Chapter 1004: Private Exhibition [7]
Lao Tzu believes that all the beauty of "promising" must come at the cost of harming human nature. True beauty is not in the sound, but in nature itself. This kind of beauty is "the sound of the voice, the elephant is invisible".
That is to say, the most beautiful music is "silence is better than sound at this time"; The most beautiful image is "Bodhi without trees hanging Zen sound", and only "elephants are invisible" can "have thousands of weathers".
The enamel of the sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle is as warm as jade, and the touch is like silk like silk, and the beauty of this unique tread quality will conclude the Tao Te Ching: "The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful; The way of the saint is indisputable. "The interpretation is vivid.
Yan Lao looked at Liu Yuhao suspiciously, then at the sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle under the glass cover, and said, "Have you already identified this bottle as Ruguan Kiln at the auction?" β
Originally, there was already Chu Lao's argument that Yan Lao should no longer have doubts, but the appearance of the Ruguan kiln sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle can be said to be an epoch-making important basis for domestic research on Ru kiln, and Yan Lao had to be cautious.
Liu Yuhao smiled, he didn't know what Yan Lao was thinking, "Yan Lao, I was only suspicious at the time, and the auction site didn't allow me to make a careful judgment, so I'm afraid to think about it now." β
Although Liu Yuhao can use his ability to identify the authenticity of old artifacts, he is inevitably a little weak in front of an expert like Yan Lao, so he only picks up some ambiguous words.
"When did this happen? What was the transaction price at that time? β
Yan Lao didn't care about his identity as an expert, and continued to ask.
Liu Yuhao said with a smile: "More than two years ago, when I just reported to the Provincial Museum, the gooseneck bottle was finally sold for 10 million. β
"Ten million deals!"
Yan Lao gasped, and when he looked at Liu Yuhao again, his eyes flickered again and again, full of weirdness.
During his stay in Toronto, Yan Lao already had a detailed understanding of Liu Yuhao's entire experience, two years ago, Liu Yuhao dared to take 10 million to shoot a piece of porcelain that he was not sure about, how strong should this young man's psychological quality be?
Yan Lao couldn't dare to think about it anymore, in other words, he himself might not have such great courage.
"The world's famous porcelain, Ru kiln is the best."
Among the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, "Ru, Jun, Guan, Ge, and Ding", Ru kiln ranked first. The sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle in the glass cover is like jade, not jade, but better than jade, which attracts everyone's surprise.
"Yu Hao, do you know the Ruguan kiln in the Palace Museum?"
Yan Lao looked at Liu Yuhao for a long time before he said softly, and there was a sense of helplessness in his tone.
Liu Yuhao nodded with a serious expression and said, "I've heard that it seems that the four Ruguan kilns in the museum are all pieced together from fragments. β
Old Yan paused, but finally nodded, reluctantly acknowledging Liu Yuhao's statement.
It is not so much a secret as to explain it as the biggest regret in the hearts of domestic antiquities experts, how many peerless treasures have appeared in the history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, but unfortunately they all cease to exist in modern times, and there is not even a whole piece of Ruguan kiln artifacts.
Emotionally speaking, Yan Lao didn't want to admit it, but this was a fact, and he couldn't afford not to accept it positively.
Of course, in addition to the four remaining pieces of artifacts in the Palace Museum, it is said that there are as many as 17 pieces of Ruguan kilns in the rest of the Ruguan kilns, and the autumn auctions of major well-known auction companies can also be short-lived.
But after all, those can only be "suspected Ruguan kiln artifacts", and they can't be counted without any argumentation. If Liu Yuhao's sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle is indeed genuine, it is definitely a shocking news.
"Yu Hao, open the glass cover and let Yan Lao get started and help you identify it again."
Qi Lao had been standing behind him, and only then did he say a word softly.
Can an object that has been screened by an ability be fake? , Liu Yuhao was reluctant in his heart, but the teacher had already spoken, and he didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to explain to Qin Wei to turn on the safety control switch first.
Yan Lao personally went out, and immediately many people surrounded him.
If nothing else, even if it is to see the "work" in the hands of old experts, it is also an experience of increasing knowledge, and it will be regarded as having capital to boast to others in the future!
Yan Lao nodded gratefully at the old man, took a deep breath to calm himself down, but when his hand touched the blue glazed gooseneck bottle that day, he couldn't help but tremble for a while, and Liu Yuhao, who saw it, felt weak in his heart.
I'm going to go!
Don't miss it!
Liu Yuhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly motioned to Qin Weixian, and spread a thick velvet blanket around Yan Lao as a precaution.
"What a brown eye in the juice!"
It took more than ten minutes for Yan Lao to put down the sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle and high-powered magnifying glass in his hand, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Yuhao raised the corners of his eyebrows, although he didn't speak, he was already nodding secretly in his heart.
There is no vanity under the fame, and this sentence is really true!
There are many people who know the characteristic of brown eyes in Ru porcelain juice, but only a few people can really see it, and there are even many so-called antique experts who know it and don't know why.
