"Okay, let's take a look at these boxes first." Jiang Jiachang said with a smile as he opened a box not far from the side.

This box looks a little larger than the others, and there are many things inside, including a pair of blue and white folded branch flower lids with a height of nearly 30 centimeters.

This pair of blue and white jars, covered as lotus seed buttons, arched round surface, flower mouth edge, sub mouth; can, high straight neck, sloping shoulders; Drum arc abdomen, in the shape of a new melon ridge, gradually retracted under the abdomen; High straight shins, shin edge outward, flat bottom, digging circle feet.

Chu Chen picked up one of them and observed it carefully, and found that it was white and firm, and the grouting was white glaze. The inner edge of the lid and the inner mouth of the tank are exposed with white fine sand tires. covers, necks and shin are decorated in hidden relief; Blue and white painted ornament pattern, showing the color of blue and gray.

Gai Niu is painted with two layers of lotus seed patterns; The cover is decorated with three layers of ornamentation, the upper and lower layers are painted with lotus seed patterns, and the middle layer is decorated with leaf-shaped open branches and stems and leaf patterns; The neck is decorated with two layers of ornamentation, with a folded branch flower pattern and a leaf-shaped open branch and a lotus pattern; The abdomen is decorated with three layers, the upper and lower layers are painted with leaf-shaped open light folded branches and lotus patterns, and the middle layer is decorated with theme ornaments and folded branches with floral patterns; The shin is decorated with four layers, with crossbar reticulation, leaf petal pattern, leaf tip pattern and concentric circle pattern edge.

Generally speaking, the Hailao porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties was fired by the local kilns in the porcelain capital and coastal areas, although it cannot be compared with the official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but because it comes from a shipwreck, it has a more obvious historical background, and the cultural and historical value reflected cannot be underestimated.

Just like the blue and white jar in Chu Chen's hand, judging from various characteristics, it should be fired at the mouth of the local kiln in Southeast Province during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. But in terms of painting. Not only is it not inferior to the official kiln, but it also looks like it has a little more spirituality.

And. This pair of blue and white jars is perfect in all aspects except for the traces of seawater erosion on the surface. There is no bump at all, and there is no marine life remaining, coupled with the cultural and historical value of the utensils, it can be said that it is a very good pair of sea-fishing blue and white porcelain, and the collection value is not low.

Although the market price of this pair of blue and white jars is only about 50,000 yuan at the current market price, Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui are still quite satisfied with this.

In this box, in addition to this pair of blue and white jars, there is also a pair of blue and white plates. Like the pair of blue and white jars, in addition to the craftsmanship is not as good as the official kiln porcelain, the painting and appearance are perfect, and the appreciation potential is also good.

When Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui appreciated this box of Hailao porcelain, Jiang Jiachang opened three more boxes for them to see, and the grade of porcelain in them was about the same as the first box, which made the two very satisfied.

Zhao Qirui put a blue and white bowl from the Kangxi period back into the box and asked, "I said Jiang Fatzi, the Hailao porcelain in these boxes of yours." It won't all be a boutique of this quality, right? ”

"It's impossible."

Jiang Jiachang hurriedly shook his head, pointed to a pile of boxes on the left, and said, "Only these products are better, and the others are more or less problematic." It's not a big problem, though. As for this small part here, it is a little broken, but if you want to sell it. It's still no problem. ”

Zhao Qirui was a little curious when he heard this, and said, "Oh. Let's take a look at these crippled ones first. ”

"Okay." Jiang Jiachang stepped aside, opened the box and said, "These are mainly some punches. Or the glaze is a little strict, and the other is that there are too many attachments on the surface......"

As the old saying goes, 'porcelain is hairy, not worth half a penny', if it is those precious porcelain, if it is broken, it can still be worth some money, but these in front of him are just Hailao porcelain, Zhao Qirui wants to see what kind of porcelain it is, so that Jiang Jiachang has the confidence to sell it.

"Huh!" Seeing the porcelain in the box, both of them were a little surprised, because judging from the blue and white hair color of the porcelain, the experienced two felt that these porcelains had the characteristics of Xuande blue and white. Could it be that these Hailao porcelain are all Xuande blue and white porcelain? If this is the case, it is no wonder that Jiang Jiachang has confidence in these remnants.

