Speaking of Dengfeng porcelain, we can't fail to mention the "pearl ground double tiger pattern decoration bottle", which is the existing national treasure of the Palace Museum in Beijing.

Of course, Liu Yuhao has seen that unique national treasure. The pure white glaze is decorated with a round shading like pearl grains, and this heirloom piece comes from the Dengfeng kiln.

Dengfeng kiln, which has been the royal tribute porcelain "the first kiln of the Central Plains folk", has been obliterated by the dust of history for too long, Dengfeng, located in the Tang Dynasty porcelain center Gongyi and the Song Dynasty porcelain center of Yuzhou, Ruzhou between, has all the necessary conditions for porcelain.

But after Jun porcelain and Ru porcelain went down in history, why did Dengfeng porcelain remain unknown?

There's an allusion here.

It is said that in the early period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Quhe Town, that is, Dengfeng is now very prosperous, the ceramic industry is very developed, the kiln is very large, stretching for more than 7 miles, and the fired porcelain is popular all over the country. But soon the Quhe River suffered bad luck, and a once-in-a-century flood flooded the kiln.

So, the frustrated craftsmen left Quhe and went to Yuzhou to resume their old business. After gaining a firm foothold in Yuzhou, they built the Patriarch Temple with the temple gate facing north at the junction of Dengfeng and Yuzhou to show that they did not forget the Qu River.

Later, there was a saying that Dengfeng belonged to Shenqian and Yuzhou belonged to Shenyuan. Later, Ruzhou's Ruzhou porcelain and Yuzhou's Jun porcelain climbed to the "official family" and became the "imperial porcelain" of Song Huizong, which was famous and sought after by people.

In contrast, the pearl land of Dengfeng kiln is not so lucky, since the Yuan Dynasty, Dengfeng kiln has disappeared, like a meteor across the sky.

In the 60s of the last century, the late Feng Xianming, president of the Chinese Ancient Ceramics Research Association and a researcher of the Palace Museum, and Mr. Ye Zhemin, a master of Chinese ancient ceramics, successively expressed their views, and "Dengfeng kiln is equal to Quhe kiln" and "Dengfeng kiln is equal to pearl land" have become an academic consensus.

It is the conclusion of experts, since the 60s of the last century, the fragments of pearl porcelain that have been hidden for thousands of years in Dengfeng have long disappeared, and may have been snatched up by those "appraisal experts" who came to visit.

The old man Qi also seriously told Liu Yuhao about the various characteristics of the Dengfeng kiln, which is also known as the Quhe kiln, which was first burned in the late Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the final fire was in the Yuan Dynasty.

The main varieties it produces are all white glaze as the ground, there are white glaze green color, white glaze carved flowers, white glaze pearl ground scratching flowers, white glaze ticking flowers and white ground black flowers, etc., with pearl ground scratching flowers are the most distinctive. The main types of utensils are bowls, bottles, cans, pots, lamps, and pillows, with bottles being the most prominent, and the second being pillows.

Among them, the most representative work of Dengfeng kiln in the Song Dynasty is the white glazed pearl porcelain, and the most representative of the highest level of white glazed pearl porcelain is the white glazed pearl double tiger pattern bottle.

According to Mr. Feng Xianming's article "Chinese Ceramics", Dengfeng kiln pearl is a very distinctive historical porcelain in the Song Dynasty, as a representative work of Cizhou kiln system, its unique firing and decoration technology can be called a must.

Ma Jia naturally does not have a white glaze pearl double tiger pattern vase, but forty years ago, Ma Jia accidentally auctioned a Song Dengfeng kiln pearl ground scratch figure pattern plum vase at an auction, although it is not as precious as the pair of tiger stripe vase, but it is also peerless.

This time, Ma Jia put up the auction for the plum vase with pearl and flower patterns that he had treasured for 40 years, in order to show the Chinese business community in the Lion City his determination to support Ma Yunsheng and his expectations for this charitable foundation.

The lights on the rostrum were focused again.

When the master of ceremonies walked on stage, Ma Yunsheng couldn't help clenching his fists, and his knuckles showed a miserable whiteness, this detail happened to be seen by Liu Yuhao, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems that Ma Gongzi is not as confident as he shows!

The role of the master of ceremonies is nothing more than to adjust the atmosphere, and it didn't take long for the real auctioneer to finally slowly come to the stage, and suddenly, more than 100 people in the audience no longer turned their heads to each other, and they all opened their eyes, waiting for the legendary Song Dengfeng kiln pearl ground flower pattern plum vase to debut.

"Do you guess what sky-high price the old man Ma's Song Dengfeng kiln pearl ground scratched character pattern plum vase will be auctioned this time?"

"Then who can guess."

"I don't estimate 100 million."

"Hey, the beauty won't kill you, if it's 100 million, I'll take it home."

The people who can be invited to participate in the charity auction today are all Chinese business predators in the Lion City, and one or two hundred million yuan is a drizzle for them, and they are naturally full of "local tyrants" domineering when they speak.

The auctioneer was very interested, and after concisely explaining the origin of the plum vase with the pearl pattern on the pearl ground of the Song Dengfeng kiln, as well as the identity of the donor Ma Jia, he stood aside and set aside ten minutes for everyone to come forward and slap their eyes.

Liu Yuhao didn't look like it was enjoyable from a distance, so he also stood up.

"You know antiques?"

Old man Chen saw that Liu Yuhao was also going to go to the stage to admire the plum bottle with the flower pattern on the pearl ground of the Song Dengfeng kiln at close range, so he asked curiously.

