow barley before the Ming Dynasty was yellow-brown or dark yellow, not really yellow. The yellow glazed porcelain handed down from generation to generation is the earliest in Xuande products, most of the heirlooms are plates, the inside and outside of the utensils are applied with yellow straw, the glaze is delicate, the glaze is fat, and there is no pattern throughout the body.

In the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, the yellow rice reached the highest level in history, the tone of the utensils was uniform, the glaze was smooth and traceless, the color was moist and delicate, and the gloss was good, just like chicken fat, it was the real yellow.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the yellow glazed porcelain was once stopped burning, until the Qing Shunzhi period only resumed firing, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong three dynasties of the Huang Qi porcelain is mainly in the Ming Dynasty on the basis of the Huang Qi, to imitate Xuande and Hongzhi Huang glazed porcelain, the dark carving, scratching, printing, carving and other decorative techniques and glaze painting are jointly applied to the Huang Qi porcelain, which not only enriches the varieties of Huang Qi porcelain, but also embodies the innovative color, and pushes the yellow glazed porcelain to another height.

And this kind of porcelain is quite popular in the harem. But there are strict restrictions, like this one, which is yellow inside and out, and only the queen can use it.

The imperial concubine in the back can only use white on the inside and yellow on the outside. The concubine is yellow ground green dragon porcelain, used by concubines, and the grade is lowered a little more, such as blue ground yellow dragon porcelain. ”

After listening to Brother Hu, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder Brother Hu was so sure that this was the queen's item.

When Sister Yuan heard that it was still used by the queen, she was even happier.

Ah Hao couldn't help but ask, "How much is that worth?"

Shui Ruyue was shocked, although she worked on the ship, and often heard that an antique was hundreds of thousands, millions, etc., but it really happened under her nose, she was still shocked.

She also pricked up her ears, surprised that this man knew so much.

"I've told you before that when it comes to porcelain, it's usually the bottle that is the most valuable, then the plate, then the bowl, and finally the cup.

If this is a bottle, its value is about 10 million, if it is a large plate, it is close to 10 million, and the bowl, it is much worse, between two million and three or four million, and it is not easy to say the specifics. Hu Yang analyzed.

Xu Hong sighed: "Alas, why didn't I take it? ”

Sister Yuan couldn't help but be happy, in fact, she didn't care much about how much it was worth, millions in her eyes, just like that, there was no shortage of money.

However, this is an unintentional earning, a windfall, or a surprise.

What she values more is that this is used by the ancient queen, which is very classy.

The girl Shui Ruyue was already dumbfounded, she bought it for 20,000 yuan, worth more than 2 million, and more than a hundred times the profit, it was crazy.

"If it's from the Ming Dynasty, isn't it more precious?" Andy couldn't help but ask.

Hu Yang thought for a while: "I can't say that, if it is exquisite, the Qing Dynasty will be better, after all, porcelain has been well developed in the Qing Dynasty, and many porcelains are better than blue, which must be admitted."

However, when it comes to rarity, the Ming Dynasty's are even rarer. ”

For example, Xuande Dynasty yellow glazed porcelain, at this time, yellow glazed porcelain is relatively mature firing, hand-me-down products are very few, in recent years, with the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory Longzhu Pavilion unearthed a large number of Xuande porcelain pieces, some Xuande yellow glazed porcelain pieces into the market, by the collector snatched up, now it is difficult to find a piece.

In the nineties, the Xuande Dynasty yellow glazed porcelain plate was auctioned for two or three million yuan, and now, it is almost 10 million yuan.

The most famous variety of the Hongzhi period was yellow glaze, in other words, the yellow glazed porcelain of Hongzhi was one of the most famous varieties of the Ming Dynasty. Its yellow color is delicate like chicken fat, and it is called "chanterelle yellow".

Compared with the yellow glaze of the Chenghua period, the yellow glazed porcelain of this period has a dark color, bright glaze, like a pool of clear water, and it is deep and thick compared with the white light yellow glaze of the Chenghua period.

In short, the yellow glazed porcelain of the Ming Dynasty generally appeared as a heavy weapon, even if someone has a collection, it will not be easily put out for auction, almost all of them are hidden.

In contrast, there were more yellow-glazed porcelains in the Qing Dynasty.

If you want to say that there are two dynasties, which one is more valuable, it is not easy to say. After all, at present, the highest record of yellow glazed porcelain in the auction market is a product of the Qing Dynasty, with a sky-high price of nearly 90 million, which makes many porcelains out of reach.

"By the way, the one that Brother Yu got just now is also a treasure. Hu Yang finally revealed.
