Chapter 352
True and False Next
Looking at the jade pot spring bottle in my hand, it makes people feel illuminated in visual effect. It is quite impressive in height, about twenty centimeters. The edge of the bottle mouth is a little outward, the slender neck has sloping shoulders, a wide belly is slightly drooping, and the ring foot is that the bottom foot is relatively wide and short, and the bottom part is covered with white glaze, and there is no sign on it.
In addition, the edge of the mouth and the outer part is painted with a circle of curled branches. The upper half of the neck is also painted with six thin banana leaves. The lower half is decorated with back patterns and water patterns. The abdomen is painted with tangled mountain chrysanthemums. The flowers are oval in shape, with lush and full leaves. Jia Sidao looked at it and felt a bit like a screw, which is very charming. On the edge of the ring foot at the bottom, there are also some curled leaves patterned borders.
Judging from the various manifestations of such a jade pot spring bottle, it should belong to the style of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. If the thing is right, its price will naturally be expensive!
Involuntarily, information about the Yuhu Chun Bottle in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty emerged.
The real Jingdezhen official kiln jade pot spring bottle in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty was actually as beautiful as its name. In the words of the book, it was the shape of solid and heavy, without losing its elegance. The shape curves were smooth and natural from the mouth to the bottom, and were completely completed in one go.
The slight mouth, thin neck and drooping belly of the Yuhu Chun bottle are all done at the moment when it is broken by hand. It is based on the feeling of a craftsman. The undried clay tire must be pulled into shape on the rapidly rotating pottery wheel. The finished products are similar. As for the Yuhu Chun bottle, some are taller, some are shorter, some are wider, and some are thinner, but the overall shape is the same, and they belong to the same pattern and the same style, and there are not many differences.
This is the style and style of the times.
It is precisely because of this that Jia Sidao looked at the jade pot and spring bottle in front of him that he could judge from the shape, which should belong to the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is just a preliminary judgment. Whether it is the porcelain from that period needs to be carefully checked.
However, it is still very difficult for a company of porcelain to identify some high-quality imitations with Jia Sidao's current eyesight. Could it be to use his own supernatural perception to try it? When this idea suddenly flashed through Jia Sidao's mind, he was shocked by his own whimsical thoughts.
However, since you have already thought of this jade pot and spring bottle in your hands, what's the point of trying it out with the perception of supernatural powers? At least, Jia Sidao used supernatural powers to sense and specially felt a lot of porcelain.
Whether it is the collected pieces of porcelain, the modern porcelain bowls at home, etc.
It was just the result of supernatural perception that made Jia Sidao laugh a little. Even so, Jia Sidao also summarized it. For example, different eras, especially those with relatively long distances, are like broken porcelain pieces from the Han Dynasty and broken porcelain pieces from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The feelings revealed by supernatural perception are definitely completely different textures.
As for the person in front of him from the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Jia Sidao was not very sure. Fortunately, after the detection of supernatural perception, Jia Sidao looked a little familiar with the feeling that suddenly appeared in his mind!
Could it be that I have also explored porcelain from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty before?
Jia Sidao couldn't remember when he had collected porcelain from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Or, there were fragments of porcelain from such eras in piles of broken porcelain. However, when Jia Sidao's supernatural perception gradually penetrated into the body of the entire porcelain, several crack marks suddenly appeared actually shocked him!
It turned out to be repaired.
Jia Sidao could not control his inner surprise, and almost even the expression on his face began to turn pale. An uncontrollable thought came to his mind: The thing on the white jade pendant is undoubtedly inferior, so what about a jade pot spring bottle in front of him? So, is the whole process of the incident a designed trap?
Jia Sidao subconsciously glanced at the man surnamed Hu and his wife, then looked at Zhang San, Li Gou, Xiao Ma and A San. The people in front were sitting on the side of the room and chatting, and sometimes looked at the table here. Xiao Ma and A San were naturally still checking what they were in their hands.
