Chapter 334 Three Treasures in Porcelain

……

The bogu frame is about three meters high from the ground to the roof, and the shelving has about five layers, of which the lowest one is the highest, nearly one meter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The four layers in the middle are not much different, all around fifty or sixty centimeters, and the top layer is the smallest, only thirty centimeters. The depth of each layer of shelves is not much different, all of which are about 40 centimeters.

As for the length of these Bogu frames, it is based on the length of the surrounding walls, and the Bogu frame placed on the wall facing the door is the longest, close to six meters.

Obviously, these steel bogu frames are custom-made.

"This is the 'Great Dragon Tank'?"

Just when Wang Zheng was still looking around, Wang Ying had already looked excited and went straight to the opposite side, and a blue and white dragon pattern vat at the bottom of the Bogu frame ran over.

"Big Dragon Tank!"

Wang Zheng was also attracted by the name.

Although he is a beginner in antique identification, he has almost never forgotten his memory after receiving physical transformation, and he really remembers a lot of antique collecting knowledge.

In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court ordered a special kiln to fire a dragon pattern vat for the use of the royal family. The Ming royal family used the dragon pattern vat as the imperial water storage vessel in the palace, or placed it in the tomb filled with lamp oil as an ever-lasting lamp. The blue and white vats have a wide mouth, short neck, round belly, flat bottom, the shape is simple and heavy, the blue and white five-clawed dragon painted on the belly rises in the sea of clouds, showing the royal style, it is a classic work in the large imperial blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. It is also often referred to as the 'big dragon jar' in the mouth of collectors!

Because the dragon tank is too large, it is extremely wasteful of raw materials to be fired, and there are more blue and white materials and labor used, which is easy to produce waste products. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu, to the later Xuande, Orthodox, Wanli, Jiajing and other periods, the big dragon jar was burned, but the finished product was very few, and the price was extraordinary.

"Ming Jiajing year!"

After Wang Zheng walked in, the diameter was 70 centimeters, the height was nearly 40 centimeters, and the six-character regular script horizontal paragraph at the mouth of the large vat with cloud dragon pattern on the surface quickly came into view.

"It's a pity that it's not the blue and white porcelain of the Yongle or Xuande periods!" Wang Zheng said in his heart.

Yongle and Xuande are the Ming Dynasty's strong national strength period, with the prosperity of Jingdezhen porcelain industry and the continuous progress of technology, with its fetus, glaze fine, blue color, diverse shapes and beautiful ornamentation and famous, and Xuande blue and white together is known as creating the golden age of Chinese blue and white porcelain.

On the contrary, during the Jiajing years, peasant rebellions broke out many times, and the national strength weakened. Jingdezhen official kiln began to implement the "official and private burning" system, and there are fewer high-quality products!

In today's auction market, even the 'big dragon jar' is a fine porcelain. The price of the 'big dragon tank' made in Jiajing will not exceed 2 million!

But two million porcelain is already high-grade porcelain, after all, more than 10 million porcelain is only a few of them.

In addition, what surprised Wang Zheng was that in this collection room, there was not only a big dragon jar, but also a similar large 'Ming Dynasty Wanli Blue and White Lion Play Ball Tank' and a 'Qing Dynasty Qianlong Doucai Flower Pattern Jar'!

It's a pity that the Qianlong vat was damaged, otherwise its value would be no less than 10 million.

Because he didn't know much about porcelain identification, he stopped after watching Wang Ying and Wang Sen for a while, and after the heat in his heart had passed.

"Mr. Li, the collection here is really rich!" Wang Zheng sighed looking at the dazzling array of porcelain on the shelves.

"My father spent his whole life collecting, and none of the porcelain that he left behind was not a fine product. I'm not bragging, in this room, any piece of porcelain is put up for auction, and the price will not be less than a million!"

The proud look, confident tone, and strong appeal made Wang Zheng believe that what he said was not a lie.

However, there are no less than two or three hundred pieces of porcelain on the Bogu shelves in this collection room. If the lowest price is less than one million as the other party said, then the combined value of them is really shocking.

"By the way, Mr. Li! I heard that Ling Zun had collected the 'Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup' and the 'Song Dynasty Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Round Wash', two pieces of porcelain treasures, I don't know if I can take them out to open my eyes?"

"Of course, Mr. Wang, please wait!"

As he spoke, Li Yunfeng walked to the left corner of the wall and opened a large safe placed there!

After a short time, I saw that the other party was holding a child's fist-sized, the carcass was crystal white, the surface was red, green and yellow, and the outer wall was divided into two groups with peony lake stone and bluegrass lake stone, a group painted rooster held its head proud, a hen and a chick pecked a centipede, and two chicks played. Another group painted a rooster crowing, a hen and three chicks pecking a centipede, the picture is vivid, full of fun small cup, walked to the small square table in the center of the room, carefully put down.

"Mr. Wang, please see, this is the 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup', and now there are less than five 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup' in the hands of private collectors!"

