Master descends to earth

Chapter 180 Ferrari in Porcelain

Lu Chenglong shook his head and sighed helplessly. This is the status quo and no one can change it.

Antiques are all based on your eyesight. Even if you spend [-] million, as long as you buy fakes, you think you are unlucky, and the court can't save you.

Especially in JDZ, the Millennium Porcelain City, there are many fragments of official kilns underground.In the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong have the most inscriptions. There are dedicated people digging porcelain pieces from the ruins of the imperial kiln factory, and then selling them at high prices.

In order to ensure that the porcelain entering the palace is all high-quality goods, the imperial kiln factory will smash and throw away any defective porcelain after it is released.So far, there are still a large number of residual porcelain buried under the kiln site.

The ruins were discovered under the JDZ Municipal Government Building a few years ago. After the archaeological excavation, the government relocated and the imperial kiln factory was protected.At that time, someone deliberately rented a store near the imperial kiln factory, opened the door to do business during the day, and concealed it from others. At night, he dug tunnels to steal the remaining utensils and porcelain pieces from the ground.

Many collectors like to look at the base price, and think it is the key point of identification. In fact, it is not a new invention to connect new porcelain with old base, and they can do it at a certain level.

The Forbidden City also purchased a variety of high technologies for its restoration. The precision is quite high, and a special instrument costs at least one million.

Old Qiao pointed to another picture and said, "If I make a pair of peony flower bowls like those in the Forbidden City, put them in the base model, match them with an old box, and let them put them up for auction, they can fetch at least 100 million yuan!"

"If you want me to say that a real official kiln high-quality imitation product, in addition to the shape, painting, and craftsmanship must comply with the palace regulations, it must also meet several other auxiliary conditions."

"One is that the fetal soil must be taken from the old pit of the dynasty; the second is that the pigment must come from the raw material origin of the year; the third is that it is fired in a firewood kiln."

"The configuration of the fetal soil and the production process are in place, and the weight of the finished product must be almost the same as that of the real product, and some are even accurate to grams."

"The size and curvature of the utensils are exactly the same as the real ones. As long as the same color material as the pit mouth is used, and then fired in a wood kiln, basically the surface color of the utensils will be accurate and the glaze layer will be rich. Several conditions are met, enough to make large Some appraisers were surprised."

After finishing speaking, he said disdainfully: "What kind of auction house's chief appraisal expert? My Ming Chenghua malachite green glazed fish and algae pattern plate was sold overseas for 880 million yuan. At that time, it was approved by a porcelain connoisseur from an internationally renowned auction house."

"There is also this nine-peach pastel bottle. I have photographed two of them, but I didn't make much money. Because it took three years to develop and cost more than 100 million..."

"This Jiajing five-color fish and algae jar once sold more than 80 yuan..."

Su Yuan looked at Lao Qiao triumphantly pointing Jiang Shan, and the albums of several major auction companies suddenly became trophies. If one person is like this, then the others...

Old Qiao already treated Su Yuan as a master of the same way, put away the album, and said seriously: "These are all in the past tense. In my opinion, the most difficult high imitation is two challenges!"

"One is He Chaozong's Avalokitesvara, and the other is Qianlong's Changing Heart Vase!"

Su Yuan frowned. He didn't expect Old Qiao to say such words. Lu Chenglong nodded after hearing this, and then said: "It is said that Qianlong visited JDZ Weifu privately in a certain year, and he had no intention of saying to an old porcelain worker: Unfortunately, there is no A bottle that moves."

"After hearing this, the old porcelain worker thought hard, and was suddenly inspired by the revolving lantern, and finally created a porcelain vase that could turn—the hollowed-out revolving heart vase."

"A few years ago, a Qianlong enamel heart-changing vase once created a sky-high price of [-] million, and it still stands out from the crowd, and no one can match it."

