Chapter 155: Angry Official Kiln
"Brother Yi Yang, this blue and white bowl is very beautiful!"
When he saw the very exquisite blue and white porcelain bowl, Bai Wenchao couldn't help but whisper in Yi Yang's ear.
Yi Yang nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "Yes, it looks good." ”
He said yes, it was really good, because in addition to the appearance of the blue and white bowl, he saw something very essential, that is, the aura emanating from the porcelain.
The aura emitted by the blue and white bowl in front of them was stronger than the antiques they had seen just now, indicating that its collection value should be greater.
In addition to Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao, Lu Lao and Master Cong were obviously also very optimistic about the beautiful blue and white bowl, and they watched with wide eyes one by one.
Soon, they whispered to each other.
After a while, Lu Lao said with a smile: "This old gentleman, can you give us a good look at this bowl?" ”
"Of course." The old gentleman nodded his head in agreement without hesitation.
The owner of the blue and white bowl is an old man wearing reading glasses, about seventy years old, the person looks very thin, but the crane has a childish face and is very strong.
Then the old man carefully placed the bowl on the tea for Lu Lao and them to identify and appreciate.
After the things were put down, Lu Lao and the others took out magnifying glasses one after another and looked at them in detail from all angles.
The more Lu Lao looked at them, the more joy on their faces became, and they showed great interest.
With the permission of the old man, Lu Lao and the others then carefully checked the inscription on the low foot of the blue and white bowl.
I saw that it was written, "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty", and what was written was a slender and neat Kai, and the lines were very smooth.
"This is the blue and white official kiln of the Qianlong period!"
After seeing the official money at the bottom clearly, Lu Lao and most of them made a judgment in their hearts, thinking that the blue and white bowl in front of them was a fine product of the official kiln in the Qianlong period, which was rare to see.
"Xiao Yi, this bowl is good, right?" After looking at it and putting the bowl down, Lu Lao turned around and asked with a smile at Yi Yang.
Yi Yang nodded and said, "It feels really good, it's worth seeing." ”
"Qianlong official kiln?" Lu Lao asked him in a low voice again.
Yi Yang shook his head and replied softly, "You can't just draw conclusions about this. Lu Lao, it's better to see it clearly. ”
Lu Lao said: "In my opinion, this bowl is not picky, it is very delicately made, it is simply flawless!" ”
Yi Yang said: "I can see this, but it is too perfect to take a good look at it." ”
"Oh? How do you say that? Lu Lao was shocked.
He felt that there was something in Yi Yang's words, and he seemed to mean something.
If other ordinary people commented on the blue and white bowl that was exquisite in their opinion, then he might not care, but it was Yi Yang who expressed his opinion, and it was the expert he specially invited to help them do the appraisal, so he naturally had to pay attention to the other party's opinion.
Yi Yang said solemnly: "Doing well does not mean that something must be an official kiln, since ancient times, there have been many masters of old-fashioned people, and porcelain can be made more exquisite than that produced by the official kiln." There is still a certain difference between imitation and official kiln, in addition to the different fetal quality of the official kiln, there are also certain specifications, that is, the characteristics of the imitation, the imitation of the people is heavy in a "imitation" word, no matter how imitation can not be made into a real official kiln porcelain, there is still a certain difference. ”
"I know that." Lu Lao nodded in agreement, "Xiao Yi, then you mean that this bowl is imitation?" But I look very old, it's an old porcelain. ”
Yi Yang shook his head and smiled: "No, I didn't mean that, I just asked some questions, and I'm not sure." ”
"Then take a closer look, it's kind of a slap in the face. To tell you the truth, I like this porcelain very much, and when I first saw it, I felt that it was very different. Lu Lao pleaded.
"Well, I'll take a look." Yi Yang nodded in agreement.
So he took out a delicate magnifying glass and examined the large blue and white bowl in detail.
In this process, Bai Wenchao also observed carefully.
This bowl is about 9cm high, about 20cm in diameter, and the bowl wall is curved.
On the inner wall of the bowl there are three circles of Sanskrit mantras, and in the center there is a large Sanskrit text.
The outer wall of the bowl is painted with four groups of dragon patterns, and the dragon patterns are decorated with eight treasure patterns around them.
The so-called "Eight Treasures" is also known as "Eight Auspicious", and its patterns are: conch, ****, treasure umbrella, white cover, lotus.
After looking at the upper part of the porcelain bowl, Yi Yang picked up the bowl again and opened the bottom foot to identify it carefully.
It wasn't until he saw the recognition part clearly that he put the bowl down and looked up.
"How?"
Seeing that Yi Yang had finished checking everything, Lu Lao asked anxiously, and Master Cong and the others also looked at him together, waiting for his answer.
At the beginning, Master Cong and the others were not optimistic about Yi Yang, who had not dried up, thinking that he could not be as powerful as Lu Lao said, but just now Yi Yang showed his hand, and Lu Lao asked for his opinion everywhere, so they couldn't help but believe him.
Yi Yang smiled faintly and said: "The thing is an old thing, the age is relatively old, it is estimated that it is from the Qing Dynasty, but it is ......"
He wanted to speak, but he stopped.
"But what?" Lu Lao asked, "Xiao Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, it's okay, something good is good, bad is bad, there's nothing to be ambiguous." ”
He wanted Yi Yang to give him an answer as soon as possible, whether the blue and white bowl was worth paying a high price.
Yi Yang said bluntly: "That's not the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"It's not an official kiln?!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Lu Lao and Bai Wen were taken aback, but Master Cong and other people standing on the side were also surprised.
