The use of porcelain walls to decorate a copper cup is somewhat similar to the style of porcelain panel paintings.

But after all, the porcelain plate painting is used to decorate the house, but what you use to decorate is a copper cup, try to ask the price of the copper cup or the porcelain cup, which is higher?

But anyone who knows porcelain may know that there must be an artistic porcelain cup with a higher price, so I really don't know who can think of such a brain-opening design.

People who don't know how to do it will definitely ask like this, but for Jin Muchen, he really knows that there is such a group of people with big brains who have done such a thing.

And this group of people is the French national kiln Sèvres porcelain factory, for this they also set up a bronze casting studio, specializing in how to use porcelain to decorate bronze!

But this is a long time ago, and it was because of a moment of brainstorming that they did such a thing.

Later, after they really figured out the price difference between fine porcelain and fine bronze, they rarely did such things again.

Of course, during this period, they did not produce many such porcelain or bronze wares, and there were quite few of them that were handed down to the world.

Therefore, because it is difficult to define whether it is porcelain or bronze, there are very few utensils in circulation, so it is natural that many people in the porcelain industry do not know such things.

For example, the owner of this stall, he specializes in the porcelain business, and you look at the porcelain decorations in his stall. and price customization. It all shows that this stall owner should know porcelain very well. But he doesn't know much about this thing that copper is not bronze and porcelain is not porcelain, so he will mark the price of fifty yuan for such a thing.

Jin Muchen didn't think much about it at all, and directly took out fifty dollars and slapped it on the boss's hand, and then hurriedly left the stall with the four-like thing.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had an afternoon to shop, he would even be eager to go back now and throw this cup into his purple jade space to repair it.

"What the hell is this? Porcelain cups? Or a copper cup? ”

Candace watched Jin Muchen carry the cup and couldn't put it down. Even when he walked, he was staring at this cup, and he couldn't help but ask him with curiosity.

Jin Muchen smiled and turned his head to her and said, "In essence, it should be a copper cup, but considering its origin, it would be right to classify him as a porcelain cup." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably a porcelain from the Sèvres factory of the Royal French Porcelain Factory, but the age and the people involved are more special......"

Jin Muchen began to explain the origin of this cup to Candace.

It turned out that after the French Revolution in 1793, King Louis XVI was beheaded, and the original royal family of France was completely wiped out. Until Napoleon came to power.

During that period of turmoil, there was no royal funding. France's national kiln, the Sèvres porcelain factory, was on the verge of bankruptcy until Napoleon's government took over the Sèvres porcelain factory.

After that, the Sèvres porcelain factory was renamed the national Sèvres porcelain factory, which became the exclusive kiln house of the state.

Napoleon himself attached great importance to this porcelain factory, and he appointed the scientist Buchania as the director of the factory, constantly strengthening and improving the skills and processes of the factory.

Thanks to Napoleon's own intervention, the Sévres porcelain factory was revitalized and, with the improvement of its skills and the renewal of its processes, began to flourish again.

Therefore, the craftsmen of the Sèvres porcelain factory had a lot of reverence for Napoleon himself, and later Napoleon led the French army to defeat the European intervention forces, and gradually conquered the entire European continent, which made him reach the pinnacle of god-like status in the hearts of the French people.

In order to commemorate the achievements of Napoleon himself, and considering Napoleon's preference for copperware, the Sévres porcelain factory also set up a special copper casting center to study the process of inlaying copper ornaments on porcelain.

Later, after Napoleon became king, the Sèvres porcelain factory also produced a number of sycophants that sang the praises of virtue, most of which were half-porcelain and half-bronze works.

The style of those works at that time was mainly reflected in the porcelain or the inlaid copper trims, all painted with laurel crowns, or painted with the head of Napoleon himself, or Egyptian-style decorative patterns, to highlight Napoleon's military exploits and status.

First of all, the mouth of this copper cup has a pattern of laurel costumes, and the portrait of the Western figure on the porcelain wall inlaid on the outside of this cup is blurred because of its age and poor preservation, but Jin Muchen deduced that the portrait should be the portrait of Napoleon himself.

