Chapter 1110 Underglaze Red Jade Pot and Spring Vase
…
"Of course I am willing, but...!" Lin Guoliang's brain has not yet turned around from the situation in front of him. Please read ┡╣┠┞┞╠book╬╋w·w/w`.·1=k·a·

"As long as Mr. Lin is willing, let's discuss the terms of exchange in detail! I believe this dragon-patterned plate will satisfy Mr. Lin more than the blue and white gourd bottle I just had!"
Seeing the smile on Liu Dong's face, Lin Guoliang sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, this time I appreciate it!"
"Mr. Lin is too polite. I should be the one to say thank you! If Mr. Lin hadn't put integrity first just now, I'm afraid I would have returned empty-handed this time!"
"Haha, I think you two should stop complimenting each other! Hurry and sign the contract, the people waiting behind will be anxious!" Everyone named Chen laughed.
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled!
"please!"
"please!"
Because the value of the 'Yipin Gong Porcelain' Kangxi Five-Colored Dragon Pattern that Liu Dong had just bought was similar to the value of Fu Baoshi's 'Shaoshan Towering Green' in Lin Guoliang's hands. Therefore, at Liu Dong's insistence, after adding another 1 million, the two
The person finally signed the contract.
And perhaps because of the mutual sympathy, the three of them exchanged contact information with each other before finally separating. ╠See┢Book┡┣┢w`w·w/.-1>
Up to this moment, a triangular exchange has come to a successful conclusion!
Liu Dong spent 13 million to get his favorite Fu Baoshi's last Shaoshan hand scroll "Shaoshan Towering Green". Lin Guoliang also successfully exchanged his Shaoshan hand scroll for his favorite official kiln porcelain from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps only
The middle-aged man named Chen was a little dissatisfied.
However, Liu Dong's high price of 12 million did not allow him to go on stage in vain. And with this money, it is not difficult for a middle-aged man named Chen to buy his favorite ancient paintings based on his status in the industry!
Returning to his seat and looking at the scroll in his hand, Liu Dong felt very satisfied.
"That thing was done well just now!" Mr. Hong said abruptly next to him!
"You're always over the top!"
Liu Dong reacted and said quickly.
"It's rare for a young man like you to still know the rules and principles, but the antique circle is getting more and more impetuous now!"
Seeing the slightly emotional expression on the old man's face, Liu Dong did not interrupt!
Antiques, antiques, play with elegance. Play with art, play with a kind of sentiment! People in the circle are the kind of literati who truly pursue an aesthetic and cultural taste through antiques!
But with the popularity of the saying "gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times", especially now that society is stable. Read the book┠┠╠┢┣w,w-w/.,1`k/a^n=s-h=u·.,c
/c·There are more and more wealthy people, and more and more people from all walks of life are pouring into the antique circle. The antique circle, which was originally inclined to the elegant taste of classical literati, has also become somewhat philistine and has become impetuous.
Liu Dong is not too deeply impressed by this change. But Mr. Hong, who has worked hard in the antiques circle for most of his life, undoubtedly feels it more deeply!
But this change is also a social trend. It cannot be reversed by human power!
Therefore, Liu Dong’s goal for himself is to follow the trend while also maintaining a bit of his original intention when he first entered the circle!
While Liu Dong was thinking a lot and dealing with the constant questions from Chen Bao behind him, the communication on the court was also going on smoothly.
People in twos and threes exchange antiques in their hands with each other. If there is nothing they are satisfied with, they will sell it at a high price, or keep it in their hands to try their luck next time.
In this way, two or three hours passed without realizing it!
Liu Dong, who was among them, except for the first time when he encountered Fu Baoshi's Shaoshan hand scroll, he only bought one painting by a representative of the Chang'an School of Painting. "Beyond the Ancient Great Wall" by the famous contemporary painter Shi Lu. 》Chinese painting!
This painter who is almost the same generation as Fu Baoshi is also a master of modern calligraphy and painting in the "Dahongpao" (Collection of Paintings of Modern and Modern Chinese Masters)! Although his paintings are not as authentic as Fu Baoshi, they are still high-quality paintings and calligraphy worth millions!
After taking these two paintings and calligraphy, Liu Dong did not take action. One was that there were not many good things that caught his eye, and the other was that he did not want to be too pushy and annoying!
Seeing that this exchange meeting was about to come to an end, Xia Guofei, who had been silent before, stood up. ┝┞┟┠Want┡Reading w^w·w-.`1>
Liu Dong, who had been paying attention to him before, saw him taking the box from the Japanese Takao Uda and walking towards the square table in the middle. His heart moved and he thought to himself: "Here comes the drama!"
In fact, it wasn't just Liu Dong. People around him, including Mr. Hong, were very concerned about what Xia Guofei was holding.
Especially when they saw him taking out a glazed red jade vase about thirty centimeters tall with a thin neck and bulging belly from the tightly wrapped leather bag, all those who had studied porcelain appreciation narrowed their pupils almost at the same time. .
And the hall, which was originally a little noisy because it was coming to an end, fell silent almost instantly.
"Brother Dong, what's going on? Why is everyone so quiet all of a sudden!" Chen Bao asked in a low voice without knowing why.
"Watch it first. I'll explain it to you after it's over!"
