Chapter 344 The 'opening' plum bottle

Zhao Yun took the pen from the young man's hand to wash it, put it in his hand, and gently stroked it. He didn't say that he had a detailed look at his own things, at least every time he saw something, he could quickly think of its origin and his own opinion on this porcelain. The glaze color of the pen washing in front of him was bean-green, and some orange peel patterns could be clearly seen on it, which was also a relatively distinctive glaze color. At the bottom of the pen washing, there were six large characters, three-line seal script styles of "Made in Jiaqing Year of the Qing Dynasty".

"What do you think of this pen washing?" Zhao Yun sighed, and did not rush to explain this thing, but instead asked first.

"Me?" The young man was obviously a little surprised. Then he considered the words and said, "I can't say this. I just know that looking at the brush and washing the bottom of the pen should be something from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty."

Suddenly, Zhao Yun rolled his eyes with anger. Who wouldn't recognize the words clearly written?

Sitting quietly next to him, occasionally looking at Jia Sidao, who was collected by Zhao Yun, couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. This answer really means something, but there is a bit of meaning in his words. He couldn't help but blurt out and said, "Do you believe that the handwriting on the bottom is true or aging? Or, it means that the pen washes open the door but not the door, or, it means that the top part of the pen washes is old, and only the bottom part is real, or,"

"All right, Xiao Jia, don't 'or'. If you continue talking, you must make people faint." A San next to him also said with a smile, "Only, when you don't see it accurately, even experts will be ambiguous. Don't care."

This last sentence was obviously directed at the young man who was asking.

Zhao Yun had nothing to ask about this. The other party's reaction was a novice who could not be more new. He could only start from the most basic explanation: "First, the name of this pen washing is called bean green glaze pile powder blue and white. When it is fired, it first applies a layer of white powder according to the general shape of the pattern on the body, and then paints a pattern on the white powder, and finally applies bean green glaze and is fired in the kiln."

"So complicated?" The young man was obviously stunned.

"Haha, this is not the most complicated thing for the firing of porcelain." Zhao Yun smiled happily and said, "Let's look at this pen washing. The white powder on the blue and white in the making process naturally plays a role in setting off the blue and white. After the fire is successful, the contrast between the blue and white color materials and the bean and green glaze can be made more obvious. At the same time, this kind of powdered blue and white powder is mostly thicker and whiter, so the three-dimensional feeling is stronger, which is very popular in the middle of the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty."

As Zhao Yun said, the young man stood on the side and nodded. Looking at the two of them, how they looked like an outstanding teacher, teaching a student who was studying hard!

At the end, Zhao Yun had to sigh and said, "But there were a lot of cracks on this pen washing, which should have been repaired after it was broken. I once showed it to an elder in the pawn shop, and he also agreed with my point of view. What's more unfortunate is that during the repair process, the original fragments were not completely collected, including two small pieces, which were added later."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun looked at Jia Si with some admiration and said, "I have to admire Xiao Jia's eyesight. By sitting so far, you can see that this pen washing is a half-true and half-false work."

After saying this, Jia Sidao was stunned. Asan laughed loudly, and the young man who asked about the brush and couldn't help but smile.

"I happened to guess it by chance." Jia Sidao said, "However, I just used a few 'or', but I just guessed that there was such a possibility. Speaking of which, I still have to rely on you for blessings."

Jia Sidao said to the young man, "If it weren't for the words you rude before, I wouldn't have had so many 'or'."

"That's it." A San added on the side, "In fact, this brush washing, from the specific details, is one aspect. When I looked at it from a distance, I felt that the glaze color on it seemed a bit hard and not round enough. Although it was more vivid, it gave people a feeling of not being very smooth and complete. So, I was wondering whether this thing was suspected of being old. As a result, it was when it was repaired, and it was not completely used to open the door. No wonder."

"Any piece of porcelain, after you take it, if you initially think it is true, then you will feel it is true as you look at it. Even if the thing is fake, it is difficult for you to see the problem." Jia Sidao continued, "But if you say that when you start, you will be skeptical, then, as you look at it, you may find some doubts. I think Ah San must have just used this mentality, so he used the identification like this?"

"Tsk! I didn't say anything!" Asan snapped his fingers at Jia Sidao and praised him proudly. I don't know if he was praising his appraisal mentality, which was more appropriate, or was praising Jia Sidao's understanding of him!

