Chapter 567: Purple Clay Pot (15/62)
Meng Zitao asked, "Why don't you come back?"
Xu Xingzhi sighed: "Hey, the reason why he transferred this Sanyang Zun is actually to go abroad, and now he has emigrated abroad, so why should he get it!"
Thinking of the losses he suffered, Xu Xingzhi wanted to cry without tears, how many things did he have to sell to earn back the money!
Dong Jichang patted Xu Xingzhi on the shoulder and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, look away, Sai Weng will not know if he is blessed." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xu Xingzhi said bitterly: "It's more than a million, how can you tell me to see it?"
Dong Jichang heard the price Xu Xingzhi said, his expression was a little strange, but thinking that in terms of market conditions, the price he had just discussed with Xu Xingzhi did not suffer, he was relieved, he couldn't let Xu Xingzhi give things to himself at the price of leakage, and now there was such an accident.
Meng Zitao was somewhat embarrassed, after all, the current antique market is very non-standardized, and goods of unknown origin are popular, if it weren't for him today, this kind of thing would not have happened. Maybe when the problem is discovered in the future, things have already changed hands many times, and Xu Xingzhi will definitely not suffer such a loss.
Therefore, Meng Zitao secretly decided to compensate Xu Xingzhi no matter what.
Xu Xingzhi was depressed for a while, and asked Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, how are you going to solve this matter?"
Meng Zitao said: "Is it okay for me to take a few photos?"
"No problem, but it's okay for you to take the things directly, just write me a note. ”
Since the matter has come to this point, Xu Xingzhi feels that his attitude should be better, and if the police want to investigate himself inside and out on a whim, then he can also find Meng Zitao to intercede, otherwise he will lose to his grandmother's house.
"That couldn't be better. So, Meng Zitao smiled and wrote a receipt to Xu Xingzhi: "By the way, I don't know if the shopkeeper Xu knows who organized the exchange meeting?"
"I really don't know about it, but I can ask you about another friend, who might know. ”
After speaking, Xu Xingzhi called his friend, and after asking, he said to Meng Zitao: "My friend said that it was organized by a boss nicknamed 'Fat Toutuo'. ”
"Fat Head?"
"It is said that it looks like the fat head in the Xiangjiang version of Lu Ding Ji in the last century, so it is nicknamed. ”
Meng Zitao smiled, since this must be easier to find, so he expressed his gratitude again.
When the guy was packing the Sanyang Zun, Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, I won't tell you, I prefer literary play, I don't know if you have any such boutiques here?"
This is the compensation method that Meng Zitao thought of, and after a long time, it will not be able to make up for Xu Xingzhi's loss.
Xu Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "I really don't have many outstanding cultural collections, I don't know if the purple clay pot is okay?"
Meng Zitao asked, "Who is the author?"
Xu Xingzhi replied: "Chen Hezhi in the late Ming Dynasty. ”
Chen Hezhi, a master of pot-making pottery during the Ming Dynasty Apocalypse and Chongzhen. According to Ming Zhou Gaoqi's "Yangxian Tea Pot Series: Other Schools": "Chen Hezhi, good at imitating Youquan, Jun Yong, Apocalypse, Chongzhen people. It can be known that his people are good at imitating Xu Youquan and Shen Jun, and the pot style is ancient and pure, and the calligraphy has the style of the Jin and Tang Dynasties.
The purple sand ware of the Ming Dynasty has been handed down to this day, which is extremely rare. Most of them are collected and researched by museums. Looking at the purple sand ware of the Ming Dynasty in the collections of major museums in China, there are about 50 pieces in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing. So far, there may not be a single piece of purple clay pot made by Chen Hezhi in various museums in China. It can be seen that his works are precious.
Therefore, Meng Zitao was very pleased, and hurriedly asked Xu Xingzhi to take the purple clay pot.
The Ming people's tea drinking habits changed from boiling brick tea to brewing loose tea, so the teapot began to rise, and the purple sand mud was an excellent raw material for the teapot because of its natural air permeability, which was created from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The purple clay pot that Xu Xingzhi took is a typical style of the Ming Dynasty, with a round belly, full shoulders, and a gradual collection below the abdomen, a short bend, the shoulder is out of the handle of the beam, the round lid is fitted, the button is bead-shaped, the mud color is purple, simple and rich, the overall shape is harmonious and full, the body of the pot and the handle are virtual and real, simple and elegant. The regular script at the bottom is "Chen Hezhi", the font is regular and steady, and the pen is clear and powerful.
