Chapter 1,192: Sky-high price as soon as it appears
You know, that was in 2002, and it was more than twenty years since now.
And at that time, a small bowl appeared and could be sold for more than 10 million yuan. So how much can it be sold now?
This kind of thing is not accidental. There is also a Ding kiln black glaze flower mouth wall launched in the 2016 Shendu Zhongpai International Spring Auction, with a transaction price of 12.3941 million yuan.
Ancient guan (yi) was shaped like a scoop, used in combination with a tray, pouring water from a tray, and carrying it with a tray.
The shape of this black glaze flower mouth is actually a cup. Of course, it is a cup deformer. It is just a slight deformation, and the structure of the cup can still be seen.
Of course, it is more like a turtle, so it is called Huakou turtle.
Such unique Ding kiln black-glazed porcelain has a transaction record of tens of millions.
From this we can also see how high the quality of the finest products in Ding Kiln black glaze is!
Or is this flower mouth wall, it is 7.5cm tall and has a diameter of 25cm.
The open mouth is slightly slanted, with a six-petal lotus shape, with an oblique belly and a shallow circle foot.
The edge of the mouth of the cup is out, and the handle is arched, with no traces on it.
The whole body is covered with black glaze, the glaze color is like ink and lacquer, rich and deep.
The fetus is exposed close to the foot, and the white fetus can be seen with a delicate and solid white fetus.
The glaze color is the most beautiful hair color among black glaze, with stable and deep colors.
Look at the inside of its glaze, it shines like a starry sky, and its crystals are dark yellow-brown.
It does not show the mountains and waters from a distance, but it is hidden deep in the black glaze.
The body wall is thin and firm, the glaze is not as good as the bottom, the foot is cut flat, and the knife edge is neat and does not drag it out. This is a typical feature of Heiding in the Song Dynasty.
This black glaze flower mouth is unique and extremely rare in terms of its glaze color, body quality, shape, artistic level and scientific value.
In fact, if you look at a piece of porcelain, you should know whether it is good or not.
Ding Kiln Black Glaze, you don’t need to look at the physical body, just look at the pictures, just one glance, you can impress you.
Because the black glaze color as black as lacquer can really make people unforgettable.
Of course, the Ding Kiln black glaze in the Song Dynasty not only had high-quality products, but even the inferior products had low value.
The black-ding glaze in the Song Dynasty was divided into three levels!
To be more precise, the black dialect in the Song Dynasty can be divided into three levels from the perspective of glaze.
The first-class glaze is dark and bright, and the light can be used to capture people.
As Cao Zhao said in "Gegu's Essence" that "there is ink and color is as black as lacquer."
This type of porcelain can only be observed through the remaining fragments. You will see that its body is white, has a high degree of porcelain, has few pores on the cross-section, and it can be seen that the sintering temperature is higher.
The second-class glaze is black and yellowish-brown, the body is porcelain-like, the cross-section is not very flat, and the pores can be seen.
The third-class glaze has a "kiln-changing" color, or a light silver short rabbit hair, or a silver round oil droplet the size of a pen tip, or a brown rabbit hair like a kiln, with a sauce-colored wavy rabbit hair coming out of the black.
However, the overall theme is still black and is also classified as black.
A good quality Ding kiln, or as long as it is a Ding kiln black-glazed porcelain, will cause a sensation as long as it has appeared.
To be honest, black is rare, and it is sky-high when it appears.
Heiding porcelain has been a very precious variety since ancient times, and its value is above Baiding.
There are even fewer people who have passed down the world in the complete world. Apart from the collections of major museums, there are very few people seen in the world, which has further boosted its value.
For example, the "Black Glaze Partridge Spot Bowl" auctioned in 2002 was sold for 13.14 million yuan at the time.
This is the price in the early years. Nowadays, it is almost comparable to the "Northern Song Ding Kiln Eight-edged Bowl" sold by Jiangsu Forbes in 2014 at 146 million.
By the way, this big bowl is a piece of white glaze, not black glaze porcelain.
In the years since then, there have been few auction records of Black Ding porcelain in the Song Dynasty, which can surpass this large white glaze bowl.
Of course, this does not mean that the black glaze of Ding kiln is not as good as the white glaze, nor does it mean that the white glaze of Ding kiln is worse than the black glaze of Ding kiln.
Mainly, Ding kiln white glaze porcelain is made more, so the quality is difficult to guarantee.
However, it is precisely because Ding kiln white glaze porcelain is more fired, so as long as you are careful and with more clever craftsmanship, it will definitely be easier to produce fine products.
Because it is handy, it is natural that some rare treasures with extremely high value appear.
On the contrary, the Ding Kiln black glaze is because of the small amount of production and high quality that makes it rare and precious.
To sum up, all Ding kiln ware are elegant and refined, with bright and cute colors, and have been among the famous porcelain since ancient times.
Therefore, in recent years, Ding Kiln has become the most radiant porcelain art category in the collection market.
Whether in the domestic or international markets, its prices are showing a strong upward trend, and sky-high prices are frequently seen at auctions.
You must know that these black-glazed porcelains from Ding Kiln are not big in size.
For example, at the 2019 Christie's Xiangjiang auction, the black-glazed brown spotted bellows tray in the Northern Song Dynasty Ding Kiln was sold at a transaction price of 10.2 million yuan.
This lot has a smooth black glaze, a exposed body with a ring foot, a thin porcelain body, a thin wall, a light body, and a typical Ding kiln black glaze ware.
The white glaze ware in Ding kiln is mostly over-fired, with a ring-feet full glaze, while the black-firing ware is the opposite, with the main burning, and the edges are not glazed, revealing the hard and fine white body soil.
Like the Ding Kiln white glaze ware, the black dialer has the same thin walls and is lightweight.
"Heiding" instruments are very rare, and they are even more rare than those of the imperial Ru kiln and official kilns.
Therefore, these bowls and plates that cannot be sold in the antique market can often be sold at sky-high prices as soon as they are born.
You know, Ding Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty is also considered ancient porcelain, right?
It seems that except for the works of the five famous kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty, other ancient porcelains are difficult to sell for tens of millions.
However, the porcelain in Ding Kiln is different. Whether it is black glaze or white glaze, as long as it appears, there is no less than one million.
Often, it is four or five million, six or seven million, and the quality is slightly better, it will exceed tens of millions.
If the device is slightly larger, it will be no surprise that it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Chen Wenzhe will definitely have a lot of motivation to imitate such porcelain.
Chen Wenzhe is already very experienced in imitating antique porcelain, and there are some special imitations of Ding Kiln porcelain.
Because it was found in the Tang Dynasty, it can be imitated by the Ding Kiln of the Tang Dynasty or the Ding Kiln of the Song Dynasty.
Later there were Liao, Jin, Yuan, etc., and there were Ding kiln products, or Ding kiln imitations during these periods.
Now Chen Wenzhe is in the learning stage, and as long as the skills he wants to learn, they will learn them completely from beginning to end.
According to the previous learning routine, the first one to imitate must be the instrument type.
If you want to imitate well, you must first understand its shape. The shape of the Ding Kiln is particularly important.
Because the Ding kiln has a wide variety of shapes, such as plates, bowls, lamps, stoves, boxes, bottles, pillows, musical instruments, etc., there are almost everything.
Among them, the production volume of plates and bowls is the largest.
About 80% of the porcelain pieces remaining in the kiln site are plates and bowls.
