"Young people have their own opinions, which is a good thing..."
While speaking, Mr. Kong Qiguai said: "But I'm very curious. You just saw that the characteristics of things are very consistent with the craftsmanship characteristics of Xuande blue and white porcelain, but how come you finally come up with a completely opposite inference?"
"...I'm a slut." Yu Feibai said with a frown. Although he was unhappy, he was still keeping his mouth shut about Mr. Zhu's affairs before getting Qian Lao's permission." "It is because of this essence, perhaps it's a little shining, so many things did not avoid him, let him understand the specific situation and participate.
As the saying goes, Mr. Kong can naturally see that Yu Feibai has not told the truth, but instead concealed some facts. After all, a normal person, especially when appraising things, cannot suddenly rush to overturn his identification results. If he really does this, there must be a certain reason.
Thinking of this, Mr. Kong thought about it and suddenly said, "Wait for a moment, I'll ask you to see another thing."
"I can't find it."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Today I'm going to have a feast for my eyes."
Mr. Kong smiled and asked the secretary to move out the Xuande blue and white cricket jar, then took out his own actions, and soon brought back a brocade box. The moment he saw the brocade box, Yu Wei, who had been silent, showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Old Kong."
At this time, Yu Wei said carefully: "Are you still suspicious?"
Doubt? What do you doubt? Everyone is naturally confused, and at the same time, they understand that what Mr. Kong took out is definitely not as simple as everyone imagined.
"I also know that I'm a little suspicious, but I always feel a little uneasy."
After explaining to Yu Wei, Mr. Kong laughed: "It just so happened that the masters were full of people today, so I naturally wanted to take this opportunity to ask them for advice so that I could completely dispel my doubts."
"Yes." Yu Wei nodded slightly and immediately smiled: "Actually, I can understand Mr. Kong's idea. After all, things are too precious and rare, so you should be more cautious."
"What the hell is it?" Someone couldn't help but urge: "Light out and take a look."
"good……"
Old Kong smiled and nodded, opened the lid of the box, carefully carried out the thing and placed it on the coffee table. Everyone looked at it quickly and was suddenly surprised: "It's a jar again!"
Yes, the thing is indeed a jar. It has a large mouth and a short neck, a round shoulder and astringent belly. It looks like a wine jar, but it is actually a jar, and it also has a lid. It is a round jar shape.
However, after closer inspection, everyone also found that this round jar was somewhat different from the Xuande blue and white cricket jar just now. The main reason is that the patterns on the jar are not only limited to blue and white, but also red and yellow colors.
"Doucai Can?"
At first glance, Old Chang narrowed his eyes: "Brother Kong, don't tell me, this is Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Can!"
"Brother Chang's eyes are as sharp as a torch, which is admirable."
In an instant, Kong Lao laughed. Then he took off the lid and put it in place, then turned the can over. He saw that under the light, the word "天" immediately appeared in front of everyone.
"It's really a Doucai Tianzi Can."
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but be shocked and sighed at Mr. Kong's good luck.
Most people should know that the preciousness of Chenghua porcelain, especially the Doucai Chicken Gate Cup, is already a myth in the auction market. However, some people must not know that there is something more precious than the chicken jar cup in the Chenghua Dynasty, that is, the Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Can.
Anyway, in the antique industry, the reputation of Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Can is far better than that of Xuande Blue and White cricket jars. The main reason is that this thing is very rare, even more rare than Xuande Blue and White cricket jars.
Moreover, compared with cricket jars, the Tianzi can have a more mysterious color. For five hundred years, the Tianzi can has been covered with a mysterious veil. No one can say the specific use of this type of jar so far, or there is no evidence to be recognized by the world. There are many different opinions about the origin of this Tianzi can, which naturally adds a lot of added value.
Why is the character "Tian" written on the bottom of the character "Tian" in the character "Tian"? There are many speculations.
Generally speaking, it is arranged according to the "Thousand Character Classic". The "Thousand Character Classic" begins with the mysterious yellow heaven and earth, and the universe is vast. So we often say that the word "Tian" is the first, so this is how the word "Tian" at the bottom of the jar comes from.
The problem is that in the porcelain of the same period, no arrangements of the characters "di", "xuan" and "yellow" were found, so this guess was a bit untenable and very easy to question.
In addition, it is the purpose of this kind of jar. Some say it is to place oil and salt, some say it is to place debris, and some say it is to place grain, rice and flour. There is no conclusion anyway. The only thing we can know is that this jar is a practical utensil, not an ornamental item.
Moreover, Tianzi Can was first created in Chenghua, and it was not only precious today, but it was particularly precious in history.
There is a record in the Qing Palace documents that on June 19, the construction office of the Yangxin Palace sent a kiln with a missing glaze and a decree to Tang Ying to replenish the glaze.
