Chapter 294

The glaze color of this lamp is thick, and the kiln changes radiate gold and silver light. The texture is smooth and even, which is very rare. The bottom of the foot is purple brown, thick and hard, heavy as iron slag.

When Chu Chen touched the glaze with his hand, he could clearly feel a kind of uneven feeling. When he looked at the light source at a 45 degree angle, he could clearly see that the "rabbit hair silk" was sunken under the black glaze.

Under the high-power magnifying glass, we can see that the glaze has small cicada feather patterns, dotted with snowflake like Venus and silver stars. The flowing and drooping rabbit hair patterns are irregular, like the gullies on the Loess Plateau in Northwest China. They are thick on the top and thin on the bottom, and even disappear, giving people a natural beauty.

Judging from the above features, Chu Chen thinks that this rabbit's hair cup should be a genuine one. After being tested with powers, it's just as he thought.

There are many black glazed bowls in Song Jian kiln, but such a good glaze water is obviously very rare. The key point is that there is a vertical line of "Gongyu" in the ring foot of this rabbit hair cup, which shows that this is tribute porcelain, which is very rare.

Then Chu Chen picked up another rabbit's hair and looked at it carefully. It was also a rabbit's hair for the emperor.

After Chu Chen put the rabbit hair cup back into the brocade box, Director Niu quickly asked, "Chu Shao, I don't know what you think of the small Oh, how about rabbit hair cup? "

"It's a good pair. I really like it." Chuchen said with a smile.

Director Niu was very happy and said: "we don't understand antiques. Chu Shao, you'd better make a price."

Chu Chen thought for a moment, stretched out two fingers, just wanted to speak, Director Niu was surprised and said: "Chu Shao, this pair of small bowls can be worth 20000? It's too much, isn't it? "

Chu Chen said with tears and laughter: "it's not 20000, it's 200000!"

Hearing Chu Chen's reply, Niu Junfeng, sitting opposite, almost spurted out a mouthful of tea he had just drunk.

Director Niu was also stunned and stunned. After a while, he said with some tongue tied: "you Are you right? This pair of black bowls are worth so much money? "

Chu Chen was speechless when such a beautiful pair of rabbit hair cups came to Director Niu's mouth. He said, "Director Niu, this pair of rabbit hair cups is a rare boutique in themselves, and you should know that they are given to the Imperial Palace, and their value is certainly different."

"That's too much, isn't it?" Director Niu said with some disbelief.

Chu Chen said helplessly: "Director Niu, I'm the buyer. Can I double the original price? I'll tell you, that's the price. If you don't think it's suitable, forget it! "

Director Niu said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of your loss! Let's not talk about this. Look at the box

Then he opened another brocade box and said, "look at this pair of small cups. The people who heard the appraisal said they were called Chicken jar cups. They said they were imitated in the Qing Dynasty. Before that, the person advised me to transfer them to him, but at that time, I was not short of money, so I didn't agree."

"What? Chicken bowl

Voice just fell, Chu Chen already can't take care of others, can't wait to see past to the brocade box inside.

I saw a pair of small cups in the brocade box. The cups were open and slightly skimmed. The bottom of the cup was gradually narrowed, flat and full. The cup body is small, the contour line is flexible, the straight hidden song, the song is straight, showing a dignified and graceful, elegant and meaningful charm.

The cup wall decoration pattern matches the shape, which is sparse and coherent. On the outer wall, the female chicken leads several chicks to forage leisurely. Each chick has a look to look forward to. It is lovely and vivid. It is decorated with Lake stone, rose and orchid. The view is quite interesting.

From the appearance point of view, this is the famous doucai chicken bowl cup.

In the field of antiques, the doucai Jigang cup is well known to all, and the most famous one is the doucai Jigang cup in Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty. When it comes to Chenghua colorful chicken bowl cup, people can't help but look forward to it.

The first record of Shenzong in Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, which contains the value of Chenghua's colorful chicken bowl cup, says: "Shenzong is fashionable food. There is a pair of Chenghua's colorful chicken bowl cups in front of the emperor, which is worth 100000." In addition, according to the Ming Dynasty Wanli Shen De Fu "Ye Huo Bian" said: "into the kiln wine cup, each pair to Bo silver hundred gold."

And Emperor Qianlong once wrote a poem "chanting the chicken jar Cup" praising: "it's very far away for Zhu Ming to go here, and you can still see it when he Xuancheng elegant utensils. Han mang Xiu Cai is generally called Zhen, and the chicken jar is the best

In ancient times, doucai Jigang cup was so precious, and now it's even more valuable. Moreover, Chenghua doucai porcelain has a small number in the world. According to incomplete statistics, there are only about 250 pieces, and they are basically stored in the treasure island and the Forbidden City of the capital, with few folk.

Most of the 200 pieces are in treasure island, but not many are in the Forbidden City. And the chicken bowl cup is only a very small part of it, which is even more scarce. There are only a few pieces in the Forbidden City, which can be said to be rare among the people. The value of the colorful chicken bowl cup is obvious.

