Chapter 549

Lao Zhou and Pu Jie obviously noticed this too.

Lao Zhou seemed to understand a little bit, and Pu Jie tried the lid of the pot. There was a circle of obvious lines on the edge of the lid, but it was engraved on it, and it really couldn't be opened.

But the spout is obviously hollow.Without knowing it, Pu Jie went in, thinking that this pot has complicated patterns, could it be just for viewing?It seems to be a folk kiln, and the pure ornamental wares of folk kilns are relatively rare, and they don't look like things from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This pot is made of green glaze, with deep patterns under the glaze; the body of the pot is a large cluster of twining flowers, and the lid has leaves and branches; the handle itself is in the shape of a branch, and there are dark patterns carved on it.

Boss Kong smiled and said nothing. At this time, Lao Zhou started to turn the pot upside down to look at the bottom.

The bottom of the pot was exposed, and a large round hole was exposed.

Only then did Pu Jie suddenly realize, "This, could it be the legendary backflow pot?"

The so-called backflow pot, combined with the structure of this pot, is easy to understand. The water is poured from the round hole at the bottom of the pot;

This kind of pot is not difficult to buy in the porcelain handicraft market now.However, whether it is ancient or modern, this thing is not practical, and there are more components for viewing and playing.

Yu Yao nodded, and said to Boss Kong, "Boss Kong, do you keep this pot for yourself or will you sell it?"

"Mr. Yu, you're being polite. I'm not a collector. No matter what I collect, as long as the price is right, I can sell it."

At this time, Lao Zhou said, "Boss Kong, can you try it with water?"

"Of course!" Boss Kong nodded.

After a try, it really is.This is actually a bit of a strange thing, water is poured from the hole at the bottom, and then it is placed, but the water does not flow out, but the water comes out smoothly from the spout.

The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

There is another kind of pot in ancient times, which is somewhat similar to the backflow pot. It is called the Yuanyang Zhuanxin pot, also known as the two-heart pot.There are two "hearts" in a pot, that is, two spaces; there are usually two holes at the bottom of the pot. When pouring wine or water, press the left hole, and the liquid from the "right heart" will be poured out. ;Press the hole on the right, and what is poured out is the liquid of the "left heart".

The Yuanyang Zhuanxin Pot is sometimes called the Yuanyang Poison Pot, and the meaning of drinking poison to quench thirst is self-evident.Two or more people drink from the same jug, half of which is poisoned and half of which is non-toxic. The person who pours the wine can control who is poured the poisoned wine.

After pouring the water and drying the pot, Boss Kong couldn't help but look at Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou could tell that this pot was an old kiln and a high-quality folk kiln at the same time, but it was difficult to determine the kiln mouth; and since Yu Yao asked first, he smiled at Boss Kong and said nothing.

Yu Yao interjected, "Boss Kong, Lao Zhou's Doucai Cup has not been bought. If I accept this pot, I have to give the lowest price!"

"Mr. Yu really wants it?"

"As you said before, if the price is right, you can ask for it."

Boss Kong laughed loudly, "Let's say a few words first, this pot is an old kiln from the Song Dynasty. Although it is a folk kiln, the price is not low."

Hearing this, Yu Yao's heart sank, and he thought that Boss Kong really knew porcelain, so he might be able to pick it up, but he still asked, "Boss Yi Kong, which kiln mouth is it? "

"Mr. Yu must have noticed it a long time ago, right?" Boss Kong caressed the body of the pot, "This is a backflow pot from Yaozhou Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty."

There are five official kiln systems in the kiln mouth of the Song Dynasty, and Ru Guan Ge Junding.There are mainly eight folk kilns, four in the north and four in the south.Among them, the Jun kiln and Ding kiln include both Guan Jun and Guan Ding, as well as Min Jun and Min Ding.

In addition to Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln, the four folk kilns in the north are Cizhou Kiln and Yaozhou Kiln.In the south, there are Raozhou kiln, Jizhou kiln, Jian kiln and Longquan kiln.Among them, the Raozhou kiln is actually the kiln mouth of the porcelain capital.

Boss Kong's dating and the theory of the kiln mouth are exactly the same.Yu Yao couldn't help but secretly sighed, even if he had good eyesight, he came across a good thing, it's not so easy to pick up the missing ones, the owner has to be unable to see clearly.Since Boss Kong has seen it clearly, then this loophole must not exist.

What Yu Yao sighed at the same time was Boss Kong's vision.

In the Song Dynasty, celadon was mainly used. From the perspective of folk kilns, the reputation of the south is greater than that of the north.Especially Yaozhou kiln, there are not many people who study it, and even fewer people can understand it.

The Yaozhou kiln that can be dated to the Northern Song Dynasty is mainly from the engraving process, the lines are thick and relatively deep, because the engraving on the porcelain embryo is oblique.If it was earlier, the Yaozhou kiln in the Five Dynasties period would not have such deep flowers, but raised carvings; if it was later, in the Southern Song Dynasty (the north was ruled by gold), the lines of the carvings became thinner.

Now that I've said so much, Yu Yao didn't miss the last sentence: "Boss Kong, what's the lowest price for this pot?"

This backflow pot from the Yaozhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty is slightly small in size and not the most advanced in craftsmanship, but overall it is still exquisite, and the price should be more than 300 million.

Boss Kong pondered for a while, "Subis once auctioned a similar piece, of course, it was better than mine. It should have sold for about 60 US dollars at that time. If Mr. Yu wants this one, I will give it the lowest price." The whole price, 300 million!"

At this moment, Lao Zhou and Pu Jie couldn't help but look at each other, they both thought that at this price, Yu Yao would definitely not make a move.

Yu Yao was also straightforward, "I can't afford this price."

Boss Kong nodded, and was about to put it away, but Yu Yao pointed to the box on the table where the pouring pot was originally placed, "Boss Kong, this box is very beautiful, is it for sale alone?"

Boss Kong brought this box together. He put the box on the table first, and then took out this Yaozhou backflow pot from the box.

The size of the box is appropriate, but the backflow pot of the Northern Song Dynasty definitely does not match the box. Boss Kong matched it himself.

Boss Kong was taken aback when he heard the sound. The box was made of old mahogany, but it was something from the late Qing Dynasty;

However, because this box is the cover of heaven and earth, to open the box is to take off the cover directly, so there is a circular depression in the joint part of the center of the two sides, for the convenience of opening the box.

Just below the two circular depressions, that is, on the body of the box, are each inlaid with a "silver piece".

The two "silver pieces" have the same style, and the pattern on them is "Double Dragons Holding Longevity", with a round longevity pattern in the middle and a dragon on each side.

There is a circle of bumps on the edges of these two "silver pieces", which look like silver coins.However, besides the pattern of "Double Dragons Holding Longevity", there is no face value and date; and the other side is inlaid in mahogany, and I don't know what it is.

Boss Kong is not familiar with the pattern of "Double Dragons Holding Longevity", and vaguely thinks it looks like a silver coin, but he has no research on it; what he knows is the common silver and copper coins issued during the Guangxu and Xuantong periods from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and The later Yuan Datou, this is obviously not; moreover, since it is inlaid on the mahogany box, it may not be a silver coin.
