I didn't expect to encounter a small Yingqing bowl made by Tang Ying today. It was an unexpected surprise. Just when Chu Chen was about to take out a magnifying glass to take a closer look, the old lady asked impatiently: "Young man, do you want to buy this bowl? This bowl is really passed down from my ancestors. If it hadn't been for my family, No matter what happens, I won't think of selling it." Seeing the old lady's anxious look, Chu Chen used his power to verify the authenticity of the bowl, and then said, "I don't know how much you can prepare for this bowl. "Sell it for money?" The old lady hesitated for a while and said, "This is the dowry when I got married. My parents said it was a treasure passed down from my ancestors. How about you give me 50,000 yuan?" At the end of the sentence, , the old lady's voice became softer and softer. At this time, she felt a little embarrassed. She also felt that it was inappropriate to charge 50,000 yuan for such a small bowl, but there was really nothing the family could do, so I could only bite the bullet and say it. If it were someone else, Chu Chen would have to pay back the price, but facing the helpless old lady in front of him, he couldn't be so cruel, and the price of 50,000 yuan was too much for the true value of this bowl. , it was already a big mistake, so Chu Chen agreed without hesitation. "Okay, old lady, let's go to the bank to transfer the money now!" "Okay! Okay!" Seeing Chu Chen agree, the old lady was really ecstatic, and kept chanting "Buddha bless you" in her heart. After that, the group of people walked to the bank before leaving. Chu Chen also saw the young clerk in the antique shop just now giving Chu Chen and the others a joking look, probably in his opinion. Chu Chen is a complete fool and would actually spend 50,000 yuan to buy a modern imitation. After transferring the account, at the door of the bank, Mrs. Tang hurriedly said goodbye and left. After inquiring just now, Chu Chen also found out that the old lady's surname was Tang. He heard that her ancestral home was in the Northeast. Chu Chen guessed This old lady Tang. It is really possible that he is a descendant of Tang Ying. After the old lady left, Chu Yulan couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, what is this bowl?" Chu Chen smiled and said: "This thing is called Yingqing, also called Yingqing porcelain. Its predecessor is blue and white porcelain. , known as "white and blue" in the antique industry, is a kind of porcelain originally created in Jingdezhen in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is characterized by its elegant bluish-white glaze, clear and clean glaze, firm and greasy white texture, and warm and jade-like color. Therefore, it is known as "fake jade" in history. "Li Qingzhao of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote a sentence about "jade pillow screen window" in "Drunken Flower Yin". Jade pillow refers to blue and white porcelain pillows. Some of the blue and white porcelain products of the Yuan Dynasty are still printed. There are inscriptions of "Jade from Kunshan" and "Jade from Kungang". Yingqing was mass-produced in the Southern Song Dynasty and was popular in the market. "Most of the Yingqing porcelain at that time was thin. The patterns are made of transparent flying phoenixes and other patterns. These patterns are carved on the body with transparent celadon and fired at high temperature. " "Xiao Chen, that is the small bowl in the box. "Yingqing from the Song Dynasty?" Li Guodong asked curiously. "That's not true." Chu Chen said with a smile: "This bowl is from the Qing Dynasty. But the maker is not simple. He is Tang Ying, the famous pottery supervisor in the Qing Dynasty." "Xiao Chen. You mean that the bowl inside the box is from the Tang Dynasty. Something made in England?" As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, everyone heard someone beside him interrupt. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Uncle Wu and Chen Dewang who had not seen each other for a long time. Chu Chen quickly greeted them and asked, "Uncle Wu, Mr. Chen, why are you two here?" ?" Uncle Wu smiled and said: "I came to see Lao Chen for something, Xiaochen, did you find something good again?" Before Chu Chen could answer, Chen Dewang said, "This is not the place for us to talk. Let's talk about it in my shop first. " "Okay! " The group came to Chen Dewang's antique shop. After entering, Chen Dewang poured tea for everyone, and then went straight to the topic. Chu Chen took out the small bowl of Yingqing from the box and put it on the table. "Shadow celadon!" Uncle Wu and Chen Dewang saw the small celadon bowl on the table and were immediately attracted by it. After a while, Uncle Wu smiled and said: "Old Chen, you come first!" "Haha, then I will be disrespectful!" After Chen Dewang nodded, he carefully took the bowl into his hand and looked at it carefully. Not a single one of the decorations, decorations and markings was spared. Chu Chen took the opportunity to tell Uncle Wu how he bought the small Yingqing bowl. "This thing is indeed real!" Chen Dewang put down the small bowl and magnifying glass in his hand and praised: "This bowl has a round shape, a delicate texture, a smooth glaze, and a natural overall appearance.It is elegant and has no flaws. It is a very rare fine shadow celadon carefully fired by Tang Ying. Xiaochen, you are so lucky! " After Uncle Wu looked at it carefully, he said with emotion: "That man is really ignorant of gold and