Chapter 421: Official Kiln

After looking at the miscellaneous objects, the rest of the things are porcelain, but there are not many porcelain, only five.

And these five pieces of porcelain, four of which are export porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty, but this kind of porcelain that looks like a lot of flowers on the surface Chu Chen will not buy, not to mention that he doesn't like the Western-style paintings on it, just the number of exports that year means that such export porcelain, the collection value will not be large.

In the past few months, Chu Chen has also seen people in Uncle Wu's store holding such export porcelain for identification, and when they hear that something is real, but the value is so low, many people will show incredible looks, and these people are all novices who think that the genuine product is worth money just by exception.

And the remaining piece of porcelain is a sunflower-style pen wash that looks like an imitation of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This vessel is made of eight-petal sunflower type, the whole body is imitated official glaze, that is, pink and blue glaze, the glass texture is strong, the surface of the vessel is open with large patches, and dense, the mouth of the vessel is slightly purple, the bottom foot is brown and red like iron, and the price is 8,000 pounds.

Chu Chen took a cursory look, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he didn't expect that the level of imitation of this imitation was quite high, the glass texture of the official kiln, the large pattern on the back of the turtle, and the "purple iron foot" were all imitated vividly.

But when he took the pen wash in his hand and observed it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he was.

Chu Chen never expected that this sunflower-style pen wash, which he originally thought was an imitation, would actually be a genuine product from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty!

The official kilns of the Song Dynasty have five famous kilns: Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun and Ding, but the most precious. I'm afraid it has to be an official kiln. The mystery of the kiln site is the biggest mystery of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the site of Bianjing in the Song Dynasty has sunk into the ground. So far, the ruins of the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty have not been excavated.

According to historical records, the official kiln porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty was the power of the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong. Created by a large number of porcelain masters. It is the first in the history of ceramics in our country to be monopolized by the emperor personally, not as a commodity of the imperial porcelain, not rewarded by the emperor, ordinary people can not have a piece of official porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty uses agate into the glaze, its glaze is thick, like jade, non-jade and better than jade, cracked, elegant, plain, long, it can be said to be full of graceful and luxurious royal charm.

The firing time of the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty is only more than ten years, and the kilns in the north are mostly steamed bread kilns, which are much smaller in space than the dragon kilns and ridge kilns in the south. This also determined that the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty could not have a large output.

In addition, when the Jin soldiers broke the city, Huizong ordered the jade to be burned and the kiln was destroyed, so far, no complete vessel of the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln has been found in the whole world.

When thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh for the catastrophe that happened to the official kiln.

The official kilns of the Song Dynasty are mainly plain faces, with no gorgeous carvings and no colorful paintings. At most, it is only decorated with concave and convex straight edges and strings, giving people a quiet and subtle and restrained beauty.

And the sunflower brush wash in front of you is the same, the enamel is thick, and the porcelain is not modified. Mainly with the beauty of glaze and the beauty of cracks, to pursue the supreme realm of art.

Because the official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty were provided for the emperor alone, the materials were extremely luxurious. At any cost, add high-quality jadeite, agate and other jade powder into the glaze.

Moreover, I used the firing method of combining pads and branches. It makes the force on the utensils more even, and makes the fetal bone stronger. Thus creating conditions for the enamel to be thicker and more homogeneous.

Just like the pen wash in Chu Chen's hand, it looks like fat and fat, caressing it like satin and jade, and holding it as if it is oily, which makes him can't help but be amazed.

In addition, there are the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln particularly famous turtle back large open piece and purple iron foot, in general, Chu Chen's hand of the sunflower style pen wash, the shape is simple and solemn, the enamel is like fat like jade, the crack piece is smart and elegant, the shape is like the back of a turtle, the color is like eel blood, the glaze is very beautiful, and the mouth of the vessel is slightly purple, and the bottom foot is brown and red like iron.

Taken together, these characteristics are enough to prove that this sunflower-style brush wash is the work of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and this vessel has been passed down from the Northern Song Dynasty to the present, but only there is a gap smaller than a grain of rice at the edge of the mouth, and the rest of the place is intact, which is really rare.

So far, there are only a few pieces of porcelain that are really identified as the official kiln, and even a whole vessel has not been found, of course, there may be someone who has collected the official kiln utensils secretly, but in any case, the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln pen wash in front of you can be said to be precious and valuable!

At this time, Chu Chen didn't know how to describe the shocked and inexplicable emotions in his heart, he wanted to know that Lu Dao was an official kiln! The treasure that antique collectors all over the world dream of, if they can get a piece of official kiln porcelain, antique collectors will treasure it and keep it carefully.

