This Cong-shaped bottle is the work of the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln, this bottle is modeled after the shape of the jade cong, and the glaze used is also unique, with a touch of marriage in the thick green, so that the whole bottle body presents a strong and deep color, and the bottle body also has criss-cross opening pieces, which makes the whole Cong-shaped bottle full of royal self-origin, majestic and heavy atmosphere.

Such bottles were very popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the Qing Dynasty, during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods, because during the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty had lost control of the Western Regions, so the best jade was very scarce.

This kind of jade ornament, which became popular in the Han Dynasty, has also become very scarce because of the scarcity of raw materials.

Therefore, in the early days of the Qing Dynasty, the eunuchs of the palace office, in order to please the emperor, often burned some cong-shaped bottles to please the ruling class.

Jin Muchen had seen such Cong-shaped bottles in several large museums in China before, but those Cong-shaped bottles were all works in the early years of the Qing Dynasty without exception.

But those Cong-shaped bottles are very different from the one in front of them, and those Cong-shaped bottles are mostly in the form of white porcelain as the base and blue and white glaze because of the popular white porcelain and blue and white porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In terms of color, it is closer to the color of jade, and this is the most popular azur color in the Song Dynasty, which makes the collection value and artistic value of this Cong-shaped bottle a few points higher.

In addition, the age of this Cong-type bottle is very early, so far, it can be said that it is the earliest batch of porcelain of Cong-type bottles, you must know that before this Cong-type bottle. But it's all jade. This makes the collection value of this celadon bottle even higher.

You must know that Hirota Matsushi's fame in Japan is not ordinary. Although his collection of Chinese cultural relics is not as large as that of Yokogawa Minsuke and Takashima Kikujiro, in terms of quality, it is a cut above the cultural relics collected by these two men, because of his aesthetic vision and profound understanding of Chinese cultural relics.

This celadon vase is the most precious of all the Chinese cultural relics in his collection, and it can be said to be the top work of his life's collection. So from this point alone, the value of this vial is immeasurable.

Jin Muchen has also seen such Cong-shaped bottles auctioned in domestic antique auctions before, but most of those Cong-shaped bottles are works in the early Qing Dynasty, idiot blue and white Cong-shaped bottles, but such Cong-shaped bottles were auctioned by auctioneers two or three years ago.

But at that time, that kind of Cong-shaped bottle could be auctioned for a price of one or two million, and now the value of this one in front of me is now. That's not to mention.

The work of the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is also celadon. You must know that such porcelain, now in the country, together in total, does not exceed 500 pieces.

The porcelain of the five official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty is very few in China.

With such an attribute bonus, then the value of this Cong-shaped bottle can be roughly judged.

According to Jin Muchen's estimates, the value of this Cong-type bottle is at least two to three times higher than that of those Cong-type bottles in the early years of the Qing Dynasty.

If you take into account the bonus of the former owner of this Cong-shaped bottle, then if this Cong-shaped bottle is sent to the international auction, the price will definitely be higher for a long time.

You must know that Hirota Songfan has searched countless cultural relics in China in his life, but the celadon jar in front of him, which represents the highest achievement of his collection, was not scavenged by him in China.

He bought it at an auction in Japan, and the original owner of the bottle was quite impressive.

The original owner of this bottle was the famous Tokugawa Ieyasu in Japan, and it was during the Tokugawa Ieyasu era that this bottle was lost from Chinese mainland to Japan, and finally fell into the hands of this shogun known as the Great Demon King in Japan.

Later, it has been kept in his house, and it has been put for hundreds of years, after the Curtain War, the Tokugawa family has completely lost its power in Japan, although it was not wiped out by those Curtain Sect, but it was also a great injury.

Coupled with the strict defense of those who overthrew the shogun, the Tokugawa family has completely lost its influence in Japan since then, and there is no possibility of reviving the family style in the political and business worlds.

The descendants of the Tokugawa can be said to be extremely miserable, and most of them later changed their names and surnames to fend for themselves, while some of them kept the surname and refused to leave the family roots.

But they can only live by eating the family's old bottom, and since the Showa period, they can't hold on, and they begin to auction off the family's assets one after another to live.

And this celadon vase, just in the Showa period into the market, was a descendant of the Tokugawa family, was unable to mix, so the family took out part of the old bottom for a public auction, at that time caused a shock in the Japanese collecting world.

You must know that the Tokugawa family has controlled the government of Japan for hundreds of years, but they have accumulated a family foundation that is unimaginable to ordinary people, although in the war of the downfall, their family wealth was looted by those reformists.