Afterwards, the two of them each picked up a piece of porcelain and looked at it.

Chu Chen was holding a chicken heart bowl, and the mouth of this vessel was repaired along the inner side of the money brocade for a week, and the outer side was a circle of back lines. The center of the bowl is surrounded by a floral pattern. The outer wall of the bowl is decorated with lotus petals near the feet. Circle the foot and apply the back pattern. At the bottom of the bowl there is a paragraph "Ming Xuande Year System".

The shape of the whole bowl is simple and generous, the glaze is thick, the blue and white blue and white are thick and verdant, it is a typical Su Bo mud green material, the decoration is elegant and delicate, and it has the beauty of Xuande blue and white.

It's just that on the surface of this chicken heart bowl, in addition to shells and other attachments, there are several punches of different sizes on the edge of the mouth, which makes Chu Chen feel quite a pity.

Put the chicken heart bowl back in its place, Chu Chen took out the porcelain in the box one by one for identification, and found that each piece showed the typical characteristics of Xuande blue and white, but the situation of each piece of porcelain was similar to that chicken heart bowl, and the surface problems were a little strict.

"It's a pity that these porcelains are a pity." Zhao Qirui sighed and asked, "Fat Jiang, isn't this batch of Hailao porcelain in better condition?" ”

Jiang Jiachang also shook his head regretfully: "No, these porcelains were found in a small and medium-sized sea ship, according to the salvage people, these porcelains are already in good condition." However, it is also possible that those in good condition were directly sold on the market, after all, this kind of porcelain is a hot commodity in the market. ”

Speaking of which, although the appearance of Hailao porcelain aroused the interest of collectors, at first, they were just curious, just to add new varieties. When collectors find many never-before-seen porcelains in these haphazard acquisitions, and when they find many treasures, they are suspicious at first, then shocked, and finally awakened. As a result, Hailao porcelain began to become popular.

Although they had expected it in advance, when they heard this answer, Zhao Qirui and Chu Chen still felt a little regretful.

Next, the two continued to identify, because there were more than 30,000 pieces of porcelain on the scene, and they didn't have much time, so they finally decided to conduct a random inspection, anyway, Jiang Jiachang still has an industry in the mainland, and Zhao Qirui is not worried that he will deceive people and run away. Of course, having said that, it is related to millions of business, but for Zhao Qirui, it is still sloppy.

But. The three people present didn't know that Chu Chen had identified these things. All you need to do is sense it directly with your ability. Although this matter cannot be said, it also eliminates the possibility of the Jiang family playing tricks.

When Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui were there. Jiang Jiachang introduced some information about these sea-fishing porcelains to the two of them on the side.

"It is possible to clean the attachments on the surface of this part of the porcelain, and it depends on your opinion whether to wash it or not."

Zhao Qirui said: "Isn't this nonsense? Why not wash what can be washed? ”

Jiang Jiachang smiled: "Mr. Zhao, you may not know much about this, some buyers also like to leave some attachments on it, otherwise it is difficult for them to believe that the porcelain is fished out of the sea." ”

Not to mention, there is indeed such a situation in the market, and at first, these porcelain, which had been sleeping on the seabed for a long time, were also cleaned by the fishermen who found them. But some buyers just don't believe it. Therefore, in order to convince buyers that they are selling real sea-fishing porcelain, these fishermen often swear at first, and even take out their ID cards to prove their fisherman identity.

Later, as the business became more and more, the fishermen found that those sea-fishing porcelain, which was covered with sand stains or stained with marine life, did not need to pay much attention. Some porcelain is simply not cleaned. Of course, this is just ordinary porcelain, if it is those Xuande blue and white boutiques just now, it can be cleaned. It is better to wash it clean.

Time passed quickly, and most of the Hailao porcelain in the warehouse was sampled, at this time. Jiang Jiachang's mobile phone rang suddenly, and he walked over to answer the phone. After saying a few words, he put away his phone and walked back to its original position.

Subsequently. Jiang Jiachang said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, a friend of mine happened to salvage some newly salvaged porcelain to be sent over, and it is said that some of them are still relatively special varieties." ”

"What special porcelain?" Zhao Qirui asked curiously.

"He didn't say much on the phone, he's almost there anyway......"

Speaking of this, everyone heard the sound of parking outside the door, and Jiang Jiachang continued: "It should be them, let's go out and have a look together?" ”

"Row ......"

