Although Zheng Guangyuan's porcelain was identified as a fake, it made people look at the glasses. Moreover, in a general sense, the late Qing Dynasty only includes the three dynasties of Tongzhi, Guangxu and Xuantong, and Daoguang is still before Tongzhi, so strictly speaking, it is not a thing of the late Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Zheng Guangyuan not only looked away at the porcelain, but also made a big joke on the definition, which was also one of the reasons why he left in a hurry, it is estimated that he made such a fuss on the stage, and within a few days, everyone in the antique circle in Baicheng knew about the joke he made.

Although Zheng Guangyuan made a joke, the next few contestants brought back the face of the antique circle, and the things they brought up, whether they were large or small, whether they were blue and white, pastel or ink, the price was more than one million, and many things looked ordinary, and the price was only five or six hundred thousand, but his works were from the hands of famous artists, and their value suddenly doubled.

This also makes the general public understand a truth, that is, the inscriptions and styles on the utensils are quite important, and if they can be associated with important historical figures or famous masters through these, then the utensils in their hands are not ordinary utensils.

Zhao Zhuo sat calmly in his seat, watching the collection being brought to the stage, the highest price of the first game was also repeatedly refreshed, from two million to four million from ordinary players, and many contestants who had already competed were whispering in their seats.

In the meantime, Fang Lu and Ji Xiaofan also came to the stage, and what Fang Lu took out was a pastel Bailuzun, produced by the official kiln, with an ingenious shape and an ingenious concept, but it was not a good grade in the official kiln, so the final estimate was only in the early three million, and it did not exceed the current highest price created by an old collector.

What Ji Xiaofan took out was a pair of blue and white bouquet lotus pattern plates, in terms of competition rules, a pair can also be regarded as a piece of competition, of course, the value is higher.

However, the so-called pair is not a pair of two things that look similar in appearance, not only must they come from the same era and the same kiln, but also have the same shape, glaze color and other aspects, which can be called a pair.

It sounds very simple, but in fact, as far as the porcelain produced in a certain kiln in the Tongzhi period is concerned, the firing of each type of porcelain has a limit on the quantity, and the amount of porcelain that has survived to later generations has been very small, and it is not easy to get one, if you want to find another exactly the same, how can it be so simple?

In fact, the reunion of this pair still depends on Zhao Zhuo's eyesight, Ji Xiaofan originally had such a blue and white plate, and showed Zhao Zhuo many of his collections, just a few days ago when he was in the ghost market, Zhao Zhuo accidentally found another one, and after identifying it as genuine, he finally made such a pair.

Although this pair of plates is only produced by the private kiln, it is a good boutique, not inferior to the utensils of the official kiln, and the final estimate exceeded 4 million, creating a new high for the first one.

There are masters like Tong Qizhou, Tong Dongyang, and Fang Youming, and Ji Xiaofan and other young people also know very well that they will not be able to win the first place, but this does not affect the competition between young people.

Not long after, Tong Feiyu also played, and the porcelain that Tong Feiyu held was a large bowl with lotus and mandarin duck patterns.

The so-called doucai, is to first use blue and white on the white porcelain to outline the outline of the painted pattern, after firing and then add false colors on the glaze according to different needs and finally fired again, it began in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, but the real thing is very rare, the Chenghua period was vigorously promoted, and it was more popular after arriving in the Qing Dynasty.

This bucket color bowl is also unearthed from the official kiln, painted with bucket color lotus, painted outside the cloud dragon to catch the pearl, it looks very expensive, however, in the final price assessment just up to four million, compared with Ji Xiaofan's pair of blue and white plates less than tens of thousands of pieces.

Tong Feiyu was originally full of confidence, but he didn't expect to lose to Ji Xiaofan in the final appraisal price, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, after all, such a scene is a real big scene, and the secret wrestling of the three young generations can be seen clearly.

It didn't take long for Tong Dongyang to come to the stage, Tong Dongyang's personal introduction is also very simple, just an appraiser of a professional appraisal company, and the people in the audience may not know much, but in the antique circle, anyone with a name, Tong or Fang, will always attract much attention, not to mention that Tong Dongyang is also quite famous in the circle, and he is among the best among the younger generation, not only has excellent eyesight, but also has a very powerful wrist, so as soon as he walked out, the people in the circle opened their eyes wide. Let's see what kind of treasure he brought to the competition.

When the staff opened the wooden box and took out the contents inside, both insiders and laymen felt that their eyes lit up, and even Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but squint slightly.

