Chapter 365: Porcelain Plate Painting
Chapter 365 Porcelain Board Painting
"You kid actually wants me to compensate you?" A San said angrily to Jia Sidao, "Don't think about it. You usually get a bargain, but a poor person like me is losing all his money. Why don't you give me a little compensation to me?" As he said that, he also looked like he was very bitter and revenge, as if Jia Sidao treated him badly. Instead, he called Xiaoma and Mr. Zhang next to him laughing!
"You'll do it." Jia Sidao glanced at A San and Xiaoma, each carrying a bag of things. It must be what they got from this trip. However, with Mr. Zhang here, Jia Sidao didn't ask much. Especially for things like antique collection, if you were not very familiar with them, Jia Sidao knew that people in the industry could not let others know.
Of course, if you want to transfer the things in your hands, you have to say something else.
"Mr. Zhang, since A San and the others are all back, we won't disturb you." Jia Sidao said to Mr. Zhang, and while he was talking, he re-placed some of the information he had just read, even Mr. Zhang's collections he had played with.
"Okay!" Mr. Zhang didn't delay and directly returned the fragment of Jiaozi banknote that was being tested to Jia Si, "If you need it in the future, I may say that I will go to you again. At that time, I hope you can do it for a convenience."
"Of course there is no problem." Jia Sidao understood very well what Mr. Zhang meant. It was not easy to find a piece of Jiaozi banknote fragment, especially for those who are studying this aspect, it was very precious. "I also hope that through Mr. Zhang, I can know faster the real value of this thing."
"Haha, it must be." Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "As long as there is news on me, I will definitely be the first to notify you. Speaking of which, I am still very optimistic about this thing."
As soon as he left Mr. Zhang's house, A San pulled Jia Sidao and asked, "It's not this Jiaozi Cash fragment, what new story has appeared?"
"It's nothing." Jia Sidao briefly said about the "Ancestor of the Money Edition", but it turned out that it was normal to attract the envious look of Xiaoma and A San. A San also subconsciously muttered: "I really have nothing to say about your luck, Xiao Jia."
"Don't mind, you have found a lot of things this time. There may be some valuable things here." As he said that, Jia Sidao made one, trying to grab the appearance of the things in A San's hand. However, because the packages here must be antiques, Jia Sidao didn't want to learn how to play when he was playing, so he snatched the things over without any particularity. If an accident breaks during this process, the trouble would be great.
When the three of them got into the car, Jia Sidao did not rush to start, but turned around and looked at A San and Xiaoma.
When the two of them showed their own things, Jia Sidao felt somewhat disappointed. In A San's hand, it was a porcelain board painting. To put it bluntly, it was also a kind of porcelain in terms of material. However, this porcelain board painting is very different from porcelain in the traditional sense. Specifically, porcelain board paintings gradually rose to prosperity since the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, porcelain painting artists were committed to transplanting Chinese paintings with rich meanings on paper and silk to porcelain. Therefore, porcelain board paintings were favored by people and became one of the important commercial porcelains. Let’s talk about the four-panel screens seen at the party on Antique Street that Jia Sidao has always envied. The shape can also be said to be a kind of rough porcelain board painting.
Because of normal porcelain-embedded screens, whether on the screen, screen or on the screen, you often see porcelain plate paintings with very strong decorative meaning on them. There are also many varieties, including blue and white, blue and white underglaze red, colorful porcelain, Doucai porcelain, pastel porcelain, ink porcelain, and light crimson porcelain, etc. The patterns involved are naturally very wide, including characters, landscapes, flowers, feathers, fish and algae and auspicious patterns!
It is nothing more than the four-panel Jun porcelain screen on the Antique Street. It is made of Jun porcelain and is only used for decoration, without a special and unified style. However, just because the word "Jun porcelain" is enough to reflect the value of the four-panel.
However, as the porcelain plate painting in A San's hand is now, Jia Sidao felt a little light. The ink color is still good, but when it comes to the details, Jia Sidao felt a little imperfect when he saw it this way. So, Jia Sidao frowned slightly and asked A San: "Why did you find such a thing to get started?"
"Hehe, I underestimated the porcelain board drawing, right?" A San didn't care about Jia Sidao's opinion at all. Even if Jia Sidao didn't like this thing, as long as the owner of the thing, A San's mindset would naturally be happy. After that, A San deliberately used his elbow to touch Xiao Ma who was also sitting in the back seat of the carriage, and signaled, "Xiao Ma, come and tell Xiao Jia, the newcomer who is collecting the group, and talk about the recent market of porcelain board drawings on the market!"
"I don't think I need this anymore, right?" Xiao Ma smiled embarrassedly. He also passed by Jia Sidao. It was a complete set of candlesticks. Jia Sidao looked at the thing, and felt that it was similar to the five pieces of the Qing Palace when he first collected porcelain.
