Chapter 228: There is no Ming Xuande furnace in the world
After listening to Ma Guan's words, Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "It seems that Ma Shao still has some understanding of the origin of the Xuande furnace. ”
"Where, I've only heard a little bit, it must be quite different from the major, right?" Ma Guan said modestly.
He is always humble in front of capable people. But when it's time to be public, he is not low-key.
The others looked a little anxious and asked directly: "Master Ye, tell us quickly, which period of the Qing Dynasty is this?" ”
"It's a shame that it's a modern craft." Ye Chaoyang shook his head and said.
"Huh?" The crowd was taken aback.
Even Ma Guan's face couldn't help but change at this time, "Master Ye, I believe in your eyesight, but why do you say that?" ”
"Ma Shao, since you know that the Xuande furnace is from the Ming Dynasty, you should also know that the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty only exists in legends." Ye Chaoyang said.
Ma Guan didn't know, shook his head and said, "What does Master Ye mean is that there are no treasures in the Ming Xuande furnace in the world?" ”
"Not bad." Ye Chaoyang nodded and said: "Although there is still such a thing as Xuande furnace on the market, there are also some museums whose treasure is Xuande furnace, but it is not a Ming Xuande furnace, most of them are made in the Qing Dynasty." ”
"It's just like some porcelain in Jingdezhen, even if it is made today, the payment at the bottom of the porcelain will still be a few years after Qianlong and Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty."
"The same is true of the Xuande furnace."
As he spoke, he turned the small incense burner over, and at the bottom of the stove, there were indeed engraved a few words the size of a dragon's eye: "Ming Xuande three-year imperial system." ”
In fact, since the late Ming Dynasty, the method of making this kind of furnace has been broken, and only a few people have seen it. And when the Ming Dynasty fell, even the people who had seen the real Ming Xuande furnace did not exist. ”
"Young Master Ma, if you have time, you can check it on the Internet now, even if it is in the Beijing Museum, there is absolutely no Ming Xuande furnace!"
"Master Ye's eyesight and professionalism are far above us, since you have said so, then it must be like this, there is no need to check it on the Internet." Ma Guan shook his head and said.
Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "If you don't check, will you willingly recognize my words?" ”
"I'm sure I'll admit it." Ma Guan said immediately.
Ye Chaoyang smiled: "Ma Shao, I am very happy for your trust in me." But you should check it, and by the way, you will also increase your knowledge, and if you encounter similar pitfalls in the future, you will be able to see the problem at a glance. ”
"Since Master Ye said so, then let's check it out." Ma Guanchen said with a smile.
Although he said that before, he was still a little unconvinced in his heart. It's not to blame him, just blame the rumors of the cheating in the antique market!
In the current antique circle, there is still a group of people shouting about the Ming Xuande furnace, and generally only after the old players have seen it well-informed, they know that the Ming Xuande furnace has no real things left in the world at all.
Not a half!
All the Ming Xuande furnaces are all gimmicks of pit people.
Even if Ye Chaoyang didn't let them check, after leaving, they would definitely confirm it through their own means.
In that case, he might as well let them check it in front of him.
In this era, information is very developed, and museums with fame and resources have developed their own online exhibition software for museums.
If you find it troublesome to download the software, you can also go directly to the official website to find it.
Ma Guan and the others glanced at each other, immediately took out their mobile phones, clicked to enter the official webpage of the Beijing Museum, and searched for the keyword of the famous Xuande furnace.
All of a sudden, a lot of them popped up on the screen of their mobile phones, but if they looked carefully at the introduction, they would find that although there was a so-called manufacturing time of the Ming Xuande furnace, none of them were in the Ming Dynasty, all of them were in the Qing Dynasty, or even in the Min Dynasty.
You know, the predecessor of the Beijing Museum is the Forbidden City, the residence of the emperor, which is the largest in China, the richest collection, the most comprehensive museum, if there is no here, then other museums are not to be seen.
But for the sake of insurance, they still went to other museums to check, and they didn't have half a Ming Xuande furnace, so they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Master Ye is really right, we admire it." Ma Guan smiled bitterly and showed an expression of admiration towards Ye Chaoyang. "There really is no Xuande furnace in the Ming Dynasty."
"But Master Ye, why is this happening?"
"There are many reasons for this, and there are different opinions." Ye Chaoyang said: "Some people explain that the manufacturing skills of the Xuande furnace are very difficult to control, and the craftsman died violently, directly breaking the inheritance. ”
"Some people also say that the materials used to make the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty depended on foreign imports, and the ban on the sea in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was very serious, cutting off trade at sea, resulting in a lack of necessary materials, so that it could not be manufactured."
"There are many other theories, but which one is true is unknown."
"It's really beneficial." Ma Guan sighed with emotion, the three words of Xuande furnace, it can be said that there is no one who plays with bronze and does not hear the cocoon with his ears, but he didn't expect that the Xuande furnace did not exist at all.
"But Master Ye, although this thing is not from the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is not from the Qing Dynasty, right? Why do you insist that this is a modern craft? ”
"It's too crudely made." Ye Chaoyang pointed to the incense burner and said: "It seems to be small and exquisite, simple and elegant, and the manufacturing process is good, but compared with the real thing, there are still many gaps." ”
"Besides, this thing is very problematic in gilding."
"What's the problem?"
"It's so new." Ye Chaoyang touched the gilt on the incense burner and said: "Generally speaking, after a hundred years of gilding, the color will be darker and more stable. ”
"But the gilt of this incense burner is too bright, I'm afraid that the counterfeiter used some dye or something in order to save costs."
"In that case, how much is this censer worth at most?" Ma Guan sighed and asked.
Ye Chaoyang stretched out two fingers and said: "If it is a modern handicraft, it can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end handicraft. ”
"I can still sell it for about 2,000 yuan."
"Just 2,000 yuan?" Ma Guan and the others lost their voices in unison, one by one, like frosted eggplants, and they were stunned.
Ye Chaoyang looked at them and asked, "How much did you spend to buy it?" ”
"Two million." Ma Guan smiled bitterly.
The others were furious: "We have been pitted! Master Ye, you want to avenge us! ”
"Master Ye, please take action and ask for justice for us, otherwise, we won't be able to swallow this evil breath!"
