Chapter nine hundred and seventy-first magnificent white Satsuma
Although Chen Wenzhe is a bit of an angry young man, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that all porcelain produced in other countries is useless.
Take this mosaic for example, it must be a treasure in the ceramic world.
However, after using backtracking, Chen Wenzhe discovered that this thing originated from Korean potters!
At the end of the 16th century, the Lord of Satsuma led his army to participate in the battle and plundered a large number of potters and ceramics from Korea.
Kim Hae, a Korean potter with superb porcelain making skills, was later ordered to build a kiln to bake porcelain, which became the beginning of Satsuma Otei Yaki.
In Neon, Korean potters and their descendant disciples played a huge role in the emergence and development of Satsuma-yaki.
It is indeed unimaginable that such exquisite porcelain came from the hands of ancient Koreans.
It’s no wonder that the current Nanbangzi people say that Confucius belongs to them.
It's a pity that they can't even write Chinese characters now. If you want to understand the past history, you can only pick up his family's constitution.
There is no way around it. Legal provisions cannot be explained clearly in their current language.
Nowadays, a name they give can have several meanings. If it is used to record legal provisions, it would be very interesting.
The loss of traditional culture is serious. No wonder they think Lao Tzu is theirs. It’s just that they haven’t understood Yin and Yang, so they shouldn’t gossip.
They only learned the four hexagrams, and they were the ominous hexagrams, yet they dared to get them on the national flag.
Of course, what they say about Satsuma ware is true. It is made by the old sticks of their ancestors. I just don’t know whether the little devil of Neon will admit it or not.
Although the neon community seems to pay little attention to this kind of art work now, it is undeniable that Satsuma-yaki is an art of mud and fire, a crystallization of fantasy and reality, and a pearl in the neon ceramics world.
Looking at the tall vase in front of him, Chen Wenzhe was really amazed.
The little devil's learning ability is still very good. Although it originated from Korean potters, in the end they passed it down.
This kind of Satsuma-yaki is a kind of milk-colored pottery, also called Satsuma-style porcelain. It can form a series, which naturally has its merits.
Large vases like this were difficult to make even in China in the 16th century.
Therefore, it must be an official kiln artifact.
To be honest, this great collector from South Vietnam is not boasting. What he collects are indeed famous products from the little Japanese.
Satsuma porcelain includes official kilns, private kilns and royal kilns, which are distributed in the southern part of Neon Kyushu Island. In ancient times, they belonged to Satsuma Kingdom and Ohsumi Kingdom.
Looking at the Gundam vase in front of me, especially the style and decoration, all prove that this vase was made by Neon.
As for the fact that apart from the current one, no other one can be found in the world, I don’t know if it’s true.
According to this great collector, according to information from the world-famous antique auction house, this vase was once a gift from the Neon Government to senior officials of the Beautiful Country.
Moreover, the bottom of the vase is also stamped by the Neon Government.
In addition to the above-mentioned vases, he also introduced a pair of rare vases.
According to this great collector, this is the only pair of vases in the world, and he bought them at a foreign private museum.
Chen Wenzhe knows that no handmade work in this world is exactly the same. From this point of view, this pair of vases should be unique in the world.
As for the craftsmanship being so unique that it is unique among Mossaki, that's not clear.
But he could tell that the craftsmanship of these three vases was indeed very good.
Unfortunately, Chen Wenzhe and the others could only take a look at these vases from a distance. The owner did not want them to get closer and take a closer look.
But this is okay. Even from a distance, Chen Wenzhe can still see the craftsmanship of this mosaic.
Even if you couldn't see it before, you can see it now.
With the activation of retrospection, he can see more, such as the creation, development and peak of Mosaicaki.
Next, under the introduction of the enthusiastic host, Chen Wenzhe saw white porcelain, black porcelain, and gold color.
Later, he actually saw turtle cracks. Although they were not ice cracks, they were rare.
Generally, Satsuma ware has exquisite cracked glaze, fine color and gold decorative patterns.
However, this craft only became popular in Satsuma on Kyushu Island at the end of the 18th century.
Kagoshima Prefecture is said to have thousands of kilns and is a kingdom of pottery.
In the history of neon, Satsuma ware has been divided into two types: "white Satsuma" and "black Satsuma".
White Satsuma ceramics are called white ivory ceramics because they were used by the lord of the Satsuma domain, that is, by the nobles. They were mostly made of vases, incense burners, tea sets, or ornaments.
Its main feature is that there are regular and fine cracks on the surface.
In addition, there are ceramics with black texture, called black satsuma, which are mainly used for daily use.
The black satsuma collected by this great collector is definitely not a daily necessities used by the people.
Especially one of the classic wine vessels, Chen Wenzhe could still recognize it.
This is a black drinking vessel called Kurochiyoko, which is a representative product of Kurosatsuma.
Seeing this, Chen Wenzhe admired this collector a little. The things he collected were really representative works of mossaki.
Mosaic porcelain looks magnificent, and it seems that it particularly likes to use gold color, which makes it even more luxurious.
For example, a large platter with chrysanthemum legs by Shen Shouguan has a wavy edge, and the edges and hand-painted orchid patterns are all gold-plated, which is very gorgeous.
If you look carefully at the glaze, you will see that it has a naturally cracked texture, which is very beautiful.
Whether it is placed as a decoration at home or actually used when entertaining guests, it is a good choice.
This should be a work by a famous artist and a modern artwork, that is, its producer is still alive.
Through backtracking, Chen Wenzhe saw that this thing was only worth four thousand yuan.
Compared to his works, they are a bit hard to buy. After all, the price of four thousand is really not that high.
Looking at the slowly piled up decorations, Chen Wenzhe realized a little bit. Do these foreigners like magnificent things?
Is something like this considered a rarity?
According to the owner, this chrysanthemum leg work from Shen Shouguan's family is very rare and needs to be booked 3 to 6 months in advance to buy it.
Chen Wenzhe shook his head when he saw this. If he wanted to collect something like this, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to be sent abroad?
But now that you’ve seen it, let’s learn from it.
Naturally, the owner would not cherish this kind of modern artwork too much, so Chen Wenzhe could get started with it.
While everyone else was listening to the master's boast, Chen Wenzhe took a plate and looked at it carefully.
This is a Kheishan kiln plate with a traditional Satsuma-yaki flower pattern painted on it.
The same situation also occurs on this plate, which also uses a large amount of gold foil, especially the fine pattern painted on the center, giving it a luxurious and gorgeous look.
