Chapter Ninety-Seven: Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup

Moreover, because of the relationship between Japanese culture and China, although the whole of Japan has great contempt for its neighbors to the west, the entire Japanese society from top to bottom has a great respect for ancient Chinese culture, which is reflected in the collecting world, that is, a strong love for Chinese antiques and cultural relics, so the largest buyers of Chinese antiques in the world are still Japanese. They are not only active in buying Chinese cultural relics at auction houses around the world, but also go to China to Taobao in person every year.

Of course, not all Japanese people come to China to buy Chinese antiques, and they do sell them. Especially in China's reform and opening up, a large number of Chinese people have become rich, the antique collection market is getting hotter and hotter, and many Japanese collectors will choose to exchange their Chinese antiques for money when they have difficulty in capital turnover.

In addition to contacting major auction houses to ship goods, they will also contact some international antique dealers, in Chinese terms, brokers, to sell their antiques directly to the wealthy Chinese. And the Fujita Ichiro in front of him is obviously this type.

Although the old man didn't like the Japanese with an obscene face in front of him, but for the sake of being courteous, respectful, and taking the initiative to stretch out his hand, although the old man Li didn't have a face, it was not good for people to not come to the stage. After all, the antiques that need to be identified this time are still in the hands of others!

Subsequently, the two sides shook hands briefly, and after an introduction, they were greeted by Zhao Defa and sat down.

"Mr. Fujita, you should take things out now, right?" asked Zhao Defa with a hint of anticipation on his face.

After hearing his words, the assistant surnamed Wang first translated Fujita Ichiro in a muttering manner, only to see him nod, reached out and carefully picked up a silver-white lockbox placed beside him, and put it on the round table in the center of the crowd. Then enter the password, and after opening it, Fujita Ichiro carefully took out a small box with a red surface and a length of about twenty centimeters from the inside.

After gently placing the box on the round table, Fujita Ichiro broke the lacquered gold buckle on it, and after carefully opening it, a pair of beautiful small quilts wrapped in golden silk, about the size of a normal wine glass, and the inner tire showed a crystal white appearance.

Then, when Fujita Ichiro carefully took the two small cups out of the lockbox and placed them on the round table, everyone could clearly see the whole picture. Old Li, who was still sitting steadily, suddenly showed a look of extreme shock on his face, his eyes widened, his lips opened slightly, and he said with a trembling tone: "Chicken bowl cup!"

Hearing his words, the middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who was sitting on the side, said loudly with a smug look in his tone: "That's right, this is the famous Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!"

Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup is a court utensil fired by the Imperial Kiln Factory of Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty, which is quite precious. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the "Records of Shenzong" contained: "Shenzong is a fashionable food, and there is a pair of Chenghua colored chicken bowl cups in front of the emperor, which is worth 100,000 yuan." It can be seen that in the Ming Dynasty Wanli, the Doucai chicken bowl cup has been a palace treasure, and the value is extraordinary.

In addition, Chenghua porcelain, thin glaze, delicate and exquisite, blue and white color light and plain, soft with a pen, compared with the early stage, the front is strong, the back is soft, each has its own charm. The outline is depicted in blue and white, and various glaze colors are harmoniously matched, which is the so-called "doucai". The mouth of the cup is slightly extravagant, the wall is short, the chicken is the theme decoration, so it is called the chicken cup, and its shape is like a cylinder, called the chicken bowl cup.

Moreover, the decoration of the cup is painted on the outer wall, and two groups of chicken patterns are separated by strange stone flowers. Among them, a group of roosters are in front, guarding with their heads held high, hens are bowing their heads in the back, and three young chickens are around, cheering and spreading their wings. The other group also adopts a combination of two old and three young, the hen is fluttering its wings and bowing its head, and is fighting with the prey, and a chick stands in front of her to cheer for the mother, and is fully prepared to join the battle formation at any time. Perhaps the hen fluttered her wings and alarmed the rooster guarding in front of her, and suddenly looked back with a sense of affection, while the other two chicks frolicked under the flowers, enjoying themselves. The colors on the glaze are red, yellow, brown, green, etc., light dyeing and deep depiction, or two colors overlapping, with ingenious collocation, constructing a lively, vivid and peaceful and joyful family picture.

