Chapter 243 Longquan Kiln(1/2)
243:Longquan kiln
"Master, what grudge do you have against that old man who fell to the ground?"
Jiahao waited for Mr. Deng to stop laughing and asked.
"What kind of hatred? The hatred is huge!"
Deng Lao couldn't help but snorted coldly when he thought about the past: "That old man's name is Chen Fei. He studied porcelain in Jingdezhen at the same time as me and Lao Jia. It's just that he came two years earlier than us. No matter what we do,
He just can't stand us, and he learned it two years earlier than us and naturally knows more. He often makes sarcastic remarks when we are making pottery models, and sometimes even reports to the master master. For this reason, I
I was beaten frequently. Once again, he lost his money and framed me, saying that I took it. Who doesn’t know what your master is like? At that time, I was stubborn and couldn’t bear the grievance, so I had a fight with him.
The guy has never been a fighter since he was a child, and I beat him to the ground after a few blows. Our feud was forged from then on. Later, when the money was found, he still refused to apologize to me and still went around saying that I had stolen the money.
, we had many fights over this matter in the future. Originally, this matter was gradually forgotten over time, but I didn’t expect that this old boy would hold a grudge and often set me up in the appraisal field, so we fought often.
After a lot of fighting, we both fell in love with your wife at the same time. The old boy was not as charming as me, so he said that I had tricked you into getting your wife. Your master, most of the grievances and slanders I have suffered in my life were from that old man.
, we have hated each other since then, and our hatred continues to this day.”
Although Mr. Deng said it in an understatement, Jiahao could tell from his tone how fierce the struggle between him and Chen Fei was back then. They were completely enemies, enemies with you but without me.
"This old boy brought up the matter of porcelain appraisal this time. He just bullied me and you taught me for a short time to deliberately embarrass me. The young man you mentioned is his apprentice Li Qianzhou. Although he is almost the same as you,
I have studied porcelain appraisal for more than 20 years. I have been to Jingdezhen no less than five times, but this must be my first time going to a museum, otherwise I would not have met you. He is your biggest opponent this time, no matter you
No matter how bad your grades are, as long as you step on that kid, it will make the master look bad."
After saying that, Mr. Deng patted Jiahao on the shoulder. The meaning was self-evident. It was an instruction and an expectation.
Jiahao nodded and said affirmatively: "I will definitely step on him."
"Don't be so cheerful. That kid is not simple. You know it's not a shame to get good grades and become a teacher. After all, you only have a short time to study."
Jiahao's answer made Mr. Deng very satisfied, but in order not to put pressure on his apprentice, he said the above words to make Jiahao feel relieved.
Jiahao smiled slightly, how could he not understand the meaning of his master Deng Lao? He must try his best, and he also has his own powers. Maybe the viscosity of the porcelain stone is the breakthrough for identification, just like
Carbon 14 is the same.
It's just that one is for the senses and the other is for the instrument measurement standard.
Maybe I can try my own abilities tomorrow.
"Master, do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Jiahao asked with a thought in his heart.
"I'm going to meet some old guys. I haven't seen them for many years. Why do you have something wrong?"
Mr. Deng asked doubtfully.
"I want to go to the antique street in Jingdezhen to practice at the stall."
"Haha, that's right. I thought you were staying in the hotel or going out to have fun these days. It makes me very happy. If you don't sharpen your skills before the battle, it will be a waste."
Mr. Deng's previous words made Jiahao very excited, but the last sentence made him dumbfounded. His master didn't believe him too much.
After returning to the room, I carefully examined the differences in the viscosity of porcelain stones from different dynasties, and then went to bed early.
The next day, Jiahao and Zhang Huiming went to the Antique Street in Jingdezhen together.
While having breakfast, Jiahao asked Zhang Huiming about the situation of Jingdezhen Antique Street. When he heard that Jiahao was going to practice stalls in the antique street, Zhang Huiming also became interested. He did not finish shopping in the antique street yesterday, and he happened to go there again today.
On the way to the antique street, Zhang Huiming always found topics to chat with Jiahao. It was obvious that he was very interested in Jiahao, but Jiahao was not interested. However, this can train people.
I remained unmoved.
Jingdezhen is not that big, and soon they arrived at the antique street.
Jingdezhen Antique Street is located on the first floor of two connected buildings in Porcelain Square. It is shaped like a capital letter "h". Of course, this is just a storefront antique street with operating rights. The place where Jiahao and Zhang Huiming want to go is in the form of street stalls.
Yeah, it's really hard to find if you don't have acquaintances.
Arriving at Jingdezhen Central Square, Zhang Huiming pointed to the west-north of Zhongxi Plaza and said: "That's the High Imitation Street, which mainly deals in blue and white and pastel. There are no genuine goods there, they are all fake goods for people in need. If you
If you go around by yourself, you won’t be going anywhere, it’s boring.”
Jiahao nodded. He naturally knew what "people in need" meant, such as those who wanted to be arty but unwilling to spend money to buy real things.
"Let's go, this place is not suitable for us."
Zhang Huiming led Jiahao in one direction. After several twists and turns, he soon arrived at a slightly shabby street. Looking at the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street, most people would definitely not come here, but this is a gathering place for antiques and porcelain.
.
In front of Jiahao, stalls with several tables were placed or set up on both sides of the street. People were coming and going on the street, either stopping or walking, standing or squatting, but they all had one thing in common, everyone's
Their eyes were all looking at the porcelain on the stall.
