Han Rongguang said: "Brother, you are too humble. There will definitely be no problem with the things you like. And what I admire most about you is that this kind of vision is not something ordinary people can achieve!"
Han Rongguang admired Han Guangrong endlessly. A mere thousand yuan was exchanged for a piece of ancient porcelain of immeasurable value, which meant "turning waste into treasure". However, he was even more interested in the promise made by Han Guangrong, so
He sang and harmonized with Han Guangrong, and he was planning to plot against Han Kongque.*
Han Kongque naturally knew that these two guys would not be dismissed so easily, so he shook his head and said: "I'm not humble, I'm just telling the truth. After all, my knowledge is very limited, and I haven't seen many of this kind of fine porcelain. I can't appraise it."
This kind of porcelain requires a lot of experience in appraising it, so it takes a lot of masters to really not make mistakes!"
That's what he said, but in fact, Han Kongque was more accurate than anyone else in determining the age of this porcelain, and he also had unshakable authority. Based on the analysis of the characteristics of the porcelain, Han Kongque knew that it was genuine.
But now some high imitations are almost the same as the real ones, enough to look fake, so even the most powerful experts may have their eyes peeled. So when Han Kongque said this, Han Guangrong and Han Rongguang had no reason to refute.
"That's true." Han Rongguang nodded and said, "Brother, don't you know a lot of masters? Why don't you just go and see them?" Han Rongguang said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Of course this is no problem, but it will take time."
"How much time will it take?" Han Rongrong asked eagerly.
Although there was no doubt about the age of the porcelain in his hands, he could not judge the value of the porcelain. Han Kongque was well-informed and could naturally set a price for it.
Han Kongque said: "It should take a few days! I will notify you after the identification is completed."
"Yeah." Han Guangrong said.
After chatting for a while, Han Kongque ignored Han Guangrong and Han Rongguang. The two brothers felt bored and a little lost, so they walked to the other side to chat with other people.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Han Kongque secretly smiled for a while and couldn't help but start working again. Although the stain on the surface of the porcelain was completely removed, there was also a thin layer of red paint on the inside, which naturally had to be removed.
, otherwise it will affect the viewing experience.
I was busy until about nine o'clock in the evening before I finally finished it. The whole piece of porcelain returned to its original color. It is colorful and dazzling.
"The large Chenghua doucai jar of the Ming Dynasty can be called an outstanding representative of Chenghua official kilns. The total number of similar utensils in existence is only a dozen, and most of them are collected by the world's top museums, such as the Palace Museum in Beijing, the National Museum, and the Shanghai Museum.
, Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, USA, etc.
Look at the simple and gorgeous patterns painted on the belly of this jar. It seems simple, but in fact it has infinite meaning, because this kind of porcelain has been recorded by the auction house before, and it sold for a high price of nearly 30 million, and it was a long time ago.
If you send it to an international auction company now, it will cost at least hundreds of millions to get it. If the competition is fierce, it is possible to achieve a sky-high price!!"
Seeing Han Kongque smirking at the porcelain, Chen Qing smiled and said, "Did you fool those two silly brothers?"
Han Kongque was stunned and looked up at Chen Qing, as well as Gu Lie and Yuan Peng beside him. The others had dispersed at this time, some were chatting aside, and some had gone home.
Han Kongque said: "I can't fool them. Otherwise, these two guys will cause trouble for me again when they have money."
"What on earth is this? I've heard that the chicken jar cup from the Chenghua period is a national treasure. How does this big jar compare to the chicken jar cup?" Gu Lie used to hang out with Han Peacock in the antique street, so he was interested in some famous ones.
I still know a little bit about antiques.
"What is a chicken cup?" Yuan Peng didn't know much about this, so he asked.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "The Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. The Chicken Urn Cup is one of the Chenghua Doucai cups of the Ming Dynasty. It is a drinking utensil with an open mouth, shallow belly and lying feet. Because the cup body is painted with Doucai lines, chicken pecks
The baby is fed early, and the posture is lifelike, supplemented by peonies, orchids, and pillar stone patterns, hence the name."
After Gu Lie glanced at Yuan Peng with disdain, he said: "The Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was the royal wine cup of Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the high requirements of the emperor's family during the firing, the yield was not high. The top quality was offered to the palace.
Defective products were destroyed, so very few were circulated to the public.
The Ming Dynasty Chenghua color cockfighting cup is less than the size of a palm. It was fired during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, more than 600 years ago. There are only 10 Ming Chenghua color cockfighting cups in the world that are recognized as authentic and well-preserved.
, 4 of them are in the hands of private collectors, and the rest are collected by museums. There are still vacancies in public museums in China."
"So the price of the chicken cup is very high?" Yuan Peng ignored Gu Lie and said to Han Peacock.