The heirlooms of the Ming Dynasty purple clay pot are scarce, combined with the analysis of the unearthed cultural relics of the tomb and cellar since the 60s of the last century, the Ming Dynasty purple sand pot can be roughly divided into three categories.
The second category is the work of celebrities, the more fine purple clay pots, which are mostly used by dignitaries or literati and ink writers; the third type is made of purple sand and mud, and the appearance is glazed or lacquered, and this kind of works are mostly hidden in the Palace Museum, and are rarely seen in the outside world. Chen He's purple clay pot should belong to the second category and be the work of celebrities in the Ming Dynasty.
This Chen Hezhi purple clay pot has a beautiful form, a very rigorous production process, and the lid and mouth are seamed, which is both tight and through. The structure of the whole pot body is coordinated, and the lines of the body are smooth. Because this pot is made of exquisite materials, purple sand mud, there are small sand grains, after a long time of playing, the luster of the surface of the vessel changes unconsciously, and there is an old color that is the phenomenon of pulp, which is more elegant.
The bottom center is engraved with the name of "Chen Hezhi" three characters, the structure is comfortable, the shape of the pen is lawful, mellow and vigorous, unrestrained, with the legacy of the Jin and Tang Dynasties.
Nowadays, among the records that Meng Zitao has seen, there is only one purple sand pot of Chen He's style that has been circulated in an orderly manner, and this purple sand pot can be corroborated with the purple sand pot in the record from all aspects, and it should be a genuine product, which can be met but not sought.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Xu actually has Chen Hezhi's purple clay pot here, which is really rare." ”
When Xu Xingzhi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, I wasn't sure that this was a genuine product before, but I was relieved to hear you say this." ”
Meng Zitao laughed: "Then you have to give me the appraisal fee." ”
"Well said, well said. Xu Xingzhi said with a smile: "In addition, don't worry, there should be no problem with the origin of this purple clay pot." ”
Meng Zitao nodded with a smile and stood up: "Shopkeeper Xu, please give me a price." ”
"Yes. ”
The two walked aside, Xu Xingzhi offered 800,000 yuan, Meng Zitao pondered for a while, and he didn't expect to make a counteroffer and agreed: "Okay, that's the price." ”
Although the price he offered was not expensive, Xu Xingzhi didn't expect Meng Zitao to agree without even paying back the price, and he also understood that this was Meng Zitao's apology for what happened just now, and he was very moved.
The two of them went directly to pay the money by swiping the card, and exchanged business cards, Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xu, if you get the baby in the future, you can contact me, the price is negotiable." ”
"That's for sure. Xu Xingzhi laughed, and sighed in his heart: "As the old saying goes, if you lose your horse, you know that it is not a blessing, and the ancients will not deceive me!"
After eating at noon, Meng Zitao said goodbye to Xu Xingzhi and Dong Jichang. Considering that today due to Dong Jichang's invitation, he not only picked up the leak but also got a purple clay pot from Chen Zhizhi, but Dong Jichang returned empty-handed, which made Meng Zitao very embarrassed, so he told Dong Jichang to go back and transfer him a piece of fine porcelain.
Meng Zitao rang the doorbell of the master's house, and after a while, Zheng Chenghan came to open the door.
"Senior brother, are you resting today?" Meng Zitao was a little curious, although today is Saturday, but his senior brother has no concept of resting, even if he wants to rest, it is basically arranged on Sunday, if he rests on Saturday, it is similar to the sun coming out in the west.
"Isn't this your master going back to Ling City in a few days, I thought that the old man would accompany him much more when he was older, so I took a long vacation, and I can count my children's filial piety." ”
Since receiving Meng Zitao's treatment, Zheng Chenghan found that his body was getting better and better, so to speak, compared with before, it was completely a heaven and an underground, which made him happy at the same time, but also with more emotion in his heart, thinking that his father was also old, and he couldn't accompany him for a few days a year, so he simply took annual leave.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Presumably when I learned of your decision, the master and his old man should be very happy." (To be continued.) )
