Looking at Liu Dong's open mouth with a look of surprise on his face, Mr. Li couldn't help showing a strong look of pride on his face, just like a child showing off the candy in his hand, and said to Liu Dong: "Xiao Dong
,How about it?"
"Old man, these...are these all?"
"Yes, these are all antiques, not a single one is fake!" Mr. Li affirmed confidently.
Hearing this, Liu Dong took a deep breath to suppress his original excitement, but he could not hide the surprise in his eyes.
It seems that Mr. Li's underground secret room should have an area of three to four hundred square meters. Looking at how every iron shelf is packed with items, Mr. Li's collection may not be less than a thousand pieces. Apart from the museum, this is the first time Liu Dong has seen a private room.
There are so many collectibles.
"Mr. Li, can I get started and take a look?" Liu Dong looked at the old man eagerly and said. Liu Dong also likes antique collection and appreciation very much. Although he is busy during this period, he has not given up on learning the knowledge of antique appreciation.
He was chewing on a book. Now that he saw so many collections at once, Liu Dong also wanted to appreciate them. By the way, he also wanted to see what his true appraisal level was without using powers.
Seeing Liu Dong's eager look, the old man smiled and nodded, "Let's see, let's see, but be careful!"
"Yes, I will!" Liu Dong nodded happily. Then he took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on himself.
Seeing his appearance, Mr. Li nodded beside him. Although it was just a small gesture, it also represented the basic qualities of an appraiser.
Mr. Li's secret room is rectangular. According to Liu Dong's estimation, its length should be forty meters and its width about eight meters. Except for an aisle of about one meter in the middle, there are rows of iron frames on both sides. And just now they pulled down
The iron ladder is located in the corner of the secret room, plus a large desk filled with books and magnifying glasses, occupying only five or six square meters of the entire underground secret room.
At this time, Liu Dong, who had received Mr. Li's permission, first looked towards the iron frame on his right.
The iron frame is very high. The upper part is directly connected to the roof of the secret room, and the lower part is welded to the steel floor. The entire iron frame is about 4 meters high and divided into eight layers. Each layer is 50 centimeters in height and more than 3 meters in length.
The width is also about fifty centimeters, and there is a protective fence over fifteen centimeters high on both sides of the partition on each floor. It can be seen that Mr. Li is very concerned about the protection of these antiques.
"There's another ladder on the side!"
After listening to the old man's reminder, Liu Dong nodded. However, he did not move the ladder, because at this moment, Liu Dong's mind was completely attracted by the exquisite porcelain in front of him.
"Mr. Li, are these porcelain?" Liu Dong asked with disbelief in his eyes.
"Yes. These are the chairman's porcelain!" Mr. Li said as he picked up a 'Water Dot Peach Blossom' tureen from the iron stand. Under the light that seemed like daylight, the entire tureen was crystal clear, like exquisite white jade.
The gorgeous and elegant peach blossoms seem to be floating on the water, vivid and vivid. It can also be seen how exquisite the firing process of these porcelains is.
"I think I was scolded by the chairman a lot because I was looking for these porcelains!" When he said this, Mr. Li's eyes couldn't help but reveal a deep look of reminiscence. After a long time, he sighed deeply and held the pot in his hand.
Putting the tureen back into the guardrail, he said, "Hey, things have changed and people have changed. After so many years, many old friends have left, so it's time to let go of our attachments!"
At this time, Liu Dong, who was standing aside, could clearly sense that something had changed in Mr. Li. Although he didn't know what it was, from the slightly relaxed look on the old man's face, it should be a good thing.
After this delay, Liu Dong also recovered from the shock of seeing dozens or hundreds of precious porcelains. However, there are so many of these porcelains that are rarely seen at auctions.
Liu Dong was still a little unbelievable.
"Xiaodong, since you know Chairman Porcelain, tell me about it, and also see how you have learned about porcelain appraisal during this period?" Mr. Li turned around and said.
"Yes, Mr. Li!"
After agreeing, Liu Dong recalled the knowledge about Mao porcelain that he had seen in his mind, organized his language and then said: "There are mainly two types of porcelain used by the chairman, namely Hu-Nan Liling porcelain used by the chairman and porcelain used by the chairman.
The porcelain used by the chairman of Jingdezhen Town is also called '7501' porcelain. Among them, the porcelain used by the chairman of Hunan Liling is mainly an underglaze double-sided multicolored flower thin bowl, which is crystal clear and as warm and pleasant as jade mud and tender skin.
, the four patterns of red rose, red hibiscus, red autumn chrysanthemum, and red wintersweet represent spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively. At that time, more than 20,000 finished products were fired, because the rose flower is also known as the red moon, symbolizing the mountains and rivers across the country.
Red. Nowadays, most of the porcelain used by Chairman Liling is collected in Shaoshanmao Comrade Zedong Memorial Hall, Chinese Revolution Museum, Zhongnan Haifeng Zeyuan, etc., and less than 200 are among the people.
This piece is highly prized by collectors and is worth thousands of gold."
Of course, when it comes to the porcelain used by Chairman Liling, we have to mention the name "Red Official Kiln" that is resounding in the modern ceramics world!
