Chapter 038: Hand Pressure Cup
Professor Han's identification speed is very fast, and he can determine the identity of an unearthed artifact almost every minute. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Jiafan's speed is much slower, and it takes an average of five minutes to complete the identification of a piece of porcelain.
Sometimes, she can only determine an approximation.
No way, although Lu Jiafan is Professor Han's protégé, her time to learn porcelain identification is limited after all, and the amount of knowledge stored in her brain is definitely not as good as that of Professor Han, who has been immersed in this industry for decades, and it is normal for the identification speed to be slower.
Besides, in the appraisal industry, it doesn't matter how fast or slow it is. The most important thing is whether you can identify the authenticity of something.
Identifying the cultural relics unearthed from the ancient tomb is actually a big advantage for the appraiser.
Because as long as the dynasty in which the owner of the tomb was located during his lifetime is determined, the appraisers can first have a rough range of dynasties for the unearthed cultural relics.
Without this precedent, it would be difficult to identify all the information about a piece of porcelain in a matter of minutes.
At this time, Lu Jiafan was worried about a bowl-shaped porcelain.
This piece of porcelain is neither big nor small, like a bowl, but it is a little unlike, so that people don't know what to call it.
The mouth of the porcelain is flat and outward, and the abdominal wall is nearly vertical, adducted from the lower abdominal wall, and the foot is circled. Its appearance looks dignified and generous, and it is painted with blue and white patterns inside and outside, which is a typical Yongle blue and white porcelain.
And in the heart of this porcelain, there is also a beautiful sunflower printed. The heart of the sunflower is the "Ming Yongle Year".
The seal character of this flower heart is a major feature of Yongle blue and white.
In fact, most of the Yongle blue and white flowers are unliterate, and only a few are exceptions. Moreover, only the Yongle blue and white produced by the official kiln will leave the "Yongle Year System" style, and be surrounded by double circle lines, single circle lines and petal streamers.
Among these styles, the most valuable are the blue and white double lion hydrangea heart, flower heart and mandarin duck circumference.
The porcelain produced by the folk kiln occasionally leaves a sense of style, but it is a relatively simple word such as Fu, Lu, and Shou.
Lu Jiafan was sure that the porcelain she was holding in her hand was definitely a precious Yongle blue and white product, but she forgot the specific name of the porcelain for a while, and the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't remember it.
Obviously, the name was on her lips, but she couldn't remember it and couldn't say it.
Lu Jiafan wanted to ask Professor Han for advice, but when she saw Professor Han concentrating on her work, she flinched a little.
This question is definitely not difficult, and she may not be able to think of it in normal times. And even if you can't remember it, it's not a big deal to ask Professor Han casually.
But now it's different.
They are now doing an appraisal of artifacts unearthed from the tomb.
This is also the first time she has come to such an important occasion for an internship.
If she messed up her first important internship, not to mention that it would disturb Professor Han's appraisal, it would be herself, and the hurdle in her heart would be very difficult.
But if she didn't ask, would she just keep holding this porcelain in a daze?
Lu Jiafan was in a dilemma for a while.
Chu Ning, who was sweating on her forehead, came over with a box of sorted out complete porcelain, and when she saw Lu Jiafan holding a piece of porcelain and was stunned, she was slightly stunned, and gently turned Lu Jiafan with her elbow.
Lu Jiafan looked at it stunned.
Chu Ning was afraid that her stupid appearance would attract Professor Han's attention, so she hurriedly whispered, "Sister Fan, what's wrong?"
Lu Jiafan only hesitated slightly, and then said his question directly: "...... I knew it must be genuine, but I couldn't remember its name for a while, and I couldn't complete the record......"
That's what happened.
Chu Ning understands very well.
This kind of thing happens to her herself sometimes, obviously something very familiar, but her mind is like a stuck shell, and it is completely blank.
Chu Ning glanced at the porcelain in Lu Jiafan's hand, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Sister Fan, this is a hand cup, right?"
The hand cup, as the name suggests, is naturally a type of cup.
The size of the hand cup has always been not big or small, when held in the hand, the mouth edge of the cup slightly outward is just pressed on the edge of the hand, the weight is moderate, and the hand is firmly fitted, which has the reputation of the hand cup.
The Ming Dynasty's hand cup is very famous, especially the Yongle hand cup, there are many imitation Song Dynasty cups, most of which are fine products, and even the National Museum has a collection.
Lu Jiafan suddenly realized.
No wonder she has always felt that this cup is very familiar, it turned out to be the famous hand cup!
It's a shame that she didn't even recognize it just now!
It's a shame!
Fortunately, she didn't rush to ask the teacher, otherwise she would definitely disappoint the teacher!
Chu Ning saw that Lu Jiafan had understood, so he didn't say more, just smiled slightly: "Sister Fan, you are busy, I will go to do things, so I won't bother you." ”
Lu Jiafan's heart warmed when he heard this.
Chu Ning helped her, but she didn't take any credit. This little junior sister of the outer department is really a person who can be friends.
Lu Jiafan nodded to Chu Ning and said in a low voice: "Chu Chu, thank you." ”
Chu Ning smiled, turned around and went on to do his own thing.
Although Professor Han's appraisal was very fast, and Lu Jiafan was on his side to assist, it took them three full days to complete the identification of the intact porcelain.
These porcelains contain treasures, as well as worthless folk kiln works. They are not all eligible to enter museums, but they can be used for teaching and research, and they cannot be disposed of casually.
As for the experts and assistants who came before, Chu Ning heard that some of them were also doing appraisal work in other places, but more people continued to go down to the tomb to complete the finishing work of the ancient tomb excavation.
After the identification of the intact porcelain, Professor Han also breathed a sigh of relief.
He is old, and such high-intensity identification work is really unbearable for him.
However, seeing so many rare and precious porcelains identified from his hands, Professor Han was also extremely satisfied.
"I'm going to leave the rest of the appraisal work over to the three of you. After breakfast, Professor Han said to Chu Ning and the others, "This time, I will only assist you from the side, I hope you can all play well." ”
Chu Ning and Jiang Weiwen looked happy together, and said loudly: "Professor, we will definitely not let you down!"
The two of them have been fighting for so long, and now they can finally get their hands on the appraisal in person!
Especially Jiang Weiwen, he has always felt that his talent in appraisal is higher than that of Lu Jiafan, but it is only because he first learned the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, and only followed Professor Han to learn porcelain appraisal after being admitted to graduate school, so he was not valued by Professor Han like Lu Jiafan.
If you really want to talk about the level of identification, Jiang Weiwen feels that she must be better than Lu Jiafan!
However, in the previous appraisal work, he was reduced to the same status as Chu Ning, a miscellaneous foreign student, which stimulated Jiang Weiwen's proud heart a lot.
