If only the "Bolingdi" mark appears, even if you can't understand it, you can still determine the firing year through the decorative features of the artifact.
It's a pity that not only did no one know what Bolingdi was back then, but even the fact that blue and white was made in the Yuan Dynasty was denied.
Therefore, the words "Zhang Wenjin made on the auspicious day of June of the sixth year of Zhizheng" appear next to the Bolingdi paragraph, which is too dazzling.
Doesn't this clearly indicate that this thing is produced in a private kiln? Or is it privately customized? Or even a replica?
During the Republic of China, limited by knowledge, any possibility would appear.
Therefore, when those people discovered these two pieces of porcelain with clear dates, the first thing they thought of was not dating, but how to maximize their profits.
Everyone thinks that there was no blue and white blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty. If you come out with something that dates back to the sixth year of Zhizheng, doesn't that mean it is a fake?
This is the reason why those people rubbed off all the inscriptions and handwriting on the bottom and changed it to the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty on their own initiative.
And when this reason came to Qian Qiansheng, he definitely didn't know about it.
Therefore, the current situation has been created.
Seeing this result, Chen Wenzhe could only feel sad, because each of those handwritings was as valuable as a diamond.
Those people didn't know it at that time, but now, everyone knows that the "Bo Ling Di" series of Yuan blue and white stamps are precious.
The "Bo Ling Di" model is exquisitely designed, simple and dignified, and has a unique charm. It is the most exquisite series of Yuan blue and white porcelain discovered in recent years.
For example, in the Shendu Songtang Museum, the Yuan blue and white multicolored inscription "Zhaojun goes out of the fortress" is "ancient prime minister Bolingdi", and at the bottom is written "Zhang Wenjin made on the auspicious day of June in the eighth year of Zhizheng".
This kind of design is quite artistic as a whole, and it has the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty in terms of shape, decoration, glaze and cobalt material.
"Bo Ling Di" Yuan blue and white porcelain appears many times.
It can be said that it is found in many places in our country.
Moreover, every discovery is often accompanied by the release of a blue and white porcelain plate note card about the Yuan blue and white porcelain stored in Bolingdi's cellar.
These note boards are in the form of inscriptions, inheriting the popular method of engraving and printing since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and also leaving important clues for future generations to study Yuan blue and white porcelain.
According to the words "descendants of the Qian family" on the blue and white porcelain board of Bolingdi, Bolingdi may be related to the Qian family.
From the paintings on the note board, we can see that "Bolingdi" is a ceramic family that specializes in firing porcelain for princes and nobles.
This is like the Privy Council porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, which was fired by a specialized government-run porcelain-making institution at that time for the enjoyment of the government.
As for the "Zhang Wenjin" pattern, this is not the first time it has been found on Yuan blue and white.
More than ten pieces of royal porcelain bases from the Yuan Dynasty that have been passed down from generation to generation have been found with the three characters "Zhang Wenjin" written in writing on them.
For example, "Zhang Wenjin made it in the sixth year of Zhizheng period", "Zhang Wenjin made it on the auspicious day of June of the eighth year of Zhizheng period".
The most famous one is the pair of large elephant-ear vases with dragon patterns discovered by Englishman Hobson in 1929.
It is now in the Davit Foundation in the UK. On the bottleneck is written: "Jingtang Society, Dejiao Lane, Shuncheng Township, Yushan County, Xinzhou Road, the saint, Zhang Wenjin, a disciple, is happy to give up a pair of incense burners and vases, praying for the good luck of the family, the safety of the children, and the righteousness
Remember this good day in April of the eleventh year. Marshal Hu Jingyi makes an offering at the Xingyuan Ancestral Hall."
This was the Zhizheng period, when the Yuan Dynasty was building temples on a large scale. Zhang Wenjin happily made an incense burner and a pair of vases for the newly built Empress Temple of Jingtang Society in Dejiao.
I don’t know if the Qian family of the Yuan Dynasty is the same as the modern Qian family.
Anyway, up to now, although the Qian Qiansheng family is still relatively rich and powerful, their understanding of Yuan Qinghua is only slightly better than that of the illiterate ones.
At the end, it turned out that the two Yuan Dynasty artifacts in front of me were not inherited from Qian Qiansheng's family, but were his own in disguise through demolition.
After demolishing an old house, a cellar from the Republic of China was unearthed, which contained these two items.
In addition to these, there are some fragments, and the quality is not very good, so Qian Qiansheng does not think that these two pieces are national treasure-level Yuan blue and white pieces, right?
The reason why I came here is just to hold on to the idea of what if it can be proved that this is Xuande blue and white?
You know, Xuande blue and white porcelain is also very valuable!
Unfortunately, proving that these two items were made by Xuande is not as easy as proving that they are Yuan blue and white!
Although he did not touch the blue and white glaze red jade vase, Chen Wenzhe knew that these were products produced in the same cellar and were genuine Yuan Dynasty porcelain.
A large blue and white jar from the Yuan Dynasty and a spring vase with blue and white underglaze red jade from the Yuan Dynasty. It can be said that both of them are top-notch national treasures.
It's a pity that the commemorative/chronological mark left on the bottom was deliberately worn away.
What kind of genius idea is it to imitate two real Yuan Dynasty porcelains as Ming Dynasty Xuande porcelains?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is the limitation of the times, right?
Maybe in that era, Chen Wenzhe would also doubt life!
There is no Yuan blue and white, and I don’t know Bolingdi. When I see the messy Zhizheng year, don’t you think it is a worthless product from a private kiln?
If your mind is not right, why not just change it and make it Xuande blue and white and make a fortune?
At that time, no one thought that Yuan blue and white existed, but Ming blue and white were not cheap, and few people could not resist the opportunity.
"Old Qian, please put these two things away. After all, they are quite old."
After Chen Wenzhe's appraisal, the identities of these two pieces of porcelain were almost confirmed, so Niu Chen planned to end this farce.
Zhou Yitian also said at this time: "Old Qian, are you short of money? If you are short of money, just say it. There is no need to use such things to deceive people."
"Fuck, what are you talking about, Lao Zhou? I lack these three melons and two dates? Isn't it the purpose of our exchange meeting to bring things to exchange? Appreciate real things and gain insights from fake things. Isn't this the purpose of our exchange meeting?
?”
"Haha, Lao Qian is right. Only by knowing high imitation can we avoid pitfalls in the future. Lao Qian, please put your things away!" Professor Tao said with a half-smile.
"What should I charge? Since it is an exchange meeting, the things you bring must be exchanged. I attach great importance to rules. Now I will follow the rules. These two items are high imitations. They cost 50,000 yuan each. If you want it, young man, now
You can take it away!”
"Haha, old money, you still say you are not short of money? You actually look at fifty thousand yuan?" Zhou Yitian said again.
"Fifty thousand yuan is not money? I didn't spend any money on these two pieces of porcelain. Even if I sell them for 100,000 yuan, I will still make a profit." As he said this, Qian Qiansheng became proud again.
My expectations were too high before, so I was disappointed.
In fact, if you think about it, he didn’t spend any money to get this pair of porcelain!
Thinking of this, Qian Qiansheng felt much better.
However, there are all big collectors here, who would want to collect a pair of high imitations? Isn’t it embarrassing?
Therefore, whether they have a good relationship with Qian Qiansheng or not, they all want to see Qian Qiansheng's jokes at this time.
