Chapter 110: Peerless Treasure

The black gilt silverware in front of him, although it has lost some years of color, but there is a kind of grandeur that cannot be concealed in the charm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is an object that belongs to the wide opening of the door, and at a glance you can feel its deep historical heritage and precious value.

Ma Xiaozhao's heart stirred up a wave of indescribable shock and shock.

From a different angle, she carefully admired this silverware inside and out, and the more she looked at it, the more shocked she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this silverware was very similar to the top national treasure in the Chang'an History Museum - Tang gilt parrot pattern handle silver jar!

The size of the silver jar in front of me is taller than the one in the history museum, with a height of nearly 30 centimeters and a diameter of nearly 20 centimeters.

Its appearance is a large mouth and short head, the belly of the tank is round, the flared ring foot, the movable handle is inserted into the two gourd-shaped appendages welded on the shoulder of the tank, and the handle is decorated with a diamond-shaped pattern.

The whole body of the can is decorated with parrots as the main body and folded branches around the perimeter, forming two groups of balanced circular patterns. The parrot spreads its wings among the flowers, smart and lovely, lifelike, decorated on both sides of the handle jar, and the rest of the blank space is dotted with a single broken branch.

From the point of view of technology, this silver can adopts at least 7 processes, such as hammering, casting, cutting, polishing, engraving, gold painting, and welding.

It can be seen that the maker was a very intelligent and skilled craftsman, and the ingenuity is unique, and it is likely that this silver jar was a court article.

If it is like the gilded silver jar in the history museum, it is an old object of the Tang Dynasty, then the value of this silver jar is boundless!

Since Chen Xiaozao stepped into the door of the Treasure Hall this afternoon, Ma Xiaozhao has been guessing what kind of treasure Chen Xiaozao has in his bag.

But she would never have thought that Chen Xiaozao would actually stuff such a peerless treasure in her bag without any protective measures!

Does this guy know that this is likely to be an old object from the Tang Dynasty? Why such a casual package!

He just said that he wanted to buy BYD Tang and liked Tang Dynasty, so he was deliberately telling her, right?

Ma Xiaozhao silently glanced at Chen Xiaozao, and seemed to read something from Chen Xiaozao's secretive demeanor.

She guessed that Chen Xiaozao had a good chance of knowing the origin of this treasure.

According to her cognition and understanding, it is almost impossible for this kind of old object with a wide door to open the door from the people.

This jar is so eye-catching, anyone with a little eyesight can see that this is a top-notch baby!

As soon as this thing sees the light, it will definitely be snatched away by all kinds of big collectors.

Chen Xiaozao brought it to their Treasure Hall today, and it is likely that this thing is the first time it has seen the market.

I remember that Ma Fulong told her that the smell of Chen Xiaozao and Jindeli is not quite right, and they are very similar to tomb robbers with Taoism.

Ma Xiaozhao guessed from this that there was a great chance that this silver pot was just opened by Chen Xiaozao from the tomb!

If Chen Xiaozao is a tomb robber who is a bit of a Taoist, he must have been to the Chang'an History Museum and must have known something about antiques.

He must have known that the shape of this silver pot was exactly the same as the national treasure in the museum, and even larger and more precious than the size of that national treasure!

The gilded parrot pattern handle silver jar in the Chang'an Museum is the most atmospheric and exquisite one of the Tang Dynasty silver jars known so far.

But in front of Chen Xiaozao's larger and more exquisite silver pot, that national treasure is not worth mentioning at all!

If that silver pot is a national treasure, then this silver pot is a peerless treasure!

Of course, the premise of all this is that this silver pot is really an old object of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is an imitation fake, then it will be Low.

There are many ways to tell the age of this antique.

The most commonly used one is to judge by experience.

According to Ma Xiaozhao's experience and eyesight, she feels that the charm of this silver kettle is extraordinary, and the irreproducible sense of vicissitudes engraved on it is even more commendable.

The probability that this thing is genuine is too great.

I can't help but become overwhelmed.

On the surface, he was very calm, Ma Xiaozhao asked Chen Xiaozao tentatively: "Mr. Chen, can I ask more, where did you get this big silver jar?" ”

"What do you think?" Chen Xiaozao asked Ma Xiaozhao rhetorically.

"I've never seen a silver jar this big, so I can't guess where it came from."

"With your eyesight, which dynasty do you think this is a thing?"

Ma Xiaozhao heard Chen Xiaozao's meaning, it was impossible not to know the year of this silver pot, so he didn't play sloppy with Chen Xiaozao, and said: "Your silver pot looks very similar to the Tang gilt parrot pattern handle silver pot in the History Museum, and there is a high probability that it is from the Tang Dynasty." ”

Chen Xiaozao nodded and asked further, "Are there any significant features of the silverware of the Tang Dynasty?" On this piece of silver? ”

"The gold and silver objects of the Tang Dynasty were often ornate and exquisite, and the craftsmanship was intricate and delicate. At that time, the handicraft industry had widely adopted gold-plating, casting, welding, cutting, polishing, riveting, plating and other processes, and the manufacturing process reached a very high level. In terms of the molding of utensils, in addition to casting, the Tang Dynasty mostly used the hammer molding method, and this silver jar is a typical hammer molding. ”

Ma Xiaozhao took the silver jar on the coffee table as an example and said: "In fact, as an intuitive image, the shape and decorative theme of gold and silverware not only play a role in beautifying the utensils, but also reflect certain characteristics of the times to varying degrees. This silver jar has a large mouth, a short neck, a bulging belly and a round belly, a flared ring foot, two gourd-shaped appendages on the shoulders of the can, and the handle is inserted and welded into the appendages, the whole shape gives people a thick and full sense of beauty, which is easy to remind people of the Tang Dynasty's fashion of the times when fat was the beauty and advocating strength and healthy beauty. ”

Chen Xiaozao nodded in approval. He also thinks so, such a fat Yonghua silver pot, I am afraid that only the Tang Dynasty people are the most respected.

Ma Xiaozhao continued: "The decorative theme of this silver jar is a parrot. Because of its beauty and eloquence, parrots were one of the favorite pets of the princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty. "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor" recorded: "In the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Lingnan offered white parrots, and the palace was tamed for a long time, intelligent and insightful of words, and the concubines all called 'Snow Cloth Niang'". It can be seen that the reason and extent of people's love for parrots at that time. As a result, parrots became a subject that craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty were happy to express. This is also one of the remarkable characteristics of this silver pot. ”

Ma Xiaozhao looked at the lifelike parrot on the tank and exclaimed: "Look at the depiction of this parrot, it is ready to fly, fresh and plump, it is so vivid; The complexity and moderation of the various plant patterns and the different forms not only bring out the vitality of the parrot, but also show the craftsmen's pursuit of a better life - the pomegranate represents many seeds, honeysuckle and curly grass symbolize prosperity, and the grapes produced in the Western Regions should be a reflection of ethnic friendship and peaceful life. This silver pot is most likely from the Tang Dynasty. ”

It was really unbearable to bear the shock and doubts in his heart, Ma Xiaozhao broke the rules of the Zangzhen Hall, and asked Chen Xiaozao with a little nervousness: "Mr. Chen, I'll guess casually, don't take it to heart, I don't mean anything, I just want to help judge the year of this silver pot." Is your silver pot a bright vessel that has been opened from the ground? ”
