Chapter 673 Value
“It’s not easy, but among all your collections, which one is easy?” Fourth Aunt smiled encouragingly: “If there is a will, things can come true. Times have changed now, and you always have more opportunities than we did back then."
"Okay, then I will take back this Ge Kiln fish basket and seal incense burner, and I will keep these pieces of porcelain here. for The two elders enjoy it."
"No need." Although the fourth cousin couldn't put it down, he still refused Zhou Zhi: "This thing is too expensive, so I don't dare to stay here overnight."
"Just leave this imitation Jun kiln tripod here, and take everything else back." The fourth cousin said, "There is also the Liu Songnian fan that my fourth aunt repaired."
"Okay. Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, take a look at this again." After saying that, he took out a pair of office teacups made of water-dotted peach blossom porcelain, plus a water bowl and a pen holder: "These four pieces of peach porcelain represent filial piety. "The second brother."
"Oh, this is the name of Jingde No. 1 Factory!" the fourth cousin said in surprise.
Zhou Zhi was even more surprised: "Do you know this old person?"
"Of course I do." The fourth cousin said: "I used to have a few old classmates there, and this The color of the peach blossom head is pink, which is made from 45% aluminum and 36% manganese. This formula will appear under the high temperature of 18% mineralizer. Corundum type pink”
“How do you know so well”
The fourth cousin was very proud: "Because the color of this thing was right at the time, but the glaze would crack after being glazed and refired. My classmate wrote letters everywhere asking for ideas, and finally solved the problem with my idea."
< br>"Eh? Director Liao of the Gan Province Light Industry Bureau also said this. He said it was approved by the Porcelain Research Institute Did you solve this problem by inventing a new glaze?"
"Haha, that means Director Liao didn't know much about the details of the craftsmanship at that time," the fourth cousin said with a smile. It only solves the problem of color tone. What really solves the problem of glaze color cracking is the application of colorant before the final over-firing. The key is to pickle the porcelain body.”
After saying that, he held up the water bowl and was overjoyed: “After they successfully fired it, I asked my old classmate to take some photos to see. That guy told me what state secrets he had, and he didn’t even give me a photo.”
“The great thing about this seven-character prefix is creation. For example, it inherited the pastel technology from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time changed the overglaze pastel to underglaze. It not only maintained and promoted the boneless technique, but also made the porcelain pattern conform to the Chinese aesthetics of painting. At the same time, it also It is equivalent to adding a layer of glass glaze to the pattern, giving the porcelain better retention. ”
"This is a breakthrough and pioneering work since the development of our country's porcelain into New China." said the fourth cousin: "So I can see it at a glance."
"How did you get the elbow?"
< br>Zhou Zhi told the story of getting the porcelain to his fourth uncle and aunt, and then said: "This porcelain was fired for Jurentang at that time, so it is indeed a state secret."
"According to Director Liao, more than 10,000 pieces were developed at that time. Only 4,000 pieces came out of the kiln intact. More than a thousand pieces were sent to the capital. The rest were sent to Hunan Province, and the remaining parts were kept in the warehouse of the Gan Province Porcelain Factory. ”
“Originally, all the porcelain should be destroyed, but later, considering that the special porcelain would be damaged during use, only part of it was destroyed and some were retained.”
"Later, some porcelain was distributed to employees as welfare. The porcelain factory employees used it as daily necessities and lost a large part of it. I tried to collect the rest as much as possible, including the seven-character Mao porcelain and the five-character Jianguo Add up the porcelain and you will probably get I bought over two thousand pieces.”
“You did a good job in this matter!” The fourth cousin praised: “Nowadays, the first thing that comes to mind when collecting is to make money. Understand the cultural value and beauty of cultural and recreational items "Mao porcelain and Jianguo porcelain are extremely difficult to make and the exquisiteness of the artifacts is not inferior to those of the previous dynasties. Why do they not receive the treatment they deserve?" "What?" The fourth cousin was a little angry: "To put it bluntly, it is a modern handicraft with no economic value, so it has been ignored along with its cultural value, artistic value, and historical value." "The fourth aunt has no historical value." He pursed his lips and smiled.
“You can’t say that.” Zhou Zhi said: “At least in terms of craft research, the five-character head porcelain still follows the path of imitating antiques from the previous dynasties, so it must learn a lot from the previous dynasties. The experience of firing antique porcelain ”
"Mao porcelain is actually the absorption and development of three generations of pastels, and it also inherited a large amount of the painting style of the Eight Friends of Zhushan in the Republic of my country. Therefore, from this perspective, Mao porcelain and Jianguo porcelain are important for the study of Chinese porcelain, especially It is the history of the firing of official kiln wares, and it is of great historical value."
The fourth aunt smiled and nodded: "You have to play with porcelain until you are like this."
"Ah? Aunt, did you just test me?"
"Since you still have so many, your fourth uncle and I will not be polite to you." The fourth aunt took a pair of covered ones The office cup was pulled in front of him: "This pair will be the master cup of my family from now on!"
"This trip to the capital has been fruitful." The fourth uncle smiled at Zhou Zhi and said, "It's a waste of money. Quite a few, right?”
"Fortunately, it was Mr. Wang's disciple who introduced me to participate. Mr. Wang was there at the time, and the price seemed fair to everyone. At least this imitation Jun kiln tripod was half cheaper than the overseas auction price."
Zhou Zhi didn’t dare to say that he also bought the courtyard house of Lord Beile of the Qing Dynasty and the collection of the director of “The Burning of Old Summer Palace”. He also didn’t dare to tell his fourth uncle the true auction price of the two pieces of porcelain he bought in Haitong, otherwise he would be The fourth cousin was hit hard.
For old people who have a habit of picking things up, anyone who participates in the auction is a fool.
Fortunately, the two pieces of porcelain that Zhou Zhi took down were both rare. The fourth cousin knew that such things would definitely be worth a lot of money at auction.
There is nothing that can be done about it, and the other advantage of these two pieces of porcelain is that they have the status of reflux porcelain, and can participate in the free auctions of major houses in the future, unlike those cultural relics that are not allowed to leave the country, so The value space is huge.
Based on all this, the fourth cousin did not continue to ask questions.
This was Zhou Zhi's pager, but when Zhou Zhi saw that it was Jiang Shuyi's home phone number, he quickly called back.
"Zhou Zhi, are you back? Where are you now?"
"I'm at my fourth uncle's house, and you guys are back too?"
"Hey, you know we What are you doing?" Another voice sounded on the other side of the phone, but it was Zhang Xinyi's voice: "Come here, we need your help!"
"Rub the ice powder, Aster told me."
"No..." Zhang Xinyi on the other end of the phone was about to cry: "Yes...it's the nails. They are so ugly now. I can't even wash them." Can’t wash it off, what should I do?”
