Chapter 275: Cowpea Red (3) (Text)
"Ahem, old man, can we not be in a daze?"
Kong Si really couldn't stand it, and reminded him in a timely manner, this old and young man are going to start being stupid, but I am afraid that he and Xu Shaodong will suffocate to death!
"Good!" Tian Lao came back to his senses, smiled to himself, he already had a fixed opinion in his heart, so he asked, "Have you ever seen Brother Liu?" ”
Xu Shaodong had already called Liu Lao just now, saying that he would visit him later. After hearing this, Tian Lao didn't let them wait longer, went in to change his clothes, and the group went out to Liu Lao's residence.
Originally, Wu Chen also wanted Tian Lao to identify the two artifacts in his hand first, but Tian Lao said that he would talk about it when he went to Brother Liu.
When they arrived at the Zunlong Mansion, it was still the Iron Boss who greeted them.
After going through so much, Wu Chen looked at Boss Tie's half-inch head again, and felt that this guy was not ordinary, he still remembered the scene when Kong Si shook hands with him last time, and he was still smiling secretly in his heart at that time, and it was not a movie, as for it.
However, after seeing Kong Si's skills, he didn't dare to think like this anymore, in his impression, it seemed that he had not been able to tie with Kong Si, and this unattractive man in front of him was able to make Kong Si suffer a dark loss, what kind of existence does this have.
After entering, Liu Lao was waiting for them in the living room, he had just made a set of punches, his face looked ruddy, and his spirit was good, he smiled and greeted Tian Lao back to his seat, and several juniors followed and sat down one by one.
After greeting for a while, Xu Shaodong also reported the recent situation to Liu Lao, he was going to stay here for a few days, first, he could learn something from Liu Lao, and secondly, it was also an excuse, and when he turned around, the old man at home asked, and he also had something to deal with, of course, the most important thing was to find an opportunity to talk to Liu Lao about Wu Chen, and let him take in the apprentices, which was the biggest goal of his trip.
"Good! Excellent!" After listening to this, Liu Lao looked at them with a smile, an old friend of his had just returned from the conference, passed by Guangfu, talked with him freely, and said many new things, many of which were about Wu Chen and the Xu family.
You must know that although this old friend is a woman, she is one of the top figures in the jewelry association, and the young man in the family who is even more powerful and can enter her eyes, there are not many, let alone such a hard compliment.
When Veteran Liu told her about the last Tiansheng Bronze Man, the two of them were even more amazed, they were both high-level leaders in this country, and they loved this profession, so they naturally appreciated Wu Chen's righteous deed.
Wu Chen was still ignorant and unconscious, when Xu Shaodong was telling, he looked at the furnishings in this room, secretly comparing it to his own room, and only woke up after Liu Lao said hello angrily.
A few people gossiped, and Liu Lao asked them if they had gained anything, he had already seen Wu Chen and them bring the box in.
Xu Shaodong shouted exaggeratedly, his tone was very angry, this wood continued to pick up leaks, and let everyone not live. After speaking, they asked Wu Chen to take out the things, and they hadn't seen it before.
"Please give the two old men a look." is also a little familiar with these two old men, Wu Chen is not hypocritical, takes out a bowl and a painting, and puts it on the case.
The painting is rolled, everyone sees the small bowl at first sight, at this time the sun is shining outside, and the room is also full of light, even in the natural light, the faint light red, even and delicate, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Looking closer, the glaze is scattered with natural star-green moss spots, forming a natural changing taste.
"Interesting! Xu Lao Er, you can talk about it. Liu Lao had a smile on his face, he still had some confidence in Xu Shaodong's skills in porcelain, and he also intended to hone this future student for his old friend.
"What's the point, a glance at the object, cowpea red." Xu Shaodong said that his heart was a little sour, he didn't want to compare with Wu Chen, but this porcelain is his old business, he doesn't think that Wu Chen's eyesight is better than himself, but he is a little complaining, why can this wood always meet good objects, but he can't touch it. If nothing else, it's this small bowl, let yourself see it, and you won't miss it.
"Are you sure it's Lao Chao?" Liu Lao looked at him with a smile, but his smile was a little weird, and there was a sense that a child lied and then waited for an adult to guess.
Wu Chen only secretly enjoyed in his heart, this Liu Lao is also full of childlike innocence, this is to trick a few juniors to play! He was not in a hurry at all, no matter how he said it, it was an old object, and it would definitely not be a new imitation, so he made up his mind and sat on the bench to watch.
Xu Shaodong looked suspicious, turned around and took out a pair of gloves from the small room on the side, only then did he get started, and looked up and down, left and right for a long time, that cautious appearance made Wu Chen a little embarrassed, it seemed that he had just grabbed it out of the box with his hands, and he couldn't say that there were still his own paw prints on it!
Small bowl, circle foot, narrow spine, delicate and smooth fetal quality, white glaze in the foot, and then look at the outsole, white glaze under the blue and white material regular script "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" six-line double-line paragraph, what is the problem?
