Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup is a drinking utensil, the imperial wine cup of Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty, due to the high requirements of the emperor's house when burning, the yield is not high. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The upper quality of the info kiln was enshrined in the imperial court, and the slightest flaw was destroyed immediately, so the number of people who spread to the people was very small.

Among the porcelain collectors of the Qing Dynasty, there was already a saying: "It is better to be a kiln than to be rich." ”

In addition, in the "Wanli Ye Chapter", there is "a kiln wine glass, each pair of silver and 100 gold." "The popularity of Chenghua official kiln porcelain at that time can be seen.

Moreover, the tire of Chenghua Doucai is pure and delicate, the glaze is rich and quiet, and most of them are small and delicate objects.

The cup is a relatively large part of porcelain, and the price is generally not high, but the so-called "Chenghua has no big ware", so even if it is so small, it is still sought after by the world. Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli three dynasties, Qing Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and other dynasties all have imitations of Chenghua chicken bowl cups.

Many of them are still imitations of official kilns, and the skills are extremely high!

And it is "Doucai": Doucai is a famous product in the Ming and Qing dynasties, although it was not the first in the Chenghua period, but it had brilliant achievements at that time.

What is Doucai?

"Doucai" is named after the process method of making porcelain, which is the combination of overglaze color and underglaze blue and white to form an artistic effect of overglaze and underglaze painting competing with each other.

Generally, the outline of all or part of the pattern is outlined with underglaze blue and white, and then filled in with low-temperature colors such as red, yellow, green, purple glaze, etc., which is called filling.

The final firing is made, that is, the bucket color.

……

"You like it?" asked Nicole.

"Nope. It's just that there are only 15 of the world's major museums combined, and there are up to 4 in private hands, including this one. ”

Chenghua chicken bowl cup, more than 20 years later, 300 million Hong Kong dollars!

Zhang Nan actually doesn't like such a small wine bowl, more than 20 years later, 300 million to buy a small wine bowl, it's too incredible!

But when you think about the paintings of Picasso and Van Gogh, it's not so strange.

But Zhang Nan is not in it for money: the main thing is that many people think that as long as whoever owns it, he will have the top status in the collecting world!

If you can easily obtain it according to your financial resources, why not become the owner of it?

However, there are some things that Zhang Nan didn't say, and even if he did, Nicole and the others couldn't understand: this kind of chicken bowl cup is not only a good thing with a story and elevating the status of the collection industry, but also the focus of spitting at each other in the collection industry!

Some people say that cups, plates and dishes are practical utensils, even in the palace, it is also the porcelain with the largest demand and survival, and the amount of Chenghua chicken bowl cups in the world should not be small.

And it is said that a potter in Jingdezhen said: Such a small chicken bowl cup, a kiln can burn 12,000 pieces, how can it be so few?

However, some people say that only 20 were burned at a time, and the best 5 were selected for offering, and the other 15 were all smashed!

Where did you get 12,000 pieces from a kiln?!

So in the collecting world, sometimes you have it, I have it, everyone has it, but it is recognized that there are only those 19, and this saliva can be less?

But even so, several museums that collect some of these 19 Chenghua chicken cups still believe that the chicken cups in their hands may be imitated by the late Ming Dynasty or Kangxi.

Coupled with those imitations of the Qing Dynasty, this is an interesting novel, or the kind of spring and white snow with swords.

It's already so lively, and after 20 years, it's not bad for me, but when the time comes, I'll stand on the top of the mountain to watch the scenery and resolutely not participate.

After talking to Nicole here, he said to Chen's father and son: "Master Chen, why don't you continue to take a look, if there is anything that catches your eye, I will help you take a picture tomorrow." ”

He was going back to his room.

Help them take pictures, of course, this is not for nothing, it's just that Zhang Nan has an invitation.

Moreover, in this auction, some very good calligraphy and painting are actually only about 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Master Chen is actually good at auctioning them home as decorations - the old Chinese medicine doctor also has a preference for Chinese calligraphy and painting.

It's also a good investment.

Sure enough, Lao Chen took his son to take a look in the exhibition hall.

I went back to the room, washed up, seemed to be a little sleepless, and went to the living room in my pajamas.

Coincidentally, Nicole is also there.

The floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to the balcony were open, and she was wearing a long silk pajama as she stood on the balcony to watch the beautiful Victoria Harbour at night.

The breeze blows up the golden hair, and when you look at it from the side and back, the beauty, the night, and the night scene are integrated and harmonious.

Out of the balcony, stand next to Nicole.

"Allen, in another 10 years, this place will return to China?"

"Oh, you care about that too?"

"Didn't it say it in the newspaper? ”

Zhang Nan smiled awkwardly: There are many newspapers prepared for guests in the hotel, both in Chinese and English, but Zhang Nan can't even talk about reading them casually.

Nicole is a financial advisor who reads a lot of newspapers every day and is good at picking up some useful information from them.

"Nicole, I have a question that I think is strange, you want to come to Xiangjiang, but you don't have the slightest idea of going out after you get here?"

There was a faint, nice smell in the air, which must have emanated from Nicole.

They all felt a little nervous - she really shouldn't have dangled in front of her in her pajamas: the Chen father and son lived in the attaché room, and at night, they wouldn't have come to the living room if they hadn't opened the electronic door on their side.

In other words, Nicole doesn't have to worry about "going away" here, except for Zhang Nan's sick number.

"Because my parents met in Xiangjiang, it's as simple as that. ”

It turns out that there is such a story here.

But I was thinking that I could listen to a romantic love story next, but Nicole didn't follow it again.

After glancing at Nicole's fiery figure twice, he shook his head and walked into the living room, returning to his luxurious room.

Just when Zhang Nan returned to the room, Jenny also came to the living room, saw Nicole's appearance and the boss's back, and said with a smile: "The figure is really good, aren't you afraid that the boss will turn into a werewolf and eat you?!"

"Hehe, he has a thief's heart but not a thief's guts. Saying that, he sat down on the sofa, "Besides, it's good to let the boss eat once, don't say you don't have this idea?"

"Forget it, the boss is yours, it's not my turn. ”

Jenny deliberately said something resentful - what girl wouldn't want such a good young man?

"But I'm worried, I can eat for a while, but I can't eat for a lifetime!"

Nicole also resented.

At the auction site the next afternoon, Zhang Nan didn't go down, only Jenny and Lao Chen.

The auction is actually a process of fighting wits and courage, and Zhang Nan doesn't want to go to a group of people: in fact, he shouldn't have gone to the preview with five people yesterday.

The process is not alarming, this will be some Xiangjiang people are still rushing to immigrate, and the number of rich people who have the effort and spare money to participate in the auction is average. And the starting price of 8 million Hong Kong dollars also scared away most of the guests, and as a result, Jenny only used two rounds of bidding to win the Chenghua chicken bowl cup for 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Lao Chen also gained something and bought two paintings in one go.
