Chapter 156(1/2)

After arriving at the Port City, Xia Yu took action alone to get things.

When he was in the car, he asked Bai Yujiao to take what he had brought to Bai Gaoze and the others first.

He would say it later, so they wouldn't have to wait for him to have supper, he would just eat something outside.

Bai Yujiao didn't force herself, just let him pay attention to safety.

Then, she and Bai Gaorui took a taxi directly to Bai Gaoze’s villa in Shenwan.

Several pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain are now placed in the villa, but the "Izumo Xuan" on the antique street is not placed, so the villa is safer.

When the two arrived, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

They notified Bai Gaoze in advance that it closed early on the Antique Street and closed at 3 pm and went home.

Everyone knew why the two of them came here. After entering the house and making polite confrontation with Bai Gaoze and his wife, Bai Yujiao also took out the tea, saffron and seahorse wine brought by Xia Yu.

Bai Gaoze couldn't stop smiling, but said, "Just come here, don't be so polite and bring gifts."

Bai Yu said, "Ayu knew that grandpa liked drinking tea, so he specially made it. There were not many, so he could only try it."

Bai Gaorui also revealed that they had drunk it before, and the tea is indeed the top, but it is too little.

Bai Gaoze expressed his understanding, "There is no greater amount of good tea. I can taste tea while tasting porcelain, and life will be happy."

Grandma also asked Xia Yu that the saffron he brought before was of very high quality. After they drank the saffron soaked in water, they felt that the effect was quite good.

As for seahorse wine, men like it. Last time Bai Haoxuan asked Xia Yu with shamelessness. This made him get what he wanted!

Bai Yu replied with a giggle, "Thank you grandma for your concern. He has gone to pick up the things. It will not be later, so we don't have to wait for him to have a meal."

Bai Yujiao also said she was helping with the cooking, but grandma even said she didn't need it, just let them be busy with their own affairs.

If you are all your family, you don’t have to be so polite. When boiling water and preparing to make tea.

Bai Gaoze and Bai Gaorui also brought Bai Yujiao with them to take out the three pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain brought by Xia Yu from behind.

A pair of high-foot cups of Yuan blue and white porcelain and a jade pot spring bottle are all preserved in an extremely complete manner, and their value is naturally quite considerable.

Bai Gaoze has been working on it every day these days, so he will make tea and taste tea first.

He also found that Bai Gaorui did not brag. The two kinds of tea they brought, green tea and oolong tea, had not started to be brewed yet. It was extraordinary to just look at the appearance and smell the fragrance.

When soaking in boiling water, the tea leaves will become more and more beautiful.

Bai Gaorui and Bai Yujiao will concentrate on appreciating the beautiful Yuan blue and white porcelain, while Bai Gaoze will carefully savor this rare and good tea.

There is no doubt about the authenticity of several Yuan blue and white pieces. The grandfather and grandson also came for appreciation. They touched and looked at them in person, which was the greatest satisfaction.

While drinking tea, Bai Gaoze also explored the deeper mysteries of these Yuan blue and white porcelain with them.

Until 7:30 pm, Bai Hanfei and his wife were preparing to start their meal after they returned home.

Bai Haoxuan has been unrestrained, and no one has to wait for him deliberately.

Xia Yu didn't arrive at the villa until almost nine o'clock, and he also took over his belongings and packed them in cardboard boxes.

Grandma cares whether he has eaten or not, and he says he doesn't have to bother her after eating it.

He was actually spending time outside, and he ate seafood himself in the space. He ate alone and ate even more delicious than their dinner.

Bai Hanfei and his wife were not very interested in antiques, but they all liked other good things Xia Yu brought with them.

Bai Hanfei also loves to drink tea and is also interested in Haima wine.

Bai Hanfei's wife would not refuse saffron, especially after she drank it for a while.

The main venue for the appraisal was also transferred to the study room, and the appraisal was still done while drinking tea.

Bai Yujiao likes this "unboxing" process the most, but Xia Yu spoiled in advance and said that the price of the thing this time is not high.

"After seeing Yuan blue and white porcelain, it is difficult to find porcelain with higher prices than it." Bai Yujiao saw it very thoroughly, and she also knew that what he brought this time was probably to find something on the shipwreck in Annan.

Bai Gaoze and Bai Gaorui both laughed and waited for Xia Yu to unbox.

What he brought here this time were all small pieces of porcelain, which was not very big, and the box was not big.

Of course, what he took out was basically porcelain of complete quality.

If it is damaged or just a piece of porcelain, he is too lazy to make trouble.

What he took out first was a small blue and white bowl with Butterfly Flower pattern, which was still as usual, wrapped tightly in bubble paper. Even if it was long-distance transportation or violent express delivery, it would not be damaged in general.

He put it on the table first, and then Bai Gaorui carefully took it for appreciation.

The lights at night still have some impact on the identification of porcelain.

But this is actually quite good. You have to go to Taobao in Tianguangxu and "Ghost Market" to have poor lighting effects. The strong light flashlight you carry is the most reliable and reliable identification tool.

Bai Gaorui has the two most important and firm instruments, such as the strong light flashlight and magnifying glass, and he uses it the most convenient.

