Chapter Twenty-Four: The Big Red Robe-colored Dragon Pattern Jar
Everyone immediately covered their eyes with their hands, looked inside again, and saw a golden pastel hand-painted lotus porcelain bowl proudly presented in front of everyone.
I saw that the pastel hand-painted lotus porcelain bowl is dense and transparent, the shape is neat and atmospheric, the painting is fresh and elegant, and the pen is delicate and free, which is very rich in the style of Chinese painting.
On the flower bowl, the graceful lotus leaves are swaying; The slim lotus flowers are bright and dripping; Light and delicate dragonflies, dancing; The fish chasing the water and waving their heads and tails form a vivid picture of the scenery of the small pond, showing the intimate and harmonious relationship between all things in nature.
The most admirable thing is that the large area of golden pastel on the bowl is exactly the same as the royal yellow, how is this color matching? All the people who know how to do it have a thumbs up, sincerely admired, the kiln finally has a day to come, I am afraid that this kind of golden pastel will be prosperous for a while in the future.
The people on the side of the official kiln were also busy running over to watch, and even the pastel master who competed with Shen Luojun couldn't help but take a look at me, just by looking at him, he knew that he had lost, he walked up to Shen Luojun and bowed slightly, showing respect.
Shen Luojun bowed slightly, smiled slightly, and said that he returned the salute, dignified and atmospheric, and the pastel masters of the official kiln were a little stunned for a while, and stood there stunned.
"Ahem! Cough! Kang Damao stood aside and coughed deliberately, and the guy opposite suddenly woke up, scratched his head, and left in embarrassment.
The result was obvious, the folk kiln pastel hand-painted lotus porcelain bowl won by an overwhelming margin of full score, Kang Damao and Shen Luojun hugged each other excitedly, and then the two parted with shame and embarrassment.
Linglong on the side gritted her teeth and kicked the second tiger next to her fiercely after seeing it, and the second tiger jumped up and down with his legs, looking confused.
After the competition, many porcelain dealers found Shen Luojun to ask for cooperation and order this golden pastel in advance, and Kang Damao knew that the Shen family should make a comeback again.
Kang Damao's eyes narrowed, and he saw the business opportunity from it, you all obediently stood aside, and if you want to cooperate, it is also the cooperation between our Kang family and the Shen family, as a businessman with great business acumen, Kang Damao has already put behind what hatred and grudges, and making money is the most important.
In fact, the most important thing in his heart is this trip to Jingdezhen, the relationship between him and Shen Luojun has improved significantly, and it would be great if the two could cooperate to make the porcelain business bigger.
The next last game of the competition is to fire the glaze red, and the bosses on both sides of the official kiln and the private kiln appear in person, which attracts enough eyeballs.
The plum bottle is also called the "Jing bottle", which first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and was more popular in the Song and Liao periods, and many new varieties appeared.
The characteristics of the plum bottle are that the mouth is thin and the neck is short, the shoulders are extremely broad, the shin is slightly narrow, and the foot is slightly abundant, and the small caliber is only commensurate with the thin bone of the plum, so it is called the plum bottle. It is both a wine vessel and an ornamental object that is hard to put down, so this type of vessel is often beautifully made, not only considering the storage capacity, but also paying attention to the beautiful shape.
Of course, the main thing to show here is the shape of the vessel, and Yu Shinian is also well versed in the choice of the shape of the plum bottle.
The shape of the vessel chosen by the official kiln is a large pot, and the shape of the vessel is not very important now, but whether it can be fired to produce the color and essence of the beauty.
Both sides use their own unique formulas, and kaolin is also the top soil culture, material selection, tire making, glazing, and copper blowing are kept secret throughout the whole process, and only these two Jingdezhen banner-carrying figures have this special right.
Time passed minute by minute, the kiln owner Yu Shinian successfully fired the beauty drunk plum bottle, the bottle body is painted with pastel plum blossoms, and the ink book inscribes poems.
The branches and branches are depicted with intermittent brushstrokes, and the brushstrokes at the distorted places are even more plausible, skillfully expressing the coiling and twisting of the branches, and setting off the plum blossoms are vigorous and upright, and the techniques are neat, full but not complicated.
Its rich red color is like fire, making the shape of the plum vase and the plum blossom pattern on it more gorgeous and full.
The merchants who came from other places saw the opportunity and immediately gathered around to ask for orders, and Yu Shinian waved his hand to let his son and apprentice Yin Hongxu greet these people.
