Chapter 15 Defective Product
This small bowl is porcelain, azure glazed, less than ten centimeters high, with a round belly and a small mouth. The glaze had a milky feeling, and Yu Yao looked at the inner wall and found that the fetal quality was average.
Shen Ge sat down on the sofa, his two long legs overlapped, and asked, "How is it?"
Yu Yao smiled, "Since the old man took the school to test you, you should say it first!"
"She's already said it. The old man also sat down on the sofa.
Yu Yao glanced at Shen Ge, only to see that her face suddenly turned slightly red, needless to say, it must be wrong, at least not completely.
However, it is indeed very difficult to identify this thing, if it is Yu Yao in the past, let alone Zi Chouyin, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break the dynasty.
"Jun kiln of the Yuan Dynasty. Yu Yao lit it cleanly, and after finishing speaking, he lit a cigarette. I thought it was very natural, but I didn't hold it back with a smug look.
The old man's eyes still shone with surprise.
Before, he heard Shen Ge say that Yu Yao had picked up a jade pot spring bottle from a village kiln on the stall, although this matter can be described as having good eyesight, but it is not an amazing move after all. Besides, Shen Ge also recognized it.
But this azure glazed bowl is different.
Don't look at Jun kiln, it is one of the five famous kilns in Ruguan Brother Junding, and it is quite well-known, but it is complicated.
The historical span of Jun kiln is relatively long, basically from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.
Jun kiln is not a simple kiln mouth, it is a kiln system. Even in the Song Dynasty, there were official kilns and private kilns Junyao. After the Song Dynasty, there were only private kilns in Jun kilns. Jun kiln people's kiln system, even if only the important ones are selected, there are more than a dozen kiln mouths, spanning many provinces.
In addition to the complexity of the Jun kiln, this small bowl is also very special, because it is azure glaze, although the color system of the Jun kiln is very developed, but the azure glaze is not the main force in the Jun kiln.
In fact, people who don't know about porcelain may not know that Jun kilns are not valued in history except for the Song Dynasty official Jun. It wasn't until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the status suddenly came up. There is a saying that "the family wealth is thousand, it is better to have a piece of Jun porcelain", which is a saying that only existed in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Jun kiln also has a characteristic, in the process of historical development, the process is uneven. Especially in the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan people were still white, and the Yuan blue and white flowers were born out of thin air, so the Jun kiln was not welcomed.
"Can you elaborate on that?" the old man was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
"The glaze of Jun kiln has two most important characteristics, one is thick, and the other is kiln change. Because it is thick and viscous, the glaze does not open after firing, but the earthworm walks the mud pattern (note at the end of the chapter). Kiln changes produce color, red and purple are the majority, in fact, it is only determined by the composition of the glaze, such as iron can produce cyan, copper can produce red. However, the Jun kiln of the Yuan Dynasty is not the same as the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty, the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty is red and purple, but the Yuan Dynasty is mostly patchy. β
Yu Yao first came to a theory, these theories, he also knew, but in fact, it is basically useless to have theories alone, because the next thing is the key:
"This small bowl does not appear red spots, but faintly can see the small red spots in the glaze, combined with the fetal quality and the different process characteristics of the Jun kiln system in the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, not only can be determined, but also can be determined: this small bowl should be a glaze adjustment error, and the glaze is too thin. So strictly speaking, it is a defective product of the Jun kiln of the Yuan Dynasty. οΌβ
The old man was a little absorbed when he heard this, but Yu Yao stopped abruptly.
"Why didn't you say it?"
"Isn't that clear enough?"
The old man exhaled a long breath, "It's very clear! Little brother, I don't know where you come from?"
When Shen Ge heard that her grandfather had become a "little brother", she couldn't help but stomp her feet in a hurry;
Yu Yao looked at the old man and did not answer.
He didn't answer because he didn't know what to say.
The old man thought that it was inconvenient for him to introduce, and continued, "The old man is very old, and there are still a few acquaintances in the Chinese antique circle, especially the porcelain circle. β
When Yu Yao heard this, Shen Chongyuan?
But he just met him on the newspaper and television, and after meeting, because of various circumstances, he didn't have the right number, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Shen Chongyuan's name, in Jiangzhou and even the entire Dongjiang Province, is not small, and he is a real antique boss.
No wonder this Shen Ge is so young, his eyesight is so amazing, with such a grandfather, can he not learn well?!
Shen Chongyuan is rich on the first side, but his granddaughter still goes to the auction house to work for others, which is probably to exercise.
"You are the famous Shen Lao?"
"It's all in vain. I haven't heard of you Xiaoyu before, but this eyesight may not be inferior to me!" Shen Chongyuan sighed with emotion, "Thank you Shen Ge, otherwise I wouldn't know that Jiangzhou would have produced a rising star like you!"
"Where, where, I just usually like to ponder, but in fact, there is no master. If you want to talk about Master, my father used to be in the antique business, so I guess I have been exposed to it since I was a child. The small shop Gegu Zhai has inherited the mantle. β
"Oh, where is Ling Zun now?"
"My parents have both passed away, unexpectedly. β
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that. β
"It's no wonder if you don't know, it's also my luck to meet Shen Lao today. β
Shen Chongyuan stood up, "Come on, let's have two more drinks!"
Yu Yao looked at Shen Ge, "Shen Lao, I don't know what Shen Ge said just now?"
"You're remarkable, aren't you?" Shen Ge glared at him.
She couldn't see it. Shen Chongyuan smiled slightly. Yu Yao glanced back at Shen Ge, and said in his heart that he couldn't see what else he was dragging?
The two sat down at the wine table again, but Shen Ge was still sitting on the sofa, and Shen Chongyuan didn't care about her, "Xiaoyu, with your eyesight, why don't Gegu Zhai put more good things on the table?"
Yu Yao couldn't cry or laugh, I wanted to pose, but there was wood!
Yu Yao cleared his throat, "Now that the market is sluggish, the store is just a stronghold and a faΓ§ade, and there are big customers who are directly traded." β
Shen Chongyuan nodded, "You are self-taught, it really makes me a little unbelievable." β
"Actually, I'm incredible. β
Shen Chongyuan laughed, "In addition to porcelain, what kind of category are you good at?"
"I know a little bit about each category. Yu Yao said lightly.
"What?" Shen Chongyuan's face once again showed a look of surprise.
Antiques, mostly specialized, can understand two categories at the same time, that's amazing!
I know a little bit about each of these categories, and although "a little" sounds very modest, it is still difficult for people in the industry to accept.
If you want to do any kind of business, that's okay, after all, the industry can still string goods with each other and help each other.
But to understand, to say identification, antiques are ophthalmology, how can it be done without accumulation?
Even Shen Chongyuan, who was over seventy years old and had a high reputation, didn't dare to say that! He looked at Yu Yao and felt that this bull was a little too big.
Note: Porcelain has a glaze, one-time firing of monochrome glazed porcelain, if the glaze is thin, the most prone to fine irregular cracks, this is the open piece, mainly because the expansion coefficient of the soil and the glaze is different.
The Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty and the official kiln of the Song Dynasty generally have an open piece, but the Jun kiln often does not open the piece; because the tire quality is poor, so a thick and thick glaze is used; after firing, some curved and coarse lines will be formed, just like an earthworm crawling through the wetland, so it is called an earthworm walking mud pattern.
