Chapter 104: Cowpea Red and White Zun

It turned out to be a collector's family. (Jia seems to sigh like this, but he is a little embarrassed.)

At this time, Liu Yufei and Liu Zekun also entered the ceramic science and technology testing center and sat next to Jia Yidao. Jia Rudao's introduction alleviated the embarrassment on the female teacher's face.

Liu Yufei, a living treasure, seemed to be a little aware of the subtle atmosphere between the two, and couldn't help but start talking about his own collection road, so that the atmosphere between the four of them suddenly became a little lively. Especially some trivial and interesting things in the process of collecting, even Liu Zekun, a layman who doesn't know how to collect, is fascinated by it.

Isn't it the historical heritage of some small events in the process and the antique itself?

Looking at Liu Yufei's eloquent appearance, Jia Yidao felt that in his heart, it seemed that a door to the collection was slowly opening, which made people fascinated. Of course, Jia Rudao is not simply thinking about what kind of fine collections he will have in his home, but he just thinks that this process of chasing his favorite antiques should make his future life full of fun. At the very least, it won't be as monotonous as it used to be.

Liu Zekun didn't interject on the side, but the female teacher said a few words, she usually goes to the antique market to shop, and when she meets what she likes, she will make a move. As for people like Liu Yufei who run all over the world for the sake of collecting, they have never experienced it, at most they have been to the antique markets of several nearby cities. In particular, I went to Panjiayuan in Beijing and spent a lot of money. However, in the end, she also sighed, basically there are more times to make eyes, and less time to encounter good things.

And like Liu Yufei, who makes collecting into life, is the envy of female teachers. It's just that she doesn't have that kind of vision and strength. First, she also has to teach, and second, collecting porcelain is just a hobby for her. If she hadn't been nurtured by her family since she was a child, I'm afraid she wouldn't have started collecting this business, right?

Liu Yufei looked at the porcelain he was holding in his hand, and asked: "Since it is something that has just been collected, why don't you open it, let's take a look together and open our eyes?"

"Well, that's exactly how it should be. I smiled when I opened my eyes, but a few Tibetan friends had seen it beforehand, and they all said that the thing was quite right. The governess answered, and carefully opened the old newspaper, revealing the porcelain wrapped in it. Jia Yidao looked at it, and the shape of the vessel was a little like an upside-down bowl, and judging from the color exposed in the cracks of the newspaper, it was slightly dark red.

"This bowl goes up nice. Liu Yufei praised. Even he doesn't know much about porcelain, but he still has to say a few good words, but after saying such a sentence, Liu Yufei's eyes looked at Jia Yidao. Whoever let these people collect jasper, and Liu Zekun can not think about it at all, then only Jia Rudao, a novice, can say a few words about this porcelain.

If not. Everybody took out their stuff. Couldn't say anything. It's really embarrassing.

"This is not a bowl. Correctly say Taibaizun. The female teacher first corrected Liu Yufei's mistake. made Liu Yufei a little uncomfortable for a while. He smiled wryly. Then he was silent. But. The female teacher also seems to know that Liu Yufei's collection preferences are not compatible with porcelain. Then he explained: "But." If you turn it over. The ground is a bit like a bowl. The only difference is. The direction of the ground opening is not the same. If you haven't collected porcelain. Look at it from afar. It's a bit like a bowl on the floor. ”

"Huh. Looking at Liu Yufei's blushing appearance. Jia Rudao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Brother Jia. You're so unkind. "It seems that I am a little mindful of Jia falling into the well. Liu Yufei turned his head to Jia Yidao. Said. "Isn't that wrong? I'm not playing porcelain anyway. I can't tell. Or even wrong. There are also extenuating circumstances. The name of the place in this antique. Everybody knows that. Some things are really complicated. ”

"Don't change concepts here. Complex calls do not mean that the instrument type is complicated. can say that Taibaizun is a big bowl of land. I guess you're alone. Jia Rudao said angrily. Ground is true. There are a lot of things in the antique. It is indeed very cumbersome to call it correctly. It's like a simple monk's hat pot. First of all, it is necessary to add the exact date of manufacture at the top. And then there's where it's made~. Then there are some ornamental categories on the monk's hat pot. The whole chain went down. Isn't that complicated?

