Chapter 320

Because of its complex firing technology and exquisite materials, successful firing works are rare and the number of handed down works is very small. In addition, the time of firing this kind of porcelain in Yuan Dynasty was very short, which also resulted in the scarcity of this kind of porcelain.

Moreover, in the Yuan Dynasty, whether it is underglaze red porcelain or blue and white underglaze red porcelain, each successful work has a high aesthetic artistic value, with beautiful colors that other porcelain products can't match. It's not hard to imagine that it is so rare and has its unique artistic value to become the object pursued by later collectors.

These are also the reasons why blue and white underglaze red porcelain is very valuable in the international auction market.

But Lao Hu actually said that this porcelain was the rare and valuable Yuan Dynasty underglaze red. How could Chu Chen and Lao Yu not be surprised?

Lao Yu asked incredulously, "Lao Hu, this is really the underglaze red of Yuan Dynasty. Are you right?"

"Nonsense, how can I make a mistake? It's not true. I know it at the first sight. Do you think this underglaze red pot has the charm of the Yuan Dynasty at the first glance?" At the end of the day, Hu was elated.

Not to mention, this pot with red dragon pattern in glaze has a straight mouth, a short neck, a round shoulder, a tight abdomen and a round foot. The can body is decorated with peony pattern, rolling grass pattern and lotus petal pattern. The abdomen is dark engraved with the pattern of clouds and dragons chasing pearls. When you look at it roughly, you really feel that the lines are smooth and the strokes are precise.

This pot uses a typical process of drawing white from underglaze red, which is one of the decoration methods of underglaze color of porcelain and belongs to a kind of underglaze red.

The method is to leave the required part of pattern on the white tire, or carve out the pattern on the part, then smear other spare places with copper red material, then apply transparent glaze, and burn by reduction method. After firing, the pattern is shown in the natural color of the glaze in the surrounding red.

This method is also one of the techniques used in the firing process of Yuan Dynasty's underglaze red utensils.

From a rough view, it can be said that the color is uniform and the craft is superb. First of all, whether this jar is from the Yuan Dynasty or not is a very good work in terms of its craft level.

As an old man, he can't see that it's a fake with his eyesight. He is surprised to know that there are only dozens of Yuan Dynasty underglaze red artifacts, which are of great collection value and economic value.

However, he also knows his old friend's family background that it is impossible for him to buy such a thing at a high price. How did he get it? So he was curious and asked, "I said Lao Hu, how did you get this thing?"

Lao Hu said with a smile: "in fact, it's really a little evil."

It turned out that Lao Hu's ancestral home was in Zhongzhou. Last week, an uncle in his hometown died, so he rushed back.

After the funeral, the relatives over there advised Lao Hu to stay for a while. The relatives were very enthusiastic. In addition, Lao Hu thought that he would not easily go back to his hometown, so he stayed.

Lao Hu is a person who can't stay idle. After living in this way for three days, he is a bit bored. It happens that his hometown is also a famous historical and cultural city, and the antique market is very prosperous. However, he is also a person who likes playing antiques. It's hard for him to go back to his hometown and not go shopping.

It's not far from Laohu's hometown to the antique market. It's only 20 minutes' walk. He's also idle. Laohu doesn't take any transportation, so he walks to his destination.

The antique market is not big, but there are a lot of things. Lao Hu strolled into the afternoon and harvested a Qing Dynasty blue and white landscape plate.

With the harvest, Lao Hu walked back happily. After about five or six minutes, he heard a sound of "bang". Following the sound, he found that a middle-aged man was working in the field with a shovel. It was estimated that the sound just now was from something that the shovel touched.

"Why is there a wooden box here?"

Originally, this kind of thing is not strange, but the middle-aged man's exclamation aroused Lao Hu's curiosity, and came forward to see.

The middle-aged man gave Lao Hu a simple and honest smile, and then dug out a rectangular wooden box from the soil under Lao Hu's gaze.

The box was very old. It seemed that it had been buried for many years, and I didn't know what was in it. Seeing this, the middle-aged man hesitated and asked Lao Hu, "brother, what do you think this thing should do?"

In fact, Lao Hu is not stupid. From the beginning, he thought it was too coincidental. At present, this man is like a "mine". The best way to deal with this kind of thing is to leave. However, Lao Hu was really curious about the contents of the box, so he suggested that the middle-aged man open the box and have a look.

