Chapter 48: Cloisonné

Chapter 48 cloisonné

"Yo, Mr. Tang.

"Uncle, you're welcome. Tang Feng took out a big harvest and held it in his hand, he said, "Let's get down to business, what do you need to see?"

The old man said, "It's a copper jar that doesn't slip away." ”

Tang Feng's first feeling was cloisonné, and he asked, "Where did you get it?"

"Yo, there's no fire, right?" Lao stretched out his big hand like an old pine skin and handed the lighter that was on fire to Tang Feng, which had no way to refuse, Tang Feng put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a lot of effort. The old man said, "I collected it when I collected it."

"Ahem, cough, cough!" I don't know if the old man's words are too thunderous, or the inferior cigarettes are too choking, Tang Feng coughed so much that he almost didn't get his breath, and collected a cloisonné from scrap products, how fresh is it? No matter what, everyone came to the door, and Tang Feng had to see what was going on, so he asked the old man, "Did you bring something?"

The old man said, "It's in my car, yo, my car is not locked, let's go outside and take a look." ”

Tang Feng said: "Side." Or. You bring it in?"

The old man immediately shook his head and said, "The black dog skin should come in a while." The car can't be taken out after it is collected. "Alas. You say that this common man is not harmed by his words. People are chengguan. It is a civil servant. How can you compare them to dogs?

Tang Feng nodded when he heard this, "Okay." Look at it. ”

Tang Feng had just arrived at the door. I ran into Lin Muyu who came back from outside. She asked Tang Feng, "Tang Feng." You're going out?"

"I'm right at the door. Tang Feng said hello to Lin Muyu. Follow the old man out of the store. The tricycle has a bulging snakeskin pocket. The old man took out a colorful eight-petal melon jar from his snakeskin pocket. The melon jar is easy to identify. It looks like a big round pumpkin. Tang Feng took this melon jar and pressed his hand. A bit of weight. Tang Feng guessed right. This is a cloisonné. Cloisonné is also known as "copper tire filigree: lang". It is a kind of Lang ware, and it is said: Many people do not understand Lang ware. In fact, it was very common in daily life in the early years. The production process of enamel basins and enamel bowls is similar to that of enamelware.

Cloisonné is made with bronze and porcelain craftsmanship, as well as traditional hand-painting and carving techniques. It is a unique metal handicraft combining porcelain and copper. It can be called a unique traditional Chinese craft. To make cloisonné, you first need to use copper to make a tire and then paint on it, and then use copper wire to glue the corresponding pattern on the copper tire according to the painted ground pattern. The silver solder powder is roasted in a high-temperature furnace at 900 degrees Celsius. Let the copper wire pattern be firmly welded to the copper tire. This process is called filigree.

After the filigree is completed, there is a decorative frame composed of copper wire on the copper tire, and then the enamel material is added to the frame and fired in the furnace, and so on repeatedly, until the material filled in is parallel to the cloisonné pattern, so the enamel of cloisonné is generally very thick. After repeated polishing and repeated sintering and polishing, it is considered a finished cloisonne, and a good cloisonne must be gilded in the end.

The manufacturing history of cloisonne can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty during the cloisonne period before it became popular, and because of the use of blue at that time, it was called cloisonne. To say that the father and son of De and Jingtai are really interesting, they both like bronze utensils, one to get out of the Xuande furnace, and the other to get out of the cloisonne, and today's ordinary people probably only stay on these two things.

People don't care about the scenery for a lifetime, and they don't even smell the dog after playing with the bones when they die, the key is to leave something to remember.

The enamel of cloisonné is very thick, the structure is stable, and it is not easy to wear, and the filigree of this eight-petal melon jar is natural and smooth, the glaze is rich and saturated and soft, and the quality is well preserved. The background color of the can body is light gray blue, the main pattern is the yellow dragon and the phoenix playing with pearls, the yellow dragon is imposing, the claws are vigorous and powerful; the color phoenix is elegant, lifelike, and the auxiliary ornaments around the main body pattern are various flowers such as entwined lotus flowers, chrysanthemums, etc. At the bottom of this melon jar there is a four-character regular script of "Xianheng Year", which looks very similar to the late Qing Dynasty: enamel products.

Of course, there are obvious flaws on this cloisonne eight-petal melon jar, and there is a clearly recognizable trachoma inside the copper tire, indicating that the copper contains a lot of impurities, not the best copper, and the copper tire of this cloisonne is not copper, but brass, and the value is greatly discounted. Cloisonné, like porcelain, has been in constant production since it came out, and it is a traditional export handicraft of our country, and this situation has continued until now. The vast majority of cloisonne on the market today is new handicrafts, and only a small part is the old products of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China; the best cloisonne is of course the products of the Ming Jingtai period, if it appears, it is a national treasure.

