Chapter 40 Chenghua Doucai Seek Collection and Recommendation
Guo Yi saw these porcelain pieces, remembered the shadow celadon pieces he had bought in Luzhong some time ago, although now the collection of porcelain pieces has slowly risen, but so many porcelain pieces are sold together, there are still relatively few in the antique market, which is also the reason for attracting Guo Yi.
Guo Yi thought about the shadow celadon pieces he had purchased last time, so he slowly looked at them with the eyes in his eyes, after all, it was too difficult for Guo Yi to look at them piece by piece, and there were cheating weapons, in this place where it was possible to pass by the treasure if he delayed for a second, it was better to be faster.
The eyes slowly glanced at the broken porcelain, but to Guo Yi's disappointment, only a few of the porcelain pieces contained aura, according to Guo Yi's judgment, they should belong to the Republic of China period, and the rest were all modern, or the old porcelain was accidentally broken and then mixed up in it for the purpose of earning one point.
The boss saw Guo Yi stop and didn't say anything, after all, it was a momentary atmosphere to just say that he was driving people away, and no one and money couldn't get along.
It's just that Guo Yi didn't stay long, and after determining that those broken porcelain pieces were just a pile of worthless modern handicrafts, Guo Yi walked to the next stall.
Guo Yi stood for a while at another stall, shook his head and left slowly, and went to the next one, the impression of this ghost market has plummeted, there are too many imitations, and there is even a stall full of old objects.
Guo Yi was walking forward, but a young man about thirty years old was squatting in front of a shop with anxious eyes but not saying a word, with a newspaper spread in front of him. On top of it is only a porcelain in the shape of a bowl.
Guo Yi saw that his footsteps were not free and stopped, and he stood in front of the man.
"Can you get started?" Guo Yi said softly to the man in front of him
"Yes, but be careful." The young man didn't talk much. After hearing Guo Yi's words, he should arrive.
Guo Yi didn't talk nonsense, took out the prepared hand in his pocket and put it on his hand, and then gently picked up the bowl-shaped porcelain.
The porcelain in Guo Yi's hand is not so much like a bowl as a cup, because its volume is really small, Zhuang Rui carefully measured it, and estimated that the diameter of this porcelain cup is about 8.2 cm. The bottom diameter is about 3.85 to 4 centimeters, and the height is about 3 centimeters, which is about the size of a three-and-a-half-dollar wine cup.
The shape of this cup is extravagant. The lip edge is very thin, lying on the foot, the thin tire is white and fine, and the glaze is soft and mild. Moist and dense without a hint of brown eyes. The inside of the cup is smooth, but the outer wall is painted with a delicate and elegant mountain stone peony, and the child hen that is ready to move, the peony flowers and leaves are dense and dense, the arrangement is beautiful, the chicks are round and lovely, all make wings and jubilant and happy state, two roosters one is in the form of a crow, and one looks back at the hen to forage for food. The whole set of pictures is vivid and lively. Turning over the cup, there is a blue and white double-framed six-character regular script of "Ming Chenghua Year" at the bottom. The shape is square, the strokes are straight and extremely clear.
To say that this cup has shortcomings, that is, above the rim of the cup, there is a copper coin-sized place obviously with traces of repair, and the repair process is not very good, so that people can see at a glance that this object has been broken, you know, porcelain is fragile, easy to break, and repairing porcelain and framing calligraphy and painting, is a technical work.
Some precious porcelain will inevitably be damaged after hundreds or even thousands of years, and after being repaired by a skilled craftsman, it is not carefully observed, and the traces of its repair cannot be found at all, and even more, it needs to be seen with an instrument, and the repair technique of this cup is clumsy, and it is the handiwork of outsiders at a glance.
"How much does this cup cost?" After Guo Yi looked at it for a long time, he raised his head and asked the person in front of him
"Don't bargain, 250,000 yuan, if it's suitable, you can take it after the boss pays the money, if it's not suitable, please put it down for me." The young man looked at Guo Yi and knew what he saw, but looking at Guo Yi's clothes, he said in a somewhat stiff tone
"Can't it be cheaper? 250,000 is a bit expensive? Guo Yi shook his head and said
"Two hundred and fifty thousand points must not be less, otherwise you can put down the cup for me and leave." The young man said
"Big brother, are you in any difficulty?" Guo Yi stared at the young man in front of him for a long time, trying to see something in his anxious eyes, and only when the young man was impatient with Guo Yi did Guo Yi ask
"You, do you buy kelp and inquire about other people's privacy? If you buy it, take the money and don't buy it, please leave, don't bother me to sell things," the young man ignored Guo Yi and continued to say in a stiff tone
Guo Yi didn't speak, he wanted to use a word to confirm his identification, but he didn't expect this person to be so vigilant, looking at the cup in his hand, it can be determined that it is an old object, he has seen the color blue with his eyes, and it can be determined that it is from the Ming Dynasty.
