"Yes. But that one looks too unpresentable. Pu Jie shook his head, "It's true that this old man is obsessed with old things, but his eyesight is not growing when he is old." ”

"What's not the right way?" Yu Yao asked.

"It's like an elongated plum bottle, more than a foot high, and the thickest part is only a dozen centimeters, but it is white glazed, quite white, but the bottom of the tire is relatively thick, and there is no money. The ugliest thing is that there are edges on it. ”

"Edge-by-edge?"

"It's like a screw, a raised circle. ”

"No other ornaments?"

"This······ False lap feet, there seems to be a circle of scattered black flowers on the circle feet, like blades of grass, but it is not good-looking. Pu Jie said, "Although my eyesight is not good, this thing should be burned in an ordinary kiln." ”

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Isn't it the feeling of the kiln, don't you think it's old?"

"I've never seen anything like this, but it doesn't look like something new. But even if it's not new, it should be something of little value. ”

"In this way, you can contact us, and we will return this blue and white slag bucket tomorrow, and then I will take a look at the bottle by the way. ”

"Okay, I'll have to return the things anyway. ”

The two agreed, and Pu Jie left with the brocade box.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Pu Jie drove to pick up Yu Yao. The old man got up early, and he said that he could meet at half past seven, but Pu Jie postponed it.

The old man's surname is Wang, older than Pu Cunzhi, and Pu Jie has called him Uncle Wang since he was a child. It turned out that he was a neighbor with Pu Jie, but there was no elevator on that floor, and he was old, and it was a little difficult to go up and down the stairs, and later his son bought him a small high-rise apartment with an elevator.

After his wife died two years ago, his son always wanted him to go to the United States, he couldn't live or die, and now he lives alone, but he hired a small nanny, only went during the day, cooked lunch, and washed clothes and cleaned by the way.

When Yu Yao and Pu Jie went, the little nanny went to buy vegetables, Uncle Wang was very hospitable, and when he heard that Yu Yao also opened an antique shop, he sat down and served fruit and tea.

"Uncle Wang, you're welcome. After Pu Jie sat down, he said directly, "Your blue and white porcelain, we won't accept it for the time being." ”

"Xiaojie, listen to what you mean, do you want this Xiaoyu to give you a palm?"

Yu Yao smiled, "Uncle Wang, I took a look." ”

"What's wrong? The price isn't right, or is it the wrong thing?"

"This ······"

"I'm a private hobby, not a person in your antique shop, just talk about it if you have something to say, it's good to have a good idea!" Uncle Wang said happily without being in a hurry or impatience.

As he spoke, he was rubbing a pair of walnuts in his hand, full of starry lion heads.

Pu Jie knew that Yu Yao was a little embarrassed, and pointed to the lion's head in Uncle Wang's hand and interjected, "Uncle Wang, you should clean up your pair of walnuts, the empty space is full of dirty mud!"

"This is slurry, what a dirty mud! It's a shame that you're still doing antique business, don't talk nonsense!"

The starry lion head, a walnut variety, is a pimple pattern, with deep and many gaps, and it is indeed easy to "hide dirt and dirt".

Yu Yao happened to answer, "Uncle Wang, this is not pulp. Slurry, in the final analysis, is a special oxide layer, not a putty layer. ”

"Hey, if it weren't for the human body oil, this wouldn't be red!"

"Nuclear things, human body oil is effective, and it can turn red, which is the cause of anthocyanins, and this brightness is caused by the oxide layer formed by constant friction. Let me put it this way, but anything that can be washed off is not slurry, and the slurry cannot be washed off unless it is cleaned thoroughly. ”

"It seems to make some sense. ”

Yu Yao continued, "For example, if you use porcelain, you don't need a handpan, and if you put it for hundreds of years, there will be an oxide layer, so the new porcelain has fire and thief light, but the old porcelain does not." ”

Uncle Wang came back again, "You don't accept my tea bucket, just because you are not old?" I think the glaze is very moisturizing!"

"Uncle Wang, this is not a tea bucket, this is a scum bucket. Pu Jie picked it up again, and repeated what he heard from Yu Yao, "You think, how can the tea bucket be so big?

"Xiaojie, don't say it. I can see that you can't. Uncle Wang pointed at Yu Yao, "He's okay! Let Xiao Yu say! This tea······ What's wrong with the slag hopper. ”

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Uncle Wang, this scum bucket is your son's filial piety to you, I don't have much to say." ”

"Hey! His eyesight is not as good as mine! I don't know his filial piety better than you? I won't be unhappy if I buy the wrong one!"

As soon as Yu Yao heard this, he had to say something about this scum bucket when he took it away and took it back, and he also wanted to see another thing! ”

"Pick it up?" Uncle Wang opened the brocade box and took out the blue and white slag bucket, "If that's the case, this level is enough!"

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, this old man, he can still be like this with such goods in his hands, his mentality is really good! This alone, compared to most players, is to play freely!

Since this is the case, Yu Yao explained in detail why it is the bottom.

"The craftsmanship of the Republic of China is stronger than now!" In the end, Uncle Wang fully accepted and nodded again and again.

Pu Jie took the opportunity to speak, "Uncle Wang, don't you have another bottle to shoot?" It just so happened that Yu Yao came along, let him take a look too!"

"Okay, wait. ”

Uncle Wang then entered a room, took the bottle out of it, and put it on the coffee table without boxing.

"Uncle Wang, how did this come about?" asked Yu Yao as he looked at it.

"It's early. When I was not retired, I went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia and bought it at a market in a small county town. I just thought it was very special, and I was a vase for a while. Later, I liked the color ware, so I put it away, and I didn't take it out. Isn't this a new thing that I've been looking at lately? Pick and choose, just a slag bucket and this bottle. ”

Yu Yao nodded secretly.

That's right.

Because this bottle with a bit of a strange shape and a circle of edges is a chicken leg bottle of the Liao Dynasty. Uncle Wang's purchase place is also in line with the situation, which may have been dug up locally.

The overall body of the bottle is slender and tall, and judging from the bulging arc, it does look a bit like a chicken thigh.

The Liao State was a Khitan dynasty, and the Khitan people were nomadic people, so the porcelain manufacturing industry was not developed. First, the firing technology is not easy to master, and second, the porcelain is fragile. Therefore, the Khitan nobles often used gold, silver and bronze utensils, and the commoners used leather and wooden utensils.

Later, in the process of fighting with the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao State occupied the place of Dingzhou many times.

Dingzhou, where the kiln is located.

It was in this process that the Liao State mastered a certain amount of firing white porcelain and technology and talents, and produced a very important kind of porcelain.

This is Liaobai porcelain.

This chicken leg bottle is exactly Liaobai porcelain.