It's because the colorful chicken bowl cup is so famous that it's constantly imitated. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng, Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing and Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, all of them imitated the fire. Among them, Kangxi's imitation is the best, which is close to the original from the shape to the pattern.In terms of the style and fineness of the painting, if it's a Qing imitation, it's most likely a copy of the Kangxi period. But as for how it is, it's not until you start to know.

Chu Chen solemnly took the cup out of the box. The first thing he observed was the bottom of the cup. He saw that there was a double line and six character script in the blue and white columns, which was called "Da Ming Cheng Hua Nian system". Careful observation shows that the turning point of the pen is slightly slow, and the drilling material will be concentrated when the pen stops.

He was shocked to see this unique appreciation, because from the aspect of appreciation, it was not the Qing Dynasty imitation as Director Niu said, but the appreciation of Chenghua Dynasty.

Throughout the Chenghua period, the styles are all of this kind of immature and clumsy style, which is also a major feature of Chenghua porcelain, and it is not easy to imitate. There were imitations of Chenghua in Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli of Ming Dynasty and Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. Although the color and style of the imitation are similar to the real one, there are still some flaws to be found.

In Ming Dynasty, the imitated style appeared heavy strokes, sparse arrangement, and too large circles. It was similar to Chenghua style in appearance but different in strength. The color was thick but not bright. Only clouds and bubbles were similar to Chenghua kiln. The imitations in the Qing Dynasty are better than those in the Ming Dynasty, especially in color and style.

However, Chenghua real models all show a layer of clouds, bubbles like beads, and the blue and white color of the font is obscure. The Qing Dynasty imitation can be seen under the magnifying glass that the clouds are very light, the bubbles are uneven, the cyan color of the words is also lax, the color of the embryo is slightly yellow or white, and the bottom is slightly yellow where the glaze sand is connected.

Therefore, judging by the taste, this cup is likely to be Chenghua chicken jar cup.

Chu Chen did not expect that the cup in his hand might be a genuine one, which made his hands tremble.

You know, in recent decades, Chenghua chicken jar cup only appeared at auction three times before and after, all of which were released by Qiu family of Taicang. They were respectively found in the auction No. 31 of "Taicang Qiu's special anti Xizhai porcelain collection No. 1" in the autumn of 1980 and the auction No. 429 of "Taicang Qiu's special anti Xizhai porcelain collection No. 3" in the spring of 1981.

The transaction price was already HK $5.28 million and HK $4.18 million. One of them was sold in 1999 in the spring of 1999 at Fubi, Jiangsu. The transaction price was HK $29.17 million, which became the highest transaction record of ancient porcelain in China at that time.

If this is really a genuine Chenghua chicken bowl cup, no matter what its value is, it must be bought anyway because of its scarcity.

Chu Chen took a deep breath and then concentrated on his research.

In order to prove whether it is a genuine product or not, the fetus and glaze are the most important judgment basis. Chu Chen observed carefully that the fetus is white and delicate, thin and transparent, and it can be said that the fetus is as thin as paper. If it's genuine, you can see it in the sunshine. It's yellow and white. You can see kiln red in the exposed part of the ring foot.

Chu Chen went to the window and looked at the chicken jar cup in front of the light. Sure enough, he saw the above performance. Moreover, there was sticky sand at the exposed part of the ring foot. This sand was the granular fine sand left over from the potassium fruit glaze. After firing, it looked crystal clear. However, the imitation kiln red of the third Qing Dynasty is lighter, and the new imitation kiln red is heavier. The sticky sand on the sole of the foot is yellow sand, which is opaque and has no oil luster.

After seeing the embryo, and then looking at the glaze, this cup of white glaze is duck egg blue, soft and lustrous, which is exactly the characteristics of the real product. If it is the imitation chicken jar cup of the third Qing Dynasty, the glaze is thin, bluish white and pink white, and the oil is not as good as Chenghua. The new imitation chicken jar glass glaze is very similar to Chenghua glaze. It is green and yellowish, but the whole glaze is opaque.

Chu Chen carefully observed the color of the cup with a magnifying glass, and the color of the cup was the same as that of the real one. It was bright and bright, especially the yellow green glass. It was yellow green and purplish to the eye, and red was as bright as chicken blood.

The design of the cup is reasonable, the strokes are smooth and round, and the painting is lively. His paintings were designed by royal court painters, and then submitted to the imperial court for approval. Then, the teacher of "Renzhi hall" drew them by hand on the cup.

If it is genuine Chenghua, the two groups of chickens must be vivid. In the painting, the mountains and rocks are beautiful, the orchids and grass are quiet and green, and it is a prosperous scene. And so is the painting on the chicken bowl in front of us.

Therefore, according to the above characteristics, Chu Chen has eight or nine points of confidence, and can be sure that this is a genuine, but after all, it is worth tens of millions of things. Out of caution, he still used the powers, but there was no accident. The chicken jar cup in his hand is really a genuine product of Chenghua years!
