"Xing kiln works at the peak of the Tang Dynasty?" The three of them were all stunned when they heard this.

You must know that the Xingyao kiln was burned in the Northern Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, declined in the Five Dynasties, and finally the Yuan Dynasty, and the firing time was about 900 years.

In the Tang Dynasty, the white porcelain of Xingyao broke the situation of the domination of the southern celadon in the world, and the two roughly formed the situation of "blue in the south and white in the north", the white porcelain of Xingyao and the celadon of Yue kiln represented the highest level of porcelain products at that time, and were famous in the world at the same time.

Although the price of porcelain from the Xing kiln in the Tang Dynasty is not as high as that of the five official kilns of the Song Dynasty in the on-site antique market, the status is actually almost the same. Moreover, it is also said that its price is low for a wealthy person like Chu Chen, and the price of the treasures is also tens of millions, which is not acceptable to ordinary collectors.

Like the lion statue that Chu Chen bought just now, his eyes were wide and his ears were towering. The whole lion is in a squatting position, with its left foot raised, its ears towering, its eyes wide open, a bell tied around its neck, and its tail fluffy and erect.

In addition, by the highly skilled ancient craftsmen do not emphasize the details of the fine carving and excessive decoration in the modeling, the use of concise and concise, delete the complicated and simple techniques, in the rough and unrestrained, unrestrained, produce a strong sense of antiquity, to create a "deep and majestic" "momentum" beauty.

The whole statue can be described as a unique shape, carved well, the lines are strong, the overall domineering and mighty, the momentum is extraordinary. It is a rare masterpiece, and of course it is worth a lot of money.

"Yes."

Chu Chen nodded: "That lion statue is pure white, with tiny brown eyes in the glaze, the glaze is easy to be smooth and flat, the gloss is good, and the glaze is white and blue...... The characteristics are consistent with the characteristics of the porcelain of the Xing kiln in the Tang Dynasty. I think it should be a masterpiece of porcelain from the Xing kiln of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing the end, the three of them closed their eyes and pondered for a moment. This is because although Chu Chen's words are simple, his words contain a lot of information to identify the authenticity of Xing kiln in the Tang Dynasty. This was undoubtedly very important to them, so they all took the words that Chu Chen said just now to heart.

Feeling that he had memorized the main points, Fang Jinbo opened his mouth and asked, "Teacher Chu, I think the craftsmanship used in the eyes of that lion statue seems to be quite different." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Yes, this is what makes this lion statue special......"

The eyes of the lion statue are polished with black gemstones, smooth and round, then inlaid into the eye holes, and then fixed with tire mud, and fired in a kiln for a second time to make them firm. From afar. The lion's eyes were blazing and his eyes were wide with rage, as if he wanted to overwhelm all the evil spirits.

This kind of eye-inlaid gem-making technique was first seen in the eye decoration of Buddha statues in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. However, among the utensils fired in the Xing kiln, it is still quite rare, and there is a way that rare things are expensive, which also highlights the value of this lion statue.

Fang Jinbo listened to Chu Chen's introduction and asked, "Then the price of such a lion statue shouldn't be cheap, right?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Conservative estimate, it should be around seven or eight hundred thousand." ”

Hearing the price given by Chu Chen. Everyone was surprised, the value of the lion statue had already exceeded Chu Chen's efforts just now, and the remaining three things were worth a total of 300,000 yuan. Is that Pang Laohu a fortune boy?

However, the remaining three things are bought and sold at market value. It's not 300,000 that can be taken down, and that rouge glazed chrysanthemum petal plate alone is worth 300,000.

This rouge water glazed chrysanthemum petal plate is a work fired in the kiln. Nian kiln is the Qing Yongzheng time to supervise the pottery official Nian Xiyao to supervise the porcelain imperial kiln factory. The official kiln during this period is called the annual kiln. The selection of materials in the kiln is extremely fine, and the cutter is more egg blue. or as silver as silver, both of which are blue; Or draw a pile of dark flowers, ingenious and exquisite. At this time, there were many inventions of glaze, with rouge water glaze being the most famous.

Rouge water glaze is a low-temperature color glaze, also known as "golden red glaze". With gold as the colorant, the glaze juice is delicate, smooth and even, and the color is like rouge, hence the name.

Rouge water glaze on thin tire products, white glaze inside, rouge water outside, red and white, magnificent and extraordinary. The color of gold belongs to colloidal coloring, and the size of colloidal particles is closely related to the color, and the firing temperature must be strictly controlled to make a palace, and the process requirements are very high. Therefore, the rouge water glaze at that time was the work of the official kiln.

Chrysanthemum petal plate, the disc shape is chrysanthemum flower shape, the center of the disc is slightly sunken, the disc wall is arc-shaped and neatly molded with twenty-four petal chrysanthemum petal patterns, the outer cover is tender rouge water glaze, the fetal bone is very thin, the inner glaze is extremely white, reflected by the outer glaze, it is pink, delicate and dripping. The lap foot reveals a delicate white porcelain fetus. The bottom is white glaze, and the book "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" is written in regular letters.

In fact, for a plate like this, 300,000 yuan is still a conservative valuation, and it is normal to meet a favorite 450,000 yuan, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Chen felt extremely funny when he heard that Li Cun gave an estimate of 800,000 yuan for four things.

Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo felt that Pang Laohu was a little stupid at first, but when they thought of Chu Chen's identity, they immediately reacted, and felt that it was likely that Pang Laohu wanted to tie up with Chu Chen, so he sold it so cheaply.

Seeing everyone's thoughtful looks, Chu Chen smiled: "There are reasons why you want to, but the most important thing is that Li Cun has lost his eyes, looked at things wrongly, and misestimated the price." Teacher Li, if that Li Cun dares to come to you for trouble, you can tell Pang Laohu about it, and it is estimated that it will be enough for him to drink a pot. ”

As he spoke, he gave Pang Laohu's contact information to Li Guiheng.

Qi Baofu smiled: "Haha, there is a way that the wicked have their own wicked grinding, Lao Li, if that kid still bothers you, this should be done!" ”

Li Guiheng nodded again and again, in terms of his character, he doesn't like to do everything, but for people like Li Cun, he will not be merciful.

Li Cun's antique shop was not far from the community, and the group was talking and laughing, and in less than ten minutes, Chu Chen drove the car to the gate of the community.

Originally, Li Guiheng also planned to invite Chu Chen upstairs to have a cup of tea, and invite Chu Chen to have a meal in the evening to express his gratitude, but Chu Chen excused himself on the grounds that he had something to do, saying that he would have time to meet again in the future, and then said goodbye to everyone.

After leaving the community, Chu Chen found Wu Ke and Chu Yulan non-stop, accompanied them around the street, and returned to Yuhuating together after dinner.

Although it is said that there is a reason why we can't go shopping together today, if Chu Chen ignores it and agrees to Li Cun or goes home directly, Wu Ke and Chu Yulan will be a little unhappy in their hearts, Chu Chen doesn't want to be complained about by them, of course he has to make amends.

Back in the community, Chu Chen took out the box from the trunk and prepared to walk home.

Wu Ke asked, "Achen, is this your harvest today?" ”

The topic of the two women just now was not clothing or cosmetics, and Chu Chen's matter today was just a passing touch, so they didn't know what was in the box yet.

Chu Chen nodded, and introduced the four things one by one.

"Brother, is the bracelet really from Southern Red Agate?"

Seeing Chu Yulan's excited appearance, Chu Chen smiled: "It is indeed a southern red agate, and it is still an old southern red agate, and now it is basically gone." ”

Southern red agate is named after the place of origin, the texture is delicate and oily, and it is a unique variety in our country. Nanhong has been mined and used by people a long time ago, and some people say that the so-called "Chiqiong" in ancient books mostly refers to Nanhong agate.

Southern red agate is bright in color, delicate in texture, and very beautiful. In addition, the ancients used it as medicine, the function of nourishing the heart and blood, and those who believe in Buddhism believe that he has special effects. The red bead in the Seven Treasures of Buddhism refers to the southern red agate...... However, the production of Nanhong is scarce, and many people say that roughly during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Nanhong agate was mined and extinct.

In the past, Chu Chen also thought that Nanhong had become extinct in Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, but it wasn't until he listened to Liu Lao's introduction some time ago that he understood that this matter was basically a rumor.

Liu Lao said that he had seen a large number of southern red bead strings that were still sold to foreigners in good condition during the Republic of China, and even the southern red bracelets in the Forbidden City obviously had the characteristics of bracelets in the late Qing Dynasty. All this evidence shows that Nanhong did not become extinct until at least the late Qing Dynasty.

As for the many so-called "persimmon red" southern red that we see on the market now, they are all in the protection. Produced by the Shanxin mine.

Chu Yulan couldn't wait to say, "Really? Take it out and take a look! ”

Chu Chen smiled: "What's the hurry, I'll see it when I get home." ”

Speaking of which, the three of them happened to walk to the door, only to see that Sister-in-law Ji had already opened the door and was waiting for them.

After saying hello, the three of them changed their shoes and walked to the living room together, where they saw Zhao Yunlin watching TV while Chu Yongning was working in his study.

Seeing the children come in, Zhao Yunlin happily beckoned them to take their seats.

Wu Ke took out a gift box and put it in front of Zhao Yunlin: "Mom, this is the gift we chose for you when we went shopping, let's see if you like it." ”

Zhao Yunlin said with a smile: "Ah, don't bring me a gift next time you go shopping, it's troublesome, how can you have this intention." ”

Of course, having said that, judging from the light in her eyes when she saw the gift, she knew that the gift was still very useful.

After chatting for a while, Chu Yulan urged Chu Chen to take out the bracelet.

The bracelet is made of 18 southern red agate, which is full, ruddy in color, no cracks, no black spots, and no other impurities and other impurities. In addition, judging from the pulp, this bracelet should be a work of the late Ming Dynasty, and it is a precious southern red bracelet.

Seeing such a beautiful string of southern red agate bracelets, Chu Yulan couldn't help but enjoy it when she got it in her hand.

Seeing this, Chu Chen and Wu Ke glanced at each other before saying, "Xiaolan, since you like this bracelet, I'll give it to you." ”

Chu Yulan raised her head when she heard this, looked at Wu Ke first, and saw her nodding with a smile, before she said with a smile:

"Thank you, brother!"

The bracelet has a home, and Chu Chen gave you a brief introduction to the following three things.

In fact, among the remaining three things, Chu Chen valued the jade pendant the most, not that the jade pendant was the most valuable, but that this jade pendant was related to the clue of the candlestick with the treasure map. (To be continued......)
