Chapter 43: A bottle in a bottle

"Huh, another one?" the girl looked at Zhuo Feng in surprise, blinking her watery eyes.

"Okay, let's go, on the way, there is a car in front of the hotel. After Chen Xiaoyan finished speaking, she screwed on her satchel and walked out of the room.

Sitting in the business car, Liu Sheng politely stretched out his right hand to the girl opposite.

"Hello, I'm Zhuo Feng's old classmate, my name is Liu Sheng!

Chen Xiaoyan nodded politely and smiled slightly. Turning his head to look at Zhuo Feng.

"How did you know the man who sold antiquities just now?"

Zhuo Feng told Zhang Niuhai about the past and back of his acquaintance, and truthfully recounted it.

"Defective blue and white vase? It seems that this person named Haizi has a good eye. If this person has any other antique goods to sell next time, contact me as soon as possible. ”

In a blink of an eye, the school guard recognized the group's business vehicle and let it go directly.

Opening the door of the dormitory, Chen Xiaoyan saw the big vase in the corner at first glance.

The cold plum on the vase is unyielding in the cold winter, and four or five plum blossoms bloom at the bottleneck.

But this bottle has a very peculiar shape, thick at the top and slightly thin at the bottom, but the mouth of the bottle is surprisingly small, and half a fist can't be put in, I really don't understand why the ancients would make such a useless bottle out.

"There is a long, deep crack in the bottom of this vase, which is probably the largest part of the remnants of this large vase. There's also a piece missing from the mouth of the bottle. ”

Zhuo Feng pointed to the bottom of the bottle and the mouth of the bottle and said separately.

Following Zhuo Feng's pointing, Chen Xiaoyan soon discovered these remnants.

From the moment I saw the big vase at the door, I had a doubt in my heart, and it was hard to say it for a while.

Let's take a look.

Such a beautiful ornament, as well as such a beautiful tire glaze, green material. Except for the peculiar shape, which can prove to be blue and white porcelain.

Chen Xiaoyan gently hugged the vase, wanting to pick it up and look at the bottom of the foot, but she didn't know if it was because her strength was too small or something, so she didn't hold it.

I added a little more strength, but I still didn't get it.

It's so heavy.

It's impossible!

Zhuo Feng also remembered at this time that this vase was held back and forth by Hanwa. I didn't try, I didn't know it would sink like this.

So he went up to the girl and said, "I'll try it." ”

"Be careful. Chen Xiaoyan took a few steps back.

Zhuo Feng stepped forward and used a little force at first, but he only picked up the vase a little bit, and he didn't dare to be careless. A little more power was added, and the vase moved.

Zhuo Feng took a few steps forward, and there was a muffled echo in the bottle.

"Stop, stop!" Chen Xiaoyan shouted.

"Is there a hammer in this dormitory, or anything like that?" Chen Xiaoyan asked as she watched Zhuo Feng put the vase steady.

Zhuo Feng hurriedly took out a hammer from the toolbox under the bed.

"Come, smash this vase open!" Chen Xiaoyan pointed to the vase and said to Zhuo Feng, "But be light, come little by little, don't worry." ”

Since it was the girl who asked for it, there must be her reasons and reasons.

Zhuo Feng started to knock from the gap in the mouth of the vase.

How can this kind of ancient artifact withstand the knock of heavy objects, and soon one by one cracks and cracks and falls off.

In advance, Chen Xiaoyan asked Zhuo Feng to lay many layers of newspaper under the vase before knocking, so that the falling vase fragments would not fall and hit the ground and shatter into slag.

After the bottleneck was broken, the vase fragments fell a few more layers before another bottle mouth emerged.

"Ahh

Hearing the girl's exclamation, Zhuo Feng didn't dare to knock harder, so he had to put on cotton gloves and peel off the fragments one by one along the gaps.

Liu Sheng and Hanwa were not idle on the side, and the two of them wrapped the vase fragments knocked down by Zhuo Feng in the same way as newspapers. Chen Xiaoyan has previously explained that these fragments can still be restored to their original state, but there will be some more gaps, but they are also valuable for research.

Slowly peel off to the bottom of the large vase, and then the vase wrapped inside is presented to everyone.

This small vase, much smaller than the large vase, is also a piece of blue and white porcelain.

Compared with the two, the small vase is a few big levels better than the big vase.

The large vase looks like it was made in an ordinary kiln, while the small vase looks more like it was made in an official kiln.

Gong Shi of the Qing Dynasty praised blue and white porcelain in his "Tao Song": the white glaze blue and white are made into a fire, and the flowers are clearly visible from the glaze. It can participate in the innate wonderfulness of creation, and the origin of Wuji is born in Taiji.

This poem can be used perfectly on a small vase.

The color of this small vase pattern is more vivid and stable, rich, clean and elegant. After the pigment on the bottle is roasted by the high temperature of the fire, it is mixed with black spots in the pattern, adding a bit of naturalness and blending into one.

Chen Xiaoyan put on gloves, picked up the small vase from the bottom of the large vase, and checked the foot of the small vase. There is a "Ming Dynasty Wanli Year Made" year on it.

Carefully placing the small vase on the table, Chen Xiaoyan turned over the bottom of the large vase to check the payment.

However, due to the large cracks in the large vase before, only the words "Jiaqing" can be seen.

Chen Xiaoyan looked at everything in front of her in surprise, and couldn't believe that the two vases were more than 200 years apart.

"Big beauty, can you tell us what's going on? There's a small vase in the big vase?"

Liu Sheng was also surprised by what he saw in front of him, so he asked Chen Xiaoyan.

"When I entered the door and saw this big vase, I felt the strangeness of this vase, and I made a bold assumption. Just now, when Mr. Zhuo was walking around with a large vase, I heard the sound inside, and my intuition told me that my hypothesis was valid.

Such a large piece of blue and white porcelain cannot be so heavy, and there is a muffled sound, and the bottle mouth is very small, these are all artificially designed like this. That only means that there is something in the vase, and it is something that is not expected to be discovered. Acknowledging her opinion, the girl continued.

"To be able to fire a bottle within a bottle so perfectly without destroying the small vase to be protected is a technique worthy of our admiration. In order to really protect the small vase, the official kiln will definitely not do such a thing, so it can only find a reliable private kiln to fire, which leads to a large crack in the bottom of the large vase. This is the shortfall of perfection. This story is not something that our younger generations can figure out.

And you bought it at such a low price, you are the real king of leaks today. ”
