Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters into the urn (a)
Chapter 866: Entering the Urn (1)
Whether it is the previous Tang Sancai or the two imitation Cizhou kiln pieces in front of me, the distressing craftsmanship can be said to be impeccable. At least Zhuang Rui cannot see the flaws with his naked eyes.
Times are developing and science and technology are advancing. Although many ancient porcelain-making techniques have been lost in the long river of history, the wisdom of modern people will only be better than that of the ancients, especially when antiques are made.
It is estimated that in a few decades, these fake utensils may not even be able to detect carbon 14.
Picking up the broken porcelain from the ancient kiln site provided by Xu Guoqing, Zhuang Rui compared it with the two pieces of porcelain. Because the broken porcelain was unearthed earlier, the black glaze body was slightly whitish, while the aged porcelain was highlighted.
It shows the characteristics of newly unearthed porcelain, and the color is relatively bright.
"Gao, what a master!"
Zhuang Rui secretly sighed in his heart, it was a good thing he gave this object to Li Dali, otherwise Zhuang Rui really didn't know if someone else could make this porcelain so lifelike. He was a professional after all.
"Teacher Zhuang, are these two pieces of porcelain from the Song Porcelain Official Kiln?"
"Teacher Zhuang, is it a new imitation or an old item?"
"Hurry up and tell us. If you want to tell the truth, you must keep them today..."
Zhuang Rui looked at it for a while. It took nearly 20 minutes before he put the two pieces of porcelain back. The people below had been waiting impatiently and immediately started asking questions impatiently.
"Ahem..."
Zhuang Rui coughed, and all the chatter below immediately disappeared. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on Zhuang Rui. Even the Japanese people pricked up their ears and were ready to listen to Zhuang Rui.
explain.
Zhuang Rui took the microphone handed over by Li Dali and said: "The shapes of these two pieces of porcelain, one is for viewing and playing, and the other is a daily necessities, which is more in line with the characteristics of Cizhou porcelain...
As for the porcelain itself, the glaze color is pure and the paste is thick. From the three words "Chunxing Palace" on the bottom, we can see that this should be the residence of a concubine. Song official porcelain often has utensils signed with the palace name. From this
Judging from one point, it looks a bit like Song Guan porcelain.
However, compared with the broken porcelain, the color of this porcelain seems too bright. There are two possibilities. One is that it is new porcelain itself, and the other is that it was better protected in the soil and was wiped after being unearthed...
Of course, the above-mentioned opinions are my superficial personal opinions. After all, I don’t know much about Song Ci. I’ll just say it and everyone can just listen to it..."
This matter made Zhuang Rui a little difficult to deal with today. Is it true? The people in the country were designated to be involved, but if it was false, don't scare away those island countries. In the end, Zhuang Rui just
Can give an ambiguous answer.
"Teacher Zhuang, is this the official porcelain of the Song Dynasty? You can give me an accurate answer..."
"Yes, I was still confused after listening to it for a long time. Do we want to film it or not?"
"Brother Zhuang, we are old friends. If you are right, if you are true, I will demolish the house and sell the land, and take them down too..."
After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, there was another uproar below. Several bosses who had been in contact with Zhuang Rui even pretended to take Zhuang Rui as their leader. As long as Zhuang Rui said it was true, it seemed that
They are really willing to spend all their money to take pictures of these two objects.
After Zhuang Rui heard what the man said, he waved his hands and said: "Everyone, you all know that I am a jade player, and I don't have a deep study of porcelain. I really can't be sure about these two objects. Otherwise,
Let’s ask Teacher Jin to come up and take a look?”
After Zhuang Rui said these words, everyone in the venue remembered that this young man was also known as the "Emerald King" of the North. It was indeed a bit difficult for him to appraise porcelain.
"No, Brother Zhuang, I can't see the object you're not sure about. But Brother Zhuang has already analyzed the front and back of the object. Let's make up our own minds..."
When Fatty Jin heard Zhuang Rui's words, he shook his head like a rattle. He knew how weak he was and did not dare to speak out about this controversial object.
Seeing that they could not count on Zhuang Rui, the amateur collectors surrounded the exhibition table again, and relying on the strength of the crowd, intentionally or unintentionally excluded the Japanese.
However, the level of these people is really just one bottle of vinegar and half a bottle of vinegar. They are a whole Qianmen Street lower than Zhuang Rui. They can't see anything at all. In the end, they returned to the chair with a confused look on their faces.
.
"Mr. Li, we have finished reading, let's get started..."
"Yes, it's already past noon, and it's time to go eat. Let's start shooting..."
"Yes, yes, Teacher Zhuang, I'll treat you to a treat later, and you must show your respect..."
Perhaps they had a tacit understanding, as soon as these domestic collectors sat down, they all urged Li Dali to come.
