What Liu Lao took out was a large blue and white jar about 30 cm high, straight, short neck, plump shoulders, bulging belly, and circled feet.

This big jar is dignified and full, and the whole body is painted with blue and white decorations, but the blue and white are lighter in color, gray-blue, and should be made of domestic green materials.

The neck of the large jar is a common honeysuckle pattern, the shoulders are decorated with a peony pattern, the abdomen is painted with a moon-reflecting pine, bamboo and plum pattern, and the feet are surrounded by a circle of deformed lotus petals.

These ornaments, from the layout point of view, adopt the shoulder, abdomen, foot three points of the three-stage layout method, and from the ornamental characteristics, although the painting porcelain skills are slightly rough, several details are not so fine, but under a closer look, you can still feel a thick and clumsy atmosphere.

Li Yi first observed these wholes, and then carefully observed the cloud patterns drawn on the belly of the big jar, and found that it was the painting method of thick lines on the outside and thin lines on the inside that was widely used in the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty, and preliminarily judged that this may be a blue and white porcelain from the late Xuande official kiln.

In addition, the glaze of this large jar is white and flashing blue, and it is slightly watery green at the edge of the glaze, all of which are also in line with the characteristics of the utensils in the Xuande period.

With a rough judgment, Li Yi began to observe the fetal quality of the big jar, but when he tilted the jar on his side and tried to look at the style left at the foot of the circle, he was startled by the two lines of blue and white six-character models that appeared in his sight.

What scared him was the six blue and white italic characters of "Great Tomorrow Shun Year System".

It is well known in the history of Chinese porcelain. There was a famous 29-year "lull". The so-called blank period does not mean that there is no porcelain firing at all, but that there is no porcelain firing. Until now, not a single piece of porcelain with the official kiln year model fired during this period has survived!

This blank period refers to the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, namely Orthodoxy, Jingtai and Tianshun.

At one time, many people in the industry believed that most of the porcelain fired in the "blank period" of the Three Dynasties was a private kiln product, and there was no official kiln ware.

But later, some historical documents show that these three dynasties. It's not that there was no official kiln porcelain, but because the domestic politics and economy were relatively turbulent at that time. In terms of quality and quantity, the porcelain fired by these three dynasties was greatly reduced compared with the Yong and Xuan periods, resulting in a scarcity of heirlooms.

Moreover, it is likely that there have been repeated conflicts within the imperial family over the throne. Therefore, the porcelain produced by the official kiln is also inconvenient to write the year. Therefore, what has been found so far, whether it is a boutique or an ordinary product, almost no style is left.

In Li Yi's memory, it seems that some people have found two lines of six-character ancient porcelain in the Ming Dynasty with "Great Tomorrow Shunnian System" or "Great Tomorrow Shunnian Made", but later they were all verified one by one, these are imitations of the late Ming Dynasty. Although the blue and white furnace of "Tianshun Seven Years Datong Ma's Made" collected by the Xishan Provincial Museum is indeed produced in the Tianshun period, it is not irregular, and it is obviously produced by the folk kiln.

Therefore. Subconsciously, he thought that this should also be an imitation of the late Ming Dynasty. But after thinking about it, if it was just like this, Liu Lao shouldn't have to be so solemn, right......

He carefully observed several important places such as the tire, glaze, and ornamentation of the big jar, and found that it was indeed impossible to judge the subtleties, so he decisively opened the spirit identification card.

A cold current flowed into his body along his fingers, and Li Yi also saw the appraisal conclusion given by the spirit appraisal card clearly at the first time, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the look of surprise in his eyes flashed, this was actually a genuine official kiln porcelain of the Tianshun Dynasty!

"Old Liu, this porcelain seems to be a little weird."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yi said while rubbing his chin.

"Oh? Where's the quirky? ”

"This moon-reflecting pine, bamboo, and plum pattern blue and white jar, whether it is the shape, glaze, ornamentation and blue and white color, all obviously have the characteristics of porcelain in the blank period, but this paragraph is recognized...... Is it really a piece of official kiln porcelain of the Tianshun Dynasty? “

Although the Jianling plate confirmed the authenticity of the porcelain, as the first piece of official kiln porcelain with a blank period to be discovered, it was not easy to prove its identity, and its difficulty was definitely on the Yongle blue and white jar he got before.

Therefore, Li Yi could only express his thoughts in a speculative tone.

"You feel that way, too?"

Hearing Li Yi say this, Liu Lao nodded. This piece of porcelain was purchased by a friend of his by chance a few years ago. At that time, they completed the transaction according to the price of imitation blank period porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty, but later, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it might be a genuine official kiln porcelain in the blank period, and his old buddy, Zhou Mofeng, an authority on porcelain identification, had a similar idea from him.

