The glaze of this lamp is thick, and the kiln glows with gold and silver light, and the texture is smooth and even, which is very rare. The bottom of the foot is purple-brown in color, thick and hard, and heavy as iron slag.

When Chu Chen touched the glaze with his hand, he could clearly feel a feeling of unevenness, and when he looked at the light source at a 45-degree angle, he could clearly see that those "rabbit filaments" were sunken under the black glaze.

Under the high-magnification glass, it can be seen that its glaze has fine cicada feather patterns, dotted with snowflake-like Venus and silver stars. Its flowing and drooping rabbit hairlines, showing shades and shades, zigzag and irregular like the hills and ravines of the Northwest Loess Plateau, showing the color of the top and the bottom of the light, so that it disappears, giving people a sense of natural beauty.

Judging from the above characteristics, Chu Chen felt that this rabbit should be a genuine product, and after testing it with his ability, it was indeed the same as he thought.

There are many black glazed bowls in Song Jianyao, but such a piece of haode glaze water is obviously very rare. The key is that the circle foot of this rabbit is engraved with the word "for the emperor" in the vertical line, indicating that this is a tribute porcelain, which can be described as very rare.

Then, Chu Chen picked up another rabbit millimeter, and after looking at it carefully, it was also a "forcible" rabbit millimeter.

After Chu Chen put the rabbit in his hand back into the brocade box, Director Niu hurriedly asked, "Chu Shao, I don't know what you think of this little ...... Oh, how about a rabbit hair? ”

"It's a good bunny, I really like it." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Director Niu was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "We don't understand antiques, Chu Shao, let's set a price." ”

Chu Chen thought for a moment and stretched out two fingers. As soon as he wanted to speak, Director Niu said with surprise on his face: "Chu Shao." Can this pair of small bowls be worth 20,000? It's a little too much! ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's not 20,000, it's 200,000!" ”

Hearing Chu Chen's answer. Niu Junfeng, who was sitting opposite, almost squirted out the sip of tea he had just drunk in his mouth.

Director Niu was also stunned, and only after half a sound did he stammer, "You...... You're not mistaken, these small black bowls are worth so much money? ”

Such a pair of exquisite rabbit cups turned into a small black bowl in Director Niu's mouth, which really made Chu Chen a little speechless, and he said: "Director Niu, this pair of rabbit cups itself is a rare boutique, and you must know that this is a tribute to the palace." The value, of course, is different. ”

"That's too much, isn't it?" Director Niu said in disbelief.

Chu Chen said helplessly: "Director Niu, I'm the buyer, can I still double the original price a few times?" I'm telling you, that's the price, if you don't think it's appropriate, forget it! ”

When Director Niu heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "How can this be, I'm not afraid that you will suffer!" Don't talk about that, take a look at the inside of this box. ”

said. He opened another brocade box, and then said: "Look at this pair of small cups, what kind of chicken bowl cups I heard from the appraisers before. said that it was imitated in the Qing Dynasty, and the man persuaded me to transfer it to him before, but at that time. I wasn't short of money, so I didn't say yes. ”

"What? Chicken bowl cup? ”

As soon as the words fell. Chu Chen couldn't care about anything else, and couldn't wait to look inside the brocade box.

I saw a pair of small and delicate cups in the brocade box. The cup is open and slightly skimmed, the mouth is gradually constricted, the bottom is flat, and the feet are lying down. The cup body is small, the contour line is flexible, the straight is hidden in the curve, and the song is straight, showing a dignified and graceful, elegant and beautiful charm.

The cup wall decoration is matched with the shape, which is sparse and smooth. The outer wall is painted with a hen leading several chicks to leisurely forage for food, the chicks have their own expectations, the mood is cute and expressive, and the lake stone, the moon season and the orchid are decorated occasionally, and the view is quite interesting.

Judging from the appearance, this is the famous Doucai chicken bowl cup.

In the antique world, the Doucai Chicken Cup can be said to be known to everyone, and the most prestigious of them is the Doucai Chicken Cup during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. Whenever it comes to Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, people can't help but dance with their eyebrows and yearning.

And the Doucai Chicken Cup can not help but be valuable now, the earliest Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup value of the Ming Dynasty Wanli "Shenzong Record" wrote: "Shenzong fashion food, there is a pair of Chenghua Colorful Chicken Bowl Cup in front of the Emperor, 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." ”

And Emperor Qianlong once wrote a poem "Yongji Bowl Cup" and praised: "Zhu Ming went far away here, 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. ”

Doucai chicken bowl cup is so precious in ancient times, and now it can be said that it is more valuable, and the survival of Chenghua Doucai porcelain is not much, according to incomplete statistics only about two hundred and fifty pieces, and basically stored in the treasure island and the Forbidden City of Beijing, the folk are very few.

Most of the more than 200 pieces are stored in the treasure island, and not many are stored in the Forbidden City in the capital. And the chicken bowl cup is only a very small part of it, and it is even more scarce, and there are only a few pieces in the Forbidden City in Beijing, which can be said to be rare among the people. Scarcity is expensive, and the value of the bucket chicken bowl cup is obvious.