The Chinese in the Lion City basically have no contact with China, and the means and channels for transmitting news to each other are also very simple, so Old Man Chen has only heard of Liu Yuhao's name as the Jade Holy Hand, but he knows very little about Liu Yuhao's other hobbies.

Liu Yuhao touched his nose with a smile and said, "Well, I understand a little." ”

The so-called difference is a thousand miles, in the identification of antiques, there is a big difference between understanding and understanding, but in this case, Liu Yuhao is not easy to say that he was once considered an antique appraisal expert.

Old Man Chen smiled and said, "Go ahead, you behaved very well just now." ”

"This old man!"

Liu Yuhao smiled and muttered a few words, and it wasn't until he took a few steps that he realized that Old Man Chen was praising the conversation between himself and Ma Yunsheng just now, as well as his self-restraint afterwards.

Bypassing the crowd, Liu Yuhao squeezed in with great effort, and the plum bottle with the pearl pattern of the Song Dengfeng kiln was finally displayed in front of Liu Yuhao.

This kind of auction form of objects is not allowed to get started, and Liu Yuhao has to enjoy it through the glass cover with everyone.

I saw that the plum bottle was a small lip, a short and thin neck, gradually slipping out from the shoulders to the chest and abdomen for the maximum diameter, and then gradually closing at the bottom, forming a coordinated body and a beautiful shape.

Liu Yuhao frowned and nodded slightly.

Although I have only seen one or two pieces of Dengfeng porcelain, Liu Yuhao can still identify it, the bottle carcass is solid and tight, presumably it should be very heavy, and then look at the carcass transversely, for four sections and three joints, it is a typical style of Dengfeng porcelain recorded in the data.

Five minutes later, the auctioneer carefully tilted the bottle on its side, and the bottom was exposed, and Liu Yuhao immediately looked at it carefully, only to see that the bottom tire was gray and black. The basic color of the whole vessel is white, and after it is made for the tire, a layer of white makeup soil is applied first, and then the pattern is engraved, and then covered with transparent glaze. This creates a contrast and contrast effect between the dark pattern and the white glaze after firing.

Up to now, Liu Yuhao has already had a general conclusion about this Song Dengfeng kiln pearl ground scratched character pattern plum vase.

The plum vase pattern has three layers, the top is a circle of grass patterns, the middle is the main pattern area, on the ground composed of countless pearls, carved with elegant clouds, between the clouds there are three lotus bamboo baskets, flower hoes of immortals; Near the bottom, there are two layers of lotus petals, the lotus petals are not very regular, which fully reflects the handmade work at that time.

Moreover, the whole vessel is old and heavy, the glaze is moist, due to the age, the underglaze shows fine ice cracks, and the glaze is full of crispness. If there is no problem with the ability identification, the plum vase with the pearl pattern of the Song Dengfeng kiln taken out by Ma Jia is definitely a peerless treasure.

In order to prove the conjecture in his heart, Liu Yuhao released his ability to look through the fetal wall of the plum bottle with a flower pattern on the pearl ground, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, but before the deerskin atlas appeared in his mind, Liu Yuhao actually saw something that made him cry and laugh.

"Hey, how can this be."

Liu Yuhao shook his head and took a few steps back, with a look of regret on his face.

"Well, is that bottle worth it?"

When he returned to his seat, he could wait to sit down, and Junzi had already stretched out his head, and couldn't wait to ask Liu Yuhao about the specific situation.

Liu Yuhao glanced around, smiled, and whispered, "I can't see that object." ”

"Impossible!"

Junzi was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Yuhao with wide eyes, and asked, "Cattle, have you looked carefully?" ”

Although he has not been in contact with antiques for many years, he can still speak the basic jargon, listening to Liu Yuhao's meaning, the plum vase with the pearl pattern of the Song Dengfeng kiln on the stage is actually a fake.

Liu Yuhao smiled: "Why, you still don't believe in my vision?" ”

"Not really."

Junzi scratched his head and grinned, secretly proud in his heart, fortunately he didn't go with him just now, but expanded his contacts as much as possible, otherwise, he would have been blind to such a good opportunity today, and he wouldn't be able to see the real thing.

Although Liu Yuhao and Junzi spoke in a small voice, Old Man Chen still heard clearly, he didn't understand antiques and had little interest in antiques, but this did not prevent Chen Hu from being cautious as a businessman.

"Boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence."

Old Man Chen had a serious face.

Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "Old Chen, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts, I will only be an audience today." ”

Old Man Chen nodded with satisfaction, and his gaze at Liu Yuhao became more and more meaningful.

Liu Yuhao didn't know, Old Man Chen was a little impatient to go home now, before he officially transferred the equity in his hand to Liu Yuhao, the old man was very much looking forward to the wool that was shipped back from Zhao Yiliang's house.

The auction soon began, and the plum vase with the pearl ground flower pattern was very enthusiastically sought after by the participants, and the price quickly soared from the unreserved bidding to a sky-high price of 200 million yuan after 20 minutes.

"Two hundred and twenty million!"

Ma Yunsheng was also unwilling to be lonely and held up a card, since his father donated his favorite objects, he gave everything he had to help his father get it back, in his opinion, this is the duty of a son of man.

"Cut, it's just a fake, is it worth raising the price yourself!"

Junzi pursed his lips disdainfully and muttered in a low voice, but he didn't expect that although his voice was not loud, it attracted the sideways eyes of the people around him.

For a time, the army became the focus of the audience.
