The Yongle sweet white glaze dark flower plum vase, a unique treasure, has become a rare treasure because of the complete verses engraved on the inner wall.
The two experts, Lu Fei and Xu Maochen, were very excited and sighed at the same time. If Liu Jianhua had discovered this secret earlier, there is a high chance that they would never see this valuable treasure.
The two brothers worked together to carefully pack this valuable treasure and continue to admire other objects.
Although the porcelain section of the Ming Dynasty is full of good quality products, due to the emergence of sweet white glazed plum vases, the rest looks a bit lackluster.
The two brothers looked at it casually and did not take action again.
However, the two brothers saw something good among the few Yuan Dynasty porcelains.
Privy porcelain bow bowl.
Speaking of Yuan Dynasty porcelain, people will naturally think of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain. In fact, the egg white glazed porcelain created and fired in the Yuan Dynasty was also a high-end porcelain ordered by the imperial court and was very famous at that time.
Egg white glaze was developed on the basis of the green and white glaze of Jingdezhen in the Song Dynasty. Its color is white and slightly green, devitrified, and quite similar to the color of duck egg shells, so it is called "oval white glaze".
Egg white glaze was deeply loved by the Yuan Dynasty court, and the Jingdezhen kiln was often ordered to be fired for official use.
The most common products handed down from generation to generation are egg-white glazed porcelains ordered by the "Privy Council", the highest military institution in the Yuan Dynasty. The porcelain fired by the Privy Council is printed on the plates and bowls with the words "hub" and "fu" printed in the patterns, so the egg-white glaze is also known as
It is called "Privy" glaze.
The "Privy" porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was well-made and of high quality. Most of it was decorated with prints. The most common decorative themes were clouds, dragons and intertwining flowers. Because the "Privy" glaze was an opacified glaze, the decoration was not very clear.
Compared with the egg-white glazed porcelain used by civilians, "Privy" porcelain is particularly delicate, with neatly trimmed feet, unglazed soles, a nail-like protrusion in the center of the sole, and a moderately thick carcass. It is the official instrument of the Yuan Dynasty that is known to this day.
of exquisite products.
For a long time, because there are very few "Privy" porcelains handed down from generation to generation, "Privy" porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty is only known to the cultural and museum circles.
In 1982, a batch of Yuan Dynasty "Privy" porcelain remnants were unearthed in Shexian County, Anhui Province, including bent-waist bowls and plates, which provided very precious physical information for people to further understand the Yuan Dynasty "Privilege" porcelain. This major discovery caused a huge sensation among Chinese collectors and ceramic enthusiasts around the world.
From 1982 to the end of the last century, there was a "prime government" trend in China.
Collectors from all over the world flock to China in search of Privy Council porcelain items.
However, people regretfully discovered that the Privy Porcelain's existing stock is too rare.
Even if they are found, 99% of them will be leftovers.
Complete artifacts are even rarer than a century-old mallet.
In the field of collecting, sometimes it's a shame.
The rarer it is, the more desirable it is.
What should I do if I can’t get it?
Then throw money at it!
You have a complete device, right?
To sell or not?
If it sells, I will pay a high price.
Do you think it’s one million?
If you don’t achieve two million, you won’t achieve four million.
In this way, within a few years, Privy Porcelain was sold at astronomical figures.
In 2005, a Privy porcelain flat plate appeared at Phillips Auction House and sold for a high price equivalent to 11 million Chinese dollars.
Up to now, the value of that small plate has reached about 18 million.
The folded-waist bowl in front of me is eight centimeters high, nearly twenty centimeters in diameter, and seven centimeters in full diameter.
Open mouth, oblique abdomen, bent waist, circled feet.
This device uses printing technology to form a circular pattern on the inner abdominal wall, with the words "hub" and "fu" printed on the corresponding parts of the pattern.
Under the pattern is a conjoined petal pattern, and the folded waist forms an oblique circle with the inner bottom. The inner part is printed with cloud and dragon patterns, a small head with dragon patterns, antlers, no hair, a thin neck, a long and powerful body, and three claws.
The dragon's body is covered with flame patterns, and it soars with its head held high and its body bent.
In the auspicious clouds, the momentum is magnificent.
