I didn't expect to encounter a small bowl made by Tang Ying today, which was really an unexpected joy.

Just as Chu Chen was about to take out a magnifying glass to take a closer look, the old lady asked a little impatiently, "Young man, do you want to buy this bowl?" This bowl is really handed down from my ancestors, and if it weren't for something happened to my family, I wouldn't have thought of selling it. ”

Chu Chen saw that the old lady was a little anxious, so he used his ability to verify the authenticity of this bowl, and then said, "Yes, I don't know how much money you are going to sell this bowl?" ”

The old lady hesitated for a while and said: "This is the dowry when I got married, my parents said that it was a treasure handed down from my ancestors, or you give 50,000 yuan, can it be successful?" ”

Speaking of zuihou, the old lady's voice became smaller and smaller, at this time she was a little embarrassed in her heart, and she also felt a little inappropriate in her heart that it was a little inappropriate to ask for 50,000 yuan for such a small bowl, but there was really no way at home, so she could only say it hard.

If it was someone else, Chu Chen couldn't say how much he wanted to pay back, but in the face of the old lady in front of him who looked a little helpless, he couldn't be ruthless, and the price of 50,000 yuan was already a big leak for the true value of this bowl, so Chu Chen agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, old lady, let's go to the bank now!"

“haode！ haode！ When the old lady saw Chu Chen agree, she was really overjoyed, and she chanted "Buddha bless" in her heart.

After that, the group walked towards the bank, and before leaving, Chu Chen also saw the young clerk in the antique shop just now looking at Chu Chen and them playfully. It is estimated that in his opinion, Chu Chen is completely a complete fool. would actually spend 50,000 yuan on a modern imitation.

Transferred the money, at the door of the bank. Mrs. Tang left in a hurry to say goodbye, and after inquiring just now, Chu Chen also knew that this old lady's surname was Tang, and I heard that her ancestral home was in the Northeast, Chu Chen guessed that this old lady Tang might really be Tang Ying's descendant.

After the old lady left, Chu Yulan couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, what is this bowl?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "This thing is called Ying Qing, also called Ying Qing. Its predecessor is Qingbai porcelain, which is called "color white and blue" in the antique shop, it is a kind of porcelain created by Jingdezhen in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, characterized by the glaze color is blue and white and elegant, the glaze is clear and beautiful, the fetal quality is firm and greasy white, and the color is warm and moist like jade, so it is called "fake jade" in history. ”

Li Qingzhao of the Southern Song Dynasty has the sentence "jade pillow screen window" in "Drunken Flower Yin", and the jade pillow refers to the blue and white porcelain pillow. Some of the Qingbai porcelain products of the Yuan Dynasty are also printed with the inscriptions of "Jade out of Kunshan" and "Jade out of Kungang". Yingqing was mass-produced during the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, "traveling at home" can be described as a sought-after commodity in the market. ”

"At that time, most of the shadow celadon was made of transparent flying phoenix and other patterns. These patterns are carved on the body by highly skilled ceramic artists, and then fired at a high temperature with a transparent blue glaze. ”

"Xiao Chen. The small bowl in the box is the shadow of the Song Dynasty? Li Guodong asked curiously.

"It's not at all." Chu Chen said with a smile: "This bowl is from the Qing Dynasty, but the producer is not simple, he is Tang Ying, the famous pottery governor of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Xiao Chen. Are you saying that the inside of the box is something fired by Tang Ying? As soon as Chu Chen's words fell, everyone heard someone next to them interject.

Everyone looked back. Unexpectedly, it was Uncle Wu and Chen Dewang, who had not been seen for a long time, Chu Chen hurriedly said hello to the two. asked, "Uncle Wu, Old Chen, why are you two here?" ”

Uncle Wu smiled: "I came to find Lao Chen for something, Xiao Chen, you just found something good?" ”

Before Chu Chen could answer, Chen Dewang said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go to my store first." ”

"Okay! ……”

The group came to Chen Dewang's antique shop, and after entering, Chen Dewang poured tea for everyone, and then went straight to the point.

Chu Chen took the small bowl of Ying Qing out of the box and put it on the table.

"Shadow Celadon !" When Uncle Wu and Chen Dewang saw the small bowl of Yingqing on the table, they were immediately attracted by it.

After a while, Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Old Chen, you come first!" ”

"Haha, then I'm disrespectful!" After Chen Dewang nodded, he carefully took the bowl in his hand and looked at it carefully, not letting go of the glaze, ornamentation and style.

And Chu Chen took the opportunity to tell Uncle Wu how to buy this small bowl of shadow green.

"Something is indeed real!"

