Chapter 237: Blank Porcelain

People who have seen Ru porcelain in the National Palace in Taipei often see the word "Fenghua" on Ru porcelain. Ru porcelain, which has appeared in the mainland, also has the word "Cai".

"Fenghua" is the name of the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, the side hall of the Deshou Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, is the place where Liu Guifei, the favorite concubine of Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, lives, and many Ru kilns that write "Fenghua" are used by Liu Guifei herself.

Liu Guifei was originally the daughter of a restaurant and came from a humble background, but she was beautiful and graceful, and she had the appearance of captivating the country and the city. Huizong is very fond of the Liu family and is inseparable from her. It is recorded in the history books that Liu's talent is bright, good at meeting Huizong, and she is a little talented, can paint, she has two chapters, one large and one small, engraved with the word "Fenghua", in a famous painting that has been collected by Liu Guifei.

Looking at the word "Fenghua" of Ru porcelain, the engraving method of its font is like the hand of a person, and it is also engraved by the court workers, so the general scholars believe that the "Fenghua" Ru porcelain is the personal use of the emperor to reward Liu Guifei. In addition to Ru kiln, the bottom of the Ding kiln and Jun kiln has also been found to be engraved with the word "Fenghua".

Another style on Ru porcelain is the word "Cai". In the collection of the Palace Museum, there is a Ru kiln plate engraved with the word "Cai", and the word "Cai" is generally coated with purple and brown tire glaze, and the color is deep.

Ru porcelain is exclusively used by the court, so to be able to own Ru porcelain generally depends on the emperor's reward. In the Song Dynasty, there may be only two Cai who can collect Ru kiln porcelain, one is Cai Jing, the prime minister of Huizong, the Beijing official to Sikong, worship the Taishi, ranking above 10,000 people under one person, and the chance of getting the emperor's reward is greater than ordinary people, so that there will be many opportunities to get Ru kiln porcelain, and Cai Jing has engraved the surname "Cai" to make a proud memory. The other was Cai Jing's son, Cai Xuan, who was the concubine of Huizong, who had visited his mansion seven times and bestowed countless treasures.

There is also the words "A, B, and C", but none of them were engraved at that time, but were added later.

"It's rare that Master Kazama comes all the way once, I'll be the east at night, let's have a good chat!"

Wu Tianyuan was happy, this time Wang Jun collected information in advance, and found that Tan Jing imitated the mountain Ming from this old man Kazama, so he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity, take a good coercion, and slowly pull him into the water!

Kazama nodded dejectedly, there is no way, the handle is in the hands of others, if you really spread the news by yourself? Not to mention discredited, even life is in danger!

There are countless treasures that have been identified by themselves in the past 30 years, and the royal family also believes in themselves because of this, in case they know the truth? There is only one dead end!

In the evening, he went to the banquet like a walking corpse, listening to Yasuda's very meaningful words on the side, he simply didn't do anything, since he was already on the thief ship, let's do it together!

"It's a blessing for me to be able to make friends with a master like Master Kazama! Come, I'll give you a drink! ”

Wu Tianyuan didn't expect the old man to be so good, and the rhetoric he originally prepared was useless, so he surrendered directly! It's okay, there is another traitor, Yasuda, Yamanaka Hiroaki, Fujita, and now Kazama, all four of them are well-known figures in the Japanese antique circle. Especially Kazama, he is highly respected and respectful.

"Rest assured, Tianyuan-kun is the strongest collaborator, and I have always been taken care of by him"

Yasuda said demagoguously: "In the future, let's work together, and we will definitely be prosperous and financial!" ”

The next day, when the Japanese were sent away, Wu Tianyuan played with Ru kiln and Ge kiln, and the Ge kiln tires were purple and black, iron black, and yellow-brown. The glaze is a transparent opaque glaze, the glaze is covered with a layer of crisp light, the glaze color is fried beige, gray and blue, the glaze size is combined, the large grain is dark brown after dyeing, and the small grain is yellow-brown, also known as 'gold wire iron wire', "ink plum blossom piece", "leaf vein pattern", "civil and military piece" and so on.

The kiln has iron feet, the glaze is smooth and broken, and the style characteristics are similar to those of the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. Ge kiln ware is famous for its stripes, most of which are black and yellow, commonly known as gold wire.

"Now all of a sudden, we have all the five famous kilns, Brother Ruguan, Junding!"

Hu Jianmin said excitedly: "Ru kiln Fenghua has one more model, the official kiln has one more Southern Song Dynasty Xiu Neisi kiln, Jun kiln has one more one, two, four models, and the brother kiln is an official and a new official!" ”

Wu Tianyuan carefully put them into the cabinet, the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are generally small vessels, except for the Jun kiln, which has a large one, the others are small things. In particular, the study utensils are convenient for the emperor to play with and appreciate at any time.

"Now in the Song Dynasty, we have two exhibition halls, one is the first Emperor Wen of the ages, and the special session of Song Huizong! The second is the five major porcelain, which is now beginning to take shape, and the rest is to continue to supplement and improve, take your time! ”

Wu Tianyuan was relaxed, the rest of the money from the polar bear yesterday also arrived, since he became the boss, his strength and contacts have increased a lot, and ten tons of gold can be digested in less than a week.

