Chapter 1353 Dragon wears peony white jade cup

This is a group of white jade twelfth month pendants. The jade is white and shiny. It is cut from a whole piece of jade. The carving is exquisite and the design is unique.

A single moon ring pendant is in the shape of a petal, surrounded by cloud patterns, and twelve moon ring pendants can form a flower shape.

This set of white jade twelfth month order adornment has a diameter of 11.3cm, a bell shape of 6.4cm in length, 5.5cm in width and 0.6cm in thickness.

There are thirteen pieces in the whole group, the jade is pure white and flawless, as smooth as fat.

In the middle is a round plate shaped like a birch, which resembles a flower pistil. The center of the circle is cut with six rings, which can be rotated.

One side is carved with plum blossoms, narcissus, peony and other flowers, and the other side is carved with twelve rhythms in seal script.

The remaining twelve pieces are in the shape of ancient bells, with twelve kinds of flowers carved on one side and four-character inscriptions in seal script corresponding to them on the other side.

This set of jade carvings is obviously a complete set, and there is another set of jade wares like this, which is a three-piece set.

This set is the three things of jasper furnace, bottle and box. It is a complete set of jade wares, including three pieces of jasper furnace, bottle and box.

Among them, the height of the furnace is 15.1cm, the length is 15.5cm, and the width is 8.9cm;

The height of the bottle is 13.1cm, the width of the abdomen is 5.2cm, and the thickness of the abdomen is 3.2cm;

The box is 7cm high, 6.8cm long, and 4cm wide.

The three pieces of jade are all made of jasper, a set of three, consisting of a furnace, a bottle, and a box.

The jade furnace is a furnace with double animal ears and a movable ring cover, which is rectangular and has four tubes.

The roof is rectangular, hollowed out and carved with a pan dragon, and the dragon has four legs and four pan chi.

The upper part of the furnace body is carved with dragon patterns in shallow relief, the lower part is carved with the word "Shou" and cloud patterns between the four tube-shaped feet, the feet are carved with cicada patterns, and the two sides are convexly carved with double beasts with ring ears.

The jade bottle is slightly flat and oval in shape, with a thin neck and a small mouth. The neck is carved with deformed cicada patterns, and the abdomen is carved with dragon patterns.

A set of copper shovel and chopsticks are inserted in the bottle.

The jade box is rectangular with rounded corners, and the cover is consecrated with deformed Kui dragon patterns in bas-relief.

Under the three utensils, there are mahogany seats of the same shape.

The three types of jade furnace, bottle and box were very rare in the Ming Dynasty, but flourished in the Qing Dynasty.

There are different jade qualities such as sapphire, white jade, and jasper.

The decorations are also different, and some are inlaid with gems, which are generally indoor group appliances.

The stove is used to burn incense, and the box is used to store spices. The shovel and chopsticks used to shovel incense ash can be inserted into the bottle, and these three items can also be placed on several tables as furnishings.

Such a set of emerald green utensils is not small in size, so it is naturally very precious.

But among this batch of jade wares, they are not the most exquisite ones, but twelve petal-shaped pendants.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that the twelve petal-shaped pendants are the most delicate.

It cuts plum blossom, apricot blossom, peach blossom, peony (peony), pomegranate, lotus, okra, osmanthus, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, camellia and narcissus on one side.

The other side is carved with Yangwen seal characters corresponding to the flowers, which are "Mei Rui Chuanxiang", "Xinglin Tuyan", "Xiangtao Xianmei", "Shaoyao Turning Red", "Anshi Yuehui", "Ruihe Qingli", "Sunflower Heart to the Sun", "Osmanthus Fragrance", "Golden Chrysanthemum Solemn", "Hibiscus Brilliant", "Pearl Brilliance", "Fairy Lingbo".

Among them, the jade pendant with the four characters "peony turning red" in seal script is engraved on the back, while the flower carved on the front is not a peony, but a broken branch peony.

Peony and peony belong to the same family and belong to the same family. They have similar flower shapes and similar flowering periods. The difference lies in the shape and color of the leaves.

The flowers carved on this jade pendant should undoubtedly be peonies based on the shape of the leaves.

There are so many jade wares, but they are still very scattered. I don't know what happened when I went out to sea with the boat.

At least, over the past three or four hundred years, there must be a reason why there are so many scattered jade articles.

Therefore, in the end, Chen Wenzhe's eyes focused on a large jade article.

This is a round box with peony pattern carved with jasper. It is the most conspicuous because it is the largest.

How big is it?Its diameter is [-] centimeters, its foot diameter is [-] centimeters, and its height is [-] centimeters.

All the jade wares that Chen Wenzhe played with before were hidden in this jade box.

While watching and tidying up, only a white jade cup was left in the end.

why?Because the style of this white jade cup is obviously different from those jade wares I saw before, and it doesn't seem to be from the same era.

The shape of this cup is simple, but the carving is not simple.

Such a cup should be the best jade carving.

This cup should also be considered an antique in the Ming Dynasty.

Because Chen Wenzhe looked at it, it looked like a work from the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

This is a white jade dragon-handle sunflower-style cup from the Song to Yuan Dynasties.

Jade vessels were relatively rare before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but the number increased after the Tang and Song Dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, the development of jade vessels was very significant and became the representative objects of Ming Dynasty jade vessels.

Among them, the jade cups with different shapes and exquisite carvings are the most distinctive.

In the Qing Dynasty, the category, quantity and craftsmanship of jade vessels reached their peak.

The Ming Dynasty was in a position of inconsistency, the top was not as good as the founding period of the Song Dynasty, and the bottom was not as good as the heyday of the Qing Dynasty.

It can be said that they are in a very embarrassing position.

This is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty also liked antiques. Not only modern people like antiques, but also people in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Therefore, what Chen Wenzhe is holding at this time is a sunflower-style jade cup with a dragon handle from the Song Dynasty.

The jade material of this jade article is dark white and severely weathered.

The jade cup is in the shape of a plum blossom with five petals, and a Kui dragon is embossed in high relief.

On the cup is a dragon with a long and curved body. The front half of the body is encircled by the handle of the cup, and the back half of the body is encircled by the outer wall of the cup.

Peony flower and leaf patterns are embossed on the side of the dragon. From this point of view, it can also be said that it is also compatible with the previous jade carvings with peony patterns.

The theme of dragon wearing peony was widely used in handicrafts of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but most of them were used for jade pendants, and the pattern of dragon wearing peony on vessels is relatively rare.

Among a pile of Ming Dynasty jades, a Song Dynasty treasure suddenly appeared. Chen Wenzhe felt very strange.

"Old Gao, where was this jade cup found? It was also found in that large jasper round box?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case. This cup is different from those accessories. It seems to be found in a cabin, because the cabin is relatively well preserved. We need to salvage the water as soon as possible, so we pull the wreckage of the hull out of the water. It's still soaking in the pool, and it hasn't had time to clean it up."

Looking at the busy people, although they don't know how to restore antiques, they can take pictures, register, and make books.

Especially for some antiques that are not porcelain, they have no problem handling them, because they are not afraid of damage.

Therefore, such as bronze mirrors, glass mirrors, gold wares, and jade wares are all dealt with by Gao Qijing and the others.

"Just found such a jade cup?"

Chen Wenzhe became a little excited, maybe there are other jade objects in that cabin?

"It fell out when the cabin was salvaged." Gao Qijing said.

"Come on, let's go over and have a look, even if we don't demolish that cabin, we can still go in and hunt for treasure."

"Boss, you don't need to go there. I'll arrange someone to go in and have a look. If there are any treasures, I'll bring them to you."
