Chapter 1,657: The ancient kilns become extremely red, and it is most difficult to spend money on good workers all over the country.
I feel that Li Jinli's vision has improved recently, so Chen Wenzhe paid a little more attention to the various antiques that Li Jinli sent over in the past two months.
His eyes passed over those that had been reprinted, those that were re-fired, and then removed those that were high imitations. Chen Wenzhe really picked out a few more interesting works.
Together with the red plate, the value of these porcelains is not low.
Looking at the copper-red glaze plate again, I saw that it had an open mouth, curved walls, and rounded feet.
The shape is regular, the disc shape is round, the carcass is hard and dense, and the shape is beautiful.
Both the inner and outer walls of the vessel are glazed with red glaze, and a line of "lamp grass mouth" is left on the edge of the mouth, which is in sharp contrast.
The glaze color is deep and uniform, the red glaze is black and red, the glaze is bright, and the glaze surface is shiny.
The bottom of the vessel is glazed with white glaze, and the inscription "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" is written in six-character double-line blue and white regular script with a double circle.
Jihong glaze was successfully fired during the Yongle and Xuande years, but due to the complexity of production, huge cost and extremely low yield, it was abandoned.
During the Kangxi period, the Jihong glaze firing technique was successfully revived, but this technique required financial resources, so ordinary people could not make such good plates.
Chen Wenzhe knew very well that when preparing red glaze in ancient times, gold, coral, agate, jade and other precious objects were often ground into powder and mixed into it.
It can be said that every time this kind of porcelain is fired, no expense is spared.
Since the production atmosphere of Jihong glaze is difficult to control, the yield is relatively low, so it is more expensive.
In addition, this plate is well preserved and looks like a new product that has just come out of the kiln. Naturally, no one would think that it is an authentic product.
Anyone who is into collecting has heard the saying that old things are as good as new.
Unfortunately, many people don’t necessarily understand the origin of this sentence!
The so-called old utensils are as new as new, which is formed by a specific environment.
For example: the daily-use porcelain and sacrificial porcelain produced by Jingzhen Imperial Kiln Factory especially for the palace have never been unpacked.
There are still porcelains from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that have never been unpacked in the Forbidden City.
When you take apart such porcelain, you will find that after more than 200 years, these porcelains are still the same as newly made because there are no traces of use!
The so-called old appliances that can be seen on the market are mostly newly made.
Whether it is a high imitation or a fine imitation, or even a so-called copy of the original, it will still have its own characteristics, and these characteristics are new!
And even though it has been artificially processed, you can still see obvious traces of the kiln fire!
This cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. You can only feel it if you read more, study more, and speculate more!
Everyone who collects money is thinking about cashing out, and there is nothing wrong with this.
But something that can be sold at a high price in the market may not be the real thing.
This must be understood first. After all, too many people have never seen or seen too little of the real thing.
Most people who go to museums just take a quick look, and only a very small number of people ask questions to seek answers!
Therefore, you must first understand the concept of old utensils as new, and then look at the so-called "collection" of old utensils as new in your hands with many questions.
In this way you can continue to learn and improve, otherwise you will become a taker again!
Chen Wenzhe also made the mistake of empiricism at the beginning. When he saw this kind of plate, he would naturally choose to avoid it, that is, he would not think that the old utensils are as good as new.
However, when he got serious, he was able to quickly discover that this was a treasure that was as old as new.
Li Jinli has made a fortune this time. He must have spent a lot of money on so many imitations he bought before.
And just this one thing should be able to make his money back and make him rich.
You must know that Jihong glaze has never been a simple glaze color. This kind of single-color glaze porcelain has always been synonymous with expensiveness.
Sacrifice red glazed porcelain was first created in Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, and was created by JDZ during the Xuande period. It was named after the royal family often used it as a sacrificial vessel for offering sacrifices to suburban altars.
Because the production atmosphere of Jihong glaze is difficult to control, the production is complicated, and it costs a lot of money, but the yield is extremely low, so it is more expensive.
At that time, it had the reputation of "one vessel from a thousand kilns, one from thousands of miles", and its reputation was far higher than that of many red glazes in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
During the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty, Jihong reached its artistic peak, but was lost in the late Ming Dynasty.
During the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty, with the support and participation of the emperor, they devoted all their efforts to re-burning Jihong.
Unfortunately, after the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, the firing of Jihong glaze was lost again.
Jihong represents the supreme imperial power and strict hierarchy. All are fired in imperial kilns, and private kilns are not allowed to produce them.
If you violate this rule, serious cases may even lead to beheading.
In order to ensure the royal family's monopoly on Ji-red glazed porcelain, even if the Ji-red glazed porcelain produced by the imperial kiln factory was broken or defective, it would be broken into pieces and buried deeply, and the red flakes would not flow into the private sector.
Qianlong also wrote a poem: "After the rain, the clouds are drooping, and the sunset is shining when the solitary swan flies. The mud is clear, the iron is dyed with red sand, and this pottery bowl is made of clay."
This is a ruby red glazed bowl that commemorates the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, which shows his love for bright red glazed porcelain.
It is not easy to burn pure Jihong.
It was described in the "jdz Pottery Song" written by Gong Shi of the Qing Dynasty: "The ancient kilns of the official period are very red, and it is most difficult to spend all the time on all the work. The frosty and clear paintings are carefully combined, and the same ones are fired differently."
Therefore, even Ji-red glaze porcelain from the Qing Dynasty is very expensive.
Not to mention other things, Chen Wenzhe knows that there are quite a few with prices exceeding one million.
For example, a red-glazed olive vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty was only 30 centimeters high, and its transaction price reached 800,000.
Kangxi Ji Red color is thick and uneven, with uneven glaze edges;
When dried in the Yong Dynasty, the color is stable, with orange peel lines and brown eyes on the glaze;
The edge glaze is neat and devitrified, so the Ji-red glaze porcelain of Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns is more expensive.
Chen Wenzhe knows that the price of the Ji-red glaze porcelain from the three dynasties is usually three to five million, and many of them exceed tens of millions.
There is actually a reason for this. It is because Jihong glaze is a high-temperature glaze and the firing technology requirements are too high.
】
In particular, it is greatly affected by the atmosphere in the kiln, so it is extremely rare to produce pure and uniform colors.
Coupled with the shortage of firing materials, it gradually declined after Xuande. It was not until Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty that it was successfully fired again, and it reached its peak during the Yongzong and Qianlong reigns.
Firing continued in all subsequent dynasties, but the quality never reached the level of previous generations.
Therefore, the sacrificial red glaze from the Yong and Qian dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is considered to be of the highest quality.
Especially in the Yongzheng official kilns of the Qing Dynasty, the firing technology was mature under strict systems.
At this time, there were many fine red-glazed utensils used for display and appreciation, mostly in the shapes of plates, bowls, jade pots and spring vases, but there were very few small ornamental utensils with unique shapes.
"jdz Pottery Song" in the mid-Qing Dynasty said: "It is most difficult to spend all the money on good work in an ancient kiln."
This record is particularly prominent in the chapter "Cutting Utensils and Making Blanks" in the "Taoye Atlas" written around the third year of Qianlong's reign.
There are more than ten kinds of various kinds of red-glazed porcelain placed in front of the blank room, which shows the prosperity of firing at that time.