The shape of this cloud dragon pattern is basically the same as that of Yuan blue and white.
A string pattern is exposed on the abdomen of the outer wall of the organ, dividing the abdomen into upper and lower layers.
There are spiral patterns on the abdominal wall. .??.
The body is coated with egg white glaze, the glaze color is duck egg blue, the glaze layer is devitrified, and the glaze surface is shiny and moist.
The foot of the circle is thick and unglazed. The end of the foot is flat-cut and the outside is sharpened. The inner wall is slightly inclined outwards, and the bottom center has spiral patterns and milk nails.
The folded-waist bowl is a common type in the Yuan Dynasty. The "Privy" porcelain folded bowl is the most exquisite. This bowl can be said to be a typical vessel. The mouth of the bowl reaches the folded part, the carcass is moderately thick, and the lower part of the folded waist is slightly
Thick and solemn in shape.
The patterns on the abdominal wall are clearer than those on the bottom, and the pattern composition and layout are exquisite, with exquisite patterns and extraordinary grace.
The body quality is white and firm, and it is well made, fully reflecting the official quality of "Privy" porcelain and its artistic charm.
This bent-waist bowl is a relatively large artifact among the known Privy porcelains.
The whole body is flawless, the patterns are exquisite, and the glaze is moist. It is a well-deserved masterpiece.
In terms of commercial value, although this bent-waist bowl is not as valuable as the three previous Kangxi porcelains, it is even less valuable than the sweet white glazed plum vase.
But because this thing is so rare, its collection value is no less valuable than other treasures.
With this folded-waist bowl, it can fill the gap in Lu Fei's porcelain collection in the Privy Palace.
Without a doubt, pack in place.
In addition to this Privy Council porcelain, there are also several Yuan blue and white plates.
Although these are fine products, they are far inferior to the Yuan Qinghua in Lu Fei's hands.
Lu Fei was too lazy to get started and went directly to Song Ci District.
At the treasure fighting conference, Lu Fei saw two incredible pieces of Song porcelain in the photos, and he couldn't wait for them.
When Lu Fei came to Songci District, he could see at a glance Here comes the big thing.
Jun kiln rose purple halberd statue.
The shape of the statue imitates the style of ancient bronzes, with a trumpet-shaped mouth, a flat drum-shaped belly, and rounded feet.
The four sides of the neck, abdomen and feet are plastic-shaped with square edges, commonly known as "chuji".
From the Shang Dynasty to the early Northern Song Dynasty, they were all made of copper and used as royal artifacts for serving wine to heaven and earth.
Since Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, came up with the idea, both Ru kiln and official kiln fired porcelain statues in large quantities to replace the bronze statues.
However, the statues fired in Ru kilns and official kilns have many shapes and are extremely irregular.
By the time of Guanjun, the moon-white, sky-blue, and rose-purple halberd statues were all made to the same standards, with the same shape and craftsmanship, and a hole at the bottom of the statue.
This halberd statue is 23 centimeters high, 20 centimeters wide at the top, 12 centimeters in belly diameter, and nearly 15 centimeters in diameter at the base.
There are dense bubbles in the glaze, and there are brown eyes on the glaze surface.
The glaze layer melted and flowed down during the high-temperature firing at the edges of the vessel, causing the glaze layer to become thinner and reveal a yellowish-brown color to the fetal bones.
The outer eaves of the bell mouth of the Halberd Zun have faintly visible glaze flowing lines from top to bottom, and there are a few brown eyes on the right side. It feels warm and slightly sticky to the touch.
At the bottom of the halberd statue, there is an irregular green-yellow glaze color that cannot be seen in the kiln. There is a penetrating hole about half a centimeter in diameter at the bottom of the statue.
The entire body inside and outside is covered with rose glaze, and the inside of the foot is unglazed.
The shape is grand, the lines are smooth, both spirit and form are combined, and it has a strong visual impact.
Among the Jun kiln porcelain handed down from the Song Dynasty, various flowerpots and flowerpot holders are the most common, and the halberd statues are very rare.
I haven’t found the best rose purple at all.
The small Jun kiln bowl that Lu Fei put in Mr. Ge's coffin before, no matter the color, glaze, or condition of the kiln, it is from the same family as this halberd.
But compared to the size of the two, the difference is huge.
