Chapter 205 Liaobai Chicken Drumstick Bottle

"Yes. But that one looks too ugly." Pu Jie shook his head, "It's true that the old man is obsessed with old things. He's getting older, but his eyesight isn't growing."

"What's wrong with that?" Yu Yao asked.

"Like an elongated plum bottle, it is more than one foot high, and the thickest part is only a dozen centimeters. It is white glazed, quite white, but the bottom of the tire is thick and has no shape. The most ugly thing is that the top There are edges and edges."

"One edge and one edge?"

"It's like a screw, with raised rings."

"No other decorations?"

"This...false ring foot, there seems to be a circle of scattered black flowers on the ring foot, like grass leaves, but it's not pretty." Pu Jie said, "Although my eyesight is not good, this thing should be ordinary. It was fired in a folk kiln."

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Let's not talk about the feeling of folk kilns, do you think you are the youngest?"

"I've never seen this style before, but it doesn't look like a new thing. But even if it's not new, it should be something of little value."

"Well, you can get in touch and return the blue and white slag bucket together tomorrow, and I'll take a look at the bottle by the way."

"Okay, anyway, I have to return the things."

The two agreed, and Pu Jie left with the brocade box in his arms.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Pu Jie drove to pick up Yu Yao.The old man got up early, and originally said that we could meet at 07:30, but Pu Jie postponed it.

The old man's surname is Wang, and he is older than Pu Cunzhi. Pu Jie called him Uncle Wang since he was a child.It turned out that he and Pu Jie were neighbors, but there was no elevator in that building, and it was a bit difficult for him to go up and down the stairs because of his age. Later, his son bought him a junior high-rise apartment with an elevator.

After his wife passed away two years ago, his son always wanted him to go to the United States. He refused to go to the United States. Now he lives alone, but he hired a babysitter. He only goes there during the day, cooks lunch, and washes clothes and cleans up. .

When Yu Yao and Pu Jie went, the babysitter went shopping for vegetables, but Uncle Wang was very hospitable, and after hearing that Yu Yao had opened an antique shop, he sat down and served fruit and tea.

"Uncle Wang, don't be polite." Pu Jie said directly after sitting down, "We won't accept your blue and white porcelain for now."

"Xiaojie, according to what you mean, do you want this Xiaoyu to take care of you?"

Yu Yao smiled, "Uncle Wang, I just took a look."

"What's the matter? The price is not right? Or is something wrong?"

"this······"

"I'm a private hobby, not someone in your antique shop. If you have something to say, just say it, just play! It's good to figure it out!" Uncle Wang said cheerfully without being impatient.

As he spoke, he was still kneading a pair of walnuts, starry and lion heads.

Pu Jie knew that Yu Yao was in a bit of trouble, so he pointed to the lion's head on Uncle Wang's hand and interjected, "Uncle Wang, it's time to clean up your pair of walnuts, the space is full of dirty mud!"

"This is patina, what dirty mud! You are still in the antique business, don't talk nonsense!"

Gypsophila lion head, a Wenwan walnut variety, has pimple lines with deeper and more gaps, and it is really easy to "hide dirt and evil people and practices".

Yu Yao just picked up the words, "Uncle Wang, this is not patina. Patina, in the final analysis, is a special oxide layer, not a putty layer."

"Hey? If it wasn't for the infiltration of human body oil, it wouldn't be red!"

"For nuclear things, human body oils have an effect; the redness is caused by anthocyanins, and the brightness is caused by the oxide layer formed by constant friction. Let me tell you this, as long as it can be washed off, None of it is patina; patina cannot be washed off unless cleaned thoroughly."

"It seems to make sense."

Yu Yao went on to say, "You are like porcelain, even if you don't use your hands to pan it, it will still have an oxide layer after hundreds of years. So new porcelain has fire and light, but old porcelain does not."

Uncle Wang came back again, "You don't accept my tea bucket because you are not old? I think the glaze is very moist!"

"Uncle Wang, this is not a tea bucket, it's a scum bucket." Pu Jie picked it up again, repeating what he heard from Yu Yao, "How do you think the tea bucket is so big? It's different from other tea sets Matching!"

"Xiaojie, stop talking. I can see that you can't do it." Uncle Wang pointed at Yu Yao, "He can do it! Let Xiao Yu say it! What's wrong with this tea... scumbag."

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Uncle Wang, this scumbag is your son's filial piety to you, so I don't have much to say."

"Hey! His eyesight is not as good as mine! I don't know his filial piety better than you? I won't be unhappy if I buy the wrong one!"

As soon as Yu Yao heard it, this scumbag was taken away and brought back, there must be an explanation, and there is another thing he wants to see!Then he said it bluntly, "Uncle Wang, this blue and white scum bucket is connected to the bottom."

"Bottom?" Uncle Wang opened the brocade box and took out the blue and white slag bucket, "If this is the case, this level is good enough!"

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, this old man, holding such a thing in his hand can still do this, his mentality is really not bad!Based on this alone, compared to most players, it is more fun to play!
That being the case, Yu Yao explained in detail why it was the bottom line.

"The craftsmanship of the Republic of China is better than it is now!" Finally, Uncle Wang fully accepted it and nodded repeatedly.

Pu Jie took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Wang, don't you have another bottle to sell? It just so happened that Yu Yao came along, let him have a look too!"

"Okay, wait."

Uncle Wang then entered a room, took out the bottle from inside, and put it on the coffee table without putting it in a box.

"Uncle Wang, how did you get this?" Yu Yao asked while looking at it.

"It's a long time ago. Before I retired, I went to Inner Mongolia on a business trip and bought it at a market in a small county. I just thought it was special, and I used it as a vase for a while. Later, I fell in love with colored ware, so I put it away I don’t take it out much anymore. Isn’t this a new thing that I saw recently? After picking and choosing, I’m willing to sell only a scum bucket and this bottle.”

Yu Yao secretly nodded.

That's right.

Because this bottle, which is a bit weird in shape and has circles of ribs, is a chicken leg bottle from the Liao Dynasty.Uncle Wang's place of purchase is also in line with it, so it may have been dug out locally.

The overall body of the bottle is slender and tall, and judging from the bulging arc, it does look a bit like a chicken leg.

The Liao Kingdom was a Khitan dynasty, and the Khitan people were nomadic, so the porcelain manufacturing industry was not well developed.First, the firing technique is difficult to master, and second, porcelain is fragile.Therefore, Khitan nobles often used gold, silver and bronze wares, and ordinary people used leather bags and wooden wares.

Later, during the confrontation with the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom occupied Dingzhou many times.

Dingzhou, where Ding Kiln is located.

In this process, the Liao Kingdom mastered certain techniques and talents for firing white porcelain, and produced a very important kind of porcelain.

This is Liao white porcelain.

This chicken leg bottle is exactly Liao Baici.