The old man saw that Tang Feng was almost there, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

To say that this old man is also quite pitiful, he still rides a tricycle all over the street to collect waste on a cold day, his clothes are one by one, bloated but not warm, and he is still wiping his nose with his sleeve between words, and a yellowed liberation shoe

Out of a small hole, revealing the old woolen socks inside. He counted the people who have been poor all his life, dreaming of a miracle, in the past they hoped to win the lottery, now they hope to pick up a national treasure carelessly, so as to completely get rid of the fate of generations of poverty. However, if fate changes so well, it is not called fate, this cloisonne is obviously not a national treasure, Tang Feng nodded and said: "Uncle, this thing can be regarded as an antique." ”

As soon as the old man heard Tang Feng's words, he immediately blossomed, and he couldn't hide his excitement and asked Tang Fengdao: "You see how much this thing is worth." ”

Tang Feng frowned and said, "Uncle, although this thing is indeed an antique, it is not old enough, it is just an imitation of the Republic of China period, and it is worth 20,000 yuan at most." ”

"This gentleman. A passer-by happened to see the cloisonné in Tang Feng's hand, and he said to Tang Feng: "Can you show me this thing?"

This passer-by is in his thirties, with a face like Yao Ming, showing a very decent feeling, Tang Feng nodded and said, "No problem." ”

Although it was only worth 20,000 yuan, the old man was still very happy, and he said, "Oh, that's great, I have picked up a big leak." "For ordinary people, 20,000 yuan is a big number, and the old man can't earn so much money even after working hard for a year.

Guozi looked at the cloisonne and asked the old man, "Uncle, how much did you get this thing?"

The old man said: "I was collected when the copper and iron were broken, there is an alley in Xuanwu District to be demolished, and a family sells waste when they move, and there is this thing." ”

"Haha. Tang Feng said, "Uncle, then I want to congratulate you." ”

"Hey, luck, luck. When people are happy, the old man's thin facial muscles are like the rain moistening the long-drought and cracked land, and they are stretched out at once. After reading the cloisonne, the national character face looked up and asked Tang Fengdao: "This gentleman, what do you think?"

Tang Feng spoke counting, and he replied: "What do you think of the imitation Qing cloisonne during the Republic of China?"

"Hmm. Guozi nodded and said, "It is indeed from the Republic of China."

"Fortunately, he said that he was talking about the Republic of China period, if he dared to say that it was the Ming Dynasty, Tang Feng had to pump him, the difference was very far, and anyone who knew a little bit could see that it was not wrong to slap a swollen face, but it was wrong to be fat.

The old man happily asked Tang Fengdao: "Mr. Tang, do you want this thing?" I will sell you 20,000 yuan, and we ordinary people don't believe in experts now, so we believe you." The old man's words immediately represented the common people, which was purely putting a high hat on Tang Feng, and had nothing to do with Tang Feng's image.

Tang Feng didn't want it, it couldn't rise in value, but he couldn't bear to disappoint the old man, he said: "If you want to sell it, I can ask for it, 20,000 yuan is no problem." ”

"Okay. The old man said, "Then we'll make a deal." ”

"Uncle, you wait first. Guozi face said: "This thing is more than 20,000 yuan." ”

The old man immediately said to the national character face: "This gentleman has a good face, and at first glance he is a loyal person, tell me, how much is this thing worth?"

Guozi said very seriously: "At least it has to be worth 30,000 yuan, right? This thing is a time-honored brand that made cloisonne during the Republic of China, and the value of 'Lao Tianli' is much higher than that of ordinary Republic of China cloisonne." During the Republic of China, there were time-honored brands such as "Lao Tianli" and "Dexingcheng", and the cloisonne process they made was extremely fine, with quality and quantity, and the price was a little higher.

Normally, if someone came to find Zhu'er, Intercept and Tang Feng, they would definitely not be happy, but today was different, he said, "How do you see it?"

Guozi face said: "Although the yellow of this yellow dragon is not as yellow as Qianlong yellow, it is more colorful than ordinary Republic of China yellow, it must be a time-honored brand, and the best Yellow of the Republic of China is of course Lao Tianli." "The face of the national character is very knowledgeable, the cloisonne dynasty is generally judged from the color, the color of the Ming Dynasty is the best, the middle of the Qing Dynasty is second, and the Republic of China is the worst. For convenience, people in the industry use abbreviations, Ming Dynasty white, Qianlong yellow is how to come, Qianlong yellow and Qianlong white process requirements are very high

, which could not be imitated during the Republic of China. Speaking of which, the yellow color of this eight-petal melon jar is really higher than that of ordinary cloisonne during the Republic of China.

"Well, this" The old man was not most concerned about the Ming Dynasty or the Republic of China, he was more concerned about the price, and he said to the national character face: "Do you want it?"

Guozi looked at Tang Feng and said, "How embarrassing is this?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Tang Feng hurriedly said: "You talk about yours, I don't really want it." ”

Guozi said apologetically: "Then I really want it." ”

Tang Feng smiled and said, "You talk, I'll go first." After Tang Feng finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the Chinese stone.

Tang Feng left, and the old man who was left behind glanced at each other, his face was full of confusion, the old man stomped his feet, and said, "20,000 yuan people have been fooled, what are you still adding to the mess?"

Lin Muyu, who had been paying attention to Tang Feng at the door, saw him walk in, and asked him with a smile, "Almost blinded, right?"
