Chapter 352: True and False (Supplement February)
Looking at the jade pot spring bottle in his hand, in terms of visual effects, there is a feeling that makes people shine. In terms of height, it is still quite impressive, about 20 centimeters, and the edge of the bottle mouth is a little outward. The slender neck, with slippery shoulders, a slightly sagging abdomen, a circle foot, that is, the bottom part of the foot is relatively wide, and the bottom part is white glaze, without any style on it.
In addition, the edge of the mouth, the place where it is skimmed, is painted with a circle of curly branches. The upper part of the neck is also painted with six thin banana leaves. In the lower part, there are decorative bands with back lines and water lines, and the belly is painted with mountain chrysanthemums with entwined branches, the flowers show an oval shape, and the flowers and leaves are lush and full. At the very bottom, on the edge of the hoop foot, there are also some curly leaf trims.
Such a jade pot spring vase, judging from various performances, should belong to the style of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. If it's right, it's expensive!
In Jia Rudao's mind, information about the jade pot spring bottle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty involuntarily appeared.
The real Jingdezhen official kiln jade pot spring bottle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, its shape is actually as beautiful as its name, in the words of the book, that is, the shape is solid and heavy, and it does not lose its spirit. The styling curve is smooth and natural from mouth to bottom, and it is completely in one go.
The skimming, thin neck, and hanging abdomen of the jade pot spring vase are all completed at the moment of hand-drawn breakage, relying on the feeling of the craftsman, and the undried mud tire is broken and formed on the fast-rotating potter's wheel, which completely relies on the exquisite skills of the craftsman. And the finished product is much the same. As far as the jade pot spring vase is concerned, some are taller, some are shorter, some are fatter, and some are thin, but the overall shape is the same, belonging to the same model, the same style, and there is not much difference.
This is the shape and style of the times.
It is precisely because of this that Jia Rudao looked at the jade pot spring vase in front of him, and judged from the shape that it should belong to the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. Of course, this is only a preliminary judgment, whether it is porcelain of that period or not, which needs to be carefully examined.
However, in the porcelain line, it is still very difficult to truly identify some high-quality imitation works, with Jia Yidao's current eyesight. Could it be that you can use your own ability perception to try it? When this idea suddenly flashed in Jia Yidao's mind, he was startled by his own whimsy.
However, since they have already thought of it, and now, this jade pot spring vase is in their hands again, so what harm is it to try it with the perception of the ability? At least, Jia Rudao also used the ability to perceive and deliberately feel a lot of porcelain.
Whether it's the broken porcelain pieces that have been collected, or the modern porcelain bowls at home, there are them.
It's just the result of the perception of the ability, which makes Jia Yidao a little unable to laugh.
Even so, Jia Rudao has also summed up. For example, different eras, especially those that are far apart, such as the broken porcelain pieces of the Han Dynasty and the broken porcelain pieces of the Ming and Qing dynasties, under the detection of abnormal perception, the feelings shown are definitely completely different texture feelings.
As for the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty in front of him, Jia Rudao is not very sure. Fortunately, after the detection of the ability perception, Jia Yidao had a little familiar look at the feeling that suddenly appeared in his mind!
Could it be that he had also explored porcelain in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties before?
Jia Rudao couldn't remember when he had collected porcelain from the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Or, in the pile of broken porcelain pieces, there are porcelain fragments of such an age. It's just that when Jia Yidao's ability perception gradually penetrated into the inside of the whole porcelain, a few cracks suddenly appeared, but he was really shocked!
It turned out to be patched.
Jia Rudao couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart. Almost even the expression on his face began to turn a little pale. An irrepressible thought came to mind: the white jade pendant is undoubtedly of inferior quality, so what about the jade pot spring bottle in front of you? So, is the whole process of the incident a designed trap?
Jia Rudao subconsciously glanced at the man surnamed Hu, as well as his wife, and then at Zhang San and Li Gou, as well as Xiaoma and Ah San. The people in front of them were sitting on one side of the room at this time, talking, and sometimes they would glance their eyes at the table on this side. And Pony and Ah San, naturally at this time, are still checking the things in their hands.
