Chapter 768

Chu Chen thinks that from this result, it can be seen that the jar must have been made by Zhang huoni, because he really can't think of anyone among the high-level counterfeiters who has hidden things in this style.

Of course, the main reason is that the ability shows that the blue and white can was made in the Republic of China. At that time, Chu Chen could not think of anyone who had such excellent imitation technology except Zhang huoni.

Thinking of this, chuchen could not help scolding "abnormal" in his heart. Zhang huoni gave such a specious clue. If he had not found the blue and white jar by chance, where would he go to find it?

As for the key at the bottom of the jar, Chu Chen guessed that it was probably the one needed to open the box in the treasure. With today's technology, even if you don't need a key, you can open the box. But with Zhang huoni's abnormal psychology, it's very likely that there will be some mechanism on the box. If you don't have a key, you may be in trouble.

In fact, Chu Chen felt that the clues to the treasure should be hidden. After all, the things in the box were valuable and meaningful imperial seals. No matter how carefully they were preserved, they could not be over careful.

But what makes him feel very critical is that Zhang huoni's actions are too exaggerated. The clues are so scattered and vague, and they are all hidden in his imitation of very realistic antiques. If he doesn't have powers, who else can find them?

Of course, Chu Chen didn't know why Zhang huoni did it. Maybe he was worried that the treasure would fall into other people's hands, or he wanted to satisfy the idea of mischief in his heart. However, no matter what the reason was, Chu Chen still felt very unhappy as the person who wanted to take out the treasure. After all, he could see it but could not touch it It's hard.

"There's the last one. I hope we can find it as soon as possible." Chu Chen sighed to himself. He didn't know where the candlestick was now. Now everything was ready. He only needed the east wind. Even if he was calm, he felt a little anxious at this time.

Chuchen felt a little anxious, but Warren, standing beside him, was a little worried. During the period of waiting for chuchen to come to a conclusion, he was so anxious that he was sweating. The sweat flowed down and soaked his clothes.

Chu Chen raised his head and was surprised to see Warren like this. He quickly asked, "Mr. Warren, what's the matter with you? Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Warren murmured in his heart, and then said with a smile, "it's nothing. The temperature is a little high today, and I'm afraid of heat. I'll cool down for a while."

Then, he wiped the sweat on his head, indicating that he really had no problem, and quickly asked, "Chu, is there anything wrong with this blue and white can?"

Chu Chen was speechless when he heard that Wu Ke wanted to wear a skirt in the morning. It was because the weather was so cold that he didn't wear it. It was a little exaggeration that Warren said it was hot.

Chu Chen secretly shook his head. No matter how strange Warren was, it had nothing to do with him, so he said with a smile:

"Mr. Warren, I was worried too much just now. This blue and white can has no problem at all. It's really a genuine one."

Since this blue and white can is really made of Zhang huoni, and there is a key hidden in it, Chu Chen certainly won't say that he is a fake, so as to avoid unnecessary complications. Moreover, the thing is not expensive. He is willing to buy a crucial clue for 100000 RMB.

When Warren heard that it was genuine, he was relieved and happy.

Looking at Warren whose mouth is about to crack to the back of his ears, chuchen can't help laughing at his good luck. If this jar didn't have such an important clue, Warren would be in tears now.

"Mr. Warren, I wonder if you have any idea of selling the things you let me appreciate that day?"

I'm so sorry that Warren came to the back and said, "I didn't care about the real thing until I heard it."

However, after two steps, he suddenly thought of something. He pointed back to the Bogu shelf beside him and said to Chu Chen with a smile, "Chu, you can have a look at the things on it. If you like it, I can sell it to you cheaper."

See Chu Chen nodded, he then went to the safe inside.

In fact, Chu Chen doesn't have to guess. The value of the things on the Bogu shelf should not be high, or some of them may be fakes that have been identified by other experts. Otherwise, Warren's character must be put in his insurance box with these things in front of him.

But there was nothing wrong with it anyway. Chu Chen went over and looked at it casually. At the beginning, the four treasures of the study, porcelain, jade and bronze ware were all fake in Chu Chen's eyes. Such things could only be used as ornaments, which could deceive poor eyesight Tibetan friends like Warren. They had no value at all.However, when Chu Chen saw a small penholder, he was shocked, because if he read it correctly, it must be genuine and valuable.

