No one knows better than Chen Wenzhe how good the fine products in Jianzhe are.
After all, he has imitated Jianzhan in all aspects, not to mention that the rabbit hair lamp is not the most precious among Jianzhan.
The golden rabbit hair can be considered a rabbit hair lamp, but it is still a bit inferior to the Yaobian Tianmu lamp.
The seventh place sold for 6.9 million was a white jade bowl with eight auspicious patterns and a jasper base from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
This white jade eight-auspicious bowl is made of mutton-fat white jade, which is warm and crystal clear. It has deep cutting skills and fine lines. It is a rare masterpiece.
No. 6: 7.59 million, blue-glazed white fish and algae pattern tureen bowl from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.
This pair of bowls can be regarded as a model of retro innovation at the time. The shape and decoration originated from the Xuande official kiln.
However, the Xuande bowls that have been seen so far are blue and white or blue and white with alum red, and the blue ground is left blank to make the bowl. The plate has been handed down from generation to generation, and it is really rare to integrate these.
The fifth place is 29.9 million, Qing Qianlong pink and green glaze chrysanthemum petal pot with lid.
Decorated with pink celadon glaze, the color is beautiful and gorgeous.
The body of the pot is round and has equally divided petals, making it extremely difficult to make.
This item is also the teapot used by Emperor Qianlong, so it is impossible to get it cheaply.
There is no way, several factors have come together to raise prices.
Pink cyan glaze, beautiful color and gorgeous.
The shape of the pot body is also good, but the chrysanthemum shape is difficult to make.
Then there is Qianlong's royal use, these are all factors that increase the price.
A set of tea sets, connected to the teapot, sold for nearly 30 million, which should not be a high price.
The fourth place is 34.5 million. Chen Mingyuan made an incense pot in the early Qing Dynasty, and of course it also came with a teacup.
Chen Mingyuan was the most famous purple clay teapot maker in the Qing Dynasty and was famous far and wide.
The square teapots he made are among the four most famous ones handed down from generation to generation, and this is one of them.
In 2016, it was sold at an auction for 34.5 million yuan, making it the world's most expensive purple clay square teapot.
The third place, 56.36 million, is a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze tea cup.
Just the four characters "Ru kiln" in the Northern Song Dynasty can make this tea cup fetch a sky-high price.
At the same time, it is the only Ru kiln lamp published publicly in the world, which is extremely precious.
The second place is 92 million, Gu Jingzhou’s squirrel grape ten-head set.
Gu Jingzhou is a master in the field of purple clay pots and is famous among modern ceramic artists.
In 1995, Gu Jingzhou made this squirrel grape tea set. The teapot is huge and powerful, which is really rare among his works.
Needless to say, the first place was Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, which sold 232.6 million yuan.
This one is too famous, so I won’t introduce it much.
Chen Wenzhe previously used many Chenghua doucai chicken cups, and even mixed all the pigments used to make doucai in the Ming Dynasty.
Without his lessons learned, it would be a joke for the craftsmen under him to try to imitate chemically colored chicken cups.
"You are just imitating the chicken vat cup. I wonder if you know that there is another Chenghua doucai cup that is more valuable than the chicken vat cup?"
After seeing these imitations, although the imitations are pretty good, Chen Wenzhe is really not satisfied.
With his masterful eye, these imitations are full of flaws.
However, he can't ask for too much, because even this kind of imitation can definitely be regarded as a high imitation.
Even if you don't make them, you can still sell them at a high price because they are really beautiful.
Which of the famous porcelain works is not beautiful?
Broken things, no matter how powerful you are, if they don’t have other added value, people won’t like them.
"The boss is talking about the Sanqiu Cup, right?" Chen Xingchen was the first to respond.
"Yes, why not imitate the Sanqiu cup?" Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
If you follow his lead and make imitations, there is no way you can break through.
It would be great if they imitated the high-quality Sanqiu cup.
Not much is known about the Sanqiu Cup. It is also one of the Mingcheng Hua Dou Cai Cups.
It's just that it's not a tea set, but a drinking utensil.
The shape of this cup is also very simple, with an open mouth, a shallow sloping abdominal wall, and a circle foot.
It's such a simple thing, but it's not easy to actually do it.
If you want to ask, which is the most expensive cup in the world? In fact, it is very controversial.
Some people may think that the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, which was sold for 280 million yuan, is the most expensive porcelain in the history of world ceramics, and it is also the most famous palace porcelain.
Actually not! There is a Ming Dynasty Chenghua doucai porcelain, which is more precious than the chicken vat cup and can be called the treasure of the Palace Museum.
One morning in 1956, an old man in simple clothes slowly got off the bus and walked slowly to the Palace Museum.
No one would have thought that this year, he would donate more than 3,000 cultural relics from his home collection to the Palace Museum.
Among them, a pair of Ming Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cups!
This rare old man is Mr. Sun Yingzhou, a famous collector and appraiser of ancient ceramics.
At that time, Sun Yingzhou, who regarded his treasure as his life and "only ate pork once a week," gritted his teeth and bought it for 40 gold bars from a pawn shop that was about to close.
At the same time, Mr. Lu Xun only spent one gold bar to buy a courtyard house in Shendu.
In other words, the value of one Sanqiu cup is equivalent to 20 sets of courtyard houses!
The Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup has only one pair in the Forbidden City in the world, and there is no other pair. It is undoubtedly the leader among porcelains. It is a priceless treasure of the Forbidden City and an important treasure of the country.
In addition to Ming Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup, Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, Ming Chenghua Doucai Grape Pattern Cup, Ming Chenghua Blue and White Okra Cup, Ming Xuande Dragon Pattern Goblet... all of them are top national treasures.
They come from the same period - the prosperous Ming Dynasty. The most distinctive feature of its imperial porcelain is the "blue and white doucai".
When the underglaze blue and white is combined with the overglaze five colors, it not only maintains the beautiful and elegant characteristics of the blue and white, but also adds rich and gorgeous tones of the five colors, which set off each other and are gorgeous and colorful.
Chen Wenzhe mentioned it specifically because his hands were itchy.
He no longer has much interest in imitating cockfighting cups.
But he wanted to imitate the Doucai Sanqiu Cup, the Doucai Grape Pattern Cup, the Blue and White Okra Cup, and the Dragon Pattern Goblet.
This mainly involves another technique, doucai blue and white.
Doucai blue and white has the reputation of "the crown of colored porcelain". It carries the elegance of the Ming Dynasty and represents the peak level of my country's thousands of years of porcelain making history.
For a long time, ordinary people could only look at these antique imperial cups, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, through a screen.
Even if you know them, it is difficult to take a look at them.
Fortunately, modern consulting has developed, otherwise, how would ordinary people know about the existence of these national treasures?
Each of these cups is a once-in-a-hundred-year experience and is very rare!
They are scattered in various museums and in the hands of various private collectors. It is even more difficult to see them all at once.
This time, it was when he saw so many of his subordinates imitating tea cups that he remembered this series of famous porcelain cups.
The five kinds of cups mentioned by Chen Wenzhe just now can be regarded as the five most famous blue and white cups in the history of our country.
They are now among the five most valuable cups in my country's porcelain world.
Some people even gave them a title - "One Hundred Billion Cups", which is well-deserved!
