Chapter 268: Li Lao's Treasure House (Middle)

"Hong Xian porcelain!"

Looking at the label attached to the display shelf, Liu Dong's breathing suddenly became short.

Yuan Shikai called the emperor, after 1916 Jingdezhen porcelain to watercolor and pastel, Guo Shiwu at that time to supervise the burning of the imperial porcelain, it became a modern collectors to chase the rare treasure, known as "Hongxian porcelain".

Because the President of the Republic of China Presidential Palace is located in Zhongnanhai, and Yuan Shikai's place of residence is Jurentang in Zhongnanhai, so the porcelain burned is the red seal script "Jurentang System" and "Jurentang". But Yuan Shikai went against the trend of history, and only served as emperor for 83 days before he died. There are not many "Hongxian porcelain" burned, and the ones that have been handed down are even rarer, which can be described as rare, and have become the target of porcelain collectors to find and collect. "Hongxian year" model for this workshop master to use the remaining porcelain clay made, lasted nearly two years, survived more circulation limited is still a treasure, after the reform and opening up there are a large number of imitations.

Looking at Liu Dong's movements, Li Lao smiled next to him and said, "I don't have much Hongxian porcelain here, and I have only collected such 8 pieces for decades!" Although he said this, the smug expression on Li Lao's face could not be hidden.

"Hey, jealous!" Liu Dong wailed in his heart.

"On this shelf are mainly fine porcelain from the Republic of China, in addition to Hongxian porcelain, there are two batches of 'Zhongzheng' national gift porcelain ordered by 'Lao Jiang', as well as birthday porcelain and porcelain for daily use; in addition, there is also a part of the fine porcelain of Liling porcelain that won the Panama Gold Medal with Moutai at that time, a total of 156 pieces!"

After Liu Dong finished reading, the two walked to the third exhibition shelf.

"On this shelf are all official kiln ware products from the Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, and Guangxu dynasties, a total of 164 pieces!"

"On this shelf are the official kilns of the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties. A total of 45 pieces. 42 pieces of fine kilns!"

See here. Liu Dong looked at the old man with admiration in his eyes, the official kilns of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties are the best in the entire Qing Dynasty porcelain, any one is not less than a million, and the boutique is worth tens of millions, Li Lao has dozens of pieces here, and I don't know how he collected them.

"The porcelain on this display shelf is all Ming Dynasty porcelain, of which there are 35 pieces of official kilns and 56 pieces of fine folk kilns!" Liu Dong, who had just recovered from the exquisite pastel porcelain and sacrificial red porcelain of the Kangqian and Yong dynasties, immediately fell into the brilliant colors of the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is blue and white porcelain! It's so beautiful!" Liu Dong looked at the dragon pattern, phoenix pattern, unicorn pattern, sea beast wave pattern and other colorful patterns, bottles, large plates, bowls and other porcelain with different shapes, he was really dazzled, and he didn't know where to start. I only think this one is beautiful, and that one is even more exquisite.

Looking at his appearance, Li Lao smiled, "Okay, there will be opportunities in the future, come over here." There's even better here!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong reluctantly glanced at the exquisite porcelain on the display shelf. The fart followed behind Li Lao and continued to walk down.

However, the porcelain on this shelf is even rarer, four meters high, more than three meters long, there are only less than 30 pieces of porcelain on the display shelf, compared with the dazzling array on the previous shelves, it is really too far behind. However, although it is rare, it is even more precious.

"Yuan Qinghua Seawater White Dragon Pattern Bafang Plum Vase!" Looking at the familiar figure on the exhibition shelf, Liu Dong couldn't help but blurt out.

"Elder Li, isn't this thing in the Forbidden Palace?"

Hearing Liu Dong's suspicions, Old Man Li glared at him fiercely, "Don't you know that they come in pairs?

Hearing this, Liu Dong quietly used his ability to take a look, and it was indeed genuine, but the brilliant treasure light almost dazzled his eyes, and he hurriedly put away his ability at the moment, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I have a total of 12 pieces of Yuan blue and white here, all of which are genuine, but only this 'Yuan blue and white sea white dragon pattern Bafang plum bottle' and 'Yuan blue and white unicorn pattern plate' are considered large, and the remaining 10 pieces are medium and small!"

"That's also remarkable, I'm afraid most museums in the country don't have as many yuan blue and white flowers as you have!" Liu Dong hurriedly complimented.

"That's!" After nodding proudly at first, Li Lao couldn't help but sigh again, "It's a pity, I don't have any of the most exquisite character pattern jars in Yuan Qinghua, what a pity!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong also felt a little regretful in his heart, there are less than ten Yuan Qinghua character jars in the world, and China, the birthplace of Yuan Qinghua, has not a single one. Of course, this is on the surface, as for the private collection, or whether there are any that have not yet been unearthed, Liu Dong does not know.

"However, China is so big, there should be a Yuan blue and white character jar, and it hasn't been discovered yet, right?" Liu Dong thought to himself.

"Li Lao, this should be a Jun kiln pen wash, right?" Looking at the regretful look on the old man's face, Liu Dong hurriedly changed the topic and pointed to a rose-purple pen wash and asked.

"Yes, even if you kid didn't learn in vain during this time! This Jun kiln brush wash is not easy to come by!" Then Li Lao took this pen wash and told Liu Dong on the spot about the origin, characteristics, historical changes and identification methods of Jun kiln porcelain.

"This is the official kiln lotus cup!"

"These two are the Brother Kiln Bafang Ear Flat Bottle and the Brother Kiln Bafang Bowl!"