Now, the color of the Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup in Fujita Ichiro's hand is the same as the previous description of the chicken bowl cup. And it looks like a thick pulp, smooth lines, vivid patterns, complete appearance, no obvious bump marks, it can be said that it is a 'one-glance goods', and it is no wonder that Li Lao immediately lost his temper at first sight.

As long as you are a person who plays porcelain, you will know the name of the Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup, which is more precious porcelain than the treasures of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty. There are only 19 pieces in the world, and only four of them are in private hands at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Metropolitan Museum in the United States, and other world-famous collection institutions.

It is said that scarcity is expensive, coupled with the top craftsmanship of Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup, this small cup, which is known as the "most wine vessel", is worth a thousand gold is not strange.

"Mr. Fujita, can I take a look?" At this time, Li Lao's eyes were all about these two small cups with a height of 4 cm, a diameter of 8.3 cm, and a foot diameter of 3.7 cm, and the others were forgotten. As a master connoisseur specializing in porcelain, there is nothing more appealing to Li Lao than a Chinese art treasure like the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup.

"Old gentleman, please look!" After the translation of the middle-aged man surnamed Wang, Fujita Ichiro nodded.

After receiving permission, Li Lao took a deep breath and calmed down his somewhat excited feelings again. Then he took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands.

Then he took a few steps forward and came to the round table, with a cautious look on his face, and carefully picked up a chicken bowl cup and looked at it carefully.

Looking at Li Lao's movements, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became quiet, and everyone focused their eyes on Li Lao, who was appraising the two cups. Especially Zhao Defa, he held his breath and stared at his eyes, although he tried his best to hide it, Liu Dong still saw a flash of nervousness on his face.

At this time, Liu Dong was also carefully watching Li Lao's careful appraisal actions. Of course, with his current appraisal level, unless he uses the ability of the center of his eyebrows, he can't tell the authenticity of the pair of chicken cups in front of him at all. However, I don't know why, maybe it's my intuition, he doesn't think this pair of Chenghua Doucai chicken cups is genuine.

"That's right!" After trying it with his ability, although there was also a faint aura on the two cups, it was by no means Cheng dù, a national treasure that has been inherited for hundreds of years, such as the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup. "Brother Liu, do you think this thing is real?" Just when Liu Dong had an answer in his heart, Li Yuncong, who was sitting next to him, pulled his sleeve and said quietly.

Hearing his words, Liu Dong raised his eyebrows, looked at the mysterious Li Yuncong and asked with a smile and whispered, "What's the matter?"

Li Yuncong frowned, and after glancing at Li Lao, who was seriously doing the appraisal, his voice lowered, "I don't know, but there are only nineteen pieces of this thing in the world, which is less than the famous Yuan Qinghua and the official kilns of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, and now two pieces have popped up here at once, do you think it is possible?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at him again, but he didn't expect that Li Yuncong, who seemed to be very arrogant, would still have this delicate mind.

"I don't think it's possible, but let's see what Elder Li says!"

"Hmm!"

At this time, everyone's attention was on Li Lao, who was appraising the two chicken bowl cups, but they didn't notice the small action of the two of them just now.

Time passed little by little, and before an hour passed, Li Lao carefully put the chicken bowl cup in his hand back on the table, Li Lao, who was holding a magnifying glass in his hand, looked extremely stern, his eyebrows were pulled into pimples, and his eyes were only staring at the two small cups, full of hesitation.

"Old Li, how is it?" At this time, Zhao De, who was waiting next to him, couldn't help but stand up, walked to Li Lao's side and asked softly.

Hearing his words, Li Lao did not take his eyes off the two small cups. Just shook his head slightly, until a few minutes later, he said with a hint of doubt: "These two chicken bowl cups, whether it is color, shape, or pulp, can not find any fault, no matter how you look at it, they are all serious Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cups!" After a pause, he looked at the two small cups again before he said in a complicated tone: "But I don't know why, I always feel that there is something wrong with this cup in my heart, but I can't say it." ”

After listening to his words, Zhao Defa couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, and said secretly: "You always give me a word of affirmation, whether this pair of cups is real or fake!"
