Chapter 842: Looking Away Upside Down

The next morning, Thomas came, along with Paul.

"Boss, I think we'll have to send someone to East Germany in advance, which is now open to the Western world, and it's a good cover to go as a tourist. ”

The conversation took place on a chair on the manor pier, and the wind and sun were just right.

Zhang Nan's fishing rod just dropped a snapper and threw the fish into the ice bucket next to him, and then he said, "Paul leads the team?"

The latter nodded, such a thing requires reliable people, and Paul also knows German, just right.

Thomas said: "Now that the trend of East Germans fleeing has stopped, many former Western tourists are trying to find a way to go to East Germany. ”

Now Zhang Nan was a little puzzled, "What are they anxious about? Westerners could have gone to East Germany before." ”

When Paul heard this, he said very tactfully: "Boss, many places were closed before, and some people are very curious, so they ......"

Thomas continued: "Previously, the Klingenthal region was not open to foreigners, but now the original regulations are a waste of paper. ”

Zhang Nan took the pole and said to Paul: "Just go and see the terrain, safety first."

The GDR was about to be completely finished, but their secret police were the densest in the world, and the emaciated camels were bigger than the horses, so they were more leisurely.

Austria and Bavaria have turned us upside down, and there is little hope of finding the remaining point, and this last point of Hitler's treasure is left.

But don't worry, we don't know what's going on over there, your job is to take a look. When the two Germany merge, there is time to go over there. ”

East Germany, the outpost of the Iron Curtain, was blind to most of the GDR by Westerners.

This opening, whether it was pure tourists or all kinds of people with ulterior motives, all rushed to East Germany.

This situation will be like this in the whole of Eastern Europe in the past two years, and when the Soviet Union is finished, the number of people who go to the territory of the original Soviet Union to "travel and pan for gold" can no longer be described as a blowout, it is simply a volcanic eruption!

Thinking of the eruption, Zhang Nan reminded Thomas, "How are we doing in the camp under that volcano?"

"The volcano above me doesn't seem to be very stable, and volcanologists from the Philippines and the United States have warned that the training camp has been temporarily closed, leaving a few people behind.

At present, it is difficult to determine whether or when it will erupt. ”

Zhang Nan pursed his lips and said, "Look at those volcano experts, if you give you any evacuation time, then retreat." ”

Thomas nodded, "It's okay to break out, it's a hundred." ”

"Before leaving, we planted some mines in the camp so that some monkeys who wanted money and didn't want to die would steal things. ”

"It's already buried. ”

Zhang Nan was stunned, "So fast?"

Thomas shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is strictly forbidden for security companies to use and train the use of mines of any nature in the United States, and we can only train this abroad."

The mines are not easy to deal with, a batch of them from Africa. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan suddenly thought of something: There are many firearms and arms exhibitions in the United States, but there are absolutely no landmines for sale!

Not even at any international defense exhibition!

The general nature of landmines is not high in science and technology at all, but there are really few countries that can produce and export, and there are too many international rules and regulations.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nan said: "Then you have to get more in the future, this thing is sometimes more effective than cannons." ”

"From the Soviet Union, the number of mines in their stockpile is estimated to be the first in the world, and they have all models, so I don't know if they can do it in the future. ”

Regarding Thomas's concerns, Zhang Nan disagreed.

"When the ruble becomes waste paper, find the right person, there is nothing that cannot be bought. ”

This will have begun to depreciate the ruble, but it is not yet time for the waste paper to burn: probably except for Zhang Nan himself, even the people who started the financial war would not think about how much the once strong ruble would depreciate.

......

Sent Thomas away, and the fish was no longer fished, because the gate post notified that a box of antiques sent by the United Television Network arrived: they were all collected by Zhang Nan when he was circling in the South China Sea, Australia and South America.

Because the boss is not in the United States, the experts made the decision to buy these items, and the price is not particularly high, so I don't know if the boss can see it or not.

If the boss doesn't like it, the TV network will dispose of the items, and the easiest way is to shoot them.

Zhang Nan had received a call from Henry before, and among the people who delivered the goods was the management of the TV network in New York.

But even so, the items were carefully inspected before they were handed over to Zhang Nan.

There was no furniture on this trip, just a few pieces of porcelain.

A Ru kiln washbasin, in the shape of a four-petal flower, with wide round lips turned outward, straight walls slightly intracted, and flat feet lined with flat feet.

