Chapter 570: This Tea Cup Is Good

PS: Three more, book friends with monthly passes, please support a lot, thank you.

"This is the ...... of the tortoiseshell skin of the Jizhou kiln"

At this time, Wang Guan carefully took out the contents of the box, and saw that the thing was a black glazed porcelain bowl, but on the pitch-black glaze, there were still a little mottled faded markings, like tortoiseshell scales.

The tortoiseshell is a reptile that lives on the bottom of the deep tropical sea and belongs to the turtle class.

Because the tortoiseshell can live for more than 1,000 years, and there are thirteen scales on the back, such as shields, arranged in three rows of tile-like arrangements, so the hawksbill turtle is also called the thirteen-scale, long-lived turtle.

In the eyes of the ancients, the tortoiseshell is a symbol of auspicious longevity, warding off evil spirits, and has high medicinal value, so it has won the love of the royal nobles, wealthy families and even the common people in the past dynasties.

Other dynasties are not mentioned, just the Song Dynasty, because of the love for tortoiseshell, there are skilled craftsmen who simply imitate the pattern and color of tortoiseshell shells to create and burn beautiful and realistic tortoiseshell black glazed porcelain.

At present, the bowl in Wang Guan's hand belongs to this shape.

"Little brother's eyesight is not bad."

At the same time, the shopkeeper was a little proud, and said with a smile: "That's right, this is one of the tortoiseshell Tianmu of Jizhou, which is the most exquisite tea bowl in Jizhou kiln." If you were in Japan, this thing would be a national treasure. ”

Some people may be confused, after all, as we all know, Tianmu porcelain and Tianmu glaze generally refer to the Jianzhou kiln. It is the most famous black-glazed porcelain of the Song Dynasty, and it is also a treasure for modern collectors.

Jianzhou rabbit lamp, partridge lamp, famous all over the world, as long as the people who have some understanding of the ceramic objects of the past dynasties, should know their preciousness, but why did a Jizhou kiln suddenly emerge Tianmu Zhan?

In fact, this can be regarded as a misunderstanding of everyone, you must know that there are too many treasures of ancient Chinese porcelain, when everyone is discussing. I always like to describe representative things, and I ignore other precious varieties intentionally or unintentionally.

Just like mentioning the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, everyone loves Yuan blue and white, but there are people who don't know that in the eyes of senior connoisseurs, the Shufu glazed porcelain is not inferior to the Yuan blue and white treasure famous porcelain.

It is because of this bias that everyone now thinks that Tianmu porcelain is Jianzhan. However, this is not an absolute thing, because in the Tianmu porcelain of the Song Dynasty, there are also varieties as valuable as Jianzhan, that is, the Jizhou Sanmu mentioned by the shopkeeper just now.

The so-called Jizhou three-day eye is actually to put it bluntly. It is the black glazed porcelain produced by Jizhou kiln.

Jizhou kiln is located in the Jiangnan region, began in the late Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Five Dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty, but declined in the Yuan Dynasty. The kiln mouth of Jizhou kiln has a rich variety of products, and some varieties are also white ground brown, which is very similar to the Cizhou kiln in the north.

However, unlike the Cizhou kiln, the fading painting of the Jizhou kiln is not depicted, but a paper-cut applique process. This is the originality of the Jizhou kiln, and it is also the most significant feature of this kiln system.

This is a very unique process, such as when firing porcelain bowls, the leaves are removed. Paper-cuts are pasted on the surface of the bowl, and then glazed and fired, so that a peculiar pattern appears. When drinking tea, it is like a leaf floating on the water. Naturally, there is something special about it. The Konoha Tianmu in the Jizhou Three Days is a product made by this process.

In addition, there is a kind of turtle shell Tianmu Zhan, which is similar to the tortoiseshell Tianmu Zhan. But there are certain differences. The ornamentation of this kind of Tianmu bowl is very similar to the tiger skin pattern, so it is also called the tiger skin cup.

Of course, the most precious is the tortoiseshell Tianmu, due to the kiln change, the black glaze is similar to the tortoiseshell scale markings, showing a very delicate texture, so from the princes and nobles to the common people, they all like this kind of bowl very much. It's a pity that because its reputation is inferior to that of Jianzhan, most people probably don't know that there is still this kind of Tianmu Zhan.

However, among these people, Wang Guan and others are not included.

"Jizhou kiln tortoiseshell Tianmu Zhan."

At this time, Gao Dequan was also a little moved, and he also understood why Hao Baolai was so cautious. If such a thing is in good condition and genuine, it is worth at least hundreds of thousands, and it really cannot be taken lightly.

"Things are very rare and precious, and they are tortoiseshell markings, which are festive and auspicious, and they are perfect for birthday celebrations." Hao Baolai whispered: "So you have to check for me, don't make any mistakes, I can't afford to lose this face." ”

"Don't worry, if you read it wrong, not only will you lose face, but I won't have to mix it up in the industry." Gao Dequan nodded slightly, but he was not in a hurry to get started, because the thing was still in Wang Guan's hands.

