Eight hundred and twentieth chapters gardenia green tea cup
After looking at it for a while, Li Yi turned around and left after finding that there were all such meaningless quotations. There is no need for special attention now. The real intense thing should be a few days later. In addition to making the organizing committee's evaluation of Chinese people, their nonsense behavior would be to make the other party clean the quotation box every day.
Before, Li Yi was indifferent to the porcelain exhibition hall, but after he found the chicken cup and Yuan blue and white porcelain in the auction hall, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Moreover, the few leaks found in the calligraphy and painting hall also made him feel that perhaps there might be some considerable leaks hidden in those Japanese porcelain.
In the Porcelain Pavilion, Li Yi looked at each booth honestly. He didn't know much about Japanese porcelain, but he could still see whether a thing was old and had certain value.
Because even if the country is different, even if the external performance varies greatly, since it is an antique, there must be many similarities. What he needs to do is to constantly use spiritual cards to verify it, and then compare it with the price in his memory to measure whether this porcelain is worth buying.
Japan is a country that focuses on the production of pottery. Its history of producing porcelain has only been more than 400 years. However, judging from the speed of development, they have left China far behind.
As early as the 17th century, due to the chaos in the Ming and Qing dynasties of China, porcelain produced in Japan was sold in large quantities in Europe and received great praise. Now, its daily fine porcelain products account for nearly half of the high-end porcelain market in the United States. Moreover, they were invited to design and produce super-large supporting catering and tea sets for the British royal family. As a former country of porcelain, most Chinese porcelains could only struggle in some low-end markets.
But from the perspective of ancient porcelain, China won more than half of the game. So this phenomenon is worth reflecting on. Li Yi had planned to use the Chai Kiln recipe in his hand to see if he could do something for the once glorious Chinese porcelain. But there are too many things recently and I don’t care about it. I can seriously consider it when I go back this time.
"?Aritayayaki,?Imariyaki,?Kyutaniyaki,?Setoyaki,?Minoyaki... Sure enough, the varieties that appear at this large-scale exhibition are even more complete than some museums, and the most important thing is that they may have them. This is the charm of a large-scale exhibition!"
Whether it is porcelain or pottery, the Japanese look relatively simple and even a little childish. But it is precisely this different style that makes Li Yi, who is used to the exquisite ancient Chinese porcelain, feel a little pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, how many items are really bought to play with?
At this time, he did not have the so-called nation or the so-called national boundaries in his mind. He just simply wanted to appreciate beautiful things.
"Is this one Nara Micai?"
Li Yi picked up a three-color pottery in the shape of a storage tank with a lid. The surface of this pottery was only green, black and gray, and the glaze surface was peeled off in many places, but the ancient atmosphere could not be concealed no matter what.
"Sir, this is indeed a Masakurayuan tricolor. Although it is damaged a little severely, it is still of great collection value."
The staff members’ mouths of Masakura Inn Sancai and what Li Yi said about Nara Sancai are the same thing. After the Tang Sancai was introduced to Japan at the end of the 7th century AD, it was quickly imitated by a large number of imitations. Now, there are more than a dozen places in Japan that produce three-color pottery produced in that era. Because the most unearthed in Nara and are concentrated in Masakura Inn in Nara, this kind of three-color pottery has these two names.
To be honest, compared with Tang Sancai, the difference between Japanese Sancai pottery, whether in terms of shape, body quality, glaze color, or various techniques, is not a little bit. In addition, because of poor storage, the glaze peeling off, it is even less beautiful.
But Li Yi had his own plans, so he finally bought this three-color pottery.
"This one should be a celadon golden teapot made by Arita?"
Aritayaki was actually invented by a Korean who returned from Goryeo. He discovered high-quality porcelain clay in the Arita area and began to fire porcelain.
The early Arida porcelain was not very precious because of its poor quality and large quantity. The later Arida porcelain was not very precious because it was much more exquisite, but due to the sharp increase in export demand, there are still many remaining now.
The truly precious Arita fired are those Arita fired between the two, from 1637 to 1650, which were fired between 1637 and 1650. Because the large-scale fire of porcelain in the early stages caused serious damage to the forest, Saga Shi cut off a large number of porcelain burners at that time. In 1643, the introduction of the Chinese red-painted color tuning method greatly promoted the quality of Arita fired one step. After 1650, due to the need for export, it began to be fired in large quantities.