Judging from the current scene, Jia Rudao didn't think that the man surnamed Hu would deliberately design a trap and wait for him and Ah San to jump down. However, it is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, who can guarantee that the performance of the man surnamed Hu and others at this time is not deliberately contrived?
Jia Rudao sighed, withdrew his distracted attention, and continued to probe on the jade pot spring bottle in his hand. Then, the interior of the entire jade pot spring bottle came to mind. By some subtle cracks, the whole bottle was split into seven pieces, of different sizes. It's just that the repair technique is very good, and from the surface, you can't see it at all, and there are traces of chipping.
A more important piece of information, that is, these small pieces of fragments, in the perception of texture, are relatively similar, it can be said that Jia Yidao can not distinguish any major difference in terms of the sensitivity of the fetal quality of porcelain. In this way, it undoubtedly shows that this jade pot spring vase, whether it is old or new, is a complete whole, and after it is broken, it will be repaired, that is for sure.
If it is a new porcelain, then it is repaired, and it is naturally worthless. But if it is an official kiln jade pot spring bottle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is broken and repaired, it is really rare to be able to repair it to such a complete extent. As long as the price is right, Jia Rudao pondered that he could also take down this jade pot spring bottle!
"By the way, Brother Hu, how did these things come about?" When Jia Rudao turned his head, he saw that the man surnamed Hu had just come over, so he asked casually. I didn't expect the man surnamed Hu to answer honestly, but what I didn't expect was that the other party gave an answer quickly.
"Dig it out. After speaking, I didn't see any excited expression from the man surnamed Hu. It's as if his face will always have this expression. Only when he saw Ah San and Jia Yidao, looked at the things in his hand again and again, eliminated the ** he wanted to buy, and put the things back on the table, the face of the man surnamed Hu showed a little unhappy!
"Dig it out?" Jia Rudao naturally knew that these things in front of him were all dug up. However, where it was dug up and how long it took to dig it out is exactly what Jia Rudao wants to know. I can't say, after having this information, Jia Yidao can judge the authenticity of these things in front of him.
"yes. The man surnamed Hu was a little angry, and said, "I dug it out in my backyard." I said, you've been looking at it for so long, have you decided to buy it?......"
"Brother, brother, don't worry. Li Gou on the side, Xu is closer to Zhang San, has seen some of the world, and persuaded, "The more carefully they look at it, it means that the higher the value of these things." You think, when you usually buy something, if it's tens of thousands, wouldn't it be better to look more carefully?"
"That's right. The man surnamed Hu pondered, nodded, turned to Jia Rudao and the three of them, and said, "Then you should take your time and look carefully." However, when negotiating the price, don't bully me into being an honest person, when the time comes, it will be a fixed price, and there is no room for special bargaining...... You can also rest assured, I will never offer too high a price, just ask for a price when he comes over. ”
When Jia Rudao heard this, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, and he didn't argue much. The so-called too many words must be lost, from these few words, Jia Rudao finally knew that Zhang San did want to accept these things by himself, but because of the price problem, or the problem of funds, he did not succeed!
As for the offer of the man surnamed Hu, Jia Rudao glanced at Li Gou on the side with great meaning. Perhaps, up to now, among these people, the most inscrutable is him, right? In addition, when the man surnamed Hu said that he was going to make an offer, he subconsciously glanced at Li Gou.
This made Jia Yidao speculate that these things were not made by Li Gou and the man surnamed Hu together? Or was it because the man surnamed Hu trusted Li Gou and thought that Li Gou was more knowledgeable, and from his mouth, he had already initially understood the true value of these things! Of course, this so-called "real" value was given by Li Gou's ability to identify. At that time, what kind of price will it be, we still need to wait until Jia Yidao and A San and a few people finally decide, whether they want to accept things, and then they can ask.
Otherwise, if you don't have the slightest intention to buy, just ask the price casually, and the other party agrees, and when the time comes, even if you don't buy it, it won't be done.