But the rotten ship also has three pounds of nails, not to mention that this is a family that has ruled Japan for hundreds of years?

So at that time, the whole of Japan collectors flocked to the market, launched a fierce competition, at that time other people's eyes were focused on other treasures, only Hirota Matsu discerning pearls, found this celadon vase, and did not spend too much money, took this vase.

And this is also the most proud collection of his life, in the future he has invited friends countless times, to the house to see this celadon vase, and with his people, countless times boasting about his collection of this celadon vase.

Therefore, the origin and story of this celadon vase can be said to be known to everyone in the Japanese collecting world.

Even Jin Muchen, after going back that day, when he checked some allusions, he also searched for this little story on the Internet, and couldn't help but sigh that the luck of this Hirota Songfan was really good enough.

But today this celadon jar is going home, not in this Japanese museum for these damned Japanese to continue to play with and watch.

After putting away this celadon jar, Jin Muchen continued to walk inside, you must know that the porcelain donated by Hirota Matsufan to the Tokyo National Museum can have more than 200 pieces in total, although not necessarily all of them are such fine products as this celadon jar, but there are also many of them are very representative masterpieces.

For example, the one he saw next, the Azure Three-legged Incense Burner, was also produced by the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was also one of the most proud collections of this Guangtian Songfan in his life.

You must know that there are two kinds of collections that Hirota Matsufan is most proud of in his life, one is the Southern Song Dynasty celadon, and the other is the leak he picked up from Tokugawa's house.

In fact, he also collected a lot of Tang Sancai, but although the number of Tang Sancai in his collection is not less than that of the Yokogawa Minfu collection, but in terms of quality, it is not as good as the quality of the Yokogawa Minfu collection.

This three-legged incense burner produced by the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty is also one of the most proud collections of this Guangben Songfan.

The color is the same as the previous celadon jar, all of which are azure glaze, and the body of the incense burner also has criss-cross openings, and at the bottom of the incense burner, you can still see a lot of glaze and glaze droplets.

And the volume of this three-legged incense burner is more than that celadon cong-shaped bottle, which looks very gorgeous and generous.

But in terms of value, this three-legged incense burner is far less valuable than the Cong-shaped bottle.

After all, the Cong-shaped bottle is an ancient ornamental vessel, and it is also the most popular kind in the advanced porcelain market, and this three-legged incense burner, although it is also produced by the official kiln, is also a high-grade celadon, but after all, this is a practical vessel, so the price will naturally be much lower than that Cong-shaped bottle.

And the origin of this three-legged incense burner has also been boasted many times by Hirota Matsufan.

It turned out that in 1918, this Guangtian Songfan went to the capital to collect it, when he was wandering around the glaze factory in the capital, and happened to see a farmer setting up a stall to sell this three-legged incense burner.

It's a pity that he didn't have much money with him at that time, so he couldn't buy this incense burner in time, so he could only watch this incense burner be bought by the owner of an antique store surnamed Ye in Liulichang at that time for a hundred oceans.

Hirota Songfan was very annoyed at that time, returned to the Wanguo Hotel with enough tickets, and came to Boss Naye's shop, after all, he had come to the Liuli Factory in the capital many times, and he was very familiar with the shops and bosses here.

But his reputation in China was already very bad at this time, and almost all the owners of antique shops in the capital knew that the vicious dog was such a Japanese devil.

So the boss surnamed Ye, when he saw that it was the notorious vicious dog Hirota Matsufan who came to talk about business, simply closed the door and disappeared.

This made Hirota very annoyed, so he contacted a few local gangsters who often acted as thugs for him to find trouble with Boss Ye, but he didn't think that Boss Ye was also a hard stubble, and people had kung fu under their hands, so they directly beat those gangsters to a knot.

In the end, this Guangtian had no choice, so he could only find several guys from the Black Dragon Society from the Jinmen side to come and help.

Unexpectedly, Boss Ye still didn't pee on this pot, and the Black Dragon Club didn't give face to the door, and directly beat the person fat, Guangtian saw that it was okay, so he directly used the old routine and went to the police in the capital to help.

But the police didn't dare to do it when they saw this Boss Ye, if it was other people, they would have taken the money to do things, but this Boss Ye was different, he was not only the old capital, but also a good friend with the senior officials of the Beiyang government who were all smoky at that time, of course the police did not dare to offend him.

In the end, Hirota had to go to the Japanese consulate to help put pressure, which made Boss Naye bow his head. (To be continued.) )
