Chapter 1653

I also hope that the brothers and sisters who still have monthly tickets in their hands can give a cartridge case for the sake of the party and the state. The number of votes this month is too small. The cartridge case is worried. It has lost at least two liang of meat in two days****

The most conspicuous thing in the cabin is a row of large and small glass cabinets. These are vacuum cabinets. The air has been exhausted. There are some things in them, from gold and silver coins the size of thumb belly to porcelain plates and bowls, from mediocre pig iron helmets to gorgeous jewelry inlaid with broken diamonds. These things are all kinds, and even a slender bow and arrow!

Seeing these things, Qin Shiou immediately took a breath. What did the pirates rob? There's really nothing.

He knew that there would be a lot of things for the pirate Shenbao. He knew from the countless whale oil barrels in the big ship, but he didn't expect to have such bows and arrows higher than people. Those whale oil barrels were not round. How can they accommodate such long bows and arrows?

Qin Shiou didn't study gold and silver coins and jewelry. He probably took a look. He thought it was well preserved, so he shifted his eyes and looked at the slender bow and arrow curiously.

But little black was an expert. On the contrary, his eyes flashed on the long bow. Then he saw the porcelain with a layer of blue and white whale oil on the outside, and suddenly exclaimed, "snow, alla PORCELANA!"

After listening to his words, Billiton smiled and bowed like a medieval European gentleman. He smiled and said, "yes, man, your eyes are completely correct. This is alla PORCELANA!"

Qin Shiou was looking at the longbow. After listening to their singing, he asked strangely, "what does alla PORCELANA mean? I haven't heard much about it. Is it a special name for some kind of porcelain? "

English characters are different from Chinese characters. There are few original characters in modern Chinese. If it is a random combination of strokes, it is not a word. However, English is constantly developing with the times. Some new English words are created in each era. For example, the word kongfu appeared after Bruce Lee entered Hollywood. In addition, every newly discovered substance will piece together a new word.

Therefore, Qin Shiou doesn't understand some words at all, because it is only used occasionally in this industry and field. Let alone him, even European and American natives with only general education don't understand the meaning of these words.

Little black gathered in front of the glass cabinet and looked carefully at the porcelain inside. There were plates, tea cups, bowls, vases and a gooseneck teapot. They had different styles and colors. Obviously, they were not a set of porcelain.

While watching these porcelain attentively, little black explained to Qin Shiou: "alla PORCELANA, you can understand the name of a kind of ceramic, such as Dingtao and Yuan blue and white in your country, but this is a special word in the ceramic industry, which really means tin glazed pottery simulated."

Qin Shiou leaned over and looked. The surface of the porcelain was covered with a layer of whale oil. Although the whale oil was evenly distributed on the surface of the porcelain and there was only a shallow layer, it was a little solid due to the long shelf time and low temperature and high pressure, so it covered the light and color of the porcelain inside.

With enough eyesight, he could see the general appearance of these porcelain. From the appearance, these porcelain were not very similar to Chinese porcelain, with a strong style of Western porcelain. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chinese porcelain has been known for its simplicity and humanity. Western porcelain began to develop in modern times, with exaggerated and gorgeous shapes and colorful colors.

The colors of these porcelain are gorgeous, such as bright red, dark blue, golden yellow, etc. some patterns are drawn on them. Qin Shiou watched for a while, and his face showed a strange expression and said, "this is our Chinese porcelain? I think the above pattern is related to our Chinese culture? "

The largest porcelain plate is painted with a circle of Tenglong, which is not a dragon like a big lizard in the west, but a divine dragon in Chinese traditional culture. In addition, Qin Shiou also noticed that this dragon is a five clawed divine dragon, which is the representative of the emperor.

The golden gooseneck teapot is painted with human figures. These people are dressed in bun, wide sleeves and hanging robes. Obviously, they are also the dress of ancient Chinese people.

After hearing his question, little black shook his head and said, "no, man, this is not your porcelain. Chinese porcelain is called China. This is alla PORCELANA, Venice porcelain. Well, it's hard for you to understand. If you want to find out its identity, I have to explain it from the beginning. "

Qin Shiou nodded and said that knowledge is the most precious wealth. It's good to learn more about appreciating antiques. Of course, this is also suitable for chicken soup. He thinks the most precious wealth is the heart of Poseidon. He has nothing to worry about eating and drinking all his life.

Little black pulled out his reluctant eyes from the porcelain inside, and then began to tell: "you know, man, China and Egypt were the first to develop pottery technology in the world, and you may not know that as early as the Neolithic age, the pottery technology of these two countries had spread to Greece and some Islands in the Aegean Sea in Europe."

"So early? How to spread the past? No, there were Columbus characters then? " Qin Shiou interrupted and asked if he could understand the problem.

Little black rolled his eyes and said, "how do I know? I study appreciation, not historical geography. Don't interrupt and listen to me. "

"Around 3000 B.C., Tessari District in central Greece and Crete Island in the Aegean Sea accepted and developed these pottery techniques and became the pottery center of Europe at that time."

"The European pottery of that era set the artistic tone for the later porcelain technology, that is, the color was gorgeous. At that time, the pottery in tesari was single red, while the pottery in Crete was polished. In order to pursue beauty, the pottery was painted or engraved. You Chinese also call this pattern cloud pattern."

I have to admit that little black has a good eloquence and talks about these professional knowledge. Qin Shiou is very comfortable. However, he only wants to receive some training in the basic appreciation of modern Western porcelain, not the whole history of Western ceramic art!

"Be crisp, man. If I want to study, I'll sign up for a class. Now I just want to know what's going on with the alla PORCELANA you're talking about? What era of porcelain? How much is it worth? " Qin Shiou tries to be patient.

Little black curled his lips and said, "I don't know how to cherish. Can you compare what you learned with me in those study classes? But now is really not a time for nonsense. If you want the simplest quotation, I estimate that each of these alla PORCELANA can bid more than one million dollars! "