Yu Shinian dragged the teapot with one hand and took a sip of tea, he looked at Shangguan Yun opposite, his face was full of pride, now even you Shangguan Yun can burn a beauty drunk, but after all, you are an official kiln, you use the best kaolin, and the recipe is also ancestral, and the same beauty drunk is also fired by the folk kiln.
said that the first round of two games and three wins, this time you dare to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of my Yu Shinian, and be honest with your tail between your legs.
Shangguan Yun just glanced at Yu Shinian and ignored it, but calmly instructed the workers and masters to slowly open the sagger.
When the sagger was opened, everyone present was stunned, what? This is, this is actually a big red robe color dragon pattern big jar, this big jar round mouth, short neck, plump shoulders and belly, sand bottom, compared with the Yuan Dynasty big jar, the neck is thicker, the abdomen is fuller, and the overall shape is more solemn.
The whole body of the utensils is depicted with dragon pattern, the dragon pattern is red, as if the body is filled with bright red blood, the red face is dripping, the glaze is white and flashes red, it is the typical feature of the big pot in the Hongwu period, the upper and lower are decorated with seven stripes of ornamentation, the collocation is reasonable, and the layout is neat.
The main body of the neck is painted with a lotus pattern, the flowers are full, finely drawn, the petals are first rendered with a thick brush, and the stamens are then drawn with a thin brush, and the thickness is matched to complement each other.
The painting style of the whole instrument inherits the Yuan Dynasty and starts Yongle below, and there is a trace of delicacy in the atmosphere.
In fact, Shangguan Yun's ability to fire the top color in the glaze red color of the big red robe color means that Yu Shinian has lost, which everyone present understands that Yu Shinian's face is hot and painful, and his face is full of loneliness, but he is convinced.
The second round of the competition is treasure appreciation, the official kiln and the private kiln two teams from the folk selection of treasure collectors, the treasure collectors provide the authenticity of the porcelain collection all depends on the eyes, the implementation of mutual selection rules.
First, there was an audition, and Yu Shinian and Shangguan Yun's apprentices preliminarily selected 100 pieces of collections, and then each team finally selected 10 people, and the one with the highest total price won.
Treasure collectors have enthusiastically participated, on the one hand, you can enhance the value of the porcelain collection, and on the other hand, you can improve the popularity of your collection, the last treasure, most of the collections after the treasure appreciation price has doubled, the most important thing is that the final winning porcelain treasure owner can get a thousand taels of silver collection reward.
Therefore, these collectors have taken out their ancestral heirlooms, hoping to be recognized by the bosses of the two teams of official kilns and private kilns.
Jianbao needs to go through auditions, preliminary rounds, semi-finals, grabbing people, direct and so on, a total of five days, the reason why the organizers do this is to promote Jingdezhen and promote local economic consumption, full of routines.
As soon as Kang Damao heard that there was a treasure appreciation competition, he immediately became interested, and he thought of the "Yuan Blue and White Peacock Flower Pattern Eight-Sided Gourd Bottle" that his father had been collecting in Luohe. ”
This treasure has been kept in the secret compartment of the study by his father, and it is said to be a priceless treasure, even if he Kang Damao has only seen his father take it out twice, so he still remembers it vividly.
Kang Damao thought to himself that if this guy gets the treasure here, it is not proper to get the first place, help your folk kiln win back a game, and then you will not obediently come to kneel and lick me, hehehehe! Thinking of this, Kang Damao stood there and grinned stupidly, looking very funny, and Linglong and Erhu next to him tilted their heads and looked confused for a while.
In fact, this is just a move by Kang Damao to win the kiln, he thinks if this "Yuan blue and white peacock flower pattern eight-sided gourd bottle." "Really can take the first, when the time comes, it will be said that this is the treasure of our Zhenjiang Mansion "Kangjing Shengshi" century-old store, isn't it beautiful, through their activities to help us "Kangjing Shengshi" advertise, do branding, wonderful!
Kang Damao looked like a profiteer, looking a little cheap, his current facial expression was very incommensurate with his original resolute face, he was completely immersed in his own world, which made the two little followers next to him despise him fiercely, thinking that he cared about his private life with Shen Luojun at the moment.
Anyway, there are five days, Lao Tzu will not accompany you to waste your youth here, my Kang Damao's youth is either making money or on the way to making money.
Kang Damao regained his original demeanor and said boldly with a wave of his hand: "Linglong, Erhu, let's go, take you back to Luohe Kang's house, and invite you to eat the delicious dishes made by my mother." ”
"Are you going to meet your future parents-in-law? So shy, oops! Xiang Linglong, what are you thinking? Linglong followed behind at this time, her face flushed, and her mind was full of thoughts.