The appearance is stable, looking dignified and stocky, full of azure glaze, the glaze layer is thick, the glaze is even, and the enamel is moist.

Zhang Nan knows nothing about the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, but it can also be seen that this thing will not be an object of the Song Dynasty.

"Nine times out of ten, it's a copy. ”

Hearing this, Guan Xingquan, who was also in the manor, came over to watch the excitement.

Turn the basin with a diameter of seventeen or eighteen centimeters upside down, and there is no word on the bottom: Guan Boss also reads the information, and this Ru kiln porcelain seems to be written at the bottom in later generations.

There is also the perfect old man, who also likes to engrave words at the bottom of the five major porcelains: A, B, C......

As for imitations, some will also fall to the bottom, and Qianlong also likes to do that.

The list sent read: $500, imitation Ru kiln ware from the Qing Dynasty in China.

The hired experts are still a bit level, probably because of the beautiful appearance of this artifact, so they kept it.

"There are a lot of imitations of this kind, and there are seven or eight images of the official. ”

When Guan Xingquan heard "It's okay", he put the basin on the table and smelled: "That Qianlong again?"

Qianlong, a big imitation family, is registered in the heart of Boss Guan.

"I don't look like it, it may be his father Yongzheng's, Qianlong's style is a bit floating, this wash looks stocky, and the style is also simple, unlike Qianlong, and the imitation style of Yongzheng is a bit like ......"

Zhang Nan only knows a little about it, can this tone still come to a "nine times out of ten"?

The reason is simple, there is more time to run the museum, and the exhibits there are the best teachers.

“...... There aren't many of these things, but it's not much of a price, probably the genuine product is too scarce, the high imitation version is not popular, and the copycat version is more, and the market is a bit chaotic. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Nan suddenly popped up in his mind about the various versions of "Little Dragon Girl", which is really appropriate to use on this Ruyao porcelain: there should be too much imitation, and I will play with myself!

The genuine version is blown higher and higher, and no matter what level of knock-off goods you are, it is not much on the table.

The basin was set aside for a moment, and then a wooden box was opened, and a thick sponge was placed inside.

The list reads: Qing imitation Ming Xuande blue and white bowl, $2,000.

As soon as it was opened, it was a large blue and white bowl with a diameter of 23 cm along the mouth!

Look at it upside down: the Xuande year system of the Ming Dynasty.

Only then did Zhang Nan begin to carefully examine the big bowl in his hand, "This is a big guy with a mackerel algae pattern and a ten-sided water chestnut, a wonderful ten-petal flower, like a lotus leaf that has not bloomed."

Interesting, imitated by the Qing Dynasty?"

I took a magnifying glass from the table and looked at it carefully: the glaze was thick and moisturizing, the luster was soft and not dazzling, and the white was tinged with a little blue.

Zhang Nan frowned, "This is a bright green glaze." ”

I thought to myself, and then I carefully felt the touch of the glaze with my hands, and then ......

"Brother Guan, this time our experts have probably lost their eyes, this thing may not be imitated in the Qing Dynasty, and Xuande is not necessarily genuine. ”

Guan Xingquan didn't speak, so he leaned over and looked at it twice.

The glaze is not very smooth, like orange peel, which is commonly known as "orange peel glaze".

Zhang Nan held a 30x magnifying glass in his hand, and he could see that the glaze was full of large and small bubbles, and some of them were even small bubbles rubbing large bubbles.

"It should be the year of Xuande, I remember that no matter what kind of porcelain in the Xuande Dynasty, it seems that almost all of them are glazed with this kind of glaze.

There is also this green material, which is imported Su Ma Liqing mixed with Chinese domestic cobalt material......"

Su Ma Liqing was a kind of pure imported green material for the Ming Empire at that time, with a particularly high iron content and low manganese content.

Su Ma Li blue hair color is deep and intense, in the case of a good furnace atmosphere, it can burn a jewel-like color, and the high iron content is easy to make the hair color appear dark blue, and the pigment will form black-brown crystal spots where the pigment is thick.

This will Zhang Nan take a big bowl to "wipe the light" and see: this is because under a certain light, Su Ma Liqing will have a little tin light color, which is a triangular crystal.

Touch the glaze with your hand, slightly uneven.

As for the domestic cobalt materials used in the official kiln in Jingdezhen during the Xuande period, one is blue and gray after firing, and there is no black-brown rust crystal spots.

It is also a kind of domestic cobalt material with light color, halo phenomenon, and the color tends to be elegant, not as "tough" as Su Ma Liqing.

