Chapter 824: Gardenia Green Teacup

After looking at it for a while, and finding that it was full of such meaningless quotations, Li Yi turned around and left. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info doesn't need special attention now, and the real intensity should be a few days later, and their nonsense behavior, in addition to making the organizing committee's evaluation of the Chinese people lower, is at most to let the other party clean up the quotation box every day.

Before, Li Yi was not interested in the porcelain exhibition hall, but after discovering the chicken bowl cup and Yuan Qinghua in the auction hall, he couldn't help but look forward to it again. Moreover, the leaks found in the calligraphy and painting gallery also made him feel that perhaps, among those Japanese porcelains, there may also be some considerable leaks.

In the porcelain hall, Li Yi honestly looked at the booths one by one, and he didn't know much about Japanese porcelain, but he could still see whether a thing was old and had a certain value.

Because even if the country is different, even if the external performance is very different, but since it is an antique, there must be a lot of similarities, what he needs to do is to keep using the spirit card to verify, and then compare it with the price in his memory to measure whether this porcelain is worth buying.

Japan is a country that mainly produces pottery, and its history of porcelain production is only more than 400 years, and in terms of the speed of development, they have left China far behind.

As early as the 17th century, due to the chaos of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, porcelain produced in Japan was widely marketed in Europe and was well received. Now, its daily fine porcelain products occupy nearly half of the high-end porcelain market in the United States, and they have also been invited to design and produce large matching food and tea sets for the British royal family for royal use. As a former country of porcelain, most Chinese porcelain can only struggle to survive in some low-end markets.

But if you look at ancient porcelain, Huaxia wins more than just a half-chip. So this phenomenon is worth reflecting on, Li Yi had a plan before, wanting to use the firewood kiln recipe in his hand to see if he could do something for the once glorious Chinese porcelain, but there have been too many things recently, I can't take care of it, I can seriously consider it when I go back this time.

"Arita ware, Imari ware, Kutani ware, Seto ware, Bizen ware, Mino ware...... Sure enough, the variety that appears in this large-scale exhibition is more complete than that of some museums, and the most important thing is that it is possible to have it, which is the charm of large-scale exhibitions! ”

Whether it is porcelain or pottery, the Japanese seem relatively simple, and even a little childish, but it is precisely this different style that makes Li Yi, who is accustomed to seeing exquisite ancient porcelain in China, feel a little pleasing to the eye.

At this time, he did not have the so-called nationality or the so-called national boundaries in his mind, he simply wanted to appreciate beautiful things.

"Is this Nara Sansai?"

Li Yi picked up a three-color pottery in the shape of a storage jar with a lid, the surface of this pottery was only green, black, and gray, and the glaze peeled off in many places, but the quaint atmosphere could not be concealed.

"Sir, this is indeed a Shosoin Sancai, although it is a bit badly damaged, but it is still extremely collectible."

The Shosoin Sansai in the staff's mouth and the Nara Sancai that Li Yi said are the same thing. At the end of the seventh century, after Tang Sancai was transmitted to Japan, it was soon imitated in large quantities. Today, there are more than a dozen places in Japan where Sancai pottery from that era has been excavated. Because most of them have been excavated in Nara, and they are all preserved in Shosoin in Nara, this three-color pottery has these two names.

To be honest, compared with the Japanese three-color pottery and Tang Sancai, whether it is modeling, fetal quality, glaze color, or various techniques, the gap is not a little bit, plus this piece because of poor storage, the glaze peels off badly, not to mention the beauty.

But Li Yi had his own plans, so he finally bought this three-color pottery.

"This one should be a celadon gold color teapot made by Arita ware, right?"

Arita ware was actually created by a Korean who returned from captivity in Goryeo, and it was he who discovered the high-quality porcelain clay in the Arita region and began the firing of porcelain.

Early Arita ware porcelain was not very valuable because of the poor quality and large quantities. The later Arita ware is not very precious, because although it is much more exquisite, there are still a lot of them left because of the large increase in export demand.

The truly precious Arita ware is the one that was fired between the two, from 1637 to 1650, over a period of more than ten years. Because of the large number of porcelain fired in the early stage, the damage to the forest was very serious, and at that time, Saga laid off a large number of porcelain workers, and in 1643, the introduction of the Huaxia red painting color method greatly advanced the quality of Arita ware, and after 1650, because of the need for export, a large number of firing began again.

