Chapter 55: A Difficult Appraisal (3)

Lin Yue put down the sixth piece of porcelain he checked, the first six pieces were all high-imitation, and the glaze or carcass were all high-quality imitations when there was no road, with only very slight loopholes. Even if it is subtle, it is fake, so Lin Yue was slightly disappointed in his heart, when will he be able to find the real porcelain among the ten pieces.

After identifying the sixth piece of porcelain, Lin Yue still had less than ten minutes left.

For the three pieces just now, because Lin Yue's state of mind had changed and he found the applied porcelain identification state, it only took eight minutes.

There are still four pieces of porcelain left.

There are less than ten minutes left.

Four pieces of porcelain to find out if one of them is real in ten minutes, this is definitely an extremely difficult figure.

Let's try harder!

If you still haven't figured out anything that is true with two minutes left, use the state of the ancient well to match the ability.

Half a minute to enter the state of the ancient well without waves and turn on the ability, a minute and a half to feel the viscosity of the porcelain, and determine the authenticity.

Come on!

Lin Yue cheered himself up in his heart, and his eyes suddenly showed a resolute look.

Lin Yue walked quickly to the seventh piece of porcelain

The seventh piece of porcelain is a large blue and white bowl.

This bowl...... It seems to have been used to ...... Soup-drinking?

The muscles on Lin Yue's face couldn't help twitching, and the bowl where he used to drink soup had become a treasure now.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Yue picked up the bowl and looked at it carefully.

The center of the blue and white bowl has a picture of a fairy riding a crane, the fairy Weng looks leisurely, the corner of the mouth is smiling, it seems to be integrated with foreign objects, the crane flies in the air, the posture is incomparably beautiful. The outside of the bowl is frescoed with the eight immortals of various postures, densely covered with the word "longevity" in seal script. The outer edge of the mouth is painted with plum blossom trim. The whole blue and white bowl gives people a sense of peace, and there is a feeling of prolonging life in the body.

The eight immortals painted on the outer wall of the bowl are not the eight immortals of He Xiangu that people say now, but the eight immortals who remove He Xiangu and add Dongfang Shuo.

Seeing the Eight Immortals Lin Yue roughly judged the age of this bowl, the blue and white bowl during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

He Xiangu's appearance in the Eight Immortals was after the appearance of Wu Yuantai's novel "Journey to the East of the Eight Immortals" in Jiajing, which determined the combination of Tie Guan Li, Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Guolao, Cao Guoshu, Han Xiangzi, Lan Caihe, and He Xiangu. Before, Dongfang Shuo or Xu Xianweng were among them. The reason why Dongfang Shuo, who did not paint He Xiangu during the Wanli period, but painted the long-bearded Dongfang Shuo was because in the first fifteen years of Wanli, due to Zhang Juzheng's Prime Minister Kuang Zheng, the control of Wanli was very strict, especially in terms of women's color, and at the same time, because of the patriarchal relationship, He Xiangu was not painted.

Lin Yue turned over the bottom of the bowl and saw the style on it.

Ming Wanli year.

The writing style is familiar and free, and the sketching turns are all old and spicy, which is not comparable to the inferior brushwork of ordinary imitations. This is the unbridled and smooth style of calligraphy in typical Ming Dynasty folk kilns.

Lin Yue turned the blue and white bowl over again and carefully looked at the features on the surface.

At this time, the professional knowledge is examined, and if there is no knowledge of porcelain in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there is no way to start.

Lin Yue wanted to look at the glaze, the glaze was very shiny, which was very similar to the characteristics of new imitation porcelain. But then he overturned his preconceived notions. General porcelain, if the fire is enough, the glaze can naturally be pleasing to the eye, especially after hundreds of years of cultivation, it is even more treasure-shining, and the new imitation of the dazzling thief light is naturally not the same.

Lin Yue carefully felt the glaze of the blue and white bowl in front of him, and found that it was indeed not dazzling.

He couldn't help but shake his head at the thought of his reckless judgment just now.

Next time, you must judge the conclusion, and you can't preconceive!

If it weren't for my own heartfelt feelings, I would have been deceived by this shining glaze.

No wonder others often say that "the new is not afraid of the truth, and the truth is not afraid of the new".

According to the order of identification, Lin Yue looked at the shape of the bowl.

This blue and white bowl has a beautiful shape and is a continuation of the typical Zhengde bowl.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the bottom of the bowl is always relatively fat, there is a stable style of the lower plate, the outer wall of the circle foot is obliquely cut downward, and the collocation of the upward support is made, which complements each other even more; after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the outer wall of the bowl slips down the mouth end of the apostrophe, and the waist is slightly concave, forming a dynamic arc, and the circle foot is often a straight wall, which better sets off the arc - Wanli bowl adheres to this shape, and feels quite good when mastered, in addition to the aesthetic sense, it also strengthens the practical value.

Well, the shape of the vessel is the style of Wanli, and this style has also become a model of later porcelain bowls.

Lin Yue nodded secretly, and then continued to check the rim and hoop of the blue and white bowl.

This large bowl has a mouth edge like an insect bite, and it is full of mottled holes.

He clearly remembered that his master He Changhe said that after the Wanli period to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there would always be such a small hole in the mouth of the bowl, such a small hole in the porcelain industry called "cockroach bite", the reason for this phenomenon is because before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the porcelain clay in Jingdezhen continued to use the porcelain blank produced in the nearby Macang area, as the fetus of porcelain, the quality is delicate and exquisite, and the glaze is closely combined, so the utensils are solid and rarely consumed. But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Macang soil was exhausted, so I had to use the porcelain clay from other regions as the tire, and the fetal glaze was not well combined during firing. Due to the glaze relationship along the mouth of the utensil, the phenomenon of glaze shrinkage is obvious, so the cockroach bite is produced.

The porcelain of the late Ming Dynasty is not only characterized by the mouth of the bowl, but also by the circle foot.

In terms of lapping feet, the tire repair at the end of the Ming Dynasty became very sloppy, in addition to the layers of vertical scratches on the outer wall of the foot, there are often obvious radial jump knife marks left by the bamboo knife tire repair in the bottom foot, and the junction of the circle foot and the bowl wall, no matter inside and outside, you can see the small holes that seem to have been bitten by cockroaches.

Lin Yue carefully inspected the lap foot of the blue and white bowl in front of him according to the memory in his mind, and found that the characteristics of the lap foot were exactly the same as what his master said.

Another piece of evidence!

Lin Yue's heart couldn't help but get excited, hoping that this porcelain was real, so that he wouldn't have to worry about worrying that he wouldn't be able to find the real one of the ten pieces of porcelain within the specified time.

Go on!

Lin Yue continued to try to recall the knowledge taught by his master He Changhe, and soon Lin Yue thought of the characteristics of porcelain in the Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty.

One is the ingredient of blue and white, and the other is the single-line flat coating and water separation method.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, from the beginning of Jiajing, it was transported back and forth from the Western Regions, and then matched with Jiangxi Shiziqing as the color of blue and white. If the proportion of green material is slightly higher, then the blue and white will be bright and quiet, and if the stone green is used more, the color will be gray and blue. Because the price of Huiqing is expensive, so when it comes to the end of Wanli to the apocalypse, especially the folk use stone green to depict ornaments in order to save money.

The blue and white bowl in front of you is bright and lively, the color is gray and blue, and it can be seen that it is a utensil in the Wanli period.