Firstly, they didn’t want to give the Japanese time for appraisal, and secondly, if these two pieces of porcelain were really genuine, they would be able to fish in troubled waters and get them at a relatively low price.
At their core, these collectors still want to be speculators in the antiques market, and there are only a few who have pure minds.
"Li Jun, I hope to see these two pieces of porcelain, please!"
Before everyone could finish speaking, Mr. Yehe, the president sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up and gave a fierce 90-degree bow to Li Dali on the stage. The man was so shocked that he almost fell off the stage.
"Num, men just bow, but women from this island country don't forget to bow when doing things. What kind of fucking tradition is this?"
Li Dali has been to Japan several times. In order to promote our country's prestige, he once found several Japanese women. For this purpose, he also found a translator to learn a few simple Japanese sentences.
But what makes Boss Li depressed is that every time when he is having a good time, as long as he opens his mouth and says a certain command, the Japanese woman on his crotch will immediately nod his head and say "haha", so this
Only then was he startled by Nogo's sudden movement.
"Okay, look, China is a country of etiquette, and you can't see any flowers anyway..."
Li Dali waved his hand and said: "Guys, please take a look, don't be in a hurry..."
"Damn, damn traitor..."
"Giving a son without an asshole..."
"It is not a good thing to curry favor with an island country..."
As soon as Li Dali finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the audience. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough for Boss Li to hear. Li Dali's face turned green and he almost couldn't hold his breath.
In fact, these people can sit and talk without pain in their backs. If a Japanese company were to invest in them, their attitude would probably be even lower.
"Yamaki-kun, what do you think?"
Nohe and Yamaki each took an object, and after checking it for about ten minutes, they put it down at the same time.
"President Yehe, judging from the shape and texture of this porcelain, there is no doubt that it is Cizhou kiln, but ordinary Cizhou kiln porcelain is definitely not as exquisite in production, so I suspect that this is the Cizhou official kiln porcelain in the records..."
There is a book in the Shanmu family written in the mid-Qing Dynasty about the ceramics of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. It has a detailed description of the Cizhou porcelain of the Song Dynasty, and also mentions the Cizhou kiln's tribute to the royal family, so Yehe asked Shanmu for his opinion.
And this Yamaki also has an identity unknown to Zhuang Rui. His father is the same Yamaki Ichiro that Zhuang Rui met in Hebei more than half a year ago.
Out of dignity, after returning to Japan, Yamaki Ichiro did not speak out about his experiences in China. Instead, he kept urging his research institute to step up the development and research of Cizhou official porcelain.
It's just that unforeseen circumstances bring misfortunes and misfortunes to people. One month after returning to Japan, Ichiro Yamaki suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction and died at home.
As his son, Shan Mu came to China this time to fulfill his father's last wish and wanted to buy a Cizhou official kiln porcelain that his father could not see until his death.
"Well, Mr. Yamaki, I agree with you. These Chinese people are short-sighted and cannot identify the authenticity of this piece of porcelain. Only we can understand the connotation of ceramic culture..."
Nohe glanced at Yamagi with admiration. He was a China expert, especially the porcelain from past dynasties in China. After careful appraisal, Nohe could not find any flaws in these two pieces of porcelain.
Moreover, he was somewhat dismissive of Zhuang Rui's behavior of appraising porcelain as a jade expert. In Nohe's view, the knowledge of ceramics alone was enough for a person to ponder for a lifetime.
The Japanese nation has its merits, but it must be said that their way of thinking has great flaws and it is easy to go to extremes.
This is the case for Nohe. Decades of in-depth research on porcelain has given him a strong self-confidence that is almost arrogant.
"Yamaki-kun, please bring these two pieces of porcelain back to Japan no matter what, please..."
Although Nogo is a leading figure in the study of Japanese ceramics, his financial resources are far inferior to Yamaki. After bowing slightly to Yamaki, Nogo continued: "If you can bring these two pieces of porcelain back, then after your father's death, others will seize your company.
I will help you get the club’s market share back..."
Since the death of Yamaki Ichiro, Yamaki Co., Ltd.'s business has been declining. Their original ceramic customers have now been taken away by other companies, and their market share has shrunk significantly.
So after hearing Nogo's words, Yamaki blushed a little and made up his mind to take the two pieces of porcelain back to Japan.
"Okay, everyone has finished reading. The first thing to be transferred is this artifact. The base price for the transfer is 1 million RMB. Interested friends can start bidding..."
Although the authenticity of these two pieces of porcelain was not verified on site, no one felt that the price Li Dali shouted was high.
After Li Dali called out the lowest price, Zhuang Rui fixed his eyes on the Japanese, planning for January, and he was about to die!