After receiving the order, Tang Ying was very nervous and brought the things back to the Imperial Kiln Factory. After studying for two or three months, he did not dare to replenish the glaze. Instead, he copied several jars and sent them back to Emperor Qianlong with the original jar, and attached a memorial to apologize.
It’s not that Tang Ying’s skill is not good, but mainly because the Tianzi can is too precious. He dared not take this risk easily, otherwise his head would probably be put on the ground if he broke the can. From this, everyone can also guess that the Tianzi can must not be many during the Chenghua period, so it was very few when it was spread to the Qing Dynasty, so it was so rare and highly valued by Emperor Qianlong.
But then again, it was just too rare. Even Tang Ying made a few imitations to present them to Emperor Qianlong. So the situation of fraud among the people can be imagined.
"Brother Kong, what you mean, seems to be wrong with this thing?"
At this time, Mr. Chang asked, frowned and said, "Is it a fake?"
It is not impossible. After all, Chenghua Tianzi Can is different from Xuande Blue and White Cricket Can. Everyone knows that cricket cans have almost been smashed, but fewer people have made counterfeits. However, Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Can has been passed down and there are real objects to imitate, so there are naturally more fakes.
So after seeing the thing, everyone was a little excited, but they slowly calmed down and began to consider the issue of authenticity and imitation.
"We've studied it carefully and it doesn't feel like a fake."
At this time, Mr. Kong didn't say anything, but the aftertaste of pangbian certainly said: "Whether it is the carcass or the glaze craftsmanship, it is consistent with the authentic ones, full of the characteristics of the times, and it cannot be a fake or a fake one."
It can be seen that the appraisal work of this Tianzi Can should be responsible for Yu Wei or his friends. Anyway, it is closely related to him, so naturally we have to defend it.
"No hurry, let's take a look first."
At this time, Mr. Zhou stood up and planned to smile after a moment, saying, "I have always said that Chenghua has no great power, but this Tianzi Can is obviously an exception."
"It's not that there are no great things, but that there are few great things, not as many great things as in the Xuande period."
Mr. Chang corrected: "And don't think that the color carvings seemed very precious in ancient times. In fact, when they were burned, they were not recognized by the world. It was not until the Wanli period that everyone realized the preciousness of things, and then a series of imitations appeared."
Since Wanli, imitations of Chenghua porcelain have appeared, especially after the Qing Dynasty, the imitation level was the highest in Kangxi and Yongzheng periods, reaching the level of fakes and realism. Some imitations are even more exquisite than Chenghua porcelain itself.
"This is normal. Any new thing will inevitably be questioned, even criticized and slandered." Mr. Zhou smiled and said: "After all, people at that time like simple and elegant styles more, but by the Wanli period, society was rich, and everyone's aesthetic style naturally changed, and they naturally prefer colorful things."
"As for imitations, this is also an inevitable thing."
At the right time, Mr. Zhou continued to smile and said, "The new pottery imitates the previous dynasty, and the price of mixing it into Chengxuan is higher. As long as there is enough profit, let alone imitate Chenghua porcelain, even things from the Huangdi period can be imitated..."
Wang Guan and others immediately laughed, knowing that Mr. Zhou was implicitly mocking some shoddy people, and he had no sincerity to make fraud, and he actually made up as he pleased. Don’t say that an insider shook his head, even an outsider would laugh to death.
"Of course, whether something is a real or imitation needs careful verification. After all, imitation products are imitations after all, and there will always be some subtle flaws. If we observe carefully and study them carefully, it will not be difficult to distinguish."
While speaking, Mr. Zhou focused on studying it, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Brother Kong, do you feel uneasy in your heart? Is it because of the carcass problem?"
"Is there any problem with the carcass?"
When Mr. Kong heard this, he hurriedly asked. You should know that he didn't really think there was something wrong with the things, but he just felt a little uneasy. Now, after hearing what Mr. Zhou said, he was anxious.
"The body is solid, the body is pure and delicate, the bottom is exposed and the body is unglazed, and there are many yellow-brown spots, which is the so-called rice paste bottom. It is the same characteristics as the Chenghua porcelain recorded in the literature. What problems can there be?" Yu Wei frowned. He has been studying the things for a long time and has never felt anything abnormal in the body.
"you're right."
Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "But you have overlooked one thing. The porcelain in the Chenghua period was made of Macang soil, so the porcelain body of this period was characterized by flesh-red red under the light and a tooth-transmissive. Since Macang soil has been used in later generations, it has been replaced by other porcelain clay porcelain. Then this feature no longer exists, and the body color of the porcelain is generally blue-white."
"Come and see now, is this tooth huangse or blue-white?"
Under Mr. Zhou's instructions, Yu Wei quickly observed from different angles, and the expression on her face became shady and shady.
"It's really a fake?"
In an instant, Mr. Kong's expression became bad. His mentality was quite contradictory. At first, he felt that things might be wrong, but now he was really sure that things were wrong, and he was going to get confused again... (To be continued...