However, among all the words said by the man surnamed Hu, the most surprising thing for Jia Yidao was that the man surnamed Hu was blunt and said that these things were dug up in his backyard. This made Jia Yidao very curious, and couldn't help but ask: "Since it was dug up in his backyard, can you take us to that place to have a look?"
I'm afraid it's not just Jia Yidao, but also Ah San, Xiaoma, and even Zhang San and others, who are also quite moved, right?
"What about these things?" The man surnamed Hu didn't think it was okay to take a few people to his backyard to take a look. Instead, he pointed to these few things on the table, and asked Jia Yidao if they didn't want it. If at this time, Jia seems to say, these things are gone, I can't say it, the man surnamed Hu will not take everyone to the backyard.
"How about talking about these things when we come back?" Ah San interjected. "Only by looking at the places where they were dug up can we be more prepared to estimate the authenticity of these things, as well as the price. ”
"Oh well. The man surnamed Hu nodded. Then, let my wife open the back door, but as for the light, it was because it was in the backyard, and it was in a small village, and at night, I could hardly think about it. Jia seems to be a few people, and it is not easy to force it. Moreover, the man surnamed Hu also said, "When you go out later, everyone should be quiet and don't make too much noise." ”
"Hmm. Jia Rudao nodded first. If the movement is too big, don't say that the man surnamed Hu is unhappy, even Jia Rudao and a few people will also feel a little troublesome. So, like rain running through, a group of people came to the backyard through the back door of the house. Although everyone's faces were filled with curiosity, they behaved like a family. Jia Rudao These outsiders all came to visit relatives, and said something inconsequential, similar to saying hello.
In this way, even if some villagers passing by hear some words, it will not be in the way!
"It seems that you have experience. Needless to say, this is what Ah San reminded everyone when he was about to go out, and everyone can understand it! Especially the man surnamed Hu, who deliberately showed a grateful look for this. Subsequently, he even asked his mother-in-law to pour a few glasses of boiling water.
For a while, the backyard of his house was lively.
If it is really like what the man surnamed Hu himself said, in the backyard, sneaky, and dare not make a sound at all, it is easy to attract the attention of others.
Jia Rudao looked at the environment in the backyard, and at first glance, it seemed a little bleak. It's like this place, although it belongs to the backyard, but it's just a little bit of a side with the so-called "courtyard", and the surrounding walls are not very high, and they are a little dilapidated.
However, it is almost October at this time, and some green weeds can still drill out of the cracks in the corners of the wall, showing some breath of life.
In addition, some of the crops that the man surnamed Hu planted in his backyard also have a bit of greenery.
Jia Rudao's gaze circled around the entire backyard, and finally, landed on a corner of the wall. Except for the place where the crops are planted and the land has been renovated, there are still traces of the land in the entire yard. However, at this moment, in that place, an elm tree has grown, and its branches are relatively thick. In other words, the October season is not suitable for tree transplantation. When he suddenly saw this elm tree, Jia Yidao's heart was a little sure that the place where the man surnamed Hu said should be this place.
However, although the man surnamed Hu is a middle-aged man who looks more honest, his heart and eyes are also relatively lively. The transplanted elm tree is obviously a certain number of years, and it is only a wooden stake, so casually oblique, planted in the corner of the wall. If you just look at the roots of the elm tree, the appearance of the intertwined roots, it really has a bit of an artistic feeling.
Jia Rudao sighed in his heart, it was a pity not to send it to be made into a root carving.
"That's the place, isn't it?" said Pony, gesturing to the place where the roots of the old elm tree were growing, "It's a good place." "Right next to the elm tree, there are some broken bricks and so on. It seems that even after the cover of the man surnamed Hu, the existence of this place is still different from some corners on the side.
"At that time, what kind of scene was it when I was digging?" In fact, Jia Rudao wanted to ask if there was anything special during the excavation process. However, after thinking about it, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and swallowed this question.
After all, judging from the personality of the man surnamed Hu, after the existence of antiques, he will definitely dig up that piece of place and take a closer look. For a while, in Jia Yidao's mind, a picture of a man surnamed Hu holding a hoe alone and digging in the corner of the backyard flashed in Jia Rudao's mind!
