Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

As early as the 9th century AD, my country began to export overseas through the Silk Road. According to relevant documents, Turkey came into contact with Chinese ceramics around the 9th century. During the Tang Dynasty, my country presented a batch of Tang Dynasty porcelain bowls to the Islamic Lord. Since then, fine pottery has been produced in Baghdad and other Islamic areas.

Because it is greatly influenced by ancient Chinese porcelain. In the 13th century, with the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, which spanned the Eurasian continent, cultural exchanges between the East and the West became more frequent. At this time, ceramics including Yuan blue and white were exported in large quantities. At that time, Iznik craftsmen also began to imitate these artifacts from the East to meet the needs of the market and the court.

Because the Ottoman court was obsessed with blue and white porcelain, Iznik pottery often chose cobalt blue as the pigment. There were even a large number of Turkish Iznik "sister models" of Chinese blue and white porcelain.

From the appearance of the two, the difference between mature Iznik pottery and Chinese porcelain of the same generation is relatively weak, but there are still some shortcomings in texture and knocking sound.

"Iznik porcelain from Turkey was influenced by Chinese ceramics. Therefore, the patterns, colors, and aesthetics of Iznik ceramics are so similar to the patterns of Chinese porcelain that it is difficult to tell them apart."

After hearing what Chen Yang said, everyone nodded slightly to show that they understood. It turns out that this is the case, and it becomes clear why the object in front of me looks so much like an imitation.

Zhang Boyang listened and kept nodding. It turned out that this was the case. My senior brother didn't explain it so clearly just now. He only said that this object is foreign porcelain and is similar to our Yuan blue and white. This guy Chen Yang knows a lot!

No, the two of them are rivals now, and I envy him for what he’s doing! Thinking of this, Zhang Boyang looked at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you said one thing after another, but how can you prove that this is Iznik porcelain? After all, none of us have ever seen objects from their country. What if you What should we do if we are fooled?”

After Zhang Boyang raised this question, many people nodded. No one had ever seen this object. What if Chen Yang was just talking about it, unless there was something to prove it.

"I think what Boss Chen said is correct," an antique boss said with a nod. "I had contact with a foreigner before, and he mentioned it to me and said that our blue and white porcelain is very similar to Turkish colored porcelain."

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes!"

"Just because I haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

"Actually, it's very simple to prove whether what I said is right," Chen Yang glanced at everyone and said, "Look for a book on Appreciation of World Famous Porcelain. There is relevant information in it, and I also saw it in it."

This encyclopedia of appreciation of world-famous porcelain was read by me at my master's house in later generations. Now that I am using it, I can't tell them that I have seen it in later generations!

Isn't this a joke? Where can I find the world's famous porcelain appreciation encyclopedia now? But other than this method, how can we prove that Chen Yang is right?

While everyone was talking about it, the owner of the antique shop smiled slightly and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, don't make any noise. It's just a coincidence. I have a set of world-famous porcelain appreciation encyclopedia in this store. My apprentice bought it last year. I just happened to bring it over now to take a look. Isn't it clear?"

After the boss finished speaking, he asked his apprentice to go to the back and find this encyclopedia of appreciation of world-famous porcelain. After a while of rummaging, he found an introduction by Iznik of Turkey. The objects introduced in the book were exactly the same as the one in front of him.

"Iznik porcelain bowl of Turkey, probably fired in the 16th century, now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum!"

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but take a breath. Good guys, these two guys are not simple masters. One picked up items from his own museum and the other picked up items from other people's museums.

No, how could there be such a thing on the antique street? This thing can only be brought back from abroad. Those people on the antique street went abroad? Isn’t it nonsense to bring back items?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Boyang. It was impossible to find this object on the antique street. It was obvious that he had found this object before looking for Chen Yang to fight for the treasure. He was cheating!

"Um..." Zhang Boyang looked around, then kept moving his eyes, and finally slapped the fan into his palm, "Haha, I didn't expect that I was so lucky that I missed such a good item from abroad!"

"So, you got a punch in the eye!" Chen Yang hugged his shoulders and looked at Zhang Boyang with a smile and asked, "According to the rules, you lose this round!"

Song Qingyun hugged his shoulders and smiled beside him, Chen Yang, this kid, tsk tsk! I think that my eyesight is about the same as that of Chen Yang. The reason why Chen Yang is better than me is because of this boy's diligence. He can apply everything he has seen and learned, which is very rare.

Zhu Yuyan took out another potato chip from her bag, grabbed two pieces and stuffed them into her mouth. Chen Yang is so awesome. The potato chips are so delicious!

Zhang Boyang himself insisted just now that this was an imitation, but now that the facts are in front of him, he can't even admit it!

Zhang Boyang looked at Chen Yang and nodded slightly, acknowledging that he had an eye piercing. There is no shame in piercing this object. After all, so many owners of antique shops just now had piercings, unlike me.

It's okay to admit that you pierced your eyes, but it would be really troublesome if you admitted that you cheated!

"Okay, now it's your turn!" Chen Yang smiled and reached out to Zhang Boyang to open his last object.

Zhang Boyang took a deep breath. He didn't know what the last object was. He opened the cover. Zhang Boyang was a little stunned. This... was actually a bowl!

The bowl has a narrowed mouth, deep curved walls, shallow rounded feet, and a flat bottom. It is visually confirmed to be porcelain from the Xuande period. The overall shape is regular, the carcass is thick, dignified and handsome. It looks like the quality of an official kiln, but there is no style.

Moreover, the glaze of this bowl is also very strange. Although it is said to be covered with blue glaze, the entire glaze looks like white snowflakes with blue water droplets sprinkled everywhere. What on earth is this?

Zhang Boyang touched his chin, frowned and thought carefully. Chen Yang hugged his shoulders and looked at Zhang Boyang with a smile. Looking at his look, he knew that he was almost certain to win.

"How about it, Brother Zhang Xian, do you need me to tell you more about this object?" Chen Yang asked Zhang Boyang with a smile.

Zhang Boyang ignored Chen Yang, lowering his head and still thinking carefully. At this time, he didn't know who it was, and exclaimed from below, "Oh my god, this can't be..."

"Shut up!" Chen Yang shouted sharply, turning his head sharply to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looking in the direction of Zhang Boyang.
