Su Yuan was silent, understanding the other party's worries, looking at the more than twenty pieces of Yuan Qinghua, he could only secretly make up his mind, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to win them all.

took out two pieces of blue and white from the box, a large plate, and a square bottle, all of which were high-quality products that had been opened up by skills, which made Ge Shiqiao palm.

"It's ......"

Ge Shiqiao hurriedly took out a magnifying glass, studied it carefully, smiled for a long time, and exclaimed: "Whether it is glaze or shape, it is a masterpiece of one in a hundred, it is definitely an official kiln in the early Yuan Dynasty, and this kind of sky blue can only be achieved by the extinct Su Ma Liqing!"

Su Yuan smiled and said nothing, even the owner of the Tianmin Mansion who had studied for decades couldn't see any flaws, and he was really good.

Ge Shiqiao was reluctant to put down the big plate, looked at Su Yuan, and said with satisfaction: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, no wonder even Geng Lao is full of praise for you, not only the porcelain-making skills, but also the collection is impressive." ”

Ge Shiqiao finally understood why Geng Baochang would strongly recommend Su Yuan, the youngest master craftsman in history, who lived up to his reputation.

Suddenly remembered something, and invited: "Recently, I am going to go to the David Foundation in London, I used to go every year, but now that I am old, I go once less, do you have time?"

Su Yuan smiled and nodded, it is best to have Ge Shiqiao to guide the way, he has long been obsessed with Da Weide, and it is just right to open his eyes together.

The old man was very happy, stayed at Su Yuan for dinner at home, made an appointment to leave the day after tomorrow, flew directly to London, and chatted until late at night before leaving.

Back at the hotel, Su Yuan took a shower and lay comfortably on the bed. Linglong porcelain and Mei Ziqing have made a name for themselves in the island country, and with the operation of Longquantang, they take the high-end route and do not worry about sales.

As for the Yuan blue and white flowers, they are even more rare treasures, each of which is worth a fortune, especially Su Ma Liqing, which has been extinct for hundreds of years. That mysterious sky blue, you can't imitate it.

In the late Yuan Dynasty, it could only be replaced by the domestic Huiqing, the glaze was turbid, and the hair color was not clear, so it left a treasure through the ages.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a clear and innocent one, Su Yuan would not have been able to imitate even Ge Shiqiao's eye-catching boutique, because the sky blue was unique, so basically no one in the past dynasties could imitate the Yuan blue and white highly, and the number became more and more rare.

Speaking of the David Foundation, which was unknown to many people at least ten years ago, is now almost as well known in China as the British Museum.

In fact, it is a miniature private museum in London, which contains 1,700 pieces of porcelain artwork, many of which belong to the Forbidden City's scattered cultural relics, and there is no shortage of world-recognized treasures.

The collection is the personal collection of the British scholar Sir David David, who loved Chinese art during his lifetime. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the dynasties spanned nearly 1,000 years.

For example, there are only about 70 pieces of Ru kiln, the king of porcelain, in the world, of which only the Taipei National Palace, the Beijing National Palace, the Shanghai Museum and the Daweide Foundation have systematic collections.

The David vase, the world's earliest known blue-and-white porcelain object with an exact date, is regarded as the standard for the study of blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty, and has also been selected by the BBC and the British Museum as one of the 100 objects representing world history.

Su Yuan had long wanted to go and see it, and there was just the opportunity, how could he miss it?

At the appointed time, fly directly to London and come to the David Foundation. Because Ge Shiqiao is an old friend, he comes to visit and exchange every year, so he is familiar with the road and finally sees the top porcelain collection in Europe.

