Baolu Tianxing

"Cough, old man, can we not be in a daze?"

Kong Si really couldn't stand it anymore, so he reminded at the right time, if the old and the young should be stunned, I'm afraid that he and Xu Shaodong will be suffocated to death!

"Okay!" Elder Tian came back to his senses, hehe hehe smiled at himself, he had already made up his mind, and asked, "Have you ever met Brother Liu?"

Xu Shaodong had called Mr. Liu just now and said he would visit him later.After hearing this, Mr. Tian didn't let them wait any longer. He went in and changed clothes, and the group went out to Mr. Liu's residence.

Originally, Wu Chen wanted Mr. Tian to identify the two utensils in his hand first, but Mr. Tian would talk about it when he got to Brother Liu.

When they arrived at Zunlong Mansion, it was still Boss Tie who greeted them.

After going through so much, Wu Chen looked at Boss Tie's half-inch hair again, and felt that this guy was unusual. He still remembered the scene when Kong Si shook hands with him last time.

However, after seeing Kong Si's skills, he dare not think so again. In his impression, it seems that there is no one who can draw with Kong Si, and this unattractive man in front of him can actually make Kong Si suffer a dark loss. What kind of existence must this be.

After entering, Mr. Liu was waiting for them in the living room. He had just punched a set. He looked ruddy and in good spirits. He laughed and went back to his seat in front of Mr. Tian, ​​followed by several juniors.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Shaodong also reported the recent situation to Mr. Liu. He planned to stay with Mr. Liu for a few days. To deal with it, of course, the most important thing is to find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Liu about Wu Chen's affairs, and persuade him to accept apprentices. This is the biggest goal of his trip.

"Okay! Very good!" After listening to Mr. Liu, he looked at them with a smile. An old friend of his just came back from the conference and passed by Guangfu. It's about Wu Chen and the Xu family's two boys, and there's a lot of praise for what's inside and outside.

You know, although this old friend is a woman, she is one of the top figures in the Jewelry Association, and the young man in the family is even more powerful, and there are not many young people who can catch her eyes, let alone this hard-working praise .

When Veteran Liu told her about the Tiansheng Bronze Man last time, the two of them admired her even more. They are both high-ranking officials in this country and they love this job. Naturally, they highly appreciated Wu Chen's righteous deed.

Wu Chen was still ignorant. When Xu Shaodong was talking about it, he looked at the room full of furnishings, and secretly compared the differences with his own room. He didn't wake up until Mr. Liu said good-bye angrily. Come on.

After a few people gossiped, Mr. Liu asked them if they had gained anything else. He had seen Wu Chen and the others bring the box in a long time ago.

Xu Shaodong immediately shouted exaggeratedly, his tone was a little annoyed, the wood kept picking leaks, and everyone was still alive.After speaking, they fiddled with Wu Chen to take out the things, but they hadn't seen them either.

"Please take a look at the two old men." After getting acquainted with these two old men, Wu Chen didn't pretend to be pretentious, and took out a bowl and a painting and put them on the case.

The painting is rolled, and everyone will see the small bowl at first sight. At this time, the sun is shining outside, and the room is full of light. Even under natural light, the faint light red, even and delicate, can be seen all at once. Attracted everyone's attention.

Looking closer, there are natural stars and green moss scattered on the glaze, forming a natural and changing taste.

"Interesting! Second Xu, let me tell you." Mr. Liu had a smile on his face. He still had some confidence in Xu Shaodong's skill in porcelain, and he also intended to hone this young man for his old friend.

"What's the point? It's a one-eye item, cowpea red." Xu Shaodong said with a bit of sourness in his heart. He was a gambler. He never thought of comparing with Wu Chen, but this porcelain is his old profession, and he doesn't think Wu Chen His eyesight is better than his own, but he is a little sad, why this wood can always meet good objects, but he can't touch it.Not to mention anything else, it's this small bowl, if you let yourself see it, you won't miss it.

"Are you sure it's Lao Chao's?" Liu Lao looked at him with a smile, but the smile was a little weird, as if a child had lied and then waited for an adult to guess.

Wu Chen could only watch with joy in his heart, this old Liu is also full of childlike innocence, this is to trick a few juniors to play!He was not in a hurry, no matter what, they were all old objects, and definitely not new imitations, so he made up his mind and sat on the bench to watch.

Xu Shaodong looked suspicious, turned around and took out a pair of gloves from the side room, and then started to use them. He looked up, down, left, and right for a long time. That cautious look made Wu Chen a little ashamed. It seemed that he just used his hands directly. I grabbed it out of the box, and there are still my own paw prints on it!

Small bowl, ring foot, narrow foot ridge, fine and smooth tire texture, white glaze on the inside of the foot, and look at the outer bottom, blue and white regular script "Kangxi Years of the Qing Dynasty" six-line double-line style under the white glaze, what's the point? question?

Could it be that Liu is always lying to himself?Thinking of this, he gently put down the small bowl, turned to Old Liu and said, "I don't think there is any problem with this bowl."

