PS: The city is on the list, and you urgently need monthly pass support, if you have a monthly pass, just give a few more, thank you.

The villa was luxurious and empty.

Sitting in the spacious hall, someone naturally served a tea set, and then Fang Mingsheng made a pot of gongfu tea by himself. The tea set is a small red clay pot produced in Yixing, and the white porcelain glazed teacup looks very elegant.

Fill a small clay pot with water, sprinkle in oolong tea leaves, and then set it on the stove to boil.

Soon after, the tea boiled and steam came out. At this moment, Fang Mingsheng picked up the small clay pot and gently poured it on the small shallow white teacup. The fragrance of tea is overflowing, very clear and charming.

The cup is small, the caliber is only the size of a copper coin, Wang Guan pinched it slightly, and it was just a mouthful of a cup. With a sip, the tea soup was slightly bitter, which made him quite unaccustomed to it. However, after the bitterness, there is a bit of fragrance and sweetness, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.

Of course, when drinking tea, someone also moved a box out according to Fang Mingsheng's instructions. The box is relatively tall, and it can be seen that the contents are not small.

At the same time, Wang Guan was also a little unable to sit still, and after smiling apologetically at Fang Mingsheng, he got up and walked towards the box. Then with Fang Mingsheng's consent, he opened the box lightly.

At first glance, Wang Guan was stunned, only to see that in the box was a large bottle, the volume was indeed not small, at least seventy or eighty centimeters according to visual inspection. The shape of the vessel is not common, it is a round lip and an extravagant bowl, a straight neck and plump shoulders, a full abdomen, a shin tuck and a lap of the foot, and there are dragon-shaped ear decorations on both sides of the neck

In fact, the shape of the large bottle is nothing, and the most important thing is that the bottle is covered with colored glaze. From the mouth to the bottom of the bottle, at least sixteen different colors of glaze are painted, and the decoration is completely different.

From top to bottom, the shoulder of the bottle is Jun red glaze, doucai flowers, and pink and green glaze. The belly of the bottle is painted with gold and light on the blue ground, and twelve auspicious patterns are painted. The shin and ring feet are applied with imitation glaze, blue and white entwined flowers, green glaze painted gold petals, painted gold back lines, imitation official glaze, sauce glaze painted gold flowers and other glazes.

The belly pattern is the main decoration of the bottle, and there are 12 pieces in total, which is very delicate. Wang Guan took a cursory look and found that six of them were realistic drawings. They are auspicious patterns such as Sanyang Kaitai, auspicious celebrations, and Danfeng Chaoyang.

Anyway, the whole large bottle is a collection of high temperature, low temperature, color glaze and underglaze color, overglaze color in one, not only cumbersome and gorgeous, but also very delicate and beautiful.

"The King of Chinese Porcelain!"

In an instant, Wang Guan exclaimed: "Porcelain mother? ”

"That's right, that's it."

Fang Mingsheng's eyes showed regret, such a treasure can be called a unique product, and there are few in the world. To be sure, one of them is in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Beijing, and it is said that the National Palace Museum in Taipei also has one. In addition to this, there are some rumors that are true and false. It's confusing.

The title of the king of Chinese porcelain, that is definitely not blown out, this big bottle also deserves such an honor.

The firing process of this large bottle is very complicated, whether it is the glaze color, or the pattern, it is extremely cumbersome, it can be called the culmination of the porcelain making process of the past dynasties, and it belongs to the only piece of porcelain with the most and most refined decorative techniques handed down at present.

Due to the various varieties of porcelain from the ages, the same craftsmanship can be found on this large bottle. That's why some people call this big bottle the mother porcelain. In fact, until now, the experts of the Forbidden City have not thought of a fitting name for this large bottle, but only called it a large bottle of various colors of glaze.

However, compared to the glazed vases, this is neither loud. And the name is not prominent, everyone still prefers to call it the porcelain mother, or the king of Chinese porcelain.

Of course, all honors. It all goes to the real big bottle of the Forbidden City, not this fake.

"How can you be sure it's a fake?" Wang Guan asked as he studied.

The bottle is huge. It also looks exquisite, but it may be because it was salvaged from the sea, and the glaze on the bottle also appeared. Therefore, when viewed through a magnifying glass, the color of the various glazes is a little dull. However, it is these characteristics that undoubtedly enhance the convincing power that the thing is genuine, and it is no wonder that Fang Mingsheng was fooled in the first place.

"Zeng Lao said......"

Fang Mingsheng was about to explain, but suddenly he stopped making a sound, and asked instead: "Now that you can confirm that the thing is a fake, can you see where the fake is?" ”

"What, are you testing me?"

"That's right."

Fang Mingsheng admitted: "I told other people that things are fake, but they don't know where the fake is, and they think I'm joking." If you can't even see it, then I'll just sell it, and I'll be able to recoup my capital. ”

"In that case, why don't you do it?"

Wang Guan is really curious, with Fang Mingsheng's character, even if he is deceived, then he should not have any psychological burden to deceive others, why did he suddenly become so honest and selfless?

After all, such a thing has always been only action. If I had said it, I wouldn't have done it.

