Meng Zitao just smiled, he was not worried about this, he was not arrogant, but since he had decided to investigate Wang Qingbin, then Du Yizhou would definitely have to investigate it with him, in this case, if Du Yizhou wanted to take revenge on himself, how could he not know the reason?

Seeing that Meng Zitao was confident, Xu Xingzhi didn't say anything more, they had just met, and it was a bit shallow to talk about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Next, Dong Jichang and Xu Xingzhi admired the vases of flowers and birds, discussed the general, and then watched with some envy as Meng Zitao put them back into the brocade box. Although they all have the idea of pocketing this pair of flower and bird vases, the value of at least 8 million still discourages them.

"Wait a minute, and I'll go get my stuff. ”

After chatting for a while, Xu Xingzhi went out and brought in the porcelain that Dong Jichang wanted, but it was an imitation of the brother kiln Sanyang Kaitaizun.

Dong Jichang's eyes lit up a little when he saw this imitation brother kiln Sanyang Kaitaizun, and he was very excited, but he still knew his catties and taels at this time, so he couldn't help but get started, and asked Meng Zitao to help identify it first.

However, Meng Zitao was a little strange in his heart, because this imitation of Brother Kiln Sanyang Kaitaizun gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen the same artifact somewhere, which made him lift his spirit, and his memory should not be wrong, so in general, in this case, the possibility of high imitation is very high.

This imitation brother kiln imitates the ancient bronze statue, skimming the mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, round belly, circle feet. Stocky and heavy, the three sheep heads are evenly distributed at the junction of the waist and neck. The whole body is imitating the glaze, the glaze is thick, the glaze is smooth and gray-cyan, the glaze is covered with different size of the sheets, the deep ones are like iron, and the light ones are golden yellow. The soles of the feet are iron black, and the blue and white books on the outer soles are written in the six-character three-line seal book of "Qianlong Year of the Great Qing Dynasty".

Sheep in ancient China is a symbol of purity and nobility, the Chinese character "sheep" and "auspicious" are connected, Xu Shen "Shuowen Jiezi" said: "sheep, auspicious". The bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties also see the image of sheep. The artistic modeling and ornamental patterns of the three sheep combination were very popular in the Qing Dynasty, in addition to jade, ceramics and paintings are often praised with the title of "Sanyang (sheep) Kaitai".

Sanyangzun was also deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong for its quaint and stocky shape. In the archives of the Qianlong Dynasty Manufacturing Office, there is a record of the Qianlong Emperor's order to burn the "factory official glaze three sheep zun". At the same time, the Qianlong Emperor also decorated the Sanyang Zun with other color glazes, which shows the king's love for the unique shape of this type of vessel.

He also remembered Tang Ying's "Taocheng Chronicle Tablet" and said: "Imitation of iron bone glaze is the characteristic of imitating Song Ge glaze." Ge kiln is one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty. The Qianlong Dynasty imitation brother kiln is very delicate in terms of opening and glaze, which can be called perfect. This is the case with the Buddha-figures.

This Sanyangzun is dignified, simple and beautiful, the glaze is moist and thick, and the texture changes are rich and intriguing. At the bottom, there is a six-character seal book of "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty", the seal method is rigorous, the pen is straight and beautiful, it is a typical vessel of Qianlong imitation glaze, and it has reached the degree of "antique and secret, and the truth is the same".

When Meng Zitao had already had the result, Xu Xingzhi took the lead and asked, "Teacher Meng, I don't know how my Sanyang Venerable is?"

Seeing Dong Jichang's gesture and say directly, Meng Zitao was not ambiguous, and said with a smile: "Yes, open the door to the generation." ”

When Dong Jichang heard this answer, his face bloomed with joy: "Brother, can you introduce one or two troubles?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said that there was no problem, and then talked eloquently: "Speaking of the imitation kiln of the Qing Dynasty, I have to mention the brother kiln porcelain of the Yongzheng period, which was ordered by Tang Ying to supervise the pottery in the imperial kiln factory. After being sintered by fire, the appearance is iron black or oily and shiny, and the enamel is smooth, with putty, gray blue and pink blue. ”

