Chapter 962: Old Peace's Compensation
PS: First of all, I wish all friends a happy Chinese New Year's Eve, and wish everyone a New Year's greeting, I wish you all good health and good luck in the new year!
Also, this chapter was supposed to be sent last night, but there is Min. Sentimentals,Until today, I haven't reviewed the pass guò.,I can only revise it word by word and re-transmit it.,Fortunately, this time it's smooth......
Lao Chang, like Zhao Xueyi, is a well-known broker in the antique shop in Beijing, but in Lao Chang's eyes, there are only two kinds of people, one is rich and the other is poor. The so-called rich people are those who can often make a lot of profits from each other, and vice versa.
The usual strategy for the rich is to put a long line to catch a big fish, as long as the other party can always buy things from him, in addition to fidelity, he will also discount the price. Of course, the discount will not be too big, but with his sharp teeth, even if it is only a small discount, the buyer will feel that it is worth the money.
And often treat the poor, then there is a knife to slaughter, many buyers who go to the house, but their own strength is not strong, have suffered a little loss on him. However, he didn't dare to go too far, even if he sold a fake, it would vary from person to person, and the remaining part of the buyers, either the price of the thing was expensive, or the thing was lacking, so that people could not find trouble.
Because of this, although Chu Chen had heard of Lao Chang, he had never bought anything from him, even with Uncle Wu's relationship, Lao Chang didn't dare to lie to him, he didn't want to deal with this kind of person.
Lao Chang's home is also a small courtyard, located near Panjiayuan, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk.
Coincidentally, when Chu Chen's car stopped at the door of Lao Chang's house, Lao Chang happened to deliver a guest with something in his hand to the door.
He often looks like he is fifty or sixty years old. looks like a simple person, if you don't know who he is. I couldn't have imagined that this guy was as cunning as an old fox.
He saw Chu Chen and the others coming. was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly greeted everyone with a smile. Although he was very natural, Chu Chen still saw a trace of complicated feelings flashing in his eyes, which contained pity, disappointment, depression, and so on.
When Xiang Facai saw Lao Chang, the anger in his stomach rose, but he didn't attack on the spot, until Lao Chang led everyone into the living room, he said with a smile: "Lao Chang, the purpose of my visit today." I guess you should know, I won't say more, just tell me what you plan to do? ”
Lao Chang smiled and said, "Mr. Xiang, most of my money has been converted into rice dollars now, and I don't have any money to pay you back." ”
When he said this, he secretly said "bad luck" in his heart, why did this fat man immediately find someone to identify him, if it was a day or two later, he would have gone abroad. Now, in addition to compensating for the loss, you have to have an extra meaning, otherwise this fat man will definitely not give up.
"It's all to blame on that girl. It's not life and death, but I want to go to my mother's house to see some relatives! Chang Chang thought with some resentment.
Xiang Facai sneered when he heard this: "Your movements are quite fast!" ”
Lao Chang said again and again: "Mr. Xiang, I really don't have any money." If I have money, I will definitely not say a word, and I will return the money to you immediately. Or maybe not. I still have a few things here, which add up to a bit more valuable than that wishful spirit. If you think you can, I'll give it to you, how about it? ”
Xiang Facai found that what Lao Chang did was really the same as what Duan Xuefeng said, but he didn't want to be verbose with Lao Chang, so he asked with a cold face: "Really?" ”
Lao Chang swore and said: "It's all this time, why am I still lying to you?" If something is wrong, I will dispose of it with you, and there will definitely be no complaints! ”
Xiang Facai waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay!" Go get something, but if I'm not happy with it, then don't blame me for being rude. ”
"Mr. Xiang, if you put a hundred hearts, you will definitely be satisfied! You have a few tea first, and I'll come when I go......"
The four of them drank tea for a while, and Lao Chang cautiously walked in with two boxes, put the boxes on the table, and after opening the lid of the boxes, Lao Chang said with a smile on his face: "You guys take a look at these two things first, and I'll go get the rest." ”
With that, he took his leave and went out the door again.
Seeing the contents of one of the boxes, Chu Chen smiled and said, "I am very capable, and I can actually get a glazed flower bottle." ”
Xiang Facai stretched out his head to take a look, and then asked with some confusion: "Mr. Chu, what is the glaze color in the glaze, I haven't heard of it before." ”
Chu Chen replied: "Glaze color is also called underglaze color, in addition, it also has a name called Li. Mound. Hair. Porcelain, presumably you should be familiar with Mr. Xiang, right? ”
China's colored porcelain originally only had two kinds of overglaze color and underglaze color. The porcelain artists of the tomb invented a new colored porcelain process, glaze in color, so there are three kinds of colored porcelain in our country.
