PS: The second more asks for a monthly pass, there is not much time left for double, and I ask for a monthly pass to support.

"You can take a look too."

After watching for a long time, Yu Feibai reluctantly put down the sweet white porcelain bowl gently, motioned to Wang Guan to take a look, and at the same time admired: "The enamel is white, fat as fat, and the light is see-through, and there are no flaws at all, which can be described as flawless." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded lightly, if the thing is genuine, then Yu Feibai's words are definitely not an exaggeration.

The reason why the price of porcelain in ancient official kilns is higher than that of gold is due to the cost of firing, which was originally piled up with real gold and silver. Everyone only cares about seeing the flawless porcelain that has been handed down now, but it is easy to ignore the ancient emperor's requirements for the quality of imperial porcelain are very strict, and the porcelain has any flaws, it will be broken and buried. And the complete Yongle sweet white ware left behind is itself a treasure of one in a million, how can it not be precious?

At this time, Wang Guan also carefully picked up the small bowl, and as soon as he got his hands on it, he felt that the weight of the thing was very light.

This is a very normal situation, after all, Yongle sweet white porcelain is a semi-detached porcelain, and the amount of kaolin is increased in the porcelain fetus to consolidate the shape. When washing raw materials, the coarse essence is removed to increase whiteness and light transmittance. From molding, portrayal to firing, we need to keep improving, and the slightest carelessness will be wasted.

A piece of fine sweet white porcelain, not much else, first of all, the fetal quality must be as thin as paper, which can be regarded as barely qualified. When you pick up something and look at it, the thin carcass is transparent, as if there is no tire wall, which is the semi-detached process. Moreover, the process is simple to say, and it is really the crystallization of the painstaking wisdom of ceramic craftsmen for thousands of years.

"Pretty."

At the same time, Yu Feibai was not willing to be lonely, and came over to watch: "In addition, on the wall of the bowl, there are dark patterns carving. ”

"See."

Between words. Wang Guan took out a small and delicate flashlight and turned on the bright light. I saw that under the light, the bowl wall was reflected in the complicated but not chaotic tangled branch flowers, under the cover of the sweet white glaze, looming, extremely beautiful, delicate and lovely. Moreover, through the transparent bowl wall, the fingerprints of him holding the small bowl are clearly visible, which fully indicates the transparency of the small bowl.

The dark pattern of the entwined lotus is filled with white glaze, that is, the outline is engraved first, and then filled with white glaze. Finally, it is sent to the kiln for firing. This process is the whitening process. That's why I say sweet white, but it's actually filling.

Needless to say, the delicacy of the whitening process is the most eye-catching thing is the unique faint flesh red of the sweet white porcelain, like the skin of a baby, which cannot bear to play. It's like an egg that has just been peeled out, and it's very moist. The glaze is as white as clotted fat, plain as snow, and the tone is quiet and soft, giving people a sweet feeling visually.

However, under the bright light. There is a slight pink halo again. In this situation, it is as if the sweet white bowl has human life, and the light red that seems to be absent in the pure white is clearly the healthiest complexion.

"Treasures. It is definitely a treasure among the best. ”

Yu Feibai was a little excited, and his eyes revealed a desire to take it for himself.

"Mr. Kong."

In an instant, Yu Feibai adhered to his heart and asked directly: "Do you have any plans to sell this thing?" ”

"How. Do you want to buy? Hearing this, Zhou Lao was a little surprised, and kindly reminded: "The price of things is expensive. To say the least, it is more than 10 million. ”

"Twelve million." Yu Feibai said boldly, it was also his turn to be wealthy. After becoming a new billionaire, he has never had a chance to perform, and now he has finally tasted the taste of spending.

For a moment, some people's eyes flickered, surprised by Yu Feibai's financial resources. However, Wang Guan and Qian Lao understood the situation, and they didn't think there was anything strange, let alone any objections. After all, the Yongle sweet white porcelain bowl is worth the price. Since Yu Feibai really likes it, and he doesn't have the money to buy it, why stop it?

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Xiaoyou."

However, in addition to being surprised, Mr. Kong also came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile and said: "This is the treasure of the town hall, and it has been collected for more than ten years, and it has a little feeling, and I am reluctant to transfer it, please forgive me." ”

"That's a pity......

Yu Feibai felt a little regretful, and after shaking his head, he stopped bidding. First, Mr. Kong has a resolute attitude, and he is not easy to force. The second is that although things are treasures, they are not so precious that they are desperate to get them.

If it is said that the dark pattern of the small bowl is not a lotus pattern, but a dragon and phoenix pattern, or the heart of the bowl has a paragraph, or there is a blue and white pattern, which belongs to the treasure in the record of "Yongle and Xuande kilns are all burned in the inner house, with brown eyes and sweet white as the usual, with Su Ma Liqing as the decoration, and bright red as the treasure", then he will consider whether to buy it with half of his net worth.

"If you want to collect such treasures, you need a certain amount of chance."