Of course, Xiaoma himself said: "My set of things is a modern imitation. I looked pretty good, so I wondered if I could go to the Antique Street to serve as inferior products and take advantage of the situation to see if I could make some hard work!"
This is the truth. After hearing this, Jia Sidao and A San didn't think that Xiaoma was wrong in doing this. The antiques business should be like this. Otherwise, if everyone is realistic, would they let Xiaoma and other antique vendors go to drink the northwest wind?
"I don't know much about porcelain plate paintings." Seeing A San's side, Jia Sidao said helplessly, "I even know the porcelain plate paintings of "Zhushan Eight Friends" are particularly expensive."
"Oh, Xiao Jia, I really didn't see it. You know a lot of things. I thought you only knew the name of such a mixed porcelain board painting." Asan said in surprise. Of course, from Asan's tone, Jia Sidao could also hear it. Asan had a bit of teasing meaning in it. It's not that I really felt that Jia Sidao had achieved success in his studies, and he was more confident in the knowledge in any field.
"Tsk," Jia Sidao glanced at Asan in anger, with a little disdain in his eyes. It seemed that he was indifferent to Asan's praise.
"Speaking of this porcelain plate painting is quite popular in the antique market in recent times." Xiaoma made a smooth move on the side and said, "Compared with Xiao Jia's profit in the jade business, this porcelain plate painting is naturally worse than that. However, you can't underestimate the economic "viability" of porcelain plate painting. Because, porcelain plate painting is also considered porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China."
"In other words, the popularity of porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China led to the porcelain industry in that period. Therefore, no matter whether the content of porcelain plate paintings is good or bad, as long as they are things that were in that year, their value will increase a lot." A San said, "I said Xiao Jia, you may not know that the market price of the porcelain plate paintings you mentioned in the "Eight Friends of Zhushan" is even comparable to that of the official kilns in the late Qing Dynasty. They can cost tens of thousands of yuan, and hundreds of thousands of yuan. If they are high-quality products, they can be worth more than one million. As long as I find a piece of profit, I will send it."
"Well, why don't you say that this type of thing is more popular on the market. So, the imitations that were filled with during the period were as numerous as Zhujiang Zhiqing? The price was only a few hundred or a thousand yuan?" Jia Sidao said angrily. In a word, Jia Sidao was not very optimistic about porcelain board paintings.
Speaking of which, the essential difference between porcelain plate painting and traditional porcelain is because the reputation of the people who paint on porcelain plates is related to the age, whether they are official kilns, and the number of passed down from generation to generation. The two are still very different. In Jia Sidao's view, the porcelain plate paintings of people who can become famous are basically fixed. Let's talk about the "Eight Friends of Zhushan" mentioned earlier. The number of their porcelain plate paintings is a fixed number in the market.
As more people pursue it, their value will naturally be higher.
Not to mention the famous porcelain plate paintings like "Zhushan Bayou", even some porcelain plate paintings by famous artists in the Republic of China have been involved in the imitation market due to their low cost and good sales. This has also led to extremely confusion in the market of porcelain plate paintings in recent years.
In history, the artistic status of porcelain plate paintings has risen and fallen several times. It was not until the middle and late Qing Dynasty that the industry discovered that the "light crimson white" craft of Yuan Huang Gongwang is more suitable for the expression of porcelain plate paintings. Therefore, there were also "new-style art porcelain" represented by Chengmen, Jin Pinqing and Wang Shaowei. Later, this so-called "new-style art porcelain" was called "light crimson color porcelain".
The representative of it is that in the second half of this year, Chengmen’s light crimson porcelain plate (specimen is 43×32cm), Jin Pinqing’s light crimson flower and bird porcelain plate (specimen is 39×27cm), and Wang Shaowei’s light crimson landscape porcelain plate (specimen is 32×43cm), and Wang Shaowei’s light crimson landscape porcelain plate (specimen is 32×43cm), were sold at a high price of 506,000 yuan.
After the emergence of new-style art porcelain, the number of porcelain plate paintings increased rapidly and the artistic quality also increased significantly. Even in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, a group of calligraphers and painters with profound calligraphy and painting skills also intervened in the ranks of porcelain plate paintings and became the famous "Eight Friends of Zhushan".
It cannot be said that Jia Sidao is ignorant.
When he first entered the porcelain industry, Jia Sidao did not really look at these porcelain plate paintings. However, the prices of some porcelain plate paintings that I occasionally noticed are like the works of "Zhushan Eight Friends". The prices that have appeared in recent years are even higher than the prices of some official kilns in the late Qing Dynasty. This will inevitably give Jia Sidao a intuitive impression of newcomers like Jia Sidao.
