Chapter 605: Porcelain Tablets

As mentioned above, the porcelain capital is actually a city built on the ruins of the ancient kiln industry, and no matter what infrastructure is built, as long as the ground is started, a large number of ancient porcelain pieces may be unearthed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although most of these ancient porcelain pieces are not valuable as cultural relics because of their serious damage, they are important specimens for beginners to observe and learn.

Therefore, when Meng Zitao looked around, he found that not far ahead, a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher, with several young people with his wife on his face, was picking porcelain in the stall, and the middle-aged man also commented on the porcelain tiles from time to time.

By now, Meng Zitao was no stranger to the ghost market, and after a little observation of the surroundings, he led the army to a stall specializing in porcelain tiles and took a look.

Speaking of which, China's porcelain-making history has a long history, whether it is in the process of porcelain firing, trade and transportation, or in the process of use, a large number of porcelain fragments have been produced.

A few years ago, even if it was ancient porcelain, the price was very low, because the collection of ancient porcelain pieces had been unappreciated before, people who would collect ancient porcelain pieces, except for a few enthusiasts, many people just collected the original utensils when they took a few pieces, and more experts and scholars collected porcelain pieces for the purpose of teaching or scientific research, in this case, the value will not be high.

However, now with the prosperity of the antique market, rare porcelain has also appeared in the auction market one after another new highs, which has also led to the increase in the value of porcelain pieces, and the value of some rare porcelain pieces is even as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan. This used to be an incredible thing, after all, as the old saying goes, porcelain is hairy and not worth a penny.

Of course, since ancient times, there is also a saying that "even if there is a lot of wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain", but in fact, this sentence has been misunderstood by many people, it actually talks about the rarity of Jun porcelain, not the value of Jun porcelain.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Junguan kiln burned tribute for the royal family, only seeking exquisite utensils, regardless of working hours, regardless of cost, the good ones were sent to the court, and the bad ones were broken and buried deeply, and they were not allowed to flow into the people, unless they were rewarded by the emperor. Therefore, the dignitaries and nobles are proud of owning Jun porcelain, which is a kind of mentality of showing off their wealth, and it is not the price standard of Jun porcelain at that time.

Although rarity and value are also related, rare things must be of high value, but it does not mean that rare things must be sky-high, the key depends on people's acceptance.

To get back to the point, Meng Zitao is also empathetic to the improvement of the value of porcelain, thinking that he just entered the industry five years ago, when the price of ancient porcelain tiles was very low, the porcelain tiles of the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty were only a few dozen yuan, and now a piece of porcelain with the bottom section of the "Ming Chenghua year" is worth thousands, even if there is only one word in it, a piece of porcelain can be sold for hundreds of yuan.

Most of the things in the stall in front of me are porcelain tiles, which are divided into several piles by the size of porcelain tiles, and it seems that the quality of porcelain tiles is not bad, but there are also some fakes among them, which were not imitated before, but now with the high price of porcelain tiles, there are people who have profits.

Meng Zitao squatted down to observe, and when he found a good variety, he took it in his hand and studied it.

In fact, in the field of porcelain tiles, experts and folk play are not the same.

For example, Meng Zitao's excitement when he saw a good piece of porcelain was no less than seeing an original artifact, because he saw a more important value than the original.

This is because if it is an original artifact, we cannot clearly see its inner fetal quality, glaze color, etc., while an ancient porcelain piece can provide a lot of important information to Mencius. Even through modern scientific and technological means, we can know which mountain range the porcelain clay comes from, and we can see its element composition, texture texture, microstructure and production process.

These data are of great help to improve the level of identification and research.

Meng Zitao first selected small porcelain pieces, and there was some harvest after a while, of course, what can enter his eyes is definitely not an ordinary variety.

Finally, Mencius set his eyes on the large porcelain pieces, and it was not right to say that they were porcelain pieces, because some of these objects were seriously damaged, but they were still formed, and the best ones could have four-fifths of the integrity.

However, although these large pieces are better preserved than ordinary porcelain tiles, and the probability of counterfeiting is much higher, although there is not enough light now, Mencius still sees at least four problems at a glance.

Meng Zitao roughly glanced at it, and found a plate from it, this plate looks complete, but it has been knocked into four pieces, the center of the plate is a side of the dragon, with green color to outline the outline of the dragon pattern, green color filling, the dragon is surrounded by green color auspicious cloud pattern.

This beautiful dragon pattern is even more beautiful than the dragon pattern on the porcelain that Meng Zitao saw in many museums, which made Meng Zitao very interested, and he found that the foot of the five-clawed dragon used by the emperor was painted with an extra claw and became a six-clawed dragon.