"What else could be the reason?"

Fang Mingsheng sighed and said: "Elder Zeng has warned, if I dare to cheat people like this, then he will give up his old face, join his peers to ban me, and kick me out of this circle." ”

"Oh." Hearing this, Wang Guan immediately respected the old Zeng who had never known his life, and he was a real collector, which naturally made people particularly admired.

In addition to sighing, Wang Guan also continued to study the big bottle. Fang Mingsheng tested something, he didn't care. But it would be a bit embarrassing to know that something was a fake, and there was no evidence of fraud.

"According to the records."

When observing carefully, Wang Guan also tried to recall: "This large bottle was carefully fired by Emperor Qianlong during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so as to show his perfect old man's merits. ”

"The large porcelain vase brings together a total of fifteen kinds of glazes, sixteen ornaments, and twelve auspicious patterns. Such a large and complex exquisite artifact can also be called unprecedented. ”

Wang Guan sighed a little: "Anyway, it is said that no one can imitate it so far, even if there are imitations, they are all created out of thin air by counterfeiters according to the photos of the Forbidden City, just to pursue the similarity of patterns and decorations, but if you look closely, there will still be many loopholes." ”

"But this bottle is an exception, it looks realistic."

At the right time, Wang Guan blinked his eyes and sighed softly: "It's really worthy of Mr. Zhu, even the porcelain mother can be imitated." ”

"It's just a façade." Fang Mingsheng snorted and said, "To give you a hint, only shortcomings need to be covered up." This is Zeng Lao's original words, if you understand the meaning, you will definitely be able to find the flaw. ”

"It's the shortcomings that need to be covered up ......"

Wang Guan thought about it, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately reached into the bottle and touched it, then took a few steps back, and then looked at the bottle by the sun. After a while, a clear smile appeared on his face: "The flowers are becoming more and more charming, and Asakusa can have no horseshoe, so it is no wonder that he threw things into the sea, causing the situation of fishing porcelain in the sea." ”

"What, do you see a flaw?" Fang Mingsheng was a little surprised: "Tell me, what did you find?" ”

"The process of this thing is very cumbersome, especially the glaze on the bottle body, and the complex decoration, as long as there is a slight error in the firing process, then the bottle will definitely be wasted." Wang Guan commented.

"Of course I do."

Fang Mingsheng said in a deep voice: "The point is the flaw, what is the flaw in this big bottle?" ”

"Don't worry, listen to me first." Wang Guan continued: "Just like the shape of water, it is determined according to the container, so the molding and solidification of the glaze and decoration also depends on the quality of the carrier, that is, the porcelain fetus. ”

"The carcass is the foundation, I should be able to understand what Boss Fang said, right?"

After seeing Fang Mingsheng nodding, Wang Guan immediately smiled, pointed to the big bottle and said, "The carcass of this thing is wrong." ”

“…… What's wrong? Fang Mingsheng's eyes flashed: "Be specific." ”

"The carcass is too heavy and very clumsy. To put it in layman's terms, it is dead and heavy, and it is no longer just a pressure hand, but you have to move hard before you can lift it. Wang Guan smiled: "But it is also understandable, after all, it is a large bottle of more than 80 centimeters, and it depicts various colors of glaze, and it is necessary to pay attention to the heat, the process is very cumbersome, and it is understandable to ignore the weight." ”

"Of course, I think it should be that Mr. Zhu Da has not fully mastered the technique of firing porcelain mothers, so only on such a thick and heavy bottle can he be coated with so many layers of color glaze."

While speaking, Wang Guan smiled again: "After all, the carcass is thick, and the glaze can be tightly attached to the bottle. ”

In fact, if you think about it, Tang Ying supervised the manufacture of porcelain in the porcelain capital for decades, but in the end, he only fired a handful of glazed vases of various colors, so he also knows the degree of difficulty in the process of this thing. Mr. Zhu Da wants to restore and copy it 100%, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

At this time, Wang Guan analyzed: "It can't be exactly the same, so there is only another way to make up for it." The best thing to do is to grind the carcass thin and throw it to the bottom of the sea, causing the sand to wear out. ”

"There are two advantages to this, one is that after a soak in seawater, even if it is important, everyone will mistakenly think that it is because it has been soaked in seawater, and they will not be too suspicious."

At this time, Wang Guan stretched out two fingers: "The second reason is to cover up the shortcomings." If you look closely, you can see that the pattern on the large bottle is faint and a little blurry. ”

"If it is genuine, there must be no such phenomenon, but Mr. Zhu Da cleverly disguised the thing as Hailao porcelain, so it makes people feel that the glaze of the large bottle has been worn by the sea sand, and it is normal to be a little blurry."

After carefully commenting, Wang Guan smiled and said, "Boss Fang, I don't know if I'm right?" ”

“…… You're right. Fang Mingsheng's eyes showed surprise: "It's exactly the same as Zeng Lao's opinion." ”

"That's also a hint from Boss Duodefang." Wang Guan said modestly: "In other words, there was Zeng Lao's judgment first, and then I have my current afterthought." It's just picking up people's teeth, and it's not a good job. (To be continued......)
