Play treasure master

Chapter 31
"Oh?" Huang Yongyi was taken aback, "It's not that Xuande official kilns have never used domestic green materials, but the hair color of this piece is not like the domestic green materials that appeared in the Xuande Dynasty. That kind of green materials should be blue with gray .”

"Boss Huang is knowledgeable." Yu Yao nodded, "But you have overlooked a situation. In the late Xuande period, there were official kiln wares that mixed Sumali green and domestic green materials, and the hair color was both. Features."

When Yu Yao said this, Huang Yongyi suddenly walked out of the fog, "Is there still such a situation? No wonder, if mixed, it looks a bit like modern green ingredients!"

However, Huang Yongyi's doubts are not limited to this one, otherwise he would not completely deny this blue and white bowl.

"Boss Yu, what's more, I think there is something wrong with this dragon."

"The dragon's nose is not so high, it looks a bit like a pig's nose, right? This is not because of poor painting skills, but one of the forms of dragons on Xuande official kilns, and it is really not easy to identify, because some folk kilns are poorly painted, and they are also a little bit Similar. Mainly, it still depends on momentum."

Yu Yao took a sip of tea, and then said, "These two doubts have been ruled out, let's look at the glaze color: it's a bit bright green, and at the same time it's orange peel glaze, this is the characteristic of Xuande official kiln blue and white. Also, look at the bottom, carefully White sand, flecked with flint red, fits well."

Old Zhou Yi slapped his forehead, "I'm really convinced of you, Lou'er can pick you up like this!"

Pu Jie was even more excited, the two of them ran this deal together, and now they made a lot of money!

However, Huang Yongyi was still a little puzzled. Now that he had come to this point, he simply continued to ask, "Boss Yu, I have another question. If it is a Xuande official kiln, it is a thing used by the imperial palace. How can there be so many cracks in the heart of the bowl?" ? If you say that the gap on the edge of the bowl is disabled, it can be explained by later generations. But the heart of the bowl is like an old wound, and it was used in the palace back then. How could it be ruined like this?"

Yu Yao smiled, "Boss Huang probably doesn't know much about this Emperor Xuande, this big blue and white bowl is actually a palace gambling tool!"

"Gambling equipment?" This point is indeed Huang Yongyi's blind spot in knowledge.

The knowledge involved in antiques is too complex, and everyone's blind spots may be different.

At this time, Lao Zhou called out:
"Could it be a dice bowl?"

"Yes." Yu Yao nodded, "This bowl is called a dice bowl. The so-called cracks in the center of the bowl are actually caused by the dice after long-term use!"

Pu Jie didn't know this either, so he scratched his head, "Gambling in the palace too? The problem is that the emperor also appointed this kind of official kiln? This is a bit..."

"What's the matter?" Yu Yao replied, "Emperor Zhu Zhanji of Xuande continued to create the rule of benevolence and Xuan. He is considered a good emperor, but he can do and play. He also has a nickname, Emperor Cricket. I like it. Fighting crickets. As for throwing dice, it's also his hobby, which can be found."

Huang Yongyi smiled helplessly, "When the book is ready to be used, I will hate it less. This, I really deserve my attention. However, there are too many suspicious points on a bowl, as long as there is one, I think it is unreliable, so I didn't make a move. No Come to think of it, you explained everything clearly!"

"There is a specialization in art. Boss Huang, your accomplishments in calligraphy and painting are beyond my reach." Yu Yao was quite modest.

"Don't bury me, brother! Liu Datou must have punched holes in the "Travel of Green Peaks on the Bank of the River", but you saw through it!"

At this time, Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Yu Yao must have been hiding his strengths and biding his time before, but this sudden appearance has blinded our eyes."

Huang Yongyi nodded again and again, "I am convinced of this big Xuande blue and white bowl! If I hadn't met him, I wouldn't even have known I had drilled my eyes!"

Yu Yao could only smile without saying a word, and waved his hands slightly.

Huang Yongyi continued, "I remember that the auction record for a large blue and white bowl in Xuande is more than [-] million yuan!"

When Pu Jie heard it, "What? So high? Isn't this similar to Guiguzi going down the mountain Yuan blue and white pot?"

Lao Zhou explained on the side, "It can't be compared. Guiguzi went down the mountain with a large blue and white pot, which was auctioned in 2005. The auction record for a large blue and white bowl in Xuande is a matter of the past two years, a difference of more than ten years! If it is now, if Guiguzi goes down the mountain, he might be able to shoot more than [-] million yuan!"

Yu Yao looked at Pu Jie and thought, besides, can bowls be the same as bowls?This dice bowl is far from it!

He went on to say, "The Xuande blue-and-white bowl that took more than 2 million yuan is made of Sumaliqing, and it is exquisite in everything from shape to craftsmanship to pictures. It is a top-quality piece. This one is a mixed blue Unexpectedly, the painter is also a low-grade Xuande official kiln, and there are gaps on the rim of the bowl and cracks in the center of the bowl, even if it is up for auction, it is definitely not of the same grade."

Lao Zhou nodded, "Well, but more than 200 million is estimated to be no problem. You also picked up a big leak!"

Huang Yongyi sighed, "It's too late! At that time, the two brothers only had the white jade no matter card and this big bowl. They were two good things. The big bowl, I drilled eyes! The white jade no matter card, It didn't catch up either."

Yu Yao took a sip of tea, but said slowly, "Boss Huang, don't regret that brand, it's not Hetian jade at all."

"What?" Huang Yongyi and Pu Jie were both taken aback.Because they were attacked first, neither of them looked carefully, but the sign looked like something that opened the door, it was white and oily, and it looked like a high-quality Hetian white jade.

"It's an old 'glass' from the Republic of China. It looks oily, but it's because of the patina, not the texture itself." Yu Yao explained.

Glass is an old saying in the antique industry, referring to feeders.To put it bluntly, it is a piece of colored glass.Of course, the craftsmanship of glass is more complicated than that of glass, and it is enough to make it look like real jade.For example, white glass is comparable to Hetian white jade, and green glass is comparable to jadeite.

When Huang Yongyi heard this, he couldn't help recalling it carefully, "It seems to be too white."

"That's right, have you ever seen such a white Hetian jade? It's so white, very oily, and has no impurities. How can you buy it for [-] yuan? But if it's an old jade, it's only a few thousand yuan. .” Yu Yao interfaced.

Those who often play Hetian jade know that as far as white jade is concerned, the whiter the material, the harder it is to have both density and oiliness.

Why is suet jade so precious?It is because it is not only white, but also has outstanding density and oiliness.In fact, sheep fat jade is not the whitest Hetian jade, it is slightly yellowish.

The whitest Hetian jade, in a broad sense, often comes from Russian and Qinghai materials, but the Russian materials are dry, while the Qinghai materials are watery; the real experts who play jade are all on the basis of density and oiliness, and further refine the jade. Pursue whiteness, or color.

Huang Yongyi frowned, "It's too late to meet each other!"

Yu Yao had just had a sip of tea and almost choked on it. It was a bit awkward for a half-old man to say this to himself.

"I said, how do you plan to sell this large Xuande blue and white bowl?" Lao Zhou turned back at this time.