The Arita ware that Li Yi saw was indeed a piece of Arita ware, and the modeling patterns were quite exquisite, but unfortunately, it was a modern product.

"But this ......"

He soon saw another one, this one was a teacup with a black rim on the rim, the painting on the body of the cup was only green and gray, and the pattern was slightly abstract in the shape of leaves, which looked delicate and beautiful.

It's just that this cup is not just exquisite and beautiful, because the Jianling card told Li Yi that it was actually a real Arita ware produced in those ten years!

"How is this possible? This kind of thing, so openly sold, no one can see it? ”

Maybe he saw him holding the cup for a long time, and he looked like he couldn't put it down, and the staff standing behind the booth enthusiastically introduced, "Sir, this gardenia green tea cup is an imitation of the precious same Arita ware in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum, not only the shape is exactly the same, but also the color is also very similar, the most rare is an old imitation ......"

Li Yi immediately understood that this Nima is simply a copy of another chicken bowl cup! But this is not the same as the chicken bowl cup, that thing may not be known to many people in Japan, this thing, one more minute is dangerous.

"Wrap it up for me."

"Huh? What the? Thank you so much, yes sir! The staff who was still talking about selling cups at length just now didn't react at once, but then he saw the bank card handed over and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Just took the card back from the other party's hand, and before the cup was in his hand, a deep voice suddenly came from behind Li Yi, "This cup can't be sold, this is a national treasure of Japan!" ”

"A national treasure?" The staff was stunned for a moment, holding the cup for a moment, Li Yi reacted quickly and snatched the cup from his hand, he was very happy, fortunately he reacted quickly just now, and paid without any delay, otherwise it would be really a bit troublesome!

"This cup should be from the same era as the gardenia green tea cup at the Tokyo National Museum, and it may even be a product of a kiln, you guys!"

The man took a deep look at the porcelain cup in Li Yi's hand, and yelled at the staff who were still a little dumbfounded, in his opinion, this kind of behavior is simply betraying the country!

"No, it can't be, right? This is what we asked Master Kameda to see, and it's an export item from the late 18th century, and although it's also very collectible, it's really out of line with a national treasure or something. ”

Some of the qualities of the Japanese can be seen from here, although they were reprimanded by strangers, but because the other party was an old man, the staff did not get angry in the slightest, and just tried to explain clearly.

"Which Kameda? Yuzo Kameda or Naruto Kameda? ”

"It's Master Kameda Shisei ......"

"Kameda Shisei?" The man's brows furrowed suddenly, this name seems to have not been heard of much.

Seeing the two of them asking and answering here, Li Yi shrugged his shoulders, turned around and left, anyway, the thing has already arrived in my hands, you can do whatever you like!

"I'm sorry, sir, could you please wait a minute?"

Li Yi stood helplessly, he knew that he couldn't get out! But since they all know that it's trouble, why stop him?

"Sir, excuse me, I'm Yoshiki Nakata from the Tokyo National Museum, can you show me this porcelain in your hand?"

"No problem." Anyway, there are people coming and going here, and Li Yi is not afraid of what the other party is doing, doesn't he just want to confirm whether it is the Tokugawa Iemitsu era? Just look at it, the clearer you see, the better!

"Sure enough, alas, it's all my fault, I should have rushed over the first time Keiko told me, it's all my ......"

Yoshiki Nakata observed carefully for a while, with a look of annoyance. But then, as if he remembered something, he looked up and said to Li Yi: "This gentleman, you are not Japanese, right?" So do you know Japan's regulations regarding precious cultural relics? You can't take this thing out of Japan. ”

Li Yi smiled and nodded, "And then?" ”

"And then? Since you can't take it out of Japan, you have to dispose of it before you return to Japan, sir, I'm very interested in this piece of porcelain, I wonder if you can transfer it to me? ”

"Of course, that's fine, but Mr. Nakata, what price can you get?"

When Li Yi first bought this cup, it only cost 1.28 million yen in total, but now, how many times should this price be appropriate?

Nakata didn't expect Li Yi to be so straightforward, in his opinion, the other party would definitely hesitate for a while, and at least ask someone to inquire about the approximate price. If that's the case, it's easier to deal with, because that means the other party doesn't really know how to do it.

But now, looking at Li Yi's smiling expression, he suddenly felt a chill, Zhen Nyima shouldn't be able to tell the truth for a while, now, I'm afraid he will be slaughtered fiercely! (To be continued.) )