Han Kongque said: "The chicken bowl cup is so smooth, waxy and gentle that no words can describe it. The craftsmanship of this kind of chicken bowl cup can never be made now. At that time, it had reached the top level, and people in later generations will know it."
It cannot be broken through, so the price is very high.
The reason why it is so expensive is entirely because during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the craftsmen of the official kiln used blue and white materials to draw outlines on the blanks. After painting, they attached white glaze. They were fired into the kiln at 1200c high temperature to make porcelain, and then the blank spaces of the blue and white outlines were filled in.
Red, green, yellow, purple and other colors are then fired in a low-temperature kiln at 800c for a second time. The underglaze blue and white colors compete with the overglaze colors, so they are named "Ducai".
Due to the difficulty of the craftsmanship, there were documents from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty that said the chicken jar cup was "worth 100,000 yuan." On April 8 this year, a Ming Chenghua fighting color chicken jar cup was sold at Sotheby's in Hong Kong for 281.24 million Hong Kong dollars. Now,
There are about 15 known chicken bowl cups in the world, only 3 are in circulation on the market, and the others are collected by major museums."
"Two hundred and eighty million, are these people crazy?" Yuan Peng was speechless for a while.
Han Peacock chuckled and said: "In addition to the Ming Chenghua Chicken Cup, the most famous thing in the Chenghua period was the Doucai Tianzi Jar. People have always known that the Ming Chenghua porcelain was precious, and the Ming Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Jar was even more precious.
It is a treasure among treasures.
There are a total of 12 universally recognized Ming Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jars, which are collected in the National Palace Museum in the capital (3 pieces), the National Palace Museum in Taipei (4 pieces), Aoshima Museum (1 piece), and the Tokyo National Museum in Japan (1 piece).
Only), the British Museum (1), the Davis Foundation (1) and the Harvard University Art Museum (1).
There is still half of it, which is a Mingcheng Hua Dou Cai Tianzi jar with a flying elephant pattern that was auctioned by Sotheby's in the UK in 2001 because the jar mouth was damaged and part of the mouth was cut off. This Tianzi jar
It was eventually acquired by Eskenazi, a famous British antique dealer."
"You're not saying that this piece of porcelain is worth hundreds of millions, right?" Chen Qing and the others asked almost in unison.
Han Kongque just smiled and did not answer. The Mingcheng Hua Dou Cai Tianzi jar he is holding is 23.3cm high, 13.7cm in diameter, and 14.2cm in foot diameter. The jar has a short straight neck, plump shoulders, and gradually converges below the shoulders.
, with a circle foot. The lid is flat and has no buttons. The outside of the jar is decorated with bucket-colored patterns: the shoulders and near the feet are decorated with a banana leaf pattern on the back. The belly is decorated with a seawater double dragon pattern, and the top of the lid is decorated with a seawater dragon pattern.
The carcass of this vessel is delicate and white, the glaze is smooth and smooth, and the colors of red, green and yellow are matched. It is harmonious and bright. The color and pattern of the lid and the body of the jar are different. The jar has a straight mouth, short neck, and plump shoulders. It gradually tapers below the shoulders.
Collect, circle the foot.
The whole body is decorated with fighting colors, the belly is painted with four sea beasts, sea water cliffs, and cloud patterns. The shoulders and near the bottom are painted with the lower cover and the upper banana leaf pattern. The outer bottom is decorated with the Chinese character "天" in blue and white regular script.
The carcass of this jar is light and thin, with strong light transmittance. The decoration on the outer wall can be seen from the inner wall. The decoration is mainly red and blue, supplemented by yellow and green, which is bright and pleasing to the eye.
The sea water is turbulent, the waves are splashing, and the sea beast's shape is composed of an elephant head and a lion's body. It rises into the air and is extremely ferocious. It reflects the superb painting skills of the porcelain craftsmen of Jingde Town Imperial Ware Factory during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the word "天" is written on the outer bottom of this jar, it is commonly known as the "Tianzi jar". It is a famous product among Chenghua doucai porcelain. This Chenghua doucai Tianzi jar has been treasured in the palace. It is in the palace archives of Yongzheng and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
It is called "Cheng Kiln Wucai Jar" or "Cheng Kiln Tianzi Jar" in Chinese.
The Ming Chenghua Doucai Grape Pattern Tianzi Jar is the most important achievement of Chenghua porcelain and the success of Doucai firing. The Chenghua Doucai porcelain body is thin and light, the glaze is smooth, the color is bright, and the picture is clear and elegant.
Representative works such as chicken jar cups, Chenghua doucai bowls with three autumn patterns, Coats cups, grape cups, baby play cups, grape pattern sky-shaped jars, etc., are all unparalleled masterpieces.
The quality of official kiln products in the Chenghua period was extremely particular. The style of doucai porcelain changed during the Chenghua period. Its color changed from rich and bright to light and elegant, with purple colors such as the black purple of ripe grapes or the light purple of eggplant peels. The special thing is
Bright purple, color like hematite, dry and matte surface, can be used as a special basis for identifying Chenghua Doucai.
