My system is not decent

Chapter 1847 Tell me how much it is

This five-color flower-shaped gold bowl is 8.3 cm high, 17 cm in diameter, and 5.7 cm in foot diameter.

Open mouth, deep abdomen, short ring feet, no glaze inside the bottom feet, and a water chestnut-like protrusion in the bottom center.

The body color is white, the glaze color is clear, and the inside and outside are full of glaze, which is a typical privy kiln.

The inner mouth of the bowl is decorated with a circle of honeysuckle patterns and dark patterns, and the center of the bowl is decorated with a Sanskrit character on the interior of the persimmon stem pattern.

There is an arc pattern along the outer edge of the bowl, and it is decorated with dark water ripples, and the lower part of the outer abdomen is decorated with lotus petal patterns and eight treasure patterns.

The glaze color of this bowl is clear, and the inside and outside are covered with glaze. The decoration is outlined by purple, blue, malachite green and enamel glaze, and the middle is decorated with gold flakes.

The body of the bowl is exquisite, the color is white and pure, and the underglaze printing is finely depicted, which is undoubtedly the top quality of Privy porcelain.

Among the five-color decorations on the glaze, in addition to combining traditional decorations, there are also many exotic decorations and multiculturalism, which is a very distinctive feature of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.

The decoration style of this bowl combines many elements of Han culture in the Central Plains, Buddhist culture in Tibet and Central Asian culture in the Western Regions.

The white style of porcelain itself comes from the preference of Mongolian nobles.

First of all, the lotus petal pattern and miscellaneous treasure pattern on the outer wall of the bowl represent the classic characteristics of Tibetan Buddhism, which first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty and became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

There are many images of treasures. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were double horns, silver ingots, rhinoceros horns, fire beads, flames, fire wheels, snails, corals, and double coins.

In the Ming Dynasty, auspicious clouds, Ganoderma lucidum, Fangsheng, mugwort leaves, scrolls, pens, Xin, tripods, gourds, etc. were added.

Because it has not yet formed a formula, it can be used arbitrarily, so it is called miscellaneous treasures.

The miscellaneous treasure patterns on this large bowl can be compared with many contemporary blue and white utensils.

In addition, Sanskrit characters are written in blue color in the bowl heart consecration, which is the "seed character" of Fudo Myoko.

In Esoteric Buddhism, the seed character represents the Sanskrit character of the mantra spoken by Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and other venerables.

Each Buddha or Bodhisattva has its own special enlightenment, or Dharma door, and each Buddhist deity has a "seed word".

It is the "seed" that gives rise to a deity, and when a mantra practitioner practices the "yidam method", he usually contemplates emptiness first.

Then the foundation and the lotus seat appear in the emptiness, and then watch the seed characters arise on the lotus seat and become the deity, so that all the merits of the deity can be displayed.

And "seed character" can generate many characters from one word, so it is "seed".

It has the effect of leading the true words and deeds to show their merits and get into their nature.

Without this word, it is impossible for those who speak the truth to hear the merits and virtues of the venerables and set their minds to practice.

The Fudo Ming King is regarded as the wrathful incarnation of Vairocana Buddha, and is the highest among the Ming Kings.

It has a high reputation in Chinese and Tibetan Buddhism, and it is the three main Buddha statues together with Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The whole body of Fudo Mingwang is blue, so the seed characters are also expressed in blue.

King Ming holds the Wisdom Sword in his right hand, with flames all over his body, showing people in an angry image, which means that exorcising demons and killing ghosts is always going forward.

It can be seen that this large bowl is not only a royal porcelain handicraft of the Yuan Dynasty with extraordinary craftsmanship, but also a vessel with special significance for the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty to worship Buddha, and its status is even more noble.

The remaining lines and ornamentation and gold-filling techniques reflect cultural influences from Central Asia.

Persian-Arabic art is based on geometric abstraction of curved patterns.

They absorbed and carried forward the curvilinear style of the palm leaf scroll pattern in Egypt and the symbolism of Sasanian Persian patterns.

It has formed a unique decoration style characterized by continuous curves, symmetrical geometric patterns, and continuous repetition.

It pays attention to the symmetry of lines and the precise mathematical proportion of geometric patterns, giving people a continuous and complex and exquisite texture.

On the outer wall of this large bowl, the blue glaze color lines outlined in continuous arcs are quite different from the straight single-string and double-string patterns used in traditional Chinese porcelain decoration.

This kind of decoration has distinct artistic characteristics of Central Asia, and the continuous arcs form a silhouette similar to the pointed buildings in the traditional architecture of Yisi in Central Asia.

On each downward point, there is also a floral pattern pendant.

This plant flower, similar to lily-of-the-valley or begonia, appears in large numbers in Persian-Aber-Issian art.

This kind of flower appears repeatedly as a classic pendant on cultural relics such as the Central Asian Sogdian-style goat pattern cup neck ornament and the central dome trim of the Great Mosque of Cordoba in the Great Russian Hermitage Museum.

The particular ornamentation used on this bowl shows the fruit of mutual exchanges and influences in the artistic fields over a period of time.

Of course, this is to add new elements to the traditional ceramic art of our country, showing a broader artistic expression.

This is a bold attempt and successful innovation, which has made a useful exploration for the development of colored porcelain in later generations.

Such a bowl must be a national treasure.

Although it is incomparable with some heavy treasures, but its quantity is really small, even much less than the Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup.

Such a treasure, Chen Wenzhe really did not expect to meet it on the streets of Yangluo.

And the asking price is not too high, because people who don't understand it may think it is a modern high imitation, because it is so beautiful and looks too new.

"Boss, how do you sell this small bowl?"

When you are optimistic about something, it is natural to hold it in your hand first, and then ask the price.

"This small multicolored bowl is not simple. Look at the gold painting on it. It is definitely a royal item."

The boss is a young man. Seeing his eyes constantly rolling around, he should be a very lively standard businessman.

Chen Wenzhe didn't feel much about his self-promotion, because he had seen it a lot.

"Let's just say how much it is. Nowadays, there are many handicrafts painted with gold. This is just a piece of ornamental porcelain. If it is used for eating dishes, I am afraid that the heavy metals will exceed the standard!"

Chen Wenzhe is very familiar with some of the current porcelain, especially the porcelain that sells for ten or a few dollars. If the porcelain is beautifully made, one should be careful.

Especially those with gold painting on the edge, or the inside of the plate and bowl with multicolored, blue and white, gold painting, etc., you need to be careful, because these must be done later.

If it is used to serve vegetables and eat, the temperature is slightly higher, and the toxic substances inside those materials will definitely dissociate and pollute the food.

When Chen Wenzhe said this, the young boss knew that he was an expert, so he said directly: "This is also an antique, and it has the characteristics of the early Ming Dynasty, and the price is very expensive."

"Boss, just bid directly and see if I can accept it. If not, I'll go to another store to have a look."

"This is a five-color gold-painted bowl from Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. The minimum asking price is 20." The young boss gritted his teeth and said.

Chen Wenzhe looked a little funny, and the boss also found out.

He was a little frustrated and said: "I'm not asking for the price indiscriminately. These are really good things, but they look too new, but they are really antiques. Look at the craftsmanship, can imitations do this?"

Chen Wenzhe was taken aback, they?How much more of this kind of porcelain can there be?

"Boss, you are not being kind. The craftsmanship of this bowl is good, but 20 yuan is too expensive. Even if it is Hongwu Wucai, it won't be so expensive, right? I can give you 20 yuan, unless you can get it." Come out with four porcelains of the same craftsmanship."