Glaze color is also called underglaze color, color is just a general term, in fact, there are more than five colors, strictly speaking, any color can be burned out. The characteristics of its technological process are that a thin glaze is applied to the embryo of porcelain, and then it becomes white porcelain after being fired at high temperature in the kiln, and then various pictures are depicted on the white porcelain with various colored glazes, and then fired at low temperature in the kiln once, this procedure is basically the firing process of glaze colored porcelain.
Then apply a layer of transparent glaze on the fired porcelain, and then enter the kiln to burn at a high temperature. At this point, the glaze porcelain is complete.
It's easy to say, but it's very important to grasp the temperature when firing several times, if the temperature is too high or too low, and if the temperature rises too quickly or too slowly, the whole kiln porcelain may be scrapped. As a result, this craft was mastered by only a very small number of people, and the production was very small, and by the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the craft had been lost, and it survived for about thirty years.
Later, the state mobilized all the technical forces to tackle the key problems and restore this process and produce the famous liquor. Mound. Hair. Porcelain.
Xiang Facai listened to what Chu Chen said, and said excitedly: "Could it be that this bottle is Mao. Porcelain? ”
"How is this possible?" Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about Li. Mound. Hair. There is no such type in porcelain, and if I am not mistaken, it should be a work from the late Qing Dynasty. It's also relatively rare. Of course, it's true or not. You'll have to see it before you know it. ”
Xiang Facai was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he immediately adjusted his feelings. Please ask Chu Chen to help identify the authenticity of things.
This bottle is about 40 cm high, with a beautiful shape, a wide straight mouth, a bulging neck, and an oblique abdomen after folding the shoulders, which is very rhythmic and beautiful. The outer wall is decorated with underglaze colors, and the theme is painted with folded peonies, grapes, and pomegranates, and the colors are plain and elegant, just like a traditional Chinese ink painting. At the same time, it also uses the perspective method of Western painting, and combines realism and freehand in one, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality.
In addition, the bottom of the bottle has a blue and white "Qing Dynasty Xuantong two years of Xiangnan porcelain company" regular script.
This bottle presents a typical liquor in both the process of making zuò and the style of painting. Mound. Porcelain style, set. The beauty of the fetus, the beauty of the glaze, the beauty of the craft, the beauty of the shape of the vessel, and the beauty of the color decoration are in one. In addition, the Shonan Porcelain Company was destroyed in the war in 1918, so it can be said that this Li. Mound. Porcelain is a rare treasure.
Chu Chen carefully observed. He nodded and said, "It's indeed genuine." ”
Although Xiang Facai was very happy to hear that the thing was genuine, but after a while, he sighed and said, "Hey! It's a pity it's not Mao. Porcelain. ”
Duan Xuefeng smiled: "Come on." It's good if it's genuine, if it's really hairy. Can porcelain still be your turn? ”
Xiang Facai smiled and said, "People, they all have some long-looking prospects." And I just like Mao. Porcelain, I dreamed of owning a set. I don't know when this dream will come true. ”
At this time, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang." My kiln factory resumed the 7501 porcelain making process a while ago, I don't know if you are interested? ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Xiang Facai and Duan Xuefeng both showed expressions of disbelief.
Chu Chen smiled slightly: "I brought back a few sets from the porcelain capital a few days ago, if you are interested, you can go to my shop together to have a look." ”
Xiang Facai excitedly began to gear up when he heard this, and said, "Not only am I interested, but I am also going to buy a few sets!" ”
Duan Xuefeng also nodded again and again in agreement, even if this is just a modern imitation, with the name of porcelain, the collection value will definitely not be low, and not to mention the collection value, tell others that this kind of porcelain is used at home, which also has a special face.
Chu Chen smiled, and when he saw Lao Chang walking back with his things again, he said that he would solve the matter in front of him first, and he would talk about the porcelain matter later.
In another box that Lao Chang brought over just now, it contained a piece of Khotanese white jade weighing about ten kilograms. Haiyu is pretending to be an authentic Hetian white jade seed, which is worth a lot of money in terms of the current market situation.
The second time I took it, it was also two boxes, one of which contained a piece of pine stone inkstone made in the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty, which was a treasure, and of course it was worth a lot.
Speaking of which, the combined value of the contents of these three boxes is about the same as the money used to buy the Ruyi, even if it is not much worse.
However, in order to compensate Xiang Fa for making a fortune, Lao Chang could only endure the pain and take out another artifact.
Lao Chang opened the box and introduced: "Mr. Xiang, this is a Yuan blue and white entwined peony pattern jar that I bought some time ago......"
