Chapter 50 Blue Stamp
Yu Yao said that smashing and burying was the rule of imperial kilns during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If the fired official kiln wares were not up to standard after leaving the kiln, or were unusable for other reasons, they would all be smashed and buried.

Therefore, in the Porcelain Capital and its surrounding areas, there are still a large number of official kiln porcelain pieces buried underground, because it is common to dig them out during construction.Moreover, there are quite a few people who specialize in this, and even rented yards around the original site of the Royal Kiln Factory, and dug tunnels to dig porcelain pieces.

After pondering for a while, Lao Zhou pondered and opened his mouth:

"At that time, the imperial power struggle was very fierce. If this thing was fired, it would be transported out of the imperial kiln factory, and it would be stolen, robbed or designed to be taken away by the opposition forces, and it was not destroyed by chance. , this is not impossible.”

But Pu Jie didn't care about their repeated scrutiny, "There's no need to think about it. The stall owner didn't dig it out by himself! Think about it, hundreds of years have passed, who knows what happened? Even if he entered the capital, It's used, and in the next few hundred years, by chance, it will flow out of the palace, wander around among the people, and finally come to the porcelain capital, isn't that also possible?"

Lao Huang nodded, "As long as the year and craftsmanship are in place, it can be identified as matching this model. As for where it appeared or what happened in history, no one can tell. If it doesn't work, you can make a carbon fourteen or Thermoluminescent detection or something."

Yu Yao picked up the bag in his hand, raised his head slightly, with a confident expression on his face, "No, I think it's fine. And I won't sell this kind of thing lightly."

He is not rich now, but after selling a few things, he is not short of money for the time being. If he has good things, he can keep them for a while.

Especially for this incense burner, it may not be possible to come across a similar second one in this life.

Although it was just Yu Yao who picked up the trick, but the three of them also gained knowledge, and they came together again, and they were all very happy, talking and laughing for a while and continuing to visit the stalls.

The sky was bright, but the number of people in the market gradually decreased.Those who have left are mostly old customers, and they are willing to catch up with the dark atmosphere.

Lao Huang has more ideas than them, and pays more attention to the porcelain stalls. He has seen a few before, and although there are many authentic ones, he is not satisfied overall.

So, after discovering a larger stall, he went straight up.

This stall occupies two regular booths, and there are many types of porcelain tiles, and there are many monochrome glazes.Lao Huang is thinking about trying porcelain inlays and selling them as hanging screens, so he pays more attention to the monochrome glazed porcelain.Because if it is blue and white or overglaze, it may not be good-looking to make a colorful hanging screen.

Yu Yao wasn't very interested in the tiles, but he was a little tired at the moment, so he stood aside and looked at them.Lao Zhou and Pu Jie were not interested either, so they went to a nearby stall to watch.

There are two people guarding this porcelain stall, the older one is in his 50s, and the younger one is in his 20s. They look alike, like father and son.

Sure enough, Lao Huang chatted a few words, during which he heard the younger call the older "Dad".

"Little brother." Yu Yao was watching, when he heard someone greet him, he saw that it was Zhao Haisheng, the owner of the stall, and Lao Zhao, the one with the small bowl of Yingqing.

"Eh? Old Zhao, have you closed the stall?"

"No, my wife came to deliver the food. I finished eating. She was looking at the stalls, and I also took a turn around. Why don't you go shopping? Are you collecting good things?" Old Zhao pointed at Yu Yao's hand. in the bag.

"Hey, take one blindly." Yu Yao pouted, "I came with my friend, he is looking at the ceramics. I'll take it easy." As he spoke, he took out the cigarette case with one hand and handed the cigarette to the old man. Zhao.

Old Zhao took it, and politely didn't ask what was in Yu Yao's hand. He looked at the stall and lowered his voice slightly, "I didn't pay attention to it just now. It turned out to be Lan Po's stall. His porcelain pieces are authentic, and he has studied them for 20 years. gone."

"That's really not short! The guy from Yanjing is called Pianerbai, and he's Pianerlan. However, the name is a bit strange."

Old Zhao Yile, "Lan Po is not his real name, his surname is Xu, and his name is Xu Fugui."

As soon as Old Zhao said this, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed. Seeing that Yu Yao didn't intend to change the subject, he continued to speak in a low voice.

More than 20 years ago, Lan Po was still a farmer in the suburban county of China Capital.Because of the difficulties at home, I always thought about doing something else to make more money.At that time, the antique market in Porcelain City was just beginning to flourish. An old watch from a neighboring village he knew entered the business, collecting goods from nearby villages, and went to the antique market in Porcelain City to sell his savings from time to time.

Once, he followed him for a trip, and saw the old watch put out a plate that cost more than ten yuan, but it turned out to be sold for thousands of yuan.Guys, faster than stealing money!

But he didn't finish the second grade of elementary school, he didn't know a few big characters, and he didn't remember the other ones, so he only remembered the money at the bottom of the plate, which was blue and round.

In fact, the old cousin was not bad, so he reminded him a few words on the way back, telling him that the plate was an official kiln money from the Qing Dynasty.This porcelain is also divided into ages, divided into official kilns and private kilns, and official kilns are often more valuable.If you want to learn porcelain, it is best to learn money first, such as round and square, seal script and regular script.

But in his mind, he always thought that having this blue poke would be worth a fortune.And he became active like a revelation, isn't it hard to find old porcelain?However, this kind of "blue stamp" is not usually seen.

Going home at night, drank two ounces of wine, squinted his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly remembered a cousin who hadn't given five servings!This cousin is from a slaughterhouse, isn't that white pig also covered with a "blue stamp"?Isn't this "official kiln money"?

So, he found two old jars from the village, found his cousin, and put two blue stamps on the bottom of the jars.However, this is an inspection stamp, with the year, month, day and the words "passed" on it.

But he didn't want to think about it. He thought he had found a way to make a fortune, so he didn't discuss it with the old cousin. He scratched a few old copper locks, old mirror frames, etc., and went straight to the market to set up a stall.

As a result, he became the biggest joke in the market that day, and everyone on the street was talking about it.People didn't know his name, so the nickname "Blue Stamp" spread.

Coincidentally, when I was shopping in the market that day, there was an old professor from the Ceramics Institute who was kind-hearted, sat in front of his stall and chatted a few words and gave some pointers.Tell him that there are too many funds for official kilns, and this must be studied carefully.And according to his situation, he doesn't have much literacy, so he can start to study from the porcelain pieces, the tire quality, the glaze color, the pictures, and learn slowly, practice makes perfect.

That day, he was completely ashamed by the stall shoppers, and it was only this old professor who confided his heart and didn't treat him as a fool.After returning, he held his breath and remembered to study the tiles.

At that time, porcelain tiles were worthless, and it cost him nothing to study them.At the same time, I also began to learn various official kiln fonts and the history of ceramics.

as long as you try very hard, you can achieve anything. 20 years have passed, and until now, no one would have imagined that a farmer who could not read a few characters, his attainments in porcelain are no longer comparable to those so-called brickmakers.

He now also has a shop in the antique market.However, I still have a special liking for ceramic tiles, even if the profit is not too high, but I have never let go of the tile business.

After listening to Yu Yao, he thought to himself, this blue stamp is much more reliable than that Luji Porcelain Shop, and he should suggest Lao Huang to cooperate with him for a long time!
