She continued: "That Clark bottle is 1.6 meters high."
A bottle with a height of 1.6 meters? Isn’t that the height of Xiaoxuan?
I gradually calmed down and said: "Such a big one is indeed rare, I have never heard of it, but even so...it's not worth the effort you put in, right?"
To be honest, even if Clark porcelain is large, it is still exported porcelain. It can only be said that large porcelain is rare among its kind, and its upper limit has been set there.
It's like a plate of cucumbers in a restaurant. Even if you make it delicious, it won't sell for the same size plate of sea cucumbers and abalones.
A Clark bottle as tall as Xiaoxuan can be sold for 200,000 yuan.
"No..." I immediately frowned and said, "Such a big bottle must have been burned not only for decoration, but also to contain something inside??"
"Awesome, you can guess all this, Shenyan Peak is worthy of its name."
"look."
She opened the photo album on her mobile phone and showed me a photo of a blue and white porcelain vase.
This bottle stands in the corner, tall and big.
It has a long neck, a curled mouth, a big belly, and the whole body is made of asphalt blue and white. The hair color is thick and dark blue, and the blue and white pattern should be a traditional painting of a hundred flowers blooming.
The whole circle around the belly of the bottle is hollowed out, and there are densely packed small eyes all around. The belly is a bit like a hornet's nest.
"How about it, Xiang Bituou, do you see the problem?"
I took her cell phone closer and suddenly discovered that the bottle seemed to be filled with something, a lump like fine sand. The picture was not very clear.
"earth?"
"What's in this bottle?"
She took back her phone and said, "Brothers Pengcheng are from Pengcheng. Do you know that there used to be a famous ceramic research institute in Pengcheng?"
I said that I knew that many masters of Cizhou Kiln used to be in that ceramic research institute.
She nodded and said: "Yes, the Ceramics Research Institute was closed in 1992, and many things in the warehouse were returned to the Hebei Provincial Museum. This large Clark-style bottle is a prototype. The people in the institute used it to study how the ancients fired it without deformation.
of."
"However, the most important thing is not this. It is the soil in the bottle. There is at least more than 200 kilograms of Ma Cang soil in it."
"Asakura soil!"
"More than 200 kilograms!"
I was frightened, so I quickly asked: "Is it the macang soil from the Royal Kiln Factory?"
She said of course.
I couldn't help but take a breath.
Macang Mountain near Jingdezhen produces Macang soil, also known as "Makeng old soil". This kind of clay was actually exhausted in the late Yuan Dynasty. It just disappeared and could not be dug.
Later, the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty had some inventory, which was used until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and Macangtu disappeared from history.
In the Qing Dynasty, one tael of soil could be exchanged for 10 taels of gold, which Qianlong and Yongzheng could not find even if they wanted to use it.
You must understand a concept.
Laokeng Macang clay is not the same as the kaolin clay used in making porcelain today. The difference between the two is just a dime and a million dollars.
I estimate that if there are 200 kilograms of Laokeng Macang soil in the big bottle, it can be converted into at least 400 kilograms of gold!
Gold can be bought with money, but this kind of gold cannot be bought with earthly money. It was no longer available five hundred years ago.
Some people will definitely say: "Only fools want soil! I want gold!"
Only people who don’t understand say that.
People who understand understand the true value of this kind of soil.
The biggest difficulty in counterfeiting is the lack of Ma Cang soil.
In modern times, if this kind of soil is used, many porcelains can be imitated, and even powerful experts will not be able to spot them, such as Yuan blue and white, doucai chicken cup, grape pattern Sanqiu cup, and Chenghua seahorse pattern Tianzi jar.
Each of these items easily costs over 100 million.
How many pieces can be burned from 200 kilograms of old maocang soil?
Once this thing falls into the hands of Company J, the consequences can be imagined! I think all domestic museums, as well as a group of masters, experts, and collectors will be fooled!
No wonder their company attaches so much importance to...
I was just thinking wildly when I saw the Haier brothers coming back one after another.
"You two have been waiting for a long time. How about I just drink this wine and see that the hot girl is in the hotel?"
Miss Xu smiled and said, "Already here."
"hehe."
Boss Peng smiled heartily and said with a smile: "Then let's not talk about business today. The two of us brothers will go meet the hot girl from Sichuan and we will fight her for three hundred rounds."