Chen Dewang put down the small bowl and magnifying glass in his hand, and exclaimed: "This bowl has a round shape, delicate fetal quality, uniform glaze, the overall natural elegance, and there is no flaw, it is a very rare shadow celadon boutique carefully fired by Tang Ying, Xiaochen, your luck is really good!" ”

After Uncle Wu looked at it carefully, he sighed with emotion: "That person really has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, such a beautiful small bowl of shadow blue is actually regarded as a modern imitation by him." ”

Chu Chenhan said with a smile: "I think that person definitely doesn't know who the "Tao Man" is, and I estimate that he identified it with the characteristics of the shadow celadon of the Song Dynasty, and this bowl has no flaws at all, it is estimated that because of this, he thinks that this bowl is a modern imitation." ”

There are several key points when appreciating the shadow celadon of the Song Dynasty, the first thing to consider is that the feel and appearance of the shadow celadon glaze is like green and white jade, if it encounters dry and dull, rough glaze, or vice versa, it is too clean and lubricated, it is necessary to be cautious.

There is also the color of the fetus of the shadow celadon, white and delicate, fine washing, some utensils are fine to the extent that they are almost out of birth, but in the process of billet making and glazing, there is often an uneven place, the billet tire has a thick and thin, and the glaze has flowing, so if the fetal quality is too fine and white, such as powder, the exposed tire and the glaze are smooth and flawless, you must be careful.

And this small bowl looks to be clean and lubricated, and the tire quality is also very fine, the exposed tire and glaze are smooth and flawless, probably because of this, the person would have thought that this small bowl was an imitation, but these characteristics are normal for the ceramic works of the Yongqian period of the Qing Dynasty.

"That's how it should be." Uncle Wu and Chen Dewang shook their heads with a smile, if that person knew who the "Tao Man" was in the future, it was estimated that he would regret his death.

"And how much is this little bowl worth?" Wen Yuting asked curiously.

Uncle Wu thought for a while and said: "Although there are many things left by Tang Ying, I haven't seen a few of Ying Qing's works, and they are such fine products, so the significance is even more extraordinary, I estimate that the price of this bowl should be around one and a half million." ”

"Wow, that's expensive!" Li Guodong and they couldn't help but be shocked by this price, they didn't expect that such a bowl could be worth one and a half million, which was really incredible.

"Of course."

Chen Dewang said: "Not to mention the exquisiteness of this shadow celadon, let's just say that Tang Ying has a strong mark in the history of ceramics in our country." He was already in his fifties when he first became a pottery supervisor, and he didn't know anything about ceramic production, so he ate and lived and worked with the potters of the imperial kiln factory for three years, and mastered all aspects of ceramic production, and even mastered the changes in materials and heat of ceramic production. ”

In the 28 years of Tang Yingdutao, he has carried out a number of innovations, in the Yongzheng period, not only in the doucai innovation, but also under his auspices to innovate the successful kiln glaze. In the Qianlong period, his exploits are countless, in the Forbidden City Museum a large bottle of various colors called "porcelain mother", which was specially fired by Tang Ying in order to cater to the "elegance" of the Qianlong Emperor. In addition, there are innovative works such as pink and blue glazed Jiaotai bottles. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Dewang took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then said: "Do you think such a character's well-crafted Yingqing works will be worthless?" If you want me to say, Lao Wu's valuation is still conservative, and if it is auctioned, I estimate that it can easily reach two million. Xiaochen, you've picked up a big leak! ”

Chu Chen said modestly: "This is all good luck, if it was your second elder just now, you will definitely be able to see the value of this small bowl at a glance." ”

Chen Dewang said with a smile: "You don't have to be modest, luck is also a kind of strength." This, Xiaochen, I don't know what you're going to do with this bowl? ”

"Lao Chen, don't think about the idea of hitting this bowl." Uncle Wu preemptively said: "Such a rare thing must be not for sale, Xiaochen, isn't it?" ”

Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "Old Chen, I'm sorry, I really didn't plan to transfer this Shadow Green Bowl." ”

Chen Dewang asked a little unwillingly: "Xiaochen, don't you think about it anymore?" ”

Seeing that Chu Chen still firmly refused, he reluctantly glanced at the small bowl, and then said, "Okay, but if you have the idea of transferring in the future, you have to notify me as soon as possible!" ”

Although he would definitely not transfer it, Chu Chen still nodded and said for the sake of Chen Dewang's heart: "Haode, I will definitely inform you when the time comes." ”

After everyone drank tea for a while, Chen Dewang asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, listen to your Uncle Wu, are you ready to open your own shop?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "Yes, I will trouble Old Chen to support me then!" ”

Chen Dewang smiled: "This is no problem, as long as it is within my ability, you can come to me, by the way, has your store been decided?" ”

"Then I'll go to you first." Chu Chen said: "My store has already been decided, but the original lease period will not expire until the end of October, so I will have to wait for a while. ”

"Xiaochen, has your store been decided?" Uncle Wu asked a little strangely.

"Yes, it's the current Jiayi Restaurant." Chu Chen explained: "The news was reported to me by my friend on the phone last night, and I am in a hurry to tell you if I haven't come yet. (To be continued......)
