Chapter 1005 Five-color Flower and Gold Colorful Bowl

Luo Shihao smiled, "Your wish has been fulfilled, shouldn't you also satisfy us?"

Xu Jinglin smiled and said, "No problem, I have already made preparations, you wait for a while." ”

Xu Jinglin got up to get the collection he had prepared, and at this time, everyone turned their attention to Meng Zitao's box.

"Zitao, now you can always tell us, what did you pick up just now, right?" Meng Hongchang was a little eager to know the answer to the mystery.

Meng Zitao opened the box and carefully took out the small colorful bowl: "This is it." ”

"Five-colored small bowl?" Meng Hongchang was slightly stunned, but immediately he was a little surprised: "No, this seems to be different from the five-color of the Ming and Qing dynasties! And I haven't seen the same kind of porcelain before, this won't be the five-color of the Song and Yuan dynasties, or the work of the folk kiln?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "Do you think the workmanship of the kiln is so exquisite?"

Meng Hongchang shook his head and was about to speak, but he saw Luo Shihao next to him with dull eyes and shortness of breath, and he didn't look right.

"Teacher Luo, what's wrong?" Meng Hongchang couldn't help but ask.

Luo Shihao came back to his senses and asked Meng Zitao, "Teacher Meng, is this the one!"

"Yes. Meng Zitao nodded.

"What that, you guys make it clear!" Meng Hongchang was a little speechless.

Luo Shihao said excitedly: "Five-color flowers and gold and five colors, this is the famous five-color flowers and gold and five-color porcelain!"

"Five-color flowers and gold multicolored porcelain?!" There was a sudden exclamation from the side, Xu Jinglin rushed over with the box, really worried that he would be careless, and threw the box out in his hand.

Xu Jinglin put the brocade box in his hand on the table casually, staring at the small bowl on the table, at this moment his eyes were only on the small colorful bowl on the table, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "This seems to be really a five-color flower and gold multicolored porcelain!"

Luo Shihao said with certainty: "Then it goes without saying, this is Teacher Meng's, and there will be no fake." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't say that, just now because of the time, I didn't confirm more, and now there is only a ninety percent possibility." ”

Meng Hongchang smiled bitterly: "Can anyone explain to me, what is five-color flower and gold multicolored porcelain?"

"Why haven't you even heard of five-color flowers, gold and multicolored porcelain?" Luo Shihao said hatefully.

Xu Jinglin's eyes still didn't leave the small bowl, and he said: "This five-color flower and gold multicolored porcelain is much less than the Yuan blue and white, and it is normal that you haven't heard of it." ”

Luo Shihao said: "How can anyone in our business not memorize the precious cultural relics? In the future, if you meet but don't know each other, isn't that just a missed opportunity?"

Meng Hongchang nodded again and again: "Teacher Luo is right, I didn't do my homework well." ”

Seeing that Meng Hongchang's attitude was quite sincere, Luo Shihao stopped talking about it and became a teacher for Meng Hongchang.

"Five-color flowers, gold and five colors" is limited to documentary records, and has never seen the circulation of real objects in history. Because the world has never known, nor have they seen this kind of craft porcelain, until the early nineties of the last century, China's cultural relics circulation coordination center found traces of five-color flower gold porcelain overseas. Immediately, experts from the Shanghai Museum and the Palace Museum were arranged to go abroad for appraisal and inspection.

So, what is five-color flower gold porcelain?

According to the description of "Ming and Qing Dynasty Porcelain Appraisal", the porcelain tire of this kind of porcelain is the Zhufu plain tire fired for the Yuan Imperial Palace; the green glaze of the Shufu of Shiguan kiln is the egg white glaze; red, purple, yellow, blue, white, green (or peacock green) colors are used to decorate with the technique of piling flowers and standing powder, and then adding color to the outline, adding gold sheets (or pasting gold leaf or recoating gold powder).

The ornamentation is the royal traditional cloud dragon pattern, miscellaneous treasures, ruyi, tangled branch flowers and Buddhist meaning of lotus petals, eight treasures, Sanskrit. There is a seal on the wall of the vessel, and there are the dark patterns of the entangled branch chrysanthemum and peony that are popular at that time; the vessel type has a plate, a bowl, a jade pot spring bottle, a goblet, an incense burner, and the place of production is the porcelain capital.

It gives people the overall impression that the color is quaint, the color and the gold piece are integrated, the gold is brilliant, and the splendidness is gorgeous. An important point is that its craftsmanship is obviously influenced by the "big food kiln" pottery and copper enamel inlay in the Western Regions, and produces a strong artistic effect.

It can be inferred from this that this is a new product fired by the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau of the Yuan Dynasty porcelain capital with the introduction of Western Regions techniques, or it was made by imported (captured) craftsmen from the Western Regions. This is another example of the Silk Road heritage.

Hearing this, Meng Hongchang observed the small bowl on the table, the bowl was decorated with purple, blue, peacock green, and enamel glaze, and it was decorated with gold sheets. The inner mouth is decorated with a honeysuckle pattern and a dark pattern, and the interior of the bowl is a Sanskrit text; the bowl is lined with an arc pattern and decorated with dark water ripples, and the lower part of the outer abdomen is decorated with lotus petal pattern and eight treasure patterns.