This is a 30-centimeter-high glaze red square bottle, this bottle has a coil, a neck, a bulging belly, and a circled foot outward. The outer wall of the bottle is decorated with glaze red, and the scenery is painted with a picture of the fishing and wood, and the foot wall is decorated with a circle of back lines, especially the color of the glaze red is extremely bright, and the scenery of the landscape and fishing wood on the picture is set off hard and free, and the rhyme is long.

Although there have been a lot of vivid porcelain patterns in the front, but compared with this one, it suddenly seems stingy, this landscape painting is magnificent, delicate and sophisticated, like a living thing.

Just looking at this pattern, it is clear in the hearts of discerning people that ten ** are genuine. Fang Ling couldn't help but secretly appreciate, although Tong Dongyang is a bit bad, but his eyesight is really good, such a piece of porcelain is indeed the top grade in the kiln, and the red color can be described as fascinating.

The red in the glaze began in the Yuan Dynasty, but because of its harsh firing conditions, there are not many pure red people who really burn it, and most of them are gray-brown, and there are few bright colors.

It was not until the Yongle Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty that the glaze red was burned like a jewel, however, in the Chenghua period, due to the simple process of glaze color instead of glaze red, so until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the glaze red began to be re-fired, the firing of the glaze red in the Qing Dynasty, after the high development of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, to the Jiaqing Daoguang period has tended to be in a state of stagnation and condorism, the amount of firing has been greatly reduced, and the technology has gradually appeared defective, poured the Tongzhi years, because the copper red color is difficult to control, Therefore, there are very few large pieces of bright red in the glaze.

However, from the perspective of shape and glaze color, this piece of porcelain is precisely the product of the Tongzhi period, which is no longer the prosperous era of porcelain, and it is even more rare to be able to appear in the glaze with such a good color in the glaze.

Moreover, not only is its shape beautiful and the glaze color beautiful, but this picture is also quite charming and of great significance. Fishing, woodcutting, farming, and reading are the four industries of an agrarian society, representing the basic way of life of the people. Later generations often take fishing and farming as decorations, expressing the yearning for the wanton and indifferent life realm of pastoral life, so porcelain with such an atmospheric picture, its value can be imagined.

Tong Dongyang stood in front of the table with a calm expression, not in a hurry to expose the bottom of the porcelain, but even so, the sharp-eyed judges had almost determined that this porcelain was genuine in the Tongzhi period, and they exchanged heads and ears one by one to determine the valuation of this porcelain.

Ordinary contestants were eye-opening, one by one sighed, although they have not yet bid, but compared with the collection they held, the gap is too big.

The contestants of the three families are quite calm, although this porcelain is a rare high-quality porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty, but what they are holding in their hands is not an ordinary product.

At this moment, Tong Dongyang slowly turned the porcelain bottle sideways, revealing its bottom, only to see that there was a side at the bottom, and there were four small characters written on it, "Hubing Tang Zhi".

At first glance, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help frowning, and sighed lightly: "Tong Dongyang's eyesight is really good, it is actually the knowledge of Hubing Tangzhi." ”

Ji Xiaofan said in surprise: "Brother Zhao, I haven't heard of this knowledge, is there any origin?" ”

Zhao Zhuo asked rhetorically, "Do you know Zhang Zhidong?" ”

Ji Xiaofan nodded and said: "I naturally know that this person is a big official in the late Qing Dynasty, successively served as the governor of Huguang and Liangjiang, and he has established a new type of education, founded an industry, trained new soldiers, resisted foreign humiliation, and was called the 'four famous ministers' of the late Qing Dynasty together with Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang." ”

Zhao Zhuo saw that he didn't get to the point, so he continued: "Zhang Zhidong calls himself Hubing, and Baobing Hall is the name of Zhang Zhidong's reading hall!" ”

Ji Xiaofan gasped when he heard this; "What does Brother Zhao mean is that this porcelain is the porcelain that Zhang Zhidong once used?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded and said, "It should be, otherwise he wouldn't have 'embraced the ice hall' on the book above." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Zhang Zhidong is also a person who appreciates porcelain, and this piece of porcelain is probably a rare thing at that time." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Mo Ling on the stage, thinking to himself, I don't know if Mo Ling has seen Zhang Zhidong, and I envy her in my heart, being able to live for hundreds of years, and see so many things that I have heard and never seen, in fact, it is also a rare happiness.

But it's clear that freedom is much more precious than that.

People who can be judges at the Dou Porcelain Festival, naturally have much more knowledge than ordinary people, as soon as the four words of Baobing Tang came out, the judges' eyes lit up, and the contestants naturally have masters in the circle, especially those collectors who have been immersed in collecting for twenty or thirty years, the eyes are more poisonous than one another, and even some people have blurted out the three words of Zhang Zhidong when they see these four words.
