Chapter 655 Blue and White Sanskrit Sea Pomegranate Pattern Reclining Foot Bowl

ps: Sorry, the power was cut off just now, and it is only uploaded now. No matter what, the second update is, please support the monthly ticket.

At this moment, from the words of Director Wang, Wang Guan finally understood what the so-called big deal was. While he was a little worried, he was also sighing at Meng Jian's big move.

It is not about selling one or two things, but selling a museum or a complete museum. Such things may not be common around the world. Although some private museums abroad often transfer to others due to poor management of their owners. That kind of thing is more common, but it is completely different from the current situation.

Because the museum that Meng Jian wants to sell is not in China, but in other countries. More importantly, someone bought the museum, and they don’t have to take over it, but packed the entire museum and shipped it to you.

"To be honest, when I heard about this, I thought it was a big scam."

At this time, Director Wang sighed quite: "If he hadn't shown a lot of evidence, I would probably not have the patience to listen. But even so, I'm still a little worried..."

"You are worried about gains and losses, so you naturally feel uneasy."

Mr. Cheng smiled and said, "But don't regard that museum as a treasure. Haven't you heard the young people say that? They cast a wide net, and those with higher prices will get it. Everyone has the chance, but it may not be the Forbidden City."

"That's right." Mr. Han agreed deeply and smiled: "Director Wang, I'm looking for me, and I have nothing to do with you." These words from both of you obviously also included Mr. Cheng, reminding him not to tell the boss of Liangyizang Museum to compete with him for business.

Mr. Cheng just smiled faintly but did not express his opinion. Seeing this, Mr. Han was also helpless: "I had known this if I had known this. I shouldn't have asked you to come and help identify the things."

"It can only be said to be God's will."

Mr. Cheng chuckled and said, "If it weren't for us, how could you be sure whether what he said was true or false? I guess even the Sanskrit Sea pomegranate pattern lying foot bowl he brought with him could not tell whether it was genuine or fake."

"What bowl?"

Not to mention Mr. Han’s bitter smile, the one that interested Wang Guan the most was the bowl.

"No, it's on the table, you can take a look, that's a good thing." Director Wang smiled. This is also the biggest feature of experts. Whenever there is anything good, I always like to communicate with others.

At the right time, Wang Guan looked at it and saw a larger brocade box on the table. It must be the bowl inside. But he was also a little surprised. Since it was Meng Jian’s thing, why didn’t he take it away?

Seeing Wang Guan’s confusion, Director Wang explained: “Speaking of this, the man just now was also generous. In order to show his sincerity, he simply left the thing for Brother Han to watch for a few days.”

"Such precious things are kept if you say they are left. They are indeed full of sincerity." Cheng Lao nodded and said, "It can be seen from here that he is unlikely to lie. After all, even if it is a 'bad', he will not use such expensive things. Others don't know, but I can't bear to leave them anyway."

"That's it." Director Wang nodded repeatedly and agreed very much.

Seeing this, Wang Guan became even more curious. After receiving Mr. Han's permission, he immediately opened the lid of the brocade box on the table. Then he looked down and saw a bowl inside the box.

However, this bowl is not ordinary. It is not ordinary big, but very big. Anyway, according to Wang Guan's vision, the diameter of this bowl is at least twenty centimeters. It is better to say that it is a bowl to hold soup than a bowl.

At the same time, Director Wang smiled and said, "Wang Guan, if you don't look at the bottom of the things, can you tell what era of things this is?"

"It's hard to say, let's take a look first..." Wang Guan smiled, carefully picked up the big bowl, and gently put it on the table to study it carefully. At this time, he finally understood what the long names in Cheng Lao's mouth meant.

The Sanskrit sea pomegranate pattern lying on foot bowl in blue and white...

First of all, it is certain that this big bowl has blue and white patterns inside and outside, including Sanskrit inside and pomegranate patterns outside the bowl. Overall, these blue and white patterns are lighter in color and leave more white space, giving people a simple and elegant feeling.

"It's rare to see such a great man."

Wang Guan looked at it for a while, and did not rush to see the bottom of the body, but slowly began to ponder.

Identifying porcelain is also a great subject. Porcelain in each dynasty and each period has its own characteristics. Even when an emperor is in power, sometimes it is divided into several stages before, middle and back, and the characteristics of each stage are different.

Therefore, the identification of porcelain may be relatively easy to use, but if you want to reach a height, you must also study carefully and study it carefully. Wang Guan has never slacked off in this regard, and has received careful guidance from masters such as Qian, so his progress must be very rapid.

Although he did not have enough viewing, judging from the color of blue and white hair and the shape of the body, Wang Guan felt thoughtful and had a little more surprise on his face: "This seems to be something from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty..."

"Haha." Director Wang laughed and asked quietly: "Can you be sure? You should know that there is a saying in the industry that Chenghua has no great utensils, and you can know the prominent characteristics of porcelain during the Chenghua period."

