Chapter 101: Pumping Faces in Turns
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations!
**************
Especially Gu Li, I feel that my face is hot, isn't there a few vertical lines on the mouth of the bowl? Are you going to be so detailed? Want to punch me in the face?
Most of the people present almost believed Professor Yang's statement, after all, what they said was reasonable, well-founded and clear.
As soon as Professor Yang finished speaking, Jin Muchen saw the faces of the two uncles and nephews on the other side, Gu Li and Song Shilun, who seemed to have eaten stool, and he was secretly refreshed, and wanted Professor Yang to say a few more words, so he sent Professor Yang a cup of hot tea.
Professor Yang took a sip, moistened his throat, and glanced at him with a little gratitude, but before he could speak, a voice that made people uncomfortable to listen to said next to him.
"Professor Yang, even if this bowl is a fine product in the early Song Dynasty, can't it be said that this bowl is a national treasure based on this? I've also heard of this thing, when I got up in the morning, there are really not many in China, but in the past ten years, a lot of them have been unearthed in China, and those gold fixtures, I haven't heard of which one has been rated as a national treasure, how can this only be regarded as a national treasure? ”
This abrupt voice made everyone turn their heads and see that it was Song Shilun, who had made a bet with Jin Muchen before, and at this time, everyone's eyes began to become a little strange when they looked at him, could this guy not help it?
You are asking at this time, isn't this a table that you can't afford to lose?
Gu Li glanced at his nephew at this time, but he didn't say much, in fact, he was also suspicious of Professor Yang's statement, and the most important factor was that he felt that he was pressed by Professor Yang in the identification of this gold fixture, and he was unhappy.
He is also a well-known appraiser in China, a closed disciple of the big player Song Shuyun, just now Professor Yang said that, there is no difference between slapping his face in front of everyone, he is already extremely unhappy in his heart.
But Professor Yang is a respected master in the domestic antique industry, so even if he is a little unconvinced, it is not good to question the challenge in person, but his nephew jumped out to question two sentences, then others can't blame him.
"What I told you about before is the origin of the early gold fixture. Later, because of the love of the Song Dynasty officials, this gold fixture became a famous porcelain at that time, and many princes and nobles, and celebrities hoped to have such a porcelain. In order to meet the market demand, the kiln began to improve the process, and successively invented, the disc-shaped support ring overfiring process and the funnel-shaped sagger overfiring process, and then invented the gasket-type combined sagger overfiring process in the middle of the Song Dynasty. The principle of these processes is that one or several bowl blanks of different sizes are first placed in a thicker bottom ring, and then a branch ring and a bowl body are placed on top of it, and they are stacked in turn. After reaching a certain height, it is fired in the kiln, which maximizes the use of space, unifies the specifications of the product, saves raw materials, prevents the deformation of utensils, greatly improves the output and reduces the cost. ”
Professor Yang paused, took a sip of water, and then continued.
"However, although it saves space and can be mass-produced Mangkou porcelain, Mangkou is generally treated smaller, which slightly affects the appearance, and compared with the early single handmade products, it begins to show a gap. Moreover, although these methods maximize the output, they also lead to different sizes of products, and it is difficult to form a unified specification of bulk products. At this time, the bowl mouth of these porcelain, because of mass production, the process is rough, and it is not particularly smooth, with different thicknesses, and at this time, the white porcelain is equipped with gold edges, not only for the pursuit of beauty, reflecting the identity of the user, but also for covering up the flaws of the mangkou. Such a mass-produced fixture can no longer be characterized as a high-quality product, and most of the gold-bound fixtures that exist in China are of this type. ”
Professor Yang said that here is the difference between the early high-quality products of the gold fixer and the later mass products.
To put it simply, the edge of the mouth of the gold fixture in the early Song Dynasty will be very smooth, and the gold edge was installed at that time in order to show the beauty and enhance the status of the owner, which was a fashion embodiment at that time. In the middle of the Song Dynasty, because of mass production, the edge of the mouth was not particularly smooth, and at this time, the gold edge was inlaid on the edge of the mouth, not only to show the beauty, but also to cover up the flaws and defects on the edge. ”
Teacher Hou, who had never spoken, summed up at this time and said, although it has a glutinous Baodao accent, it is very convincing.
"In the early Song Dynasty, because of its excellent craftsmanship and handmade workmanship, every piece that survives now is a unique product, and it is now extremely rare."
Speaking of which, Gu Li on the other side couldn't hold back any longer, Made, is it appropriate for these two old men to show off their knowledge like this?
