Chapter 1119 Miscellaneous Pavilion
……
When they arrived at the Yuan Dynasty porcelain exhibition hall, everyone was even more surprised, in the exhibition hall of about 600 square meters, there were three exquisite porcelain pieces in the tempered glass display cabinet in the middle!
"Yuan Qinghua's 'Taoyuan Sanjieyi' character pattern big jar, Yuan Qinghua's 'Guiguzi Descending Mountain' character pattern big jar!" Hong Lao's voice full of surprise just fell, but after seeing a slender plum bottle next to him, he looked at it, and his tone immediately raised an octave, "This ...... This is the Yuan Dynasty's gold and gold colors?"
Compared with Hong Lao, although Dong Lao and Qi Gong know very well about the preciousness of the 'Zhizheng Yuan Blue and White', that is, the large jar of character patterns, they do not know much about the gold multicolored ware.
After all, they are all specialized in painting and calligraphy appraisal, and they don't dabble in porcelain!
According to the description in the "Ming and Qing Dynasty Porcelain Appraisal", the porcelain fetus of the Yuan Dynasty gold and colorful porcelain was the cardinal plain tire burned for the Yuan Imperial Palace; the green glaze of the Shufu of the Shiguan kiln (known as the egg white glaze); the red, purple, yellow, blue, white, green (or peacock green) colors were used to decorate the flowers and standing powder, and then the color was added to the outline, and the gold sheet was inlaid (or pasted with gold leaf or recoated with gold powder); the ornamentation was the royal traditional cloud dragon pattern, miscellaneous treasures, ruyi, tangled branch flowers and Buddhist meaning of lotus petals, eight treasures, Sanskrit. There are seals on the wall of the vessel, and there are the dark patterns of the entangled branch and the peony that were popular at that time; the vessel type has a plate, a bowl, a jade pot spring bottle, a goblet, an incense burner, and the royal kiln ware of the Yuan Dynasty fired in Jingdezhen. The overall impression of this kind of gold multicolored porcelain is that the color is ancient, and the color and the gold sheet are integrated, and the gold is brilliant. Extravagant. ”
“…… According to the records. This kind of Yuan Dynasty gold five-color porcelain is unique due to the influence of the "big food kiln" pottery and copper enamel inlay in the Western Regions. However, because of the scarcity of the quantity, and the fact that the Guozuo of the Yuan Dynasty was less than a hundred years old, the number of Yuan Dynasty gold and color porcelain that has been handed down is scarce, and even less than the number of Zhizheng Yuan blue and white porcelain! Up to now, there are no more than 20 pieces of Yuan Dynasty gold and gold porcelain found in China and even in the world, and most of them are small pieces such as plates and bowls, and most of them are repaired after being damaged. …… Right now. This Yuan Dynasty gold multicolored dragon pattern plum vase is the only Yuan Dynasty gold multicolored large-scale vessel I have seen!"
Looking at Hong Changshan's fiery and even a little intoxicated eyes, everyone looked at the slender plum bottle that looked exquisite and gorgeous under the illumination of high-intensity spotlights, with a height of no less than 50 cm, and their hearts were all amazed!
From the beginning, when everyone saw that this porcelain was actually placed together with two pieces of 'Zhizheng Yuan Blue and White', they understood his preciousness, but they didn't want it to be so precious and abnormal!
From Hong Changshan's explanation just now, I am afraid that the Yuan Dynasty gold multicolored dragon pattern plum bottle in front of me is the only large-scale Yuan Dynasty gold and gold plum bottle in the world!
As for its value, according to the principle that scarcity is precious. It is estimated that I will not be able to buy it without a few hundred million. Now, of course, it is placed in a museum. In terms of Liu Dong's net worth, the possibility of it entering the market in the future is almost gone!
Listening to the exclamation in everyone's mouths, Liu Dong was also a little proud!
