Riding the wind of rebirth

"As for the late Qianlong period, it is even less so. Firstly, sauce glaze bottoms will not be used in the later period. Generally, official kilns use turquoise green, and private kilns simply do not use bottoms."

"Then there is the difference in the phenomenon of glaze flow."

"The glazing of the kiln must be very thick. Except for the best control of the Yongzheng Dynasty, the flow of glaze is inevitable after the Qianlong period."

"As I just said, Qianlong's requirements for kiln glaze are not as high as Yongzheng's, so as long as the flow of glaze does not exceed the bottom foot, he can accept it. For example, this apple statue is very rich in color, even if there are traces of flow glaze on the bottom, resulting in the glaze on the bottom of the statue. Layers form irregular accumulations, which is still a good thing, so it has been preserved."

"As for the kiln changing glaze after Qianlong, it is even more exaggerated. There are often adhesions between porcelain and kiln bowls caused by flowing glaze. The kiln workers knock them open with a hammer, and they can be finished after a little polishing. Finally, it is called "dog gnawing bottom". fetal foot."

"Hahahaha, this is too perfunctory..." Fei Guan laughed and said, "Fortunately, this thing is not, otherwise I would not be able to bear it even if I was Qianlong!"

"In the later period, there were some people who pretended to be official kiln wares with wax paint." Zhou Zhi said, "Fortunately, this one is not."

After speaking, he looked at the Yang family father and son who could not hide their eagerness: "Today's situation is special. We have to take care of Master Yang's face and cannot lower the price as hard as we usually do."

"Of course, we shouldn't be too indebted to us. After all, just looking for a few people here to do the appraisal, the appraisal fee is not a small expense."

After Yang Dequan and Yang's father and son agreed with this statement, Zhou Zhi continued: "So I suggest that we appraise the things in this house for free today, and the price we offer is the internal price when we adjust each other in the industry. Selling it all depends on what the two Teachers Yang mean. We can't do business, but the favor is still there."

"Then what is the 'internal price' that Mr. Zhou mentioned for this small pot?" Yang Ting asked carefully.

"A kiln-glazed apple statue of this size, if we communicate internally, can we get it at Gongmei Liuwan?" Zhou Zhi asked Fei Guan: "Uncle Fei, is it about the same?"

"Maybe even lower, about [-] to [-]." Fei Guan said, "It's only about [-] centimeters, it's too small."

"It's still [-]." Zhou Zhi said to Yang Shangqiu and his son: "If you agree to give it to me, I can take it and pair it with the Kangxi pomegranate statue at home."

In more than 20 years, the auction price of such glazed porcelain from the third generation kilns of the Qing Dynasty will generally be more than 400 million. Divided by the increase of a hundred times, the price given by Fei Guan will be truly reasonable. This is already a lack of Jun kiln thoughts. , plus the desire to get along with the Pomegranate Lord, and for the sake of Master Yang, I gave it up.

"Sell!" Yang Ting exchanged glances with his father and Yang Dequan, and immediately agreed: "They are all Aunt Yang's friends, so let's stop shouting and asking for more, and just use the internal exchange price."

In fact, they were already overjoyed. It was not like they had never asked someone to take a look before, but they only offered five thousand at most, so they still covered everything in the house.

The key is that I almost agreed at that time, and now I only carry a small jar worth [-] yuan. Thinking about it, I am really surprised and happy.

According to Mr. Xiao Zhou, they only give the lowest price, but if they don't come, even if they know the lowest price of these things, can they find honest buyers?
And now that several deals have been made, rumors will spread sooner or later. If the rest of the deal is not adjusted in time, no one can rest assured. What will happen next can also be guessed.

Both father and son are not stupid people, and sometimes it is easy to take advantage of a disadvantage, which is not unreasonable.

The matter was thus agreed upon, and the next step was appraisal and pricing.

This is actually not the same thing as looking for a house, but Lin Wanqiu is still very happy. This way of finding ancient handicrafts is very different from her previous way, and she enjoyed it happily.

