Chapter 45 Bolingdi Porcelain

This is a large blue and white plate with cloud dragon pattern, with a diameter of about 40 centimeters, an open folded edge, an arc belly, and a circle foot.

The decoration in the plate is divided into three layers, the plate is decorated with cotton patterns, the wall decoration is the peony pattern of folding branches, and the theme decoration is the cloud dragon catching the pearl pattern, only to see its dragon body vigorous, open the mouth and open the eyes, vivid and general.

Zhao Zhuo nodded again and again, and almost couldn't help but praise it, this large plate is very exquisite from the modeling, glaze, painting to blue and white hair color, it is simply a rare blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.

"This seems to be the blue and white cobalt material of Su Ma Liqing." Mo Ling said in surprise.

"That's not something that ordinary people can use." Zhao Zhuo secretly rejoiced.

The so-called cobalt material is an important ingredient used for color, and the content of cobalt is directly related to the quality of the color of the green material, which determines the value of blue and white porcelain.

The cobalt material used to color blue and white porcelain can be divided into domestic and imported materials, and the imported materials were actually used in the Tang Dynasty, when they were imported from West Asia. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the Song people began to study domestic cobalt earth ore, but because it was still in its infancy, the number of unearthed Song Qinghua has not been much.

By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, imported materials and domestic materials have been widely used, Su Ma Liqing is one of the imported materials, which imported materials from the Islamic region of the Middle East, to the middle of the Ming Dynasty has been extinct.

The material is very precious, the hair color is dignified, the indigo is gorgeous, like a sapphire, and it cannot be used by non-senior painters. However, although its color is stable, but in the selection of mud, tires, glaze and other aspects are also very particular, so the cost is high, the process is strict, the production volume is not large, at that time it was very precious, since this blue and white porcelain plate is used such a high-quality cobalt material, it may be the official kiln out of the top grade, if it is the official kiln product, then there must be a sense of the circle.

However, when he turned over the blue and white plate and observed the circle foot, he couldn't help but be really stunned, just because he saw that the circle foot was not an ordinary style engraved with it, but a porcelain plaque, which was unilateral and horn-shaped, like a jade plaque.

The porcelain plaque is painted with the cyan archway, the archway column is painted like a double dragon holding the pillar, the dragon is a three-clawed dragon, the color is not the same as the ordinary green material, it is likely to be painted with imported green material, the color is dignified, very exquisite, extremely vivid. It seems to be soaring through the clouds and fog, and the majesty is compelling.

Write the inscription "Qian's descendants remember" in the memorial arch, the font is the main book with a slight charm of the book, the word is also clear, there is a beautiful atmosphere in the vigor, on the side of the text, the inscription font of "Bolingdi" is stamped.

As soon as he saw Bo Lingdi, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but sigh secretly, and his heart suddenly went up and down, and Mo Ling's expression on the side became a little complicated.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo's expression change instantly, Han Duoer couldn't help but be curious: "What's the matter, isn't it a fake?" ”

Li Lede also stared with wide eyes, his palms were a little sweaty, he knew very well that if a rare treasure was unearthed, it would be a big deal for the whole village, but if it was a fake, it would be worthless, and the difference between them was simply worlds apart.

Zhao Zhuo said with an embarrassed face: "It can be said to be genuine, or it can be said to be a fake." ”

"What does that mean?" The two were confused.

Zhao Zhuo picked up the blue and white plate and pondered it, and asked, "Have you ever heard of the Guiguzi Descending Mountain Jar?" ”

Han Duoer and Li Lede both glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Zhao Zhuo explained: "It is a large blue and white jar of the Yuan Dynasty, the body of the jar is painted with the story of the historical figures of Guiguzi descending the mountain, decorated with imported cobalt materials, in good condition, very rare, and it was auctioned at an auction house in London a few years ago for a high price of 14 million pounds." ”

Han Duoer's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was surprised: "Isn't that more than 200 million yuan?" ”

Li Lede couldn't help but sigh and said: "Just one jar can be sold for more than 200 million, which is really a sky-high price." ”

Zhao Zhuo bowed slightly: "Since Guiguzi went down the mountain and fetched a sky-high price of more than 200 million yuan in the world, Yuan Qinghua has become popular in the domestic market, and at this time, there is a very peculiar porcelain, experts think it is fake, and collectors think it is real, this is Bolingdi porcelain." ”

Han Duoer and the others were even more confused when they heard it: "Why does this kind of porcelain produce two completely different judgments? ”

Zhao Zhuo explained carefully: "Bolingdi's porcelain series is quite numerous, there are blue and white, blue and white glaze red, glaze red and blue, red and green color, blue and white color, enamel color, and so on different styles, different craft varieties, its vessel type can also be said to be quite rich, the decoration is also the same, there are historical stories, opera characters, fairy road maps, cloud dragon maps, the same is that at the bottom of the porcelain of Bolingdi are glued with a kind of porcelain plate that records some text content, just like the bottom of the large plate in my hand. ”

The two nodded their heads and continued to listen with interest.