Liu Yufei talked to Jia Yidao. He had one thing in his house. It is called the Qing Qianlong jasper embossed beast button flower dark eight treasure pattern monk hat pot ground. The first time Jia Rudao heard that long list of names. I felt that Liu Yufei was a little panting when he said this name.

Of course, at the end of the day, it's a monk's hat pot.

Liu Yufei just said that Taibaizun is a bowl, but it has little to do with the cumbersome name of the Chinese rules in the antiques, and it is completely wrong to make the shape. It's no wonder that Jia Yidao will squeeze him in language. Anyway, the two of them are familiar with each other, and they don't care about making trouble in such small details.

It made the female teacher and Liu Zekun listen to it, and their hearts were happy.

"I'm alone, I'm alone. Liu Yufei said very unashamedly, "As long as everything is next to 'one person', it means that it is rare." In antiques, such things are generally worth a lot of money. …… Still, Jia

Look at what you said is the head, for example, this big mouthβ€”β€”, this piece is too white, you can talk about it?"

This last sentence is the focus of Liu Yufei's words. Fortunately, Liu Yufei wanted to say that it was a big bowl just now, but fortunately, the cliff was immediately changed. When the three people on the side heard this, they looked at Liu Yufei pretending that nothing happened, he didn't seem to be wrong at all, and they could only hold back the smile in their hearts.

"I say it, I say it. Jia Rudao replied, and learned Liu Yufei's tone, and said, "This is too white respect, also known as Taibai altar and chicken cover honor." One of the typical utensils of the official kiln of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, because it imitates the wine jar of the poet and wine fairy Li Taibai, it has the name of Taibaizun. Because it resembles a cover for a round of chickens, it is also known as the "chicken cover". The shape is a small mouth and slightly extravagant, with a short neck, sloping shoulders, a hemispherical abdomen gradually widening, and a shallow circle foot rotated narrow and neat. The abdomen is shallowly carved with a claw pattern. ”

It's over, Jia Rudao glanced at Liu Yufei proudly.

Liu Yufei was so depressed in his heart. However, seeing that Jia Rudao was reasonable, he had nothing to say if he wanted to refute a few words.

"It seems that Xiao Jia's accumulation of knowledge has caught up with the experts a bit. The female teacher praised it, "There were a few collectors who didn't say so much when they were looking at the land. ”

"How can you. I just remember. These words have appeared in Mr. Geng Baochang's "Ming and Qing Porcelain Identification", and I have retold them in my knowledge. "You must know that for a while, Jia Rudao has not been reading much information. Occasionally, I look at things I like, and I write down a lot. Seeing Liu Yufei's provocative eyes here, he said a paragraph and showed off.

Subsequently, Jia seemed to be the master of the female teacher's hand and the ground was too white. Because both of them are also hobbies of porcelain, the process is naturally carried out according to the general handover. The female teacher didn't need Jia Yidao to remind her, so she put Taibai Zun on the seat. When Jia Rudao picked it up, he felt that the weight was more appropriate.

Generally speaking, Taibaizun's mouth is between 2 and 3 centimeters, the height is more than 8 centimeters, and the bottom diameter is about 12 centimeters. Jia Rudao took a cursory look, and the one in front of him, at least in terms of shape, was quite right.

It should be known that because of the technical problems of firing and drawing, this is too white, and the imitation of the shape and specifications of the later generations is not large or small compared with the real product, and most of the ornaments are too stiff. It's still relatively easy to identify.

