"By the way, let's take a look, you must not get started with it. If you can't help but play it once and want to feel the sound of the chime of the wood kiln, then this remnant weapon will be unbearable.
"The wood kiln itself is thin, and it is a remnant. If you play it, it will break immediately. We can't waste the treasure, right?" Zhang Zongbao had already picked up the tea cup to drink water to moisten his throat, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly warned him. Fan.
The last paragraph, judging from Zhang Zongbao's expression, was obviously said deliberately to liven up the atmosphere at the scene. Most of the people smiled. It is protected by a bullet-proof glass cover. Who can use it to shoot it?
Do you think everyone can master the powerful monument-slammer and powerful eagle claw skills in martial arts novels?
While the service staff removed the velvet cloth on the glass cover, a beam of light fell from the sky, illuminating the remnants of the wood kiln in the glass cover in colorful and beautiful colors, and the appearance was instantly multiplied several times.
When they heard that it was a wood kiln, everyone squeezed forward, but they were too slow to squeeze in. Shen Yu knew that once this kind of porcelain was put up for auction, he would not be able to touch it, so he was not prepared to watch it.
As for the so-called eye-opening, Shen Yu didn't have any special ideas. He had no worries in his heart. Picking up such a treasure-level porcelain requires more luck than appraisal skills.
Even if you study it for decades, if you don’t come across it, it will be wasted effort.
Of course, you can't see it now even if you want to, because there are five or six layers of people crowded inside and outside the glass cover. If you really squeeze in, if you are unlucky and knock over an old man, it will be considered a fall. It’s really bad.
However, the three large LED screens in the hall are simultaneously displaying multi-angle high-definition pictures of this remnant, ensuring that everyone in the hall can see it if they want to, and Shen Yu is no exception.
This is a three-legged brush washer with a straight mouth and a flat bottom. The glaze is azure and as delicate as jade. Its glaze color is three points more beautiful than that of the Ru kiln handed down from ancient times. It is even more like a legend. The glaze on the surface of the vessel is full of blooms. Fine grained pieces.
It is different from Guan Kiln and Ge Kiln.
The openings of Chai kiln porcelain have small fine lines, and they are opened under the glaze. This is because Chai kiln has a double layer of glaze.
The first layer of glaze is brushed on the porcelain body, and then a layer of special transparent glaze is brushed.
When the kiln is opened, due to the different expansion coefficients, fine cracks will occur, but these cracks are not enough to crack the transparent glaze on the glaze, so the fine cracks are under the glaze.
It's a pity that only half of this three-legged brush washer is left, about one-fifth less. The only good thing is that the three bottom legs are still there.
The large screen of this pen wash also provides data accurate to the decimal point, height: 5.2cm, diameter: 17.8cm, foot distance: 15.2cm.
The base is fully glazed and has three pin marks on it, as small as sesame seeds.
A pen washer is what the ancients used to hold water to wash their pens.
The ancients had to clean the brush after writing and painting so that it could be used next time.
If you throw it away on the pen holder after use, the hairs of the brush will stick together, and the brush will be useless. Therefore, in ancient times, a pen washer was a must-have in the study room in addition to pens, ink, paper, inkstones, pen holders, and paperweights.
Spare parts.
At this time, there were more people on the appreciation stage, and everyone wanted to see what the real Chai Kiln artifacts looked like.
It’s no wonder people are so enthusiastic, because firewood kilns are rare and rare.
There are many ancient records about Chai kiln, but so far there is no recognized porcelain handed down from Chai kiln.
Even the location of the kiln site is still in dispute. Suddenly a real artifact appears at the auction. Even if it is a residual artifact, if you have seen it with your own eyes, it will be a lot of face to tell.
The "Xuande Ding Yi Pu" written by Lu Zhen in Xuande of the Ming Dynasty records: The inner government collects firewood, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and names the kiln utensils. If the style is elegant, write a picture and submit it... The firewood, Ru, Guan, Ge,
Jun, determined and selected twenty-nine types, Chai Kiln ranked first
The inner palace is the inner palace. This can show that the porcelain handed down from Chai Kiln was still there during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
Then Xu Zhiheng, the author of "Yin Liu Zhai Talks about Porcelain" in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, once saw a real firewood kiln, which shows that firewood kilns still existed in the late Qing Dynasty. Maybe this is really a remnant firewood kiln, but the price will definitely be very high. "Brother Shen, do we meet again?"
Shen Yu looked up and saw that it was Shen Shanru walking beside him.
Shen Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "Hello, Brother Shen, I didn't expect you to come to the auction. I'm very happy for you!"
"Thank you for your kindness. Let's go and see the real wares from the firewood kiln." After saying that, Shen Shanru picked up Shen Yu and walked towards the viewing stand. He was tall and tall, and had the natural aura of a domineering CEO.