"Then how do you judge that the mouth of the early gold fixture will be much smoother than that of the later mass production?"
Gu Li's heart was extremely unhappy, especially the knowledge of this golden fixed device, even his master had never taught him this.
When Old Man Yang talked about the vertical lines of the bowl before, he already felt that he was being slapped in the face, and now an old man jumped out to characterize this bowl, and he felt that this was taking turns to slap himself in the face.
So this Gu Li couldn't take care of it at this time, and couldn't help but go into battle shirtless in person.
"At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the domestic gold fixtures were basically extinct, and even if there were surviving ones, they were snatched away by the British in the early years. Until 1920 in Lin'an, Zhejiang, archaeological experts from Beijing University, successively excavated the tomb of Qian Kuan in 895 A.D. and the tomb of Shuiqiu in 901 A.D. unearthed several pieces of gold binding vessels, which was based on these gold binding vessels, only to prove that the Ding kiln had not yet invented the gasket-type combined sagger overfiring process, and also proved again that the earliest 'gold binding vessels' were not to cover up the defects of Mangkou, but a kind of high-end decoration and cultural phenomenon of deep processing. Only then did the experts realize that the rim of the early stator was much smoother than that of the later mass-produced stator. It is precisely by virtue of this that the early gold fixture is distinguished from the later mass processing and production of the metal fixture. ”
Professor Yang glanced at Na Gu Li, and such an explanation made Na Gu Li even more embarrassed in front of everyone, what kind of identification expert are you in Zangbao Zhai, you don't even know this archaeological history?
I think it's the straw bale expert, but you didn't buy the name of the expert, right?
Gu Li's originally fair face had turned red into a pig's liver color at this time, and even Wang Xueming's eyes began to look at him with a little disdain.
And Jin Muchen on the other side, seeing this guy's predicament, couldn't help but feel refreshed, you deserve to be a hypocrite, let you dig a pit, want to pit the master?
This time, I finally know that the master's baby was not given for free, right?
Gu Li didn't know whether to be happy or angry at this time, happy because there were not many acquaintances who appeared here today, and he was angry that his face was thrown to Java.
It's not interesting to look for yourself today, this old man Yang is really authoritative in this porcelain identification, and he was also angry just now, he knew this, why did he ask so many words?
Isn't this equivalent to being pumped out of the left cheek by someone else, and then taking the initiative to send the right cheek up to be pumped?
It's just that Old Man Yang doesn't matter, what is this Old Man Hou? Does he want to jump out and slap his face?
"It's a pity that the batch of instruments unearthed in Zhejiang that year were later taken to Baodao by KMT. It was not until 1969 that some early kiln remnants were unearthed in the old pit of the Ding kiln, which made up for the blank in the national collection of the domestic gold fixed ware, but although this batch of fixed ware was three years earlier than the batch of Wu Yue Qian's tribute to the Song Court, it could not be compared with the quality and that batch at all, and it could only be regarded as a defective product in the early exploration of the firing process. And after that, the country has unearthed some gold fixtures in many places one after another, but these things, most of them are the type of handicrafts produced in the middle of the Song Dynasty, and most of them are remnants, and the real good products with complete appearance can be said to be very few, which makes this gold fixture, in the domestic collection is more and more precious. That's why I said, your bowl with a pattern is a national treasure, because it is too intact, and there is a pattern in the mouth of this bowl, which means that this bowl is even more amazing, I have seen a similar one in the Palace Museum on Treasure Island before, and that bowl is also listed by them as one of the treasures of the town museum, and it is rarely taken out for exhibition, only when our mainland museum goes to communicate, they will take it out for everyone to see. ”
Professor Yang's last few words almost defined the character of this bowl, and at the same time made Song Shilun, who was standing on the other side, feel a little dark and crumbling.
Losing a million dollars is nothing, and losing that jade wrench is not a big deal, but what he is unwilling to do is that he lost to this guy who he didn't like before.
What kind of thing is he? I've been against him before, don't you just want to prove him wrong? But in the end, it turned out that he was a joke, which made it difficult for him to accept.
But soon a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered what Professor Yang had just said, and there seemed to be a problem.
"Professor Yang, didn't you say that this bowl was a fine product from the early Song Dynasty? And you said again, every piece of fine is unique and unique, so how can you say that there is a bowl exactly the same as this one in the museum on Treasure Island? You're not too old to remember wrong, right? ”
At this time, Song Shilun was like a gambler who had grasped the last straw, and the eyes of most of the people present looking at him were already full of disdain, pity and disgust.
I can't afford to lose, and I won't be falling like this, this money is nothing to your Song family, right?
