The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

According to the fragments of the large pot of Cizhou kiln in the Yuan Dynasty that were out of water before, it is possible to judge that this blue and white plate that will be out of water is also a product of the Yuan Dynasty by guessing alone, not to mention that Randi, who took over, took it out of the net bag. In the big market, Zhang Nan has discovered that this is a blue and white lotus pond waterfowl pattern diamond mouth plate.

In the center of the plate are two waterfowl herons foraging in a lotus pond. The birds, lotus leaves and flower buds form the central two-story space in the visual layout. The outer circle is followed by the ruyi cloud head pattern, the water wave pattern, and the tangled branch pattern. The biggest visual experience of the whole plate is one word-full!

The blue pattern decorations are full of patterns, but they look very grand.

Taking the dripping plate with both hands from Randy's hands, it feels very heavy and the weight is not light!

The glaze is white and slightly blue, because the upper seawater is not dry, it looks lustrous and translucent; the blue and white hair color is strong and fresh, showing a verdant indigo color, and there are black rust spots on the thick parts: touch a few places of the glaze color with your hand The blue and white glazed surface, the fingers feel a little bumpy.

Even if I am a rich and enemy country, I have already had two Yuan Dynasty blue and white fine products before, but I am still a little excited!

Turning it over, there is no mark.

"This is an imported Su Ma Li Qing Yao, with dense composition, multiple layers, and five layers of neatly painted paintings. Guan, this is a genuine'very positive' Yuan blue and white.

Oh!

Vita, you said there is a small half-cabin underneath? "

In the second half, Zhang Nan couldn't help asking the diving captain who showed his upper body again: If there are a lot of them underneath, then it would be a real discovery!

Although the patterns and patterns on this large plate are traditional Chinese paintings and patterns, the painting style has obvious Islamic style.

Blue and white porcelain, knowing that in the Yuan Dynasty, it still does not conform to the traditional aesthetics of the Han people, because the traditional culture of the Han people has always been simple and elegant, and the patterns fired after the blue and white paintings are too fancy.

The Yuan blue and white pattern originally absorbed the elements of Islamic culture, and this kind of influence actually continued until the Ming Dynasty, but it became less obvious.

This is the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty found on a shipwreck on a long voyage. It is likely to be the same as the "Black Stone" 500 years earlier. The ship was also going to the nearby Bangka Island, or simply to Beli. Hole for replenishment.

This is not just a question of money, but also the value of nautical archaeology.

The diving captain was still soaking in the sea, and was about to come up. Hearing what Zhang Nan said, he quickly said: "Yes, boss, in the second cabin near the bow.

There are not only this kind of large plates, but also other porcelains, and there are also many containers, all of which are Clark porcelain. "

The silt on the seabed protects the main body of the sunken ship. After the silt is initially removed, the head and tail can be distinguished.

This is about Vita's name for Yuan Qinghuayu, Zhang Nan didn't bother to correct it-ordinary Europeans and Americans basically called blue and white porcelain "Clark porcelain", who did not know what blue and white porcelain was 400 years ago!

In 1602, the Dutch East India Company captured a Portuguese merchant ship "Clark" at sea, and found that it was equipped with a large amount of blue and white porcelain that made them stunned.

These porcelains are of course from China, but the Dutch don’t know or understand, but it doesn’t prevent the Dutch who are still using pottery from being such a treasure of this batch of porcelains. They are almost crazy with excitement!

I don't know what this kind of porcelain is called, and I don't even understand the place of origin, so Europeans just named them "Clark Porcelain".

Later, Chinese porcelain was gradually exported to Europe. Because of the sensational and far-reaching impact caused by the goods of the "Clark", the blue and white porcelain was still called "Clark porcelain" by Europeans. It’s really embarrassing for them to pronounce "blue and white" with their tongues.

Because of this historical reason, Zhang Nan never corrects the western name of blue and white porcelain by the guys. Anyway, in the Western world, the frequency of making blue and white porcelain is not high. It doesn't matter if the guys' name is changed or not.

I have been stocking up on high-quality porcelain for export since long, and there are always a few other high-quality goods. I didn't expect that there is a half-cabin Yuan blue and white waiting for me!

This is not only rare, it can be considered a lifetime.

"I'll go down and take a look." After Zhang Nan said this sentence, he turned to Guan Xingquan behind him: "Notify the Big Shark, send Chen Jianghua over in a small boat, and tell him that there is the most positive Yuanqinghua here!"

When Guan Xingquan heard this, he turned and left: After spending so many years with Zhang Nan, he knows what "Zhongzhen Yuan blue and white" means---one of the top products in porcelain!

The blue and white cobalt materials used in blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty mainly include imported materials, domestic materials, and mixed materials. The imported cobalt materials are mainly "Suma Liqing", which belongs to the high-iron and low-manganese type. The blue and white color is blue and bright with iron. Rust spots. The domestic materials are basically high manganese and low iron type, with lighter hair color and no iron rust spots.

Zhang Nan said that the current academic circles generally divide the Yuan blue and white flowers into two types: the positive type Yuan blue and white flowers and the Yanhu Yuan blue and white flowers.

