Chapter 53 Enamel porcelain

They have long regarded Xu Lao as their own family and cared about the situation of their family, which is understandable.

Xu Jie hesitated for a moment and replied, "Speaking of which, it's still a disaster caused by my father. ”

When they saw that Xu Jie was willing to speak, they immediately held their breath and listened carefully to the story.

Xu Jie said in a tone full of helplessness: "Grandpa has two sons and a daughter, the uncle is the eldest and is most valued by grandpa; the second aunt is married to the capital; and the father is the youngest, and he is the most favored by grandpa and grandma." However, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, my father, who did not like to study and enter politics, could not resist the temptation of money, and secretly embarked on a profiteering business of selling antiques. At the beginning, it was also smooth sailing, and the uncle also repeatedly achieved political achievements with the help of his father's money, and he has been happy to go on like this. I didn't want to have an accident later, the news of my father's smuggling of antiques was known by my grandfather, and I immediately cut off relations with my father, and my uncle, who tried to protect my father, also offended my grandfather, so that my grandfather took my grandmother to avoid my hometown of Mingyuan City, and no longer contacted us, which was nine years. ”

They listened to the contradiction on their faces, and they didn't want to have such a secret inside.

Xu Jie told this secret for a reason, and immediately made a request: "The three of you are all grandpa's proud disciples, even those of us who are grandsons don't have such a good face as him." I don't ask you to ease the relationship for us, I just hope that you can spend more time with grandpa, after grandma left, grandpa is too lonely. ”

Wang Hao immediately responded: "This is natural, we still plan to continue to study with the teacher!"

"Jie Shao, we have arrived. ”

Xu Jie was really envious of the relationship between the three of them and Xu Lao, and when he wanted to communicate a few more times, the bodyguard interrupted his plan.

"The time is just right, let's get off. ”

Xu Jie is not an anxious person, and after getting out of the car first, he reminded again: "By the way, checks and anything are not popular here, but cash is played, full cash, I don't know if you have it." ”

Wang Hao and Jiang Jun both looked at Zhou You with a smile, and Zhou You was carrying a black suitcase and patted it proudly.

Xu Jie had noticed the black suitcase before, thinking that it was an important antique, but he didn't want it to be full of cash. Such a black suitcase can hold at least a million yuan, and Zhou You dared to run around with so much cash, which made him a little surprised.

Xu Jie was surprised and continued to remind: "I've been here a few times, but I haven't found anything good, and I've caused trouble a few times." You have to remember that it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, the good from the bad, even the experts are in danger of being exposed, and there are many things here that are not visible, and there are even stolen goods, and if you are not careful, you may get into a lawsuit, so be careful. ”

"Hmm!"

The three of them nodded in unison.

When I looked around, I realized that there were a lot of cars parked on the side of the road, most of them were well-guarded vans and pickup trucks, and the rest were expensive luxury cars, and even luxury sports cars worth millions.

At the same time, Zhou You did find some sneaky figures nearby looking at them, and had to make Zhou You raise his mind. A financier like him, who carries a lot of cash, is indeed the favorite hunting object of those social moths.

Suddenly, Zhou You was a little worried about the safety of a bodyguard.

"Let's go. ”

However, Xu Jie seems to trust his bodyguard very much, and takes the lead as if no one else is around.

Circumference followed closely.

But as they went deeper, Zhou You found that the environment here was not as dirty and cold as he imagined, but a little clean and neat, not only each vendor has its own fixed range, never exceeding the line, and there is a strong light every short distance to ensure the brightness. In addition, I saw a lot of people walking around the stalls, scattered and orderly, without interfering with each other, and there was no sneaky appearance, as if they were not looking at antiques, but the fish, meat and vegetables in the market.

This is simply the most regulated hawker.

"It's becoming more and more standardized. ”

Xu Jie sighed in admiration and walked straight to a booth where the lights were not very bright.

Although there is strong light around, some stalls are still dim due to the angle, and they are still prone to errors.

It stands to reason that Xu Jie should not choose such a stall. But he knew that it was this kind of stall that was easy to be confused that others could look at, and those that were easy to see had already been picked by connoisseurs, so where could it be their turn.

Wang Hao took the lead in taking a fancy to a flower square pot.

The stall owner was obviously not a veteran, and immediately sold: "This boss is a knowledgeable person, this flower square pot is an old object dug up from the old family, at least from the Qing Dynasty." ”

Generally speaking, the stall owners of the black market will not take the initiative to speak, and wait for the customers to finish speaking.

Wang Hao smiled: "The boss is not honest, this flower square pot is obviously from the Republic of China, where is it from the Qing Dynasty." The porcelain production technology of the Republic of China has a high level, and the traces of modern production are obvious. During the period of the Republic of China, in order to improve production efficiency, the major kilns have adopted mechanized or semi-mechanized processing procedures to varying degrees, from the material collection, mud training, billet making, drying, molding and other links are basically taken flow operations, so the production of the green body is neat and uniform, uniform thickness, precise rotary cutting, clean and neat, the fetal soil is fine, and there are few iron stars. If it weren't for the fact that your flower square pot is older, I would still say that it is a modern handicraft. ”

The stall owner replied embarrassedly: "It turns out that the boss is an expert, since this is the case, I will give a reasonable price and take it for 800." ”

Wang Hao replied: "Two hundred! If I don't sell it, I'll go directly to buy modern handicrafts." ”

The stall owner's face instantly became bitter, and he replied: "The price given by the boss is too low, four hundred, it can't be lower, and if it's lower, I'll lose money." ”

Wang Hao seemed to be afraid of long nights and dreams, so he stopped bargaining, and directly handed over four Red Bulls.