After all, Jia Sidao cannot escape the vulgarity. It is one aspect to like porcelain, and the high value of porcelain collection is also a reason. In this way, there will inevitably be more attention to those with high value. Just like Yuan blue and white, if Guiguzi had not gone down the mountain to buy a large Yuan blue and white jar of porcelain collections that were unprecedented in the sky-high price, I am afraid that the Yuan blue and white market in recent years would not have been so popular, right?
Jia Sidao looked at the porcelain board painting that A San collected. He said it was exquisite, but it was really hard to say. As for the roughness, it was not enough.
Generally speaking, such works are found in a countryside full of classical charm. The authenticity is really doubtful! Don’t think that the advantages of the environment are the real ones, so you can think that in such a village, the things you find are all genuine.
Nowadays, no one is a fool. The more suitable the environment for producing high-quality antiques, the more likely it is to be filled with a large number of fakes in such a place. Otherwise, Jia Sidao would not have been left alone just because Mr. Zhang wanted to continue to detect the fragments of Jiaozi banknotes.
If you want to test something that belongs to you, when will it not be able to detect it? Why give it to A San and Xiaoma a chance to "find a bargain"?
It was precisely because Jia Sidao felt that the chance of picking up bargains from this village was too slim, so he followed A San and Xiaoma to make trouble. Anyway, Jia Sidao would not think that in this world, who else would think that he had picked up bargains too many times?
"Since you are so optimistic about the things you have collected, then you might as well tell me about this thing in detail. How about it?" Jia Sidao sent an invitation to Asan. While saying that, he seemed to be looking at the porcelain plate painting in his hand intentionally or unintentionally. "I think you would just say directly that this thing belongs to the 'Eight Friends of Zhushan'?"
"You really got it." A San didn't think that Jia Sidao's statement had any potential meaning. On the contrary, he said proudly, "How did I collect this thing? I won't say much now. Anyway, this process is so complicated."
"I think it's probably the time when you bargain, it's full of suspense?" Jia Sidao muttered to himself. Isn't this the case whenever someone is going to sell his old stuff?
"I tell you, I can see that your current view is definitely out of jealousy, yes, it's just naked jealousy." A Sanda sighed at the injustice of the way of heaven, "But, speaking of it, this thing is really something of the 'Eight Friends of Zhushan'. Look, there is still a name on it."
As he said that, A San handed over the porcelain board in a whole piece.
Jia Sidao took over and looked carefully. The picture of flowers and birds was painted on it. There were two birds in total. Jia Sidao did not have any major research on birds. However, when Jia Sidao's eyes just stopped on the birds on the porcelain board, A San explained: "This is a pair of birds."
Jia Sidao then suddenly realized!
In addition, the inscription on the side is also very clear. Excluding the factor of this being a porcelain board painting, Jia Sidao thought that even a painting should have a lot of value. Of course, the premise is that this thing must be the original work of "Eight Friends of Zhushan"! The name on the porcelain board painting is exactly what it says: Liu Yucen!
"Hehe, don't you know the name of this person?" Asan looked at Jia Sidao and looked carefully, but couldn't see what it was. He couldn't help but explain again, "Actually, I just mentioned that from the surface, this thing is the "Eight Friends of Zhushan". The name on it is Liu Yucen, one of the famous artists "Eight Friends of Zhushan" during the Republic of China. He uses calligraphy and painting to porcelain and is good at ceramic pastel flowers and birds. In recent years, due to the Eight Brothers of Zhushan, he has been a good at ceramic pastel flowers and birds.
The market for friends' works is gradually rising, and the prices of his works are also high. For example, it is the "Zhushan Eight Friends Porcelain Board" by him, Wang Yeting, Wang Dafan and Zhang Zhitang. There are four pieces in total, one for each person. At last year's Jiade Autumn Auction, it was finally sold at a transaction price of more than 890,000 yuan. The only regret is that it is a complete set of works. My works are just Liu Yucen. In terms of value, it will definitely have some impact."
"You have confidence and think this thing is real." Jia Sidao said.
"That's natural." Asan said with a smile, "If I don't have confidence, what else can I do if I take it up?"
"That, Ah San," the little horse next to him said in a low voice at this moment, "When you just received this thing, you didn't have so confidence? As I heard you say, I am more optimistic about this imitation and can sell it for a high price!"
"Haha," Jia Sidao also put the porcelain painting in hand back into A San's hand when he heard this. He glanced at Xiaoma, and then looked at A San again. However, he found that at this moment, A San's face was not red and his heart was beating: "Xiaoma, that's OK when bargaining, do you believe what I use to fool the seller?"
For this reason, Jia Sidao and Xiaoma immediately turned their heads aside, as if I didn’t know you!
