Chapter 67 Chenghua Dou Cai
In Avonzhai, Zhou Yafang was holding an antique in her right hand and a high-powered magnifying glass in her left hand. She was looking at it carefully. In front of her eyes was a specially installed high-brightness lamp. She was so engrossed in seeing it, so Even if Fang Ming and Jiang Wen walked in, she didn't notice.

"Miss Avon..."

Jiang Wen was about to say something, but Fang Ming stopped her immediately.

When he found the antique in Zhou Yafang's hand in Boshizhai just now, he was taken aback, because the color of Pixiu that appeared on his right hand was too thick when he first picked it up. As if there was substance, the only time this happened was when the golden Buddha holding the relic was found.

You must know that the Golden Buddha was sold for 500 million in the end, and it was still half sold and half given away.

The antique in front of him can actually cause such a reaction from Pixiu, the value is definitely extremely huge.

Time passed slowly, Zhou Yafang had been carefully looking at the antiques in her hand, and the expressions on her face were also very rich: for a while, she furrowed her eyebrows tightly, and then stretched them out to reveal a smile, and then she furrowed them again. frowning...

Fang Ming paid attention to Zhou Yafang's expression together, and seeing her expression like this, his mood went up and down like a roller coaster.It stands to reason that since the Pixiu in his right hand has "proved" that the antique in Zhou Yafang's hand is a good thing, then it must be a good thing, and there is no need to worry about it, but he suddenly thought of a problem, that is, if other antiques are appraised Even if a master can't identify the antiques that he picked up through the Pixiu ability, isn't his work in vain?
You can't have the final say on your own, can you?In fact, it doesn’t count if I say it alone!

After realizing this, Fang Ming's heart immediately became aroused, and he fixed his eyes on Zhou Yafang. He was looking forward to what kind of appraisal she would make!
"Sister Avon, do you think this thing..."

Finally, Fang Ming couldn't bear it any longer, and interrupted Zhou Yafang's identification.

As if regaining consciousness all of a sudden, Zhou Yafang looked up at Fang Ming and said, "Fang Ming, what kind of antique do you think this is?"

"This...I think it's fighting color."

Fang Ming hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his own judgment. Although he said that with the help of Pixiu's supernatural power, no one could beat him in picking up leaks, but when it came to the knowledge of antiques, he knew that he was still a beginner, so naturally he didn't have a big problem. confidence.

Chinese traditional habits divide porcelain into celadon, blue and white porcelain, colored porcelain and white porcelain.

The so-called celadon refers to the porcelain with cyan glaze on the surface. This is to use celadon glaze on the porcelain body-this is a colorant with iron as the main component. The unique color will be formed during the production process. The main feature of celadon is that the quality of the porcelain is as fine as oil, the lines of the porcelain made are as bright and smooth as water, the shape is dignified and simple as a bell, and the color is as pure as the deep sea. All let celadon become a member of the world famous porcelain.The Qianfeng emerald color, pink green, and emerald green mentioned in the history of porcelain refer to this kind of porcelain. The Yue kiln in the Tang Dynasty, the official kiln in the Song Dynasty, the Ru kiln, and the Longquan kiln all belong to the celadon series.

Another name for blue-and-white porcelain is Baidi blue-and-white porcelain, which is usually referred to as blue-and-white porcelain. It belongs to underglaze colored porcelain. First, the porcelain body is painted with cobalt oxide-containing raw materials, then covered with a layer of transparent glaze, and then fired at high temperature. made.After firing, cobalt turns blue, and the color is as bright as a flower. The first blue-and-white porcelain appeared in the Tang Dynasty. "JDZ, after the Yuan Dynasty, the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was already dominated by blue and white porcelain. In the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, blue and white porcelain developed to the highest peak. During this period, there appeared small categories such as blue and white red color, yellow ground blue and white, and malachite green glaze. .

White porcelain is a kind of porcelain made of fetal soil with very few impurities. When firing, the fetal soil with extremely low iron content is first selected, and then after special treatment, there are few impurities, so the color is as white as jade, and a layer of iron is added. The transparent glaze on the surface will become whiter like snow after firing.Although white porcelain is simple and elegant, without dazzling colors, it has a natural beauty that people like very much.

Colored porcelain, also known as "painted porcelain", is a kind of porcelain with painted patterns on the surface of the porcelain. The picture is not in direct contact with the outside world, and can avoid wear and corrosion to the greatest extent under the protection of transparent glaze) and overglaze colored porcelain (colored patterns are on the glaze of the porcelain surface, which is characterized by bright and vivid colors, decorative The artistry is also stronger) two categories, the underglaze color originated from the blue and white in the Tang Dynasty, and the overglaze color appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is the so-called famille rose. This period is also the highest peak of color porcelain achievement , and the place where colored porcelain is produced is the most famous JDZ kiln.