These are all in line with the characteristics of this kind of precious porcelain that ordinary people have never heard of, and with the endorsement of Mencius Tao, it must not be fake.

Meng Hongchang immediately asked, "How many pieces of this kind of porcelain are circulating now?"

Meng Zitao said: "This kind of porcelain has not been found before, and there must be no collection records in major museums across the country, only two similar artifacts have been found, in addition, a fragment was also exhibited at the Jinling Private Collection Exhibition, and as for overseas, only the British Museum has a fragment." ”

In 1999, the Shanghai Museum acquired six pieces of colorful gold porcelain, except for the plate, goblet and incense burner, the others were all fragments, and then repaired and participated in the exhibition, which caused a lot of sensation at the time. ”

Meng Hongchang said: "In this way, this kind of porcelain is indeed rare, compared to Yuan Qinghua!"

Xu Jinglin took over and said: "Yes, this kind of porcelain was an item used by the nobility in the Yuan Dynasty, and its craftsmanship level has been quite high, just like the precious enamel, it can be said that it is the earliest enamel." Its appearance is half a century ahead of the firing time of colorful porcelain in the history of ceramics in China. Although the quantity is not much, it is quite precious, and it is more than the Yuan blue and white!"

Luo Shihao said with emotion: "You still haven't said a little bit, the preservation of this colorful gold bowl is really good, there is no bump in the place, and there are no obvious flaws, from the Yuan Dynasty to the present can be so completely inherited, itself is a miracle, not to mention that this is such a precious porcelain!

At this time, Meng Hongchang also admired this precious small bowl with a look of amazement, feeling its gorgeous and noble temperament, and he couldn't help but think of Li Yannian's "Beauty Song": "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country, it is difficult to get a beautiful woman. ”

For a while, there was only the sound of everyone's breathing in the room, and after a long time, they came back to their senses.

"Whew! I didn't dare to take out anything of it after admiring such a treasure. Xu Jinglin joked.

Luo Shihao said with a smile: "What does this have to do with it, for example, this colorful golden bowl is the 'dragon liver and phoenix marrow', it is impossible to eat it every day, and you usually have to rely on home-cooked food to satisfy your stomach!"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Teacher Luo said well, in fact, if you eat this dragon liver and phoenix marrow every day, you will get tired of eating it one day." ”

"You give me 'dragon liver and phoenix marrow' every day, I promise I won't get tired of it. Meng Hongchang said with a smile.

"Beautiful, you!"

Everyone laughed, and after a while, in everyone's reluctant eyes, Meng Zitao put away the small bowl, and Xu Jinglin also took out the things he had prepared.

Of course, the antiques prepared by Xu Jinglin are not as good as small bowls, but they are already masterpieces, not to mention that Xu Jinglin also wants to ask Meng Zitao to leave calligraphy, so these are carefully selected by him, and the value is not low.

Meng Zitao looked at them one by one, and said to Xu Jinglin with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xu, I'm sorry for you, I like these three things very much." ”

"It's good to like it. Xu Jinglin laughed, and then talked about the price with Meng Zitao, and finally gave a certain discount.

After the business was discussed, the matter of calligraphy was not in a hurry, everyone began to chat, Xu Jinglin was most curious, or the origin of the small bowl, Meng Zitao did not hide it, and said it directly.

Xu Jinglin sighed with some pity: "Hey, this is luck, Tan Shirong, I have been there a few times, but I only saw some crooked melons and cracked dates." ”

Luo Shihao sneered: "Come on, what you fancie, Tan Shirong may sell it to you cheaply?"

"That's right. Xu Jinglin nodded with a smile, and then said: "I really can't figure it out, although Tan Shirong was a little stingy and slippery in the past, he is not like now, he has been abducted and cheated and stolen, this person will not change his core, right?"

Luo Shihao said: "Who knows what is going on with him, if he says that he loses money, he has never heard of it." ”

Xu Jinglin thought for a while and said: "Speaking of losing money, I know that he seems to have partnered with others to speculate in stocks last year, could it be because of this incident?"

"Can you lose so much money in stock trading?" If you want to talk about antiques, Luo Shihao is a clear man, but he doesn't know much about stock trading.

Meng Zitao said: "The loss of stock speculation is also very serious, especially if you increase leverage, it is very normal to lose all your money. ”

In investment, the so-called leverage refers to the use of a part of the fixed-rate funds in the capital structure to increase the return on investment of common stocks. The purchaser himself invests a small amount, but it may obtain high profits or large losses, and its leverage is large.

For example, when using margin trading with brokers, it is generally necessary to remember that leverage must be controllable, and leverage exceeding 1 times is too risky. That is, the debt ratio cannot exceed 50%. It is generally best to maintain a margin ratio of more than 2.5 times. Before using margin trading, it is important to calculate that the position cannot be closed in the worst-case scenario. Once the position is closed, it is difficult to turn over without the principal, and it is difficult to fill the hole.

For example, if a person only has a principal of 100,000, but because of greed, he has made 20 times leverage, so that although he has earned a lot, the fluctuation of ten points has already been 200,000, what will be the result in case of a loss?
