Chapter 999 A Legend

The moon-holding bottle is also known as the "treasure moon bottle". Its shape originated from the Song and Yuan Dynasties and was popular among ethnic minorities.

There is a tie on the left and right shoulders of the bottle, which is used to hang on the side of the saddle, which is very ethnic.

During the Ming Dynasty, blue and white flowers were mostly used as decorations. Combined with the unique charm of the moon-holding vase, the color and the shape of the vessel were perfectly integrated, making it a utensil for display.

The moon-holding vase was the most famous in the Yongxuan period, among which the garlic-mouthed moon-holding vase was imitated in the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties.

Emperor Qianlong loved it even more, so the moon-holding vase became one of the important display porcelains of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

There are a large number of official kilns and folk kilns, and their shapes and patterns are constantly innovating and changing, showing splendor.

The moon-holding vase made by Chen Wenzhe is large in size, good in color, and classic in distress. Even if he were to appraise it now, he would not be able to find any flaws.

This is something that can't be helped, because he has dealt with all the flaws he can think of.

Look at the olive bottle next to it, the pastel olive bottle, it should not be much, but it is not nothing.

At the beginning, Chen Wenzhe did not go out of his way, but made the only piece of celadon porcelain.

It turned out that the most he made was celadon porcelain, and it was not difficult to make celadon olive vases.

Of course, since he has done it, it is also a test and practice, so he will not simply make a piece of Longquan celadon.

So this time he made bean-green glazed porcelain, which he seldom made in the past.

This time, making a single piece of bean-green glazed porcelain must be a joy to see Liexin, and the olive bottle made must also belong to the pinnacle of the times.

This is also something that can't be helped. No matter in which aspect, the Qing Dynasty has developed to the peak of all dynasties.

Let’s talk about celadon porcelain, in which the celadon is made of iron as the colorant and fired in a reducing flame.

This traditional high-temperature glaze is the earliest glaze in the history of Chinese ceramics.

And celadon porcelain has always been the main product of Chinese porcelain, which has gone through the Eastern Han Dynasty, Six Dynasties, Tang, Song, Yuan, and continued until Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Jingzhen kilns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties inherited the excellent level of Longquan celadon and fired various celadon porcelains of different shades.

But it was not until the Yongzheng period that the level of uniform color and stable firing was reached.

Qianlong Celadon has inherited the outstanding style of the Yongzheng period, and has become more sophisticated and stable, comparable to the famous Song kilns.

Therefore, this time it is not so much an imitation of Qianlong celadon porcelain, but a self-examination by Chen Wenzhe to see how his production level compares with Qianlong celadon porcelain.

Looking at the bean-green glazed olive bottle in his hand, Chen Wenzhe was quite satisfied.

This bottle has a sloppy mouth, a short neck, shoulders and neck retracted, a slightly bulging abdomen, and outwardly curled feet.

The size of the mouth and the bottom are similar, and the body of the bottle is like an olive, hence the name.

Olive vases were fired in the Qing Dynasty, most commonly during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, with a slight change in shape, with a slightly longer neck, well-proportioned and beautiful.

It can be divided into plain body and melon edge type, which is a popular type in Qing Dynasty.

This bottle is in the melon edge style, which highlights the streamline of the bottle body curve, which is smooth and natural, adding elegance and elegance.

The celadon glaze is mellow in color, even and smooth, and as greasy as agar, no matter in terms of visual and tactile senses, it is almost as real as jade. This level of craftsmanship is unprecedentedly superb.

This kind of real jade texture is what Chen Wenzhe has been pursuing.

As long as it is made of celadon, there is no desire to make it like this.

Of course, the artistic taste of this olive bottle is also extremely high. It not only highlights the pure beauty of the monochromatic enamel, but also the green glaze fluctuates with the edges of the melon, which enhances the sense of rhythm and is full of changes.

As long as this kind of porcelain enters the market, it is absolutely impossible to be [-] to [-] million.

After careful inspection bit by bit, Chen Wenzhe put it down with satisfaction after not finding any flaws.

Putting down this bottle, Chen Wenzhe immediately picked up another one. This one is even more special because it is a pastel olive bottle.

In order to make this bottle, Chen Wenzhe really put his heart into it.

And why make such a bottle?Is it just because it's worth the money?

No, compared to the bean green glaze olive bottle just now, this pastel olive bottle is obviously more beautiful, and the craftsmanship is more exquisite.

But this is not the reason why Chen Wenzhe imitated this bottle. The reason why he imitated it is mainly because it is a legend.

It's just that this legend is not a work of the Qianlong period, but a classic of the Yongzheng period.

This bottle has a curled mouth, a long neck, sloping shoulders, a bulging belly, and round feet.

It looks like a salan, so it is also an "olive bottle".

This is a famille rose olive vase with bat and peach patterns. The authentic product was produced in the Jingzhen official kiln in Yongzheng, representing the superb production level of famille rose in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Of course, these are not the point.

Official potters in the Qing Dynasty invented pastels on the basis of Kangxi colorful porcelain.

It is said that Emperor Yongzheng had a special liking for famille rose, so the craftsmen at that time were very particular about the shape, color and line production of famille rose porcelain, thus achieving the glory of "Yongzheng famille rose".

The body of this treasure vase is painted with eight peaches and two bats in famille rose, because peaches symbolize "longevity" and bats are a homonym for "blessing", implying both happiness and longevity.

And that authentic vase is said to be used by emperors, queens and concubines for birthday celebrations.

It is considered by many people to be the only one in the world. Many well-known experts in China directly claim that this is the only such porcelain vase in the world, which can be called peerless.

Just in 2002, at the Forbes Spring Auction in Jiangsu, Hong Kong, its transaction price reached 4150 million Hong Kong dollars, which was the highest price in the Qing Dynasty porcelain market at that time.

You have to know that its condition is not very good, because it has not been well preserved at all!

This piece of national treasure porcelain has been used as a desk lamp for hundreds of years. How could it be in good condition?
It is a sad vase that was transformed into a desk lamp by foreigners!
Even so, after twenty years, the price of the only piece of porcelain in the world can be doubled or tripled.

In other words, this piece of porcelain can easily be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.

This is also a no-brainer, after all, pastel olive bottles are too rare.

Of course, it's not just olive bottles, even bottles were very rare in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

You have a hard time thinking about it, don't you?Among the so-called porcelains of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, which have long been famous for a long time, it is difficult to see bottles in the Yongzheng period?
Whether it is pastel or blue and white, it was very rare in the Yongzheng period, so every time one appeared, it was often sold at a sky-high price.

There are so many unimaginable things, this is the truth.

A hundred years ago, Huaxia experienced the war years of the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the invasion of foreign enemies.

In the precarious years, some treasures of porcelain were buried in the flames of war, while others were scattered among the people or overseas.

Among them, Yongzheng official kiln famille rose porcelain is rarely handed down from generation to generation, and vase works are extremely rare.

Therefore, before 2002, the famille rose official kiln vases, known as the "culmination" of the Yongzheng period, became a missing link in the history of Chinese ceramics.

According to historical records, Jingzhen once produced "pastel olive vases", but no one has seen them with their own eyes.