However, like Li Yi, it is one thing to recognize it, but it is another thing to find evidence to support it and let everyone admit it. Specific to this blue and white jar, if there is no similar porcelain with a clear heritage, then it is almost impossible to justify its name.

Moreover, Liu Lao, Zhou Mofeng and others are also different from Li Yi, Li Yi is because he has a spirit identification card, so he is very sure that this is a real official kiln porcelain in the Tianshun period, and the current judgment of the two of them can only be said to be a suspicion.

Therefore, since the last time he met Li Yi and determined that he was the kind of genius-type appraiser with terrifying keen intuition, Liu Lao had an idea, he wanted Li Yi to see this porcelain.

If, in the end, Li Yi could rely on his terrifying intuition, which had been proven to be almost 100% correct on other objects, to identify that this porcelain was indeed the official kiln porcelain with money in the Tianshun period, then they would also be able to strengthen their confidence.

Although this confidence is also supported by no scientific basis, it is still impossible to announce the true identity of this porcelain, but at least, when studying this aspect of things in the future, it can also be more accurate and more determined to find the right direction.

"Although I do think that this may be a piece of official kiln porcelain with money in the Tianshun period, but Liu Lao, judging from the current situation, unless a large number of similar porcelains are found in ancient tombs or ancient kiln sites, I guess no one dares to draw conclusions......

Liu Lao nodded again and stood up from the stone bench,

"The joy of antiques is not only about verifying the identity and finding out the origin to get everyone's recognition, many times, we collectors are just enjoying ourselves! Okay, now that you've passed the level, then I'll also fulfill my promise, there will be a reward! ”

Seeing the smile on Li Yi's face, Liu Lao smiled and shook his head,

"Happy to hear that there is a reward? But I'll tell you upfront that you can only look at this reward, but you can't take it, because it's so precious! ”

Too precious? Li Yi's interest was picked up at once, and it was definitely an eye-opener for everyone at Liu Lao's level to be judged to be too precious, and it was definitely worth looking forward to!

Just, what kind of good thing will it be?

He shook his head, it's hard to guess, the range is too wide.

Unlike Li Yi's cluelessness, Zhong Haoqing, who was not good at porcelain, had already vaguely guessed what Liu Lao was talking about.

"Old Liu!"

Seeing that she was a little excited, Liu Lao smiled and waved his hand,

"Zhong girl, speaking of which, you still occupy the light of your apprentice!"

Hearing this, Zhong Haoqing immediately knew that she had guessed right, and couldn't help but slap her face excitedly,

"Ha, now, I can finally see the manuscript left by the old man Shiraishi! I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time! ”

Hearing Zhong Haoqing say that the reward prepared by Liu Lao was actually the manuscript left by Qi Baishi, Li Yi was also a little excited. When he didn't study calligraphy and painting before, he only knew how to appreciate it, but since his ink painting level reached the realm of entering the house, he realized that if he could often see the authentic calligraphy and painting of some grandmaster-level figures, it would be a great help for him to improve his level.

However, to his surprise, what Liu Lao took out was not calligraphy and paintings, but two leather-covered notebooks that looked very historical, which was ......

"It's not that I cherish my broom, it's that these two notebooks can't stand the toss of too many people. However, I also know about Xiao Li's learning to paint, and with his qualifications, I think it is indeed necessary for him to take a look, because here, not only some of the past stories of the old man Baishi are recorded, but more importantly, it is some of his experiences in painting. ”

Hearing that these two notebooks actually recorded a lot of experiences from the old man Baishi when he was painting, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he still finds time to practice calligraphy and Chinese painting every day recently, I don't know if it's because he has reached a bottleneck or because there are too many things to do and he is not calm, anyway, his level is not only no longer as rapid as before, but even has a little bit of stagnation.

Zhong Haoqing and Hu Jinquan can't solve this problem, they can only think that he has entered a relatively stable accumulation period, but Li Yi always feels that he should still have the ability to go further, but he needs an opportunity.

And these two notebooks are likely to be the opportunity for him to break through!

Carefully taking a notebook from Liu Lao's hand, Li Yi returned to the stone bench he had just sat on and looked at it carefully.

This should be an ordinary handmade leather notebook, because of the age, the color has changed to a deep black, so that the handwriting on it is a little unclear.

"Your book is written on the grass hall self-treasure, and your master's book is written on the passage of time. These two books are the two books left by the old man Baishi with more experience, and although there are a few others, most of them record trivial matters and the creation age of some works, which should not be of much help to you. ”

Hearing Liu Lao's explanation, Li Yi carefully identified the handwriting on the cover, and then habitually opened the spirit identification card.

There is no cool air flowing in, and the identification conclusion of the spirit card is also normal, this is an ordinary notebook left by the old man Baishi.

However, because of the existence of perspective, Li Yi saw at a glance that in the cowhide cover of this notebook, there was a small note with a yellowed color! (To be continued.) )