Red official kiln refers to various porcelain for daily use and decorative porcelain produced by some special porcelain factories in various specific historical periods after the founding of China. These porcelains all bear the imprint of that era.
, have become historical relics that bear witness to this era. These "red official kiln" porcelain mainly include "porcelain for leaders" produced during the Cultural Revolution, "porcelain for central agencies", as well as gift porcelain given to foreign heads of state, etc. With the scenery
-Dezhen Jianguo Porcelain Factory, Jing-Dezhen Art Porcelain Factory, People's Porcelain Factory, Hongqi Porcelain Factory, Sculpture Porcelain Factory, Hu-Nanli-Lingqunli Porcelain Factory, Ministry of Light Industry Ceramics Research Institute and other units, have successively served as China-
Central state agencies have produced certain porcelain for daily use, display porcelain and gift porcelain. These units can also be called contemporary "red official kilns".
From the founding of the People's Republic of China to 1978, the development and growth of the "Red Official Kilns" went through the "Resist U.S. Aid Korea", "Three Antis-Five Antis", "Three Red Flags", "Three Years of Natural Disasters", and the "Cultural-Cultural Revolution"
" and the different historical periods of reform and opening up. In various specific historical periods, the products of "Red Official Kiln" are all marked by history.
In the production process of these decades, the pinnacle of Liling Porcelain's porcelain making achievement was the tea cup made in 1956 for the use of central leaders, also called the "Victory Cup". 120 pieces were produced, divided into six styles, glaze
There are two types of flowers and white background, which I treasure very much.
Another pinnacle achievement of Liling Porcelain is the batch of special porcelain produced in 1974 to celebrate the 82nd birthday of the Chairman, which is also the porcelain for Chairman Liling.
Another pinnacle of Chairman porcelain, the artistic achievement of '7051' porcelain even surpassed that of Liling Mao porcelain. Not only was it not inferior to the major official kilns of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it even surpassed it. Because 7051 porcelain gathered the most outstanding porcelain makers in the country at that time.
Everyone, everyone involved in the project has undergone strict political review. Sentries are set up around the kiln, and no one without approval from the project headquarters is allowed to enter. From material selection to molding, from glaze matching to painting, to sintering, packaging and other most processes
It is all done by hand, with public security personnel monitoring it to ensure product safety. Before production, two tons of selected materials must be hand-selected from ten tons of high-quality raw materials. At that time, there were not enough manpower, and the project director
The ministry transferred hundreds of "young Red Guard generals" to join in the material selection work. After a year of hard work and no expense spared, these unprecedented batches of exquisite porcelain were finally fired.
After Liu Dong told what he knew about the Chairman's use of porcelain, Mr. Li nodded.
"I have collected a set of five pieces of underglaze colored lidded bowls for Chairman's porcelain from Liling here, as well as six styles of 'Victory Cup' in two designs and colors. Only this set of Chairman's porcelain from Jingdezhen is still not complete."
Speaking of this, Mr. Li couldn't help but show a deep look of regret on his face.
Chairman Jingdezhen used porcelain. At that time, 22 kilns were fired, 14,103 pieces were put into the kiln, and more than 4,200 pieces were finished. Each set has 138 pieces, crystal clear and as white as jade. Each set includes: 48 pieces of 9-15 cm tureens; 15-30 cm lids.
There are 40 pieces of plates (also known as combining utensils); 10 pieces of No. 1 and No. 2 teacups; 10 spoons; others include rice pots, tasting pots, tooth boxes, ashtrays, etc. A total of two sets of this batch of porcelain were selected and delivered
In Zhongnanhai, the rest were either sealed or destroyed. Later, some of them were scattered among the people. After decades, I don’t know if anyone can now put them together.
"Mr. Li, how much 7051 porcelain do you have here? I see that the two partitions are covered with 'water-dotted peach blossom' style chairman porcelain." Liu Dong looked up and down and asked.
"There are 156 pieces, but none of them are complete sets. We are still short of 12 pieces of covered bowls, 9 pieces of covered plates, and 1 serving pot. If we can collect these 22 pieces of chairman's porcelain, I can make a set of 7051 pieces of porcelain!" He said here
, Mr. Li's face showed a strong look of expectation.
Hearing this, Liu Dong was shocked and secretly envious. He had never owned any of this kind of precious porcelain that was no worse than the official kilns of all dynasties.
Later, under Mr. Li's explanation, the two climbed up the ladder and looked at all the porcelain on the display rack from top to bottom. Except for the two chairman porcelains, the '7801' porcelain with inferior craftsmanship, the Cultural Revolution porcelain
The political art porcelain of the period includes the "Red Lantern" series of vases, the "Rent Collection Courtyard" series of vases, etc.
As long as the rare porcelain produced during the New China period can be found here, many of them are in a set. There are more than 200 pieces of porcelain on the entire display rack. Presumably, it is someone like Mr. Li who once held a high position in the central government.
Only those with a deep background can collect so many high-quality red official kiln porcelains.
After Liu Dong admired them one by one, he reluctantly continued to move to the next display shelf at the urging of Mr. Li. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
