Chapter 117: Heraldic Porcelain (Text)
Like some people, they are often engraved with idle chapters, such as "spotless" is an idle chapter of Xu Beihong, which shows his heart in words, and the other party's idle chapter "Jiangnan Buyi" shows his origin. Zhang Daqian was born in poverty, and he used "begging for food in the world has not yet returned" and "bitter gourd taste" to express his origin, experience and situation.
Xin Fengxia, the master of Pingju performing arts, has an idle chapter called "Report the Name of the Flower", the stone is average, but this seal is engraved with the singing section of "Zhang Wuke" and several famous flowers, which is impressive.
Speaking of idle chapters, there are a lot of stories, the famous writer, bibliophile Mr. Huang Shang also play seals, he picked up a group of idle chapters from the stall, among which "to Yan Xie" seal text dexterous, out of the master, plus the name of the lady has a "Yan" word, then from the name of the study "to Yan Xie" Zhai name, please Qian Jun Tao master to engrave "to Yan Xie Xiaoji" side, a Zhu and a white, with a double bi, stamped on the rare book.
Qian Juntao, a master of seal carving, was a seal for Lu Xun and the founding leader of the country, and was famous all over the world. Before he died, he wanted to donate 700 square meters of Tibetan seals to his hometown and prepare to build the "Qian Jun Pottery Seal Carving Art Museum", but for various reasons, he was politely declined by some local leaders.
After his second hometown Zhilu said the news, he decided to invest 8 million yuan overnight, and sculpted the bronze statue of the master to welcome, and asked the treasure to return to his "hometown", which coincided with the 700 square "United States and India" to Japan exhibition, and the Japanese side paid a total of 50 million US dollars for safety reasons!
It can be seen that this "providence is always with people", not only seals, but also many things are according to people's will!
Xiao Linzi naturally didn't know about these stories in the industry, and even the origin of this idle chapter, he didn't know anything at all, so he could only brag about it indiscriminately.
It's just that his completely unnutritious rhetoric, not to mention Kong Si, even people like Xu Shaodong and Wu Chen, who often visit the market, have already heard it badly, really, what age is it, and he still changes things without changing words, who are fooling!
After the last, Xiao Linzi also said that he was tired, seeing that they were a group, it was really not easy to fool, so he was too lazy to bother with saliva, and this seal was sold to Xu Shaodong for 1,000 yuan, and he still felt a little aggrieved in his heart, buddy, this saliva can't be in vain, is it easy to rely on this mouth every day?
Although I don't know who carved it, it must have been a leak! Xu Shaodong was happy in his heart, so he asked, "Is there anything else good?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Linzi was anxious, and he responded. Now people are very cautious, this kind of place generally does not come with anyone, today it is not easy, only to fool these buddies to come, busy for a long time, only do more than 1,000 yuan of business.
He dragged out a box of similar size from under the other bed, took out a porcelain plate and a jar from it, and said: "This general jar is a fine product, you see this glaze, black and bright, serious Guangxu Dynasty old objects!" ”
"Well, it's a good thing! Keep it for yourself! Xu Shaodong almost burst out laughing when he looked at the jar that Xiao Linzi took out, what kind of general jar is there, it is clearly an urn!
Fortunately, it seems that it should not have been used, it is not a new pit, and I don't know who brought it abroad, it was preserved until now, and it was sold back as a big pot.
Wu Chen also smiled, and picked up the plate casually, the plate was very simple, the outer edge was a copper-plated twig pattern, the plate surface was blank, but in the middle was a castle pattern, "Dude, how to sell this plate, give a real price!" ”
"Five thousand." Xiao Linzi was just laughed at by Xu Shaodong, and he was a little depressed in his heart, glanced at the plate in Wu Chen's hand, and said listlessly.
He really took this batch of goods from a friend, of course, it came in through some kind of "special channel", the same batch of goods was wrapped up at one time, among which there are several high-quality products, the price is really expensive, but these two pieces are the "ride" goods he picked out, which means that if someone is happy, buy more, and don't mind taking the delivery.
It's just that he is a little greedy, and the "boutiques" are sold one by one, but these two goods have never been "taken" out of the gang, and it is money to keep them, so don't talk about the urn, damn it!
He didn't think it was a good thing all the time, the castle was built in Western style, and it was worth nothing. It's just that this guy has taken a fancy to this, so it's okay to open a piece and sell one piece.
"Can it be cheaper?" Wu Chen said lightly, in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart, at this price, maybe he could really pick up a big leak today!
It seems that these two guys, although they are mixed in the market, do not know the value of this plate! However, buying and selling, bargaining is also a proper routine, and the other party can't make an offer without counteroffering.
Xu Shaodong was teasing Xiao Linzi just now, and his focus was all on the urn, and at this glance, he suddenly screamed in his heart, damn, the same person has a different life, a brick fell from the sky, why did it fall on this guy's head!
At this moment, his heart is full of grievances against Xiao Linzi, what the fuck are you looking at! Come up and get an urn for yourself! With such a big leak, I passed by!