The Zhizheng Yuan blue and white is a pair of elephant-eared vases with the inscription "Eleventh Years of Zhizheng" collected by the British Daweide Foundation as the standard utensils for dating. That pair of bottles is also called "Daweide Bottle".

No matter how many people think that there is a problem with the bottles, they are the standard of this standard.

Comparing the two, the "to-positive" era is relatively late, and it is generally believed that this type of Yuan blue and white was mainly fired in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, about 1341-1368. However, since the twelfth year of Zhizheng (1352), the vicinity of Jingdezhen was affected by the war, this kind of "Zhizheng Yuan blue and white" burning work, which obviously had an official background, has ceased.

The latter is mainly based on a blue-and-white peony pattern tower-shaped bottle unearthed from a Yuan Dynasty tomb buried in 1975 in the sixth year of Yanhu in Xichi Kiln Factory, Huangmei County, Xiang Province, as the standard. Early Yuan Dynasty, that is, before about 1340.

However, this kind of age judgment is just a term. Without any documentary support, no one can say that there was no "Su Ma Liqing" in the early Yuan Dynasty. In the later period, there were many domestic blue and white blue and white materials: judging from common sense, domestically produced There are more blue and white porcelain fired with blue materials than imported blue and white materials.

The difference caused by raw materials is not only the color, but also the style.

The two types of Yuan blue and white are very different in style, because the "to positive type Yuan blue and white" is made of imported cobalt, which not only has gorgeous hair color and iron rust spots, but also has a halo phenomenon. In modeling and painting The technique is also different: the patterns are dense, the levels are various, and the shapes are generally taller.

The latter uses domestic materials, the color is relatively "plain", and the decoration is relatively simple and sloppy.

Judging from the current Yuan blue and white porcelain unearthed in China and found abroad, the most positive-shaped Yuan blue and white porcelains are mostly for export, as well as some furnishings and temple supplies.

As for those made from domestically produced green materials, there are a lot of daily-use utensils, and some are exported: not to the Arab world, but to Southeast Asia, such as those found in the Philippines and Indonesia.

It is very interesting. Almost all the blue and white blue and white flowers found in the Philippines are burial objects in the tombs, and they are small in size. It seems that this type of export was specially tailored to meet the special needs of some people in Southeast Asia for burial objects at that time.

How many are there now to the positive type Yuan blue and white?

The whole world adds up to less than 400 pieces. At least Zhang Nan said that the academic circles think so. The Topkapi Museum in Turkey and the National Museum of Iran are the places with the most positive-shaped blue and white blue and white collections.

The deck sailor was still preparing diving equipment for Zhang Nan. Guan Xingquan came back and said, "He will come right away, but the motor lifeboat on the cargo ship is not fast. It takes more than an hour."

Zhang Nan nodded, and carefully put the large plate that was still watching into a plastic water tank: it was filled with fresh water.

Good things, try to desalinate.

Boss Guan looked at Zhang Nan's actions and asked: "Is this the official kiln?"

"It should be, as long as it was fired in the first year of Yanyou or after 1314, it must be an official kiln."

"Why?"

Guan Xingquan was puzzled. Just now he thought it was because it was exquisite and was still a "straight blue and white", so he casually asked if it was an official ware.

As a result, Zhang Nan determined from the age, which is a bit strange.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan stretched his hand into the water tank, drew a circle on the third layer of ornamentation on the plate, and said, "This is the Ruyi Cloud Head Pattern, it is the Ganoderma Ruyi Tou..."

After he finished speaking, Guan Xingquan understood why: the official and civil wares in the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty can only be distinguished from the ornamentation, and it does not matter with the level of craftsmanship and the type of blue materials.

The reason is that since the first year of Yuan Yanyou (1314), Yuan Ting clearly stipulated that the two-horned five-claw dragon pattern and the patterns of unicorn, luan phoenix, white rabbit, and Ganoderma lucidum were not allowed to be used by officials and concubines!

Who decapitated!

As for the meaning of "waiting", it is probably the same virtue as "other violations of this regulation" and "the final interpretation right belongs to XX".

This is the reason for this rule. All Yuan Dynasty blue and white wares with prohibited patterns were official kiln wares produced by civilian kilns. However, a considerable part of Yuan blue and white porcelains that do not have these patterns are official kiln wares.

This is troublesome, because "Yes" is an official kiln, and "No" is not necessarily an official kiln. If the latter situation occurs, then rely on guessing!

What's more interesting is: The five-claw dragon is exclusively for royal use. What about fewer claws?

In the Ming Dynasty and the Braid Dynasty, the lesser ones can probably be regarded as "Python, Jiao", and the ministers can use it, such as the princes, but the grassroots probably won't use it.

But not in the Yuan Dynasty: come to a large jar with a blue and white dragon pattern in the Yuan Dynasty and look at the four-claw one.

Happy?

Happy!

Dragon, the proper official kiln...

Wrong, wrong, something wrong!

The three-claw and four-claw dragon patterns in the blue and white blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, as well as the thicker utensils, were basically folk kiln products used by officials and generals.

