Chapter 0238 The World's Famous Porcelain Ru Kiln is the Leader [2]
Ru kiln is the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is used by the court and is rarely circulated in the market and among the people. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a document: "Ru kiln...... Only for the royal selection and retreat is allowed to be sold, and it is especially difficult to reach it closely." It shows that his value at that time was extraordinary. Its products, first of all, the best ones are of course for the royal family, and the unqualified ones are allowed to be sold in the market, so most of the products of Ru kiln are used for the imperial court.
Mr. Li Kuchan, a famous master of Chinese painting, once said, "It is difficult to call it perfect without you in the world's museums." The folk in the Ruzhou area also have the reputation of "even if there is a family property, it is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain".
"Is Ru kiln porcelain valuable?"
Hong Xiaoxue also heard the general meaning according to everyone's discussions, and looked at Liu Yuhao with big eyes curiously, she didn't have any specific concept of antiques in her mind.
"Mainly because of the age, the survival is very rare, and the research value is also very high, so it is a bit expensive."
Liu Yuhao smiled and waved his hand and said, in fact, he didn't believe that the blue glazed gooseneck bottle was real, and the old man Qi had also talked to him about Ru porcelain before, but what appeared in the world was usually fake, and it was impossible for the real thing to be taken out for archaeologists to study, so it was indeed difficult to really understand Ru porcelain.
"Very rare? How little? Hong Xiaoxue became more and more curious.
"Well, at present, there are only more than 60 works handed down from Ruyao, including 24 pieces in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, 17 pieces in Beijing, 18 pieces in Shanghai, 7 pieces in the collection of the Davit Fund in the United Kingdom, 7 pieces in the collection of the Museum of Oriental Ceramics in Osaka, Japan, one in the collection of the St. Louis Museum of Art in the United States, one in the collection of the Tianjin Museum, and three in private hands. In other words, the number of Ru kiln porcelain in the world is very limited, and the vast majority of them are in museums. ”
Liu Yuhao's memory was already very amazing, and after getting the Bajin ability, he even had the ability to remember, and after recalling it in his mind a little, he said it like a few treasures.
"Does Xiaoyou also have a lot of research on ancient porcelain? It's better for us to step forward together. ”
The one who spoke was the old man who came over just now, in fact, the old man had been paying attention to Liu Yuhao for a long time, and usually the so-called antique experts generally knew more about the direction they were studying or the objects they were very familiar with, and the others were not good.
But Liu Yuhao can actually have a very deep understanding of miscellaneous antiques, and he is also a treasure of ancient porcelain, especially Liu Yuhao's ability to casually say the accurate data of the existence of Ru kiln, which made the old man even more surprised.
"Then old gentleman, please first, I just mean that."
Liu Yuhao smiled and nodded in agreement. Nonsense, it's completely nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that it was an old man who made the request, Liu Yuhao would probably refuse directly, can this kind of heirloom boutique appear in this kind of place? He still needs to keep his doubts in his heart.
Seeing Liu Yuhao skillfully take out gloves and magnifying glasses from his pocket, the old man magnified the curiosity in his heart even more, if you just look at Liu Yuhao's technique, you can almost forget his age, only antique masters have Liu Yuhao's calm bearing and extraordinary quality.
With the idea of taking a look, Liu Yuhao and the others politely retreated with the old man after admiring the gooseneck bottle, and then picked up the porcelain vase and calmly observed carefully, from the perspective of an archaeological graduate student, he also wanted to find out the flaws left by the counterfeiter.
Several emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties organized imperial kilns in Jingdezhen, gathered China's best craftsmen to Jingdezhen, and imitated the porcelain of the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Nearly 1,000 years ago, the Ruguan kiln mysteriously disappeared, but also took away its firing process, and how the Ruguan porcelain, which was called the best porcelain in later generations, was fired out has become a mystery for thousands of years.
"The bone fetus is hard, the same color as the sky, watery, glazed with small spots, colorful in the light, bright as stars, rare good craftsmanship."
The old man was also carefully observing the blue glazed gooseneck bottle that day, and he couldn't help but let out bursts of admiration when he saw the pleasing place.
"Did the old gentleman notice anything peculiar about this gooseneck bottle? The sky blue glaze was originally a clever work at that time, but this bottle even imitated the carved flowers vividly. ”
Liu Yuhao's heart was very surprised, from the opening piece, lines, patterns and shapes of the gooseneck bottle, he never found any flaws, especially under the fifty times magnifying glass, Liu Yuhao found that only two or three underglaze bubbles were found in the entire gooseneck bottle, which was exactly the same as the one recorded in the literature.
The old man smiled and said nothing, did not agree, and did not deny Liu Yuhao's statement, but quietly waited for Liu Yuhao to gently put down the bottle before picking it up and watching it in his own way.
"It's true that even the incense gray tire is very similar." After a while, the old man put down the gooseneck bottle and nodded.
The so-called "fragrant gray tire" is because the porcelain fetus is delicate, the fetal soil contains a trace of copper, and the light is shining, and the red is slightly seen, and the tire color is slightly yellow in the gray, so everyone gave it such a name.