At the right time, Qian Lao skillfully changed the topic and asked with a smile: "Brother Kong, if you don't shy away from it, you might as well tell us, how did you get this thing?" ”

Others also paid attention with interest, after all, in addition to its economic value and ornamental value, the origin of the thing is also the thing that everyone is most interested in. Otherwise, there will be no more twists and turns in the collection circle.

"It's a long story, it was fifteen years ago."

At this time, Mr. Kong also fell into the memory, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face: "By chance, I was invited by a friend to visit his home. Then I found this cup in his collection room, and at first glance I was sure that it was Yongle Sweet White ......"

"Fifteen years ago, Chinese antiques were not very valued around the world. My friend, who was a pure foreigner, naturally couldn't understand my perception of the cup, and when he saw that I liked it very much, he half-sold it and half-gave it to me. ”

While speaking, Mr. Kong smiled and said: "A few years ago, after he accidentally learned about the price of Yongle Tianbai in the Chinese market, he has always regretted it. ”

"I'm so lucky."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, especially Yu Feibai, who complained again that he was born at the wrong time, and the good things were almost scraped by the collectors of the generation of Qian Lao and Kong Lao, and it was their turn to be the younger generation, and the chance of wanting to encounter good things was very small.

The eighties and nineties of the last century were simply a golden age for collectors. At that time, as long as the collectors were not afraid of hard work, were diligent, and went to the countryside more, they could always find good things. But now in the antique market, it is the era of capital, and if you don't have strong financial resources, it is pure wishful thinking to buy a national treasure.

"You're still young, what's the hurry, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future."

Hearing Yu Feibai's complaint, Chang Lao shook his head and said, "We won't be able to last a few years, the future world will be yours after all, so why rush for a while." When you reach our current age, there will definitely be no shortage of things to collect. ”

"But it's more expensive!" Yu Feibai muttered silently, but he didn't dare to let a few old people hear it, otherwise he would definitely reprimand him for his improper attitude.

"Don't stand still, either of you."

At this time, Zhou Lao smiled and said, "Find a place to sit by yourself." ”

"Bring two chairs." When Mr. Kong heard this, he immediately waved his hand, and naturally a secretary added two seats next to the coffee table. Fortunately, the coffee table is relatively long, and it doesn't look crowded.

After thanking them, they sat down, and then someone brought a cup and poured tea for them, and added tea for the others...... There was a pause of two or three minutes in between, but it was another topic brewing.

After the person who added the tea retreated, Zhou Lao raised his glass and took a sip of the fragrant tea soup, and then said with a smile: "Brother Kong, you are the leading collector overseas, and the treasure of the town hall is not only Yongle Tianbai, right?" ”

"I don't dare to take the name of a great collector." Mr. Kong hurriedly waved his hand and smiled humbly: "I just have a small savings, but in comparison, I am far from you." ”

"Let's forget it, we don't dare to compare with you." Zhou Lao shook his head and said, "It is estimated that there is only Ling Xi in the audience...... By the way, there is also Wang Guan, the collection of the two of them, or they can be on par with you. ”

"Huh?"

Mr. Kong was stunned, even if he was not very familiar with Qian Lao, but through some channels, he also understood that Qian Lao was a big collector who was quite hidden in China. But Wang Guan has a rich collection at a young age, is it like Zhang Congyu, who has been inherited by his grandparents?

This kind of thing is not surprising, some big collectors are reluctant to donate their lifelong collections before they die, and it just so happens that some of the children and grandchildren of the family are interested in collecting and simply pass things on to him. Mr. Kong suspected that Wang Guan was in such a situation. Otherwise, where would there be so many collections?

"Old Zhou, you've said this."

However, Wang Guan didn't dare to compare with Qian Lao, and directly smiled: "My collection should not be as old as yours, so it can't be described as rich." ”

"The collection is fine, not too much." Zhou Lao smiled: "One of your things is enough for me to be hundreds of pieces." ”

"That's right."

For a moment, Chang Lao and Yu Feibai thought so, and nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Mr. Kong thought about it, but he didn't want to inquire much, so he just smiled and said: "I don't have a treasure with hundreds of pieces, but some time ago I collected a Xuande blue and white ......."

As he spoke, Mr. Kong signaled, and the secretary next to him immediately carefully took away the Yongle sweet white porcelain bowl, but soon came back with a jar.

At first glance, Chang Lao exclaimed in surprise: "Xuande blue and white cricket jar? ”

"Really?"

At the same time, everyone next to him was a little surprised and a little skeptical.

You must know that although cricket jars were more common in ancient times, the cricket jars in the Xuande period were very rare and comparable to the treasures of Yongle sweet white porcelain.

The reason for this is nothing more than that things are scarce and expensive. Throughout the Xuande Dynasty, there were two things that modern collectors regarded as priceless and unique. The first is the Xuande furnace, and the second is the blue and white cricket jar...... (To be continued......)
