Play treasure master

Chapter 397 Who Taught You?
"I've said it a long time ago, you can't just say yes!" Yu Yao smiled slightly.

The little fat man was still a child after all, so he pouted, "I'll sell it as a Kangxi official kiln! And I've already seen that you don't really want to buy it!"

"Green is like the first birthday of spring water, and red is like the morning glow when it is about to rise." Yu Yao said slowly, "80 is too expensive, I really don't want to buy it. But, it takes so much time for you, let me tell you why the bottom glaze and top glaze How about thicker?"

"Huh? You also know these two lines of poetry?" The little fat man's eyes lit up, "Okay, you asked me so much, you should tell me too!"

These two poems were written by Hong Liangji, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, who praised cowpea red glaze.

Although this Laifu Zun was a genuine product from the Kangxi official kiln, Yu Yao really didn't want to buy it at the going price, let alone take advantage of this child.

"Because this radish statue is too small! The height is less than [-] centimeters, um, it looks about [-] or [-] centimeters. The common Kangxi official kiln cowpea red glaze radish statue is generally about [-] centimeters. The shape of the vessel is small, so the bottom glaze and top glaze appear thick.”

"Damn it!" The little fat man scratched his scalp and said angrily, "You played tricks on me! You brought him into the pit!"

"What am I playing with you? Do you know why there are such official kilns that are inconsistent with the conventional size?"

"Huh?" The little fat man suddenly widened his eyes again.

"Because this is for rewards, and a reward is usually a set, and there will be boring gongs, apple statues, etc., all of which are smaller than the usual official kilns." Yu Yao said, and got up, "No Wasting your time for nothing?"

The little fat man finally grinned, "No waste! No waste!"

"Then can you tell me, who taught you this knowledge about porcelain?" Yu Yao said so much precisely because he wanted to ask this question.

In the face of peer experts, interest is inevitable.This little fat man already has good eyesight at such a young age, the person who taught him must be a first-class master.

"Here······"

As soon as the little fat man opened his mouth, he was stopped by the female stall owner, "Okay, okay, hurry up and thank this gentleman for pointing you out!"

"Thank you, brother!" The little fat man bowed.

Yu Yao said in his heart, I call your mother and elder sister, you call me elder brother, this is really messy.However, since the female stall owner didn't want the little fat man to talk more, Yu Yao couldn't ask any further questions. Maybe the little fat man's father who set up a stall in the antique market is a master.If this is the case, the female stall owner won't let him talk, let alone ask.

"Let's go!" Xiao Ying followed at this time.

Yu Yao nodded, took another look at the little fat man, and then went on to another stall.

The little fat man showed an itchy and unbearable expression, but his arm was torn off by the female stall owner, and he sat down on the stall again.

After sitting for a while, he blinked his eyes, "Mom, am I right? This is the Kangxi official kiln! If I hadn't picked it out from the pile of things Dad collected, you would have lost a lot!"

"You are amazing, okay?" The female stall owner touched his head, then whispered, "Business is business, and outside of business, don't talk to strangers!"

"Oh!" The little fat man replied, but from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Yu Yao's leaving back from time to time.

Yu Yao and Xiao Ying walked all the way to the end of the stall area, and at the farthest stand, Yu Yao stopped again.At this time, Xiao Ying simply said: "I'm just strolling around, come and go with me when you're done."

Xiao Ying is not an outsider in antiques, and he does not reject them; however, today he is not interested at all, and he seems to be a little restless.

"Are you okay?" Yu Yao looked at him, "Why don't you watch it, let's go back to the hotel."

"It's okay, look at you, I'm free when I go back. I just want to move around." Xiao Ying waved her hand and walked away on her own.

Yu Yao didn't insist any more, just squatted down in front of this stall.

Because he saw something again.

This is a piece of celadon with a strange shape.

It has a diameter of about [-] centimeters, and the upper part is similar to a plate, but it has a vertical short side, and instead of a flat bottom, there is a circle of concave circular grooves around it. Below the "plate" are bottom feet that resemble round beads, and there are quite a few of them. There are eighteen in total.The overall height is about six centimeters.

The carcass of this celadon ware is very thick, and the "pan center" is completely exposed. The carcass is off-white, and the periphery and the bottom of the [-] round beads are full of glaze. The glaze color is blue with yellow in the middle.

Although it is green glaze, it has a transparent glass texture.

The stall owner was a dark and thin old man who never left his cigarette. When Yu Yao was looking at something, he would finish his cigarette and refill it, "Young man, do you like it?"

Seeing him smoking, Yu Yao didn't hold back, put down the celadon vessel, tapped it lightly with his left hand, and lit a cigarette with his right hand, "Old man, is this an oil lamp?"

There is a circular groove in the "center" of this thing. It would be interesting to pour oil and add a core.

"Of course it's not an oil lamp. This is a good thing. This is a porcelain inkstone! The round groove is not for pouring oil, but for storing ink!"

As soon as Yu Yao heard that he understood, he murmured in his heart that something was wrong, and asked again, "Oh? Such an inkstone is rare."

"This is called Piyong inkstone!" Seeing that Yu Yao seemed very interested, the stall owner started talking, "This Piyong inkstone is exquisite! Piyong is the place where the emperor gave lectures in ancient times! Look at this shape, does it look like it?" a forum?"

"It's kind of like that." Yu Yao nodded.

"This Piyong inkstone was available in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Look at the eighteen bottom feet below, which look like round beads, and they are called pearl feet..."

Yu Yao interrupted at this time, "I remembered, it is indeed Piyong inkstone, but, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not so many pearl feet, right? It seems that there were more after the Tang and Song Dynasties."

Of course Yu Yao knew what he said, and he had already seen it clearly. He could no longer listen to what he said, and had to take the initiative to test it out.

The stall owner heard it, "Young man, how can you suddenly think of this? You don't have to test me, it's true. I only said that the Piyong inkstone appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and I didn't mention this celadon Piyong inkstone. It is from the Eastern Han Dynasty! Moreover, the celadon of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not worth much!"

Porcelain began to flourish in the Tang Dynasty, and became popular in the Song Dynasty; but primitive porcelain appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and porcelain in the true sense also appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty.However, there are really not many treasures of porcelain before the Tang Dynasty.

Yu Yao chuckled, and didn't answer the stall owner's words, "Well, this Piyong inkstone shape is not bad for a desk, old man, can you give me the lowest price?"

"This is the Yue kiln from the Tang Dynasty. It's not cheap!" The stall owner refilled another cigarette with an inscrutable expression on his face.

But Yu Yao was relieved.

Yue Kiln in Tang Dynasty?It seems that although the stall owner knew the shape of the Piyong Inkstone, he didn't see it through.

He should think it looks like an old kiln, but he can't be specific; the famous kiln in the Song Dynasty probably thinks it is not reliable, but in the Tang Dynasty, the Southern Qingbeibeibai, the southern Yue Kiln celadon, and the northern Xing Kiln white porcelain are the most famous, so he gave it to him. Buckle the hat of Yue Kiln in Tang Dynasty.
