The four words on it are: Guotai Min'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The four words below info are: Wan Shi Qingping.
The hair color of this blue and white is very bright, with a purple tinge in the blue. This color, the text is not very easy to express, if the image is a little bit, a bit like the feeling of purple potion shining. This is a typical feature of the blue and white hair color of the Jiajing Dynasty, and it is commonly known as "Buddha's head green" in the line.
This is the effect of Jiajing blue and white using the green material produced in the Western Regions. Of course, not all Jiajing blue and white flowers have this effect, because there are three kinds of green materials used in the Jiajing Dynasty at the same time, as well as Pitang green and stone green, which are mixed in many times.
This Buddha's head is blue, and it is the finest hair color.
Blue and white porcelain is a small category that has attracted a lot of attention in antiques, and players who like blue and white porcelain know that the blue and white porcelain hair color of the Ming Dynasty was basically from heavy and gorgeous to comfortable and light, and then returned to the process of heavy and gorgeous.
The representative of the early period is Yongle Xuande, the representative of the middle period is Chenghua Hongzhi, and the representative of the late period is Jiajing Wanli. By the late Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy was already very developed, which was a bit like the germ of capitalism in the West at the same time. It's just that the sprout of China not only did not grow, but was later trampled by the relatively backward Houjin Iron Cavalry, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it fell from a feudal dynasty to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial.
Because of the developed commodity economy in the late Ming Dynasty, the enthusiasm of artworks has its roots.
Sima Liu looked at it for a while, and immediately called Tang Yi over, and lowered his voice, "Look at it!" ”
Tang Yi took a closer look, nodded slightly, and then beckoned to the man, pointing to the bottom of the gourd bottle.
The guy knew that he wanted to see the bottom, and the two of them came up together, holding on to the bottle, ready to let them see. This requirement is very normal, it is very important to look at the porcelain is to see the bottom, although the thing is very heavy, but it also has to be seen carefully.
At this time, the chubby boss seemed to be busy, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "It's not enough, but it's a bright green glaze." ”
As soon as Tang Yi heard it, he knew that this boss was an expert. Jiajing blue and white, the utensils of the official kiln, the bottom is more bright green glaze, but the vast majority of the official kiln is with money. As for the folk kiln, there are many people who do not bring money, but the bottom treatment is often thicker and larger, and the situation of exposed tires is more common.
Both applied bright green glaze, and without money, this is a bit contradictory normally, but there are also abnormal situations, either the special situation of the official kiln without money, or the rare fine work situation of the private kiln.
Because the "official and private burning" was implemented in the Jiajing Dynasty, so the fine work of the folk kiln is also a foundation, and the fine products of individual folk kilns can be compared with the official kiln from the tire glaze to the color.
But no matter how fine it is, it is also a private kiln, and from the market situation alone, the official kiln and the private kiln are of course not the same.
The boss naturally won't lie to what he can see, and after looking at the bottom, it's the same as he said.
Tang Yi looked at Sima Liu, and Sima Liu also gave Tang Yi a look, looking at what it meant, he really wanted to buy it.
"The glaze is a little impermeable, but it looks like a fine product of a folk kiln." Tang Yi took out his cigarette and sent it to Sima Liu and the boss respectively.
The boss waved his hand and said with a smile, "The blue and white of Jiajing official kiln mainly depends on the hair color, and the glaze color is a little thicker in the late stage, which is also normal." Moreover, it is not for nothing that there are official kilns without money. ”
Sima Liu immediately said, "If it's an official kiln, the boss won't just put it like this, right?" ”
"Tell me the truth, it was originally placed here!" The boss stretched out his hand and pointed to the cabinet next to him, and sure enough, the most conspicuous lattice with glass closure in the middle was empty, "There is a customer who came to take a detailed look in the afternoon, so I took it out in advance." ”
"It's decided, can we still buy it?" Tang Yi took a puff of his cigarette and asked.
"He only said to take a look at it in detail, but he didn't say to buy it, and he didn't pay a deposit." The boss smiled slightly and picked up the original topic, "There is no point in us discussing the official kiln here, even if I admit that it is a private kiln, but the price is too high, you will definitely not buy it." If I think it's an official kiln, but the price is right, you will buy it too. Isn't it? ”
Tang Yi listened and smiled slightly, but did not speak. This boss is not only knowledgeable, but also very good at business. At this time, Tang Yi couldn't ask the price, because it was obvious that Sima Liu wanted to buy it, Tang Yi was a helper, and Sima Liu had to ask about this, and Tang Yi could still "question" or "block" it at that time.
Sima Liu thought about it, but didn't ask directly, "Listening to the boss, the price should not be high." ”
The boss's smile remained unchanged, "The porcelain system of this gourd was created by Jiajing, and this piece is a rare boutique with a large shape and good hair color." High or not, it's all relative, and then it depends on how much you like it! ”
The boss is right, the official kiln porcelain of the Ming Dynasty gourd bottle was created by Jiajing. Although they have not yet agreed on whether this gourd bottle is an official kiln or a private kiln.
Official kiln porcelain is very formal, and it is also a very serious matter to create a new style. Making a gourd-like bottle is indeed a bit undignified and elegant.
But Jiajing is the emperor, he believes in Taoism, and the gourd is a typical utensil of Taoism, so an order must be made in the style of a gourd! At the same time, Jiajing also pursues auspicious words, and porcelain should also be used. This gourd bottle on the Guotai Min'an, Wanshi Qingping, that's how it came about.
For such an emperor, the style reflected on the porcelain, in addition to the gourd bottle, there are also many things such as gossip, lingzhi, and cloud cranes on the ornamentation.
Just like many emperors in the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism, there were many Buddhism-related ornaments on porcelain.
Generally speaking, those who believe in Buddhism believe in the afterlife, and those who believe in the Tao talk about the present life. Emperor Jiajing is not the son of the emperor, but the cousin of the aforementioned Emperor Zhu Houzhao, who is called Zhu Houxi. Because Zhu Houzhao had no son, he was supposed to be the prince, and he was welcomed into the capital as the emperor.
So before, he never thought that he might become an emperor, but he suddenly had a yellow robe in this world.
At the same time, not only was he not mentally prepared, but he was actually not "trained" to be an emperor. His father's fief was in Chu, close to Wudang Mountain, where Taoism flourished, and he was influenced by Taoism since he was a child.
Emperor Jiajing originally believed, and when he was in Jiajing for 20 years, there was an accident, which was very bizarre, and a palace maid wanted to strangle him with a rope. However, it didn't completely succeed, Jiajing just fainted. The official history of this matter did not say the reason, the wild history is messy, and it is difficult to explain clearly. But there is one thing, this one almost died, no matter who it is, the impact is very great.
Since then, Emperor Jiajing has moved to Xiyuan and has not gone to court, what is the main purpose? Alchemy.
He was a heavy Taoist emperor before, and since then he has simply become a Taoist priest with the status of emperor.
Of course, Tang Yi had already understood this thing. But he didn't expect Sima Liu to ask the price directly, and after listening to the boss's vague answer, he couldn't help but cough at Sima Liu.