In terms of the current situation, Jia Sidao did not think that the man surnamed Hu had deliberately designed a trap and waited for him and Ah San to jump down. However, it is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, so who can guarantee that the man surnamed Hu and others' performances are not intentionally artificial?
Jia Sidao sighed, retracted his dispersed attention, and continued to detect the jade pot spring bottle in his hand. Then, the interior of the jade pot spring bottle appeared in his mind. Some subtle cracks split the entire bottle into seven pieces, with different sizes. It was just because the repair technique was very good. From the surface, there were no traces of fragmentation.
A more important information is that these small pieces of fragments are similar in terms of texture perception. It can be said that Jia Sidao cannot tell the difference between the sensitivity of the body of the porcelain with respect to the porcelain. This undoubtedly shows that this jade pot spring bottle, whether old or new, is a complete whole. After it is broken, it is certain that it will be repaired.
If it is a new porcelain, then it is naturally worthless. But if it is a jade pot spring bottle in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, even if it is broken and repaired, it is really rare to repair it to such a complete level. As long as the price is appropriate, Jia Sidao thought that he could take down this jade pot spring bottle!
"By the way, Brother Hu, how did these things come from?" When Jia Sidao turned his head, he saw that the man surnamed Hu had just come over, so he asked casually. He didn't expect the man surnamed Hu to answer honestly. Unexpectedly, the other party quickly gave the answer.
"Dig it out." After saying that, he didn't see any excited expression from the man surnamed Hu. It seemed that his face would always be like this. Only when he saw A San and Jia Sidao, he looked at the things in his hands and eliminated the desire to buy, and put the things back on the table, the man surnamed Hu's face would still show a bit of unhappy expression!
"Dig it out?" Jia Sidao naturally knew that the things in front of him were all dug out. However, where they were dug out and how long it took to be dug out was exactly what Jia Sidao wanted to know. It is hard to say that with this information, Jia Sidao could judge the authenticity of these things in front of him.
"Yes." The man surnamed Hu said a little unhappy and said, "I dug it out in my backyard. I said, "You have been looking at it for so long, have you decided to buy it?"
"Brother, brother, don't worry." Li Gou next to him, probably because he was close to Zhang San and had seen some worlds, he persuaded him, "The more carefully they look at, the higher the value of these things. Think about it, if you buy things for tens of thousands or tens of thousands, do you have to look more carefully?"
"That's right." The man surnamed Hu thought about it, nodded, and turned to Jia Sidao and the other two, and said, "Then you should take a closer look. However, when bargaining, don't bully me as an honest person. At that time, it will be a bargain and there is no room for special bargaining. You can rest assured that I will never offer a too high price, just the price he asked about when he first came."
Upon hearing this, Jia Sidao couldn't help but smile bitterly and did not argue much. The so-called "too much" will lead to mistakes. From these words, Jia Sidao finally knew that Zhang San did want to accept these things himself, but it was because of price or capital issues, but it was not successful!
As for the offer from the man surnamed Hu, Jia Sidao looked at Li Gou on the side with a deeper meaning. Perhaps, by now, the one who is the one who cannot understand the most is him? In addition, when the man surnamed Hu said that he wanted to offer the offer, he subconsciously glanced at Li Gou.
This made Jia Sidao speculate that these things were discovered by Li Gou and the man surnamed Hu? Or, the man surnamed Hu trusted Li Gou more and thought that Li Gou was more knowledgeable and had already learned the real value of these things from his mouth! Of course, this so-called "real" value was given by Li Gou's identification ability. At that time, what price will it be? It will take until Jia Si Dao and A San and others finally determine whether to collect things before they can ask.
Otherwise, if you don’t have any intention of purchasing, just ask for the price, and the other party agrees, even if you don’t buy it, you won’t be able to do it.
However, among all the words said by the man surnamed Hu, what Jia Sidao was most surprised was that the man surnamed Hu was bluntly saying that these things were dug out of his backyard. This made Jia Sidao very curious and couldn't help but ask: "Since it was dug out of his backyard, can you take us to where to take a look?"
