Chapter 59 Yangxian Celadon
Compared with the porcelain of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the original celadon presents a kind of simple and natural beauty, although there is no gorgeous decoration, there is no standard shape, but the kind of porcelain that is easily pinched by hand also has a sense of savoring.
When everyone was still talking about the black glaze jar, the second session had reached the end stage, and at this time, the old collector Chen Caiyuan also came to the stage.
Although in the first game, Chen Caiyuan did not come up with any precious antiques, but with decades of collecting experience and the fame of old collectors, no one dares to underestimate him, after all, he is also a person who has won two championships, and in the antique industry, the older a person is, the more eyesight he has, and what he eats is seniority, and this kind of experience accumulated for decades is enough to create all kinds of miracles.
Chen Caiyuan walked up to the stage slowly, and the staff followed him and hugged the wooden box, which was not large, so it was not a large item.
After the wooden box was opened, a four-series pot appeared in front of everyone.
This pot is less than 20 cm high, washed, with a long neck, plump shoulders, a bulging belly and adduction, and a flat bottom. Two strings are carved on the shoulders, and a bridge-shaped button is decorated on each side to tie the rope.
Whether it is a four-series pot or a four-series jar, there have been many pieces in the exhibits taken out by the contestants, whether it is celadon white porcelain or black porcelain, everyone is a little boring to see, but this one is bright, but people can't help but shine.
The body of this four-series pot is covered with a blue-yellow glaze layer, and on this layer of glaze is scattered with brown spots, the area of brown color spots is very large, from the bottle mouth down the stream, through the long neck, from the body of the pot to flow down, its form is ever-changing, or like splashing ink, or like leaves, intermittent, each brown spot is different, but it is related like flowing water, and the decorative effect is beautiful.
The word Qili could not be used on the original celadon, just because the original celadon embodies the simple and natural beauty, however, it is not an exaggeration to describe this celadon with Qili.
Not to mention that the audience was dazzled, the contestants and judges also nodded again and again, and picked up the four-series pots one by one to carefully identify them, and they were also amazed in their mouths, and then determined that this four-series pot with blue glaze and brown spots was undoubtedly a unique product.
Once the porcelain is judged to be a unique product, then the value will rise sharply, the only one in the world, the antique is originally rare and expensive, and the value of the unique product is naturally high.
What's more, in addition to being a unique product, this four-series pot also presents a difference from ordinary primitive celadon, that is, the brilliant color, which can be called rare.
As soon as he saw the porcelain that Chen Caiyuan took out, Tong Qizhou's brows couldn't help frowning, and he secretly felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, after several discussions, the judges gave an estimate of 7.5 million.
There was a sensation in the venue again, and many people couldn't help but stand up and pick up binoculars, wanting to see the porcelain in the hands of the judges more clearly.
After Chen Caiyuan stepped down, the contestants behind him came to the stage one after another, but it was difficult for the price of the collection to reach a high level, let alone more than 7 million, not even 4 million.
Half an hour later, it was finally Zhao Zhuo's turn to take the stage.
Zhao Zhuo walked up to the stage slowly, and the people in the venue suddenly started to talk again, many of the audience who watched the first show remembered this thrilling young man, he took out the imitation enamel porcelain in the first scene, almost shocked the audience and the judges were in a cold sweat, although the final identification was indeed an imitation, and the price was difficult to compare with the highest price of the collection, but the impression was not deep.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Zhuo appeared, many people became interested again, and they focused their eyes on him, wanting to see what kind of collection he was going to take out this time.
Zhao Zhuo didn't ask the staff to help, he walked up with the wooden box in his arms, and then opened it in front of everyone.
As soon as the wooden box was unveiled, the audience who was still interested suddenly let out a disappointed voice, just because the porcelain that Zhao Zhuo took out was a very ordinary blue-glazed sheep's head pot.
The spout is a shallow plate, with a thin neck, a spherical belly, a sheep's head-shaped flow on one side of the shoulder, and a handle behind it, which is covered with a turquoise glaze.
The celadon pot of the Six Dynasties period often uses the head of the animal as a stream, and the style of the body of the pot is also very simple and simple, like this green glazed sheep's head pot is a common thing for ordinary people at home in the era at that time, it can be said that it is everywhere, and it has been handed down to modern times, and the number is also very large, although this pot type is quite regular, and the glaze color can also be said to be complete, but at best it is only tens of thousands of things.