"Director Wang deliberately confuses the public. The so-called Chenghua has no great powers, which is just a set of words, and it is just a general statement and cannot represent everything at all." Wang Guan smiled and said, "I remember that I also collected a lot of Chenghua's great powers in the Palace Museum, especially the blue and white unicorn pattern plate. The diameter is more than 30 centimeters, which is not big enough."

"Haha, don't get too far. We are talking about this bowl now, not the large plate in the Forbidden City." Director Wang continued to ask: "You said this is Chenghua blue and white porcelain, so what evidence is there?"

"There must be evidence." Wang Guan smiled and said: "Each period has the characteristics of the era, that is, the cultural background of the era. To talk about Chenghua porcelain, we have to say that the emperor Chenghua."

"Actually, I can't understand who the Emperor Chenghua provoked, so that the film and television dramas nowadays always discredit him and describe him as a foolish emperor." Wang Guan shrugged: "However, in real history, Emperor Chenghua seemed to have never done anything unforgivable except to favor Concubine Wan."

"On the contrary, Chenghua is still a relatively pitiful emperor. You should know that before he ascended the throne, his situation was not very good. His father was Ming Yingzong who was captured by the Mongols after the Tumu Fort Incident. Next, Ming Yingzong's younger brother Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne."

Speaking of this, Wang Guan also sighed a little: "Emperor Chenghua was still the crown prince at that time, but after Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, he wanted to abolish the crown prince and then help his son to throne. To achieve this goal, Emperor Jingtai actually bribed the ministers and finally made him successful."

"The position of Emperor Chenghua's crown prince was not guaranteed, and he was imprisoned in the deep palace. It was not until Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty was regained the throne and finally ascended the throne and became the emperor successfully. This process is simple, but the danger can be imagined, which naturally affected the character of Emperor Chenghua."

Wang Guan talked freely: "As for the evaluation of historical books, Emperor Chenghua was good at art during his reign, and was addicted to women, which led to eunuchs cheating on the country's affairs. In fact, it was purely a slander by the literati at that time, and these people didn't think about it. After the Tumubao Incident, the emperor's prestige had fallen to a low point, and his power was even emptied by ministers for a time."

"No matter ancient and modern times, it is better to believe that officials are reliable than to believe that sows can climb trees. In order to consolidate royal power and compete with the increasingly large civil servant group, who else could Emperor Chenghua expect besides relying on eunuchs in the palace?"

While speaking, Wang Guan also smiled: "I accidentally went too far. Anyway, the emperor's personality not only determined the government affairs at that time, but also the style of the palace's use of artifacts."

"From the experience of Emperor Chenghua, he should be a relatively introverted person. This is a character developed due to his imprisoned career. He will not trust anyone easily, but after gaining his trust, he will receive his unreserved support."

"This is how Concubine Wan was. When Emperor Chenghua was under house arrest, he only had Concubine Wan's company and comfort, so Emperor Chenghua relied on her so much that he had no son for more than ten years."

"In the past ten years, there have been pregnant concubines in the palace who have been inexplicably miscarried, and it is impossible for the emperor to not notice it. However, even if he knows that it was Concubine Wan's hand and footwork, he never wanted to blame him, which shows his weakness in character."

Wang Guan shook his head and said, "Anyone with a lone and weak personality generally does not like strong and bold things. Therefore, most porcelains in the Chenghua era were dignified and beautiful, exquisite and ingenious, light and elegant, exquisite and slender, round and beautiful. The representative work is the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, which was an extremely precious thing at that time, and now it is a rare treasure."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said."

At this moment, Director Wang shook his head and said, "However, this bowl is not an exquisite and compact cup at the moment, but a large potency, which does not conform to the characteristics of Chenghua porcelain you mentioned."

"No hurry, I'm going to say it." Wang Guan smiled and said, "In the Chenghua period, the blue and white objects were mostly small, so even if there were a small number of large objects occasionally, it was inevitable that they would have the style of small objects."

"Take this big bowl of foot lying as an example, it is very simple and elegant, and the body is delicate and white, with very obvious characteristics. Because this white is no longer like the white in the white or light in the Yongxuan period, but a white with a slightly yellow in the white and warm color."

Wang Guan said slowly: "Especially, the body's enamel is fine and soft, the bubbles are small, thick and moist, like fat and jade, and the feel is extremely delicate and smooth. This is the unique style of blue and white porcelain in the Chenghua period."

"Of course, the main color of blue and white is the color of blue and white. Unlike the imported material Sumaliqing used during the Yongxuan period, most porcelains in Chenghua period mainly used domestic blue and equal blue. Because the blue and white materials were refined very fine, there were few impurities. The blue and white colors were darker and elegant, giving people a lively dynamic feeling."