I'm afraid it's not just Jia Sidao, but also A San, Xiao Ma, and even Zhang San and others, who are quite excited?
"What about these things?" The man surnamed Hu didn't think it was impossible to take a few people to his backyard to see. Instead, he pointed to the things on the table and asked Jia Sidao if he didn't want them anymore. If Jia Sidao said at this time, he wouldn't want these things anymore, and the man surnamed Hu wouldn't take everyone to the backyard.
"We might as well talk about these things when we come back, how about it?" A San said in the jam. "Only by looking at the places where they were dug out, we can more prepare to estimate the authenticity and price of these things."
"Okay, then." The man surnamed Hu nodded. Then he asked his wife to open the back door. As for the lights, it was because he was in the backyard and was in a small village. At night, he almost didn't have to think about that thing. Jia Sidao and the others were not easy to force. Moreover, the man surnamed Hu also said, "When you go out later, everyone should keep a low voice and don't make too much noise."
"Yes." Jia Sidao nodded first. If the noise was too big, let alone the man surnamed Hu was unhappy, even Jia Sidao and others would feel a little trouble. So, the group of people, like rain, came to the backyard through the back door of the house. Although everyone's faces were full of curiosity, their behavior was like a family. Jia Sidao and other outsiders came to visit relatives. They said some irrelevant words, similar to greetings.
In this way, even if some villagers passing by heard some words, it would not be in the way!
"It seems that you are still A San, you have experience." Needless to say, this is what A San reminds everyone when he is about to go out. Everyone can understand it! Especially the man surnamed Hu, he deliberately showed a grateful look for this. Then, he even asked his wife to pour a few cups of boiling water out.
For a moment, the backyard of my home became lively.
If it is really like what the man surnamed Hu himself said, and he is secretly in the backyard and does not dare to make any sound, it will easily attract others' attention.
Jia Sidao looked at the environment in the backyard. At first glance, it seemed a bit bleak. It was like this place, although it belongs to the backyard, it was just a little bit close to the so-called "yard". The surrounding wall embryos are not very high, and they are a bit broken.
However, when it is almost October, some green weeds can drill out from the cracks in the corners of the wall, showing some breath of life. In addition, some crops planted by a man surnamed Hu in his backyard have become a bit green.
Jia Sidao's eyes circled around the entire backyard, and finally landed on a corner of the wall. Apart from the place where crops were planted and the land was renovated, there was only one land in the whole yard, and there were traces of turning. However, at this moment, an elm tree grew there. The branches were relatively thick. In other words, in October, it was not suitable for tree transplantation. When Jia Sidao suddenly saw this elm tree, he felt a little sure in his heart that what the man surnamed Hu said was that the excavation place should be this place.
However, although the man surnamed Hu is a middle-aged man who looks old and honest, his mind is also quite active. The elm tree transplanted is obviously a certain age. Moreover, it is just a piece of wooden stake, which is so casually slanted and planted in the corner of the wall. If you just look at the roots of the elm tree and the twisted roots look in a tangled way, it really feels a bit artistic.
Jia Sidao sighed in his heart that it would be a pity not to send it to make a root carving.
"That's the place?" Xiaoma pointed to the old elm roots, the place where it grew up, and said with some emotion, "It's really a good place." Just next to the elm, there were some broken tiles and bricks. It seemed that even after being concealed by a man surnamed Hu, the existence of this place was still different from some corners on the side.
"What was the scene when digging at that time?" In fact, what Jia Sidao wanted to ask was whether he had found anything special during the digging process. However, after thinking about it, he suppressed his curiosity and swallowed the problem.
After all, judging from the personality of the man surnamed Hu, after discovering the existence of antiques, he would definitely dig up all the places and check them carefully. For a moment, a picture flashed in Jia Sidao's mind, on a dark and windy night, the man surnamed Hu was alone, holding a hoe, and digging hard in the corner of the backyard!