After getting the flower square pot and leaving the stall, Wang Hao's face finally smiled.

Xu Jie smiled and asked, "It seems that this thing is not a simple porcelain of the Republic of China?"

Wang Hao was still smiling and replied: "It's Republic of China porcelain, but it's not ordinary porcelain." As the saying goes, one side is three rounds, which makes the value of this pot slightly increased; secondly, the seal behind this is Jiangxi Porcelain Company, the predecessor of the Republic of China porcelain company is the Ming and Qing Imperial Factory kiln, there is a deep technical foundation, so the porcelain fired has a very high level, in the folk at that time there is the name of 'Chiang Kai-shek official kiln'. The sum of the two makes the value of this flower square pot greatly increased, which is a small leak. ”

Xu Jie exclaimed: "Yes, this is a good start!"

Jiang Jun was also in a great mood, patted Wang Hao's shoulder and sighed: "Good sign, I have to work hard!"

"Xiaoyou seems to have a goal. ”

Wang Hao didn't get carried away, and pointed to Zhou You, who had left the team, and said.

Xu Jie was very curious about the mysterious surroundings, and immediately followed, and Wang Hao and Jiang Jun, who was excited, also immediately came to the big booth that Zhou You paid attention to.

This stall sells a lot of miscellaneous things, including porcelain, porcelain fragments, bronze coins, statues of various textures, and even all kinds of jade, which are dazzling to look at. But all of these things have one thing in common:

Small size.

Even the largest piece of porcelain is two sizes smaller than the Yuanji blue-glazed white dragon-patterned plum vase that I encountered before the trip. But it is precisely in this way that this stall can be accommodated.

For the arrival of the tour, the stall owner is not very lively, let the tour observe.

"Can I take a look?"

Zhou You pointed to a brightly colored bowl and asked.

The stall owner's eyes moved, and he nodded back: "Yes, but you be careful, this bowl is very expensive." ”

Zhou You smiled, picked up the porcelain bowl that was so exquisite that it was like a modern handicraft, and turned it to the back to see that it was marked with a blue background of "Qianlong Year", and there was a small "money" stamp on the side.

The exquisiteness of this one makes Zhou You full of praise, it can be described as superb; and the harmony and scale of red, yellow, blue, green, white and other color glazes are perfectly matched, so that Zhou You can not find the slightest fault; and the tire wall is extremely thin, uniform and regular, tightly combined, and the glaze is very fine on such a tire quality, the glaze color is extremely white, the glaze surface luster is not orange peel glaze, wave glaze, and there is no brown eye phenomenon, it can indeed be praised with "white and flawless".

Wang Hao saw the porcelain bowl in Zhou You's hand, and couldn't help but admire: "Very exquisite enamel porcelain, this enamel porcelain bowl is the most exquisite bowl I have ever seen, but this bowl is too new, not only the glaze and tire wall, which are easy to suffer from wear and tear, are not the slightest defect, and even the color is not the slightest loss." If this bowl is old, it will be incredible. ”

What Wang Hao meant was that this bowl was new, not an old object.

Jiang Jun also expressed his opinion: "If I remember correctly, our company auctioned an enamel porcelain from the Republic of China earlier, which was also exquisite and made people sigh, but in the end it was sold for a price of 188,000. ”

Xu Jie also joked: "If this is true, he doesn't have to shoot a stall here." ”

Porcelain fetal painting enamel is the official name of enamel porcelain, which is a kind of glaze colored porcelain transplanted to the porcelain fetus by painting enamel technique, and is also a kind of fine painted porcelain specially made for the Qing Dynasty court, and some products are also used to reward meritorious heroes. According to the documents and archives of the Qing Palace, it was a new porcelain variety created by the craftsmen of the enamel of the Office under the instruction of Emperor Kangxi, who successfully transplanted the technique of painting enamel on the porcelain fetus.

Enamel color flourished in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, and it was a craft treasure monopolized by the court. The required white porcelain tire was specially made by the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory, and after being transported to Beijing, it was painted and fired in the Qing Palace. The required schema was drafted by the Ruyi Pavilion of the Manufacturing Office, approved by the emperor, and painted on the porcelain by the court painter. Enamel porcelain was created and burned in the late Kangxi period, and it was popular in Yongzheng and Qianlong. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was still a small amount of firing, but the firing site was no longer in the Qing palace and moved to Jingdezhen, and finally such an exquisite firing method was preserved.

However, Qing court enamel color is scarce, and the price has soared over the years. On 28 November 2006, at Christie's Autumn Auction of Chinese Porcelain and Crafts, the Qianlong Imperial Enamel Xinglin Chunyan Bowl was sold for HK$151.23 million, setting a world record for Chinese enamel porcelain auctions.

The stall owner finally had an expression and said, "This thing was dug up by a mountain man from a mountain grave, and I don't know the specific situation." Although a few of them are young, they seem to understand the market, and I don't fool a few, 150,000, take what you want. ”