The two of them watched as they walked, Su Yuan leisurely absorbed all kinds of information, and his sharp eyes were already familiar. Ge Shiqiao came to a display case and said: "Although Sir David enjoyed a certain reputation in the London collecting world at that time, there was still a big gap compared with the first-class British ceramic collectors of the same period. ”

"In 1921, more than a dozen top collectors formed the Oriental Ceramic Art Association, and David wanted to join but was not accepted. In terms of the content of the collection, the collection of this period is too large and complex, and it has not formed its own style, which is no different from the average collector in Britain. ”

He was no longer satisfied with buying antiques from antique dealers in his homeland, as most collectors do, and decided to go to the mainland to investigate and study ancient ceramics. After David came to the mainland in 1924, he established contact with the newly established Palace Museum. ”

At that time, the porcelain of the Palace Museum was displayed in Jingyang Palace, which was also open to the public for the first time. David was deeply moved by the porcelain of the royal official kiln, and truly experienced the taste and style of the royal porcelain collection of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. ”

Later, when the opportunity came, in 1927 the Salt Industry Bank prepared to sell the treasures of the Qing Dynasty that Pu Yi had mortgaged there. At that time, these cultural relics were used as collateral for the Qing royal family in the Salt Industry Bank, and they were unable to redeem them after their expiration date. ”

After seeing these fine cultural relics from the old collection of the Qing Palace, David decided to take this risk against all odds. Negotiations with the Salt Industry Bank lasted for more than a year, and through several twists and turns, an agreement was reached to purchase more than 40 of the fine works from the Qing Palace's old collection. ”

The year after the collection was transferred back to London, David finally gained the recognition of his peers and was allowed to become a member of the Oriental Ceramics Association, which represented the highest level of ceramic collection and research at that time, and also entered the core group of British antiquities collection, the Dragon Society. ”

After a trip, the harvest is not small, and Su Yuan has a deep understanding of porcelain after this period of brush experience.

In his eyes, porcelain is no longer a cold thing, but a living life, with an independent appearance, a completely different figure, and even a maverick soul.

Finally, come to the corner, this showroom is square, there are only two doors in the northeast corner and southeast corner, and there are two pieces of porcelain like a door god, one by the door.

Yuan to Zheng eleventh year blue and white cloud dragon pattern elephant ear bottle,

peerless and unique,

This is the only pair!

Su Yuan's eyes focused on an inscription on the mouth of the bottle: Zhang Wenjin, a disciple of the Jingtang Society in Shuncheng Township, Yushan County, Xinzhou Road, prayed for the safety of the children of the Qingji family. To the eleventh year of April Liangchen remembered. Xingyuan Ancestral Palace, Hu Jing, a handsome man.

Ge Shiqiao said with a smile: "It is because of this inscription that this pair of bottles has become the earliest standard of blue and white porcelain, and before studying this pair of vases, it is believed that the blue and white porcelain was created and burned in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, not the Yuan Dynasty." It is the study of this large bottle that makes it clear that blue and white porcelain was created in the Yuan Dynasty. ”

Su Yuan's eyes flashed with various information, the ornamentation was rich, and the bottle body was divided into nine parallel ribbon-like areas, and a total of eight patterns with different themes were drawn in each area using the technique of underglaze blue and white.

Entwined branch chrysanthemum, banana leaves, flying phoenix Ganoderma lucidum, entwined branch lotus, four-clawed cloud dragon, sea waves, entwined branch peony, covered lotus miscellaneous treasures, can be called the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain pattern collection.

"Then there is the Ru kiln azure glaze carved double fish pattern oval wash, famous for the swimming fish pattern on the insoles. Generally speaking, Ru kilns are plain ware and do not have ornamentation. This is mainly because the glaze is thick, and the tire is not easy to carve. ”

But this fish is vague, so that the records of the court in the Qianlong period say that it is a Ruyi dark pattern. This kind of Ru kiln washing, now there are only two pieces in the world, and the other is in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. ”

"There is also this deep-bellied blue-glazed six-edged six-legged wash, which is extremely rare in the world, and its straight mouth and folded belly shape are obviously not inherent in porcelain, but are probably imitated from metal vessels. ”

"The purpose is unknown, it may be used as a pot holder for some kind of official kiln hexagonal flower pot in the palace, or it may not be matched with the flower pot, but directly used to plant bulbs such as narcissus......"

Just when the two were studying and communicating, suddenly a voice came from behind him, and Ge Shiqiao turned his head, his brows furrowed.