When the four of them reached the door of the warehouse, they saw a dark-skinned man of nearly forty years old walking towards them. He was followed by two men carrying the box.

The big man walked forward quickly, shook hands with Jiang Jiachang, and said in a rough voice: "Haha, Boss Jiang, I'm going to trouble you again this time!" ”

"As long as you give me more discounts, I still want you to 'trouble' me often." Jiang Jiachang said with a smile.

"Hey, that's not a matter of words!" The big man grinned, but he didn't say much more in words.

Jiang Jiachang knew the character of the big man very well, and sneered: "You guy likes to just talk and not practice, it's really boring." ”

Dahan didn't care, and said with a smile: "I'm also a small business, I hope Boss Jiang can understand." ”

"Come on, you have all sorts of reasons every time."

Jiang Jiachang snorted, and then introduced to both parties: "This is Mr. Zhao and Chu Shao from the capital, both of whom are from the industry. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the big man and introduced to Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui: "This is Tao Chunhai, and now he is also familiar with it, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

Tao Chunhai saw that Jiang Jiachang was very polite to Zhao Qirui and Chu Chen, and immediately expressed his enthusiasm, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said hello to the two.

Zhao Qirui and Chu Chen also stretched out their hands to shake each other's hands, and exchanged a few more pleasantries.

At this time, Jiang Jiachang said: "Okay, you just said that you fished some special porcelain?" Take it out and show us. ”

"Okay, okay......"

Tao Chunhai nodded again and again, and then opened the box that his subordinates carried over, pointed to a few blue and white teacups in front of him, and said: "That's it, what is the name of 'Wuliang Dafu Wu Xiangrui', this is the first time I have seen such porcelain, how about it, special, right?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiachang said with a little cry and laughter: "Isn't this the blue and white porcelain exported to the island country in the Ming Dynasty?" I mean, you're too lonely, aren't you? ”

This blue and white porcelain, signed as "Wuliang Dafu Wu Xiangrui made", is the blue and white porcelain exported to the island country during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the production zuò is very sophisticated, compared with the official kiln boutique is not inferior, by the island country called "auspicious" or "auspicious hand".

It is said that this Wuliang Daifu, formerly known as Ito Goryosuke, is a potter of the island country, he was in the Ming Dynasty Zhengde six years (AD 1511), with the Japanese Rinzai Zen monk Gui Wu (the word hermitage) to our country's porcelain capital to learn porcelain-making technology. In order to adapt to the life of porcelain making in our country, he took the name "Wu Xiangrui".

During the period of studying porcelain in our country. The porcelain he made is often signed with the words "Wuliang Dafu Wu Xiangrui" on the bottom paragraph. The porcelain made of zuò generally has bowls, basins, pots and jars, etc., because the porcelain is regular in shape and has a fine white fetus. The shape of the vessel is regular, the glaze layer is bright, and the blue and white are bright and are well received by the market.

At that time, the blue and white porcelain imported by the island country from our country was divided into three categories: "auspicious", "dyeing and paying", and "Wu whisker", and auspicious rui was one of the top grades, and was highly praised and status. His works are generally engraved or written: "Wu Xiangrui" or "Wuliang Dafu Xiangrui", "Wuliang Dafu Wu Xiangrui" style, called Xiangrui School. The shape, decoration and glaze of its utensils are obviously influenced by China's porcelain.

"Is that so?" Tao Chunhai looked surprised.

"Or what do you think?" Jiang Jiachang smiled: "I told you a long time ago, since you are engaged in this business, you must learn more relevant knowledge and take a look." It's a joke again, right? ”

"I'm a rough person, I get dizzy when I see books, how can I have the heart to learn."

Tao Chunhai smiled, and thought in his heart, he must find a few books to read when he goes back, even if he can't learn well, he must have a number in his heart.

Then, he hurriedly asked, "Is this kind of porcelain worth anything?" ”

"What's the hurry, let's see it first."

Jiang Jiachang waved his hand. Picked up a blue and white figure plate and looked at it.

While the two were talking, Chu Chen had already looked at a group of blue and white teacups, and saw that the teacups were fine and white, and the shape was regular. The glaze layer is bright, and the blue and white hair color is beautiful, which looks like the hair color of the green material. The bottom paragraph is "made by Wu Xiangrui, the great master of Wuliang".

