Chapter 264

The porcelain gourd in front of Chu Ning didn’t seem to notice any difference when she took a rough look at it, but if she lowered her gaze and made her gaze level with the porcelain gourd, she would find that the surface of the porcelain gourd It actually exudes faint fluorescence, as bright and beautiful as a luminous pearl, making people almost unable to take their eyes off their eyes.

There are several peonies crowded together on the surface of the porcelain gourd. These peonies are extremely gorgeous, and each flower is in full bloom. This small porcelain gourd immediately adds a bit of dazzling brilliance. Simple and delicate, it suddenly becomes rich and prosperous!

When looking at the porcelain gourd from the side, the porcelain gourd printed with peony patterns looks like a relatively precious fine porcelain.But when the line of sight is at the same level as the porcelain gourd, the cluster of blooming peonies, under the sudden fluorescent reflection, blooms with a different posture of vitality, as if they are alive!
This porcelain gourd is obviously not simple!

Chu Yinglue looked at the porcelain gourd in a daze for a while, and suddenly said in a trance: "Chu Chu, have you seen the origin of this porcelain gourd?"

Chu Ning's expression was quite calm.

Before she bought this porcelain gourd, she had already seen that it was porcelain, and it was definitely a valuable one.

Although the true appearance of this porcelain gourd was still beyond her expectations, it also gave her a sense of reason.

"I have some guesses, but I don't know if it's right." Chu Ning smiled slightly.

Chu Ying gave her a slight look: "There are only us father and daughter here, what are you still trying to do? Speak directly!"

"Then I'll tell the truth!" Chu Ning said casually, "If I'm wrong, please ask Dad to correct me when the time comes!"

"..." Chu Yinglue's expression became a little more helpless, "I said you girl, in the past few years in school, you haven't learned much, and your skills in talking nonsense are getting better and better. Hurry up, talk! "

This is a good thing, Chu Yinglue's mentality also became a little anxious.

"If you want me to say it, I think this porcelain gourd is probably the legendary gentleman's porcelain!" Seeing that her father seemed to be really angry, Chu Ning didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly expressed her opinion.

Hearing the words "Gentleman Porcelain" from Chu Ning's mouth, Chu Ying lost her mind for a moment.

It turned out that my daughter really thought so too!
In fact, Chu Yinglue also felt that the peony porcelain gourd in front of them was the legendary gentleman porcelain!
The so-called gentleman porcelain is one of the most mysterious porcelain varieties in our country.

According to historical records, when Wu Zetian was in power in the Tang Dynasty, some officials presented a set of exquisite porcelain, which was also the earliest time when gentleman porcelain appeared.

Later, because the exquisiteness of gentleman porcelain was beyond comparison with ordinary porcelain, Wu Zetian loved it very much, and it became Wu Zetian's special porcelain.

Therefore, Junzi porcelain is also called Wu Zetian porcelain.

Pour and Cixi porcelain, a bit of the same meaning.

After Wu Zetian's death, the firing process of Junzi porcelain was lost, so that Junzi porcelain disappeared mysteriously. In the long history after that, no one was able to make Junzi porcelain anymore.

Up to now, there are only two pieces of Wu Zetian gentleman porcelain known to everyone.

One is in JDZ, the porcelain capital of our country, and the other was snatched by the British when the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned and looted the Old Summer Palace. It is now preserved in the British National Museum, which has many well-known collections.

It is also because the amount of Junzi porcelain in the world is too rare, not to mention those laymen, even those who specialize in antiques may not know that there is such a category of Junzi porcelain in porcelain.

Also for this reason, after the peony porcelain gourd showed its true face, Chu Yinglue didn't think of going to Junzi porcelain at first.

But the characteristics of this porcelain gourd are too obvious.

The biggest feature of Junzi porcelain is that it looks like ordinary porcelain from other angles, but if you look at it from a parallel line of sight, you can see the fluorescence on the surface of Junzi porcelain!

The display characteristics of this kind of fluorescence are very in line with the humble nature of Chinese literati, which is somewhat like the style of a gentleman. That's why this rare porcelain is named gentleman porcelain.

The fluorescent properties of Junzi porcelain seem to be very unique, and it is not easy to achieve this feature during the firing process.

It can only be achieved in a very small range of natural temperatures, and any artificial traces will have no effect on it.

The rare existence of Junzi porcelain has a lot to do with the harsh firing conditions.

Chu Yinglue stared at the peony porcelain gourd in front of him for a long time, and finally searched out the three words "junzi porcelain" in his head.

Although he had such a guess, he was still a little uncertain in his heart.

He asked Chu Ning's opinion, not only to test Chu Ning's eyesight, but also somewhat wanted to get some support from Chu Ning, so that he could be more confident in his own judgment.

"Why do you think this porcelain gourd is a gentleman's porcelain?" Chu Yinglue then asked.

"What else is there to ask?" Chu Ning asked strangely, "With your eyesight, Dad, you can definitely tell that the performance of this peony porcelain gourd is exactly the same as the legendary gentleman porcelain! And its The glaze color and porcelain body are the best among porcelains, and they are also in line with some habits and characteristics of firing porcelain in the Tang Dynasty. I can’t think of other porcelains except Junzi porcelain.”

Chu Ying was slightly dumbfounded.

Yes, how could he fail to see such an obvious feature?
It's just that Junzi porcelain is too precious, so he is inevitably a little worried about gains and losses.

But, it is gentleman porcelain after all!

If this peony porcelain gourd is really the legendary gentleman porcelain, it will be the third gentleman porcelain ever produced in the world, which is invaluable!
Although this porcelain gourd is small in size, it is completely incomparable with the other two known Junzi porcelains, and its value must be considerably lower.But just based on the three characters of gentleman porcelain, the price of this porcelain gourd is definitely a sky-high price!
"This porcelain gourd is painted with peonies." Chu Yinglue raised a suspicious point, "Junzi porcelain is specially used for Wu Zetian, and it is rumored that Wu Zetian doesn't like peonies. If this is the case, how can it be painted on the porcelain she used?" A peony pattern appeared?"

Chu Ning laughed when she heard this.

"In fact, it is precisely because the pattern on its surface is peony that I am even more convinced that this peony porcelain gourd is specially made for Wu Zetian!" Chu Ning asked, "It is rumored that Wu Zetian didn't like peonies, but the one in front of us Porcelain gourds are not ordinary porcelain. Only official kilns have the ability to paint such beautiful peonies on such a small porcelain gourd. Peony medicine bottles, maybe this is a way for Wu Zetian to humiliate peony ?”