jade. Such a beautiful small shadow green bowl was actually regarded as a modern imitation by him. "Chu Chen smiled naively and said: "I think that person definitely doesn't know who the "potter" is, and I estimate that he identified it based on the characteristics of the shadow celadon of the Song Dynasty, and this bowl has no flaws at all, probably because of this , he thought this bowl was a modern imitation. " There are several key points when identifying shadow celadon from the Song Dynasty. The first thing to consider is that the feel and look of the enamel of shadow celadon is like blue and white jade. If it is dry and dull, the glaze is rough, or on the contrary, it is too bright and smooth. You also need to be cautious about the body color of shadow celadon, which is white and delicate, and is washed finely. Some objects are so fine that they are almost out of the body, but unevenness often occurs during the process of making and glazing. Depending on the thickness, the glaze may flow, so be careful if the texture is too fine and white, like powder, and the exposed surface and glaze are smooth and flawless. This small bowl looks clean and smooth, and the glaze is smooth and flawless. The quality is also very fine, and the exposed body and glaze are smooth and flawless. It is probably because of this that the person before thought that this small bowl was an imitation. However, these characteristics are very different for the ceramic works from the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. It¡¯s all normal. ¡°It should be like this. "Uncle Wu and Chen Dewang laughed and shook their heads. If that person knew who the "Tao Ren" was in the future, he would probably regret it to death. "Then how much is this small bowl worth? "Wen Yuting asked curiously. Uncle Wu thought for a moment and said, "Although there are many Tang Ying's things that have been handed down, I have never seen a few of Ying Qing's works, and they are still such fine works. Then The significance is even more extraordinary. I estimate that the price of this bowl should be around 1.5 million. " "Wow, it's so expensive! "Li Guodong and the others couldn't help but be shocked by the price. They didn't expect that such a bowl could be worth 1.5 million, which is really incredible. "Of course. " Chen Dewang said: "Not to mention the exquisiteness of this shadow celadon, let's talk about Tang Ying, who occupies an important place in the history of ceramics in our country. When he first became the pottery supervisor, he was already over 50 years old and knew nothing about ceramic production, so he lived, ate, and worked together with the kiln workers of the imperial kiln factory for three years, and mastered all aspects of ceramic production. , and even mastered the changing laws of materials and heat used in ceramic production. " "During the 28 years that Tang Ying supervised pottery, he made many innovations. During the Yongzheng period, he not only introduced new ones in fighting colors, but also successfully innovated kiln glazes under his leadership. During the Qianlong period, his achievements were countless. A large vase with various glazes called "Mother of Porcelain" in the Palace Museum was specially made by Tang Ying to cater to the "elegance" of Emperor Qianlong. In addition, there are innovative works such as pink green glaze Jiaotai bottle. " Speaking of this, Chen Dewang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Do you think the Yingqing works carefully produced by such a person are not valuable? If you ask me, Lao Wu's valuation is still conservative. If it goes to auction, I estimate it can easily reach two million. Xiaochen, you have made a big mistake! " Chu Chen said modestly: "This is all good luck. If I were your second brother just now, I would definitely be able to see the value of this small bowl at a glance. " Chen Dewang said with a smile: "You don't have to be humble, luck is also a kind of strength. Well, Xiaochen, I wonder what you are going to do with this bowl? " "Old Chen, don't even think about this bowl. Uncle Wu said first: "Such a rare thing must not be for sale, Xiao Chen, right?" " Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I really have no intention of transferring this Ying Qing Bowl. " Chen Dewang asked unwillingly: "Xiao Chen, don't you think about it again? " Seeing that Chu Chen still firmly refused, he glanced at Xiaowan reluctantly, and then said: "Okay, but if you have the idea of ????transferring in the future, please inform me as soon as possible! " Although he definitely would not transfer it, Chu Chen still nodded and said, "Okay, I will notify you then." " After everyone drank tea for a while, Chen Dewang asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, I heard from your Uncle Wu, are you ready to open your own store? " Chu Chen replied: "Yes, I would like to ask Mr. Chen to support me when the time comes! Chen Dewang smiled and said: "That's no problem. As long as it's something I can do, you can come to me. By the way, have you decided on your store?" " "Then I would like to thank you first. Chu Chen said: "?The store has been decided, but the original lease will not expire until the end of October, so it will take some time to decide. " "Xiao Chen, have you decided on your store? "Uncle Wu asked a little strangely. "Yes, it is where the Jiayi Restaurant is now. Chu Chen explained: "My friend called me last night to inform me of the news. I am anxious to tell you if it hasn't come yet." "
