Chapter 696 A series of exclamations, monthly tickets)
It was also at this time that Chen Wenzhe realized that Yuan blue and white and blue and white underglaze red were different.
He happened to have one in his hand, so when he compared it, he saw that the bubbles on these pieces of porcelain were really different.
In other words, if the high imitation Yuan blue and white needs to be aged, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.
Sure enough, when comparing the internal data of Sui Houzhizhu, the differences are very obvious.
The dead bubbles in Yuan blue and white and Yuan Dynasty underglaze red porcelain do not appear in the form of burst bubbles, but in the form of some white cotton-like crystal spots in the glaze.
They are mixed in the bubble group in the glaze, like clouds in the sky, showing a natural distribution.
Of course, not all ancient porcelain has death bubbles, especially the Longquan celadon that Chen Wenzhe produced the most.
It was also at this time that he realized how lucky he was.
The fact that Longquan celadon, which he produced in the largest quantity, did not have a large number of bubbles or burnt out is not entirely due to his skill in craftsmanship.
Because no death bubbles have been found in Longquan celadon fired throughout the ages.
This may be related to the fact that Longquan celadon adopts multiple glazing processes, and the glaze wrapped on the carcass has a high viscosity and is very thick.
Of course, Longquan celadon is not only special. For example, some porcelains with very warm glazes, obvious aging at the exposed bottom, traces of soil erosion or water leakage, and rarely found dead bubbles.
This may be related to the fact that they have been buried in a closed environment for a long time, without being exposed to sunlight or caressed by flowing air, and their natural aging rate is slow.
And this point is completely confirmed by the secret-color porcelain lotus bowl in front of Chen Wenzhe!
Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that he would learn so much just by looking at the bubbles on this secret-color porcelain.
At this time, he had a deeper understanding of secret color porcelain, Yuan blue and white porcelain, Yuan blue and white underglaze red porcelain, and Longquan celadon.
Moreover, he felt that his identification skills had also made great progress.
Especially in using the death bubble principle of ancient porcelain to identify ancient porcelain, he should be considered a master in the future!
Of course, if he wanted to, there was no way he could use the various changes he knew to make old times!
Of course, this is difficult to do because the bubble death phenomenon of porcelain is closely related to time.
At present, the hands of modern people making fakes cannot reach into the glaze of porcelain.
Then, when appraising porcelain, you can identify and select ancient porcelain by observing and summarizing the rules of bubble death. This is the practical significance of studying the death bubbles of ancient porcelain!
When he came back to his senses, he saw several people still studying the lotus bowl, and Chen Wenzhe laughed.
"How much can this Yue kiln porcelain be sold for?"
Everyone else was admiring the lotus bowl, but Cao Qingchun was studying the celadon sagger.
"The price can't be high. Although its body quality and glaze color are acceptable, it is still a sagger. The price should be between 300,000 and 500,000. This is already the highest price."
There is no dispute about the price of this sagger, it just depends on the channel of shipment.
After thorough research on this thing, it was sent to a big auction house, where it could be auctioned for up to 500,000 yuan. After deducting all kinds of expenses, it only came into hands for 300,000 yuan.
"What about this lotus bowl? It can't be calculated based on the price of Yue kiln celadon, right?" Chen Xingchen said with a smile.
Li Jinli immediately said: "Of course not, the price of ordinary Yue kiln celadon is not high."
Chen Wenzhe nodded, this piece definitely cannot be sold as ordinary Yue kiln celadon.
Even if it is a high-quality product from Yue Kiln, the price will not be much higher.
"The price of ordinary high-grade ancient porcelain is definitely not high." Chen Xingchen also said.
Yue kiln porcelain is called "high ancient porcelain" by insiders because of its ancient age.
Nowadays, domestic collectors tend to attach great importance to Ming and Qing porcelain and underestimate the ancient porcelain.
Therefore, the price of high-quality Yue kiln celadon is sometimes not high.
Of course, this is not high, compared to the official kiln utensils of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which often cost hundreds of millions.
No matter what, Yue kiln celadon still has considerable room for improvement.
The reason why Yue kiln porcelain is famous in the world is that its glaze color is similar to jade and ice, and it also has superb shapes, exquisite sculptures, and numerous utensils in various styles.
Chen Wenzhe knows this very well.
Therefore, he would not doubt that some fine celadon from Yue kilns could be sold at high prices.
For example, the butterfly pattern powder box produced by Yue Kiln sold for 16 million yuan in 18 years.
Two years ago, at an auction of ancient Chinese porcelain held in the beautiful country, a Yue kiln celadon conjoined lion-shaped vessel from the Western Jin Dynasty, 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters high, sold for a sky-high price of 10.8 million yuan.
It can be seen that the market popularity of related porcelain has slowly increased.
It can also be seen that as long as the workmanship is exquisite and the product is in good condition, the price is definitely not an issue.
And why are people unwilling to pay a high price? There is even a saying that the highest price for Yue kiln celadon is only 3.1 million?
In fact, the reason is also very simple. In the understanding of many people, Yue kiln is still a relatively rough ancient porcelain, and its craftsmanship value is not particularly great. The main value is its historical value.
Therefore, its performance at the auction was unsatisfactory. The most expensive Yue kiln porcelain at that time was auctioned for only 3.105 million yuan.
Of course, this is also due to the large quantity of ordinary Yue kiln porcelain unearthed.
Things are more expensive when they are rare. If the quantity is large, the price will naturally be low.
But you have to see that even large quantities of ordinary Yue kiln celadon can easily be sold for hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands!
Nowadays, as long as it is slightly better, it can be sold for millions or millions.
Nowadays, even tens of millions of transactions are no longer a handful. This is the trend.
Also, secret color porcelain is not a mass product.
"How much do you think this piece of porcelain is worth?"
Chen Wenzhe spread his hands and said: "I only know that it is worth at least tens of millions, but I don't know the rest. The transaction records of secret color porcelain that we can see are not very reliable!"
"Ask your colleague!" Li Jinli said immediately.
Chen Wenzhe did not shirk, he directly took a photo and sent it to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong was still as fast as ever, but this time, what he sent first was not price information, but a series of exclamations.
"It's amazing. This thing is comparable to the secret-colored porcelain from Famen Temple and Huqiu Ancient Pagoda. Well, just three of them can reach your level. You'll make a fortune!"
"This is the most recent transaction price I can find. The main reason is that there are so few of these things, few people can get them, and there is no outflow transaction record."
Late Tang and Five Dynasties, Yue kiln secret color porcelain five-tube cover statue, auction price: 29,337,745 yuan.
"How much is this?" Cao Qingchun was squeezed by Chen Xingchen and could not see clearly.
"Eight figures, close to 30 million?" Chen Wenzhe's eyes were very good.
Li Jinli said: "That is a Gai Zun. Is the price more expensive than this one?"