"Four thousand eight! I can't reduce it anymore, this is my price! Xiao Linzi pretended to be very resolute, with a tragic face, seeing Xu Shaodong grinding his teeth on the side, he couldn't wait to beat this sharp-beaked monkey's face into a big pig's head!
"Hehe, okay, buddy, fart! It's just three thousand, and the money and goods are clear. Wu Chen has long been familiar with their usual tricks, and it is said that there is this big man standing at the door, and he was still setting up a stall not long ago! This kind of thing can be completely ignored.
"Oh, here you go! It's time to make a friend. Xiao Linzi said distressedly, but his heart was happy, "Wrap it up for you." ”
Kong Si stood at the door, not bothering to participate in their business at all, and he was careful when he entered the door. has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is too familiar with this kind of occasion, and he knows many of them.
In this line, pouring out real and fake antiques, digging pits and burying mines, stealing chickens and dogs, abducting and deceiving, doing everything possible, in that era of mixed sects, there are many of these goods in the lower nine doors.
Wu Chen didn't bring so much money with him, so he borrowed some cash from Xu Shaodong, paid the bill, picked up the plate and left.
"Wood, how come you're so lucky?!" When he got outside, Xu Shaodong stroked his bloody heart and sighed, "Is it really heraldic porcelain?" Take it out and take a look. ”
"Heraldic porcelain?" Kong Si accidentally became a bodyguard, went out of the alley, and saw that no one was following, so he put his mind on this plate.
The so-called heraldic porcelain, he also knows a little, this is a kind of ancient export porcelain of the Celestial Empire, belongs to the "sample processing" porcelain, by the craftsmen of the porcelain capital of the Celestial Empire, in accordance with the types, shapes, styles, ornaments, construction periods and other painted firing provided by European merchants, it has both the characteristics of the traditional porcelain-making process of the Celestial Empire, and embodies the exquisite and elegant European decorative style. Because these porcelains are often printed with the coats of arms of European aristocratic families, they are called "coat of arms porcelain".
"Gotta find somewhere, right? This road is daylight, you don't die in the sun! Wu Chen was also in a good mood, he didn't bother to take a closer look just now, and he just wanted to find a place to take a good look.
The three of them then came to a teahouse, which is also a time-honored copper shop, and also operates a teahouse, which is not much of this kind of place, and is very famous in this area of Xiguan.
went upstairs, asked for a window seat to sit down, ordered a pot of kung fu tea, and before the tea came up, Wu Chen put the plate on the table, and several people took turns to look at it.
For this plate, Wu Chen has just seen it with his ability, at least it is an object of the Qing Dynasty, but the origin needs to be verified, in his cognition, export porcelain is mostly seen after Daoguang, especially in the Tongzhi and Guangxu dynasties, it is the mainstream of the market. But Kang Yongqian's three generations are rare!
"This is supposed to be an early heraldic porcelain." Xu Shaodong looked at it for a while, this plate is so exquisite, and I don't know which dilapidated and wealthy family it came from, but it is not difficult to see what kind of glory the owner who customized it back then.
"Early? How do you know about the Dao? Although Kong Si also knows the variety of heraldic porcelain, he doesn't know much about it, so he asks.
It is said that in that year, the European wealthy nobles went to the Celestial Empire to customize heraldic porcelain, and there were about 300 of them. This type of porcelain generally bears armor, military insignia, coats of arms and other motifs, and the motifs are in the center of the picture, and the early coats of arms are larger, and the surrounding patterns are wider, and often more than one. ”
From the late 18th century onwards, the coat of arms became smaller, and the surrounding floral ornaments were small and narrow. The coat of arms of this plate is a castle, so it should be customized by a royal family or a wealthy family, not a legion or a large company, and judging from the pattern and coat of arms on the plate, it should be an early feature. "It's not the first time Xu Shaodong has seen heraldic porcelain, there are a few pieces in his master's museum, but they don't look so extravagant!
"There is indeed such a saying. The last time a German museum came to the provincial museum for a joint exhibition, there was a celadon bowl inside, and the additional metal ornaments had the heraldic pattern of the Song Earl, which is said to be the earliest existing heraldic porcelain in Europe with a clear date. Wu Chen said while recalling, but this is not quite consistent with the time he judged, this should have been burned in the eighteenth century at its peak, that is, almost in the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.
According to the data, the firing of heraldic porcelain began in the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century, and in the late 17th century, the French Prime Minister Mazaran established the "Celestial Empire Company" in accordance with the order of King Louis XIV, which reached its peak in the late 18th century. There is something to say about the changes in the ornamentation. ”
"I heard Tian Lao say that there seem to be a few nobles who continue to use this pattern and have never changed, but I don't know what this castle means. But even if it's the logo of a certain nobleman, it can't be judged to be an early work, right? Kong Si said uncertainly.
"Anyway, this is a pickup!" Xu Shaodong said with a blank eye, Wu Chen's shit luck made him can't help but be envious and jealous, and he almost hated it!
"It's just a coincidence, three thousand yuan is indeed a leak." Wu Chen smiled and said humbly.
No way! If you don't pretend to be forced, you'll die! Xu Shaodong saw that he looked cheap and behaved, and he almost hated him!