Zhao Zhuo said: "These porcelains are extensive, and the cards are rich and colorful, but there is no record in the domestic historical materials, and these things were suddenly discovered from the ground in the same year after the Guiguzi went down the mountain to auction the sky-high price, especially in that year and the next year, a lot of Bolingdi porcelain was found almost overnight, the number is to be counted in dozens, and the next year is even more, so far, Bolingdi's porcelain has hundreds of thousands of pieces." ”

Han Duo'er listened suspiciously: "Hearing you say this, it's really a little weird, could it be that someone burned so much porcelain and buried it underground to be discovered?" ”

Zhao Zhuo shook his head slightly and said: "Facts have proved that the porcelain craftsmanship of Bolingdi is extraordinary, whether it is painting, glaze, shape, and carving, it is quite standard, if this is a high imitation, then the manufacturer can be fired into any kind of regular Yuan blue and white, so as to sell it at a sky-high price." You know, the positive Yuan blue and white shape is regular, the style is also square, but this kind of Bolingdi porcelain, the decoration is complex, and the porcelain plate is pasted at the bottom to make the style, but deliberately fired into an unprecedented style, enough to make people doubt that the new product is not a snake to add to the snake? ”

Han Duoer couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and Li Lede speculated: "Then say so, is it genuine?" ”

Zhao Zhuo did not answer directly, but continued: "On the bottom porcelain plate of Bolingdi porcelain, except for the surname and the number of porcelain devices, the other contents are basically the same, take this porcelain as an example, you see, it reads, 'I lost my father and mother when I was a child, and I was an apprentice in Fuliang alone', "Mengtian loves a son in his twilight years", in fact, these words can also be seen in other Bolingdi porcelain, these words are a person's life experience at a glance, but why is it that even the life history of different names is the same, And if it's a uniform text format, there's no need to write these things. ”

The more Han Duoer listened, the more confused she became, and said, "Speaking of which, it really makes people suspect that it is fake." ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded and said: "What's even more surprising is that most of the first discoveries of Bolingdi porcelain are Yuan blue and white, but the ones found later have glaze red, even the colorful, fahua, and gold-painted ones have it, and the payment has also developed from the year to the year, as if it is following the times, what you want to find, it will appear." ”

Li Lede couldn't help but change color a little when he heard this: "This is too suspenseful to say." ”

Zhao Zhuo sighed: "That's true, there are too many unsolved suspense in Bolingdi, so the price in the market is also very different, it is possible to receive one for hundreds or even thousands of yuan, but if it is brought to the auction house, the price is tens of millions." ”

Han Duoer sighed lightly: "The price difference is too big, does anyone buy tens of millions?" ”

Zhao Zhuo bowed slightly: "Of course some people buy it, but the people who buy it are a very small number of collectors, and there are many unsold lots, after all, the antique world has not yet reached a conclusion on whether the porcelain of Bolingdi is real or fake." Moreover, because it is now vague in life, so many people can also receive the price is not high, hundreds or thousands of numbers are not painful, if it is really a shocking scam, then there is no shortage of this money, if it is a major discovery that shocks the Tibetan world, then it is worth a hundred times. ”

Han Duoer and the others couldn't help but nodded, if hundreds or thousands of people can buy the same thing, then who wants to buy it at the auction?

It's just that after Zhao Zhuo finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was rare to find such a good piece of Yuan Qinghua, but he didn't expect it to be Boling's first paragraph. Although such porcelain may be sold at a high price on the auction floor, if it is taken to participate in the Dou Porcelain Festival, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy on the issue of price, plus he is now provoking the Fang family and the Tong family, if the other party is secretly making trouble, then the probability of reaching a high price is much smaller.

He slowly put the Yuan blue and white plate into the bag, and when his fingers touched the silk underneath, he suddenly squinted slightly, feeling that the touch of his fingers seemed to be a little hard under the satin, he immediately opened the silk, and suddenly found that there was a stack of paper folded underneath.

Zhao Zhuo took the paper in his hand, and suddenly felt that the texture was delicate, although after many years, he could vaguely distinguish the original white color, and he could obviously feel that although the paper was thin but had a good tenacity, it was very similar to the popular paper in the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing that there was paper under the silk, and the handwriting on it could be clearly seen from the back, Han Duoer and the others were very curious, urging Zhao Zhuo to spread out the paper.

When Zhao Zhuo carefully spread out the paper, he saw that this was a letter, the font was regular script, and the penmanship was pale, but it could be seen that he was in a hurry between the lines.

Zhao Zhuo slowly finished reading the letter, the corners of his mouth slowly floated a smile, and he had a feeling of looking up to the sky and sighing, it was really an endless road, I didn't expect that there was a letter under this bag, and what was recorded in this letter was the evidence that could prove that Bo Lingdi was the real product of the Yuan Dynasty!
