Chapter 16 The Furious Official Kiln (1)
Open the door and look at it, it's almost impossible to tell. Tang Feng could see those masters who were on the palm, but the base price was only 100,000 yuan, and people in the underground black market would not be blind. The most depressing thing is that Tang Feng only has 200,000 yuan now and has no way to participate in the competition.
The celestial ball bottle has a long neck and a round belly, which is the most common porcelain shape we have today. "Powder" is a new variety created by the Kangxi Dynasty. It absorbs enamel color based on the Kangxi five-color color. It adds lead powder and glass white with arsenic elements to the color material and uses the boneless method of traditional Chinese painting to highlight the yin and yang and thickness of the picture patterns, and has a strong three-dimensional sense. The drawn patterns can exert the characteristics of rendering techniques and present a pink feeling, so it is also called "soft color".
This celestial ball bottle has a white glaze with smooth and oily glaze. The flower and bird patterns on it are painted in fine texture, clear layers, smooth and unrestrained, soft and elegant colors, natural and smooth transitions, old marks under the circle foot, and their characteristics are completely consistent with Qianlong pastels, and even more than that.
One of the masters held up the celestial ball bottle with a trembling hands. If it were really from the Qianlong period, it would be worth tens of millions. There is one in the Palace Museum. Among domestic collectors, as long as you have three authentic pastel porcelains from the Third Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, you will belong to everyone.
The master of palm eyes flipped over the celestial ball bottle, and everyone looked at the bottom of the round feet together.
"Hi!" Everyone shook their heads. The vase had no money. The official instruments of the Third Qing Dynasty had money. If they didn't have money, they were not from official kilns. The folk kilns could not burn such exquisite things. As a result, they could only be modern high-simulation, with the highest price of only about 100,000 yuan.
High simulation has a fatal point. The surface of newly fired porcelain must have a layer of dazzling light, which is called "firelight", but this celestial ball bottle has no flame. There is also a way to deal with fire. The first is to soak the porcelain directly in an acid solution made of potassium permanganate, nitric acid, and rosin in a certain proportion. After an hour, the color of this layer becomes dull. However, the sour-bitten porcelain will damage the glaze surface and make the porcelain bleak. This is over. The celestial ball bottle shows no signs of damage to the glaze surface. It is shiny but not dazzling, unlike acid bubbles. Another method is to use ultra-fine sandpaper to polish it. As we all know, the mirror reflects the light and the concave and convex surface reflects the light. After polishing it with fine sandpaper, it can also make the color dim. However, polishing will leave traces on the glaze surface, and there is no sign of it when you look closely.
One of the masters took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, looked carefully at the glaze surface, and went down without saying a word. The other masters did the same thing and went down. No matter how fine sandpaper was used, it would leave traces on the glaze surface. Some regular parallel lines could be found under the magnifying glass. After a while, Tang Feng was left alone on the top of the celestial ball bottle. He held the bottom of the celestial ball bottle upwards and mouth downwards and went down.
"Dear bosses, you can bid for the lowest price of 100,000 yuan." Middle-aged Glasses said when everyone went down.
After he said this, he waited for the people below to bid, but the audience was silent and no one agreed. It seemed that the filming was going to be failed.
"I'll add a thousand!" Tang Feng was speaking. Everyone looked at Tang Feng with a squinted look, without saying anything, making their own judgments and letting the fool be fooled.
Seeing the situation in the audience, middle-aged glasses stopped asking and said, "The deal is completed."
Tang Feng did not take the password box to the stage this time, but carried his backpack. When everyone saw the laptop on Yue Zheng's leg, they understood that the local bun also started to use online banking. Tang Feng unzipped the backpack and took out 100,000 yuan from it and put it on the countertop. Then, he carried the backpack, held the packaging box in one hand and took the celestial ball bottle in the other. Everyone was speechless about this guy. The rich man talked about business, the people wanted passbooks, and the rich man took cash. That's it. If he sold a Ferrari to your woman, he would have to drag a snakeskin bag?
After Tang Feng just went there, Su Qing asked softly: "Hey, it's true, you'll have to take action for 100,000 yuan."
"It's hard to say." Tang Feng frowned and said, "It should be high-simulation porcelain, it's pretty good."
Su Qing asked strangely: "Simulation? That's fake. Is this worth 100,000?"
Tang Feng said: "You are too a layman, and I can't explain it clearly for you all day and night." Identifying high-simulation is a compulsory course for playing porcelain. Of course, Tang Feng has also carefully studied it. Although high-simulation porcelain is a fake, its value is not low. High-quality high-simulation porcelain, from the formula of clay, manual clay, utensil molding to glaze configuration, painting methods and raw materials, firing methods, etc., is based entirely on the scientific testing data made with unearthed cultural relics as the standard. Each process is carefully operated and meticulous.
To capture the charm of the official kiln, counterfeiters do not use the current low-priced coal and gas firing, but directly use the ancient wood kilns to fire. Each kiln of porcelain has to be used for a whole day, and dozens of tons of good pine materials alone have to be burned. Because the cost of high-simulation porcelain is very high, the price has always remained high. If it costs 100,000 yuan, it will not be much lost. However, these are all collectors and are not interested in high-simulation. Besides, if you want to buy this thing, you can directly customize it with Jingdezhen, and the quality is much better than this.
Second and third items, Tang Feng was not interested. He kept chatting with Su Qing softly. When they finished the conversation, it was already the sixth item. Middle-aged glasses said: "The next item is the imitation Xuande furnace in the Republic of China." Tang Feng looked at it happily. Although it was an imitation, the quality of this Xuande furnace was also considered, but the material was a little worse. It was made of brass, which was not as good as the wind-milled copper that was tributed by ancient Thailand. To be honest, this imitation Xuande furnace is quite valuable for collection and has good quality, but compared with the real Xuande furnace, it is impossible to compare with it.
Su Qing asked softly: "Did you see clearly? Is there anything from Li Shizhi?"
Tang Feng shook his head and said, "There is nothing from the Tang Dynasty at all, let alone Li Shizhi's."
Su Qing asked again in a low voice: "What if they also got the wrong generation?"
"Isn't this still me?" There is no perfect thing in the antique, but Tang Feng is still very confident in his ability to intergeneration.
Su Qing looked at the packaging box that Tang Feng held tightly in his hand and said, "Show me your vase?"
"Let's see later." Tang Feng had to be careful. This thing was his first pot of gold in the true sense, the legendary one - torment the official kiln to death!