It is precisely because the Doucai chicken bowl cup is so famous that it has attracted endless imitations. Qing Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang all generations are all imitation burning. Among them, the Kangxi imitation is the best, from the shape to the pattern are close to the original.

In terms of the bucket in front of you, in terms of the style and fineness of the painting, if it is an imitation, it is most likely to be an imitation of the Kangxi period, but as for what it is, you can only know after you get started.

Chu Chen solemnly took the cup from the box to his hand, and the first thing he observed was the bottom heart, only to see that there was a two-line six-character paragraph in the regular script "Ming Chenghua Year" written in the blue and white columns, and the font looked a little crooked. If you look closely, you will see that every time you turn the pen, it will be a little slower, and when you stop the pen, there will be a concentration of diamonds.

Seeing this unique knowledge, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, because from the perspective of style, this is not the imitation that Director Niu said, but the knowledge of the Chenghua Dynasty.

Throughout the Chenghua Dynasty, it is this immature and slightly clumsy year, which is also a major feature of Chenghua porcelain, and it is not easy to imitate. The three dynasties of Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty all have imitations of Chenghua paragraphs. Although the color and style of the imitation are similar to the real thing, there are still flaws to be found.

The imitation of the Ming Dynasty appears to be thick and heavy, sparsely arranged, the circle bar is too large, and the penmanship of the Chenghua section looks like the pen is different, the color is also thick but not bright, only the clouds are hazy, bubbles and Chenghua kiln are similar. The imitation of the Qing Dynasty is better than the imitation of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the color and style of writing, which is very similar to the real thing.

However, the real Chenghua model has a layer of clouds, bubbles like beads, and the font is blue and white. The imitation of the Qing Dynasty can be seen under the magnifying glass that the clouds are very light, the bubbles are uneven, the cyan of the word is also scattered, the tire color is slightly translucent yellow or white flashing blue, and the bottom foot glaze sand is less yellowish.

Therefore, judging by the style, this cup is likely to be the Chenghua chicken bowl cup.

Chu Chen didn't expect that the cup in his hand might actually be genuine, which made his hands tremble a little.

You must know that in recent decades, the Chenghua Chicken Bowl Cup has only appeared at auction three times before and after, all of which were released by Taicang Qiu's family, which were seen in Lot No. 31 of the 1980 Autumn Auction of "Taicang Qiu's Anti-Xizhai Porcelain Special Sale" and Lot 429 of the 1981 Spring Auction "Taicang Qiu's Anti-Xizhai Rare Porcelain Special Sale III".

The transaction price has been 5.28 million Hong Kong dollars and 4.18 million Hong Kong dollars, one of which is now in the 1999 spring auction No. 409 of the 1999 spring auction in Hong Kong and Jiangsu, and the transaction price is an astonishing 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars, which became the highest record for ancient porcelain in China at that time.

If this is really a genuine Chenghua chicken bowl cup, regardless of its value, with its scarcity, he must buy it anyway.

Chu Chen took a deep breath and continued to concentrate on his research.

To prove whether this is a genuine product, the fetus and glaze are the main judgment basis, Chu Chen carefully observed, only to see that the fetus is white and delicate, thin and light, and it can be said that the fetus is as thin as paper. If it is genuine, then look at the sun, the fetus is tooth yellow and tooth white, and the kiln red can be seen at the place where the tire is exposed.

Chu Chen walked to the window, looked at the chicken bowl cup, and sure enough, he saw the above performance, and there was sticky sand at the exposed tire of the circle, this sand was the granular fine sand left over from the glaze of potassium fruit, and the product after firing looked crystal clear. The Qing Dynasty three generations of imitation kiln red is lighter, the new imitation kiln red is heavier, the soles of the sand is yellow sand, this sand is opaque, no oil.

After reading the tire, and then looking at the glaze, this cup of white glaze is duck egg blue, soft and lush, the same as the inside and the outside, which is also the characteristics of the real product. If it is the third generation of imitation Chenghua chicken bowl cup of the Qing Dynasty, the glaze is thin and blue-white and pinkish-white, and the oil is not as good as Chenghua. The new imitation chicken bowl cup glaze is very similar to the Chenghua glaze, which is yellowish in the green, but the overall glaze is turbid and opaque.

Chu Chen used a magnifying glass to observe the color of this cup in detail, and the color of this cup is also the same as the real thing, bright and bright, especially the yellow-green glass is very strong, the eyes are yellow-green and purple, and the red is as bright as chicken blood.

The ornamental layout of the Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup is reasonable, the brushwork is smooth and round, and the painting is vivid and lively. The painting was made by the imperial painter of the imperial court, and after the design was completed, it was submitted to the imperial approval, and then the teacher of the "Renzhi Palace" personally painted it with a half-gong pen on the small cup.

If it is a genuine product, the two groups of chickens must be depicted vividly. The mountain stone in the painting is beautiful, the blue grass is green, and it is a prosperous scene. And the same is true of the painting on the chicken bowl cup in front of me.

Therefore, according to the above characteristics, Chu Chen already has eight or nine points of certainty, it is certain that this is a genuine product, but after all, it is worth tens of millions, out of prudence, he still used the ability, and the result was not unexpected, the chicken bowl cup in his hand is indeed a genuine product in the Chenghua period!