"However, I have summarized that so far, Xiao Zhao's two porcelain pieces are actually damaged. Whether it is the previous plate or the current brush washing, I thought, Xiao Zhao," Jia Sidao sighed a little, called Zhao Yun, and said, "Is it the porcelain in your collection that is all like this? Or do you have a special liking for this type of porcelain?"

"Uh, this," Zhao Yun was a little ashamed. He said with his own expression, "Actually, it's not liked these or repaired or some porcelains that were more popular. It was just by chance that these porcelains were transferred to my hands. It was better than nothing."

Whoever likes to collect things, who doesn’t like what they collect, is a valuable tool for the country? However, due to personal financial resources, luck and other ingredients, every collector will have corresponding treasures at hand.

"By the way, A San, please help me see this porcelain." Perhaps seeing A San being idle and looking a little proud, Zhao Yun picked up a plum vase from the edge of the coffee table and sent it to A San. "This plum vase is a complete shape. However, I am not sure if I look at it myself. It was last year, I took it myself."

"Oh?" Asan asked in confusion, "How much did it cost?"

"The money spent is quite a lot. It's nearly 10,000 yuan." Zhao Yun said with a wry smile, "However, I have never been sure about this thing in my heart. So I didn't ask anyone to help me with the palms or the like."

"I spent 10,000 yuan, but I didn't ask anyone to help me? You are really amazing." Xiaoqian next to me muttered, "If I had 10,000 yuan, I would definitely not buy a vase to play with." It turns out that this person, at this moment, did not really understand the value of porcelain collection.

"What do you think?" Asan asked.

"I'm thinking, there's a high chance that this thing is true. Otherwise, I won't spend 10,000 yuan." Zhao Yun replied nervously. However, Asan lowered his head and said nothing, and started to use the plum vase. If he could just "think about" the authenticity of the porcelain, then where did so many old porcelains come from on the market?

Jia Sidao was naturally not scared by the nearly 10,000 yuan that Zhao Yun said. If the thing was true, not to mention 10,000 yuan, even if it could be collected by 100,000 yuan, it would be absolutely cost-effective. Immediately, I came over and checked it carefully. As for Xiaoqian next to me, she looked at the plum vase and widened her eyes curiously, as if she wanted to see why someone would spend 10,000 yuan.

You know, from just now, Ah San has been explaining for her why that plate is not very valuable.

Xiaoqian naturally thought about learning and applying it. However, before she could take a few serious eyes, Xiaoqian said to the people: "There are so many cracks on the surface of this bottle. Well, it is a porcelain that is not of good quality, and it should not be worth much, right?"

Then, seeing several people staring at her in surprise, Xiaoqian couldn't help but add, saying, "Of course, what I said is not worth much, it has a basic foundation. That is, compared with porcelain with the same type of porcelain of the same type with complete appearance, the price of this bottle is slightly different, a little bit less."

"Ha.——" Jia Sidao glanced at A San, his expression was speechless.

As if to hide her embarrassment, A San coughed a few times before pointing at the cracks on the surface of the plum bottle and said to Xiaoqian: "The cracks you mentioned are the ones you mean?" Seeing Xiaoqian nodding, A San did not hesitate. Judging from Xiaoqian's last words, she was still listening very seriously what A San said just now. Otherwise, she would not have added such a sentence.

At this moment, A San said very simply: "The cracks on the glaze surface of the porcelain do not mean that the porcelain is of bad quality. On the contrary, these cracks are naturally formed, commonly known as "opening pieces". They were originally a diseased glaze phenomenon caused by the firing of porcelain. In the Song Dynasty, "opening pieces" began to appear "opening pieces" that deliberately used it as decoration, just like the porcelain of Ru, Guan and Gezhu kilns in the five famous kilns. This is the case. In addition, some ancient porcelains that do not have open pieces, such as blue and white porcelain and underglaze red porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, because of the aging under certain environmental conditions, the phenomenon of "opening pieces" will naturally occur after aging over time."

"So, as long as there are these 'open-piece' on porcelain, they should be good porcelain?" Xiaoqian said, with a look of yearning on her face, as if she was savoring something, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but mutter, "Those are five famous kilns. Moreover, Yuan blue and white and underglaze red seem to be very valuable and famous."

Well, the little girl is starting to imagine.

"I said, are you still listening to my explanation?" Asan touched Xiaoqian with his elbow and said, "If you don't plan to listen, then stand aside, which will be a little hindering me now."