"Can I get started?"

Although he has just entered the collection, he is still clear about some rules in the industry. When touching this kind of fragile porcelain, it is absolutely impossible to touch the porcelain in the other party's hand with your hands, and only when the other party puts the porcelain down, can you pick it up for viewing or identification. In the industry, this kind of regulation is also to clearly define the responsibility in case the porcelain is broken.

"Mr. Wang, please!"

Nodding, Wang Zheng stretched out his hands with a hint of excitement and picked up the cup. Of course, he didn't want to identify the authenticity, but simply wanted to appreciate the style of the famous 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup'. Therefore, he didn't use a magnifying glass, just held the chicken bowl cup and admired it carefully under the dazzling lamp.

Sure enough, just like the identification books he had read, the tire wall of the Doucai chicken bowl cup was extremely thin, and Wang Zheng took a look at it under the lamp, and the translucent tire had a hazy beauty. It seems that what he is holding in his hand at this moment is not a piece of porcelain, but a real mutton fat white jade.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the treasure of porcelain worth hundreds of millions, so beautiful!"

Wang Zheng couldn't put it down and observed it for a long time, and then he was reluctantly asked by Wang Ying on the side. Wait until he and Wang Sen finished watching it together. More than ten minutes have passed.

After Li Yunfeng hid the 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup' in the safe, he took out the 'Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Round Wash'.

The name of Ru kiln, with the singing of "even if there is a lot of wealth, it is not as good as Ru porcelain" for thousands of years, Wang Zheng has already been like thunder. The wonderful agate glaze of "the rain is clear and the clouds are clear***** thousands of peaks are blue and green", the warm and moist fetal quality of "like jade is not jade, and the jade is victorious", as well as its sound like chime, and the texture characteristics of "skin, crab claws, and sesame flowers" are all concentrated in this "Ru kiln azure glaze round wash", so that Wang Zheng can enjoy the beauty of Ru kiln porcelain.

Sure enough, it lives up to its name!

"Mr. Li, what is this ......?"

After the 'Ru Kiln Round Wash' was appreciated and identified by the three of them one by one, and was put away by Li Yunfeng, he took out a wooden tray from the safe.

The tray was covered with red flannel, which looked particularly mysterious, and of course attracted the attention of Wang Zheng and the others.

"In addition to the 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup' and 'Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Round Wash' just now, they are my father's favorite set of porcelain!"

As he spoke, Li Yunfeng lifted the red flannel cloth, faced the light, and showed seven small cups on the tray that were similar in size to the Chenghua chicken bowl cup just now, but the decoration on them was completely different.

"Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup?!"

Before Wang Zheng could ask, Wang Ying's exclamation full of joy had already sounded in his ears.

"That's right! They are indeed the 'Qing Dynasty Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup', although there are six missing. But they are still regarded by my father as the three most precious pieces (sets) in his collection of 300 pieces of porcelain!"

"Mr. Li, Ling Zun's collection is really enviable, although this set of 'Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup' is incomplete, but they and the 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup' and 'Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Round Wash' are all treasures worth more than 100 million in porcelain!"

Wang Sen, who has been standing on the side, is not stingy with his praise.

Looking at these seven exquisite small cups, Wang Zheng also had in his mind the information he had seen about the 'Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup'.

Kangxi's cultural and martial arts are not mentioned for the time being, history has its own public opinion. He was very appreciative of the porcelain of the past dynasties, and in the nineteenth year of Kangxi, he ordered Jing/Dezhen to restore the imperial kiln factory and develop a new style of porcelain. Kangxi 25 years Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory for the court to fire a set of porcelain for life - "twelve flower pattern cups", the first time to "poetry, calligraphy, painting, seal" on the same vessel together, each cup painted a kind of seasonal flowers, referring to the famous women in history, and inscribed with the corresponding verses, commonly known as "December Flower God Cup". Emperor Kangxi loved it very much, and he took it with him on several southern tours, and he not only liked the craftsmanship of Huashen Cup porcelain, but also liked the cultural conception of flowers and Tang poems.

Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Guangxu, the Republic of China official kiln and the kiln have imitation of the "Twelve Flower God Cup", the size is slightly different, the "Flower God Cup" has developed into a historical brand, and the imitation of the bottom of the later generations also has the words "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty". Each cup is regarded as a treasure by lovers of various historical periods, and the real Kangxi Dynasty Twelve Flower God Cup is undoubtedly an absolute priceless treasure and one of the three major wishes of every porcelain collector.

However, from the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty to the present, for more than 300 years, except for the imitations of later generations, there has never been a 'Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup' in the auction market. And the world's real complete set of 'Kangxi Twelve Flower God Cup' is only available in the Kai/Feng City Museum of Nanhe Province. In addition, even the Palace Museum only has a few single items.

"My father's lifelong wish is to be able to gather twelve, a complete set of 'Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup'. It's a pity that he has been collecting for more than 30 years, and before leaving, he only collected these seven items in front of him!" Li Yunfeng sighed deeply.