However, the Yuan Dynasty gold multicolored porcelain in his hand is not just a plum vase, but it is a pity that most of the small vessels saved are plates, and the large vessels with a volume of more than 20 cm are now a dragon plum vase!
Out of the Yuan Dynasty porcelain exhibition hall, as many as 8 pieces of Song Dynasty porcelain in the Song Dynasty porcelain exhibition hall behind the Song Dynasty famous kiln porcelain caused everyone to marvel!
In particular, 'Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Xuan Wenzun' and 'Ru Kiln Brush Wash' have become the most precious finale treasures in the Song Dynasty porcelain exhibition hall!
Walking further back, after the bombardment of a series of national treasure-level porcelain, and then seeing the Tang Dynasty's 'Yingzi model' secret color porcelain, as well as the large Tang Sancai, everyone was not as surprised as at the beginning, or that they had seen too many good things, and they were already a little numb!
In the past, the Song Dynasty porcelain exhibition hall was the 'Six Dynasties Porcelain' exhibition area set up by Liu Dong according to the dynasty.
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the period when the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were established, followed by the alternation of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then the Northern Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Zhou dynasties of the Northern Dynasties and the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen states of the Southern Dynasties. However, the production of porcelain, as a new industry, gradually developed in the small country of Anjiang left - this is the famous celadon of the Six Dynasties. The so-called "celadon of the Six Dynasties" refers to the celadon ware produced in the Jiangnan region at that time.
Yue kiln, Ou kiln, Wuzhou kiln, Hongzhou kiln, Yuezhou kiln are the most famous kilns in the celadon of the Six Dynasties.
However, although the porcelain of the Six Dynasties has been inherited for more than 1,000 years, and the extent of its longevity far exceeds that of the Ming and Qing dynasties of later generations, because the porcelain art methods of this era are not abundant, and the porcelain is rough and primitive, it has reached the modern antique trading market. The value of porcelain from the Six Dynasties is only above the original celadon and the porcelain of the late Qing and Republic of China.
Therefore, the celadon of the Six Dynasties is naturally even more scarce! Liu Dong, the only one with the highest value in the celadon war zone of the Six Dynasties, which can be called a national treasure, is a celadon cow lamp from the Ou kiln of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with a height of 43.4 centimeters and a bottom diameter of 57.5 centimeters. The lampholder is in the shape of a shallow disk, and there is a scalper on the lamppost. The ox is prostrate, its eyes and mouth are brown, and its eyes are blazing. The shape is vivid, the image is realistic, and it is an extremely rare masterpiece in the Ou kiln celadon.
Obviously, this celadon cow lamp is a porcelain artifact, the so-called artifact, also known as "Ming ware", is a special burial utensils for ancient people. The soul bottle, the divine beast, the chicken cage, the dog basin, and the pigsty belong to this category in the celadon of the Six Dynasties.
Because there are not many good porcelains in the Six Dynasties, the number of porcelains of the Six Dynasties collected by Liu Dong is only about 300. Therefore, this exhibition area has become the exhibition area with the shortest stay time in the entire porcelain war zone.
Of course, this is still temporary, because next to the porcelain exhibition area of the Six Dynasties is the original celadon exhibition area.
The Shang and Zhou dynasties were the gradual stage of transition from pottery to porcelain, that is, the stage of the development of primitive celadon. Generally speaking, all porcelain before the Six Dynasties celadon can be called 'primitive celadon'!
Because of the gap in porcelain-making technology, the price of primitive celadon is lower than that of the Six Dynasties celadon, of course, there are also fine products in the original celadon!
For example, the celadon tripod in Liu Dong's collection, as well as the barn jar and the five-even jar!
In the past, the original celadon exhibition area, the last remaining exhibition area is the pottery exhibition area!
Among them, except for a small number of exquisite pottery from the Qin and Han dynasties, the rest of the collections are pottery from the pre-Qin period and the primitive era!