Could it be that Liu Lao is deceiving himself? Thinking of this, he gently put down the small bowl, turned back to Liu Lao and said, "I don't think there is a problem with this bowl." ”
"What do you think?" Liu Lao looked sideways at Wu Chen and Kong Si, and when he saw that they were all nodding, he sighed and said, "Young man, you just don't want to work hard, Brother Tian, you can tell them." ”
"A bunch of dead babies! Such a low-level mistake is made! "Tian Lao is not polite as soon as he exits, Wu Chen is okay, after all, he has not been in contact with this industry for a long time, but Xu Shaodong and Kong Si are the apprentices of the famous "Nantian and Beima"! It's a shame to say this!
"Have you ever seen Kangxi's cowpea red bowl?" Tian Lao said slowly, his tone gradually becoming a little stern, "Which of you will talk about this cowpea red?" ”
Wu Chen and Kong Si still don't have any feelings, Wu Chen is a beginner, and Kong Si has a pair of people who follow Tian Lao blindly, although he has learned a lot of scattered things, but he has never worked hard, not to mention that his heart is extremely strong, and he smiled and passed.
However, when these words were heard in Xu Shaodong's ears, it was like a thunderstorm, and a cold sweat came out, why didn't he even pay attention to this, this is really a shame to go to grandma's house!
Tian Lao's words, woke up the dream, to know that the reason why cowpea red glaze is precious, is because it is more difficult than Lang kiln red firing, so there are no large utensils, the highest is only 24 cm, and the shape of the vessel is less than 10 kinds, mostly for small utensils such as study utensils or furnishings, and the production process is exquisite. Ming's "eight big yards" have chrysanthemum petal bottles, willow leaf bottles, Laihua Zun, Pigtail Dragon Plate, Wash, Taibai Zun, Apple Zun, and Seal Box.
"Bowl?!" Xu Shaodong searched in his mind, but found no record about this, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. The type of vessel is also a very important feature for judging the age, and it is hard evidence, such as holding a Taibai Zun, not Song Dynasty porcelain, that is, bullying people.
Of course, the shape of this small bowl is not absent in the Kangxi Dynasty, but in the traditional cowpea red type, this kind of small bowl has never appeared. If it's a bucket lottery, that's another story.
Xu Shaodong is not ignorant of the way, but under the agitation of the mood, he hurriedly said that, and he didn't study it in detail, now that he has learned a lesson, he feels a little self-pitying, he really capsized in the gutter, this kind of low-level mistake, what else is there to say.
Having said that, if it is another variety, even if it is not registered, as long as there is no mistake, it can be argued, after all, this type of ware and glaze were available in that era, maybe there is such a batch of products, but it is not public, if so, it is more precious.
However, the cowpea red of the Kangxi Dynasty, like the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty, can basically rule out this possibility, because both of them were fired in the current dynasty, produced in small quantities, and exclusively for the emperor's inner court, each of which must be registered.
Could it be the old imitation of Guangxu?
Cowpea red porcelain is a new variety of precious high-temperature copper red glaze derived from Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory imitating Yongle and Xuande red glaze in the Ming Dynasty in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the most exquisite one of all kinds of copper red glaze wares.
Kangxi cowpea red ware heirloom is scarce, and its glazing method is also very special, neither dipping glaze, nor pouring glaze, but "blowing glaze". After Kangxi, cowpea red glaze firing skills were lost, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Qianlong dynasties had imitations, but they were not successful, until the end of the Qing Dynasty Guangxu and the Republic of China, there were imitation Kangxi products.
It's no wonder that Xu Shaodong suddenly thought of the Guangxu period, only the old objects that only exist in these two eras, either/or! Not only him, but even Wu Chen and Kong Si also thought the same way.
If it is an imitation of the Guangxu period, the price is worse than the old nose! You must know that the imitations of this period, although they look similar, but compared with the fine products of the Kangxi Dynasty, they are a lot worse from quality to quality.
Wu Chen, who was sighing secretly, suddenly saw Liu Lao and Tian Lao when he raised his eyes, secretly handing over his eyes, with a wicked smile on his face. My heart moved, it seems that it is not so simple, there must be another hidden secret, these two old men are leading them into the ditch!
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder! Wu Chen looked at the small bowl again, carefully reminisced about the age corresponding to the light, and confirmed that it could not be the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, at least it was also the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Wu Chen kept giving Xu Shaodong a look, but this guy was missing a bit of wit at the moment, and he was thinking hard.
Whether it is the Kangxi "current dynasty" system, or the Guangxu and Republic of China periods, or modern imitations, there are a lot of exquisiteness, and the forgers have also hollowed out their minds to install 'mines' here.
Generally speaking, there are several places worth noting, one is to judge the age of the bottom glaze from details such as the degree of oxidation; Second, look at the chronological characteristics of porcelain fetal bones; Third, look at the payment; The most elusive and elusive point, look at the weight! The official kiln cowpea red, the volume corresponding to the weight is very particular, and the connoisseur will naturally have a little bottom in his heart when he gets started.
No matter from which point of view, he didn't see that this small bowl was a product from the Guangxu period, such a delicate product, even the Kangxi Dynasty, is also rare, especially the red!
