Chapter 1758
This Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln celadon glazed porcelain jar with a lotus leaf shape has a flint red color on the unglazed parts such as the rim, the inner edge of the lid, and the ring and foot.

The ring foot is round, with obvious cutting and trimming traces at the end of the foot, and a small amount of kiln slag sticking to the unglazed area.

This lotus leaf-shaped jar is a representative work of Longquan kiln plum celadon porcelain.

Its glaze color is soft and elegant, clean and lustrous, emerald green like emerald, warm and moist like spring water.

This feature has really reached the ideal state of "thousands of emerald peaks" and "like ice like jade" that my country's ceramics has pursued for thousands of years.

The lotus leaf-shaped lid jar has the function of storing wine, but it is really not easy to make this practical vessel more beautiful than the ornamental vessel.

Needless to say, this lotus-leaf-shaped jar must be an authentic Southern Song Dynasty product.

In fact, this type of utensil was mostly produced in the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, and the products of the Song Dynasty were only found in the cellars of Jinyu Village, so they are extremely precious.

And there are many first-class cultural relics like this, such as the blue and white glazed phoenix head porcelain water injection of Jingzhen kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It has a caliber of 2.9, an abdominal diameter of 8.9, a bottom diameter of 8.1, and a height of 9 cm.

This kind of porcelain belongs to the wheel system, with a small straight mouth, round lips, short neck, round shoulders, straight belly and slightly bulging, and a relatively obvious fine convex string pattern can be seen on the abdomen.

The bottom is flat, the outer ring is trimmed with a shallow ring, and the bottom is not very flat.

The meandering stream bends slightly, and the phoenix head is stacked on the stream, and the phoenix eyes are painted with brown glaze stippling.

The crank is located on the shoulder, and the handle is carved with three concave strings.

White body, bluish white glaze, and the place where the glaze accumulates is bluish green.

The outer wall is glazed to nearly the bottom, and the inner wall is glazed only to the mouth and neck.

There are two burn marks on the outer ring of the outsole.

Shuizhu is a stationery utensil, formerly known as inkstone drops, used to drip water for inkstone pools.

The bluish-white porcelain is poured with water that is as clear as jade, and its shape is random, and the water is poured like a small pot.

Fengliu crank handle, with elegant glaze color, is an exquisite workmanship artifact.

There is another piece of similar porcelain like this, which is a bluish white glaze printed double fish pattern mangkou porcelain dish from Jingzhen kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Due to the different categories, this piece of blue and white porcelain can only be regarded as a second-class cultural relic.

However, it is also very beautifully made.

This porcelain dish has a caliber of 10.8, a bottom diameter of 7.1, and a height of 1.9 cm. It is also made of wheels and belongs to the wheel printing.

It has a round mouth, a slightly slanted square lip, a slanted straight belly, and a large fold between the belly and the bottom.

Flat bottom with slightly convex insole.

Shi Qingbai glaze, the glaze color is mostly greenish green, a few are slightly lighter in color, and generally the inner wall is greener in color, and the outer wall is lighter in color.

Open flakes are rare, and the awn mouth is wider, which is slightly narrower on the inner side and wider on the outer side.

Below the rim of the inner side of the awn mouth, there is a circle of obvious glaze accumulation.

Scraped glaze on the sole of the foot, and the inner wall is decorated with die-printed patterns.

The theme pattern is the double fish pattern on the bottom of the dish, lined with water waves, sea waves or lotus patterns;
The auxiliary decoration is located on the inner wall of the dish, the inner ring is three layers of fine petal patterns, the outer ring is continuous fretwork, and the interval is single string pattern.

Pisces face each side, the fish pattern is relatively slender, and there are two fish scale patterns on the fish body.

In the middle there are two sea wave patterns juxtaposed in the same row, one is 4 layers of waves, the other is 3 layers of waves, and the water ripples are mostly vortex shapes.

The beauty and harmony of nature on this disc are all contained in a small pattern.

This reflects the Song people's aesthetic concept and life interest in pursuing the harmony between man and nature.

Therefore, don't underestimate this small dish because it is a second-class cultural relic. It is definitely a treasure among antiques.

There are still many second-class cultural relics like this in this cellar. After all, hundreds of thousands of pieces of porcelain are still collectibles, and there is naturally no shortage of high-quality porcelain.