I can't say, many people present at this time have such a picture in their minds. Moreover, Jia seems to be sure that in everyone's hearts, they will still be wantonly reverie at this time, why didn't such an opportunity fall on themselves?
Dig up the treasures of the ancients with your own hands and experience such a unique style in person, not everyone can encounter it!
"There's nothing special about it. The man surnamed Hu recalled and said, "A while ago, I just wanted to plant something here, so I took a hoe and dug it. As a result, a clay pot was dug up. Under the cover of the clay pot, there is the porcelain jar, as for the jade pendant, it is contained in the porcelain jar, and the beautiful bottle, which is also under the cover of the clay pot, is placed separately. In addition, I dug for a long time, and the area was very large, and I dug up a lump of iron. For the rest, there's nothing special. ”
"In other words, that bottle, clay pot, etc., are all tightly combined with the soil?" Jia asked Yidao.
"That's right, when I first dug it up, it was all mud. The man surnamed Hu said, "I also asked my mother-in-law to wash it carefully." ”
"Hmm. Jia Rudao nodded. Naturally, he could see that these things had been washed. However, from the words of the man surnamed Hu, Jia Rudao also got the information he wanted to know. I casually walked to the edge of the elm tree, squatted down, and gently twisted the soil of this place with my hands, feeling the humidity here.
Ah San asked: "Brother Hu, how long have you lived in this place?
"My grandfather's generation started living here. The man surnamed Hu said very simply, with his grandfather's age, if he is still alive, it is estimated that he is about 100 years old, right? In other words, the words of the man surnamed Hu are all the truth, then their family, living in this house, at least, should be traced back to before liberation. "As for this corner, it used to be used for worshipping incense. So, I didn't think much about turning over the soil or anything. ”
"Worship incense?" Jia Yidao looked at the place carefully, and it was really a little similar. In the corner of the wall, there is also some smoky effect, in terms of time, it should be relatively old. At this point, it doesn't feel like it's old. Moreover, in Jia Rudao's heart, it can already be determined that those things on the table were dug out of the backyard, and they should not be wrong.
This so-called "worship incense" is also a local dialect on the Linhai side. Jia Yidao still remembers that in his hometown, once something is approaching, such as Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming, or the winter solstice, Chinese New Year's Eve and other seasons, the family will make some delicious food, please the God of Wealth, please the land lord and so on!
At this time, in addition to setting up a table at home, you will also need to make a small place at the door to light incense candles and other things, and burn some "gold ingots" and "gold bars" folded with yellow paper. In some rural areas, the inheritance of such customs is particularly important.
This place of "worshipping incense" even needs to pick a better direction, and you have to choose it deliberately.
Of course, the backyard of this man surnamed Hu's house is said to be a backyard, but in fact, there is still a gate, but there is not much difference between that place, closed or not. This place of "worshipping incense" is just next to the gate, not far away, and it is a more suitable place.
Everyone casually stayed in the backyard for a while. Jia Rudao and Ah San got together again and discussed in a whisper.
"I don't know, have you carefully looked at the jade pot spring vase, the style or something, it's not a big problem. Jia Rudao said, "However, I suspect that it is more likely that that thing is an imitation." Looking at it, I always feel that something is not right. At first, I thought it was because my eyesight was not at home. Later, I felt that maybe it was because it was repaired, or it was deliberately imitated by craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. In short, the technology is very high. If the price is right, you can get it. ”
"Old imitation?" Ah San glanced at Jia Yi with some surprise, the gap between this "old imitation" and "imitation" is very huge, obviously, Ah San didn't think of going to this place, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that there is such a problem with that jade pendant?"
"Bai Yu Pei?" Jia Yidao smiled and said, "Hehe, when did you study the Yu Pei." That thing, in texture, isn't bad! I'm not very interested in it. On the contrary, it is this jade pot spring bottle, if you think it is inappropriate, you can let me collect it. However, I can tell you in advance, if the other party's asking price is too high, I will not be a mallet. ”