To talk about Chenghua Doucai"...... Zhu Ming went here far away, and he still saw it when he became a Yagu. The cold mangs are always known as treasures, and the chicken tank is the most crowned. The peony is beautiful and the spring breeze is harmonious, and the roosters are gorgeous one by one. The gold-tailed iron is far away from the head of the hiding, and the anger is like listening to Jia Chang's call. The state of good work is exhaustive, and the atmosphere of tending to China changes at any time, and I am alone in Qi Shi, and I dare not delay Anxing Yiyan. ”
From this Qing Dynasty Qianlong Bingwu imperial inscription antique chicken bowl cup poem, we can know that the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup, in the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period more than 200 years after Chenghua can still be vaguely seen, and is respected as the most successful work in Chenghua porcelain, the Qianlong Emperor not only let the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln at that time imitate, but also inscribed poems.
"Doucai" porcelain, created and fired in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, on the snow-white porcelain carcass fired in the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln, with the unique Chenghua period of the elegant blue and white under the glaze as the outline line, and then fill in the glaze with gorgeous red, green, yellow, purple and other colors, into the kiln after low temperature secondary firing, purple and red, complement each other.
There are history books that say that Emperor Chenghua is keen on calligraphy and painting, once he admired the Song Dynasty painting of the "son and hen", saw the hen with a few chicks foraging for the warm scene, very touched, on this painting inscribed a seven-word poem, expressing the hen's care for the chicken. Perhaps because of this, Emperor Chenghua germinated his wish to make a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. Another scholar analyzed that there are two purposes for painting chickens: first, the first year of Chenghua is the Year of the Rooster; Another is the homonym of "auspicious" of "chicken" and "auspicious".
The earliest Ming Dynasty Wanli "Shenzong Record" that contains the value of the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup wrote: "Shenzong is fashionable food, and there is a pair of Chenghua Colorful Chicken Bowl Cups in front of the Emperor, which is worth 100,000 yuan. In addition, according to the Ming Dynasty Wanli Shen Defu's "Ye Hou Edition", it said: "Into the kiln wine glass, each pair to Bo silver 100 gold." Among them, the value of 100,000 is similar to that of silver and 100,000 gold, and "worth 100,000" should mean that the value of the chicken bowl cup is equal to the copper 100,000 coins used in circulation at that time, and "100,000" is an imaginary number that describes many.
Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup is the imperial wine cup of the Emperor Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, due to the high requirements of the emperor's house when burning, the yield is not high, the top grade is offered to the court, and the defective product is destroyed, so the number of people who spread to the people is very small. There is already a saying among ancient porcelain collectors: "It is better to be a kiln than to be rich." Chenghua official kiln porcelain is sought after, which can be seen from Cheng dù
During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the political stability dìng, the handicraft system in the Chenghua period also reached its peak, Doucai porcelain is the masterpiece of the Chenghua period, it is a major contribution made by the Chenghua Dynasty to enrich the variety of colored porcelain, Chenghua Doucai is to use blue and white as the outline line of the ornamentation, or make a local pattern and then fill in the color, and it is fired at a low temperature for the second time.
Guo Yi knows, Chenghua Doucai its color is transparent and bright, especially the red color, bright and dazzling, the imitation is difficult to reach, the yellow color is varied, the green color has shades, purple is more than the black purple of ripe grapes or the light purple of the eggplant skin, the special is the purple, the color is like hematite, the surface is dry and dull, the above points can be used as a special basis for identifying Chenghua Doucai.
If Guo Yi thinks that he is not mistaken, it should be the genuine Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, which is very rare among the people, even if the cup is damaged, its price is incalculable by Guo Yi.
If Guo Yi's cup in his hand is a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, this thing was sold at a sky-high price of 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars at Sotheby's Hong Kong in 1999, becoming the highest transaction record of ancient Chinese porcelain in the auction market at that time. , Although the one in front of him is a little damaged, but if Guo Yi buys it for 250,000 yuan, it can be regarded as a leak, and the young man in front of him may not know the value of the chicken bowl cup in front of him, so he will sell it at this price.
"Do you want cash or check, transfer?" Guo Yi was silent for a while, and asked the young man in front of him, "Transfer money, there is a bank ATM in front" The young man in front of him saw Guo Yi open his mouth to buy, a trace of joy appeared on his face, and said
"I'm from ICBC, which bank are you from?" Guo Yi asked, the current ATM is not yet able to transfer money between banks, because Guo Yi has this question.
"I'm also from ICBC." The young man said.
Guo Yi nodded, did not say anything and returned the chicken bowl cup to the young man, after the payment, the chicken bowl cup belonged to him, and it was not yet.
The two came to the bank ATM, Guo Yi asked for his bank card number, inserted his card into the ATM, selected the transfer column, and then entered the young man's account number, and after success, Guo Yi turned around and called him to let him take a look at the transfer success and account number shown above, and then took the chicken bowl cup from his hand, took out his bank card, and asked the young man to check it himself.
After a while, the young man finished the inquiry, and after confirming that it was correct, the two officially completed the transaction, and the young man had an excited look on his face, but he didn't say anything, hugged Guo Yi and left.
Guo Yi wrapped the chicken bowl cup in newspaper, held it in the palm of his hand, and then continued to walk forward. (To be continued......)
