Chapter 225 Blank Porcelain

People who have seen Ru porcelain in the National Palace Museum in Taipei often see the word "Fenghua" on Ru porcelain.The Ru porcelain that has appeared in the mainland also has the character "Cai".

"Fenghua" is the name of a palace in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is the side hall of Deoksugung Palace in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is the place where Concubine Liu Guifei, the favorite concubine of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, lived. Many Ru kilns with "Fenghua" were used by Concubine Liu herself.

Concubine Liu Gui was originally the daughter of a restaurant, she came from a humble background, but she was glamorous and romantic, with an appearance that would overwhelm the country and the city.Huizong loved Liu very much and was inseparable from her.It is recorded in historical books that Liu was talented and enlightened, good at flattering Huizong, and also a little talented, able to draw. She herself had two stamps, one big and one small, engraved with the word "Fenghua", which is handed down in a picture On the famous painting once collected by Concubine Liu Gui.

Looking at the two characters of "Fenghua" handed down from generation to generation, the engraving method of the font seems to be made by one person, and they were also engraved by court workers. Therefore, most scholars believe that the "Fenghua" Ru porcelain is a personal item rewarded by the emperor Liu Guifei. .In addition to the Ru kiln, the bottom of the Ding kiln and Jun kiln were also found to be engraved with the word "Fenghua".

Another inscription on Ru porcelain is the "Cai" character.Many of the bottoms of the handed down Ru kilns are engraved with the word "Cai". Among the collections of the Palace Museum, there is a piece of Ru kiln plate with the word "Cai" engraved on it. , deep color.

Ru porcelain is exclusively used by the court, so the possession of Ru porcelain generally depends on the emperor's reward.In the Song Dynasty, there were probably only two Cai families who were able to collect Ru kiln porcelain. One was Cai Jing, the prime minister of Huizong. There will be many opportunities to get Ru kiln porcelain, and Cai Jing once engraved the surname "Cai" as a record of honor.The other was Cai Jing's son Cai Tao, who was Huizong's son-in-law. Huizong visited his mansion seven times and bestowed countless treasures.

There is another kind of inscription "A, B, C", but today it is proved that they were not engraved at that time, but were added later.

"It's rare for Master Kazama to come here once from thousands of miles away. I'll be the host at night, so let's have a good chat!"

Wu Tianyuan was happy, this time Wang Jun collected information in advance, and found that Tan Jing Fangyan Shanming was the old man Kazama, so he naturally seized the opportunity, threatened him, and slowly dragged him into the water!

Kazama nodded dejectedly, there was no other way, the handle was in other people's hands, what if the news spread by himself?Don't talk about losing your reputation, even your life is in danger!

In the past 30 years, countless treasures have been identified by themselves, and the royal family also believes in themselves because of this. What if they know the truth?There is only one dead end!
In the evening, he went to the banquet like a walking dead, and listened to An Tian's meaningful advice, so he simply did not do anything, since he was already on the thief ship, let's do it together!

"I am lucky to be able to make friends with such a master as Master Kazama! Come, let me offer you a toast!"

Wu Tianyuan didn't expect the old man to be so upright, the words he had prepared were useless, and he surrendered directly!That's right, there is another traitor, Yasuda, Yamanaka Hiroaki, Fujita, and now Kazama, the four are all well-known figures in the Japanese antique circle.Especially Kazama, who is highly respected and promises everything.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tianyuan is the most powerful collaborator, I have been taken care of by him"

An Tian bewitched: "In the future, if we cooperate together, it will definitely be prosperous and rich in wealth!"

Sending off the Japanese the next day, Wu Tianyuan played with Ru Kiln and Ge Kiln. Ge Kiln tires were mostly purple-black, iron-black, and also yellowish-brown.The glaze is a devitrified opaque glaze, with a layer of crisp light on the glaze surface. The glaze color is mostly fried beige and grayish blue. The glaze surface is combined with large and small stripes. After dyeing, the large stripes are dark brown, and the small stripes are yellowish brown. , also known as 'golden thread', 'ink pattern plum blossom', 'leaf vein pattern', 'civil and military film' and so on.

The Ge kiln has iron feet, the glaze surface is bright and smooth with many broken lines, and its style and characteristics are similar to those of the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty.Ge kiln ware is famous for its patterns, most of which are black and yellow intersecting, commonly known as gold wire and iron wire.

"Now we have all the five famous kilns all at once, Brother Ruguan Jun Ding!"

Hu Jianmin said excitedly: "There is one piece of Fenghua inscription in Ru Kiln, one more inscription of Xiuneisi Kiln in Southern Song Dynasty in official kiln, one, two, and four inscriptions in Jun Kiln, and Ge Kiln is an official and a new official!"

Wu Tianyuan put them carefully into the display cabinet. The five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty were generally small, except for the large ones of the Jun kiln, the others were all small.Especially the stationery, which is convenient for the emperor to play with and appreciate at any time.

"Now we have two exhibition halls in the Song Dynasty. One is the first emperor of the ages, Song Huizong special exhibition! The second is the five rare porcelains, which have begun to take shape. The rest is to continue to supplement and improve, take your time!"