Many people even took the initiative to make way for him and arrived in front of the glass cabinet without any hindrance.
Shen Yu also followed suit, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.
I saw a wooden tray in the glass cover. On the bright yellow brocade, there was the remnant pen washer on the big screen. In addition, there was a piece of paper about seven centimeters long, three centimeters wide and one centimeter thick.
Unexpected fragments of azure porcelain.
The glaze of the fragments is generally the same as that of the remains of the brush-washed vessels. The light can shine on people. It seems that they should be some broken porcelain of the brush-washed vessels. I guess you can buy one and get one free.
Shen Yu watched it carefully for more than ten seconds. Generally speaking, this porcelain piece is quite consistent with the description of Chai Porcelain: blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, and as thin as paper. Whether this paper-thin refers to the carcass or the glaze color,
They are all very appropriate.
But the only problem is that you can't get your hands on it and feel it. You can't feel what the enamel feels like unless you get your hands on it.
Of course, having said that, the porcelain at auction is not available for purchase. If you want to get it, you have to buy it yourself.
At this time, an old man in a silk shirt spoke, and he was seen shaking his head and saying: "In the "Essential Theory of Gegu" written by Cao Zhao in the early Ming Dynasty, it was said: Chai kilns came out of the north, and it was passed down from generation to generation that those who burned Chai Shizong, Gu It is called Chai kiln. The glaze is sky blue, moist and fine, with fine lines and lots of loess, which is rare in modern times.
"Except for the base of this vessel being different from what Cao Zhao said, everything else is the same. Of course, not all firewood kilns are exposed, there are also full-glazed firewood kiln porcelains.
"So, the ancients did not deceive me. Now that I see this remnant, it is indeed the case. It is truly a rare treasure!"
This person is sitting in the first row of the VIP seats, and there are two strong men standing next to him. His status should not be low.
Sure enough, as soon as the old man finished speaking, someone in the crowd echoed: "What Mr. Wu said is absolutely true. Xie Zhaozhe, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said in his "Wuzazu": The most ancient pottery, wood kiln, is the most popular among modern people. The fragments are also of the same price as gold and jade. The color of the cover is bright green and the texture is thin and translucent. It can be used to decorate toys, but the finished vessel will never be seen again."
"Then what did the old man mean?" Shen Shanru scratched his head and asked Shen Yu.
Shen Yu smiled: "It's a passage in an ancient appraisal book. It means that the ancient firewood kiln was built in northern China. It was built by Chai Shizong, also known as Chai Rong.
"Chai kiln porcelain has an azure glaze, a warm feel, and fine lines on the surface. The soles of most porcelain are the color of coarse loess, and they are basically invisible in the early Ming Dynasty.
"What the person behind said is what a collector said in a book in the late Ming Dynasty, which means that by the end of the Ming Dynasty, wood kiln fragments had become as valuable as gold and jade, and there were basically no finished vessels."
Zhang Zongbao looked at the time and said: "Ouyang Xiu, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once said: Chai kiln is rare in the world, and those who get its fragments must wrap them in gold to show their preciousness.
"It is said that the fragments of the firewood kiln are worth thousands of gold. This is a bit exaggerated, but this fragment is definitely worth collecting.
"The clay of the Chai kiln is made of loess. It is as green as the sky, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and sounds like a chime. This vessel is so exquisite that it cannot be faked by future generations. The starting price of this three-legged brush-washing vessel from the Chai kiln is set at: Five million yuan.
"Now I announce that the bidding for lot number two has begun..."
However, there was no scene of competing bids on the main screen like the first calligraphy and painting. After a full minute, there was not a single bid.
Zhang Zongbao looked calm on the surface, but he was confused in his heart. He thought to himself: "What's going on? Why is no one bidding?"
This wood-fired three-legged brush washer was obtained from an old friend in exchange for an authentic painting of flowers and birds by Chen Chun of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Zongbao himself is a master of porcelain appraisal, and he even asked three experts in porcelain appraisal to help him identify them. Without exception, they were all authenticated from Chai Kiln.
Having said that, even if this three-legged brush washer is a fake, what if people who have been playing with porcelain all their lives can't see it, but these so-called collectors can see it?
You definitely can’t!
But if you can’t see it, why don’t you bid?
Is it expensive?
It’s not expensive at all. The remnants of official kiln can be sold for millions of yuan, not to mention the emperor of porcelain wood kiln. If this wood kiln remnant is less than 8 million yuan, he will lose money. After all, that painting
Chen Chun's flower and bird paintings are worth more than 8 million yuan, and if they are sold at least 10 million yuan, they will make a little profit.
Before the auction started, Zhang Zongbao was very confident about this three-legged brush wash and thought it would reach at least 12 million. Now it would be embarrassing if no one bids.
