Chapter 1,060 Even if it is speechless, it is touching
In that auction, the result was different from what the auctioneer had imagined.
When it was the turn of the auction for the chrysanthemum petal plate, the lemon yellow glaze plate was the first to be auctioned, and the first person to raise a placard to accept the bid...
After a long time, no one followed up, and the auctioneer banged the gavel with a bit of disappointment—it was sold at the reserve price of 1.5 million.
Immediately afterwards, the carmine red glaze plate failed to be auctioned, and the person who wanted it was very happy, while the collector who had previously estimated the price felt secretly happy.
If the purple-gold glaze plate also fails to sell, maybe you can talk to the consignor again, and the price for all three pieces should be lower.
Sure enough, when the purple-gold glaze plate was auctioned, the auctioneer called several times, but no one accepted the bid.
At that time, the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, and just as some people were covering their mouths and about to laugh out loud, someone suddenly raised a sign to accept the bid!
The purple gold plate was hammered down at the lowest price and was won by others.
Therefore, these three chrysanthemum petal plates were eventually sold for 6.5 million.
If there are twelve pieces, it would be 26 million, which is more than 10 million higher than 15 million!
Although the situation at the auction site was not satisfactory, the price achieved at the auction was really not low!
The quality of these chrysanthemum petal plates is really good. Even the two cheap ones, even the damaged lemon yellow glaze chrysanthemum petal plates, are definitely not low in value.
Therefore, the first thing Chen Wenzhe imitated was the lemon yellow glaze.
Although lemon yellow and purple gold glazes are not as valuable as carmine red glazes, it is easy for Chen Wenzhe to make them!
Chen Wenzhe still had a certain foundation in preparing this yellow glaze, because he had only made pastel chicken cups before.
The yellow glaze in the chicken pot cup is the best yellow.
Otherwise, how could Chen Wenzhe have the confidence to copy Yongzheng's twelve-color chrysanthemum plate?
This time, he did not mix goose yellow. He just wanted to rely on his inherited experience to directly bake lemon yellow.
Compared with goose yellow, lemon yellow is less beautiful in terms of beauty, but it is not easy to fire it accurately.
This relies on experience, and what Chen Wenzhe lacks most is all kinds of experience.
However, he has never fired it before, so he needs to take it easy.
Now that he has finished one piece, he doesn't plan to make more, because it needs to be fired in the kiln to see the final effect.
Fortunately, the firing process of this kind of porcelain is not too complicated. As long as you apply the glaze and dry it for a while, it can be fired in the kiln.
Making and firing at the same time, there is no waiting time during this period, because when I have free time, I will make pastel zhaodao porcelain, or else I will make Ruguan kiln.
Being so busy, the first thing out of the kiln must be a single-color glazed chrysanthemum petal plate for trial firing colors.
Chen Wenzhe’s experience also played a very good role here.
For example, after a day of firing in the kiln, what comes out of the kiln is not the colorful one, but the single color he wanted.
The first is the Lemon Yellow Chrysanthemum Petal Plate. This lemon yellow glazed plate is made of autumn chrysanthemum, with ingenious conception and beautiful shape.
The coiled body and circled feet are made according to the shape and are connected as one.
The lines are handsome and graceful, and the soles of the feet are also covered with lemon yellow glaze.
It is like a blooming autumn chrysanthemum, with brilliant autumn colors. The edge of the center of the plate is slightly concave, and the glaze color is bright and even. It is like an autumn yellow chrysanthemum, beautiful and refined, indescribably beautiful and wonderful.
Seeing it, it's like feeling the tranquility of time.
Just touch it and you will feel soft, smooth and refreshing!
A plate is as clear as autumn water, not stained by dust, but where yellow flowers are blooming, the autumn colors are shining, and the whole house is filled with brilliance.
This is the lemon yellow chrysanthemum petal plate, the shape of the device is perfect and vivid, which definitely reflects Chen Wenzhe's superb tire repair skills.
Even during the Yongzheng Dynasty, few people could produce such a craft with such success.