Some of the outstanding ones, even with the current top technology, are difficult to perfectly replicate, such as the celadon glazed bamboo hat porcelain bowl with oblique and straight belly of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is definitely not easy for a bowl to be a second-class cultural relic, and it is even more difficult for a small bowl of green-glazed monochrome glazed porcelain to be a second-class cultural relic.

Looking closely at this bowl, its size is not too small, with a diameter of 16.3, a foot diameter of 4.5, and a height of 5.7 cm.

Open mouth, pointed lips, oblique and straight abdomen, small circle feet.

There are thicker glazes on the lower edge of the outer wall, and the glaze surface is protruding.

The center of the inner bottom and the center of the sole of the foot are raised in the shape of a chicken heart.

The white body is greyish, the fetal bone is slightly thick, and the whole body is covered with plum green glaze, the glaze color is blue and yellow at the edge of the mouth, the glaze surface is smooth and moist, and there is a needle hole on the outer wall.

The ring foot is not very round, and the end of the foot is not glazed, showing a light sauce color.

Porcelain bowls with bamboo hats are tea drinking utensils, which are produced in Ding Kiln and Jingzhen Kiln in addition to Longquan Kiln.

The biggest feature of the bamboo hat bowl is that it has a relatively thin tire.

Thin bodied porcelain appeared under the influence of gold and silverware.

Since the Tang Dynasty, porcelain has been trying to reduce the thickness of the wall of the utensils, so that the porcelain has the light and thin texture of gold and silver wares.

The few precious first-class cultural relics I saw before belonged to Jingzhen Kiln, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, Longquan Kiln was even more famous.

Therefore, there are quite a few Longquan kiln porcelains in this cellar, and of course there are a few pieces that can reach the first-class cultural relics.

For example, the blue-glazed three-legged porcelain furnace of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty is an out-and-out first-class cultural relic.

It has a caliber of 16.3, an abdominal diameter of 17.3, and a height of 12.6 cm.

Slanted mouth, rounded lips, short straight neck, bulging abdomen is relatively flat, the diameter of the caliber is similar to that of the abdomen, and three tapered feet.

There is a circle of shallow ribs on the shoulders, and three obvious triangular ribs on the abdomen opposite the three legs, slightly curved and undulating, extending from the shoulders to the feet.

There is a circle of contact marks between the feet and the abdomen, and the feet are flat.

Visible swirls on insole.

The fetal bone is relatively thick, and the shape of the whole utensil is dignified and regular.

The main reason is that there is no fetal color, and the whole body is covered with plum green glaze.

The glaze layer is relatively thick, and the glaze surface is smooth and moist. Only two faint opening lines can be seen on the edge of the mouth.

The protruding edges and the folded edges of the body all show a more obvious light white color.

The feet are unglazed and flint red.

Li-style furnaces were a common archaic shape in the Song Dynasty, but Longquan kiln plum-green products were the best.

The shape of this vessel is simple and elegant, the lines are straight and straight, the glaze is soft, and the glaze color is as green as jade. It perfectly combines practicality and artistry, and is loved by the people of the time.

Since the Tang Dynasty, my country's economic development has moved southward.

However, since the Song Dynasty, wars and turmoil in the north have continued, and Sichuan Province has become a veritable land of abundance, with a developed economy and far away from wars.

However, with the rise of the Mongol Empire in the northern grasslands, Sichuan Province became the focus of contention between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty.

The war continued for nearly 30 years. During this period, many wealthy merchants and dignitaries took it from Sichuan Province to the Three Gorges and flowed down to the south of the Yangtze River.

It is inconvenient to carry bulky and fragile items such as porcelain when fleeing. In this period of chaos, buried Song Dynasty cellars have become a common phenomenon in this special period.

At the time of the Song-Mongolian War, the Mongolian cavalry marched south, and the Southern Song Dynasty resisted for more than half a century.

As soon as the war started, the soldiers passed like a grate.

At that time, if you ran into a Mongolian soldier, you would almost die.

Therefore, ordinary people and even officials and eunuchs at that time often buried their treasures in the ground to hide, and then fled with their families.

Some families survived, and some people took out the wealth buried before.

But some families, after burying the treasures, the whole family is destroyed.