Or some collectors simply inlay porcelain tiles into gold and silver jewelry to appreciate, such as jadeite diamonds are precious, but the mining space is infinite, and Song official porcelain, as a non-renewable rare cultural relic, has surpassed jadeite diamonds in terms of value.

Like the official kiln pen wash with a diameter of twelve or thirteen kilograms in Chu Chen's hand, if it is auctioned now, even if it is tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, he will not be surprised.

Wu Ke saw that Chu Chen had been looking at the things in his hand in a daze, so he asked a little strangely: "Ah Chen, what's wrong with you, is there anything wrong with the things in your hand?" ”

As soon as Wu Ke said this, Chu Chen suddenly came back to his senses, and secretly said that he was too lacking in vigilance just now, fortunately, there was Wu Ke by his side, otherwise he would probably be found by the shopkeeper to find out the problem, if that was the case, it would be difficult to say if he wanted to get this pen wash, if he was the last to be obtained by others, it would definitely be the biggest regret in his life.

So after he gave Wu Ke a leaved look, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, just thinking about something." ”

Wu Ke understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Achen, it's not too early, let's go, and I'm going to invite Mina and them to dinner today!" ”

"Alright, let's go!"

In order to avoid the shopkeeper from being suspicious when he saw his strange appearance just now, Chu Chen first put the pen wash back on the shelf, and after walking a few steps, he pretended to be a little reluctant to go back and get the pen wash.

Not to mention, in this way, it really dispelled the doubts of the store owner, the store was not big, Chu Chen was stunned just now, and the boss saw it clearly at the cash register.

Originally, he thought that Chu Chen had discovered something, but now that he was doing so, he suddenly thought that Chu Chen's previous performance was just struggling with whether to buy such a thing.

"Boss, can these three things be cheaper?" Chu Chen asked in English.

As soon as Chu Chen spoke, the boss and Wu Ke were surprised, they didn't expect that Chu Chen's English would be so fluent, and it was an authentic British accent.

This immediately made the shopkeeper think that Chu Chen had been living in England for many years, so he said: "At most, you will get a ninety-five discount." ”

Nowadays, in British second-hand stores or antique stores, things are clearly priced, and the shopkeeper generally gives you a ninety-fifty discount which is enough to save face.

Ten years later, the antique dealers here have learned the jargon from their counterparts in China: "Antiques are not renewable, so they are priceless." ”

Therefore, they are also like domestic antique dealers, often lion's mouth, the price or shouting is extremely high, let you bargain, sometimes you also to a very low price, they will also pretend to be difficult for a while, the most half push and half on the spot with you to make a deal, and after the transaction is successful, will be like the country, and a few words of ingenuity to you.

However, Chu Chen was new to the school, and he didn't know much about this, so he habitually said:

"Boss, you see I bought you so much, you can also discount more!"

The boss was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said secretly, I have given you a ninety-five discount on face, why are you still insatiable! Thinking of this, he just wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and said:

"I can give you a ninety-fifty discount at most, but there is a precondition, you have to buy one of my things, otherwise you can only get ninety-fifty off!"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Boss, your request is too difficult, what if that thing doesn't suit my liking?" ”

By implication, what if what you're selling is a fake?

The boss didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can see the thing, it must be a good thing, besides, if the thing is not good, you can not do it at all, and you have nothing to lose." ”

Chu Chen felt that this was indeed the reason, so he nodded and agreed.

The shopkeeper said hello, walked inside, opened a door, and walked in.

Taking advantage of this period, Wu Ke also explained the rules here to Chu Chen with some amusement.

Hearing that this was the case, Chu Chen touched his nose a little embarrassed and said, "Aren't I used to it in China?" ”

Wu Ke looked at his appearance, smiled coquettishly, and after half a sound, she asked a little strangely: "Achen, who did you learn English from, how do you speak it so well, and you still have a British accent?" ”

The two of them have been playing for the past two days, and Wu Ke usually orders dishes when eating, so she didn't know that Chu Chen's English level was so good.

So Chu Chen calmly explained the reason, and Wu Ke was stunned for a moment.

"Achen, you said that you talked with the taxi driver all the way and practiced your English like this?" Wu Ke asked incredulously.

"That's, don't you know that your husband is a language genius?" Chu Chen said triumphantly.

Wu Ke stepped forward and touched Chu Chen's forehead and said, "I don't have a fever, how can I talk nonsense!" ”

Seeing that Wu Ke just didn't believe it, Chu Chen could only say helplessly: "Okay! I've been studying at home for a long time! ”

Wu Ke nodded with relief: "That's right!" ”

Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said secretly, how can you tell the truth and just don't believe it! (To be continued......)