"This is a rose-red glazed hexagonal flower pot!"

"The five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, I can get them together here only because of the Ru kiln!" Li Lao said with a little regret in satisfaction.

Hearing this, Liu Dong hesitated for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "Forget it, I will tell Mr. Li after I have finished reading all the collections here, I have a piece of Ru kiln porcelain there! Otherwise, with the character of the old man, I am afraid that I will have to go to see it now! In that case, it would be a pity not to finish reading so many fine antiques!"

After making up his mind in his heart, Liu Dong was not talking.

At this time, after showing Liu Dong the five famous kilns, Li Lao picked up a small black bowl next to him.

"Do you know this?"

Looking at the ostentatious look on Li Lao's face, Liu Dong carefully looked at the small bowl in Li Lao's hand, and said tentatively: "Li Lao, this is the black glazed rabbit of the Song Dynasty construction kiln?"

"Yes, you kid has eyesight!"

Due to the prevalence of tea fighting in the Song Dynasty, the black glazed tea cup suitable for tea fighting, also known as Jianzhan, is the most popular among the literati in Shuiji Town kiln products. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the black glazed cup used for the court to burn tea was engraved, and the words "into the cup" and "for the emperor" were engraved at the bottom of the vessel. Jianyang kiln products use raw materials with high iron content to make tires, so the tire color is dark black and hard, and there is a common name of "iron tire", or the name of black mud kiln, black building, black mud building, etc. Black glaze is applied inside and outside the cup, and the outer wall glaze is not to the end, revealing the black tire. The black glaze pot is decorated with the markings formed by iron crystals, and the strip-like crystal pattern is called rabbit hair, there are yellow, white two colors, so there are gold, silver rabbit hair, jade hair, rabbit spots and other other names, there are also oil droplet crystals, and the Song people call partridge spots. The iron crystals are called oil droplets, and there are a few kiln glazes, and the kiln turns blue around the irregular oil droplets, which is particularly precious.

This type of porcelain is known in Japan as Tenmu glaze. Both Japanese and Korean tea ceremonies attach great importance to this object. Its carcass is thick and firm, the color is light black or purple-black, and the shape of the vessel is mainly bowls and cups.

Among them, the Yaobian Tianmu glazed tea bowl, which is collected in Japan and regarded as a 'national treasure', is a porcelain produced in a kiln built in the Song Dynasty.

"Songjizhou kiln paper-cut applique dragon pattern bowl!"

"Song Yaozhou kiln flower blowjob branch peony pattern plate!"

"Song Yaozhou kiln blue glaze engraved baby play pattern bowl!"

"Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln blue glaze dragon pattern cap bottle!"

"The porcelain of the Song Dynasty, I only have these ten pieces here! I originally wanted to collect all the porcelain of the six major kiln systems of the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately my energy is limited, and the old man does not have much money, so it will be up to you kid when the time comes!"

After listening to Elder Li's words, Liu Dong nodded hurriedly.

"Old Li, don't you have a Western Xia official kiln or Liao porcelain here?" asked Liu Dong. You must know that although the Song Dynasty was prosperous, it was not a unified country. Western Xia, Liao, and Jin, absorbing the culture of the Central Plains, also created a very splendid civilization.

"No, it's too little! And occasionally a few of them are damaged, not boutiques, so I don't stay!" the old man shook his head.

After playing with the collection for a lifetime, Li Lao's vision is very picky, if it is not a boutique, he will never receive his own treasure house Historically, it is basically sold through the agarwood pavilion, and after getting the money, he will continue to acquire his favorite collections.

"Tang Dynasty Shouzhou kiln yellow glaze holding pot!"

"Tang Shouzhou kiln black glazed porcelain pillow!"

"Tang Dynasty Yue kiln fish ear double-ring bottle!" ......

After some introduction, the old man introduced 6 pieces of fine porcelain from the Tang Dynasty to Liu Dong, but among the six famous kilns of the Tang Dynasty: Hongzhou kiln, Shouzhou kiln, Yue kiln, Wuzhou kiln, Yuezhou kiln, and Dingzhou kiln, there is no porcelain from Wuzhou kiln and Dingzhou kiln!

Monochrome porcelain has appeared in the Han Dynasty, but limited to the production process, it is not exquisite, the collection value is not too high, and Li Lao has only one white porcelain pot in the Sui Dynasty!

However, there are a lot of pottery Li Lao here, especially there are more than ten pieces of black pottery in Longshan in Dongshan Province, and one or two pieces of pottery such as other Hemudu culture can also be found here, Xia, Shang and Zhou, Spring and Autumn Warring States, Qin and Han Kingdoms until the Tang Dynasty, Li Lao has accumulated more than 100 pieces of pottery here.

"Elder Li is really amazing, you have accumulated six or seven hundred pieces of ceramics here, which is really amazing!" Liu Dong couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the dazzling display shelves.

"Hehe, I have 746 pieces of ceramics here!" said Li Lao with a little ostentation.

"In my life, in addition to fighting, I like to fiddle with these things, from Yan'an, to the capital, and then from the capital back to Quancheng, I have never forgotten the collection, as well as my father and grandfather, the accumulation of more than 100 years of three generations has today, this is the hard work of several generations!

Listening to Li Lao's words, Liu Dong also felt deeply, if there were no three lifetimes of love and unswerving efforts, I am afraid that there would not be so many rare ceramic treasures from the outside world.

"In the future, my collection will be like Li Lao, gathering many treasures and antiques!" Liu Dong secretly made up his mind. (To be continued......)