When the box was opened, although there were layers of protection inside, the contents didn't come as a surprise to Lao Hu. It looked like a jar with red glaze. Up to now, he basically decided that this was the situation set by the middle-aged man. So he didn't look at the jar carefully, so he planned to stay away from the right and wrong place.

"Can you show me this jar?"But before Lao Hu could take action, an old man came out from behind him. Before Lao Hu could react, he took the pot from the middle-aged man and looked at it.

The old man's hand movements are very skilled, and finally he took out a magnifying glass. In terms of Lao Hu's knowledge, this person should also be a professional.

As the old man looked at it, he uttered tut Tut's praise. Finally, after playing for a while, he naturally asked if the middle-aged man had any intention of making a move. On the other hand, Lao Hu had already been forgotten to Java.

This situation, this scene, immediately let Lao Hu confused, isn't this set for him? This makes him really want to see if it's right now. But now the jar is in the old man's hands, so he can only stare at it. It's impossible for him to grab the jar from the old man, right?

Fortunately, although Lao Hu can't start to observe, the things are right in front of his eyes. He can also vaguely see the performance of the jar. At first glance, it was quite new, which made old Hutton not think much of it. However, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like the underglaze red of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Isn't it really the underglaze red of the Yuan Dynasty?" Thinking of this, Lao Hu's heart was like being scratched by a cat. He wanted to snatch the jar from the old man's hand.

Over there, the old man was offering a price to the middle-aged man. In a short time, he paid 50000 yuan, which made Lao Hu more and more believe that it was really a Yuan Dynasty glazed red pot.

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of greed at this time, but after a while, he said dispiritedly: "uncle, it's not that I don't want to sell it, it's just that there was a publicity in our village, and the things in the field were dug up to be confiscated. What if I sell you something and the police take me to jail? "

"Hey! You know me about this... " Speaking of this, the old man seemed to think of Lao Hu next to him now, so he said to him with a smile: "brother, you have a share in seeing people. Since you have seen it, how about I give you 500 yuan later?"

The old man's meaning, Lao Hu also understand, that 500 yuan is nothing more than a sealing fee, but now he has more and more doubt that things are open-door goods, how can he give up a golden mountain for a small profit?

"This old gentleman, I say you are not kind!"

Seeing that the old man was a little surprised at his words, Lao Hu continued: "this thing was discovered by me and this elder brother together. I haven't seen it yet. You just snatched it. Do you think you are not kind?"

The old man could not help blushing when he heard Lao Hu's words. He said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I was attracted by this thing just now. I've done something wrong. Please forgive me!"

Lao Hu also took it as soon as he saw the good, and said, "can you give me that thing now?"

"This..." The old man seemed hesitant for a moment, as if he was worried about something.

At this time, the middle-aged man said: "I said the old man, this is your fault. The thing is clearly seen by me and the elder brother. We don't blame you for your horizontal insertion. Can't you show it to the elder brother?"

"Yes The old man thought about it and agreed, then put the pot on the ground carefully.

As soon as Lao Hu saw the old man's action, he was more sure that he was a professional, and he was more sure of the glazed red jar.

Taking the pot into his hand, no matter how he looked at it, Lao Hu felt that it was really an underglaze red pot of the Yuan Dynasty. The shape of the jar is right, the shape of the tire is right, the glaze color is right, and the technology is right. Except that this jar feels a little new, there is no problem at all.

However, there is a saying that it is better to buy the genuine than the fake. No one has stipulated that antiques must be old, and there are many reasons why they look new. For example, they were buried in the ground just now after they were unearthed, or they used to be an orderly thing. They may be very new.

After confirming the authenticity of things, Lao Hu's heart was very hot. He was so lucky that he could not stop it. Unexpectedly, he met an open door product with red glaze in the Yuan Dynasty. Does this mean that I am going to get rich?

"Brother, I don't know what do you think of it?"

When Lao Hu was dreaming about his life, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear, which made him come back to life. At the same time, he couldn't help feeling angry, old man! If it hadn't been for you, it would have been in my hands by now.

Let's not say whether this is a bureau or not. When Lao Hu thought so, he didn't think about it. He was ready to leave just now, and now he felt that it was right, so he complained about the old man. He was greedy and unreasonable.