"What do you think?" Elder Liu looked sideways at Wu Chen and Kong Si, and seeing that they nodded, he sighed and said, "Young man, you just don't want to put in the effort, Brother Tian, ​​why don't you give up?" Let them talk."

"A bunch of dead kids! They make such low-level mistakes!" Mr. Tian was not polite when he said it, but Wu Chen was fine. After all, he hadn't been in this industry for long, but Xu Shaodong and Kong Si were apprentices of the famous "Nan Tian Bei Ma" !It's embarrassing to say this!

"Have you ever seen the cowpea red bowl in Kangxi Dynasty?" Mr. Tian said slowly, his tone gradually became a little harsh, "Which one of you will talk about this cowpea red?"

Wu Chen didn't have any feelings for Kong Si yet. Wu Chen was a beginner, and Kong Si was just hanging around with Mr. Tian. Although he learned a lot here and there, he never worked hard. What's more, he already had an extremely strong heart, so he just smiled and passed.

However, hearing these words in Xu Shaodong's ears, it was like a thunderstorm, and cold sweat broke out, why didn't he even pay attention to this, this is really embarrassing to grandma's house!

Tian Lao’s words awakened the dreamer. You must know that the reason why cowpea red glaze is so valuable is that it is more difficult to make than Langyao red glaze, so there are no large utensils, the highest is only 24 cm, and the shape is also less than There are 10 types, most of which are small objects such as stationery or decorations, with exquisite craftsmanship.The famous "eight big yards" include chrysanthemum vases, willow-leaf vases, radish statues, dragon pans, washing, Taibai statues, apple statues, and printed boxes.

"Bowl?!" Xu Shaodong searched in his mind, but couldn't help being a little embarrassed because he didn't find any records about it.The shape of the utensil is also a very important feature in judging the age, and it is hard evidence. For example, if you hold a Taibai Zun, if you say it is Song Dynasty porcelain, it is bullying.

Of course, the shape of this small bowl did not exist in the Kangxi Dynasty, but it has never appeared in the traditional cowpea red shape.If it's a fight, that's another story.

It's not that Xu Shaodong doesn't know, it's just that under the agitation of his mood, he said it in a hurry without going into details. Now that he has learned the lesson, he feels a little bit self-pity.

Having said that, if it is another variety, even if it is not on the list, as long as there are no mistakes, you can still argue. After all, in which era did this type of utensil and glaze color exist? Maybe there is such a batch of products, but it is not made public. That's it, and if so, it's even more precious.

However, the cowpea red in the Kangxi Dynasty is the same as the Ru Kiln in the Song Dynasty. This possibility can basically be ruled out, because both of them were fired in the current dynasty and produced in small quantities. They are exclusively for the emperor's inner court. .

Is it an old imitation of Guangxu?

Cowpea red porcelain is a rare new variety of high-temperature copper red glaze derived from imitating the Yongle and Xuande red glazes of the Ming Dynasty by the Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Factory in the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is the most exquisite of all kinds of copper red glaze wares.

Kangxi cowpea red ware is rare, and its glaze method is also very special. It is neither dipping nor pouring glaze, but "blowing glaze".After Kangxi, the firing technique of cowpea red glaze was lost. Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties imitated it, but they were not successful. It was not until the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China that imitation products of Kangxi appeared.

It's no wonder that Xu Shaodong suddenly thought of the Guangxu period, and the old objects that only existed in these two eras are either one or the other!Not only him, but even Wu Chen and Kong Si thought the same way.

If it is an imitation product from the Guangxu period, the price will be lower than the old nose!You must know that although the imitations of this period look similar, compared with the fine products of the Kangxi Dynasty, they are much worse in quality and appearance. Loose, and the ornamentation is often too rigid.

Wu Chen, who was sighing secretly, raised his eyes and suddenly saw Mr. Liu and Mr. Tian, ​​who were secretly winking and smiling.With a heartbeat, it seems that it is not that simple, there must be something else hidden, these two old men are leading them into the ditch!

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder!Wu Chen looked at the small bowl again, carefully recollected the era corresponding to the light, and confirmed that it could not be from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, at least it was from the mid-Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Wu Chen kept winking at Xu Shaodong, but at this moment, this buddy lacked a bit of wit and was deep in thought.

Whether it is the system of Kangxi's "this dynasty", or the system of Guangxu and the Republic of China, or is it a modern imitation, there are a lot of details, and the counterfeiters have also racked their brains to install 'landmines' here.

Generally speaking, there are a few things worth noting, one is to judge its age from details such as the degree of oxidation of the bottom glaze; two is to look at the age characteristics of the porcelain fetal bone;Cowpea red in the official kiln is very particular about the volume corresponding to the weight. When an expert weighs it with his hands, he will naturally have a certain degree of confidence in his heart.

No matter what aspect he looked at, he didn't see that this small bowl was from the Guangxu period. Such an exquisite product was rare even in the Kangxi dynasty, especially the red color!