"Xiao Yi, how is such a beautiful piece of blue and white porcelain not an official kiln? What evidence do you have? Master Cong questioned.
Yi Yang straightened his expression and replied solemnly: "The identification of a piece of porcelain is generally from the shape, ornamentation, style and other aspects of the porcelain, this is a general identification method, and it is also effective, as long as you live at this point, you will generally not be mistaken." But don't trust it all. It also depends on the characteristics of its era, there are some things that only the Ming Dynasty has, the Qing Dynasty does not, to be precise, a certain era is typical, in other eras it is not so good. For example, when it comes to Ru kiln, everyone will subconsciously think of Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty, but the fact is that there are many Ru kiln porcelain, in addition to the Song Dynasty, other dynasties also have production, official kilns, and private kilns, among which there are imitations vividly, even better than Song Ru kilns. But no matter what, it is still the most typical and collectible of the Song Dynasty, and no matter how well other dynasties do it, it is only an imitation, and it cannot be compared with it......"
He spoke at length, saying a lot in one breath, but he didn't seem to get to the point.
Master Cong became a little impatient after hearing this, and said: "Xiao Yi, don't give so many examples, let's just talk about it, why do you think this is not Qianlong official kiln porcelain." ”
Yi Yang smiled meaningfully: "Master Cong, the example I gave is relevant, and I want to tell you not to be deceived by the appearance of a piece of porcelain. If I'm right, this bowl didn't have a new one, and it was added by someone who made it later. And you know, the Ming and Qing Dynasty official kilns rarely do not carry money, except for special circumstances or for special purposes, the official kilns are extremely rare, and the market is generally not recognized, because it is easy to be confused with the 'angry official kiln'. ”
"Is the money fake?!" When they heard this, Lu Lao and the others became more and more surprised.
"Yes, it's not right." Yi Yang is a positive thing from the Ming Wanli period! But of course, this is not the Wanli period, it should be a folk imitation in the late Qing Dynasty, which belongs to one of the 'angry official kilns'. ”
"Brother Yi Yang, what do you mean by 'angry official kiln'?"
Lu Shuangshuang, who had been quietly following Yi Yang, suddenly asked.
She felt very interesting when she heard the phrase "angry official kiln", so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao couldn't help but glance at each other and laughed.
Yi Yang immediately replied: "'Qi Death Official Kiln' refers to the porcelain of the declining model, which is generally pastel porcelain, but there are also special ones. It usually refers to the works of the old potters after retirement, although they have left the office, but the painting style is no longer so restrictive, and they can also make zuò as they like, so in addition to the fetal quality, the others are better than the official kiln porcelain. A very small number of people whose craftsmanship level has reached or exceeded the official kiln of the same period is commonly known as the "angry official kiln", except that there is no official money, it is no different from the official kiln porcelain, and even surpasses it! ”
"Oh, is that so?" Lu Shuangshuang nodded.
"Xiao Yi, listening to you say this, I also feel that something is really wrong." Lu Lao said suddenly.
Master Cong didn't have anything to refute, but it could be seen that they still had doubts in their hearts, and they didn't believe Yi Yang's words.
"Young man," said the old man who sold porcelain, "you have a great eye, and what you say is the same as what the experts of the auction company say." I won't hide it from you, this porcelain is a long time ago when I was teaching in the northwest when I found it, and then I got it back, one day an old friend came to see me, he recognized this porcelain, said that the thing is very good, it is the official kiln boutique, and then he also invited me to the auction company to collect things, those who saw it also felt no problem, so they took it back, but it didn't take long for them to return the thing, saying that their experts saw it, the thing was wrong, it was an imitation. ”
"Really?!"
The old man was very frank and gave a full account of the facts.
Hearing this, Lu Lao and Master Cong looked at each other.
Immediately, they all looked at Yi Yang together, and at this moment, their eyes all showed surprise and admiration.
It turns out that what he said is no different from the facts, and it is all right!
How is this not impressive?
"Xiao Yi, you're right! It's my lack of eyesight! I really learned that I just did! ”
Master Cong, who had been suspicious of Yi Yang just now, had no opinion at all, but admired Yi Yang.
Yi Yang shook his head and smiled: "Master Cong, you are humble, I should learn from you." ”
"Lao Lu is not wrong at all! You have cultivated such good eyesight at a young age, and the future is really limitless! Master Cong exclaimed loudly, he undoubtedly reacquainted himself with the unremarkable young man in front of him.
"You've won a prize." Yi Yang said modestly.
"Do you want this bowl then?" The old man then asked.
"Xiao Yi, what do you think?" Lu Lao looked at Yi Yang and asked for his opinion.
Yi Yang said: "Although the thing is not the official kiln of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it is really good, and it is an old thing, and the collection value is still there, so you can take it and have a good time." ”
He is telling the truth, it is indeed rare to see an old imitation like that, besides, it is not easy for an old man to sell things, so he has to think about his honesty.
"Well, okay then." Lu Lao nodded in agreement.
Since Yi Yang solemnly recommended it, what else did he have to say, and immediately talked about the price with the old man.
The old man was very talkative, Lu Lao opened him 10,000, and he nodded and agreed without saying a word.
After making this transaction, Lu Lao and the others were about to get up and leave Mr. Xi's house.
However, the strong aura that Yi Yang felt as soon as he entered the door was still clearly and unmistakably there, arousing his great curiosity, and he just wanted to catch a glimpse.
