After opening it, it turned out to be a very delicate cotton bag. On the cotton wrap, there is still a dark blue entwined branch pattern, at first glance, a bit of blue and white porcelain feeling.

When I opened the cotton bag again, it was really a piece of porcelain.

Although the box is large, it is mostly filled with cotton cloth, but this piece of porcelain is very small and delicate. Although the light in the room is dim, it still can't block the glazed brilliance!

"Enamel Gift Bottle!" Tang Yi couldn't help but let out a low sigh!

Enamel porcelain, as mentioned many times before, only the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian in the Qing Dynasty have, are the imperial vessels of the court, very few handed down, extremely precious. Wen Jia naturally knew this name, and her eyes tightened.

Tang Yi immediately turned the bottom steadily, and the blue color material "Yongzheng Year" four-character Song style was upright and clear.

Look at Chenghua clearly, and look at Yongzheng clearly. Chenghua bucket color, Yongzheng enamel color.

"Just this one, it's more than enough to buy ten such quadrangles!" Tang Yi quickly determined that this family carnival enamel appreciation bottle was undoubtedly genuine in the court of the Yongzheng Dynasty!

"it!" Wen Jia was speechless, "He left such a good thing for a junior?!" ”

"I'm afraid, it's not just for her." Tang Yi was thoughtful.

At the beginning of the firing of enamel color in the last years of Kangxi, the enamel pigment was imported from Europe, and later Yongzheng ascended the throne and took out the money to tackle the enamel pigment, which not only became, but also developed, and the color variety was more abundant.

The pigment is still so costly, not to mention the production, there is an enamel work in the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after receiving the white porcelain fetus fired by the porcelain, and then painted by the court painter, calligraphy and style printing are also in charge of the top masters, and then fired twice.

A piece of enamel can be fired over several months, and the success rate is extremely low.

"Not just for her?" Wen Jia thought for a while before asking, "You mean to stay in Huaxia?" ”

"Yes, since he and his family went overseas through Hong Kong Island, if he took it away, this thing would leave Huaxia! Even if he is a famous collector, I am afraid that this is the only one such a masterpiece. It seems that it is true to say that he is a national industrialist, and this heart of preservation is commendable. ”

"From this point of view, he must have taken some things away, such as the pair of Jiajing imitation Chenghua Doucai flower stone cups, but the things he took away were selective, if this pair of cups was from the Chenghua Dynasty, I am afraid he would not take it away."

"He must have had a lot of it, and since it's unlikely that he would have taken it all overseas, and since he's not heard of any donations in history, he's going to leave some of them. The quantity of this part will definitely not be filled with just four wooden boxes. Of course, he can't leave all of them to the guqin, what old friends, teachers and students, I'm afraid they all have instructions. ”

Tang Yi briefly analyzed this.

"Hmm." Wen Jia nodded, looking at the pattern on the bottle, "Family carnival, interesting." How can a woman who is kept in the dust enjoy the 'family carnival'? ”

"It's because I can't enjoy it that I use this reward bottle to make up for it." Tang Yi said, "This uses the theme of chickens to express the meaning of family carnival, and there is a similar one in the Forbidden City on Taiwan Island." Judging from the porcelain of the Yongzheng Dynasty, the fourth master really likes the animal theme of the head, what deer, sheep, chicken! ”

In fact, not only Yongzheng, but also the ancients have a long tradition of placing beautiful meanings on animals, such as deer Tonglu, sheep Tongxiang, and chicken Tongji.

The picture on this reward bottle is a male and a female and two chickens, and the state is indeed very compatible, very happy.

On the white porcelain base that is as white as snow and as thin as paper, coupled with the delicate and colorful enamel painting, it is indeed very beautiful, and this kind of beauty is not easy to describe if you don't observe it yourself.

The enamel color of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty is not easy to see, even in major museums. Most of them are not, and even if they do, they are not on display at all times. However, as long as you have the opportunity, you must see it, and it is really shocking.

On the bottle, a rooster with a gorgeous crown and feathers is standing on the mountain rock, looking sideways. The hens, on the other hand, are leisurely foraging among the flowers and plants, and are lined with rich peonies, the overall composition is very exquisite, and the colors are bright but reveal a soft feeling.

This bottle is very good for playing with when you hold it in your hand, and you can laugh out loud. Tang Yi tossed and turned, and couldn't put it down.

Looking at it, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "I finally collected a Yongzheng enamel!" ”

Chengyao Doucai Tianzi jar, Yongzheng enamel color appreciation bottle, only with these two pieces of porcelain, the porcelain is not big, it is enough to be proud of the Chinese collection world!

"it!" Wen Jia immediately said, "You are quiet, the sound insulation effect of this courtyard is average, don't look at the closed door, listen carefully and you can hear it next door." ”

Tang Yi also realized that he had lost his temper for a while, and now was not the time to indulge in appreciation, so he immediately repacked the reward bottle into a blue broken cotton bag and put it into the wooden box.

"Let's take a look at this next!" Wen Jia took the opportunity to pick up the wooden box that was slightly larger than the book, "Look at this size, could it be a rare book?" ”

Tang Yi measured it, "It seems to be bigger than ordinary books!" ”

Wen Jia didn't say more, and the situation opened. It turned out that inside was an album!

Albums are the most convenient in the form of calligraphy and painting mounting, which is not only easy to read, but also easy to preserve. However, since it is an album, the size is not large, and it is all calligraphy and painting sketches.

The history of the album is not very long, and its origin can only be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at the earliest. At first, in order to solve the problem of the inconvenience of the long scroll, some people used a very crude method, cutting the long scroll, dividing it into pages, and mounting it separately.

However, this seems to be a bit scattered and inconvenient to store. So, he imitated the appearance of the book and framed it into a book.

So, in the beginning, albums were called pages.

Later, this method began to be used among calligraphy and painting collectors, especially to classify calligraphy and painting sketches of similar size into categories and collect them into collections, which is quite good.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, albums were already quite popular. I have to say that calligraphy and painting sketches are easy to be lost, and it is because of this preservation method that many calligraphy and painting sketches since the Tang and Song dynasties have been preserved in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, albums became a fashion, and a new situation emerged, that is, calligraphers and painters began to frame an album first, and then directly inscribed and painted on it.

This is the case with this album in the wooden box.

The inscription on the cover is a flowing line: self-appreciating the picture of eighteen ladies.

"Let's see!" Wen Jia handed the album to Tang Yi. Tang Yi stared at the album tightly, and there seemed to be a surprise in his eyes.

"You won't know whose work it is without opening it, will you?" Wen Jia raised her voice.

"Of course it can't be, but this album is from the Ming Dynasty." Tang Yi said, and opened the album.