Wu Tianyuan felt relieved. The remaining money from Polar Bear yesterday was credited to his account. Since he became the boss, his strength and connections have increased a lot. Ten tons of gold can be digested in less than a week.

Calculate how many billions of funds you have in your hand, and how many times you can be willful!Let Yamanaka Hiroaki continue to ask if there are any big collectors in Japan who pack their collections?As long as things are good, the price is not a problem!
"Hey, I still don't have the strength now. When I have money later, I can just buy a museum!"

Ma Weidu recently spent more than 1 million yuan to acquire a private museum in Italy as a whole, but it is only a collection of bookmarks, which is very small.[-] million is not a lot of money, but it is also a precedent.

These are all things to say later, if you have money, you can be self-willed, and now you have to work hard, Wu Tianyuan packed up his mood, and this morning he had nothing to do, and came to Panjiayuan's stall to wander around.

"Tom, this is the largest antique market in China, with thousands of stalls, and 10,000+ people come here every day to shop for treasures, isn't it amazing?"

Looking at the crowd, Tom was shocked. After more than half a month of running-in, they have gotten used to each other and their relationship has become more and more familiar.

If there is a treasure hunt in the wild, Tom will summon all fifteen members to dispatch, and usually ten people are enough for bodyguard tasks.Five people followed Wu Tianyuan, and the rest followed Sun Yuyao. They were very safe in the country and basically had nothing to do.

"Director Wu, are you here for a walk?"

Along the way, there were quite a few experts saying hello, everyone who knew him knew Wu Tianyuan, plus a few burly men followed by stars, he looked like a big star traveling.

"Hey, it's not good for people to be famous now, and it's hard to catch a leak!"

Wu Tianyuan turned around, there were a few small leaks, all of which were Ming Dynasty folk kilns, and one of them was really a fine product.But when I asked the price, the stall owner refused to sell it!Say you want to collect it?Also drunk!

He shook his head and continued to stroll, in fact, it was just for fun, now it is not as easy to find treasures in the wild as to find leaks.People are all monkeys and monkeys, how could they miss it?

Just when Wu Tianyuan was a little disappointed, he walked to the last row of stalls and wanted to leave.Suddenly my ears moved, I wandered to a small stall, squatted down, picked up a dark porcelain pen holder, and began to study it.

"You are really discerning. This is a pen holder in the late Qing Dynasty. Although it has no inscription, it is definitely up to date!"

The young man spoke with a Northeast accent, and seemed to be unfamiliar with Wu Tianyuan. When he saw a rare guest coming to his door, he warmly introduced him.

"how much is it?"

Wu Tianyuan haggled the price for a while, and took two thousand. He left the market excitedly, returned to the museum and began to clean the pen holder.

"It's rare. It's the first time I've seen an official kiln in the blank period of the Ming Dynasty!"

The blank period, also known as the dark period, generally refers to Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Tianshun in the history of JDZ porcelain. During the period from 1436 to 1464, because no porcelain with official kiln year marks from the three dynasties was found to exist, the porcelain seen It is produced by the people's kiln, so it is called "the blank period of the official kiln".

Judging from the above literature records, both official and private kilns were fired during this period.However, there is no official kiln porcelain handed down from generation to generation, and all the porcelain seen are produced by private kilns, so the academic circles are called "blank period" and "three black generations".

In fact, these three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty were produced by official kilns. The main reason was that there were frequent conflicts within the royal family due to the throne, so it was inconvenient for the porcelain produced by JDZ official kilns to write year marks at this time. Therefore, porcelain from these three dynasties is often in various museums or private collections. Placed under Xuande.

In the nearly 30 years after the Xuande Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, a series of political changes took place, resulting in the decline of the country, internal and external troubles, economic depression, poor livelihood, and social turmoil.Under such circumstances, the production of JDZ Porcelain Industry has also been greatly affected. The level of porcelain production and the quality of porcelain have declined significantly compared with those of Yongle and Xuande in the previous dynasties.

Lao Ren looked at the pen holder and sighed: "I found a piece of Ming Dynasty blank period porcelain with a dated model in Guangdong in the early years. It was an orthodox eight-year blue and white pen holder. Cong type, hollow, there is a round hole on one side of a mountain peak and the back of the pen holder, which can be used as a water bowl. On the back of the main peak of the pen holder, there is an inscription "Orthodox Eight Years". The glaze of the pen holder is thick, white and yellow. "

After Wu Tianyuan communicated with the pen holder, he concluded: "The porcelain carcass in the blank period is relatively thick, the carcass is fine and white and moist, and the glaze color is mostly white and blue, bright and transparent, with a high degree of vitrification. There are also blue and gray, rich and colorful. The Sumali green cobalt material stored in Xuande also has rust spots."

He asked Lao Ren to put the pen holder in the Daming Treasures Hall for display. A comparison showed a huge difference, which was far from the time of Yongle Xuande.But it is also a representative of a special period, so keep it in your collection.