Lu Chenglong sighed: "Although the value of cultural relics cannot be measured in money, it can also show the rarity and preciousness of the revolving bottle. [-] million yuan is equivalent to four tons of pure gold!"

Old Qiao stood up, took out a work from the safe, and carefully placed it on the table.The bottle mouth is left out, the neck is short and thick, the shoulders of the bottle are drooping, and there are elephant ears on both sides of the bottle neck. The overall shape is calm, generous, graceful and luxurious.

The outer bottle is painted with enamel, and the patterns are mainly complex and delicate twig patterns, and the colors are bright and bright.There are four hollowed-out light windows on the abdomen, and the patterns are the flower scenery of the four seasons, which are very delicate with hollow-out carving techniques.

The inner bottle inside can be seen through the hollowed-out view window, on which is a baby playing picture drawn in pastel.A group of cute children are riding horses, holding umbrellas, beating drums or carrying lanterns, all in different poses and with different expressions.

When the inner bottle rotates, the children on the screen seem to have life and start to move.

Su Yuan's heart was shocked, he didn't expect to see the national treasure?Suddenly realized: "It's a pity that it's a broken weapon!"

Old Qiao heaved a long sigh, looked at the repaired traces of the Heart-Turning Vase, and said, "This Heart-Turning Vase was collected through untold hardships, and even if it is a broken one, it's a blessing."

"Wannian in regular script, Jiazi and 10 heavenly stem names in seal script are written in the twelve windows on the neck, and 12 earthly branch names in seal script are written on the shoulder. When the neck rotates, the neck and shoulder The combination of two groups of consecrations and changes can form a perpetual calendar."

Old Qiao said obsessively: "I think the heart-changing bottle is absolutely ingenious and ingenious!"

Su Yuan nodded, he couldn't blame the other party for saying such a thing, because the making process of the heart-changing bottle is very complicated.The inner bottle is an independent entity, and the outer bottle is divided into three parts: the neck, the abdomen and the base. The abdomen is hollowed out to facilitate the viewing of the pictures of the inner bottle.

After the four parts need to be fired and molded separately, the inner bottle is first inserted into the outer bottle and assembled with the base of the outer bottle. Then a special adhesive is used to bond the upper edge of the inner bottle to the neck of the outer bottle.

Inner bottle just can rotate freely with outer bottle like this.When the bottleneck of the outer bottle is turned, the picture on the inner bottle becomes vivid when viewed from the outside.

First of all, the design size of the inner and outer bottles must be reasonable, and the painting position of the inner bottle must be appropriate. At the same time, the shrinkage ratio of each part must be controlled well, and it is required not to be deformed after firing.

If the scale size is slightly different, it will lead to failure to assemble or turn.Many aspects of design and production are still difficult to achieve even today with highly developed technology. It is hard to imagine how the craftsmen can accurately grasp its size and proportion when it is completely hand-made.
Various scenes flashed in Su Yuan's eyes, and his piercing eyes activated to read the entire process.The bottom of the outer bottle should be made into a heart-shaped button, and the bottom of the inner bottle should be made into a heart-shaped groove. The button and the groove must be absolutely consistent.

In particular, the drying rate of the outer bottle and the inner bottle should be considered, as well as the shrinkage rate after firing.If you don't pay attention to it a little bit, the button and the groove will not fit together, and no matter how much hard work you have done before, it will be in vain.Therefore, the cost of making spinner bottles is very high, often one in a hundred.

Even if it is a top veteran who comes to fire the kiln, he dare not say that he will be successful.As long as there is a one percent error, all previous efforts will be wasted and failure will be complete.

According to records from the Qing Dynasty, revolving vases are very rare. Only in the 11th, 12th, 18th, 22th and [-]nd years of Qianlong's reign, the imperial kiln factory successively fired several rotating porcelain vases and bowls at a huge cost. , only for the emperor to enjoy.

Even the overjoyed Qianlong was reluctant to burn another one. It can be seen that it costs a lot and can be called extremely luxurious!
