Chapter 517 Small Jade
The authentic item is still authentic, but it is still from a folk kiln. The point of controversy is which generation of folk kiln this is.
There is a small jagged mark near the glaze on the foot of this small vase. Although it has been trimmed, a little scratch mark can still be seen.
This basically means that it is a purely handmade object. At the very least, it is not turned out in batches by factory standard wheels.
This jagged mark is also on small pieces of folk kiln porcelain from the Qianlong period. It is often found in official kilns, and is even occasionally found in official kilns. Therefore, this artifact must be from after the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty.
The next step is to study the hair color of Jilan.
Sacrifice blue is a high-grade glaze for official sacrificial vessels. Generally, Su material and Huiqing material are used in the early and middle stages of the life belt. The color is indigo, which means that the blue has precipitated to the point where it turns black.
Due to the shortage of Su materials and high-end Huiqing materials in the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty began to extract the top-grade material from Huiqing materials, which was blue and purple, and was called "Buddha's head green" glaze. As a glaze for burning sacrificial blue.
In the late Qianlong period, the country's power declined, and the green material for Buddha's head was rarely found in fired vessels, and the material and color materials became further coarse.
“The tire of this vase is relatively light, indicating that the mud is made by hand;”
"The glaze color is rather stiff and dull. It is not as pure as the early Qianlong period, and even worse than the freshness and elegance of the Kang and Yong period."
Seeing that Lao Li's expression became stiff and dull, Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "But stiffness is still there This is not a derogatory term, because this kind of stiffness is exactly the characteristic of Jilan porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty."
"Because after Tongguang, such glaze color can only be called 'frivolous'." < br>
"With the brown glaze ring at the bottom, which is a common feature of blue porcelain in the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty, the six-character three-line seal script of the 'Daoguang Year System of the Qing Dynasty' also conforms to the official style... "Finally Zhou Zhi said the truth Final opinion: "This porcelain is authentic, and its name should be called the Daoguang Guan Kiln Ji-blue Glaze Small Appreciation Vase of the Qing Dynasty."
"Is it real? How much can it be worth?" Lao Li suddenly changed from stiff and dull to enraptured.
"I don't know about this, and I don't care much about the price..." Such things can be called "small boutiques" in the mouths of Wenwan players, but Zhou Zhi has seen so many such small boutiques that he really doesn't pay much attention to them. Pass.
On the contrary, Lao Zhang picked up the bottle and looked at it: "Your product is a little different. Look here, there is a notch here, and there is a chicken foot. But because the official blue glaze is rare, we If I charge more than 700, I think Zhou Zhi was secretly frightened. If Gongmei charges more than 700, the takeaway price will be at least 2,000. In other words, the price of antique porcelain is starting to increase a little bit. highlighted.
"Okay, it's all done. Both of these items can be put up for auction. Do you want to register?"
Old Li took back the small blue glaze bottle. : "I want to collect this."
But Lao Wang said: "I will give you this Longquan plate."
"Then Xiao Xu registers with Lao Wang. Hey, Lao Chai, you haven't left yet?"
"I'll wait for Lao Wang and Lao Li Together." Lao Chai is the owner of the celestial sphere bottle just now: "There is also Teacher Xiao Zhou. I also want to buy a set of the book list.”
“Let me remind you, those books are quite expensive.”
Lao Chai estimates. Not short of money, he just waved his hand: "It's better than taking medicine."
"Okay then." Mr. Zhang said: "Then come with me."
When XCMG registered Lao Wang to participate in the auction, Mr. Zhang found a picture album for Lao Chai, but these three people still did not leave. .
"Do you have anything else to do?" Mr. Zhang was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking.
Lao Chai Nan smiled and said: "Didn't Teacher Xiao Zhou say that he is also here to sell things? We were wondering if we could... open our eyes..." "This is not the rule in the antique shop." Zhang Laowen said He frowned.
"This is not a place to send people to the ghost market in Xianqiao, this is to save labor and beauty." Lao Chai smiled playfully: "We are all workers in the new era, and we are not bad people. We just want to learn from Teacher Xiao Zhou..."
"Songxianqiao also opened a ghost market?" Zhou Zhi asked.
Songxian Bridge is located at the mouth of Huanhua River not far from Du Fu Thatched Cottage. According to ancient legend, someone once saw Lu Dongbin there, and later it seems that Lu Dongbin often appeared there and was discovered, so he got such a name. Son.
Later, it became a flea market and a second-hand market, and later developed into a cultural toy market. Now it should be an era when the second-hand market is beginning to take shape, and there is already a cultural toy trade. Ghost market.
"Yes, every Sunday morning, it starts at two or three o'clock and ends at dawn." Lao Chai said: "Teacher Xiao Zhou, do you want to go?"
"Let's get down to business first." Mr. Sun interrupted the chat between the two of them: "Elbow, I want to ask for your opinion. Do you want to show the goods you brought to a few people?"
"We still have it. Let's go see Shu embroidery." Jiang Shuyi no longer worries about Zhou Zhi being "bullied". She thinks it's boring to listen to them appreciating cultural relics, so she might as well go see the handicrafts here.
"That's right..." Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "First arrange for Xiao Lin to take you to see our fine works of art. Many of them are worth seeing."
Master Qiao is interested in both. Like it, he struggled for a long time and thought that he had seen all the things Zhou Zhi brought, but he had not yet touched Gongmei's artworks: "I will also go with Tingting and the others."
Wait until Jiang Shuyi and the others leave. , Zhou Zhi opened the box he brought.
The box was packed tightly, with bamboo shavings densely stuffed between things.
Most of the things are packed in beautiful cloth bags, and the things are taken out one by one from small to large items carefully.
The first cloth bag was opened, and there were four small cloth bags inside. Mr. Sun shook out four small pieces of jade from inside.
Among the four small jade articles, there are two rectangular seal-like ones, which are carved from XJ Hotan mutton-fat white jade. The style is very simple, but the text is engraved on the side. Generally, there are seals at the bottom of the seal. Wen, these two "seals" are not there.
The other two pieces are made of Khotan green and white jade. One of them is a small jade figure with rough and simple knife skills, bright and smooth. The shape is also somewhat abstract, but very vivid, and can be called a fine art.
The other piece is also similar to the seal, but there is a thin line dividing it in the middle. It is similar to the style of a jade cong, but there is a small flat button at the bottom and a small wishful spoon on the top.
Lao Chai and the others looked at each other, not knowing what these were.
"What a good thing..." Mr. Zhang took the jade figurine and rubbed it: "The jade is of excellent quality, the paste is thick, and the eight swords of the Han Dynasty are sharp. This is a typical Western Han Dynasty thing."
"Mr. Sun, what is this?"
Mr. Sun smiled and said: "Elbow, what is your thing, can you tell me about it?"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "These things are all evil spirits often worn by wealthy people in the Han Dynasty. The little jade figure in Mr. Sun's hand is named 'Weng Zhong'."
"There are many stories about the origin of Weng Zhong. According to one theory, his surname was Ruan. He was from Annan in the Qin Dynasty. He was one foot three feet tall and had a courageous temperament that was different from ordinary people. The first emperor unified the world and made General Weng Zhong cast in bronze after his death. "
“Later, the statues of civil and military figures in front of the princes’ tombs were often called Weng Zhong.”
“In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, the plague was prevalent. At that time, it was said that wearing some objects could ward off evil spirits, so it became popular. Get up.”
“These four items were a set of items that were popular at the time to ward off evil spirits.”
