If this flower-mouthed vase was originally a high imitation, then now it is an authentic fine imitation, made by a master from a hundred years ago during the Republic of China period.
Even Chen Wenzhe suspected that the craftsmanship of this work came from Jingzhen.
As for the final inscription of the Qianlong imperial system, it must be the result of the war and the technology being a bit out of date.
Many of the porcelain workers of that period were illiterate. What they inherited was craftsmanship. As for the historical and cultural heritage, what is it? Can it be eaten?
That's why this low-level error occurs.
After placing the things, Chen Wenzhe walked along the exhibition stand, intending to appreciate some other people's collections.
It had to be said that the standards of this exchange meeting were really high. After just a few glances, he knew that the value of the things in front of him should exceed 100 million.
The place he was just now was an exhibition stand from the Kangxi period, and a few steps forward were works from the Qianlong period.
The reason why I noticed this work is that it is a revolving bottle, and looking at its craftsmanship characteristics, it feels a bit like Professor Tao's craftsmanship.
However, upon closer inspection, this thing is actually Professor Tao's collection.
As for whether it was a modern handicraft or a contemporary Qianlong treasure, Chen Wenzhe really couldn't figure it out for a while.
This is a pastel hollowed-out revolving vase with a fish-playing-in-the-water pattern made in the 30th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1730).
The production process is really too complicated. Even if you are allowed to imitate something like this, it would be very difficult for you to successfully imitate it.
This bottle has exquisite patterns and elegant colors.
Red and yellow, it is better than cloud brocade.
The body of the bottle is hollowed out with pink green glaze, and the patterns of Kui and Phoenix are in pairs.
The layout is well-proportioned and very dynamic.
The most important thing is that it is divided into two layers: inner and outer. It has a unique shape, with a hollow exterior and a traditional Chinese blue and white lotus vase inside.
Through the hollow part of the outer bottle, you can clearly see the exquisite blue and white pattern on the inner bottle.
The whole body is decorated with four groups of splendid pastels with illuminated Pisces patterns and complex and exquisite hollowing techniques, exuding a royal aura everywhere.
Look at the glaze surface, which is warm and moist, with slightly orange lines, the soles are wide and thick, and the ridges of the feet are round and smooth.
The inner container of the bottle is glazed with white glaze, making the glaze white and moist.
The blue and white depict the twining flowers, the blue is rich and bright, calm and quiet.
It can be said that everything is top-notch craftsmanship.
The value of this porcelain bottle is mainly reflected in its exquisite craftsmanship.
The success of making the bottle within the bottle shows that the skills of Jingzhen porcelain craftsmen during the Qianlong period had reached their peak.
The decoration on the bottle body has a clear combination of Chinese and Western colors, and it should be a reward from the emperor to foreign envoys.
Currently, in addition to a similar collection in the Wanwan Forbidden City, one was auctioned in England not long ago, and this is the third one to be discovered in the world, which is considered rare.
Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that Professor Tao still had a treasure of this level in his hands.
Needless to say, the price of this thing must be over 100 million.
If he had known that Professor Tao still had a treasure of this level in his hands, Chen Wenzhe would have thought of a way to get a hold of it, but it was not too late now.
He withdrew his gaze and looked elsewhere.
I won’t read the ones from the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, no matter how superb the craftsmanship is, it should not be able to surpass this treasure of Professor Tao.
As long as he touches it, he can make all the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty from now on.
After walking around for a while, I came to a place with a lot of people. Sure enough, there must be good things in a place with a lot of people.
What he saw this time was another famous treasure, which could also be said to be a national treasure.
In the exhibition stand not far away is a Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken jar cup.
No matter who it is, they can recognize it at a glance, right?
This is also in Dahai City. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see treasures of this level in other places.
I looked at the nameplate and saw that this was the collection of Mr. Liu, a famous collector in Dahai City.
He bought this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup at the 2014 Hong Kong Suzhou Fubi Spring Auction for a transaction price of HK$281.24 million, setting a new world auction record for Chinese porcelain.
The chicken bowl cup, previously estimated at HK$200 million to HK$300 million, is also the highest-valued ancient Chinese porcelain item at this auction.
And the reason for all this lies in another craft, that is Douchi.
The doucai craft was created during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. It uses blue and white outlines and multi-colored fillings, which means that the blue and white are competing with the colorful porcelain.
The chicken jar cup is one of the colorful cups in Ming Dynasty. It is a small wine cup decorated with a picture of a hen, and a rooster and a hen are shown leading the chicks to forage for food.
The chicken pot cup is colorful and bright, soft and smooth like jade, and the painting is more frank and pleasant.
Chen Wenzhe has long wanted to touch a chicken cup, but unfortunately, he never had the chance.
But now, although things are very close at hand, it is extremely difficult to touch them!
It seems that the opportunity is still in Professor Tao's hands.
At some point, let Professor Tao contact Mr. Liu. At that time, he may have the opportunity to touch the collection of that boss.
Unable to get closer, we could only watch from a distance. After looking for a while, we couldn't see any flowers, so Chen Wenzhe had no choice but to leave.
Not far away, a blue and white Ruyi plum vase with hanging shoulders, folded branches, flowers and fruits from the Ming Dynasty and Yongle period seemed a bit neglected.
However, this thing has been auctioned before, and 32 pieces of it were auctioned for a total turnover of nearly HK$560 million.
Among them, this Ming Yongle blue and white Ruyi plum vase with hanging shoulders, folded branches, flowers and fruits was sold for a high price of HK$168 million.
This plum vase is 36.5 centimeters high, with delicate and soft patterns and well-proportioned shapes. It is a rare masterpiece of Yongle porcelain.
The pre-auction estimate was HK$80 million to HK$100 million. At the auction that day, there were 29 rounds of bidding on this lot. In the end, a telephone buyer represented by the international director of Sotheby's Chinese Art Department won.
Unexpectedly, this thing appeared here quietly.
It can also be seen from this that the standards of this exchange meeting are really high.
Chen Wenzhe, who was a little proud at first, felt embarrassed this time.
The things he brought looked like clowns no matter how you looked at them at this moment.
Sighing in his heart, Chen Wenzhe complained a little to Professor Tao. If he had known that this was the case, why would he have brought over the large jar with cloud and dragon pattern!
He really didn't believe it anymore. When I brought that thing over, it couldn't hold down the previous chicken cup. At least it could hold up more than the Yongle blue and white plum vase in front of me, right?
"Huh? Is this the azure glaze sunflower wash from Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty?"
He had read a lot of transaction information in pawn shops recently, otherwise he would not have known how much this thing could be sold for.
Relying on his super memory, Chen Wenzhe knew clearly that this treasure was on the morning of April 4, 2012. Xiangjiang Sufubi held an auction of important Chinese porcelain and handicrafts "Azure Color - Japanese Collection of Northern Song Dynasty Ru Porcelain"
One of the lots.
At that time, this Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure-glazed sunflower wash came out on top, and was finally sold for a sky-high price of HK$278.6 million (US$26.65 million).
It is said that the buyer was Liu Luanxiong, a famous collector in Xiangjiang. That auction also set a new world auction record for Song Dynasty porcelain.
