Chapter 408: Imitation of the Purple Clay Pot
Don't sigh Xie Xiaopang's good luck, continue to look at other people's collections, with Xie Xiaopang's beginning, others are not hypocritical, and they have taken out their own things to share.
A small half of them have been seen by Zhao Tianming before, although their horizons have broadened a lot, they can't talk about how surprising they are.
"Let's help me see, what is the origin of this purple clay pot?"
The treasures in front, except for Xie Xiaopang's Jade Buddha, are not particularly outstanding, maybe there is the baptism of the Jade Buddha, and other things are difficult to see!
At this time, someone brought up a purple clay pot that seemed exquisite, but it looked a little new, and it looked very uncertain.
"You can't get this from the purple clay pot fair next door, do you? Isn't it too perfunctory? Or do you think there's something missing out there?"
Some people joked that the purple clay pot is generally the favorite of the old people who love tea art, of course, it is not excluded that young people also like it, and it cannot be generalized, and a penny kills a boatload of people.
In addition, the new purple clay pot is generally not too valuable, and most people love it or the ancient pot left by the ancient literati.
Therefore, the purple clay pot that this person brought up did not arouse everyone's interest, and no one went up to take a serious look.
"What kind of exhibition will you get it? Is this what I bought in an antique shop a few days ago? What kind of eyes are you? How can this craft be made by ordinary people?"
The owner of the purple clay pot was immediately unhappy, he couldn't afford to wear this hat, if others knew that he was so perfunctory and insincere, who would take him to play in the future?
Besides, he really thinks that there is something in this purple clay pot, but he can't be sure, and his heart is itching, so he brought it to this exchange meeting, let everyone take a look at it together, who knows that he actually said that he bought it from the fair, and he knows what kind of purple clay pot trade fair there will be here!
"If it weren't for the teapot being too new, I thought it was Shi Dabin's work, but you look at the exquisite craftsmanship and full charm, which is not a fake that you usually see, but a very careful imitation, which can never come from the hands of ordinary people. ”
Seeing that it could not arouse everyone's interest, the owner of the purple clay pot could only introduce himself.
As soon as he said this, everyone really became interested, and Shi Dabin's name, many people have heard of it, is a famous pot master in the Ming Dynasty.
He pioneered the sand mixing method of pots, and pioneered a variety of pot types such as square and round, enriching the style of purple sand pots, and later changed the large pot to a small pot, making the purple sand pot more suitable for the tea drinking habits of literati and ink writers, introducing the literati taste into the pot art, combining the pot art with the tea ceremony, and advancing the pot art to a new height.
Shi Dabin has comprehensive pot-making skills, and has outstanding achievements in clay preparation, forming techniques, vessel shape design and genus calligraphy. He selects purple sand mud and blends it into various mud colors to form a simple and majestic style.
Legend has it that Dabin's creative attitude is extremely serious, and whenever he encounters a work that he is not satisfied with, he will destroy it. It seems that many pot makers have this habit, I wonder if it is also spread from him?
There are very few works of Shi Dabin that have been handed down, and during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, his works were already regarded as rare treasures.
According to incomplete statistics, excluding some uncertain private collections, there are only about a few dozen existing purple sand pots, if the purple sand pot in front of him is really imitated by him, even if it is not real, it is also very interesting.
Several interested people didn't care about doubting the eyes of the owner of the purple clay pot, and they stepped forward one after another to observe.
One of them took the lid off the pot before he started to observe, and at first glance he was a familiar hand and had a hobby in this area. This is a habit of appreciation that has been cultivated for a long time, so as not to accidentally break the lid of the pot when you look through it.
Looking at it from a distance and looking at it closely, it was really very different, and they immediately saw the extraordinary nature of the purple clay pot in front of them, no wonder its owner was so sure that it was not from the hands of ordinary people.
This purple clay pot is crystal clear and bright, the shape is delicate and simple, and on the body of the pot, there is a small picture of landscape figures, between square inches, lifelike, showing the skill and artistic level of the maker.
Without a little cultural accomplishment, it is absolutely impossible to imitate such a picture with Shen Yun, and every purple clay pot master is also an art master, no one will doubt this.
Based on this picture alone, it can be concluded that this purple clay pot must have come from the hands of a master, not to mention, as well as the delicate and full body of the pot, showing the extraordinary craftsmanship of the imitator.
The identification method of the purple clay pot is roughly divided into four types: looking, smelling, listening, and cutting, seeing, that is, looking at the color of the purple clay pot, smelling, is smelling the smell of the purple clay pot, generally speaking, the new pot made not long ago, there is a or smell.
The purple clay pot in front of me, although it is not the kind of pot that is hundreds of years old, but obviously, it has not just been made, and the completion time has been at least more than ten years or even decades, so naturally there is no smell of fire.
However, it has not formed the unique ancient rhyme that has been brewed over time, and the passage of time seems particularly slow in it.
Listening, is to listen to the sound, with the lid of the pot on the spout of the pot gently scratched, the real purple clay pot, can hear the crisp sound of jade. Cut, that is, touched, the old pot is very round and smooth, and the new pot has a sense of dryness.
This purple clay pot obviously does not have this defect.
From all aspects, this purple clay pot seems so unusual, many people think that it must be from the hand of a master, but who imitated it is a bit unsophisticated.
"Do you have any clues? Guess or not, just say it and listen to it, maybe you can give you a hint. ”
At first, I couldn't see much useful information when I started to observe that person, and I had to admit that my vision was still not enough, so I spoke.
"This pot doesn't seem to have left any marks, and it imitates Shi Dabin's craftsmanship, there are no clues, where can you guess?" said a person next to him, shaking his head.
"Since we can't see the clue, why don't we just skip it first? Take it back later and find a senior to take a look, I wonder if the senior Liu has any research in this area?"
Liu Yunfei shrugged, there must be research on it, but to what extent, it is difficult to say, no one dares to guarantee that this situation will be identified.
"You guys are a little bit promising, right? Just take a look, and if you can't see it, you will leave the burden and quit?"
The owner of the purple clay pot was immediately unhappy, watching the purple clay pot pass around in the hands of everyone, but no one could see any tricks.
He put down his face and brought something that he was not sure about to this exchange meeting, wasn't it just to find out the truth and solve the doubts in his heart?
