Chapter 126 Yuan Qing(1/2)
Bai Gaorui couldn't put down these two Yuan blue and white porcelain pieces. After some appraisal, he took Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao to the attic.
There are Yuan blue and white flowers he collected on it.
Xia Yu was not surprised by this, and he said that he was collecting now, and there were not many Yuan blue and white pieces at home, so he was embarrassed to say hello to others.
Bai Gaorui has been in the antique business for decades, and naturally there are Yuan blue and white porcelains at home, and there are more than one piece.
Of course, his likeness is considered a folk Yuan blue and white porcelain. It is still unknown whether other experts, museums and other people can recognize it.
Bai Gaorui had no idea of using it for other people to appraise it, at most, just a few friends to enjoy it.
The small jar of blue and white chrysanthemum pattern he took out first was only ten centimeters tall, and the appearance was not complete, and there were some cracks on his neck.
The most obvious thing is that there is the unique Flint Red, which is the Yuan blue and white, and Bai Gaorui also said happily, "This is what I bought at the Tianguang Ruins Market for 500 yuan."
I heard the story of Bai Yujiao a lot and said with a smile, "The 500 yuan I spent more than 20 years ago was actually not much."
Xia Yu said, "The value now should be about 100,000 yuan. Grandpa is so strong."
Bai Gaorui still regretted it a little, "In fact, there were many Yuan blue and white porcelain who were in charge at the beginning, but many of them were unable to stay by themselves."
"This is how you do business, you have to go in and out." Bai Yujiao said that they are actually considered to be a collection of storage. "Those who can really collect must have strong funds to support."
Bai Gaorui also nodded, "It's really not a big money to do antique business, so many big collectors come to us to collect after making a lot of money in other aspects."
While speaking, Xia Yu also carefully admired the small blue and white jar.
Among the porcelain he salvaged, there are more than twenty pieces similar to this one. Such small jars should be used for playing with them.
Bai Gaorui took out his other Yuan blue and white collection. Bai Yujiao had seen it a long time ago. Last time, Bai Gaorui had too many good collections at Xia Yu's house and did not have time to show it to him.
This is a Yuan blue and white cloud dragon pattern with folded edges, folded edges at the mouth, and flat bottoms at the arc.
It is very large, with a diameter of about thirty centimeters and a very distinct layer.
The most eye-catching thing is the dragon pattern in the plate, which flies forward and whirls forward. It opens its mouth and glares, and its body twists and changes strongly, making the dragon pattern more dynamic.
The inner wall is painted with "wrapped lotus patterns", and each has its own posture when it is pitched and backward. The gourd-shaped leaves are also a feature of the Yuan Dynasty.
The edge of the mouth is painted with honeysuckle patterns, and the outer mural has a "variant lotus petal pattern" for a week, highlighting its layered beauty.
The shape of the instrument and the hair color of the blue and white are all standard styles of the Yuan blue and white.
The blue and white hair color is bright and deep, and "rust spots" faintly flashes, which is caused by the high iron content of imported cobalt materials.
The quality of this cloud dragon pattern plate is not particularly complete. There are many wear marks on the edge of the plate, revealing the flint red color inside.
Fortunately, the blue and white flowers in the plate are well preserved and there is no wear and tear.
Xia Yu also discovered many blue and white large plates of the same shape in the Yuan Dynasty shipwreck on Jizhou Island.
Of course, it can also be said that on the market, the fake Yuan blue and white are basically based on the standard devices of Yuan blue and white.
But counterfeiters will also open their brains and make some similar patterns.
For example, the most precious story of Yuan blue and white, which is even more severely affected. Basically, the ancient story pictures you can think of are painted and burned for you.
Now, for comparison, the "Manchijiao" porcelain piece he brought, which is from a blue and white plate.
As for Bai Gaorui's Yunlong pattern folded edge plate, he identified it as true, "Grandpa's collection is really good, this large plate is priceless."
Bai Gaorui smiled and said, "It's not worth a lot, but it's still okay for four or five million."
Bai Yujiao, who was standing beside him, also revealed, "Some people who have a grandfather who is up to five million will not be willing to give up their love."
Bai Gaorui said, "This kind of good thing is becoming less and less common. If you can keep it yourself, you will keep it yourself."
Xia Yu naturally gave it to him. If these collections were kept for sale, they would probably be passed on to Bai Yujiao in the end.
As for Xia Yu himself, he has too many good things in his hands, so he doesn't want to be Bai Gaorui's collection.
Everyone discussed it together, and then Bai Gaorui said that Xia Yu was taking the test, and Bai Yujiao was laughing at him, but she didn't give him any tips.
He pointed to two large blue and white jars and asked Xia Yu, "Ayu, see which one is real?"
In fact, these two large jars were already within Xia Yu's sight. Not only were the size of these 30 centimeters high, but they were also heavier, basically above 20 kilograms.
But they are not some character story picture jars. After all, that thing is too rare. Two of them appear at once, which is really a bit insulting to people's IQ.
These two large blue and white jars, which are almost identical, are all wrapped in peony patterns.
There is actually no problem just looking at the shape of the instrument. High-defense products are all based on the standard instrument shape.
And this pair of blue and white jars even have flint red at the bottom, which is already quite high.
At this time, it is necessary to analyze the source of the porcelain.
There are only a few types of porcelain that can be passed down to this day, which exist in the world, are stored in cellars, unearthed and watered.
