"Brother Qing, this is the 'Ge Kiln'?!" Lin Haitao said in surprise. This was something he had never thought of. An inconspicuous porcelain could actually be the Ge Kiln among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.
Although Lin Haitao had little research on Ge Kiln, he had naturally heard of it and knew that this kind of porcelain was unusual and had a great origin.
No matter what, after all, it is porcelain from a famous kiln in the Song Dynasty and is valuable.
"Yes, it's Ge Kiln. Maybe you've rarely seen it before." He Qing nodded solemnly.
Lin Haitao nodded and said: "Well, yes, the ones I've seen are all fakes. Except for the one you collected, I don't have any real porcelain from the Ge Kiln of the Song Dynasty! I didn't expect to see the real thing today. It's really eye-opening."
Oh! Brother Qing, since this is a piece of Ge kiln, then why did Tianbaoxuan put it into antique porcelain and sell it at such a low price without paying any attention to it!"
He Qing shook his head and said: "That's definitely not the case. If Master Tian and the others knew that this was Ge Kiln, how could they treat it as ordinary porcelain? I don't think they noticed it and didn't think about it at all.
.”
Lin Haitao pondered: "You mean, they made a mistake? But Master Tian has so much experience and sharp eyesight, how could he make a mistake so easily?"
He Qing smiled slightly and said: "No matter how good the discernment is, people will sometimes make mistakes, right? Maybe that thing never passed through Master Tian's hands in the first place. He didn't touch it, so he didn't know it was a good thing."
Lin Haitao nodded in agreement: "Well, it should be like this. That thing is the same as other antique porcelain and ordinary old porcelain. They didn't spend much money when they received it, and they just treated it as ordinary porcelain without looking at it carefully.
Sell it, this is a mistake!"
"It should be like that." He Qing said, "The ones who really look the other way are others, the people who sell them things."
Lin Haitao laughed and said happily: "Let's not discuss how the thing came. Anyway, it has fallen into your hands and it is yours! Brother Qing, you have found another big treasure. It is not a waste."
That’s it.”
He Qing said: "I was really lucky this time. First I picked up a pair of exquisite Tang Sancai, and now I found a piece of Song Dynasty porcelain. I am very satisfied."
Lin Haitao responded: "Isn't that right? You have always been very lucky, but the key is that you have good vision. You see, we also see those things, but we don't have your vision. Otherwise, we would have missed the big one."
He Qing said: "Take your time. Once you accumulate experience, you will be able to find good things from time to time."
"I hope there will be such a day." Hearing He Qing's encouragement, Lin Haitao's spirit was lifted, and his heart was filled with hope.
With experts like He Qing guiding them, it would be strange if they don't make progress.
"Brother Qing, at first I thought this was just an imitation of Song Dynasty porcelain. At most, it was an old imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It was an imitation of an official kiln among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. It turned out to be a Ge kiln.
——What are the different characteristics of Ge Kiln, and what are the differences between it and Guan Kiln?"
Later, the two talked about the porcelain again. Lin Haitao suddenly became a "curious baby", full of doubts in his heart, waiting for He Qing to answer them one by one.
He Qing nodded slightly and replied: "Actually, you read that right. Among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, Ge Kiln and Guan Kiln are indeed quite similar and have common characteristics, but they are two different porcelains after all.
, there is a certain difference.”
"What's the difference?" Lin Haitao asked, "Why do they look the same to me? There's no obvious difference." Lin Haitao was still full of doubts and didn't know how He Qing made the difference.
Just listen to He Qing's reply: "The similarity between the two is that they both have cracks and fine lines on the surface. In fact, most of the porcelains in the Song Dynasty have this problem, but the degree is different.
"The official kiln was built in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, during the Zhenghe period of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. It was fired by the official kiln built in the Southern Song Dynasty. The official kiln mainly fired celadon. During the Daguan period, the glaze colors were moonlight, pink blue and green.
The most popular.
"The main feature of Ge Kiln is that the glaze surface has large and small irregular cracked flakes, commonly known as 'open flakes' or 'civil and military flakes'. Those as small as fish roes are called 'caviar patterns', and those that open in an arc are called 'crabs'.
Claw pattern', and the pieces with the same size are called 'hundred rubbish pieces'.
"The body of official porcelain is thicker, the azure glaze is slightly pink, and the glaze surface has large flakes. This is due to the different expansion coefficients of the body and glaze after heating. The feet of the porcelain are unglazed and are iron-black after firing.
, the glaze at the mouth is thin and the fetal bones are slightly visible, which is commonly known as the 'purple mouth and iron feet'. This is a typical feature of the official kiln porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty. Very few official kiln porcelains of the Northern Song Dynasty have been handed down, and they are very rare and valuable.
Compared with official kilns, Ge kilns are more rare and precious. According to statistics, the number of existing Ge kilns is far less than the existing Yuan blue and white pieces, so each piece can be said to be a rare national treasure and priceless!"
"So that's what it is!" After listening to He Qing's lengthy explanation, Lin Haitao suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I've learned a lesson!"