Look at the color again, it belongs to a typical bean red, and it looks very beautiful, and there is a style at the bottom. took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, and then weighed it in his hand, Jia Rudao couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, he felt that this thing was still quite good, it should be a female teacher who picked up a leak. Envy can't be said for the time being, after all, Jia Rudao has also experienced such a good thing as picking up leaks, and he still received a few good things from Mrs. Hong one after another.

When I first came to Henan at this time, I met a genuine product, even if it was someone else's, it was a good start, right?

However, as soon as Jia Rudao put down his hand too whitely, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hesitated slightly, then picked it up again and looked at it carefully at the edge of his mouth with a magnifying glass. After that, he reached out and touched his pocket, but sighed. Because the tube mirror is not as good as a magnifying glass, for the sake of convenience, Jia Rudao did not carry it with him.

"What's going on, isn't something right?" Xu was slightly disappointed when she saw Jia Nidao's expression, and the female teacher couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Jia Rudao raised his head and asked with a smile: "Eldest sister, did you collect this thing for less money?"

"This,...... It cost a lot of money. The female teacher hesitated and did not say the exact price.

Jia Rudao didn't care. Come to think of it, like a female teacher, who knows a little about porcelain, and can get the ceramic science and technology testing center to identify things, it is worth a little price. Even if it is finally identified as a fraud, it is all imitation of some means. Otherwise, if it is a fake porcelain, who will spend that unjust money to do the inspection and identification?

"Well, eldest sister, you also know just now, I'm a novice collector, if you want to hear my opinion, I think you don't have to do a test. Jia Rudao pondered, thought about the wording, and then said, "To put it simply, this Daqing Kangxi Douhong Taibai Zun, whether it is in terms of shape or bottom style, is still very good." Presumably, the Tibetan friends you mentioned earlier also said the same thing, right?"

"Yes, they say it's a well-proportioned device, with a small mouth and a bit of valgus, and the transition between the shoulders and abdomen is very natural. In addition, the color of the glaze is very pure, the red is uniform and crystalline, and there is a slight green mixed in the middle. Then there is its white and delicate fetal quality, and there is a glutinous rice feeling. It's really gratifying to look at. It seems that listening to Jia Nidao's tone is not bad, the female teacher herself is a little open.

When Jia seemed to hear this, he just smiled faintly and did not answer. When Liu Yufei saw Jia Nidao's smile on the side, he felt that there was a smell that was not right, so he slammed Jia Nidao's shoulder with his hand and asked, "Brother Jia, do you mean to say that this thing is right, and you don't need to spend any more money to identify it?"

"I think that if this thing is not identified, I will always feel a little empty in my heart. Before Jia Rudao could answer, the female teacher answered, "When I was at home, I also used a tube scope to observe, and the bubbles under it were of different sizes. Viewed from the side, there is also a faint milky white halo. This is the characteristic of Kangxi Douhong

It is its underground model, a double-line six-character regular script official model, the marks are very clear and regular, which is the characteristic of the Kangxi model. But ,......"

"However, it is precisely because everything it performs so well that you are a little unsure in your heart, right?" Seeing the female teacher hesitate, Jia Rudao interjected, and shrugged his shoulders after speaking, revealing a wry smile.

Speaking of which, sometimes the instinct of collecting is quite accurate. There are some things, even if they are right, you have already encountered them, but if there is no fate, you will also miss the past. And sometimes, even if you don't know much about anything, when you're lucky, you can pick up the leaks.

There is no shortage of such things in the line of collecting. The difference is that some people can know about it afterwards, and some people don't know it for the rest of their lives.

The governess nodded approvingly.

Jia Rudao was about to express his opinion, but someone came over to disturb him. Because although the four of them sat on the side, such a piece of porcelain was placed and they said so many words in the ceramic science and technology testing center, which would naturally attract the attention of others. Originally, there were a few Tibetan friends who were sitting and waiting for the test, but before they knew it, they gathered on the edge of Jia Rudao. first said hello to the female teacher, and then cautiously looked at this Taibai Zun.

