Chapter 1334 The Most Antique Cup

With the official start of salvage, surprises continue to appear in the clean-up work.

In the recent preprocessing stage, both the rudder and the iron anchor were found in the northern part of the ancient ship.

The remaining rudder stock of the rudder is about 5.6 meters long and 42 centimeters in diameter, wrapped with 52 iron hoops about 7 centimeters wide for reinforcement;

The tiller is made of three pieces of wood tightly bound by iron hoops, and the longest point is about 3 meters.

The iron anchor is a four-claw anchor, 3.3 meters long (excluding the iron ring), which should be the largest ancient four-claw iron anchor found in China.

In addition, more than 600 pieces of porcelain were just cleared out, most of which were produced in the Dehua kiln.

Including the "Daoguang year system" green glaze cup, famille rose Erjia Chuanlu picture cup, bean green glaze bowl and so on.

Among them, there are 60 well-made blue and white round dragon pattern cups hidden in the 50 cm high bean green ground pile white blue and white Panasonic Gao Shitu amphorae.

There were quite a few porcelains that appeared this time, but Chen Wenzhe could easily tell that the origins of these porcelains were different.

In addition to those large vessels such as the porcelain from the Dehua kiln, there are also some other ceramics that may have been produced in the Yixing kiln and other kilns in the Hujian area.

Among these porcelains, the best and most precious should be a batch of porcelain hidden inside the large vessel.

For example, the blue and white cup with dragon pattern has a narrow bottom and wide mouth, and the whole body of the cup is bluish white.

The cup body is surrounded by auspicious clouds surrounding the dragon body, forming a pattern of blue and white clusters. The overall color scheme is elegant and atmospheric.

The overall color of its carrier, the white and blue-and-white Panasonic Gaoshitu amphora, has been somewhat discolored due to seawater erosion.

However, the pair of lion earrings and the body of the bottle are painted with a picture of Matsushita Gaoshi in blue and white, but it is still clear and the picture is vivid.

Chen Wenzhe knew that this style was popular in the late Qing Dynasty and was mostly used for dowry dowry, commonly known as "dowry bottle" among the people.

Among these porcelains, the most exquisite is the Daoguang JDZ kiln green glaze cup.

This is not the porcelain from Dehua kiln, it is actually produced in Jingzhen, but the quantity is a little smaller.

Judging from his hiding in a large fine bottle, this kind of porcelain is more precious.

These fifty tuanlong cups are about the size of an adult's fist. Although there are no other patterns on the cup body, the uniform coloring also shows the skill of the craftsman.

The alum red color script on the bottom of these cups, and the "Daoguang Year System" seal script inscription, is the proof of its identity.

The shape of this cup is dignified, and the glaze color is clean and gentle. Since ancient times, the dragon has symbolized power, nobility and honor.

Tuanlong also means reunion, and the auspicious meaning is strengthened in the later stage.

For such a cup, the whole cup is matched with auspicious cloud patterns on one side, making the dragon more gorgeous and vivid.

The round dragon pattern first originated in the Tang Dynasty. When painting and decorating, the shape of the dragon was treated as a circle, which is a commonly used pattern on porcelain.

This batch of blue and white round dragon cups is painted with round dragon patterns on the cup body, and the outer lines are painted with blue and white.

The painting strokes are delicate, the brushes are exquisite, the skills are profound, it is very characteristic of the times, and the glaze is excellent. This is definitely a fine blue and white porcelain produced in Jingzhen.

Of course, it is not surprising that Jingzhen produces good blue and white porcelain, but it is rather strange that there are also green-glazed porcelain produced in Jingzhen.

On a merchant ship that mainly carried Dehua kiln porcelain, more than 50 exquisite blue and white tuanlong cups appeared. It is very rare to find green glazed porcelain.

When it was discovered that there were even more exquisite porcelains hidden in a large vessel, Chen Wenzhe found out some large porcelains that had been salvaged earlier.

Sure enough, within these large containers, there are more or less small containers hidden.

The space saving on the one hand, on the other hand, must be because these smaller devices are better and more precious.

Pick up a green-glazed cup, its workmanship is no worse than the Tuanlong cup, and it is also a kind of green-glazed porcelain created by firing.

Jingzhen Kiln started firing green-glazed porcelain in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and introduced European technology in the early Qing Dynasty to create a Western-style green vessel.

This kind of heart-fired green glaze porcelain is different from traditional green glaze in enamel, and is glazed by blowing glaze.

This water-green glazed cup is slightly brown due to long-term corrosion by seawater.

Among the many porcelains, the Daoguang Jingzhen kiln famille rose "Er Jia Chuan Lu Tu" cup is the cup with the most ancient style.

Its name comes from the crab that walks on the cup with its claws holding reeds.

According to experts, crab pliers imply "two armors", and reeds are homophonic for "he".

The "Erjia No. 1" in the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty was No. 4 in the imperial examination, which was called "Chuan Lu".

Therefore, this cup also contains the wish of the ancients for the "gold list title".

Such cups, no matter where, are not very common.

But among Hai Lao Porcelain, even fewer are seen.

Because of this implication, it is too difficult for foreigners to understand.

This time the harvest is great, but the biggest harvest must still be inside the sunken ship.

Now some of the porcelain that is easy to salvage in the periphery, especially those places where the porcelain is piled up, have been emptied.

Next, if you want to continue to harvest large quantities, you must enter the sunken ship.

It is well known that wooden hulls are prone to decay due to seawater erosion.

From some of the wooden boat accessories salvaged at the beginning, it can be clearly seen that there are signs of decay.

Therefore, preserving the integrity of the ancient ship to the greatest extent has become the biggest problem in this salvage.

However, the overall salvage is not too difficult if there is a professional operation boat.

The domestic strength has expanded greatly in the past ten years, especially the shipbuilding industry, which is even more developed.

Like professional shipwreck salvage ships, there are also domestic ones.

For example, the main operation ship of the overall salvage and relocation project of ancient ships, "Dali", is a professional overall salvage ship of ancient ships.

Previously, this ship participated in the overall salvage of an ancient shipwreck at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The ancient ship salvage and relocation project used the world's first "curved beam non-contact overall migration technology for cultural relics".

This technology can realize the original, complete and safe salvage of ancient ships out of the water.

In the salvage simulation video, in the early stage, the overall assembly of the end plate-longeron frame has been completed.

That is, 22 curved beams are connected to form a semi-cylindrical box base with a length of 48 meters and a width of 19 meters.

After the engineering ship arrives at the offshore construction site, the overall lowering of the end plate-longitudinal frame will be carried out.

Then the excavation and threading of the curved beams were carried out one by one, and the threading work of all 22 curved beams was completed.

Finally, the ancient ship and the surrounding sand and seawater are completely wrapped to form the ancient ship caisson.

It's just that this kind of salvage work is very time-consuming.

Generally, the sea operation time of this kind of work is expected to take 2-3 months.

It is not too late to salvage the water, and then a special salvage engineering ship will simultaneously lift the ancient ship caisson with a total weight of more than 1 tons out of the water.

The water is not counted, and the caisson of the ancient ship needs to be "embraced" and sent to the opening in the middle of another transport engineering ship.
