Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 572 "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers"

After loading a dozen or so pieces of porcelain into the car, after closing the car door and several people walked towards the market again, Old Chai asked Zhou Zhi, "Is the bird food jar special?"

"Well, although the utensils are small, they are good things, Qianlong's."

"There's no money here, why did you see Qianlong?" Old Chai was startled, then cupped his hands at Zhou Zhi again, and said with a smile, "I'm so honored to have received such a generous gift from my brother."

"The characteristic of pastels is that glass white is added to the material, and the color is applied using the boneless painting technique of Chinese painting. The shade and level of the color can be increased or decreased at will. It can draw rich color levels, soft colors, obvious transition effects, and three-dimensional Strong sense, can fully reflect the depth of the object and the theme of yin and yang.”

"The reason why it is said to be Qianlong is because the raw materials used in pastels, in addition to the ancient colors, also created several colors, such as carmine, Qiang red, foreign green, foreign white, etc."

"Among them, carmine and Qiangshui red are all made of red gold and crystal materials; the colors of foreign green, carmine, foreign white, and emerald are all made of nitrate powder, stone powder, and borax."

"Porcelain with these kinds of colored materials is undoubtedly the third generation of Qing Dynasty."

"Among the three generations of famille roses, there are also their own characteristics. "Tao Ya" says: "Kang kiln is rich in blue and green, so it is hard color, and Yongzheng is light and beautiful. It has powder, and its non-powder also belongs to the pastel color." His quality is light.' "Yinliu Zhai Shuo Porcelain" said: "Kangxi hard color, Yongzheng soft color. Hard color is said to be very thick, and the glaze foil is slightly raised; soft color is also called pastel. , it is said that the color is deep and powdery, the hard color is luxurious and deep, and the pastel color is gorgeous and elegant.'”

"It is not difficult to see that the red and green colors of Kangxi's five colors are very thick, so they are called hard colors, and Yongzheng pastels are powdery and even, light and beautiful, so they are called soft colors."

"Although Kang Kiln also has famille rose wares, the overall color is still rich and colorful, not as elegant as the Yongzheng period."

"In Qianlong, pastels became the mainstream of colored porcelain. In addition to white ground pastels, pastel porcelains of various ground colors, such as bean green ground, red ground, yellow ground, blue ground, green ground, carmine ground, wood grain Glazed ground and broken grain ground have become popular styles. This is the gorgeous style inherited from Qianlong famille rose porcelain from copper enamel wares."

"The most popular of these is the low-temperature green glaze applied to the inside of the vessel, and sometimes to the bottom of the vessel. The jargon is called 'green pastels', also known as "green vessels."

"Because the Lvli odd wares are very popular, they were imitated in large numbers from Jiaqing to the Republic of China, and some were even repainted and refired with Qianlong white porcelain, which is very confusing."

"However, the green color of the real Qianlong Lvliware is light and yellowish, with small cracked lines on the surface, which is commonly known as 'orange peel pattern'. The combination of fetal glaze is very firm. And it rarely peels off. The green is deep and deep, and peeling is more common."

"Compared with Yongzheng pastels, Qianlong pastels have changed from elegant and elegant to rich and luxurious on large pieces. However, on some small pieces, the style of decoration continues to inherit the flower patterns of the Yongzheng period, including cross-branch flower patterns and A small amount of ink and color landscape paintings, etc., still maintain an elegant and quiet style."

"These three small pots have all the above characteristics. The green lining is covered with powder glaze and the outline of the decoration is drawn with gold lines, and the rim is painted with gold."

"This is a characteristic of Qianlong famille roses, so although the three bird food jars are small, they are small and fine."

"It means that the boss doesn't know the goods, so let us pick them up for nothing."

"If this is the official kiln wares of Qianlong famille rose, then it will be a big profit!" The interest of the three old men suddenly became high, and Lao Li said with a smile: "If it doesn't change hands, it will be worth three or four hundred?"

"In fact, it's better as a specimen. I often take it out to figure it out, and I will have an intuitive impression of this category of porcelain in the future." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Thank you for bringing me here to play, it's not a respect, I just chose these few gadgets As a small gift."

"Those blue and white pieces are the big leaks, right?" Lao Chai said, "Thick body and fat glaze, exquisite workmanship, but it's a pity that I don't have money, so I dare not do it. What do you think of the elbows?"

"I'll have to go back and talk about it slowly, but it's definitely a good thing. I'll find a place to read and talk about it later." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's serious to continue shopping now!"

"That's right, that's right..." Old Chai laughed and said, "Anyway, things can't run away here, so wait until dawn to find a place, and you can go to class with us again!"

It should be said that in 20, there were still many real things in the second-hand literature and entertainment market, such as leader badges, quotation chapters, red treasure books, etc., which will become rare in another [-] years. Now there are countless .

In addition, there are many characteristic bamboo and wooden wares in central Sichuan, especially golden nanmu objects, and they are of the same level as camphor wood, green gangwood, and old nanmu bamboo wares, and there is no special treatment.

There are also a lot of monochromatic glazed porcelain, but due to the limitations of buyers and sellers today, good and bad are uneven and difficult to distinguish, just like the pomegranate statue that was missed before, resulting in extremely low prices.

However, this category is very wide. Counting from the original celadon of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, we know that the lime glaze of the earthen kiln in the later generations is actually a monochrome glaze, and the large technological process from tire curing to glazing and firing is basically the same. Experts have to focus on this.

Zhou Zhi didn't have this problem, because there were too many fragments of Han pottery, Song porcelain, and Qing porcelain unearthed in Jiachuan, and he picked up a lot of them along the Yangtze River in Jiachuan.

However, the business of Wenwan does not mean that the older it is, the more valuable it is. It mainly depends on the degree of market acceptance and popularity.

For example, Qi Baishi's shrimps in the market are less than one thousand feet four and a half feet long, and Zhang Daqian, who is now internationally famous, has already painted more than [-] feet long.

Along the way, Zhou Zhi took another painting, which is the only recognized solitary copy of the painting of ladies in the Tang Dynasty in the world—a thick silk painting "The Picture of a Lady with Hairpin Flowers" painted by Zhou Fang in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, it can’t be the real one. The real one is in the LN Provincial Museum. The one that Zhou Zhi bought now was in [-] when the state organized a research project. Rongbaozhai “post-printed” it and reproduced it with woodblock watermarking technology. Engraved works on silk.

But this is also great. The most precious thing about woodblock watermarking is that it can reproduce the original work to the maximum extent, be faithful to the original work, and have a high level of reproduction, sometimes to the point where it is impossible to distinguish the original work from the copy.

And Rong Baozhai's works are among the best. Zhou Zhi's "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers" was copied by the state at that time, and it can be given to foreign friends as a national gift, and the standard is quite high.

But in this flea market, Zhou Zhi only spent 80 yuan and got it easily.

This is a gift for the fourth cousin and the fourth aunt. I believe the two elders will be very happy to see this "first-class authentic work" art treasure.