"Because the carcass contains iron and has a natural purple-black color, the glaze is exposed, so the 'purple iron foot' can also appear. At this time, it was the highest level of porcelain-making technology in the Qing Dynasty, and the imitation ware was the most visible. However, despite the high skill of treating the glaze, due to the limitations of the times, it is still not comparable to the natural characteristics of the Songge kiln. ”

In the Qianlong period, Tang Ying supervised the pottery affairs and continued to imitate the kiln porcelain. Although Emperor Qianlong has repeatedly decreed that imitation porcelain strives to be realistic, due to the limitation of objective conditions, the craftsmanship has never been surpassed. Its process, shape, fetal quality, glaze color, etc. are basically the same as those of Yongzheng ware. And this Sanyang Zun is in line with the characteristics of the official imitation brother kiln in the Qianlong period......"

After listening to Meng Zitao's detailed introduction, Dong Jichang was completely relieved, and then he couldn't wait to go out with Xu Xingzhi to discuss the price.

And Meng Zitao continued to carefully recall, where had he seen similar utensils, when the two negotiated the price, and returned to the reception room with a smile, Meng Zitao finally remembered.

After Meng Zitao apprenticed before, Zheng Anzhi gave him some albums of various antiques, on which the things have various origins, but most of them are photos of the collections of various museums across the country, and the details are described in great detail.

Meng Zitao now recalls that there is an introduction to Sanyangzun on the album, which is exactly the same in terms of age, tire glaze, and vessel type. If you want to say that it may be fired in one furnace, but there is no difference in even the opening piece, then there is a problem, even if it is a high imitation, it is impossible to achieve the same size of the opening piece.

Therefore, Meng Zitao has reason to believe that this Sanyangzun is the one in the atlas, however, the Sanyangzun is obviously the collection of the local museum, and it is definitely impossible to take it out and sell it.

Meng Zitao thought about it, and then asked Xu Xingzhi: "Shopkeeper Xu, let me ask a more presumptuous question, I don't know what the origin of this Sanyang Zun is?"

According to the rules of the antique industry, it is taboo for Meng Zitao to ask this, but in this situation, he still has to ask clearly.

Xu Xingzhi was stunned, and then suddenly thought of a possibility and hesitated.

Seeing this, Dong Jichang also realized that something was not right, and hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper Xu, is there a problem with the origin of this artifact? If this is the case, I will not buy it." ”

Meng Zitao took over and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, to be honest, I don't want to be a wicked person, but the origin of this thing must be problematic, with my understanding of it, it is unlikely to appear in the market, so I hope you can tell me what you know, if it really has nothing to do with you, I can also vouch for you." ”

Xu Xingzhi heard Meng Zitao say this, and understood that this matter could not be left to chance, so he said: "To be honest, this artifact was transferred to me by my friend, the price is indeed not too high, and I really don't know its origin, but I happened to hear another friend mention it later, he was photographed from a small exchange meeting, if there is indeed a problem, I am also a victim." ”

In the end, Xu Xingzhi's expression was a little bitter, he was lucky when he bought this thing, thinking that he would not be so unlucky, but the small probability of something was still encountered by himself, and he could only sigh that he was unfavorable for the year.

Meng Zitao understood as soon as he heard it, it sounded like a small exchange meeting, but it was actually a black market auction, and the things at this kind of auction had many problems with their origins, and there were very few problems, and it seemed that this Sanyang Zun was probably obtained by illegal means.

Dong Jichang also understood, looking at the Sanyang Zun on the table, he was very depressed, in the end, he was still reluctant to give up, so he asked: "Brother, can you tell me about its origin?"

Meng Zitao shook his head: "Don't ask about this, no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it." ”

Hearing Meng Zitao say this, both of them were thoughtful, and faintly had some conjectures about the origin of this artifact. Xu Xingzhi felt that this matter was quite tricky, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

Meng Zitao said: "Shopkeeper Xu, if the matter is indeed consistent with what you said, I can guarantee that you are okay, as for the loss, you can ask your friend for it, if he does not agree, it can be solved through a lawsuit." However, I suggest you do not contact him for the time being until things are progressive. ”

Xu Xingzhi smiled bitterly: "I listen to you, but the chance of coming back is estimated to be very slim." (To be continued.) )