“...... This bowl should be used when the imported and domestic pigments are mixed, and the color is bright and bright, and it is a little faint.

Can't be wrong, Xuande's, those experts can only be regarded as two knives for this. ”

Guan Xingquan listened, "This can be wrong, hehe......"

"It's a matter of habit, people are not all-rounders, and there are a lot of antiques that I don't understand, not to mention that they are half a world away.

Generally, the imitation of the Qing Dynasty is regarded as Xuande, and Weng Yeming's kid has suffered such a loss, and he regards the Kangxi official imitation as the Xuande Dynasty.

This is upside down, first time I saw it. ”

As he spoke, he put the big bowl on the table and looked at it a few more times, feeling that the thing was getting more and more flavorful.

"Such a big bowl, the same kind of Xuande Nian Guan Kiln fish algae pattern bowl, it seems to have a collection in the Crooked Palace Museum, but that bowl should be this big.

With such a large size, there may be one hidden by the little devil, but it shouldn't have been seen in the market for decades......"

The more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes, not because of "Xuande", but because it is particularly creative, that. Rare shape: The fish algae pattern is a very common decoration on traditional porcelain, but this is a highly skilled flower-mouth bowl.

This will put it on the table, because the light and vision are poor, there is an illusion, like the surface of the bowl has water flowing undulating, as if the water is shining, and the fish on the bowl are lifelike, as if they are swimming!

Fish dwell in the water, it is inconvenient to observe and observe, so it is more difficult to paint fish than other birds and birds; this painting work is needless to say: out of thin air imagination can capture the essence of the gods, painting the fish freely, which is commendable!

Moreover, the craftsman of this bowl is extremely skilled, and he is obviously very good at using cobalt blue and shade to divide into five colors, and the whole picture is rich and varied.

Indigo painted bones, light blue color, full of swimming fish research posture. As for the lotus leaves, the cobalt blue is removed with a needle, the white veins are exposed, and the large leaves are more decorated with moss points along the curved edges, and the skilled craftsmen may deliberately increase the black defects of their kiln burning, creating a trend of flourishing and dying, and summer and autumn.

In the long history of China, from the beginning of Qin Shi Huang to the abdication of the Manchu Xuantong, a total of 137 genuine emperors have been produced, among which there are wise and martial, some are incompetent, some are mediocre, and some are talented.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, it was really a characteristic of an emperor, and the undisputed artistic talent was Zhu Zhanji of Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, known as Emperor Xuande in history. Zhu Zhanji, Yashang Hanmo. He is especially good at painting landscapes, people, animals, flowers, birds, grasses and insects. For the progress and development of blue and white porcelain, the Xuande Emperor also spared no effort to support, Zheng He went to the West seven times from the Mediterranean region to bring back the main raw material for the production of blue and white porcelain - Su Ma Li green material, due to the emperor's support and enlightenment, blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty Xuande period rapid development to the peak.

The blue and white porcelain fired by the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty has a very important position in the history of Chinese ceramic development. It is famous for its simple, elegant shape, crystal bright glaze, colorful ornamentation, compared with the blue and white porcelain of other dynasties in the Ming Dynasty, its firing technology has reached its peak, becoming one of the famous porcelain products in China, and its achievements are praised as "the unprecedented wonder of the opening generation". Evaluation of Xuande porcelain: all materials are fine, blue and white are the most expensive.

As the heyday and golden age of blue and white porcelain, Xuande blue and white has reached its peak of artistic achievements, and has been deeply loved by people since the Ming and Qing dynasties. It reflects the social, economic, cultural, artistic and ideological concepts of the time. As a court porcelain and exquisite works of art, it has a unique artistic charm, which has a lot to do with the perfection of the system and the maturity of the technology at that time, and the work has been respected by later generations as a model of blue and white craftsmanship.

"There are few Xuande official kilns, and even fewer are Xuande official kilns with style. In the Palace Museum, there should be a few hundred pieces of Xuande blue and white flowers, and there may only be two with money.

The Palace Museum enjoys a good reputation all over the world, and only two of the 750 pieces of Xuande blue and white ware have a model to imagine how precious Xuande is. This kind of blue and white can make people's expressions suddenly excited, because it has surpassed the visual experience of ordinary people, the tone is both bright and bright and elegant, and with a quiet and tranquil charm, coupled with flashing spots, Ambilight, no beauty but not perfect, it can indeed be called a god in the world. It's a pity that there are too few heirlooms
