Jin Muchen replied to Candace with a smile, having collected such three sets of KPM porcelain, he was no longer interested in going down in this market.

Yesterday was able to collect a Lidheng clock, which was already a very pleasant surprise to him, but he never thought that his luck was really good, and the next day he actually received three sets of KPM porcelain here, these three sets of porcelain are not ordinary, and they can even be said to be the ancestors of European porcelain!

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen didn't have the heart to go down in this market anymore, he just wanted to go back to the hotel, take a good rest of the three sets of porcelain, and then take a look at their original appearance.

Took Candace back to the hotel, ate hastily, and then went back to the room.

At this time, Candace had lost the spirit of the day, and after visiting the market that day, it seemed that all her energy had been exhausted, and when she came back, she washed up and went to sleep.

Jin Muchen didn't bother her with any letters, just sat in the living room, constantly playing with these three sets of porcelain.

Although these three sets of porcelain look very complete, because the previous owner did not take good care of them, the surface of the porcelain is damaged, and there are patterns, but if you look closely, you can still see the distinctive characteristics.

One of the sets of porcelain is pure white porcelain, without any color painting on it, but if you look closely, you can see that the outside of this set of porcelain has a faint layer of relief imprints.

The painting on the second set of porcelain is on the plate. and bowl body. And on the body of the cup. However, the painting has been scratched, but if you look closely, you can still see that this should be the painting of mythological stories from the ancient Roman period.

As for the third set, it has a relatively new fashion, white porcelain as the base, but there are a lot of flowers and birds on the body of the porcelain, although the patterns have been scratched, but you can still feel the rococo style used in those paintings.

After playing around with it. Jin Muchen threw all these three sets of porcelain into the purple jade space, waiting for the purple jade space to repair the three sets of porcelain, he wanted to wait until after the repair, and take a closer look at what age these three sets of porcelain came from.

At the same time, he turned on his computer and began to look up the history of the KPM porcelain factory.

It turns out that as early as ancient times, when Chinese porcelain was marketed in Europe and was warmly sought after by the royal families and nobles of European countries. At that time, many European royals tried their best to copy Chinese porcelain to make huge profits.

It's just a pity that their copycat plans. None of them worked out.

Until the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Prussian king Frederick the Great wanted to find a group of alchemists to alchemy himself and find a way to make money.

At that time, there was a guy named Bergett, who was also thick-faced and black-hearted, and wanted to eat under the hands of Fredet the Great, so he fooled the king, saying how good his alchemy skills were, and he really fooled the king.

So the king invited this Bergart to his own territory, spent a lot of money to build him a real room, and invested a lot of money every year to make him alchemy.

But a few years passed, and this Bergot didn't even make a fart except for eating, drinking, and merrymaking, because he was afraid that Frederick the Great would find out his account for the empty room and punish him, so he had to flee overnight.

The run ended up in Dresden, where he ran headlong into another king, August II, the mighty, who was later canonized King of Poland and a mad lover and abettor of Chinese and Japanese porcelain.

This Burgett was also a talent, and when he saw that the king liked porcelain, he fooled the king and said that he could make porcelain, which made the king happy.

So in Dresden, Meissen set up a porcelain factory for him, and he was in charge of firing porcelain.

This Bergett is also fateful, and the firing has not been successful for several years, but one day when he has no intention of mining the soil, he happened to mine a kind of mineral containing kaolin near the nearby city of Waldenburg, and it was this accident that in 1708, the first batch of hard porcelain in Europe was fired successfully.

King Auguste II, who had been funding the factory, was overjoyed to learn of this result, so he asked the people of the Meissen porcelain factory to imitate Chinese and Japanese styles of porcelain, and soon the products of this porcelain factory caused a sensation in Europe.

And soon became the ancestor of European porcelain, and their products were highly sought after by the royal families of European countries, so that later Frevice I was very jealous.

Later, in 1751, he dug up the corners of Meissen, poached many masters of porcelain firing from them, and even the suppliers of raw materials, and established the Royal Porcelain Factory of Berlin, also known as KPM!

After establishing the KPM porcelain factory, the artist had a significant influence on the development and operation of KPM's innovative and innovative development.