Lin Wanqiu and the others usually search for houses, but they are all well-known overseas collectors. The items of those collectors basically have the ins and outs, and there are also important exhibitions over the years as references. There are not many times when they need to test their eyesight.

But it is different in China. Ouyang Youhe has a lot of things, but the ages are different. When the house was raided, there was a package meeting. Now I have returned it all. There are everything in it, a lot of bottles and cans. Some of the pots are real antiques, some are daily-use folk kiln wares, and some are even antique fakes that Ouyang Youhe himself drilled.

In addition, the categories of things are also miscellaneous, including porcelain, calligraphy and painting, pen holders, paperweights, inkstones, water drops, and other kinds of writing rooms, as well as kettles, smoke cages, ornamental stones, bird cages, bracelets, finger rings, pipes, and many other miscellaneous items.

The most amazing thing is that there is also a box of women's ready-made clothes in the late Qing Dynasty, all of which are exquisitely woven and embroidered. In addition, it also includes shawls, aprons, embroidered shoes and other things.

Pressed on top of these ready-made garments, there is also a stitching box with gorgeous patterns and exquisite padding.

Lin Wanqiu immediately put aside the porcelain being appraised and took out the box: "This is interesting."

"This one is really good." Zhou Zhi nodded, "It's a good item."

"This is lacquer carving." Fei Guan also finally had the right to speak: "There is a box and a cover, and it is quite complete."

"Among the ancient folk practical handicrafts, carved lacquer is considered to be a well-preserved category." Zhou Zhi said.

"That's it," Zhang Cheng said with a smile, "They are all used on the Kangtou table, and they are padded with cloth, so they won't break if dropped once or twice. It's not easy to change money like metal and jade wares. They are practical, inexpensive and beautiful. They can be used as dowry." They can all be handed out, so they are better handed down to the world.”

"However, after the Qing Dynasty, people preferred picking red, and there were fewer people picking rhinoceros like this." Zhou Zhi said.

"Yes, the craftsmanship of ticking red and ticking rhinoceros is actually similar, but ticking red is more popular and festive, and ticking rhinoceros is more simple and naive. As a thing for women, ticking red lacquer carving is more popular."

Picking red and picking rhinoceros are both traditional Chinese lacquer carvings. The method is to first wrap the wooden body with sackcloth and brush the mortar to make the inner tube, and then paint the lacquer continuously. After it is dried in the paint room, it is taken out and polished smooth. Brush on the second coat.

This is repeated layer by layer. After the paint layer has accumulated to a certain thickness, various patterns and themes are carved on it with a carving knife, and then polished to a bright finish.

Lacquer carving handicrafts have the characteristics of not being afraid of water, corrosion resistance, friction resistance, high temperature resistance, brighter and more beautiful as they are used, and are especially loved by ancient families in China.

The difference between red-tickling and rhinoceros-tickling is that the paint layer painted with red-tickling is all bright red, and the carving themes are complex and wide-ranging, such as drama characters, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, and the creative themes are very rich.

And ticking rhinoceros is two kinds of paint materials, red and black, or even three kinds of paints are used in turn. Compared with ticking red, the color is richer, but the pattern is simple and simple. The simple, smooth and generous lines are generally the moire and palindrome on the antique bronzes. Because the section of the knife edge will reveal different colors of lacquer layers, which are very similar to the texture effect of the layers of the rhinoceros horn cross section, so it is named "tick". rhinoceros".

Huang Cheng of the Ming Dynasty recorded in "Painting and Decoration Records": "The carved rhinoceros has a vermillion face, a black face, and a transparent purple face. There may be vermilion lines between black, or black belts between red, or it may be covered with carved tattoos, or the three colors may change. .The writings are all about sword rings, ribbon rings, heavy circles, palindrome cloud hooks, etc."

Then I added a sentence: "Pure Zhu is not good." It marks the evolution of popularity over hundreds of years.