"What? Yuan Qinghua? Hearing this, Xiang Facai couldn't help but exclaim. And Chu Chen and the others also looked at each other, this old man wouldn't be stupid, would he actually use Yuan Qinghua to compensate Xiang Facai?
"No, no, no!" Lao Chang waved his hand again and again: "It's not the real Yuan Qinghua, but it was imitated during the Yongzheng period." ”
Xiang Facai was a little puzzled when he heard this: "I don't seem to have heard of the imitation of Yuan Qinghua in the Yongzheng period, Lao Chang, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”
Chu Chen also shook his head and said: "There are no imitations of the Ming and Qing dynasties or the Republic of China, because in that era, the antique circles all over the world believed that the Yuan Dynasty could not produce blue and white porcelain with bright colors. ”
They believe that the earliest firing of blue and white porcelain was in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, because it had just begun to be fired, the technology was not up to standard, so the blue and white hair color was black or gray. The bright blue and white hair color was after the Ming Yongle began and Zheng He's fleet brought back imported cobalt materials. In this case, how could there be Yongzheng's imitation of Yuan Qinghua? ”
In our country, many porcelains have imitations, and the five famous kilns and the official kilns of the past dynasties have imitations. The Ming imitated the Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty imitated the Song and Ming Dynasties, and the Republic of China imitated the Song Ming and Qing Dynasties. But there are exceptions, and that is Yuan Qinghua. The reason for this, as Chu Chen said, was that everyone at that time thought that it was impossible for the Yuan Dynasty to fire beautiful blue and white porcelain.
There are two more examples of this, one is the standard ware of Yuan blue and white, which is now in the Dawei Museum's Yuan blue and white dragon pattern elephant ear vase.
It appeared in the capital in the 1920s, and several big men got them out of the temple and carried them to Liu. Glass. factory, want to exchange a few dollars. The name of the Yuan Dynasty is clearly written on the bottle. Dan Liu. Glass. All the experts in the factory laughed: Hongwu blue and white flowers can't be burned well, your Yuan Dynasty is so beautiful? And such a large item, it must be fake.
Eventually, the ear bottle fell into the hands of David David, and people thought he was a "fool" and a "slap in the eye". Even he himself didn't dare to put them on display at first, and put them in the warehouse as if he had paid for tuition.
The second piece is the famous Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin plum bottle, this plum bottle is an unearthed artifact, when it was just unearthed, the authoritative department set the age for it to be the Ming Dynasty, fortunately, there were people at that time who saw the pearls, and finally stayed in the country.
The reason why people at that time thought so was because the technological characteristics of Yuan blue and white porcelain only persisted until the early Ming Dynasty, and there was no trace after Xuande in the Ming Dynasty.
Due to the difference of national character, the out-of-print of raw materials, the variation of painting style, especially the change of dynasties, the masterpiece of blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty came to an abrupt end in history, and even imitation did not appear in the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, there was no imitation of Yuan blue and white porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties, forming a very special blank area of nearly 600 years.
It was not until the fifties of the last century that a doctor from the United States determined the existence of Yuan blue and white porcelain. In the 70s, China unearthed a large number of Yuan Dynasty artifacts, and demonstrated the preservation of Yuan blue and white flowers in a scientific way. It wasn't until the late 70s that the world officially recognized Yuan Qinghua. It was not until the mid-to-late 80s that the porcelain capital began to imitate the Yuan blue and white plates, and then imitated other different shapes of utensils.
The real situation is that in China and even in the world until the mid-eighties of the last century, few people still know about Yuan blue and white porcelain, let alone a large number of imitations. At the time, the imitation market seemed to look good, and it was thought to be real. But today, when people gradually find out the essential characteristics of Yuan blue and white porcelain, they find that Yuan blue and white porcelain is imitable, and there is no opportunity for future generations.
And in this case, Lao Chang actually said that he had a copy of Yuan Qinghua in the Yongzheng period, and Chu Chen was sure that Lao Chang's thing was either a fake or he made a mistake.
Lao Chang smiled and said: "To be honest, I used to think that the Qing Dynasty did not imitate Yuan Qinghua, but the characteristics of this thing of mine, with my more than 20 years of experience, I can be sure that it is the Yongzheng period, if you don't believe it, you can take a look." ”
Listening to what Lao Chang said so promised, everyone also felt strange, so after Lao Chang opened the box, they looked into the box, and what was placed inside was a mackerel algae folded plate. This plate is made of zuò very beautifully, very much like a fine porcelain produced in an official kiln...... (To be continued......)