He not only set off a refined and elegant lifestyle, but also promoted the European banquet culture, and even promoted KPM porcelain to the royal diplomatic gift, forming the tradition of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Since then, KPM porcelain has become a treasure in the imperial collections of Russia, France, England, Spain, North Holland, Sweden and other countries. Later Prussian kings used KPM porcelain to decorate the decoration of the court or to show off.

Since then, Prussia has become a major exporter of luxury goods to Europe, and KPM's fine porcelain is a luxury item for which they have a high reputation.

Prussia became the center of porcelain production and manufacturing in Europe at that time, but later the center of porcelain in Europe was transferred several times.

In the mid-to-late eighteenth century, with the rise of the French Sèvres porcelain factory, the royal families and nobles of Europe seemed to have suddenly opened a door.

The rise of the Sèvres porcelain factory represents the birth of Europe's own artistic style ceramics.

Later, with the decline of the national strength of European countries, especially the rise of the British Empire, the porcelain center of Europe shifted to Britain again.

It was also through the hands of the Royal Dalton porcelain factory in the United Kingdom that the famous bone china was born!

To be honest, we Chinese have been playing porcelain in our own circles, and even until now, we still think that our Chinese porcelain is the best.

But in fact, as early as the eighteenth century, Europeans began to be able to make porcelain, and their porcelain-making level has quickly caught up, especially after the emergence of the Royal Dalton Porcelain Factory and the Wickywood Porcelain Factory in England, in fact, Europeans have surpassed us in porcelain making.

So much so that now, the world's top and most expensive ceramics are basically produced by European porcelain factories, as for our original famous Jingdezhen, has been reduced to a large road goods production and distribution center.

Every year, only a large number of low-end price ceramic products can be produced here, relying on the price advantage, to market the world, the real high-end field, Jingdezhen has been completely unranked.

This cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness in China's porcelain industry!

Jin Muchen sighed, then closed the computer, drank a few more bottles of beer, and then fell asleep, when he woke up the next day, Candace had already woken up, the two went downstairs to have breakfast, and Candace went to the beach to play.

Jin Muchen didn't have the heart to bask in the sun outside, so he made an excuse to return to the hotel, and as soon as he entered the room, he took out the three sets of porcelain that were thrown into the purple jade space yesterday.

The three sets of porcelain have all been restored in the purple jade space, the paintings have been restored to their original state, and the scratches on the bottom of the plate and the bottom of the bowl have completely disappeared.

The exquisite white porcelain and painted colors were shining in the sunlight, and Jin Muchen carefully picked up one of them and turned it over to check the bottom of the bowl.

Sure enough, a complete blue king's scepter was seen at the bottom of the bowl, this scepter was in the shape of a relatively small Arabic numeral 1, but some uneven decorations could be seen on it.

And at the corner of the bottom foot of the edge of the bowl, you can actually see some German letters, as well as number numbers, seeing these numbers, Jin Muchen couldn't help but slap his thighs, it seems that it should be right.

The porcelain produced by KPM, in the earliest days, was used by the royal family and was not sold to the outside world, so almost every set of porcelain will have a code on the foot.

And almost every ten or five years, or when the emperor dies and the imperial power changes, the shape of the blue scepter on the bottom of the porcelain produced by the KPM porcelain factory will change, and these changes are also recorded in clear text and patterns.

For example, the batch of porcelain produced by KPM in Jin Muchen's hand, looking at the blue scepter pattern at the bottom, this should obviously be the ceramic products produced by KPM from 1763 to 1780, during the reign of Frevice I.

Looking at the number on the bottom foot, carefully calling up the factory log of the KPM factory, and after some comparison, Jin Muchen couldn't help but pat his thigh.

This Nima is amazing, this is Friet I, respectively for the Potsdam Palace, Breslau Palace, Berlin Palace, Sanssouci Palace, Charlotte Palace, a total of 21 sets of banquet tableware set and 450 pieces of individual products ordered from KPM, including three sets of tableware!

For example, the "Rococo" style banquet tableware set is mentioned in the record, such as: relief decoration series, ancient Greco-Roman style decoration series, and new style decoration series, all of which were created by the master sculptor Friedrich Elias Meyer.

Damn, it's developed now, Jin Muchen never thought that he was actually in Qingdao, and only spent 900 yuan to buy the German palace tableware, and there were three sets, three sets of different styles!! (To be continued......)