Moreover, Gao Dequan also believed in Wang Guan's ability, so after he watched it for a few minutes, he immediately asked, "Wang Guan, how are things, what do you think?" ”

Wang Guan didn't answer positively, but said with a smile: "Everyone should be clear, but anything with thick glaze must not have a good fetal quality, so the glaze is used to cover it up." In particular, black glazed porcelain, glazed with a color like black lacquer, can completely cover up the shortcomings of poor tire quality. ”

"But then the sheer black is a bit monotonous. But the wise ancients would never stick to the rules, and then they developed the kiln transformation, paper-cutting appliquΓ©s and other crafts......"

Wang Guan talked eloquently about the formation and development of black glazed porcelain, but there was nothing substantial.

Listening to this, the shopkeeper quietly smiled disdainfully, and subconsciously felt that Wang Guan was the kind of half-witted person who had empty knowledge but didn't know how to connect with reality at all. Hao Baolai next to him probably thought the same thing, so his brows furrowed slightly.

However, Gao Dequan knew Wang Guan's strength very well, and when he listened to him go around, he knew that something was wrong.

Of course, believing is believing, and Gao Dequan is not in a hurry to draw conclusions. After all, people who are truly capable generally only believe in themselves and will not easily trust others.

"Show me something."

Gao Dequan reached out and took the tortoiseshell Tianmu Lamp, and then carefully weighed and observed. Soon after, he also put down the lamp casually and said with a smile: "Wang Guan, you are very right, Song Huizong once said that the color of the lamp is blue and black, and the rabbit is the best. In other words, kiln change is the key, and all kinds of kiln discoloration spots are like clouds, drizzle, reeds, tortoiseshell carapace......"

All of a sudden, the other two finally realized that something was wrong.

Hao Baolai naturally believes in Gao Dequan's ability, and the shopkeeper also believes that Hao Baolai will not casually invite someone to identify the bowls.

If it is simply Wang Guan's rambling narrative, then it is naturally a golden and jade appearance, and the straw bales in it are ruined, but even Gao Dequan is also pulling around, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Something may not be right." Hao Baolai vaguely understood in his heart, and then asked, "Lao Gao, what do you think?" ”

"Well...... Gao Dequan hesitated and kicked the ball to the side: "Wang Guan, tell me your opinion." ”

"It's good, it's exquisite." Wang Guan smiled and said: "The black glazed cup is perfect for drinking white tea." ”

In an instant, seeing that Gao De didn't react at all, Hao Baolai completely understood, and said with a smile: "That's a pity, I still prefer to drink green tea." ”

At the same time, the shopkeeper was also an old man, so he naturally understood Wang Guan's hints, and his brows suddenly frowned when he heard the sound, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it.

You must know that Wang Guan and Gao Dequan did not directly point out that this tortoiseshell Tianmu cup was a fake, and if the store insisted on arguing with them, then it would be full of weakness. The so-called clear ones are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. If you are really confident, you should not argue.

"Boss, it's good, you can put it away."

After taking a sip of tea, Hao Baolai stood up and smiled at Wang Guan and Gao Dequan: "Let's go out and see if we can find something to drink green tea." ”

Wang Guan and Gao De were all good and followed Hao Baolai out. Of course, if you are not in a hurry to leave, it will be a slap in the face, and you have to go around the store anyway.

At this time, walking to the corner of the store, Hao Baolai hurriedly asked: "Lao Gao, tell me carefully, what's wrong with things?" I feel that the tortoiseshell Tianmu is quite good, and the glaze is in line with the characteristics of Jizhou kiln. ”

"If you think it's true, it must be true no matter how you look at it." Gao Dequan scoffed and said casually: "Wang Guan, you tell him that something is wrong. ”

"The portion is not right." Wang Guan said with a smile: "The weight of the bowl is too light, and the mud should be too fine." Although the shape is similar, it does not have the feeling of heaviness of the real thing. ”

"Wang Guan is right." Gao Dequan agreed: "You should know that the bowl is in the shape of a hat, with a wide mouth and a small bottom. If there is no little weight, it will stand unsteadily, and the bowl just now is like this, and it is estimated that the bowl will be poured as soon as the wine is poured. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Taught. Hao Baolai tried hard to recall, and then helplessly spread his hands and said: "Forget it, if you think there is a problem, then you still don't buy it." Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens, and seek stability. ”

"Listen to what you mean, you don't seem to fully believe us." Gao Dequan chuckled and said, "Then we won't stop you, just go and buy it, and see who suffers in the end." ”

"Believe, how can you not believe." Hao Baolai said with a smile: "I don't believe why you asked you to palm, especially Brother Wang, your eyesight really threw me two streets......"

Wang Guan smiled lightly, didn't answer the question, and after walking away for two steps, he browsed casually on the cabinet next to him. Perhaps the shopkeeper prefers black glazed porcelain, anyway, most of the objects on the cabinet shelves are black glazed bowls, plates, boxes, bottles and pots. As for the real and fake, let's not talk about it, the items are very complete.

At this time, Wang Guan's eyes swept at will, and he noticed a gray-black tea cup placed in a relatively remote position on the shelf, and his heart suddenly moved, and he gently reached out and picked up the tea cup to watch. Looking carefully, I saw that the inside and outside of the wall were gray and black with white color, and because of the long years, the glaze has lost its bright luster.

In addition, in the tea cup, there are also some obscurity markings, but it may be that the heat is not enough in the process of kiln transformation, so the traces appear very light and looming......

All in all, this teacup looks good, and Wang Guan plans to buy it. (To be continued.) )
