Chapter 514 Shortcuts

Chapter 514 Shortcuts
"So this is the blue and white magnified celestial ball vase imitated in the Republic of China. However, due to the lack of experience of the craftsmen, the shape and pattern of the vessel and pattern of the Banana Leaf Tuanlong Tianqiu vase were used in Tongguang. The blue and white factory materials are hand-painted, which is not bad fine."

"The base payment was the one used by Qianlong when he imitated Yongle blue and white flowers, but the tire red was used in the Republic of China when he imitated the blue and white flowers of Ming and Qing Dynasties, but he forgot that there was no such thing as fetal red at the bottom of Qianlong official kiln porcelain. Typical traits."

After Zhou Zhi finished speaking, he turned the bottle again: "Actually, if the artist who made this bottle had more knowledge, and really followed the one-to-one reproduction of the painting of the Yongle blue-and-white cloud-dragon pattern celestial ball vase, at least the artist could pass the test, and the bottle would still have some value. "

"However, it seems that the craftsmanship of this craftsman is indeed that of a master. He has never seen a real Yongle Tianqiu vase in his life, and he has never even seen a Yongle Tianqiu vase imitated by Qianlong, so he has to invent it based on the Tongguang Tianqiu vase."

"Considering the knowledge of the craftsmen at that time, speaking from conscience, it's pretty good that they can imitate to this level..."

He was talking happily there, but the middle-aged man next to him turned red and pale.

The other two listened for a while, but their confidence in Zhou Zhi's appreciation ability doubled: "Little brother, can you tell us..."

Zhou Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not a teacher of Gongmei either, I'm also here to ship..."

"Wait!" The middle-aged man who owns the celestial ball bottle yelled loudly, startled a few people, and then coughed: "Ahem, this little brother... ah Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou, I am also a fan of ancient porcelain Readers, this... especially likes to study blue and white, um... I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to introduce the method, where is the best place to start for beginners..."

"Huh?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded: "Of course it's more about seeing more about learning..."

"Of course we know this..." The middle-aged man said: "I want to ask, besides watching more and learning more, is there any shortcut, such as the blue and white fetal color of the past dynasties you just mentioned..."

"Is that so?" Zhou Zhi pondered for a while, "There really is a shortcut."

"I don't know Teacher Zhou..." The middle-aged man salivated: "I don't know if Teacher Zhou can... teach us?"

"It's not called teaching, let's share experiences." Zhou Zhi opened the picture album just now: "I remember there is a picture in this book..."

"Here, the Ming Yongle blue and white banana bamboo stone map jade pot spring bottle, the highest achievement of the Ming Dynasty Yongle classics, this gentleman should know this bottle?"

Nonsense, if Zhou Zhi didn't know about this artifact, he wouldn't think he would be a blue and white lover.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man nodded: "Of course I know."

"This handed down vessel is very perfect. The shape of the whole vessel is upright and handsome, the texture of the body is fine, and the glaze is smooth and shiny." Zhou Zhi began to explain with a high-definition picture of the bottle: "The outer wall of the bottle is decorated with blue and white flowers. The color of the blue and white flowers is stable, and the color is elegant and clear. .”

"The neck is decorated with three weeks of patterns, which are banana leaves, curly grass, and wishful cloud heads in turn; the abdomen is decorated with blue and white banana bamboo and stone patterns, surrounded by railings. People are in a quiet environment like ink sketch paintings, which is very interesting."

"Near the foot is a variant lotus petal pattern that was common in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and a circle of patterns around the foot wall."

"The porcelain craftsmen are skilled in brushwork, the composition is clear and appropriate, the decoration layout is rich in layers, and the painting is delicate. It is a representative work of extremely high artistic achievements since the birth of blue and white porcelain."

"Because of this, it has become an unavoidable item in the display porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has been loved by the emperors of all dynasties, and it has also attracted the re-engraving and imitation firing of official kilns of all dynasties."

"The imitation of this bottle in the Qing court was first seen in the Yongzheng period, but it was only for the sake of imitation, so it was not signed."

"Qianlong succeeded him, so he wrote the year title of this dynasty in seal script."

"Both the official kilns of the Houjia and Daoli dynasties were fired, and they were also the year names of this dynasty, and gradually changed from seal script to regular script."

"Because the size of the utensils is not large, it is not particularly difficult to make imitations. The firings of all dynasties are considered successful. Therefore, from Yongle in the Ming Dynasty to Hongxian in the Republic of China, the blue and white plantains, bamboo and stone pictures, jade pots and spring vases have basically become the most important works of all dynasties. Blue and white porcelain is the highest achievement among official kiln wares."

"The same shape and similar patterns have very strong characteristics of the times and reference contrast. By studying these bottles, we can quickly grasp the general characteristics of blue and white porcelain in various periods."

"To study blue and white, I think this is a way."

"Of course, blue-and-white porcelain is one of the most popular types of porcelain among the Chinese people. There are many kinds of wares. The firing time also lasted from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties to the present. It is a university question, not a few jade pots. Chun Ping will be very poor."

"Old Xu, Old Xu!" The middle-aged man was so itchy to hear, he poked Xu Gong on the other side who was listening engrossed: "Do you have pictures of these utensils that Teacher Xiao Zhou mentioned?"

"Ah? Ah, there should be all of them, but I don't know which books are in them."

"I know that," Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Let me write a list for you."

"That's the best relationship!" The middle-aged man is very happy now, and he probably didn't spend a lot of money to find the bottle of the Republic of China before.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all ready-made here, so Zhou Zhi went to a piece of rice paper and copied down the book list with a small script brush.

"Thank you, Teacher Xiao Zhou." The middle-aged man took the list, and bowed his hands to Zhou Zhi repeatedly, with an air of arrogance and respect.

"Now it's our turn..." The other two men became anxious.

Mr. Zhang coughed softly: "You guys are a little unreasonable. The day after tomorrow, Gongmei will hold a public auction appraisal meeting in the cultural park, and it will naturally help you appraise the antiques in your hand for free. Why did you come here early? Woolen cloth?"

"Isn't there still a long queue..." A man muttered: "Anyway, there is no one now, and we have bought several things in Gongmei. Can this small favor help?"

"Yes, yes," another man echoed, "Besides, this little brother is not an artisan, he just borrowed a place..."

Zhou Zhi somewhat understood that the appreciation ability of these two people was probably not as good as that of the middle-aged man just now, and they belonged to the kind of "people who are addicted to vegetables".

"That's not an example!" Mr. Zhang finally agreed: "Lao Wang, Lao Li, I'm not talking about you. If you are not capable enough, you should avoid shaking outside to pick up leaks. What you pick up are briquettes that have just come out of the furnace, full of pits. Still hot!"

The bald man named Old Wang said: "This time, I really decided to strike..."

"When did you not say that?!"

"Look at things, let Mr. Zhou look at things..."

The two of them opened the bag, and it happened that the items were all ceramics that Zhou Zhi was familiar with. It should be said that the probability of looking for simple antiques in these years is still quite high. What the old Wang brought out was a longquan kiln dark flower blue glaze wrapped branch flower The plate belongs to the more delicate and characteristic folk kiln wares of the Ming Dynasty, and it inherits the fine work of the Longquan kiln export porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.

And Lao Li's utensils are very exquisitely made, and Zhou Zhi is also very interested in it. It is a small reward bottle for offering sacrifices.