"Oh!" Chen Bao nodded obediently.
However, when Chen Bao withdrew his head, Mr. Hong asked, "Boy Liu, aren't you an expert in porcelain appraisal? What do you think of this bottle?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he quickly replied: "Judging from the shape of the vessel, it should be an underglaze red jade spring vase from Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty!"
Since the Song Dynasty, ┝┠╬┢┠ should read w, w=w·.=1-k, a^n·s, h·u/./c·c Yu Hu Chun Ping has won the favor of the world with its graceful curves. , has lasted for thousands of years. Compared with the tall and beautiful jade pots of the Yuan Dynasty, the necks of the Hongwu jade pots are thicker and the abdomen and shanks are plumper and rounder, making them appear powerful and steady. After the Ming Dynasty, they became the elegance of imperial porcelain. Utensil shape.
The characteristics of the jade pot spring vase that Liu Dong saw at this moment were the same as those of the Hongwu jade pot spring vase.
"Furthermore, the theme decoration of this jade pot spring vase is the entangled peonies. The layout is sparse and orderly, which is in sharp contrast with the four decorations along the mouth and neck. The flowers are painted with traditional pen and ink. Its underglaze red The calm color of the whole body is extremely rare, and it creates a smudged effect with the creamy glaze, which is indeed the unique feature of Hongwu Underglaze Red."
At this point, Liu Dong did not explain whether this jade pot spring vase was an imperial kiln, an official kiln, or a civilian kiln! Because the authentic jade pot spring vase, whether from the Qing Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, only has imperial kilns, not ordinary official kilns. It is even more impossible to have a kiln or a folk kiln!
Because underglaze red is an underglaze copper red color, due to the unusual sensitivity and instability of copper molecules, underglaze copper red color is extremely difficult to fire. In ancient times when precision instruments were not available, it was difficult to obtain a pure underglaze red color. Porcelain, in addition to human factors, often prays for the gift of "timing". "If you want to be poor, burn copper red", the description of "a thousand kilns and a treasure" is the best portrayal.
Historically, it is difficult to find a few dynasties with a high probability of success in firing underglaze red porcelain. Even during the Kangxi and Qianlong events in the Qing Dynasty, the color of underglaze red products varied, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Therefore, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the color of underglaze red porcelain was uneven. There are far fewer underglaze red products than blue and white and other decorative varieties.
Therefore, there are very few successful works of underglaze red porcelain with bright colors. If there are, they must be among the best, and it is not an exaggeration to call them "treasure bottles"!
Its value and status are the same as those of the enamels specially supplied to the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and even three times more precious! It can be called a treasure in the imperial kiln!
Now it is a national treasure-level art treasure worth billions! Every piece of art is a competition for everyone. If it were not so, I am afraid that at the beginning, Mr. Hong would not have let a Japanese join in because of his temper. .
"However, Mr. Hong! Although a large number of underglaze red porcelains were fired during the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, after 640 years of inheritance, there are very few national treasure-level jade pots and spring vases with pure and bright colors! Compared with the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, There are only a few blue-and-white porcelains from the Yuan Dynasty and enamels from the Qing Dynasty! We know how much we cherish such a good thing, and I think the little devil also understands how extraordinary it is. In this way, the little devil is selfish, narrow-minded, and proud. How can such an arrogant island country bring such good things to China and sell them! You know, Japan is now the second largest economy in the world, and there are many more wealthy people in the country than China!"
Liu Dong's meaningful words suddenly made Mr. Hong understand.
Although he did not join the army when he was young, he also came from the Anti-Japanese War era. Naturally, his understanding of the Japanese is much deeper than Liu Dong!
"What do you mean, this Ming Hongwu underglaze red jade spring vase is a fake?" Mr. Hong's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"That was just my speculation. Whether it will be confirmed can only be confirmed after identification!" Liu Dong shook his head and said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and have a look!"
"You just sit still, I can go there by myself!" Seeing the old man stand up, Liu Dong hurriedly went to help him.
"No need to hold me up! I can just walk by myself!... After sitting for a long time, stand up and stretch your muscles! Let's walk!"
When the old man finished speaking, Liu Dong naturally obeyed.
Seeing Mr. Hong approaching, the crowd surrounding him hurriedly moved out of the way because the Hongwu glaze red jade pot and spring vase of the Ming Dynasty appeared.
"President!" Xia Guofei said respectfully quickly.
"Well, Lao Xia, do you mind if I take a look?"
"Of course I don't mind, you're always welcome!" Xia Guofei said quickly.
After Mr. Hong nodded, he also took out two white gloves from his jacket pocket and put them on. Then he took out a slightly old magnifying glass from his jacket pocket and picked up the jade pot spring bottle on the table. I watched slowly.
Of course, Mr. Hong specializes in miscellaneous items, and his research on porcelain is only general, and his level is not high. Therefore, with his eyesight, he can only tell that the Ming Hongwu jade pot and spring vase is of high level, but he cannot find it. flaw!
However, the old man naturally knew himself. After seeing it, he said: "Liu Dong, come and take a look too!"
When Mr. Hong finished speaking, the eyes of everyone around him suddenly focused on Liu Dong, who was standing behind the old man. They didn't know that in just a few hours, how did this young and unlearned young man win the favor of Mr. Hong?