In Yuan Dynasty porcelain, three-clawed and four-clawed dragons flew all over the sky, flying around into the homes of the people.

There are always more folk kilns than official kilns. If you think that all the Yuan blue and white are sky-high, you would be wrong!

But as long as the workmanship is good, even if it is domestically produced, dozens of them are the starting price.

Of course, there is still a bit of a gap compared to the "straightforward" type that has been fired to the sky.

It's not too much worthless, but before Zhang Nan's rebirth, the speculators probably hadn't had time to fry the domestic greens of the Yuan Dynasty: it's not a good fry anymore, they are out of stock!

Except for the small, crudely crafted, intact, high-grade domestic Qingyuan blue-and-white wares that seem to be inferior, they may even be less than the "extremely positive" type!

It doesn't seem to be upscale, no matter how you fry it, it won't go up!

And the high-end...

It's not in some museums in China, or in the hands of people you can't think of. Anyway, there are none in foreign countries, because there was no export at the beginning.

Zhang Nan had a local Tibetan friend in his previous life, who was more than ten years older than his own. Even his son and Zhang Nan were also good friends. He was a townsman with the **** boss who sold yellow sand. Engage in collections.

Later, he also set up a battlefield and set up a machinery factory. The business has grown bigger and bigger. The financial strength is strong: I especially like porcelain, and the people are bold, much larger than Zhang Nan's hand. Even cultural relics dealers from other provinces will take the initiative to deliver them to the door.

The local government hoped that he could open a private museum. Although it was not opened due to financial reasons, it can still be regarded as a brand of collectors in Jiangnan Province.

Zhang Nan has been to his house several times and knows how rich his collection is: the four-storey buildings of the two bosses at the front and back of the house will not be less than 200 square meters each: one of them is not inhabited, and it is full of people from the basement to the top floor. The collection.

It is a pile, not a display.

The silver dollar classification of various varieties is installed in bamboo baskets, and a thick layer of ash is accumulated on the top; the porcelain of a certain variety of other people is considered to be one, and the other is based on the room!

Even on the stairs, there are piles of Qing Dynasty dishes and bowls on one side of each step: No way, there are too many, no place to put them.

Now Zhang Nan has a wealth of money, and sometimes he collects antiques by playing "unreasonable batches", but people have accumulated over decades, and more than half of the money earned in business has become collections.

When "Treasure Hunt" went to Yan County, the leaders of the Propaganda Department and the Director of the Cultural Management Committee accompanied experts and film crews from Beijing to his home to show the strength of Yan County's folk collection.

It's not on TV. People don't need TV to increase their reputation. They play low-key and lively in the circle. As a result, they surprised the film crew and the experts from Beijing!

In the porcelain collection, the "Five Great Kilns" are basically not played in the south. Generally, the early ones are Yue Kiln, Longquan, Ming and Qing Dynasty, which are official kilns. What if it is Yuan blue and white?

In the hidden treasure building, all other rooms and aisles are piled up, but there are really good friends and leaders who want to show their faces to visit. You can't always move things to the "front building", right?

There is still a large living room in the Tibetan Treasure Building, which is decorated a bit. There are some fine products, and even the chairs are top-quality Qing Dynasty mahogany furniture.

As soon as the expert arrived, before sitting down, he saw a mahogany slatted table facing south, with a blue and white pot with a height of about 30 cm, a regular shape and beautiful blue and white paintings placed on one end~www.wuxiaspot. com~ Take a closer look: domestic green material yuan blue and white!

It's intact, even the lid is there.

Where did you come from for a chat?

The Tibetan friend told these people from Beijing: Seventeen or eighteen years ago, an antique businessman in Jingdezhen sent it here admiringly.

As for the price at the time...

No one asked, he wouldn't say if he asked, or he would just break it at all.

In fact, even this way...

No one would tell the truth, and even Zhang Nan would not.

However, Zhang Nan and a few good friends in the local circle also know something that those from the capital don't know: not a pair, that buddy has exactly four pairs of Yuan blue and white pots!

As for the question of where it came from, Zhang Nan's knowledge of the origin is equivalent to not knowing, because the origin of the other party's explanation is reasonable, and you don't care where it came from, it's not yours anyway.

However, according to Zhang Nan's guess, there is a situation that is more likely: the funerary object is still a funerary object in a family cemetery, so there can be four pairs.

However, they have been hidden in other people's homes for at least 17 or 8 years, so don't go into the details of the problem. It is because of the sentence: as long as it is reasonable, it is reasonable.

As for why I didn't see it on TV?

Treasure hunting, real collectors and players, basically don't put good things on the TV, so they can't make a mistake.

Otherwise, there won’t be so many trusts: in Yanxian treasure hunt, at least half of the four people in the "Finals" are trusts. The "civil treasure holder" who wins in the end is actually a veteran radio broadcaster, director, etc. It's not his at all.

Trust, everywhere.

Of the two types of Yuan blue and white flowers, Zhang Nan prefers the "straightforward type" because it is big enough and colorful enough, so this will be so happy.

Dress neatly and get into the water.
