Chapter 037: The Northern Song Dynasty Official Kiln Three-legged Ceremony
The storage room that Yi Yang walked into under the leadership of Bai Wenchao was full of aura, and following the direction from which the aura came, Yi Yang quickly noticed that there was a glass display case on the table in the center, and a piece of porcelain was placed in the cabinet.
It is a cyan porcelain, which is similar to the glaze color of the azure glazed Jun porcelain repaired by Yiyang before, and it should belong to the celadon system, but the celadon in front of me has a peculiar shape, cylindrical shape, like a small bucket, and the bottom is undertaken by three curved small feet, and the shape of the vessel is very exquisite, giving people a simple but heavy feeling.
"Brother Yi, do you see it? It's this piece of porcelain locked in a glass case. When he approached, Bai Wenchao introduced with a smile.
"Well, I see." Yi Yang nodded and said, "Very good!" A good thing indeed! ā
"Hehe, of course, this is the three-legged kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is the best of the best!" Bai Wenchao said with a smile, quite proud.
"Three-legged?" Yi Yang was secretly slightly surprised, because he had never heard of this kind of porcelain before, and he felt very strange about this name.
I only heard Bai Wenchao continue to explain: "'Three-legged Xi' is also called 'Three-legged Zun', this 'Xi' and 'Zun' are both small containers for putting things, but there is a little difference, Xi is generally used to place small items such as mirrors and jewelry, while Zun is actually a kind of wine vessel, used to hold wine. ā
"Hmm." Yi Yang nodded slightly, and as soon as he listened to the other party's explanation, he basically understood what it was, it turned out that the so-called "three-legged sitting" was a small container used to hold small objects in ancient times.
"Brother Yi, what do you think of this Song Guan Kiln three-legged piece that we received in our store?" Bai Wenchao asked with a smile.
Yi Yang nodded approvingly: "It's exquisite, it's a one-glance product!" ā
If he wants to appreciate a specific pattern, then he really can't do it, after all, his eyesight is very limited, and he can only rely on his feelings to identify, but at this moment he can definitely show a very rare fine ancient porcelain in front of him, because the strong aura exuded on it makes him feel this deeply.
Bai Wenchao said happily: "The official kiln of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty can also be regarded as a rare treasure, because the porcelain produced by the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty is similar to the porcelain of the Ru kiln, and the amount of survival is extremely rare, and the rarity is expensive, so the collection value is very high." Brother Yi, you must know better than me that the official kiln was built in Bianliang, Beijing, during the reign of Emperor Zongzheng of the Song Dynasty, and the kiln site has not been found so far. The official kiln mainly fires celadon, and during the Daguan period, the official kiln is famous for firing blue-glazed porcelain. The three-legged pod you see now is the best of the azure glazed porcelain. It took a lot of time and effort for our store to get it, and of course, it cost a lot of money! ā
"How much did you get this porcelain?" Yi Yang asked casually.
Bai Wenchao replied without concealment: "Millions, just last night's transaction!" The thing was received from an old collector, and the collector released the news a long time ago, saying that he was ready to sell this official kiln, and everyone knew that he had this thing in his hand, and unanimously decided that it was a genuine product, so once he released the news, many people came to the door to buy, but the price has not been negotiated, and it has been delayed until now. ā
"Millions? How many millions? When he heard Bai Wenchao's answer, Yi Yang frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something bad.
Bai Wenchao didn't notice the subtle changes in his expression, and just replied with a big grin: "More than six million." Oh, although the price is a little higher, but it is worth the money, like such a rare porcelain, it is difficult to buy on the market. ā
"That's not right!" Yi Yang thought to himself, his brows furrowed more and more, because he found that there was something wrong with the three-legged piece of the official kiln, although he had not verified the situation, but the golden thread that jumped in his right eye told him that there was a problem with that porcelain, and there was a certain defect on it.
Therefore, when Bai Wenchao quoted that price, he was very surprised, if that piece of porcelain was very missing, wouldn't it be a big loss.
Of course, this is not absolute, if the omission of zĆ i on it is not enough to affect the quality of the whole porcelain, it is a very small defect, then it is harmless, and it is understandable to bid according to the normal situation.
"Brother Bai, let me appreciate it carefully." Yi Yang greeted later.
"Feel free to look at it." Bai Wenchao said enthusiastically.
At that moment, Yi Yang leaned down and examined the porcelain in detail.
In order to check out the leak on the three-legged sitting, Yi Yang secretly unknowingly drove the magical golden thread hidden in his right eye.
In an instant, the gold thread fell on the porcelain, and spun rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, the gold thread turned into countless filaments, swirling around the porcelain.
The next moment, two phantoms on the porcelain broke away, and at that moment, Yi Yang's mind suddenly brightened.
"I see!" Yi Yang suddenly realized in his heart, and at the same time, he instinctively blinked his eyes, blocking the repair process of the golden silk on that porcelain, and now that the situation has not been figured out, he naturally can't fix things for Bai Wenchao and them in a daze.
"How could this be?!" After seeing that there was a defect in the porcelain, Yi Yang secretly gasped, he thought it was just a relatively minor problem, who knew that it was much stricter than he thought.
The defect of the three-legged foot is actually stored in a more critical place, that is, on the bottom foot, yes, it is one of the bottom feet that has a problem, if Yi Yang guesses correctly, the problem of the bottom foot is repaired by someone, and it is glued with a paste, which is exactly the same as the situation of the colorful holding pot and the blue and white elephant ear vase, but the repair technique is different, the porcelain in front of me is better repaired, and the bottom foot that is glued on is not so light yƬ falls down, but it is not complete after all.
"Porcelain with a broken leg is worth six million?!" At this moment, Yi Yang was full of doubts in his heart, it stands to reason that the porcelain with a broken foot can only be regarded as residual porcelain, and the quality is incomplete, and collectors pay great attention to this problem when collecting, so its value will only be greatly discounted, if the original price is one million, I am afraid that it will not be sold for 100,000.
In this way, the porcelain in front of him is not worth six million even if it is good, so there is only one possibility, that is, the people of "Gu Bao Zhai" have received a problematic porcelain from someone else, and they still don't know it.
Regarding this, it can be completely seen from Bai Wenchao's watch, because he regards that porcelain as a "treasure of the town hall", as a treasure, so it seems that things are perfect in his eyes, and it is impossible to have such a big gap as a broken foot, otherwise how could he be embarrassed to show it to outsiders, and even have the intention of showing off.
"Xiao Chao, Xiao Yi, are you playing here?"
Yi Yang was staring at the three-legged piece of the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln and fell into deep thought, when a familiar and very gentle greeting suddenly came from the door.