The stalls in Jingdezhen Antique Street mainly sell porcelain.????Is this an antique street?
Jiahao sighed in his heart. He was really not used to buying things in antique shops. It was too formal. Such a place was suitable for simple and simple stalls. There were all kinds of people and all kinds of items. If you have a good eye, you can always spot a few authentic ones.
Although the place is dilapidated, it has a sense of historical vicissitudes.
"Most people can't find this place unless they have a way. Should we go together or separate?"
It could be seen that Zhang Huiming wanted to go with him. Jiahao hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "It's better to separate, so as not to feel uncomfortable later."
"Yeah, that's fine."
The disappointment on Zhang Huiming's face flashed away, and he also understood Jiahao's concerns. If two people fell in love with a piece of fine porcelain at the same time, there would probably be a fight between you and me, which would hurt the harmony.
, if we are not together, let each of us rely on his or her own abilities, and see who has quick hands and who has good eyesight.
"Well, let's meet here at 11:30 noon and see who has the biggest harvest."
Jiahao proposed a compromise method, which could eliminate Zhang Huiming's disappointment.
Sure enough, Zhang Huiming's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he said: "Okay, everyone depends on their ability, so I can also see what kind of strength Mr. He's disciples are."
"Haha, at the same time, I also see how powerful Brother Sun is."
Both of them showed great confidence, looked at each other, smiled, and walked in two different directions.
Jiahao had another consideration when he proposed to separate. This time he came out mainly to test whether his own power could really determine the authenticity of porcelain through the viscosity of the porcelain stone. There was a person following him, and he was right.
It is not convenient for the people you are interested in.
There was no need to worry about the authenticity of the porcelain when checking whether the superpower was in it. He casually walked to a relatively hidden stall under a tree and picked up a large piece of porcelain.
It was a porcelain vase, with a very thick and long neck, and a slightly smaller bottom. It was a bit like a modern scraped vase, but not as beautiful as a modern vase. When I first bought it, when I saw the glaze color of the porcelain vase, Jiahao couldn't help being shocked both physically and mentally.
Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln porcelain!!!
Although the Longquan kiln is not as good as the five famous kilns, the porcelain it produces has always been loved by collectors, and the price remains high, with prices exceeding several million. It is difficult to encounter the Song Dynasty even at major auctions.
Longquan kiln.
The Longquan Kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty is most famous for its two types of porcelain: plum green and pink green porcelain.
And the one in front of me looks like Mei Ziqing.
But Jiahao quickly calmed down. Why wasn't a plum green porcelain discovered? Especially in a place like Porcelain Capital, where there are many masters.
Is there something fishy?
At this time, Jiahao noticed that the eyes of the owner of the altar were those of a profit-seeking businessman. There was a greedy look in his eyes, as if he really wanted Jiahao to buy the porcelain in front of him.
No!????This may be fake!
But then Jiahao became confused. It looked like plum green porcelain, so how could it be fake?
This is just his rough judgment, and further judgment is needed to judge whether it is true or false.
At this time, Jiahao had forgotten the purpose of his visit and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of picking up leaks. He first looked at the shape of the porcelain bottle. The lines in the shape were dull, which gave people the impression that it lacked charm and was dull on the neck and shoulders.
The turning is very abrupt, the ends of the feet are too neat, the proportions of the vessel are out of proportion, and the specifications and dimensions of the vessel's shape are not standardized enough. It does look like a later imitation.
However, the subsequent glaze color made Jiahao even more confused.
For the imitation firing of plum green, the glaze generally does not use chemical formulas, but follows the traditional formula, that is, selectively adding plant ash to the porcelain clay. Although the texture of the glaze is very similar, it lacks the restrained thickness and often has a floating light.
This is what Mr. Deng told Jiahao, and Jiahao also said so in the information he checked, but the glaze color of the porcelain bottle in front of him is full of thickness and has no shine. The glaze is shiny and moist, and the color is like green plums after the rain. It is very
It is lively and pleasant. Combined with the white texture, it is easy to think of green plum meat and makes people want to take a bite.
The shape of the vessel is very poor, but the glaze color is very good. In this case, the glaze color should be the main color. After all, no one can understand the thinking of the ancients. Maybe it was made at will.
Judging from the current situation, this porcelain seems to be 60% authentic.
Longquan kiln can also be judged from other aspects, one is the decoration, and the other is the decoration and firing method.
This porcelain vase has no decoration at all, so Jiahao naturally judged it from the decoration and firing method.
The firing technology is different in each development period of Longquan kiln. As for the tools for pad firing, there are only two types of pads and pads, but the parts on the ring feet are different in different eras.
There are different firing marks in different eras. Especially the "iron feet" and "cinnabar feet" of Longquan kiln products from the Southern Song Dynasty are often irregular.
There are traces of gaskets in the Yuan Dynasty, and the exposed parts of the ring feet of Ming Dynasty artifacts show "flint red". Early products of Longquan kiln are very rare and very complete. There are some defects, mainly in the ring feet. Therefore, people who imitate often use
"A little bit of broken rice on the bottom or edge" or sticking kiln residue on it to deceive people.
According to this judgment method, Jiahao turned the porcelain bottle upside down and looked at the ring feet at the bottom. It looked irregular and was not only iron-red, but the feeling of the ring feet did not match the shape of the vessel. The original shape of the vessel
