Chapter 31 Ming Dynasty cloisonné enamel fish algae pattern high foot bowl
Early on Sunday morning, my father took me to a courtyard in the suburbs. This courtyard is made of red brick walls, the big words on it are very eye-catching, the walls are covered with barbed wire, and the red gate has many mottled rust stains because of the long-term wind and sun, which looks very dilapidated.
My dad stepped forward, slapped the door a few times, and shouted, "Lao Li, I'm here, open the door." ”
With the sound of the door, there was a dog barking in the yard, listening to the sound, there were quite a few of them. "It's coming, here, stationmaster. Lao Li also responded.
The door creaked open, but the sound of the door opening was a little unpleasant.
"Stationmaster Niu, it's really early today. Yo, this is a calf. Lao Li looked at us with a smile and said slowly.
"It's Uncle Li, what's the matter, don't you know each other?" my dad said to me.
I casually called, I have an impression of this yard, when I was a child, my father once brought me to this yard, and it was this Uncle Li who was here to watch the yard. It's just that compared to Uncle Li, I was more impressed by a big black dog in the yard, but I was chased all over the yard, and I cried for a long time.
"Come on, come in. Uncle Li greeted.
"Uncle Li, is that big black dog still there?" I asked weakly.
Uncle Li laughed heartily, "Little cow, do you remember?" Now that they're all so adults, they're still afraid of what a dog will do. ”
My dad laughed too, "Come in, that big black dog has done a lot of work in taking care of the home." ”
Walking into the yard, I couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment, the appearance inside has not changed from when I was a child, including a big black dog that seems to be familiar. Facing the shadow of childhood, I mustered up the courage to give him a volley glare, and when I looked at it hard, the big black dog that was still barking desperately just now, his tail instantly drooped down, and he ran backwards with a hum.
"Da Hei, this indisputable thing, just now Stationmaster Niu praised you for your bravery. Uncle Li teased.
I laughed too, full of victory and superiority, but I always felt that something was strange.
"Leave the dog alone. Lao Li, go and open the door of the warehouse. My dad was a little anxious, and he could see what he was expecting.
With the sound of the door opening, my dad rushed in and shouted with a sense of ceremony: "You can finally see the light of day again!"
I quickly followed, but I was shocked by the scene in the warehouse. The warehouse is roughly divided into two areas, one side is neatly stacked shelves, on which there are ceramic bottles and jars of various styles of large and small and some jade carvings, and there are several wooden boxes next to the shelves; The same is introduced into the eyes, and it is dazzling.
I walked over to the wooden boxes, trying to open them to see what was inside.
On the wall behind the wooden box, there are two meters, and if you look closely, they are a thermometer and a hygrometer, 22 degrees, and the humidity is 45%. I couldn't help but sigh, don't look at this yard looks so dilapidated, this warehouse is still relatively professional, although there is no professional constant temperature and humidity equipment, but at least to ensure the basic art storage requirements.
"Stinky boy, what's the hurry, let's take a look at these porcelains first, I collected a lot back then, but I'm not very expert, you take a look first." "My dad saw that as soon as I came up, he was going to open the wooden box and deliberately sell the guanzi.
"Well, good. I replied. His eyes unconsciously looked at the ceramics on the shelf.
It can be seen that these porcelains are old objects, but looking, the general fetal quality is coarse, the workmanship is not fine, the shape is simple, the decoration is not fine, most of the ornaments are what the people like to see, flowers, birds, insects and fish are the majority, basically all are folk kilns, although the value of the single room is not very high, but it is very suitable to act as the façade of the antique shop.
I swept through them one by one, hats and bowls, hand cups, water purification basins, jade pots, spring bottles, bile bottles, all kinds of blue and white or pastel porcelain, and I became more and more excited. It seems that in the dark, I have an inexplicable fate with these antiques.
Suddenly, I was attracted to a high-legged bowl with bright colors and unique shapes. This piece of majolica, with a high skimming mouth and a wooden base, has a white ground on the inside of the bowl decorated with fish algae patterns, and a sky blue ground on the outside of the bowl decorated with a crocus pattern.
At this time, the ability was triggered again, and the "Ming Dynasty cloisonné enamel fish algae pattern tall bowl" appeared in his mind. This is accompanied by a headache of pins and needles. With yesterday's cultivation, I didn't panic as before, but calmed down and used the method of fetal suction to urge my mind to conduct qi. The headache was relieved, and I relaxed my brow.
"Dad, this is a good thing, it is a Ming Dynasty cloisonné enamel fish algae pattern high foot bowl. I said, trying to keep my emotions under control, but still looking excited.
"Isn't this cloisonné?" asked my dad.
I shook my head and sighed that my dad really owned Baoshan without knowing it, of course I couldn't tease my dad for being uneducated like Uncle Fang. Then, I began to popularize knowledge with some helplessness: "This cloisonné enamel is riveted and welded into a pattern with fine copper wire on the metal carcass, filled with various enamel glazes, colored at high temperatures, and finally polished into a vessel." The production technology of this handicraft is perfected in the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, and the finished product is mostly blue as the ground, and the color is crystal clear, so it is also called cloisonne. ”
"I'm not wrong about this, isn't it cloisonné?"
I was very interested in these academic discussions, and I was very competitive, so I continued: "Jingtai is the era name of Zhu Qiyu, the seventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, his elder brother, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, was also captured by the head of the Mongolian Warat Department in the "Civil Engineering Change", and Zhu Qiyu was proclaimed emperor and changed to Jingtai. During his 7 years of reign, internal and external troubles continued, the national strength declined, and the production of all kinds of imperial utensils was in trouble. However, the production of cloisonné enamel ware is known for its high cost and difficult process. It remains a mystery why cloisonné enamel was able to develop independently in the midst of its decline. But it is undeniable that the three words cloisonné have been passed down to this day, even ordinary people who don't know much about it can know these three words. In the end, I still couldn't hold back and teased my dad.
"Heck, calves are literate, and I've seen you smart since you were a child. Lao Li couldn't help but praise me when he saw me talking, patting my father's ass.
My dad interrupted Lao Li unhappily, "Smart fart, this stinky boy said Lao Tzu, you still praise him." ”
Lao Li obviously didn't understand, and I was happy on the sidelines.
