Chapter Ninety-Eight: Guanyin Bottle
"How about this bottle? Not bad, right?" Ji Gang took out two bottles, twenty centimeters high, with an extravagant mouth, a short neck, plump shoulders, an arc under the shoulders adducted, and an outward skimming below the shins, shallow circle feet, the bottle body is slender, and the lines are smooth.
It is a pair of Guanyin bottles, also known as "Guanyin Zun", one of the popular bottle types from Kangxi to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. Sometimes the bottle and the respect are not easy to distinguish in the title, generally speaking, the mouth and abdomen are called bottles, and the colorful and blue and white products are more common.
"It's not good, the objects from the Republic of China period are a little rough. Yang Fan looked at it for a while and said.
Due to the great changes in China's society, ceramic craftsmanship, like other economic and cultural undertakings, has gradually declined with the decline of the country. Therefore, in terms of porcelain production, not only has there been no development and innovation, but it is increasingly depressed.
In the early days of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai called the emperor, in order to emulate the feudal dynasty, in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province established the imperial kiln factory, sent Guo Shiwu to supervise the kiln affairs, he himself is a lover of ancient traditional porcelain, but because of the short time, the number of firing is not much.
During the Republic of China, in addition to the production of daily-use ceramics, a large number of antique artifacts also appeared. At that time, antique porcelain was popular all over the country. The characteristics of antique porcelain in this period are that there are many quantities and a wide range, not only imitation of famous kiln ceramics of previous dynasties, but also porcelain of the late Republic of China imitation of the early period.
During this period, the porcelain fetal bone was thicker, and there were more products from the folk kiln, such as compared with the porcelain of the previous dynasties, the gap was very large. The enamel is not tightly combined with the fetal bone, and bubbles and deglaze appear on the glaze.
And the two bottles in front of me are a kind of antique ware. However, it has been calculated, at least it will not look nondescript.
"Guanyin bottles are not worth much?" Ji Gang was stunned, it seemed that he made this pile of things, and the most expensive thing was this pair of bottles.
It's hard to say how long the history is, but everyone has said that there is one in the grandfather's generation, so at least there are hundreds of years, right?
With this shape and appearance, he felt that it should be good! Therefore, he didn't feel very distressed when he took it down with 15,000. He made it his biggest bet and had high expectations.
Sure enough, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment!
When Yang Fan commented like this, his heart was half cold, this was more than 10,000 miles away?
"Do you still know that it is a Guanyin bottle?" Yang Fan was surprised, a little surprised, most people only know that it is a porcelain bottle, as for what bottle, they usually have no concept.
"What the people of the village said, they also put it on both sides of the statue of Guanyin to worship. ”
Yang Fan suddenly realized, no wonder there are traces of smoke on the surface of the porcelain bottle.
The shape of the Guanyin bottle is a common variety of Jun porcelain, and its basic shape is the flare mouth, neck adduction, full shoulders, round belly, straight legs to feet, and the pure bottle held by the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the art works that people see.
Folklore, the net bottle held by Guanyin is actually a Jun porcelain bottle, which is given to Guanyin by Jun porcelain artists, Guanyin loves it very much, and later becomes a treasure to carry with him, which is used to hold nectar, rain and rain, and purify all sentient beings.
"Who said that the Guanyin bottle must be precious?" Yang Fan laughed, speechless.
"I don't think it's like this in the Guanyin bottle, right?" Xu Ping interjected.
I have watched a lot of TV movies, and the bottle holding the bottle of Guanyin, the one with the willow branch, has an obvious gap with the two in front of me.
"The legend is different, not strange. Yang Fan explained.
Different places have different legends, especially this kind of mythological stories, which are all based on the imagination of the people in different places, and will not be the same.
Some of them hold the bottle in one hand, some with both hands, and some of the bottles are even turned upside down, which is called Guanyin with dripping water.
"It looks okay, it's beautiful. Xu Ping said.
"Five-color porcelain, the colors are more beautiful. ”
This is a multicolored Guanyin bottle!
Colorful porcelain matured in the Ming Dynasty, which was determined by many factors, which can be described as the inevitable result of the time, place, and people.
The real five-color porcelain of the Kangxi period is quite precious, magnificent and colorful, and has a wide variety. In terms of decoration, the colorful decoration of Kangxi highlights the characteristics of porcelain painting art, emphasizes the artistic feeling more, less vulgar, more bookish, or closer to the art of painting, but it is not an imitation of painting, and still maintains a distinctive porcelain painting language.
"That's not worth much!" Ji Gang asked simply.
"These two are really not very valuable, if you want to sell them, it will be about 20,000 yuan, after all, there are not many people who like to collect porcelain from the Republic of China, and it is this kind of antique porcelain, which is not authentic. Yang Fan explained to him.
Hearing that it was worth about 20,000 yuan, Ji Gang also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he worked hard this time, and he wouldn't lose so much that he took off his underwear.
"That's fine, that's fine!"
At this time, Yang Fan suddenly received a call from Hu Wei, saying that he had arrived in Dengfeng City, came to get together, and asked him for something.
"Then come here, I'm ......," Yang Fan reported an address.
When the other party heard this, it was not far away, and they came to Yang Fan's side in a few minutes.
Seeing that Yang Fan was looking at the box of things, he couldn't help but take a few more looks. However, he didn't make a sound, he didn't intervene, the rules are like this, and he can't trample on it wantonly and offend others.
"What's the matter? This one is still 100,000, do you dare to gamble?" Ji Gang asked after seeing Yang Fan finish reading.
He was in dire need of money now, and his pockets were already very clean, so he was acting a little eager.
Hu Wei almost burst out with a foul sentence of "I rely on", stared at Yang Fan with wide eyes, and then glanced at Ji Gang strangely.
"Okay. Yang Fan nodded, indicating that there was no problem. There are indeed three or two good things in this, 100,000 yuan is a big bargain, didn't you see Hu Wei's guy, his eyes were round?
"What do you call this one, we'll make a bet another day!" Hu Wei swallowed.
"You're okay, but next time it's not 100,000. The stakes must be increased slowly, and that's interesting. Ji Gang was happy in his heart, and there was one more person who gambled with him, not lonely!
"If it's still like this, 200,000 is not a problem. ”
He is also a bunker in his heart, there is such a person, antiques can still be played like this, fresh!
"Okay, that's what you said! Wait, by the way, leave a contact information, and I'll contact you when the time comes." Ji Gang said immediately.
Hu Wei reported a number, and then said: "I like gambling so much, why don't you try gambling stones?" ”
Simple gambling money, that is the lowest level of gambling, in addition to this, there are many ways to gamble, such as gambling stones, that is crazy, that is high-end!
"Gambling stones, what did you come from? Sounds like a lot of fun. Ji Gang was stunned.
