My system is not decent

Ordinary porcelain dragons can be drawn casually, but it is different on large tanks, which is the same as the difference between making TV and making movies.

Something is magnified and becomes high-definition, and some flaws and defects are particularly conspicuous.

Therefore, painting large-scale decorations is really not something that everyone can do well.

The large vats here are obviously high-quality goods, such as the other one, which is painted with a lion.

Two lions, decorated with the pattern of double lions playing balls, the pattern of wishful ribbons, and the gaps are lined with patterns of miscellaneous treasures.

Its main decoration is the pattern of double lions playing with a ball, on which two groups of lions are painted with wide-open eyes, open mouths and teeth, flying hair, vigorous and mighty, playing with each other around the hydrangea ball.

The bigger the tank, the bigger the lions on it, and even so, the two lions are fired so lifelike, which is not easy.

In fact, the decoration on the dragon cylinder is not the most difficult technique, the most difficult thing is actually the shape, it is big, so it is the most difficult to make!

Embryo pulling here is really a technical job, and ordinary people can't pull it.

After seeing such a good thing, Chen Wenzhe naturally wouldn't miss it.

Not to mention anything else, but the drawing of the cloud dragon and the lion above is worth stopping and learning.

Standing outside the door to watch, I still couldn't see clearly, so Chen Wenzhe simply walked into the store.

Only then did he realize that the inscriptions on these two large tanks were also very standard.

The inscriptions on these two large blue and white vats are small and very regular, but his missing inscriptions are written on his lips.

Chen Wenzhe knew that this seemed to be a rule handed down from the Qing Palace before, or a habit or custom?

Walking into the store, Chen Wenzhe found out that this store is really a bit special, it is either tanks or cans here, anyway, they are all large vessels.

In addition to the two large vats in the middle, there are many other vats in the shop. There are quite a few large and small vats, and the largest ones are the two first seen.

In addition to those two, there are two others that are not small in size.

One is a pterosaur vat, and the other is also a large vat with a cloud dragon pattern.

It's a pity that these large tanks are all modern handicrafts, not antiques, otherwise the value would be even higher.

Due to the difficulty of firing large blue and white vats, they are huge in size and difficult to carry after firing, and they are prone to freezing and cracking when storing water in winter, as well as natural and man-made disasters such as turmoil and change. The blue and white vats of the Qing Dynasty are hard to see.

By the time of the Republic of China, there were very few dragon tanks preserved intact, and even rarer ones have been handed down to this day, which also shows how rare they are today.

Nowadays, blue and white vats are often sold at auctions for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

In the early 90s, an exquisite imitation blue and white seawater pterosaur tank was successfully auctioned in Hong Kong for 30 Hong Kong dollars. It can be seen that the imitation of the blue and white dragon pattern tank can also be loved by people.

Obviously, the seawater pterosaur tank in the store is a fake, and the imitation is fairly fine. If you don't look at the fire outside, you really can't see any flaws.

I looked at the price tag, [-], [-] for a large tank, is it expensive?

It's really not expensive, you know, no matter what age it is, the firing cost of this kind of large vessel is not low.

This does not count the production process and man-hours, but only counts the firing cost.

So how high is the firing cost of the blue and white vat?The Imperial Kiln Factory in the Ming Dynasty once estimated that the large porcelain vats were estimated at 58 taels of silver each, and the second porcelain vats were estimated at 50 taels of silver each.

At that time, the average cost of official kiln porcelain was only one tael of silver.

There are about [-] or [-] sticks of pine firewood used in the firing of more than a thousand pieces of small porcelain in the folk, and forty or fifty sticks more are used to fire the Dalonggang kiln.

That is to say, generally, the cost of firing a kiln for such a large vessel is four or five times that of a small vessel.

After successful firing, the value of this kind of porcelain is forty to fifty times that of ordinary small wares.

Therefore, such an exquisite large tank, even if it is a modern work of art, the price of [-] is not expensive!

After turning around, Chen Wenzhe realized that there are not many good things here, only five or six.

For other large cylinders, the price is different according to the diameter and size, and the price is very cheap.

直径73cm的880元、直径90cm的1800元、直径1米的2800元。

Compared with those [-] pieces, this price is too cheap, so many tourists are very excited.

It's a pity that this thing is not easy to carry, even if you are tempted.

Although this removes many potential customers, it does not mean that the business of this store is not good.

Just standing there for a while, Chen Wenzhe saw several business transactions, including two foreigners, obviously they wanted to take things out of the country.

After a little attention, Chen Wenzhe found that the two foreigners were still big customers.

They are wholesalers, so it's definitely not just one or two pieces, this is a big business.

After Suihou Zhizhu recorded all the craftsmanship worth recording, Chen Wenzhe slowly walked out of the shop and continued to move forward.

After just a few steps, I saw another porcelain shop.

This is a company that sells ceramics for daily use. It seems to be a brand. This is the routine of a modern ceramics factory.

Without the desire to go in and take a look, Chen Wenzhe continued to walk forward.

Next, he saw a lot of specialty stores set up by ceramic factories here, and the production techniques were reasonable. You must know that these are industrial products produced on a large scale.

Several of them are foreign brands. It seems that not only domestic merchants have seen opportunities, but foreign porcelain manufacturers have also seen opportunities. After all, this is a big city.

After crossing the Town God's Temple and coming to Hualou, the stalls here have changed a lot.

Now these antique stalls have all become fixed stalls, and there are very few mobile stalls, and this is obviously easier to manage.

As for the antiques sold at the booth, no one knows whether they are true or not, but they still look a bit like that one anyway.

Chen Wenzhe just looked around casually. If these things were really antiques, they wouldn't just be placed here in the open air.

It's just that, compared to the original fake ones, the current ones are imitated more seriously. As for high imitations, they are still rare.

Of course, there are more ordinary old things, such as bottles and cans from decades ago, and at most there are some old things from the Republic of China.

In the period of the Republic of China, there were no official kilns, coupled with social turmoil, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts would appear, so some of the imitations in that period were really good, and some were just that.

However, after dozens or hundreds of years, even if it is something bad, time has endowed it with a thick history, which can make it look like that.

Shaking his head, Chen Wenzhe walked into Hualou.

The antiques on the market now are not as good as the small bowl with thin tires from the Republic of China that he received when he first opened the shop!

That one could have sold for 5000 yuan at the time. If it were placed now, with the current market enthusiasm, it might sell for [-] to [-] yuan. After all, the appearance of that small bowl is really good.