Calculate that you have billions of funds in your hands, and you can be willful a few times! Let Hiroaki Yamanaka continue to inquire if there are any big collectors in Japan who pack their collections? As long as the thing is good, the price is not a thing!

"Hey, I still don't have the strength now, and if I have money in the future, I can buy a museum directly!"

Ma Weidu recently spent more than 100 million yuan to acquire a private museum in Italy, which is just a bookmark collection and is very niche. 100 million is not a lot of money, but it is also a precedent.

These are all later words, if you have money, you can naturally be willful, and now you have to work hard, Wu Tianyuan cleaned up his mood, and this morning he had nothing to do, and came to Panjiayuan to walk around.

"Tom, this is the largest antique market in China, with thousands of stalls, and more than 100,000 people come here every day to shop for treasures, right?"

Tom looked at the crowded crowd and was shocked, after more than half a month of running-in, they have become accustomed to each other, and the relationship is becoming more and more familiar.

If there is a treasure hunt in the wild, Tom will gather all fifteen members to go out, and usually ten bodyguard tasks are enough. Five people followed Wu Tianyuan, and the rest followed Sun Yuyao, who was very safe in the country and basically had nothing to do.

"Curator Wu, are you here to take a look?"

There are many connoisseurs who greet each other along the way, and those who don't know each other know Wu Tianyuan, plus a few big men and stars hold the moon to follow, and they are a big star traveling.

"Hey, it's not good to be famous now, and it's difficult to pick up a leak!"

Wu Tianyuan turned around, there were originally a few small leaks, all of them were Ming Dynasty kilns, and one of them was really a fine product. But when you ask the price, the stall owner doesn't sell it directly! Say you want to collect it? Also drunk!

He shook his head and continued to wander, in fact, it was just for fun, and now it is not as easy to pick up leaks from the stalls as it is to go to the wild to hunt for treasures. People are monkey spirits, how can there be any missed pickups?

Just when Wu Tianyuan was a little disappointed, walked to the last row of stalls, and wanted to leave. Suddenly, my ears moved, and I wandered to a small stall, squatted down and picked up a black porcelain pen holder, and studied it.

"You really have a vision, this is a pen holder in the late Qing Dynasty, although there is no knowledge, but it is definitely to the generation!"

The young man spoke in a northeastern accent, as if he didn't know Wu Tianyuan, and when he saw a rare guest, he enthusiastically introduced him.

"How much?"

Wu Tianyuan cut the price for a while, took it for 2,000, left the market happily, returned to the museum and began to clean up the pen holder.

"It's rare, the official kiln of the blank period of the Ming Dynasty, it's the first time I've seen it!"

The blank period, also known as the dark period, in the history of Jingdezhen porcelain, it is generally pointed out that the orthodoxy, Jingtai, Tianshun, 1436-1464 period, because there is no porcelain with the official kiln in the Three Dynasties period survived, and the porcelain seen is produced by the kiln, so it is called the "official kiln blank period".

Judging from the above documents, both official and private kilns were fired during this period. However, there is no official kiln porcelain with an annual model in the heirloom so far, and the porcelain seen is produced by the private kiln, so the academic community has the "blank period" and "black three generations" said.

In fact, the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty were produced by official kilns, the main reason was that the imperial family had repeated conflicts due to the imperial throne, so the porcelain produced by the official kiln in Jingdezhen was inconvenient to write the year at this time, so the porcelain of these three dynasties was often assigned to Xuande in various museums or private collections.

Due to the nearly 30 years after the Xuande Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, a series of political changes took place, resulting in the decline of the country, internal and external troubles, economic depression, people's livelihood withering, and social turmoil. In such a situation, the production of porcelain industry in Jingdezhen has also been greatly affected, and the level of porcelain making and the quality of porcelain have declined significantly compared with Yongle and Xuande in the previous dynasties.

Lao Ren looked at the pen holder and sighed: "I found a Ming Dynasty blank period porcelain with a chronological model in Guangdong in the early years, that thing is the orthodox eight years of blue and white pen holder, the overall shape of the vessel is a convex five peaks connected to the mountain cluster type, hollow, on one side of a mountain peak and the back of the pen holder each have a round hole, can be filled with water for water bowls. Behind the main peak of the pen holder, there is a "orthodox year" paragraph. The glaze of the pen holder is thick, and the white is yellowish. ”

After Wu Tianyuan finished communicating with the pen holder, he concluded: "The carcass of porcelain in the blank period is relatively thick, the fetal quality is fine and white and moist, and the glaze color is mostly white and shiny blue, bright and transparent, and the degree of vitrification is high. There are also gray in the green, and the bright ones are the cobalt materials stored in Xuande, and there are also rust spots. ”

He asked Lao Ren to put the pen holder into the Ming Relics Hall to display, and a comparison clearly saw a huge difference, which was far from the time of Yongle Xuande. But it is also a representative of a special period, and it is collected. (To be continued.) )
