Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 344 Cizhou Kiln Porcelain (four more)

Fearing that he might accidentally say the wrong thing again, Shi Jin didn't dare to bring up any real estate matters, so he talked about other topics instead.

"By the way, when I just came here, I saw that you were holding things in your hands. Did you go into the mountain to collect them this time?" Shi Jin glanced at the things on the back seat from the corner of his eyes and asked hurriedly.

After being reminded by him, Chu Ning remembered those two things that she had forgotten.

She turned sideways and took the jewelry box and incense burner from the back seat.

She put the jewelry box on her lap and ignored it, but she held the dusty and dirty incense burner in her hand like a baby and looked at it carefully.

Shi Jin understood.

It seems that among these two things, the incense burner is obviously more valuable than that wooden box.

"Is this an incense burner?" Shi Jin asked, "Our family seems to have a similar one, but there are some differences in shape, size, and pattern. My grandma believes in Buddhism and built a small Buddhist hall at home. The censer is placed in her small Buddhist hall. When I was a child, my grandma often dragged me over to burn incense and kowtow to the Bodhisattva!"

In fact, all the juniors of the Shi family have been tortured by Grandma Shi in this way.

Shi Jin is not bad. He has been away in the army for these years and seldom returns home.People like Shi Ze who have to go home for a few days from time to time, are often grabbed by Grandma Shi and taken to the small Buddha Hall, and they can't run away even if they want to!
Hey, grandma of the Shi family still has such hobbies?
Chu Ning smiled and said: "Well, this is indeed an incense burner, and ah, it is also an antique incense burner."

She told Shi Jin that the incense burner was an old item in the ancestral hall of Uncle Li's family.

Shi Jin glanced at the censer thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid the history of this censer is more than that simple, right?"

If it was really just an incense burner in the ancestral hall, it would be absolutely impossible for Chu Ning to be so precious.

Chu Ning glanced at Shi Jin in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jin knew her quite well.

"Of course this censer is not simple." Chu Ning said playfully, "But even if I tell you the origin of this censer, are you sure you can understand it?"

Shi Jin: "..."

This is discrimination, it must be discrimination!

"If you don't understand me, you can learn it!" Shi Jin said cheekily, "Actually, I have learned a lot about antiques recently. If you don't believe me, find a chance to test me, and I promise not to disappoint you!"

No way?
Well done, what is Shi Jin doing studying antiques? !
Could it be that it was just to have more conversations with her?

Chu Ning looked at him suspiciously, but saw that Shi Jin looked indifferently, looking at the front of the car expressionlessly, without even shaking his face.

This is not Shi Jin's usual style in front of her.

It's clearly a guilty conscience!
Chu Ning suddenly smiled and said: "Okay! It's rare that you are so motivated, I don't think we need to find other opportunities, let's do it now! I will ask you a few basic knowledge about antiques, as long as you can answer them , I will count you as passing! How about it?"

Shi Jin's face finally trembled.

It's just that the vibration was very small, if Chu Ning hadn't been staring at him, I'm afraid she wouldn't have noticed it.

It's over, this time I really shot myself in the foot!
Do you want to agree to come down?

If Chu Chu finds out that he is actually lying to her, will she be angry?
If he knew that things would turn out like this, why did he just say big things just to please his girlfriend!
Deceit is sometimes more unacceptable than ignorance.

Shi Jin was about to cry.

Chu Ning was having fun in her heart.

She knew that Shi Jin was so busy every day that he didn't even have enough time to rest, so how could he still have time to learn about antiques by himself?

Even if he really learned, the progress must not be too fast!
If he dared to speak big words in front of her, he should let him know the consequences of speaking big words!
Chu Ning stared at Shi Jin for a while, but Shi Jin couldn't take it any longer, so she had to honestly say: "Okay, okay, I won't take the exam. I admit, I've just started to learn about antiques. I know Not much at all!"

Wouldn't it be over sooner than this!

Chu Ning rolled Shi Jin's eyes.

Shi Jin was not angry, but smiled and said: "Chu Chu, although I don't know much about antiques, my heart has always been towards you and towards antiques! Just tell me about this incense burner." Why, just treat it as a lecture for me? How about I pay you some tuition fees?"

The mature and prudent Shi Jin was playing tricks, but Chu Ning also couldn't bear it.

"Stop doing this! How can I still be short of your tuition?" Even so, Chu Ning patiently explained, "This incense burner is a rare bamboo pattern incense burner in Cizhou Kiln..."

Cizhou kiln porcelain is one of the traditional porcelains in my country and also a treasure among porcelains.

It originated in the Song Dynasty and got its name from the place where the kiln mouth is located.

Cizhou kiln is the largest folk kiln system in the north of my country, and is very famous, once as famous as JDZ.

The Cizhou kiln is most famous for producing white glazed black colored porcelain.

The censer in Chu Ning's hand fits perfectly with this characteristic of Cizhou kiln porcelain.

Cizhou kiln was created and fired in the Song Dynasty, and it also reached its peak in the Song Dynasty.However, it is loved by the people and naturally develops very rapidly, so its popularity is extremely high.

From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the firing of Cizhou kiln porcelain has never stopped, and there are even some new developments during the period.

But in any case, the most precious Cizhou kiln porcelain comes from the Song Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, the style of writing prevailed, and many utensils that appeared at that time were more or less affected.

The firing of porcelain is of course one of them.

Many of the porcelain fired in the Song Dynasty catered to the preferences of the literati in terms of style and decoration on the surface of the porcelain.

The four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are also one of the most commonly used materials in porcelain firing.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are bamboo branch decorations on a good incense burner.

The performance of the incense burner itself has already been explained, it is Cizhou kiln porcelain.

The only thing that needs to be determined is its specific firing age.

And this is proved by the inscription left at the bottom of the incense burner.

Among Cizhou kiln porcelains, there are actually not many porcelains inscribed with year models, and only a few pieces have been found in the world, and they are still collected in large museums at home and abroad.

The incense burner in Chu Ning's hand, "Family Country Yong'an" was originally a common inscription logo in the Song Dynasty.And "Xining three years" indicates the time when the incense burner was born.

Xining is one of the year names used by Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

With these performances, Chu Ning is completely sure that the incense burner in her hand is the real Song Dynasty Cizhou kiln porcelain!
It's a pity that this incense burner was more or less damaged due to improper preservation.In addition, it is ordinary in shape and small in size, so there is still a lot of discount in terms of value.