The Aritayaki that Li Yi saw was indeed an Aritayaki, and the shapes and patterns were quite exquisite, but unfortunately, it was a modern product.
"But this one..."
He soon saw another piece, which was a teacup with a circle of black edges at the edge of the mouth. The painted on the cup was only green and gray, and the pattern was slightly abstract, like a leaf, which looked very delicate and beautiful.
But this cup is not just as exquisite and beautiful, because the spirit card tells Li Yi that it is actually an Arita Shao that was produced in those ten years!
"How is this possible? Can no one see this kind of thing being so openly sold out?"
Maybe he saw that he had been looking at the cup for a long time, and he looked like he couldn't let it go. The staff standing behind the booth enthusiastically introduced it, "Sir, this gardenia green tea cup is imitated by the same precious Aritayaki collected in the National Museum of Tokyo. It not only has the same shape, but also has very similar colors. The most rare thing is an old imitation..."
Li Yi understood immediately. This is a replica of another chicken jar cup! However, this one is different from the chicken jar cup. There may not be many people in Japan who know that thing. It is dangerous to have one more minute of this thing.
"Pack it up for me."
"Ah? What? OK sir, thank you so much!" The staff member who was just talking about selling cups didn't react at all, but then he saw the bank card he handed over and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Just now, I took the card back from the other party's hand, and before I could get the cup, a low voice suddenly came from behind Li Yi, "This cup cannot be sold, this is Japan's national treasure!"
"National Treasure?" The staff was stunned for a moment, holding the cup for a moment, and Li Yi quickly snatched the cup from his hand. He was very glad, fortunately, he just reacted quickly and paid the money without delay, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome now!
"This cup should be from the same era as the gardenia green tea cup at the National Museum of Tokyo, and it may even be the product of a kiln, you!"
The man looked at the porcelain cup in Li Yi's hand deeply and shouted at the staff member who was a little stupid. In his opinion, this kind of behavior was simply a treason!
"No, it's impossible? This one we asked Master Kameda to see. It's an export product from the late 18th century. Although it is also very valuable for collection, it really doesn't match national treasures or something."
From this we can see some of the qualities of the Japanese. Although they were scolded by strangers, because the other party was an old man, the staff was not angry at all and just tried to explain clearly.
"Which Kameda? Yuzu Kameda or Naruto Kameda?"
"It's Master Shimasato Kameda..."
"Shima Kameda?" The man frowned suddenly. It seemed that he had never heard of this name.
Seeing the two of them asking and answering questions here, Li Yi shrugged his shoulders, turned around and left. Anyway, the things have already reached my hands, so you can do whatever you like!
"Sir, I'm very sorry, can you please wait a moment?"
Li Yi stopped helplessly, and he knew that he could not leave! But since everyone knew it was a trouble, why did he still call him?
"Sir, I'm disturbing. I'm Kazuki Nakada from the National Museum of Tokyo. Can I take a look at the porcelain you have in your hand?"
"No problem." Anyway, there are people coming and going here, and Li Yi is not afraid of the other party making any tricks. Didn't he just want to confirm whether it was from the Tokugawa Iekura era? Just look at it casually, the clearer you can see, the better!
"Sure enough, it's all my fault. I should have come here as soon as Keiko told me, all my fault..."
Kazuki Nakada observed carefully for a while, with an expression of annoyance on his face. But then, he seemed to remember something again and looked up and said to Li Yi: "Sir, you are not a Japanese, are you? So do you know the regulations on precious cultural relics in Japan? This thing cannot be brought out of Japan."
Li Yi smiled and nodded, "What about?"
"Then? Since you can't take it out of Japan, you have to deal with it before returning to China. Sir, I'm very interested in this piece of porcelain. I don't know if it can be transferred to me?"
"Of course this is OK, but Mr. Nakata, what price can you pay?"
When Li Yi just bought this cup, he only spent 1.28 million yen. But now, how many times should the price be increased?
Nakata didn't expect Li Yi to be so straightforward. In his opinion, the other party would definitely hesitate for a while, and at least he would ask someone for the approximate price. If it was that kind, it would be easier to deal with, because it means that the other party did not really understand.
But now, looking at Li Yi's smiling expression, he suddenly felt a chill. It's really a pity that he shouldn't have spoken out. Now, he's probably going to be slaughtered!