The so-called brown eye in the juice is a significant feature of Ru porcelain, to put it bluntly, there are glaze reduction points, especially in the mouth edge of some utensils, there are more glaze points, and often can see the fetal bone.
This is also the reason why it is common to see metal vessels wrapping the rim of the mouth on some royal vessels. And most of the current imitations can't see those very natural and interesting glaze points of different sizes.
"Yu Hao, although I can't draw any conclusions about this sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle right now, I have a reluctant request"
Yan Lao pondered for a while, and said with an embarrassed expression.
Liu Yuhao immediately remembered something, and immediately waved his hand to interrupt Yan Lao's words, and said with a smile: "Yan Lao, don't beat my idea of this sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle, today is your old man, if it were someone else, I wouldn't open this glass cover if I said anything." β
Although it is said that speaking so bluntly in front of the big guy will offend people, Liu Yuhao is not weak at all.
Which good thing doesn't want to keep for yourself?
The so-called "selfless heart and wide world" is the most sentence, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people present, who dares to say that they don't drool in their hearts?
In Liu Yuhao's view, it is one thing to like the blue glazed gooseneck bottle that day, but whether you have that opportunity is another thing.
Yan Lao was not surprised by Liu Yuhao's honesty at all, nodded with appreciation, and said, "Yuhao, you misunderstood what I meant. β
Liu Yuhao was stunned for a moment, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Then I'm sorry that you're old, don't care!" β
Yan Lao smiled, waved his hand and said: "In this way, if you can tell the three characteristics of Ru porcelain, I really hope that you can take this sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle of yours to the Palace Museum to give you a lesson." β
Liu Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Go to the Palace Museum to give lectures to those experts?
This attraction is not ordinary temptation, isn't Liu Yuhao worried about how to establish his image as an antique expert? Now isn't it just that Yan Lao gave his boss a favor?
"Elder Yan, this, is this appropriate?"
The opportunity really came, but Liu Yuhao was embarrassed, smiling wryly, his eyes full of hope.
Old Man He's face was blank, and he scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you still put up a shelf, let you say it, say it if you say it's wrong, and go home and close the door to count your two bad money." β
Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Yuhao glanced at Old Man He gratefully, he knew that what the old man said was actually secretly encouraging himself.
If it was put in the past, Liu Yuhao really didn't dare to make an axe in front of a big-name expert like Yan Lao, but now it's different, since he has a plan to transform, Liu Yuhao has made up for his professional knowledge for a period of time, and now even if he doesn't use his ability, he can also distinguish the authenticity of some simple antiques.
Now that the opportunity has come, Liu Yuhao naturally will not give up because of stage fright, and will tell the story with a smile.
"Ru porcelain fetal quality is delicate, the fetal soil contains a trace of copper, welcome the light, slightly see red, the tire color gray slightly with yellow, commonly known as "fragrant gray tire", see Ruzhou Python Sichuan Yanhedian, Dayu Donggou, Ruzhou Confucian Temple, Qingliang Temple and other kiln sites; Ruzhou Zhanggong Lane Ru kiln, the tire is gray-white, slightly whiter than the tire color of other kilns, is the main feature of the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln. β
"What else?" Yan Lao smiled and nodded.
Liu Yuhao continued: "And Ru porcelain is the monopoly of the court, regardless of the cost, with agate glaze, the glaze is azure, pink blue, sky blue, there are also bean green, green, moon white, orange peel and other glaze colors, the glaze is moist and soft, pure as jade, there is an obvious feeling of ghee, the glaze is slightly translucent, and it is mostly turbid or crystalline. Observe with a magnifying glass, you can see the sparse bubbles under the glaze like the morning star, the glaze caresses it like silk, warm and simple, bright and moist, the glaze is like a pile of grease, quiet and elegant, the color is moist and pure, and the grain is crystal clear and the main characteristics. β
Yan Lao smiled with satisfaction and said, "Let's talk about the nails, how much do you know?" β
Liu Yuhao said with a smile: "In order to avoid the pollution of impurities in the kiln, it is necessary to pack it with a sagger, and the utensils are padded with gaskets and nails to prevent adhesion with the sagger. β
Old Man Qi showed a knowing smile on his face, after all, Liu Yuhao was his proud protΓ©gΓ©, and it was also his pride to show his face in front of these big-name experts.
Liu Yuhao didn't wait for Yan Lao to ask questions this time, and then said: "In the shape of the vessel, Ru kiln ware has bottles, zun, trays, bowls, plates, washing, xi, narcissus basins and other daily utensils, a few also have piles of flowers, printing and other decorations, and the bottom has more blue and white year models, mostly carved with knives and pens, and printing, stencil printing and other processes. β
In the end, Liu Yuhao spent half an hour focusing on the opening of Ru porcelain and the presentation of bubbles under high-magnification glass, which is the real point, as an antique expert, if you don't have a deep knowledge in this area, it doesn't make sense.
"Sure enough, it's a famous teacher who has a high apprentice!"
Old Yan took Old Man Qi's hand and praised him silently.
