Chapter Thirteen Major Mistakes
It is impossible to launch a highly professional article like "The Legend of the Containers of the Prosperity" by relying solely on the resources of the TV station. Therefore, as the organizer, Northern Satellite TV must seek official partners; and when quasi-scientific research institutions like the Institute of Cultural Relics need to establish their own official certification image through cooperation with the media, so the cooperation between the two parties will be natural. Since we want to establish an official certification image, the Institute of Cultural Relics cannot play the role of "athletes" like Tang Feng, and they participate in the "Prosperity Collection" column as the authoritative image of "arbitrators".
It sounds complicated, but the actual operation seems very intuitive. When the guests in the show unanimously recognize that a piece of porcelain is a fake, the fashionable and beautiful host Fan Ziyun, who looks very weak, will play the role of a destructor with a huge contrast with her image, pretending to be suspense and then smash it. Here a question arises. The guest's identification conclusion is not officially recognized and has a legal effect. What if they make mistakes in identification and are wrongly destroyed and fallen? At this time, the Cultural Relics Research Institute, as the "arbitrator", will appraise the porcelain fragments through scientific instruments and give the final and most authoritative identification conclusion.
Of course, the above are only shown to the audiences in the audience and in front of the TV. The authenticity of a piece of porcelain has been identified before the show begins. It is absolutely impossible for Fan Ziyun to break the authentic porcelain.
The live broadcast of the program was proceeding in an orderly manner. Soon, Fan Ziyun introduced the No. 1 collector. The No. 1 collector was in his thirties, tall, strong national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, fluent Mandarin with a distinct northern accent. The collection he sent to the appraisal was a 30-meter-high Minghong Yunlong pattern blue and white underglaze red lid jar.
Blue and white ~ Linhong is commonly known as "blue and white plus purple". It is a porcelain decorative technique used between blue and white patterns of blue and white porcelain. Porcelain made of copper oxide as colorant shows a delicate and calm red color; while blue and white porcelain made of blue and white porcelain made of blue and white porcelain shows a calm and atmospheric blue; these two colors plus the white ground of the porcelain itself, and the three colors complement each other to form a sharp contrast of color difference, which greatly enhances the ornamental interest of porcelain and is one of the most valuable porcelains.
The above are all the artistic value positioning of blue and white porcelain. For ordinary people, the most intuitive way to reflect the value is its transaction price. Blue and white porcelain has frequently created new highs in auctions in recent years. At the 2004 Hong Kong Sotheby's Autumn Art Auction, the transaction price of the Qing Yongzheng blue and white underglaze Red Sea Water Cloud Dragon Pattern Tian Ball bottle was as high as RMB 16 million. In May 20C9, at the "Asian Art, Jewelry and Famous Watch Auction" held by Christie's in Hong Kong, the transaction price of a ~Lihong porcelain set a world record for the Ming Dynasty porcelain auction. The final transaction price of this 32-meter-high Ming Dynasty Hongwu ~Lihong lingering peony pattern jade pot spring bottle was HK$78.52 million.
Before starting the appraisal, as usual, Fan Ziyun will briefly interview the collector No. 1 and said: "If the appraisal is a fake, you can't take it back, are you mentally prepared?"
No. 1 collector Hao smiled and said, "I don't say that the authenticity is fake. I don't plan to take it back and get it to the fake."
Fan Ziyun finished the interview and said to the public: "Is the life and death case signed? Is it true or false? Let our guests decide and the appraisal begin!"
In the sound, the blue and white ~ inner red lid jar was sent to the guest seat by its owner. The first person to be identified was Sun Qi, the chief appraiser from an antique auction house in Shanghai. After the appraisal, he carefully moved the lid jar to Zhou Zhengyuan without any ritual. During the appraisal, Sun Qi wrote his appraisal conclusion on the question board in front of him. After a while, the blue and white underglaze red lid jar finally came to Tang Feng's hand. He only slapped his eyes two days ago. He did not dare to be careless and stood up and observed carefully.
This blue and white lid can has a heavy shape but does not appear clumsy. It has a large body but a coordinated proportion. It is both majestic and elegant. Its texture is very thick. The glaze is smooth and oily. A little soil can be seen at the junction of the body and glaze. The color of the egg green. The blue and white hair is blue and white, orchid. The red hair is dark red. The foot is obviously flowing. Compared with the can body, the bottom of the lid can be slightly rough. The bottom is round and slightly inclined but not obvious. The navel in the middle is slightly convex. There are a few traces of jumping knife. The exposed tire at the bottom is natural and flint red. Finally, Tang Feng looked carefully at the exposed tire above the bottom. The white and gray ground body is slightly vermilion.
After the wind completed the identification, the blue and white ~ red lid jar was placed in front of his ground. It was prepared to hand it over to the mysterious guest for identification later.
Tang Feng wrote the appraisal conclusion. Fan Ziyun faced the audience and said in a joke: "Our mysterious guest today is also a master of porcelain appraisal. He knows two of our three guests on the stage. We cannot give them a chance to collude. Ask the three guests on the stage to express their own appraisal conclusion first. Then, let's ask the mysterious guest today to see if their final appraisal result is the same as the heroes. Or they are different from each other? Now let's listen to Mr. Sun Qi's appraisal conclusion first."
The biggest feature of the program "Prosperous Times Collection" is the expert PK. They are always trying their best to create this PK atmosphere. First let the audience understand Tang Feng and their conclusions, and then let the mysterious guests uninformedly evaluate it. If the opinions are different, their goals will be achieved.
The music started again. Sun Qi picked up the floor question board in his hand. The question card reads: Authentic.
Sun Qi explained slowly: "During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the firing process of blue and white and red earth was relatively mature. However, there were still certain defects. During this period, the color area of the blue and white underglaze red porcelain was relatively wide. From gray to dark red. Sometimes, local red spots similar to the blue and white blue spots in the Yuan Dynasty were often seen because the red material was not grinding finely. At the same time, it also had unique characteristics such as dew and flow. This blue and white underglaze red jar was in line with the characteristics of blue and white and red porcelain in the Hongwu period. It is an almost perfect and impeccable authentic product!"
After Sun Qi finished speaking, Fan Ziyun asked Zhou Zhengyuan to show his identification conclusion. Zhou Zhengyuan flipped the question board and his identification results were a bit unexpected, with 95% genuine products. He said: "In addition to the characteristics mentioned by the previous guest, the painters of this lid can be painted in one stroke, and there is no trace of the pen. It uses smoothly and unrestrainedly. Where the brush overlaps, jelly-like stains can be vaguely seen sinking, which is indeed in line with the characteristics of blue and white and red in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. However, this lid can also have its shortcomings. Its bubbles are small and neatly arranged, and do not have the typical characteristics of firewood kiln firing. Of course, bubbles are just a means of identification and are far from being used as a basis for determining the authenticity of porcelain. Therefore, I made the above judgment."
After Zhou Zhengyuan finished speaking, Fan Ziyun turned to Tang Feng and asked, "Mr. Tang, where are you?"
