Chapter 569 The First Leak

Du Yu laughed, and Sun Zilong laughed too. At this moment, even Zhang Kexin, Ah Da, Ah Er, all laughed too.

Ye Feng didn't understand why he looked at the smiling faces of the group of people and scratched his head. Some monks Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

"Yezi, your history was taught by an English teacher, right?" After a while, the group of people stopped whispering, and Du Yu whispered.

Ye Feng scratched his head in embarrassment. To be honest, he really didn't know much about the history of China except for a few famous dynasties and that period of humiliation. It was only after he came into contact with antiques recently that It is only then that I have a certain understanding of the history of other eras, but this is limited to the antiques of this era, and I don't know anything about the others.

"Forget it, you don't need to ask and think about it." Du Yu continued with a smile: "How many years of history does the country of Mi have in total? From the founding of the country of Mi to the present, it has only experienced more than 200 years of history. Do you have your own ancient porcelain..."

Ye Feng suddenly realized and nodded. Du Yu is right. The history of the United States is only two hundred years since the founding of the country. How could it have its own ancient porcelain!

No more talking, Ye Feng walked straight towards the Qianlong famille rose porcelain.

"Why, what did you find?" Du Yu said excitedly.

Although the others did not speak at this time, the expressions on their faces were enough to explain everything.

I have been in contact with Ye Feng for a long time, and the group has long been accustomed to Ye Feng's behavior of betting on stones and appraising treasures. According to the past situation, after such a short period of time, all the collections in this ceramic collection shop, Ye Feng They should have been authenticated.

"Well, there's a good thing, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a Qianlong famille rose porcelain vase." Ye Feng said with a smile.

"What, Qianlong pastel porcelain vase?" Du Yu opened his mouth wide in shock.

The others had the same expression at this time.

They are all very clear about the value of the Qianlong pastel porcelain vase, which is second only to the JDZ Yuan blue and white porcelain, and is as famous as the five famous kilns.

During the Qianlong period, it was the heyday of porcelain production in the Qing Dynasty. Starting from Qianlong, famille rose almost completely replaced the status of five colors in the field of colored porcelain.Although the quality of famille rose at this time was not as beautiful and elegant as that of the Yongzheng period, the decoration process gradually became more complicated, and the shapes were rich and varied, especially for the various types of utensils used for display, such as revolving neck bottles, revolving heart bottles, and celestial balls. Bottles, flat bottles, and polygonal bottles are very popular.

These intricately crafted pastel porcelain vases and utensils with rich and bright colors are outstanding representatives of Qianlong colored porcelain products. At the same time, the development of decoration technology makes it possible to successfully fire bionic porcelain. Distinct color, tone and texture of stone, wood and various animals and plants can be accurately and meticulously expressed.

There are not many pastel porcelain handed down from Qianlong official kiln in Qing Dynasty. It combines the porcelain making techniques of Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, further develops the porcelain of this dynasty, and thus creates many novel pastel porcelains.

First of all, there have been new developments in the use of color and the technology of applying color. In addition to pastel painting, paint color, gold color or black color is often added, or mixed with blue and white colors, and fighting colors are applied together. Qianlong famille rose, which is made by applying multiple colors on one utensil or using various painting techniques at the same time, can be said to be a combination of various ceramic techniques, fully reflecting the exquisite craftsmanship of Qianlong Dynasty porcelain.

Secondly, in the decoration method, there are "consecrated" pastels of various colors, such as red, yellow, blue, green, purple and various colored glazes, which can reach more than ten kinds. For colorful twig flowers, some use the enamel rolling process to carve fine phoenix tail patterns with a sharper metal tool on the colored ground, which is the so-called "icing on the cake". This kind of color ground pastel is delicate and complicated, which is unprecedented, and it is also the largest number among Qianlong pastels.

Qianlong pastels made use of the moist and soft texture of pastels to imitate various handicrafts with various powdered color materials, such as lacquerware, bronze ware, enamel, marble, and imitate animals, plants, melons and fruits, etc.It can accurately express the color and texture of the imitated object, which can be described as lifelike.

Qianlong famille rose has a unique feature, that is, the mouth and bottom of the utensils are covered with turquoise green glaze.The turquoise glaze is very light and smooth, and the glaze surface is like porridge skin. Because it is a low-temperature colored glaze, the glaze surface often has small patterns.This feature first appeared in the Qianlong period and was used until the late Qing Dynasty.

The main pattern is tangle of flowers, and the image is a transformation of the flowers and leaves of the traditional peony, baoxiang or lotus, just like western flowers.There are also Western characters in the decoration.At the same time, twining flowers are often used as the main body, and dragons, phoenixes, bats or tassels, eight auspicious signs, etc. are added respectively to form various patterns of auspiciousness, auspiciousness, good intentions and prolonging the year.