Obviously, it was not water or unearthed. Although Makang soil was used, the new and old of the body and wear of the bottom part could be used as a basis for a certain basis.
But looking at the color of blue and white hair carefully, there is still a big difference between what is shown by the "Su Mali Qing" material used in the real Yuan blue and white blue and white blue.
The real "Su Maliqing" material is made with "smooth".
The real Sumaliqing was unable to process the ore very evenly because the technology at that time. Particles of different sizes would produce many subtle natural phenomena when the flow of particles in the flames.
Modern chemical materials can only be drawn by brushes. The human-made parts are very obvious and will appear dull without "flashing blue".
Other phenomena such as the changes in the color of blue and white hair, as well as the formation of beading, are also important basis for identifying the Yuan blue and white Sumali blue material.
Xia Yu was also very dedicated to the appraisal.
Bai Gaorui asked him to do an appraisal, but he didn't do it perfunctorily, let him use a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight.
In addition to using these two things to observe from the porcelain at close distance.
He also placed Yuan blue and white porcelain under natural light and it was also important to keep a distance for observation.
This principle still lies in the word "Flashing" with the blue and white glaze on the Yuan blue and white glaze. The blue and blue glaze on the blue glaze under natural light will inevitably have various situations.
By constantly adjusting the distance from the observed Yuan blue and white porcelain, the glaze color will also change differently, and it will complement each other with the hair color of blue and white porcelain.
This has also become a kind of fun and enjoyment for viewing Yuan blue and white porcelain.
Seeing that he was so "playable", Bai Gaorui couldn't help but nod and smile with Bai Yujiao knowingly.
In China, the study of Yuan blue and white porcelain has not been long, and it can even be said to be particularly late.
However, Yuan blue and white porcelain not only needs to look at the shape of the instrument, hair color, painting skills, etc. Only when you can appreciate the glaze and discover its subtlety can you be called a real understanding of Yuan blue and white porcelain.
In Fusang, Yuan blue and white research focuses on the glaze of the glaze because the glaze changes infinitely and dynamically react.
This is consistent with the glaze accumulation in domestic books.
The result of their research was that after more than 600 years, Yuan blue and white porcelain had unseen concave convexities on the surface that were invisible to the naked eye. Their reflection was not like the straight reflection of just-burned porcelain like a mirror, but was multi-angle.
Once a person's eyes or light source moves, this kind of reflection suddenly becomes "chaotic". The reflection of this light has a sense of layering, overlapping, and will be dazzled to a certain extent.
Sometimes there is a confused face, but there are small faces that emit strong light below this face. Fusang scholars pay special attention to this characteristic of Yuan blue and white, and call it "chaotic reflection".
This is exactly the same as the treasure light phenomenon we often say. We describe it as warm, inner, jade-like texture, etc.
The extremely fine concave and convex convexity of the glaze not only changes the reflection of light, but when touched with your hands, it is different from the sound emitted by the smooth glaze that just burned out like a piece of glass. After all, the friction coefficient is different.
Based on this principle, when Xia Yu was identifying, he also used his fingers to gently stroke the edge of the mouth and listened to his voice.
When tapping the bottom, the difference between the authentic and imitation is even more obvious.
At the same time, the tide and dryness at the bottom of the fetus are also different.
Finally, Xia Yu's identification result was that "these two large jars of peony flowers and blue and white flowers are not real!"
Bai Gaorui asked him to give him a reason, and Xia Yu also explained his understanding and opinions, which also made Bai Gaorui nod. Both of his items were high-quality imitations.
But this is actually nothing. He finally revealed a major news, "There are similar blue and white jars among the complete devices I discovered on Jizhou Island, and there are more than one or two."
Bai Gaorui and Bai Yujiao were immediately bombarded. What is the concept of more than one similar Yuan blue and white jar?
If this is a complete Yuan blue and white jar, if it is true, the price will basically not be less than 20 million.
Many more items?
But this is actually conceivable. The number of porcelain carried on a merchant ship is tens of thousands. Especially for such ocean-going trade merchant ships, the ships excavated in China are fine. Some of them are only used for moving houses. It is already a great surprise to find three or four pieces of Yuan blue and white.
Xia Yu, the Yuan Dynasty merchant ship found in the waters of Jizhou Island, carries Yuan blue and white, not only tens of thousands of pieces, but at least the number will exceed 1,000.
If he could get all the treasures in this ship back, he would live a very relaxed and comfortable life even if he didn't have to do anything for the rest of his life.
But now they couldn't ask too much, and they didn't know how he planned to get it back. This was not an easy task.
In comparison, the number of Yuan blue and white porcelain collected by Bai Gaorui is really not enough to see.
Of course, it's not just him.
The number of Yuan blue and white in museums around the world may not be as high as that of a single wreck.
As for the folk Yuan blue and white porcelain, such as the current ones, counting the number of Yuan blue and white porcelain in the world, it is definitely impossible to calculate it.
Therefore, Bai Gaorui did not have to hide his strength as an antique dealer for so many years, and took out a good thing that Bai Yu praised as "the bottom of the box" for Xia Yu to appreciate.
This is also a blue and white plate folding edge plate, but it is much larger than before, with a diameter of nearly half a meter, to be precise, 48cm.
The pattern in the middle is the fish and algae pattern, with wide mouth folded edges of the large plate, shallow arc walls, circle feet, and thick and atmospheric body.