It is estimated that the porcelain painter at that time was too proficient in painting, accidentally painted an extra claw, and also into the kiln to fire, if such porcelain is found, everyone will be beheaded, it is estimated that it is because of this reason, so it was broken at that time, and then secretly buried in the soil, and finally people dug it out.

Although such a one-of-a-kind porcelain is not a complete piece, Meng Zitao believes that if it enters the market, the price will be very high.

However, there is a problem here, in ancient official kilns, there were several kiln unions that made such mistakes, and they also passed the audit and entered the kiln to fire, which is too low.

In addition, Meng Zitao found that the part of this porcelain is somewhat missing, only the three words "Da Ming Cheng" are complete, and only one-third of the remaining "system" word remains, and the other words are missing, although the remaining words seem to be no problem, it can not be said that it is a suspicious point.

Presumably it is precisely because of this that this obviously precious plate was kept.

However, since he has encountered it, how can Meng Zitao have to study it carefully, what if it is genuine?

It was observed that this green color porcelain plate has an overall shape with an open shape, curved walls, and circled feet. The bottom glaze is smooth and smooth, and the inner and outer walls are green dragon patterns.

The outer wall mouth is decorated with a circle of blue and white flowers and leaves, and the underglaze is secretly engraved with seawater reef ornamentation, and the theme decoration is two groups of four green dragons, two dragons go forward, and two dragons look back, all of which are painted with black lines outlining green color. The whole vessel integrates a variety of techniques such as underglaze blue and white, dark carving, and overglaze black line outline and color, with complex craftsmanship and fine production, which is breathtaking.

Meng Zitao thought that based on his own experience, he really didn't believe that this could be an imitation, so he used the ability and laughed in his heart.

Meng Zitao silently put the porcelain plate on the side of the porcelain piece he had just selected, and was about to inquire about the price, when his heart moved, and he felt that this would not work, so he selected a superb imitation from the large piece, and then spoke to the stall owner.

"Boss, please make a price. ”

The boss was a middle-aged man of nearly forty years old, with messy hair, he looked at the things Meng Zitao had chosen, pointed to the small porcelain pieces with a smile and said, "One thousand of that kind, two thousand of that kind...... The other two pieces are a bit expensive, adding up to 50,000 yuan, a total of 65,000 yuan. ”

As we all know, although the price of intact porcelain varies greatly depending on the quality and decoration, in general, there is still an approximate price system according to the age, and there is no corresponding price system for the purchase and sale of porcelain pieces, but there will be a conventional price in the player circle.

At the price of 09 years, for example, the official kiln porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, there are about 200 pieces of porcelain with one word, and 1200 pieces of six words;

Of course, this is just a general situation, if you encounter treasures or good preservation of porcelain, the value is expensive, such as the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty porcelain is relatively difficult to find, the price of a piece of Ru kiln porcelain, has risen from dozens of yuan to thousands of yuan, good quality Jun kiln porcelain, some even tens of thousands of yuan.

Therefore, according to this price, the price opened by the stall owner is expensive, and it is not ordinary expensive, it is several times more expensive.

Meng Zitao knew that the stall owner deliberately slaughtered himself because he was young and had a foreign accent, and he had seen a lot of this kind of scene, which was nothing more than asking for a price to pay back.

So, the two sides went back and forth, and finally made a deal for 13,000 yuan.

After ordering the money, the stall owner found a few old newspapers, wrapped Meng Zitao's things and put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to Meng Zitao: "Come again if you need to." ”

"If I came again, I would be bankrupt. Meng Zitao waved his hand, turned around and left.

When the stall owner heard this, he was happy: "It's good that you go bankrupt, otherwise how can I get rich? Unfortunately, there are too few such mallets, if there are two or three a month, I will make them." ”

If Meng Zitao knew what the stall owner thought, he would also laugh, some people are like this, they think they have taken advantage, but in fact, they are often the ones who suffer, but as the old saying goes, ignorance is a blessing.

With the harvest just now, Meng Zitao already felt that this trip to the ghost market was worth it, and after harvesting a few more things, he was also satisfied, and was ready to take a look at it casually, if there was anything he liked, he would take it, and if he didn't, he would fill his stomach.

In this ghost market, in addition to porcelain tiles or something, there are also everything, such as a strange stone in front of Meng Zitao, a two-meter square stall with all kinds of stones, large and small, no less than forty or fifty. The largest is about the size of four or five adult fists, and the smaller ones are the thickness of two fingers.

Speaking of which, the form of this strange stone is also rich and colorful, they are born with a variety of forms, coupled with artificial imagination, the interest contained in it is gradually profound.

It's like a meat-shaped stone "Dongpo Meat" on the stall, and its lifelike appearance makes everyone who sees it can't help but admire.