Qianlong famille roses kept improving in terms of modeling technology. Whether it is a large display porcelain with a height of more than one meter, or a finger puller and snuff bottle as small as a few centimeters, the shape is very regular and neat, and it is rarely pinched or crooked.What's more worth mentioning is that the novelty and exquisite carved porcelain was newly created in the Qianlong period, and various carved bottles include revolving neck bottles, revolving heart bottles, Jiaotai bottles, set bottles, crown stands and various kinds of revolving foot bowls, etc. It is in various poses and with different expressions, which is unmatched by other eras.

All these factors have directly contributed to the preciousness of the pastel porcelain vases of the official kilns in the Qianlong period, which can be compared to the five famous kilns.

"Don't stand still, be careful not to be spotted by the store." Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Ye Feng hurriedly whispered.

Hearing the words, the other group came back to their senses and hurriedly put away their shocked expressions, but they were still very shocked in their hearts.

Ye Feng continued to walk forward, but deliberately bypassed the Qianlong pastel porcelain vase of the Qing Dynasty official kiln, and continued to walk forward. After asking about several pieces of porcelain, he turned back and walked towards the Qing Dynasty official kiln. Qianlong famille rose vase from kiln.

"Boss, how do you sell this porcelain bottle?" Ye Feng asked.

This Qianlong powder enamel vase of the Qing Dynasty official kiln is a picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. It is a very famous story in the myths of Chinese history and is often used in various porcelain and painting products.

The owner of the antique shop, who obviously couldn't understand Chinese, began to gesticulate at Ye Feng.

At this time, Du Yu stepped forward and talked with the owner of the store in fluent English.

Ye Feng was stunned: "Brother Du, I didn't expect you to speak English well?"

"Naturally, I forgot to tell you. My buddy got a full score in the BEC exam." Du Yu said with a proud face: "Do you know what BEC is? It is the most difficult exam in the English exam. , Advanced Business English."

Ye Feng smiled and didn't speak. To be honest, if Du Yu didn't say what BEC is now, he wouldn't know what it is. Learn a few more foreign languages, so that when you go abroad to communicate in the future, it will be much more convenient.

Anyway, with his photographic memory, this is nothing more than a trivial matter.

With Du Yu acting as an interpreter, the conversation between Ye Feng and the owner of the antique shop became much smoother, and soon the two began to bargain.

During the fierce bargaining, Ye Feng couldn't help but secretly elated. He didn't expect that the luck in coming to the Las Vegas Antique Exchange Center this time would be very good. As soon as he arrived at the first store, he was about to pick up the first big leak.

From the asking price of the boss, he could tell that the other party did not recognize that it was a Qianlong famille rose vase from the Qing official kiln, which was comparable to the five famous kilns in China, but just regarded it as a general Qing Qianlong porcelain vase.

After some intense bargaining, the Qianlong famille rose vase from the Qing Dynasty official kiln was finally sold at a price of [-] meters in gold.

After everything was settled, Ye Feng directly swiped the card to transfer the money. After the transaction was completed, he left cheerfully with this Qianlong pastel vase from Qingguan Kiln.

"Expert in picking up leaks." At this moment, in the hearts of Du Yu and Sun Zilong, this title popped up again.

It seems that for more than half a year, when he was with Ye Feng, every time he went to a place where there was an antique trade, Ye Feng could always pick up some leaks, and all of them were big leaks.

"Yezi, your luck in picking up leaks is really against the sky, [-] meters of gold, but at the price of [-] meters of gold, you actually got a pastel porcelain vase from the official kiln of the Qianlong period. What a god! Big leak." After leaving the antique shop, Du Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's right. An official kiln famille rose porcelain vase from the Qianlong period is worth several million dollars, and the price of all high-quality goods is at least tens of millions." Sun Zilong followed up: "For antiques, although I I don’t know much about it, but I still have a certain understanding of the pastel porcelain vases of the Qianlong period. The pastel porcelain vases of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea are the rarest and most rare among the pastel porcelain vases fired by official kilns during the Qianlong period. Every piece of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea The pastel porcelain vases of the Qianlong official kiln are all exquisite products. I remember that at the Sotheby's auction in Xingang, there was a pastel porcelain vase of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea from the Qianlong official kiln. The size of the pastel porcelain vase was only one-third of this It looks like two, but excluding the sky-high price of 1000 and 2000 million, based on the size of this porcelain vase, the value is very likely to be close to 2000 million, or even exceed [-] million."

The value of porcelain, under normal circumstances, generally the larger the porcelain, the higher the value. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this large one. If it reaches a certain level, the value will not only not increase, but will decrease.

"13 meters of gold, equivalent to Huaxia coins, is only about [-]. The value of this Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea pastel porcelain vase from the Qianlong official kiln has at least doubled by more than a hundred times." Sun Zilong continued with emotion.