The bucket color mentioned by Fang Ming is a kind of colored porcelain, which specifically refers to the colored porcelain that uses the technique of "painting the half body of flowers and birds with blue material before the body, and then adding the colored material to make up the whole". Underglaze blue and white to outline the outline of the border, and then pass through the colored porcelain filled with overglaze paint.Of course, there is also a way to use the combination of underglaze blue and white and overglaze color on the blue and white, but generally speaking, the fighting color does not refer to this, but to the former.

"I remember seeing a bucket-colored porcelain in a book, which seemed to be from Chenghua period. The abdomen is round like a drum, there is a crabapple flower on the top of the lid, there are ganoderma lucidum flowing around, and there are flying butterflies on the tank wall, etc. From a technical point of view, all the outlines are first drawn in the underglaze blue and white year, and then in the The glaze is filled with colored materials, which is the standard bucket color process."

"The antique you are holding is very similar to the Chenghua Doucai I have seen."

Zhou Yafang nodded and said: "Yes, what you said is correct. This is a rich and noble peony plate with fighting colors. The decoration on the whole plate is as fresh as stars, which is pleasing to the eye. The green leaves, the red peonies and auspicious clouds complement each other and compete with each other, and this is the unique style and charm of Doucai."

Fang Ming was overjoyed when he heard that, and said, "Sister Yafang, do you also think this is a colorful antique?"

Zhou Yafang didn't speak for a while.

Among the most famous fighting colors in various periods, the Chenghua period is the most famous. There are more than 6 kinds of fighting colors in the Chenghua period, and each color is divided into different shades. For example, yellow is divided into apricot yellow, Goose yellow, turmeric, etc., green, blue, red, etc. also have different levels. These colors have not been imitated by many people so far, and this is the most valuable part of the fighting colors during the Chenghua period.

There are two types of fighting colors in the Chenghua period, one is the "Daming Chenghua Annual System" type, and the other is the "Tian" type. Because of the production process, Chenghua fighting color porcelain is all official kiln wares. The number itself is very small, and there are even fewer remaining in the world. At present, they are mainly preserved in the two National Palace Museums in BJ and Taipei.

"Chenghua Doucai is very precious. Even if there is a private collection, no one is willing to sell it. I remember that many years ago, a 12cm Chenghua Doucai Goblet was auctioned at a high price of 100 million US dollars. We will never see Chenghua Doucai again, so Chenghua Doucai has become a priceless treasure."

Slowly, Fang Ming understood the meaning of Zhou Yafang's words. The output is extremely small, and there is less storage, and it is a priceless treasure. All these show how rare Chenghua Doucai is, how can you find Chenghua Doucai by picking up the leak ?What's the difference between that and getting lucky?
Fang Ming's brows were tightly frowned, this is not good news - just as he thought before, if others can't identify that this is a Chenghua Doucai, then no matter how powerful his Pixiu ability is, so what? ?If others don't recognize it, then naturally it won't be sold. It's impossible for me to tell about the supernatural power of Pixiu, right?

Regardless of whether you want to say it or not, even if you want to say it, others will not believe it!

"Sister Avon, but I think it is a fighting color from the Chenghua period."

Zhou Yafang looked at Fang Ming, and found that the other party's tone was affirmative. Obviously, she believed that the person in front of her was Chenghua's fighting color, but what she couldn't understand was how could Fang Ming have such strong confidence?
Especially when he has already pointed out that Chenghua Doucai is extremely rare and still so confident?
intuition?

Could it be that Fang Ming relied on his intuition to determine that this is a Chenghua fighting color, so he insisted that he was a Chenghua fighting color?
Thinking of this question, Zhou Yafang frowned. If this was the case, she would be very disappointed. You must know that the identification of antiques is a science, which pays attention to empirical evidence, rather than intuition similar to "guessing", or You can rely on intuition to pick up leaks, but if you still have such an attitude in the appraisal, it will be very problematic.

"Fang Ming, this rich and noble peony plate of fighting colors... To be honest, I am a little bit unsure whether it is real, but there are very few Chenghua fighting colors left in the world, I don't think we have such good luck. "

No matter from the glaze, style, and the bottom of the plate, the plate in front of me is very similar to the fighting color of the Chenghua period, but the more it is like this, the more uncertain Zhou Yafang is that it is a piece. Chenghua Doucai!
If it is true, then the plate in front of you will be worth nearly ten million!
Fang Ming naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Yafang's words, frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Sister, why don't we go find Qian Fang? He may have other opinions. Maybe."

Zhou Yafang's eyes lit up, and she said, "How could I have forgotten this matter? Qian Fang is an expert in the field of Chenghua Doucai in China. It's a perfect time to ask him for advice on this question."

Zhou Yafang really wanted to confirm whether the plate in front of her was Chenghua Doucai!