Although the value of these pottery is not high, in addition to focusing on fine products, the museum collection should also ensure the integrity of the collection lineage! In this way, the representative artworks of the Neo-Paleolithic Age, such as Banpo, Hemudu, and Longshan, have become indispensable!
However, because many civilization sites have been discovered one after another after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are not many things in themselves, Liu Dong can't find the corresponding pottery in a long cultural symbol here, or only one or two pieces that are not so exquisite!
If it weren't for the insistence of Li Lao at the beginning, Liu Dong would have directly canceled these pavilions without representative artworks!
After admiring the porcelain exhibition halls on the fourth and fifth floors, everyone took the elevator to the sixth floor again, and when they arrived here, Hong Lao's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Miscellaneous is the favorite of this old man with a somewhat upright personality and a slightly fiery temper. Moreover, through the previous series of visits, whether it is calligraphy and painting, or ceramics in the back, Liu Dong's collection here can be said to be a collection of fine products, and there are many national treasures! Therefore, when facing the miscellaneous exhibition area, Mr. Hong naturally has more expectations.
Because the miscellaneous items contain the relationship between the various sub-categories and the most collectibles, when Liu Dong and Li Lao discussed setting up the exhibition hall, it was not like calligraphy, painting and ceramics were sorted according to dynasties. Rather, they are distinguished according to their respective kinds.
Because of the huge number of complexities, the sixth, seventh and eighth floors were all arranged by Liu Dong into miscellaneous exhibition halls!
More detailed divisions include: numismatic exhibition hall, classical furniture exhibition hall, gold and silver exhibition hall, lacquered wood and bamboo exhibition hall, tooth horn bone ware exhibition hall, bronze exhibition hall, study four treasures exhibition hall, ancient books and rare books exhibition hall, Buddha statue exhibition hall, stone carving craft exhibition hall, clock exhibition hall, glass exhibition hall, enamel exhibition hall, silk fabric exhibition hall, as well as purple clay pots, snuff bottles, bonsai, quyi and other a total of 35 large and small exhibition halls!
There are a lot of fine cultural relics in almost every exhibition hall, if there is the most expected, it is the bronze exhibition hall, and the musical instrument exhibition hall with a small number of exhibits!
In the musical instrument exhibition hall, the Tang Dynasty Lei Gongqin 'Jiuxiao Huanpei', 'the sage and the holy sound', the Song Dynasty famous piano Zhongwei Zhongzheng cut the 'Qiong Xiangqin', Yan Guqing cut the 'Drum Dragon Qin', the Ming Dynasty four kings of the Qin Yiwang Qin and Heng Wang Qin, are rare boutiques, especially the first two Lei Gongqin is a national treasure!
Moreover, because it is not easy to preserve wood, famous pianos that have been passed down for thousands of years are rare in the world. Liu Dong's collection here is rare in the world!
Moreover, it can be compared with the Forbidden City, which brings together all Chinese art masterpieces, in the guqin collection, it can be called a 'moment of brightness'!
But if you really want to talk about it, the collection of the numismatic hall is not inferior to the musical instrument exhibition hall, especially: Song Dynasty gold coin 'Xuanhe Tongbao' small flat money, ivory coin like Ming Dynasty 'Wanli Tongbao' fold ten coins, Hongwu Tongbao fold two carved mother money, 'Kaiyuan Tongbao small flat carved mother money', 'Kangxi Tongbao fold ten carved mother coins' bronze carved mother coins, cast mother coins fifty treasures two: 'Da Dan Tongbao' and 'Tianfu ingots', sample money and sub money fifty treasures of the five: 'national treasure treasure treasure five thousand', 'Tang Town Treasury', 'Tiansheng ingots fold ten', 'window national Tongbao' and' Yongle Tongbao back three money'.
However, those who are engaged in collecting basically like to study classical culture, and naturally they have a bit of the style of ancient literati. Therefore, liking 'piano, chess, calligraphy and painting' is naturally better than 'copper smelling things'! )