Tong Dongyang's face also showed a disdainful expression, and sneered: "It seems that I really overestimated this kid, the imitation enamel porcelain last time was quite passable, and this time I actually took a piece of celadon casually, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth." ”
Tong Feiyu couldn't hide his smile and mocked: "That is, it is better to buy a random thing in the ghost market than such a thing, it is really not an ordinary shame to put such a thing on this occasion, I want to see how he can raise his head in the future." ”
Fang Youming, who was not far away, was also holding his arms with a playful smile on his face, waiting for the judges to evaluate the price, and then to see what Zhao Zhuo's face was.
On the other side, Ji Xiaofan was also taken aback and said, "How can Brother Zhao take such a common porcelain to compete?" He's not kidding, is he? ”
Ji Yuan and Cui Shiyan were also stunned, they didn't figure it out for a while, but Jing Yao shook his head lightly and said, "With Zhao Zhuo's eyesight, it's impossible not to see the value of this porcelain, right?" Besides, with his eyesight, even if he looks away, it must be a porcelain that is very realistic and of high value. ”
As soon as he said this, Cui Shiyan nodded emphatically and said: "Xiao Yao is right, my junior brother has become a fine character, how can he be looked away by such a porcelain, if I guess correctly, there must be a ghost in this porcelain!" ”
Ji Yuan also bowed his head in agreement, and said with a slight smile: "Then let's take a closer look, what kind of ghost is hidden in this porcelain?" ”
Several people then stared at the blue-glazed sheep's head pot together, looking at the bottle mouth, neck and shoulders, belly bottom and other parts seriously.
At this time, this blue-glazed sheep's head pot also came into the hands of the first judge, who was also a prestigious old collector in Baicheng, and the old collector also had some impression of Zhao Zhuo, after all, he could distinguish the imitation enamel porcelain, and he had extraordinary eyesight.
So he was also full of expectations when Zhao Zhuo came on the field, but when he saw that he took out a mediocre blue-glazed sheep's head pot, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It's just that when he casually took the blue-glazed sheep's head pot, his brows suddenly furrowed, not for anything else, just because the weight of this pot seemed to be much heavier than expected.
The weight of porcelain is closely related to the porcelain fetus, different fetal quality, the quality is different, which is also one of the important criteria for judging whether the porcelain is a fake, so the senior appraiser only needs to weigh the porcelain by hand, through its weight, combined with eyesight, etc., you can preliminarily judge whether the porcelain is genuine or fake.
This blue-glazed sheep's head pot is not big, the height is about 20 centimeters, and the diameter is only 10 centimeters.
However, as soon as this pot was in hand, there was a heavy and thick feeling, and the old collector felt a little strange, and reached out to touch the porcelain fetus, and the confusion in his eyes was deeper.
Whether it is the Shang and Zhou dynasties or the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the production process of the original celadon is quite rough, and it cannot reach the level of modern celadon at all, so its porcelain is very rough and hard.
However, when the porcelain of this pot is touched by hand, it feels delicate and flexible, which is completely different from the porcelain tire of the original celadon.
The old collector's first thought was that this porcelain was a fake, however, this idea was suddenly extinguished by him, because the glaze of this porcelain is a typical green glaze of the Six Dynasties, and the overall shape, craftsmanship and texture are by no means modern imitations.
But if it's genuine, how can this porcelain tire be so heavy and delicate and flexible?
The old collector carefully analyzed this porcelain fetus again, it looked brown, but it was a little reddish-purple, he suddenly remembered something, stood up at once, and blurted out: "This is Yangxian celadon!" ”
The judges next to him were actually a little puzzled, not knowing that the old collector had been frowning since he got the porcelain, and he didn't know what was difficult about the porcelain that could be seen thoroughly at a glance.
However, when the four words Yangxian celadon came out, the judges were taken aback, and the nearest judge was surprised: "This is really Yangxian celadon?" ”
The old collector was silent, but carefully handed over the porcelain pot in his hand.
Ji Yuan and Cui Shiyan looked at each other and smiled, and the latter laughed and said: "I said that there must be ghosts, but I didn't expect it to be Yangxian celadon, my brother's hand is so beautiful, not to mention ordinary players, even we have been blinded." ”
Ji Yuan smiled and said: "No wonder you can't see the result with your eyesight, if you don't touch this porcelain fetus, it's really difficult to distinguish." ”
Jing Yao smiled, she was not surprised at all by the development of things, after getting along for so long, miracles were like synonymous with Zhao Zhuo, where he walked there, there would be miracles.
Tong Dongyang and the others were taken aback, the disdainful attitude just now was swept away, and the rest were surprised, and their eyes widened one by one, as if they didn't believe that this seemingly ordinary blue-glazed sheep's head pot was actually the legendary Yangxian celadon.
The audience in the venue whispered one after another, and they still couldn't figure out the situation, let alone what the origin of this Yangxian celadon was.