The outer wall of this blue and white bowl is decorated with scattered butterfly patterns, and flowers and butterflies are painted with light green materials, with orchids and elegant hair.

The signature at the bottom is a blue and white circle, with "made in Chenghua Nian" written inside, and the four characters and two lines of running script are neat and elegant, vigorous, as if written on paper.

As an old expert in porcelain identification, Bai Gaorui would not judge that this was made during the Chenghua period just because he had such a Chenghua model.

We also need to examine more characteristics of porcelain. There are very few porcelains that have truly survived during the Chenghua period.

It is hard to say whether there is a "made in Chenghua Year" or something like this.

It is generally believed that those who know such a piece are all the money they hold for later generations.

But why using such a symbol that was obviously not available at that time as a support model is also a mystery. It is very likely that there was indeed a symbol of "made in the Chenghua Year" during the Chenghua period, but the people behind them did not have the chance to see the authentic product.

Regardless of these, you can also get a glimpse of the way you draw branches, flowers and butterflies.

On this porcelain, it is obvious that you first draw double-drawn lines, then divide water and disperse halo, so that the picture reaches more than two color levels, thereby increasing the layering and infectiousness of the picture.

Painting is casual and vivid, and there is a level of level, but can we say that it has reached the level of blue and white fireworks during the Chenghua period?

Bai Gaorui felt it was a bit reluctant.

After a brief identification, he also gave Bai Gaoze a look.

Bai Yujiao is helping Xia Yu unboxing...

After Bai Gaoze also started to identify the two old men inspected Bai Yujiao.

As for Xia Yu, the porcelain he made himself should be the clearest.

Bai Yujiao didn't ask Xia Yu for help, and made a judgment based entirely on her own level and insight.

She is not afraid of being embarrassed, and it is nothing if she says it wrong. "The meaning of this style made in the Chenghua year is still somewhat different from the porcelain made in the Chenghua year."

"From the patterns and painting techniques on the porcelain, I prefer to be the sustenance of later generations. And it is not the Chenghua style that the Kangxi official kiln likes to imitate. It is the decline of the official kiln in the late Ming Dynasty and the level of the folk kilns keeps up, and the style of the sustenance of the fired porcelain is similar."

"The same style can be seen in the unearthed, from the Tianqi to the early Chongzhen period, blue and white flower butterfly pattern plum vases, and blue and white sacred butterfly pattern jade pot spring vases. These are relatively certain ages, and the Tianqi blue and white porcelain standardware. During this period, folk kilns also fired large quantities of sustenance porcelain.

The two old men looked at each other and laughed. Bai Yujiao's judgment was the same as their identification results. They also asked Xia Yu, "A Yu, what do you think!"

"I agree with Xiaojiao's appraisal." Xia Yu replied with a smile.

Bai Yujiao is not arrogant either, "Grandpa has taught me well since childhood. If I hadn't seen so many standard porcelain pieces, I wouldn't be able to make an accurate judgment."

Bai Gaoze also smiled and nodded, "You need to watch more porcelain and get started with it. The more you master the relevant historical and cultural knowledge, the better."

Such folk kiln blue and white porcelain from the Tianqi period, Chenghua subsidies, even though the quality is particularly well preserved, the market price is not high.

Because even the magnetic goods of the Tianqi Official Kiln are not at high prices, and there are very few fine products that can exceed one million.

If a blue and white bowl like this can be sold for 30,000 yuan, it would be very good.

But several people were particularly interested in collecting antiques, not just focusing on market prices.

Identification and collection itself is a kind of fun.

It’s not that low-priced cultural relics are boring and have no collection value.

They also continued to identify other porcelains that Xia Yu brought.

The same is known as the Chenghua period, with blue and white circles, regular script "made in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty", and blue and white landscape characters bowls.

On the outer wall of the blue and white bowl, a close-up picture of a fisherman's boat is painted. The red sun hangs high in the distance, the mountains are connected, there are trees by the river, and reeds swaying in the river.

The picture is simple and sparse, the blue and white hair color is elegant, the painting style is fresh and natural, rich in humanistic atmosphere, and the artistic conception is quiet, which is also a relatively obvious feature of the Apocalypse period.

This is also a fine folk kiln small bowl, and the identification results of several people are almost the same.

The picture above is also a popular printmaking that depicts the paintings of Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

There is also a blue and white figure bowl, and the style is also "made in the Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty".

The characteristics of this bowl are becoming more and more obvious in the era, mainly because there is a "back" on the porcelain.

On the back, curly cloud patterns and steep rocks are used to separate the two sections of the picture, and run through the picture from top to bottom. The problem of how to paint on paper and express it on a circular object is solved.

Bai Gaorui and Bai Gaoze are both knowledgeable people, and they immediately thought of the famous "Blue and White Three Kingdoms Story Picture Incense Burner".

This is a standard tool with clear records of the times, from Jingdezhen, which was in the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty's Tianqi period.

However, the collection is in the British Museum, and it was previously borrowed to be exhibited in China.

The collection tells the story of Zhao Zilong riding alone to save Adou, which is also proof that there is a "back" phenomenon that first appeared.