In this way, the price of this cup is incredible, don't look at it is not always pure porcelain, but since this is a product produced by the Sèvres porcelain factory, and he should still be the emperor's special imperial supplies, not to mention that this emperor, or the famous Napoleon in European history, then the price of this cup is not easy to estimate.

According to Jin Muchen's estimate, the price of this cup should not be lower than the price of the copper gilt egg vases in his hand!

After all, such utensils have not been circulated much, not to mention that they were used by Napoleon, you must know that this French emperor has a good reputation in Europe.

In modern times, there are many historians who are die-hard fans of this emperor, and even many collectors, who are quite willing to spend a lot of money on his royal belongings.

This can be seen from the auction of the oil painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" a few years ago, there are several samples of that painting, and in addition to the collection of the French museum, the others were bought by the rich people at home.

If you throw this cup out at that time, it will definitely cause a lot of sensation in the market.

But now buddy is not short of money, this French national treasure, let's keep it yourself!

Since the last time he received the three Sévrewr's bronze gilt egg vases, Jin Muchen has not made up for the history of the Sévres porcelain factory during this time.

So now explain the origin of this cup to Candace, but what he said is the head, Candace can be regarded as understanding the origin of this cup, and at the same time happy for Jin Muchen, Uncle Fang is right, this guy is really lucky.

But at the same time of good luck, you can't help but admire his eyesight, first of all, he can pick out this one from so many antiques, and he can't do it without a pair of good eyes.

In addition, you can choose a real baby, not to be eye-catching, you also have to have a lot of knowledge, if it is half a bucket of water, even if you put a lot of real treasure in front of you, you may not be able to recognize.

So when Candace looked at Jin Muchen, his eyes had already changed, his boyfriend had real skills!

Of course, Jin Muchen also noticed that Candace looked at him with a little admiration, and his heart instantly swelled, man, the one who doesn't want to be able to have a towering image in the eyes of his girlfriend?

Thinking of Candace's eyes, Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel refreshed, thinking about whether he should also buy a gift for Candace.

It seems like I haven't given her anything good in a long time.

After thinking about it, he noticed in those stalls, this antique exhibition is really big enough, and all kinds of treasures can be said to be everything.

Soon Jin Muchen fell in love with a small treasure at a stall specializing in selling small ornaments, which was a jewelry box made of tortoiseshell, about the size of a palm, and the height could be about ten centimeters.

The top of the jewelry box is also carved with a phoenix pattern, and a copper handle is inlaid on it, with a clear Chinese style, which looks quite comfortable.

And this jewelry box is not simple, there are four layers inside, don't look big, but the workmanship is quite exquisite.

It should be an old object circulated among the people during the Qing Dynasty, and it can be done so finely, it must also be the use of large families back then, the yellow and black tortoiseshell color, indicating that this tortoiseshell is also old, and the tortoiseshell on the tortoiseshell peacock lamp he collected back then is not the same.

The tortoiseshell on the lamp is obviously not as old as the tortoiseshell used in this jewelry box, which can be distinguished from the color.

The stall owner is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, she looks very beautiful, and her speech is quite neat, as soon as Jin Muchen asks the price, this tortoiseshell jewelry box actually costs three hundred dollars, which is really not cheap.

But what you can do for your girlfriend, how can you bargain? Directly took out three Franklin and slapped them on the female boss's hand, she was dazzled and smiled, and told Candace that she really had a vision for finding a young man, which made Jin Muchen feel that his three hundred yuan was really not in vain.

And Candace's praise for the female boss is also very useful, and indeed she feels that her vision is really not bad, especially when it comes to choosing a boyfriend.

And the tortoiseshell jewelry box he gave himself is indeed very beautiful, antique, fine workmanship, the most important thing is not to look at it small, but the practical function is not weak at all, in terms of the more pragmatic character of the Americans, such a thing, they like it the most.

Jin Muchen dragged Candace's hand and just wanted to leave the stall, but the moment he turned his head so inadvertently, he felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and a golden light rushed straight to the bottom of his eyes, making his heart beat violently.

Is luck going against the sky? I just picked up a Napoleonic copper cup, and did I want to pick up other good things? (To be continued......)
