The same is true for the jade texture of the glaze. The southerners call it plump, while the northerners call it moist, and the expressions are different.

In the identification of porcelain, there are many comprehensive factors that need to be considered, and the skills involved are also diverse.

When you see a piece of porcelain, especially a good and high-value treasure, you must boldly ask for evidence and observe carefully.

Let’s talk about Ming Chenghua porcelain again. If there is no problem with the bottom foot and body glaze, then the decoration must be identified.

Chenghua's porcelain has slender and soft decorative lines, and the double-line outline and color filling method is often used, and the color filling is lighter.

The elegant state of blue and white is like singing and dancing, and the painting is elegant and unrestrained.

The decoration of Chenghua bucket color utensils pays attention to the combination of shades and shades, mainly flat paint, regardless of yin and yang, and the picture lacks a sense of hierarchy.

The flowers and clothes of the characters are painted with flat paint.

There is no distinction between yin and yang in leaves and flowers.

For the clothes of the characters, only the monochromatic coat is painted, without underwear.

Therefore, there is a saying that "one piece of clothing in a kiln", and the rocks have no sense of unevenness.

If there are no problems with these, then we have come to the most important point, identifying color materials.

In particular, Chenghua Doucai Porcelain uses a lot of color materials, and any kind of imitation is not good, that is a great flaw.

The color material of Chenghua porcelain in Ming Dynasty must belong to the unique characteristic of "colorful purple"!

Chenghua color has an elegant color effect, which is unique in ancient and modern times.

The color features are obvious, bright red, as bright as blood, and uneven in thickness;

Goose yellow, delicate, transparent and slightly greenish;

Apricot yellow, flashing reddish;

Water green, leaf green, mountain green, all transparent and slightly yellowish;

Beeswax yellow, slightly transparent;

ochre-purple dark;

Ginger yellow strong light is weak;

Colorful purple, thick and dull.

Among the colors, "Beautiful Purple" is unique, its color is like red iron, and its surface is dry and dull. It is difficult for future generations to imitate. It can be regarded as the symbol of the Chenghua generation.

Especially on the Ming Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup, the color of the butterfly is "colorful purple".

Chen Wenzhe has made a lot of these, and he can tell at a glance whether they are genuine or not, and what is the difference between them and the authentic Sanqiu cups.

It is also because of this that he attaches so much importance to the cup in his hand.

The reason is that he can't see any difference. If he only looks at the grease and glaze color on the outside, he must think it's real at first glance!

It's a pity that for such treasures as the Ming Chenghua Sanqiu Cup, we must not only look at a part, but also look at the whole.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at the bottom of a small bowl and studying it for a long time.

The bottom foot, decoration, glaze color, tire quality, shape, etc. have all been checked, and no problems have been found.

Then, the next step is to continue the identification, which depends on the craftsmanship, especially the sand bottom of the utensils in the Mingchenghua period, because it is often brownish-yellow here.

The tires of Chenghua porcelain are neatly repaired, and cutlery utensils, because they were formed by drawing blanks in sections at that time, tire marks can be seen on the abdomen.

Due to the very good craftsmanship during the Chenghua period, the tire marks on bottles, cans, pots and other cutting tools are not obvious;

Plates often have bottoms collapsed, while bowls and plates have straighter and higher bottom feet.

Official kiln blue and white porcelain, divided into bottom glaze and sand bottom.

Most of them are glazed, the glaze color of the bottom of the utensils is the same as that of the body of the utensils, and the sand bottom is brownish yellow, commonly known as "rice lake bottom".

Touching it with the hands, it is warm and smooth without rough feeling, which is the unique style of Chenghua official kiln wares.

The foot wall at the bottom of the utensil is narrow, and the ridge of the foot is relatively round; yellow spills can be seen where the footprints are exposed;

The inner glaze and bottom glaze of utensils are smooth and delicate;

Most of the outer wall of the foot is surrounded by two or three string lines, one on the top, two near the edge of the bottom of the foot, the circle near the heel of the foot is deeper, and the top one is the same.

The bottom of the yellow-glazed bowl is straight and high, the wall of the foot is narrow, the ridge of the foot is round, and the yellow overflow can be seen where the footprint is exposed.

These characteristics are common in Chenghua wares, not to mention bucket color and multicolored porcelain, but Chenghua blue and white porcelain also has these characteristics.

A blue and white gourd vase with tangled branches and lotus patterns that has been handed down to the present is the standard rice lake bottom.

At this point, almost all the characteristics related to the bottom foot have been involved.

There are almost 25 of these characteristics, and the last one is style.

The inscription on Chenghua porcelain in the Ming Dynasty is still very meaningful, because its characteristics are easy to identify, that is, the iconic Chenghua fertilizer.

The inscriptions of official kiln porcelain in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty include the six-character inscription "Daming Chenghua Annual System" and the two inscriptions of "Tian".

It should be noted here that throughout the Chenghua Dynasty, there was no "Chenghua annual system" inscription, and only regular script inscriptions, not seal script inscriptions.

The annual mark of Chenghua official kiln porcelain is mainly in the blue and white regular script "Daming Chenghua Annual System" six-character double-line inscription, surrounded by blue and white double circles or double square frames.

Of course, there are also very few without sidebars.

The location of the inscription is mostly on the outer bottom of the utensil.

See also the six-character regular script written horizontally from right to left in blue and white material.

Falls on the rim of the plate or the inner edge of the foot of the goblet.

Another Chenghua color porcelain is blue and white.

It is characterized by deep fonts and no floating feeling.

The brushwork is vigorous and powerful, the brushwork is carried by the center, the strokes are thick, and the font is fat, so there is a saying that "Chenghua's money is fat".

The font is not strict and standardized, it seems to be written by children, showing a childish air.

The blueprint of Chenghua official kiln inscriptions seems to have come from a single hand, and it has not been copied by previous dynasties.

The most important bottom feet are generally these 25 characteristics.

If you look at these 25 characteristics, the final identification is no problem at all, then the base of a piece of porcelain is at least genuine.

Previously, Chen Wenzhe had checked the overall enamel, tire quality, decoration, and shape of the Sanqiu cup in his hand, and found that there were no problems.

Now that he has analyzed the bottom foot, and there is no sign of fraud, then he can be 100% sure that this is a genuine product.

It is used for collection, or even exhibited in museums, rather than being auctioned by auction companies.

Therefore, as long as he is sure that it is a genuine product and that it is in good condition.

This kind of exquisite porcelain is only displayed in museums, so no one should criticize it.

After all, it is not always the market, so that there will be no interest disputes with some people.

If this is the case, there will still be people who will jump out to fight against him, saying that it is a fake.

If they want to be famous for this, they really want to be blind.

The current Chen Wenzhe is really not a nobody.

Although he may not be famous, not known to the general public.

However, he should know what he should know.

At the very least, the high-level people on the South China Sea side and Dahai City should know about him.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe is really confident in his development in Dahai City.

In this way, no one will oppose him. As long as this Ming Dynasty Chenghua Sanqiu cup is kept in his museum for a period of time, it will be comparable to the three of Shendu Forbidden City and Wanwan Forbidden City.

Not to mention anything else, it's just that such a cup, put on display in his family's museum, caused a sensation that was definitely no worse than a golden jade dress.

Maybe the golden hazel jade clothes are more famous in the society, but in the industry, it is obvious that the Sanqiu Cup, which is rarer in number, is more attractive.