Judging from the table xiàn of this group of tea sets, it does conform to the characteristics of "auspicious" porcelain. And from the point of view of the process of making zuò, it is also in line with the characteristics of the original "auspicious" porcelain. It should not be imitated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

However, although these porcelain zuò are still beautiful, the surface still has the characteristics of Hailao porcelain, and the erosion can be seen with the naked eye, which undoubtedly affects the value of the porcelain.

After they had seen all the boxes of porcelain, Jiang Jiachang said with a sigh: "I didn't expect that this Wu Xiangrui's craftsmanship is good, no wonder the people of the island country call him 'porcelain saint'." ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "No, isn't it the 'porcelain saint' of the island country, Li Shenping?" And whether Wu Xiangrui exists or not is also controversial. ”

"What?" Jiang Jiachang and Zhao Qirui were a little confused when they heard this.

Chu Chen explained: "Because, even if the time of the advent of Xiangrui porcelain is advanced to the end of Wanli, that is, around 1603, according to historical data, assuming that Wuliang Dafu was 20 years old when he came to our country in 1511, then at least he had to live until he was 112 years old in 1603 to see his achievements Xiangrui porcelain came out in the island country, how likely do you think this is?" ”

When everyone thought about it, they felt that this possibility was really unlikely, and for a while they began to wonder whether Wu Xiangrui could exist or not.

After a while, Jiang Jiachang asked curiously: "Then how did these auspicious porcelains come about?" ”

"According to the relevant materials of the Qing Dynasty: 'Zhengde Zhong...... Get foreign back to green, the price is twice the gold, know that it can be fired kiln, life to use it, its color is ancient. Therefore, there are many good products in the blue and white of the official kiln. …… On that day, the factory workers made profits and sold folk pottery. During the Ming Jiajing period, Yi ordered Zhu Jingxian to try to adjust, and his disadvantages were relieved. ’”

Chu Chen said: "That is to say, in order to steal and sell the imported green materials that are more valuable than gold to the kilns in the Zhengde period, the managers of the official kilns in the porcelain capital during the Zhengde period stole and sold them to the private kilns. Of course, this kind of high-grade folk kiln porcelain fired from high-priced materials with improper roads does not dare to circulate in our country, and to meet the needs of tea merchants in island countries, detour export has become the only feasible way to sell. ”

"Since Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the materials exported to island countries have gone through the southeast coastal ports. The products of the porcelain capital can only be transported to the south for customs clearance over long distances. In order to prevent being intercepted halfway, it is necessary to cover up in every possible way. ”

"In this way, fabricating a false knowledge of 'Wuliang Dafu Wu Xiangrui' out of thin air can cause people in our country to think that it is made by an island country, and people in an island country think that it is a false impression made by our country, so as to be foolproof and get by. This is why it is rare to see the remnants of auspicious porcelain in our country, as well as the best annotation of 'Wuliang Dafu Wu Xiangrui', which has no evidence in both countries. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Of course, this qiē is just my speculation, and I don't know what the truth of history is." ”

Zhao Qirui listened to Chu Chen's explanation, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he keeps it or not, I am unlikely to buy this kind of porcelain anyway." ”

"Why?" When Tao Chunhai heard this, he couldn't calm down, these porcelains are related to their income from going to sea this time, in case these porcelains are not worth anything, then won't he lose this time?

Zhao Qirui replied: "This kind of porcelain is not the mainstream in the market, and the quality is not good, and the appreciation potential is not large, what should I buy it for?" ”

Tao Chunhai hurriedly looked at Jiang Jiachang and asked urgently, "Boss Jiang, are these porcelains really worthless?" ”

Jiang Jiachang said: "Tell me this, the market value of your box of porcelain is only about 10,000 yuan, do you say it is worth it?" ”

Tao Chunhai heard this, opened his mouth wide, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after a while, he clapped his hands and said depressedly: "Sure enough, it's bad luck to meet a dead person!" ”

"What dead man?" Jiang Jiachang asked curiously.

Tao Chunhai said depressedly: "When we arrived at the dock yesterday, we fished up a person from the sea, but he died after a while. Moreover, you should also know this person, Boss Jiang. ”

"Who?!"

"Su Changtou ......" (to be continued......)
