Chen Wenzhe nodded. It is naturally difficult to collect a piece of Ru kiln.
To be honest, all the national treasure gangs in China are loyal fans of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty.
They were deceived just because they liked it so much.
Chen Wenzhe is no exception, but his technical level is high and it is difficult to be deceived.
And if you want to deceive Chen Wenzhe, you have to imitate it better, right?
But is it so easy to imitate the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty?
Not to mention anything else, just a Ru kiln can make you want to die.
There are too few Ru kiln porcelains in existence, and even fewer are recognized. How can it be so easy if you want to collect one?
Lao Li also spoke at this time: "Boss Chen, how much do you think the Ru kiln porcelain can survive?"
Chen Wenzhe was stunned. Although he knew, he didn't know why Lao Li asked this?
And his guess was confirmed. This group of people really naturally shifted the topic to Ru kiln again.
Anyway, he is very interested in this point, so naturally he will not hide it.
It can be said that Chen Wenzhe knows a lot about Ru kiln porcelain.
Naturally, it is clear that there are not many Ru kiln porcelains that are recognized by domestic experts.
There are only 67.5 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty that have been confirmed so far.
Currently, there are approximately 17 pieces of Ru kiln ware handed down from generation to generation in the Palace Museum, 23 pieces in the Wanwan Palace Museum, 8 pieces in the Maritime Museum, and 7 pieces in the British David Foundation.
These museums have relatively large collections, with 4 extant neon pieces and 5 extant pieces from Meiliguo.
These are all more than two pieces. The ones with only one collection are one piece from the Jincheng Museum, half a piece from the Guangdong Provincial Museum, one piece from the Xiangjiang collector Luo Guixiang, and one piece from the British private collection, totaling 67 and a half pieces.
This is a Ru kiln ware recognized by everyone.
In fact, the official kiln porcelain produced by Ru Kiln has actually exceeded this number.
There are about 150 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain recorded in private collections, including those from Xinlipo, Limeiguo and other places.
According to the latest statistics, there should be between 300-500 pieces of Ru porcelain in existence.
This amount of existence is definitely not much in the 20 years of firing history.
Many people are constrained by the previous number of 65 pieces and dare not break through, thinking that the Ru kiln porcelain mentioned by others is all fake.
In fact, whether it is newly unearthed by museums or private individuals, this number must have exceeded this number long ago.
In recent years, some new things have been unearthed, many of which were not found in books in the past and experts did not dare to recognize them.
For example, Yuan blue and white porcelain. Before the Republic of China, no one in China believed that this kind of porcelain existed.
There is also the Yuan blue and white Boling model unearthed in recent years, which has never been seen before.
There is also secret color porcelain, which has not been accurately recorded before. Only certain documents unearthed in the underground palace of Famen Temple have confirmed that several pieces of porcelain in the underground palace are the legendary secret color porcelain.
At this time, you will find that among the cultural relics passed down from generation to generation, there is also secret color porcelain.
It's just that modern people don't know what secret color porcelain looks like, so naturally they can't confirm that it is secret color porcelain.
So, you haven’t seen it and don’t admit it, is there really no such thing in history?
This is the case with Ru kiln porcelain, or the porcelain from the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, some people say that the surviving Ru kiln porcelain, except for those 60 or so pieces, are all from private kilns. This statement is wrong.
Valley
The firing time of Ru kiln is indeed very short, but it is not like there are only a few 60 pieces in existence. The real number in existence should be quite large.
But the problem is that the current appraisal community is relatively chaotic. There are no appraisal standards and no authoritative organization, so many problems have arisen.
No matter what the society says, as time goes by, private collections will still be recognized in the future, because this is an objective fact.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Ru kilns were treasures in the Song Dynasty!
Once something like this is burned, it is difficult to destroy.
Just say that after the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty no longer cared about porcelain?
They are more rare and cherish porcelain more. Otherwise, how did the Yuan blue and white come from?
As we all know, the firing time of Ru kiln is very short.
Among the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun and Ding, the Ru kiln built under the personal supervision of Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, is well-deservedly praised as the first of the five famous kilns.
Later, due to the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties due to the disgrace of Jingkang, it was lost and was burned for only more than 20 years.
At that time, the firing and acceptance of finished Ru porcelain products were extremely strict. If there were even the slightest flaw, they would be smashed and buried deeply. They were exclusively for the royal family and were not allowed to be kept privately by the public.
Therefore, there are very few porcelains from Ruguan kiln in Song Dynasty.
However, this is very rare and is relative.
After being fired for twenty years, the number is still relatively large. If it is well preserved, then even now, the real amount of Ru kiln porcelain in existence should be very large.
Because porcelain of this level, no matter who gets it, will regard it as a family heirloom and carefully treasure it.
If they were kept well, maybe even a few pieces would not be damaged over the course of thousands of years.
There must have been a lot of porcelain fired at that time. If we add in the small amount of damage, how many Ru kiln porcelains have been handed down?
This was Chen Wenzhe's point of view. To make it clear, he looked at the two old men. They had not shown anything special yet, but Wu San already had a look of joy on his face.
Chen Wenzhe was a little confused by this. He thought that there were a lot of Ru kiln porcelain handed down, so why would Wu San be happy?
Chen Wenzhe's expression became weird. Could it be that Wu San really had one in his hand?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If possible, these guys' luck would be great, right?
Although I couldn't believe it, the more Chen Wenzhe thought about it, the more he felt that it might be true.
"Boss Chen, what are you thinking about? A thousand cups of wine is too little when you meet a close friend, and half a sentence is enough to talk without speculation. Today I met a close friend, so why should we have an in-depth communication." Lao Zhou said with a smile.
Lao Li was more direct: "Since we mentioned the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, why don't we continue to communicate? If we can't get the real thing, can we imitate it?"
"Yes, it's a skill to be able to imitate it!" Wu San smiled with excitement on his face.
"It's really not easy to imitate Ru kiln porcelain. It's just that it's simple and simple, so it's not easy to imitate." Lao Li has already begun to make suggestions.
No one knows the characteristics of real Ru porcelain better than Chen Wenzhe.
As Lao Li said, one of the most basic characteristics of Ru kilns handed down from generation to generation is that they are simple and elegant in shape.
Secondly, the glaze is made of precious agate, which has a unique color.
Chen Wenzhe knows this best, because he knows better that Ru Kiln porcelain has the reputation of "agate as the glaze passed down from ancient times".
"If you want to imitate Ru kiln porcelain, you must at least imitate its six major characteristics, right?"
Before Chen Wenzhe could express anything, Lao Zhou began to put forward his own opinions.