You know, now Chu Chen's vision has been very tricky by his collection. He thinks it is a treasure. The value of this pen can be imagined.

This penholder is a material ware, that is, a glass ware. As I said earlier, ancient materials ware includes both ordinary and precious ones. The penholder Chu Chen is holding is the top quality of materials ware.

The height of the pen holder is only 7.2 cm, which is cylindrical, straight mouth and flat bottom. Enamel is painted on the white fabric. The pattern encircles the utensils and unfolds into a landscape painting. The composition is dense and sparse. The vast water surface and the dense forest and stone form a clever contrast. Both sides of the bottom frame, engraved inside the "Qianlong system" regular script. The glass body is smooth, bright and clean, warm as jade, and the painting technique is delicate and vivid.

Glass body painting enamel is developed from copper body painting enamel, but it has higher technical requirements than copper body or porcelain body painting enamel. Because the melting point of glass and enamel is very close, in the baking process of painting, if the temperature is low, the enamel glaze can not be fully melted, then the color is poor; if the temperature is high, the matrix deformation, that is waste.

At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the production of enamel painting reached its peak. After the 25th year of Emperor Qianlong (1760), the output of the Royal factory dropped sharply. The craftsmen no longer had the same innovative ideas as in the early days, and they no longer produced such exquisite products.

It is the unique technology of the palace workshop, and the product is not royal, which shows the royal status. The great Vader foundation in London has an enamel pen holder about the same size as this one with five old drawings on it, but that one is from shipsley. Chuchen doesn't know where Warren got it.

However, Chu Chen felt that from a Book of shipsley published by the United States in 1890, it should be the same as shipsley's collection, all of which came from a group of rare small-sized enamel objects painted on the ground. These objects should all be carefully painted by famous glass painters at that time.

All of these utensils are as white as white jade. The enamel on them shows the rich color series developed in the early Qing Dynasty. Painting enamel patterns is not only ingenious in composition, but also skillful in painting, with delicate and accurate strokes.

According to some academic materials he had seen before, Chu Chen judged that these utensils were all from the works of the peak period of court glass making in the early Qing Dynasty, which originated from the order of Emperor Kangxi to set up a glass factory.

Like other imperial workshops, the glass factory is under the jurisdiction of the manufacturing office of the Ministry of interior, which is responsible for the production, maintenance and storage of Royal utensils. In the Qing Dynasty, the main workshop was called "Yangxin hall", which was built by the government in 1691.

The key person who founded the Royal glass factory was the German missionary Gillian. He was born in 1655 in vilzburg, Bavaria. He entered the monastery in 1673 and was appointed a priest in 1683.

He once worked as a convent priest in the black forest area of Germany. At that time, spessart had more than 50 glass workshops, where Mr. Gillian should have acquired glass making skills. In 1691, Ji Ruian traveled across the ocean to China. In 1694, he first arrived in Australia. During that time, he repaired the lenses of optical instruments damaged during navigation. As a result, his talent was appreciated by local officials, so he reported to the emperor at that time.

In 1695, he was ordered to the capital and lived in the French priest's residence of canchikou Catholic Church in anmen, west of the Forbidden City. Emperor Kangxi ordered to build a glass factory in the 35th year of Kangxi, and appointed Ji Ruian as the supervisor. Chen Yuan Shi Lue, written by Wu Changyuan in Qing Dynasty, also records the production of glass near canchikou church at that time.

On October 31, 1696, Johann Hong, a Jesuit of France, wrote: "the emperor has built a beautiful glass factory on a large area of land next to our house. If we are willing to take over, he will give it to us."

He went on to write, " It's all because of Gillian. Please select one or two skilled craftsmen from our French glass factory to come to China immediately, so that we can produce glass, crystal and even glass mirror of European level. And please send a good enamel painter. "

Thus it can be seen that Emperor Kangxi was very interested in enamel painting. He accepted two highly skilled glasssmiths to enter the glass factory to train local workers for three years. He should have agreed to Hong Ruohan's request in 1696