In the Yongzheng official kiln, which is famous for its single-color glaze, the chrysanthemum petal plate is often praised by future generations, and it is not without reason.
The design is exquisite and the lines are beautiful, reflecting the ultimate pursuit of the shape and glaze color. Therefore, it has become one of the classic works of the Yongzheng official kiln and has always been cherished by major collectors at home and abroad.
Now that it has been successfully fired, Chen Wenzhe naturally wants to make new designs.
After the lemon yellow was successfully fired, other colors could be made. Of course, the shape of the vessel also needed to be changed, so this time he personally made a twenty-four-petal plate.
According to the information from the Forbidden City, there are two types of chrysanthemum petals made by Emperor Yongzheng: one has forty-four petals, and the other has twenty-four petals.
The twenty-four-petal chrysanthemum plate on Yongzheng imperial porcelain is a rare item and not many of it exist in the world.
The most famous of this type of vessel is the Yongzheng rouge water-glazed chrysanthemum petal dish, which is a rare twenty-four-petal dish.
This dish has an arc-shaped wall, and the delicate white fetal bones are exposed on the circle foot. The bottom is glazed with white glaze, and is signed with the six-character blue and white regular script "Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty". The outer circle is surrounded by a double circle of blue and white, which is dignified and majestic.
The most fascinating thing is that the inner and outer walls of the plate are covered with delicate rouge water glaze. The glaze color is charming and reflects the extremely fine workmanship of the fetal bones.
Chen Wenzhe's imitation is to cherish the rare ones, so he must imitate this rouge water-glazed chrysanthemum petal plate, which has twenty-four petals.
He did the math and found out that what he could make now included red glaze, white glaze, yellow glaze, green glaze, sauce glaze, celadon glaze, etc.
Among them, there are three main colors: red, white and yellow, and the others are all imitating the glaze colors of the previous dynasty.
Among the red glazes, carmine is the most precious. Of course, there are differences between the two glaze colors.
It's just that these are all red glazes. As long as the formula is slightly adjusted and the firing process is slightly changed, different results can be obtained.
The lemon yellow glaze has just been fired.
The white glaze chrysanthemum petal plate does not have so many tricks. As long as you want it as little as possible, you can definitely fire it to get the desired effect.
It doesn't matter what kind of face you have, other things like pale, goose-white, etc. can also be made as you like.
Not to mention green, he can make celadon, and he can even make a pool of spring water!
After successfully baking lemon yellow, okra green, or even various greens, will become no problem.
Rouge red and rouge water can definitely be fired successfully. As for the white glaze, is this a problem?
Therefore, after leaving the kiln that day, Chen Wenzhe had a series of chrysanthemum plates with stunning scenery placed in front of him!
"It's so beautiful!" Although she is still angry, she is beautiful.
Unlike the chrysanthemums on the Internet today, the chrysanthemums at that time had not been ruined.
At that time, the chrysanthemums in the world were colorful, purple and red, delicate yellow and green, and they were charming in their own way.
Once solidified into a disk, the essence is condensed and the scenery is stunning.
But seeing green like water, red like blood, yellow like autumn colors, curling and tingling, even if it is silent, it is moving.
Why did Yongzheng only love chrysanthemums? There are many theories, but no matter what, Yongzheng's love for chrysanthemums has a long history.
There is a picture in the album "Yongzheng Happy Pictures" collected by the Forbidden City in Shendu. It depicts Yinzhen when he was still a prince, dressed in Hanfu and pretending to be Tao Yuanming, admiring chrysanthemums on the east fence, expressing Yinzhen's infinite admiration for Tao Gong.
.
At that time, in order to escape the disputes over the crown prince's position, Yinzhen called himself "Pochen Jushi" and lived a life of a hermit in the Old Summer Palace in the western suburbs. He stayed away from the cruelty of the court's power struggle and devoted himself to the mountains, rivers, flowers and grass.
This special experience made Yinzhen deeply appreciate the meaning of chrysanthemums and formed an indissoluble bond with them.