"Oh." Xiaoqian nodded consciously and took a step back. Her obedient appearance immediately made A San's nagging become useless. It was like a punch hitting a cotton, with nowhere to use it!

"Forget it, I won't see you little girl." Asan said speechlessly. Such thoughts were not spoken, but as soon as they said them, everyone felt that Xiaoqian was just a younger generation, and suddenly, she naturally smiled. Xiaoqian gave A San a angrily glance.

Originally, Jia Sidao thought that Xiaoqian might continue to chase A San and fight for a while, but in the end, she failed. Seeing Xiaoqian seemed to be a little stuffy. Jia Sidao understood that it was not because everyone was at Zhao Yun's house, but there should be a lot of porcelain placed in the living room. Xiaoqian was afraid that she would accidentally encounter these porcelains while chasing and making noise?

Simple and cute, but know how to advance and retreat! Jia Sidao couldn't help but feel a little happy about the salesperson of the jade store recommended by A San.

If Xiaoqian is just fighting with friends like A San and doesn't know how to advance or retreat, she is not suitable for antique collection. And Jia Sidao's jade shop will not need a salesperson who is ignorant of the importance of the jade jewelry. Although the care of jade jewelry is not as exquisite as porcelain, it is not something that can be handled by sloppy.

Perhaps it was a bit rare to see Xiaoqian sulking. Jia Sidao took a few more glances. Then, it seemed that he was a misunderstanding, so he helped Xiaoqian argue and said, "In fact, what Xiaoqian said is not without reason. In the past, many experienced collectors often used the "open pieces" on the porcelain as an important parameter to determine whether some ancient porcelain is true or not. Therefore, once they found that there are "open pieces" on this type of porcelain, they can basically be judged as authentic."

Xiaoqian couldn't help but glared at A San with pride, as if saying: Did you hear it? What the girl said was not all unreasonable.

However, A San ignored Xiaoqian's demonstration. Instead, he looked at the other young collectors in the street. Seeing that they seemed to be like Xiaoqian, they seemed to be a little misled by Jia Sidao. He couldn't help but continue Jia Sidao's words and said, "It seems that you still have a long way to go to get started in the porcelain industry. Xiaojia said something just now on purpose to help Xiaoqian excuse him. Can you not hear it?"

As he said that, A San looked at Xiaoqian intentionally or unintentionally, and then said, "If you listen carefully, you can definitely feel it. The method Xiao Jia said is about the past. What does the word "former" mean? That means, in this day and age, it will not work."

"Uh, no?" As soon as A San said this, even Zhao Yun couldn't help it.

Jia Sidao looked at this plum vase carefully. On the first day of the first lunar month, it was indeed a "Yuan blue and white plum vase" that looked very "open doors to generations". There was also a bell-shaped cover on it. The cover button was decorated with lotus petal patterns and the cover surface was hooked clouds, which was similar to the cloud head of Ruyi. As for the wall of the plum vase, there were cherries with broken branches. The shoulders of the utensils were decorated with Ruyi cloud bands, and various flowers were also decorated with various patterns. On the abdomen, the main patterns were bamboo and peaches, and the lower part was decorated with tangled Ganoderma lucidum patterns surrounding the bottle. There were several hierarchical patterns as the boundary between the various patterns. Moreover, the surface of the porcelain was covered with large and small open patterns.

If you want to call it, this should be a Yuan blue and white peach and bamboo pattern plum vase!

Jia Sidao guessed that with Zhao Yun's eyesight, or, when Zhao Yun paid for this thing, although it was not entirely judged by the "opening" on the surface of the porcelain, this was definitely one of the reasons.

In addition, the formation of the plum vase, the porcelain type was originally created in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was named because the mouth of the bottle was so small that it could only accommodate the plum branches in the socket.

From the appearance of the plum vase in front of me, it has a small mouth, a short neck, a plump shoulder, a thin top and a thick bottom. It has a relatively majestic shape, which is quite consistent with the characteristics of the plum vase in the Yuan Dynasty, especially in terms of the overall shape, and there is nothing to be picky about. Moreover, when A San placed the plum vase in his hand on the ground, Jia Sidao also took it and felt it, but he found that the opening on the surface of the plum vase was quite natural.

Therefore, in Jia Sidao's opinion, Zhao Yun should be the type who likes this plum vase, and he is very much looking forward to it being a real thing, so this mentality is understandable.

However, it was precisely because of this that Jia Sidao shook his head and sighed.