"Yes, old gentleman, this gooseneck bottle is thin and fine, and the glaze is fine. The glaze is as smooth as jade, blue but not glamorous, gray but not dark, the juice is thick like a pile of fat, and the glaze is finely broken and faintly borneol. Wrapped in foot burning, there are sesame seeds at the bottom of the needle. The inside and outside of the vessel are full of glaze, the enamel is rich and even, and the color is not dark or light, giving people a steady, thick and simple atmosphere as a whole. ”
Liu Yuhao smiled and said what he thought in his heart, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle was a fake even if it was an imitation, and he had put a lot of effort into it, and when he played with it, he actually left him with a feeling that he couldn't let go, which had never happened before.
"Nail firing is a major feature of Ruguan kiln. Most of them are three or five nails, there are more than four or six nails but a few, most of the nails in the middle are grayish-white, the fracture is slightly larger and slightly rougher, and most of the nails in the later stage are fragrant gray, the fracture is slightly thinner and more regular, but this gooseneck bottle obviously has no nails. ”
The old man shook his head and smiled heartily, although he also had a lot of doubts about this sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle, but in the end, because he thought that as long as it was a Ru kiln, it must have the characteristics of a nail and denied the idea that the gooseneck bottle was genuine.
When Liu Yuhao was talking to the old man, there were also some people who listened quietly, of course, some people agreed with the old man's statement, and some people opposed this arbitrary conclusion, but no matter what, everyone was still skeptical.
Liu Yuhao did not join the debate, but quietly took a few steps back, and secretly cast the Eight Brocade Ability Technique to throw it at the blue glazed gooseneck bottle.
He has too much curiosity about this Ru porcelain, and it is definitely not something that ordinary porcelain masters can do to imitate this kind of porcelain, Liu Yuhao wants to understand this problem thoroughly.
With a flash of golden light, a sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle emitting colorful hues was immediately printed on the deerskin map, Liu Yuhao only felt that the blood in his entire body was surging to his head, and the wings of his nose were rapidly stirring with the acceleration of breathing.
"Oh my God! This, this is really a fake Ruguan kiln"
Liu Yuhao rubbed his eyes, but that day the blue glazed gooseneck bottle still appeared on the deerskin atlas as just now, if it weren't for the repeated trials of the Eight Brocade ability, Liu Yuhao would have wondered if there was a problem with his ability.
In response to the question of the nail raised by the old man just now, Liu Yuhao once again exerted his ability, and came to the conclusion that this sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle was fired using the "bedding method", which was similar to the nail method, and it was definitely not a fake.
Looking cautiously at the surroundings, no one noticed the change in his expression, Liu Yuhao silently returned to his seat and began to figure out what price to buy the gooseneck bottle.
Of course, in terms of the real Ruguan kiln, Liu Yuhao doesn't think it's unusual what kind of sky-high price this sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle sells, but now everyone seems to have no confidence in this gooseneck bottle, if Liu Yuhao can successfully pick up the leak this time, it will be the biggest one since he has the ability of Bajin.
"300,000"
Soon ended the time of appreciation, under the auctioneer's wonderful encouraging speech, finally someone was tempted, the starting price was also 100,000, but there was a suspicion of money, and the high price of 300,000 yuan was directly opened.
"Four Hundred Thousand"
As soon as the words of 300,000 yuan fell, someone immediately caught up behind him, and raised the price by 100,000 at a time, the excitement in the auctioneer's eyes was overflowing, and the higher the final transaction price of the sky blue glazed gooseneck bottle, the higher the commission he could get, there was no doubt about it.
"Half a Million"
Where people appear, there are rivers and lakes, and the biggest feature between people on the rivers and lakes is that they compete with each other, and someone in front of them will open the road and someone will build a bridge behind them, and immediately another man will raise the price a little.
"800,000"
It's never a big deal to see the excitement, Liu Yuhao looked at the man who shouted out the high price of 800,000 with disdain, and from the man's evasive gaze, Liu Yuhao knew that this person was probably the "trust" invited by the auctioneer.
However, it is ridiculous that after the "Tuo" raised the high price of 800,000 yuan, everyone seemed to have a very tacit understanding and chose to be silent, and no one bid for three minutes.
This can make the auctioneer anxious, that man is really invited by him, this underground black market also has its own rules, even if you are an auctioneer, you can't violate it, once the bid is successful, you must pay, otherwise it is very likely that you will be grounded in this place and unable to go home.
"Eight hundred and one thousand"
A very abrupt quotation was shouted, and I saw a young man in his early twenties smiling as if he was very reluctant to hold up the sign in his hand, and then quickly put it down.
"You're crazy, people won't buy it, you spend 810,000 yuan to buy a bottle back, if you think you have too much money, lend me some flowers."
Hong Xiaoxue was taken aback by Liu Yuhao beside her, because the young man who bid 810,000 yuan just now was Liu Yuhao.
I said to my brothers and sisters very reverently: "Support our "Law Eye", it feels really uncomfortable to be held with chrysanthemums every day!" ”
I want to cry without tears!