It’s hard to say that many people present at this time had such a picture in their minds. Moreover, what Jia Sidao can be sure of is that everyone’s hearts are still wantonly thinking about how this opportunity has not fallen on themselves?
Not everyone can encounter such a unique style by digging out the ancients’ property and experiencing such a unique style!
"There is nothing special, either." The man surnamed Hu recalled and said, "A while ago, I just wanted to plant something here, so I dug it up with a hoe. As a result, I dug out a pottery pot. Under the cover of the pottery pot, there was the porcelain pot. As for the jade pendant, it was packed in the porcelain pot, and the beautiful bottle was also placed separately under the cover of the pottery pot. In addition, I dug for a long time, and the range was very large, and I dug a piece of iron lump. There was nothing special about the others."
"In other words, that bottle, pottery basin, etc. are all closely combined with the soil?" Jia Sidao asked.
"That's right. When I first dug it out, it was full of mud." said the man surnamed Hu, "I asked my wife to wash it carefully."
"Yes." Jia Sidao nodded. He could naturally see that these things were washed. However, from the words of the man surnamed Hu, Jia Sidao also got the information he wanted to know. He walked to the edge of the elm tree casually, squatted down, and gently twisted the soil in this place with his hands to feel the humidity here.
And A San asked: "Brother Hu, how long have you lived in this place? Have you ever dug this place in the backyard before?"
"My grandfather's generation started to live here." The man surnamed Hu said very simply. With his grandfather's age, if he was still alive, he would probably be almost a hundred years old, right? In other words, the words of the man surnamed Hu were all telling the truth. At least, their family moved into this house should be traced back to before liberation. "As for this corner, it used to worship incense, so I didn't think much about going to turn over the soil or something."
"Word of the incense?" Jia Sidao looked at the place carefully and it looked a bit like it. There was also some smoky effect in the corner of the wall, which should have been a long time. This point does not seem to be old. Moreover, in Jia Sidao's heart, he could have confirmed that the things on the table were dug out of the backyard and should not be wrong.
This so-called "worshiping incense" is also a local dialect in Linhai. Jia Sidao still remembers that once his hometown is approaching, such as Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming Festival, or the Winter Solstice, New Year's Eve, etc., his family will make some delicious food, invite the God of Wealth, the Lord of Land, etc.!
At this time, in addition to placing a table at home, you will also need to make a small piece of place at the door to light incense candles and other things, and also burn some "gold ingots" and "gold bars" folded with yellow paper. In some rural areas, such customs are particularly important.
This place of "worshiping incense" needs to be selected in a better position and choose it specifically.
Of course, the backyard of the man surnamed Hu's family is said to be a backyard, but there is actually a door, but there is no big difference between closing and not closing. This "incense worship" place is right next to the gate, not far away. It is also a relatively suitable place.
Everyone stayed in the backyard casually for a while. Jia Sidao and A San gathered together again and started discussing in a low voice.
"I don't know, have you ever carefully looked at the jade pot spring bottle, style, etc., and there is no big problem." Jia Sidao said, "However, I suspect that the thing is a long-term imitation. As I looked at it, I always felt a little wrong. At first, I thought I had no eyesight, but later I felt that maybe it was because of the repairs, or because of the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, they deliberately imitated it. In short, the technology is very superb. If the price is right, you can get it."
"Old imitation?" Asan looked at Jia Si in surprise. The gap between the "old imitation" and the "imitation" was very huge. It was obvious that Asan had not thought of going to this place yet, and he couldn't help but ask, "Can there be such a problem in that jade pendant?"
"White Jade Pendant?" Jia Sidao smiled and said, "Haha, when did you even start studying the jade pendant? That thing is not very good in terms of texture! I don't have much interest in it. On the contrary, if you think this jade pot spring bottle is not suitable, you can let me collect it. However, I have agreed in advance. If the other party's asking price is too high, I will not be a stick."