At that moment, He Qing took out a pocket-sized high-power magnifying glass from his pocket and examined the porcelain in detail.
"The 'purple mouth and iron feet' feature of the official kilns of the Song Dynasty that I just mentioned is actually a major feature of the Ge kiln and the Longquan kiln. This is the similarity between the Ge kiln and the official kiln." He Qing observed while observing
Said, "In addition to those characteristics, Ge Kiln also has a very important characteristic, which is the so-called 'gathering of beads and balls'."
"'Gathering beads and balls'?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "Brother Qing, this statement sounds quite weird, how did it come about?"
He Qing said: "The so-called 'beads and balls' are actually bubbles in the glaze. The glaze layer of Ge kiln wares is usually very thick, and the thickest part is even equal to the thickness of the body. There are bubbles in the glaze, like beads looming, like 'polymers'."
The beautiful charm of "mozhuzhu" is a traditional method to distinguish genuine and fake Ge Kiln wares.
"Sun Yingzhou, the forefather of the ceramics industry, said in his article "Identification of Porcelain of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties" that the bubbles in Guan Ge glaze are densely packed like 'beads', which means that the bubbles in Ge kiln glaze are as dense as small water droplets and are scattered all over the place.
Such features are difficult to imitate on the table, so if you want to identify a Ge Kiln, you can start from this point, otherwise the judgment may not be accurate."
"Is there still such a situation?" Lin Haitao nodded vigorously and said, "I will learn from you again!"
He Qing said: "Yes, take a closer look and see if you feel that way."
As he said this, he handed the magnifying glass to Lin Haitao. Lin Haitao took it and looked at it carefully.
The more he looked at it, the more his expression changed. As expected, the situation He Qing mentioned was clearly visible to him through the magnifying glass.
For this reason, he admired He Qing even more.
However, he didn't know something. The reason why He Qing was so sure was not based on experience or the physical sight of the naked eye, but on the power of his eyes. If he hadn't seen the past of porcelain, then he would have learned it from books.
Those things are not enough to identify a Ge kiln.
However, he has the guidance of a famous teacher and is exposed to antiques all day long. If he wants to become a great appraiser, it will be a matter of time.
"Brother Qing, how much is this Ge kiln piece worth? It must be the same as the pair of Tang Sancai you just picked up, worth tens of millions, right?" Lin Haitao suddenly asked casually.
He Qing smiled meaningfully and said: "Xiao Tao, you underestimate the value of Ge Kiln, right? If the pair of Tang Sancai were auctioned in the international art market, they would probably fetch tens of millions, but
The value of Ge Kiln is completely different."
"So it's more expensive?!" Lin Haitao asked.
"Well, it must be much more expensive." He Qing nodded solemnly and said, "Why is your kiln so expensive? The main reason is because it has a small amount of existence. As the saying goes, 'Things are rare and valuable.'
Precious. The situation of Ge kiln and Ru kiln is similar, and it is also extremely rare. At least the Ru kiln porcelain has found its kiln site.
I found a lot of Ru kiln porcelain, but no one has found the Ge kiln site yet, and there are very few porcelain pieces. If a complete Ge kiln piece is sent to a large auction house, I think its price will definitely not be higher than
Ru kiln is low-priced, and the final transaction price was at least hundreds of millions. It is not impossible to sell it for around 200 million."
"Two hundred million?!" Hearing this, Lin Haitao's eyes widened and he said with a look of surprise, "It's a sky-high price!"
He Qing said: "Well, it will be a sky-high price. In fact, even if you ask for 200 million, you may not be able to receive an authentic product. This kind of thing is a rare treasure, and it is often expensive but not marketable."
Lin Haitao said happily: "But at least you have received one now! It's unimaginable. In less than a day, you found a treasure worth hundreds of millions! I could never have dreamed of such a good thing!"
He Qing smiled and said: "This thing is indeed very good, and I need it very much. Now including this Ge kiln, the five famous kilns have basically been collected. When the museum opens, I can put them on display.
.Xiao Tao, you are the only one who knows about this matter, so don’t tell others for the time being.”
"Well, I got it, Brother Qing, don't worry, I will never say anything nonsense!" Lin Haitao nodded quickly and agreed.
He Qing said happily: "It's better not to tell anyone."
Now they are still here in the mountain city, and the things were collected from "Tianbaoxuan" at a very low price. If word gets out to the ears of Master Tian and Tian Tian and his daughter, it may cause something bad.
.
Of course, he is not afraid that Master Tian and the others will regret it, or is afraid of them, but he thinks that Master Tian and the others are very good, and he doesn't want them to feel uncomfortable after learning that a piece of Ge Kiln with a high price was taken away from the store, and something big will happen.
of negative emotions.
After chatting with Lin Haitao for a while, He Qing took him out of the room and went to the restaurant to have dinner with Che Juan and Master Pan.
After eating, Che Juan told He Qing that someone was coming to see him to discuss something important. (To be continued...)