Complete vessels of the Ming Cheng Hua Dou Cai Tian Zi jar are rare, so the price is very high, while the price of the remaining vessels is much lower, which is less than one-tenth of the price of the complete vessel.
But as long as it is a complete Chenghua Tianzi jar, its value will definitely exceed 100 million yuan. Official kiln jars with Tianzi in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty are mainly found on Chenghua Dou colored jars. This kind of jar can be divided into long round belly and short round belly.
Two forms.
The outer bottom is glazed with white glaze, and the Chinese character "天" in regular script is written in blue and white in the center. There is no sidebar on the outside, and the pattern is decorated with dragons on the melon field, vanilla dragons, sea dragons, seahorses, walruses, lotus branches, and lotus branches.
Jixiang etc.
The cover is divided into two types, one with a flat top and no buttons, and the other with a bulging cover in the shape of an umbrella. The strokes of the word "天" are balanced, and the strokes are natural and powerful when starting and holding the pen.
Jars are mainly found on Chenghuadou colored jars.
This kind of jar can be divided into two types: long round belly and short round belly. The outer bottom is glazed with white glaze, and the regular script "天" is written in blue and white in the center. There is no sidebar outside the style.
There are two types of covers, one with a flat top and no buttons, and the other with a bulging cover in the shape of an umbrella. The strokes of the word "天" are balanced, and the strokes are natural and powerful when starting and holding the pen.
The "rice bottom" is also an important feature of Chenghua utensils: it is burned on top of the utensils, and the iron contained in the sand is folded out and attached to the exposed ring feet. It is also a Chenghua utensil.
, a basis for the identification center.
Through careful observation, Han Peacock has determined that this is a very well-preserved Mingcheng Hua Dou Cai Tianzi jar. Such a large jar is definitely more valuable than a chicken jar cup. Therefore, such a Ming Chenghua cup
It is not difficult to fetch a price of hundreds of millions for a Doucai Tianzi jar, and it is not impossible even if it exceeds the sky-high price of a chicken jar cup.
It was because the price of this Mingcheng Hua Dou Cai Tian Zi jar was too high that Han Peacock deceived Han Guangrong and Han Rongguang, but such deception would not last long.
As long as these two guys know that this is the rare Mingcheng Hua Dou Cai Tian Zi jar, they will naturally know the price. Therefore, Han Kongque still needs to find a way to keep the large amount of funds they may obtain, no
Give them a chance to have fun and have fun.
Knowing that this piece of porcelain was very valuable, Chen Qing and the others didn't say much more, but in the end Gu Lie couldn't help but said: "Recently, the ranch over there in Glory needs a large amount of funds, can we support it?"
Han Kongque said with a smile: "When I have time, I will go to his place and have a look. Then I will send a financial officer there. Han Guangrong of the province will get a lot of money and spend it extravagantly."
"You're a really hard-working brother," Chen Qing said with a smile.
Han Kongque said: "There is no way, these two guys don't have enough self-control. If they don't take this into account, they will probably become playboys."
"Rong Guang has been much more obedient recently." Gu Lie said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Han Kongque also laughed: "I haven't had time to ask, why didn't Du Wei come today?"
As the organizer, Chen Qing naturally knew Du Wei's whereabouts, so he smiled and said: "I heard that Han Rongguang deliberately caused trouble in the company, so she can't come tonight."
Han Peacock sighed and said, "Du Wei is still a bit soft-hearted."
Chen Qing said with a smile: "What are you going to ask her to do? After all, Rong Guang is your brother, how can she deal with it? After all, she is an outsider. If she really uses her evil tricks, maybe you, the eldest brother, will feel bad.
So, it’s not easy for her either.”
Han Kongque nodded and said: "This kid Han Rongguang has grown very fast recently, otherwise he would have been docile and submissive by Du Wei long ago."
"What are your plans?" Chen Qing said.
Han Kongque said helplessly: "This thing depends on fate. Anyway, I think Du Wei is a very good girl. Now I have given Han Rongguang a chance. If he doesn't know how to grasp it, let Du Wei completely replace Han."
Rong Guang, let her become a professional manager."
"So you are looking for a sister-in-law for yourself, but is this really a good idea?" Gu Lie said with a smirk.
Han Kongque rolled his eyes at him and said, "You just want the world to be in chaos. Didn't I tell you? It all depends on fate. I have already gotten them together. If there is no fate, how can I still make some chaos?"
"Don't tell me, you are really good at judging people. That Du Wei is really good. I heard that their company has been developing very fast recently." Yuan Peng said with a smile.
Han Kongque nodded and said: "As long as the game company operates well, the money will be like picking up for free."
"So you also like playing games?" Chen Qing said to Han Peacock. (To be continued...)
