Chapter 573 "Picture of a Lady with Hairpin Flowers"
After loading a dozen pieces of porcelain into the car, closing the car door and walking towards the market again, Lao Chai asked Zhou Zhi: "Do you have any bird food jars?" Pay attention to it?”< br>
"Well, although the utensils are small, they are good things. They belong to Qianlong."
"It's not expensive at all. Why do you see Qianlong?" Lao Chai was startled. , and facing Zhou He cupped his hand and said with a smile: "How lucky you are to receive such a generous gift from me."
"The characteristic of pastel is to add glass white to the material, and use the boneless rendering technique of Chinese painting to apply the color at will. By increasing or decreasing the shades and levels of colors, you can draw rich color levels, soft colors, obvious transition effects, strong three-dimensional effects, and can fully reflect the yin and yang of objects. ”
"The reason why it is said to be Qianlong is because the raw materials used in pastels, in addition to those using ancient colors, also created several colors, such as carmine, Qiang red, magenta, magenta, etc."
"Among them, carmine and aqua red are made of red gold and crystal materials; the magenta and magenta , foreign white, jade and other colors are all made of saltpeter powder, stone powder, borax. "
"The porcelain that uses these kinds of color materials is undoubtedly from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty."
< br>"The three generations of pastels have their own characteristics. "Tao Ya" says: 'Kang Kiln Blue The green color is thick, so it is hard color, while Yongzheng color is light and beautiful, so there is powder, and those without powder are also based on the lightness of other qualities. "Yin Liu Zhai Shuo Porcelain" said: "Kangxi hard color, Yongzheng color." Soft color. Hard color means that the color is very thick, and the glaze foil is slightly raised; soft color is also called pastel, which means that the color is deep. There are even pink colors, hard colors are luxurious and deep, and pink colors are bright and elegant. '"
"So it is not difficult to see that the red and green colors of Kangxi's five colors are very thick, so it is called hard color, Yongzheng. Pastels are powdery and even, light and beautiful, so they are called soft colors. ”
“Although Kang kiln also has pastel wares, the overall color is still too rich and bright, not as elegant as the Yongzheng period.”
“By Qianlong, pastel became the mainstream of colored porcelain. In addition to white ground pastel, all kinds of Pastel porcelain with ground colors, such as pea green ground, red ground, yellow ground, Blue ground, green ground, carmine ground, wood grain glazed ground, broken grain ground, etc. have become popular styles. This is the gorgeous style inherited from the copper enamel porcelain of Qianlong."
“The most popular one is to apply low-temperature green glaze on the inside of the vessel, and sometimes the bottom of the vessel is also covered with green glaze. The jargon is called "Green Li Pastel", also known as "Green Li ware". "
"Because Green ware was very popular, a large number of them were copied from Jiaqing to the Republic of China, and were even used by Qianlong. White porcelain is painted and fired repeatedly, which is very confusing.”
< br>"But the green color of the real Qianlong green ware is light and flashy yellow, with small cracks on the surface, which is the so-called 'orange peel pattern'. The bonding of the glaze is very strong. It rarely peels off, while Jiaqing The later ones will be more green and more likely to peel off. ”
"Compared with Yongzheng pastels, Qianlong pastels have changed from elegant and beautiful to rich and luxurious in large pieces. However, in some small pieces, the decorative style continues to inherit the flower patterns of the Yongzheng period, including flower patterns on branches and A small number of ink and color landscape paintings still maintain an elegant and quiet style."
“These three small jars have all the above characteristics. The green lining is pink glaze, and the outline of the pattern is outlined with gold lines. The rim is painted with gold.”
“This is a Qianlong pastel glaze. Characteristics of high-quality products, so although the three bird food cans are small, they are truly high-quality products. . ”
“That means the boss doesn’t know what to buy, so we picked it up for nothing.” The three old men's interest suddenly became high. Old Li smiled and said: "This must be worth it if you don't change hands." "Three or four hundred?" "Actually, it's better as a specimen. If you take it out often and try to figure it out, you'll have an intuitive impression of this type of porcelain." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing me here to play. It's a good choice." These little things are just small gifts.”
"Those blue and white pieces are the big leaks, right?" Lao Chai said: "Thick body, fat glaze, superb painting skills, but it's a pity that I don't have the money, so I don't dare to do it. What do you think of the elbow?"
"I have to go back and talk about this slowly, but it must be good stuff. I'll find a place to read it later and talk about it later." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's serious to continue shopping now!"< br>
"Yes, yes..." Lao Chai said with a smile: "Anyway, things can't escape here. Wait until dawn to find a place, and you can go to class with us again!"
It should be said that ninety-two There are still a lot of real things in the second-hand art and toy market in 2018, such as leader badges, quotation badges, little red books, etc. that will become rare in another twenty years. Now there are countless them.
In addition, there are many bamboo and wooden wares that are characteristic of Sichuan, especially those made of golden nanmu. They are on the same level as camphor wood, green gangwood and old nan bamboo wares, and there is no special treatment.
There are also many single-color glazed porcelains, but due to the limitations of today's buyers and sellers, the good and the bad are mixed and difficult to distinguish, just like the pomegranate statue that was missed before, resulting in extremely low prices.
But this category is extremely broad. Starting from the original celadon of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, we know that the lime glazes of later rural earthen kilns are actually single-color glazes, and the large-scale technological process from tire treatment to glaze firing is basically the same. It's still the same, and many experts have to pay attention to this.
Zhou Zhi did not have this problem, because there were too many fragments of Han pottery, Song porcelain, Qing porcelain, and various types of porcelain unearthed from Jiachuan. He picked up a lot of them on the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiachuan.
However, the older the industry, the more valuable it is. It mainly depends on the market’s acceptance and popularity.
For example, the shrimps sold by Qi Baishi in this market are less than one thousand when they are four and a half feet tall. However, the paintings of Zhang Daqian, who is now internationally famous, have long exceeded thirty thousand and one feet.
Along the way, Zhou Zhi took another shot, the only authentic copy of the Tang Dynasty lady painting handed down in the world - a rough silk color painting "Hairpin" painted by Zhou Fang of the Tang Dynasty. Flower Lady Picture".
Of course it cannot be the original work. The original work is in the LN Provincial Museum. The one Zhou Zhi bought now was actually made by Rong Baozhai in 1956 when the state organized a research project. , a silk work reproduced through woodblock watermarking technology.
But this is remarkable. The most precious thing about woodblock watermarks is that they can reproduce the original work to the maximum extent and be faithful to the original work. The level of reproduction is so high that sometimes it is impossible to distinguish the original work from the copy.
Rong Baozhai’s works are among the best. The painting “Lady with Hairpin Flowers” in Zhou Zhi’s hand was copied by the country at that time and dozens of copies could be given to foreign friends as a national gift. Yes, the specifications are quite high.
But at this flea market, Zhou Zhi only spent 80 yuan and got it easily.
This is a gift for my fourth cousin and aunt. I believe that the two elders will be very happy when they see this artistic treasure, which is "a first-class authentic work".