While watching, another middle-aged man said: "This is Kangxi Douhong, there shouldn't be many survivors." However, in recent years, it has appeared frequently in some auctions. If this thing is opened, it will be worth at least tens of thousands of dollars if it is placed on the auction floor, and if it is auctioned well, it is very possible to exceed one million. ”

Yes, you dare to be an expert.

With such a simple sentence, several people immediately looked at this middle-aged man with admiration. Being able to pay attention to the market of the auction and be able to say it casually at least shows that he is also a collector. Everyone introduced each other, this man's surname is Li, and the one who is getting started is surnamed Chen. The two are about the same age.

However, the equipment of the two of them is much more complete than that of Jia Yidao. While the man surnamed Li was talking, the man surnamed Chen Di took out the tube mirror and checked the glaze color on the surface of the porcelain. With that focused look, even the polite words between the female teacher and the man surnamed Li, the voice was much softer.

"Haodong, that's a good thing. It took a few minutes for the man surnamed Chen to sigh after reading the appointment, put away the tools, and put Taibai Respect on the new side, and then motioned for the man surnamed Li to take a look as well, and then turned to look at Jia Rudao and the others. After knowing that it was a female teacher, she still sighed: "My eyesight is good." ”

"Hehe, just luck. The female teacher politely said, "I think Brother Chen is also a collector, so he should be here to do an appraisal at this time, right?"

"Where, I came with a friend. The man surnamed Chen said, gesturing to one of the people in the queue. Jia Yidao looked at it slightly, and there were still many people in the team over there.

Moreover, in the hall of this ceramic science and technology testing center, in fact, the furnishings are still relatively simple. If it weren't for the female teacher, I'm afraid Jia Yidao would suddenly become interested this time, and if he wanted to come here to take a look, maybe he really just glanced at it, and there was no other fun.

"Since Brother Chen has also seen this thing, why don't you tell my little sister about it?" said the female teacher, "We were communicating just now." These are small, but they persuade me not to do the appraisal. ”

When the man surnamed Chen heard this, he glanced at Jia Yidao in some surprise. Jia Rudao smiled a little wryly. Vaguely, I felt the other party's eyes, and there was no contempt, on the contrary, there was some praise. This made Jia Yidao's heart move, could it be that the man surnamed Chen in front of him also saw that something was wrong?

"Then I'll tell you what I think. This bean red glaze is a color variety innovated by the imperial kiln factory in the Kangxi period, named because its color is like the color of ripe beans, and it is the best work in the porcelain works in the Kangxi period. When the man surnamed Chen said this, his words changed, "However, the firing process of this bean red is very complicated, and it is difficult to make it if you don't master certain skills." Its soft hue is due to the intricate distribution of copper colloids in the glaze, and if the oxidation flame exceeds the required amount during firing, green spots will appear. Now, that's it. ……”

As he spoke, the man surnamed Chen also pointed to the Taibai Zun in the hand of the man surnamed Li, and gestured to some green spots on it.

For a while, even Jia Nidao had gained a lot of knowledge.

Therefore, this technology is difficult to master, which also causes Douhong to have no large utensils, the highest is only about 20 centimeters, and the type of utensils is less than a dozen, most of which are study utensils, such as printing boxes, pen washes, etc. The man surnamed Chen said, "Your piece is too white, the color is pure, and a little green moss is mixed in the middle, these characteristics are very right." It's just ,......"

"Just what?" Brother Chen said. The female teacher knew that the man surnamed Chen was not easy to speak, so she said it first, so as to teach the other party to rest assured. After all, collecting a line, even if you ask someone to look at it, even if something is wrong, people won't say it directly, but they don't understand it or something. Otherwise, when Jia Rudao saw the problem just now, I'm afraid he would have said it straight to the point, right?
