"Hey, don't provoke me!" Mr. Li said slowly: "In my opinion, blue and white is the most important variety in the history of porcelain. Now the blue and white that are more sought after in the market mainly include Yuan blue and white, and Yongxuan blue and white. If there is money, then there will be fine official kilns of the Qing Dynasty and the Three Dynasties."

Mr. Li still said "nonsense" first, then changed the subject, and said: "Let's talk about this big bowl, with powdery white glaze applied on the lip and mouth, full and round, with a feeling of protruding edges, and brown. Eyes, pinholes, these are the characteristics of late Kangxi porcelain."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shaodong and others were very surprised. Could it be that Wu Chen could even see it?Kong Si secretly poked Wu Chen in the side, and asked, biting his ear, when did you become so powerful, kid!

Wu Chen gave him a shy smile. The period that Mr. Li mentioned is roughly close to his judgment. It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy. It is absolutely impossible for him to use these characteristics to determine the generation. If you can't do it, you will listen more humbly now.

When Mr. Liu saw that Mr. Li took a breath, he took over the topic and said slowly: "Yes, Kangxi blue and white materials include Zhejiang materials and Yunnan pearl materials. The picture of this bowl is rich in layers. It is clear and three-dimensional. The layout, color setting, and line drawing of the painting are all exquisite and highly skilled. The layout is full and fills the picture without leaving blank space. This is the characteristic of blue and white porcelain paintings in the late Kangxi period. Taken together, this big bowl should be A masterpiece of late Kangxi blue and white porcelain."

"You always said that this is an imitation of Xuande money in the late Kangxi period?" Xu Shaodong asked cautiously. In fact, the two old men have already made their words very clear.He asked this question to further confirm that he is probably the only one who has the guts, and the big bowl belongs to him, so it is reasonable to ask this question.

"Hehe, I know you have an opinion. Among other things, this blue and white double-circle style is very self-explanatory." Liu Lao said with a smile.

"Look, the linear 'flint red' at the bottom of this bowl!" Mr. Li took a few sips of tea before taking over the topic.

Wu Chen also knows the "flint red" he mentioned. Flint red is commonly known as kiln red and fire red. At the same time, the iron contained in the exposed tire is precipitated and adsorbed on the bottom or foot of the carcass to form a layer of "kiln red" with different depths and distributions.

This kind of erythema is usually ocher red or black red spots, which are higher than the surface of the carcass, and some ocher red flakes are also called fire red.

It’s just that many porcelains seem to have this, so how can it be used as a standard for dating?Wu Chen quickly recalled what he had learned, but it was blank.

"This is a very important feature." Mr. Li continued. It is rare for him to be very excited today. "The bottom of Yuan blue and white porcelain not only has flint red, but also has a paste rice bottom. This paste rice bottom is different from flint red. , because during firing, the utensils are placed on the kiln bed containing sand grains, because the kiln bed is covered with sand grains. These sand grains with more iron content are evenly adhered to the bottom of the utensil while being oxidized at high temperature, thus forming So the rice paste is due to the production process and external factors, not the carcass itself, and it is qualitatively different from the flint red."

"Take it easy, don't get too excited!" Tian Lao refilled a cup of tea for him, and comforted him with a smile. This old Li has the hottest temper, and the more he talks, the more excited he becomes.

"Haha, it's not that you don't know my temper, so I don't spit it out!" Mr. Li took a sip of tea and continued to say loudly: "Ming Dynasty porcelains often see flints on the exposed tires along the bottom feet and the glaze joints of the ring feet and inner tires. The red color is produced because of the high iron content in the tire, which is heated and oxidized. This kind of flint red is "grown" from the tire, highlighting the combination of the tread and the carcass, which is tight and natural."

"In Shunzhi and Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, although flint red was still there, it was rare, especially in the middle and late Kangxi period. Due to the fine selection of materials, white and fine carcass, and pure fetal quality, there is no flint red at the exposed body of porcelain. It can be seen that the appearance of flint red is related to the iron content of the tire material. The porcelain tire materials of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty were fine and rarely had flint red. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the porcelain tire materials were not washed well, but there would be flint red instead.”

"That's not right, doesn't this bowl obviously have flint red? Why is it from the Kangxi period instead?" Kong Si asked with a puzzled face, and the same doubt existed in the eyes of several young people.

"Hehe, don't worry, that's the point." Mr. Li chuckled and said, "In order to imitate Ming Dynasty porcelain, works of Kangxi and after Kangxi often used methods such as "earth coating" or artificial brushing of mud to make similar flint red. This kind of "flint red" is unnatural. After artificial processing, the bottom feet are put into the kiln, and after high-temperature firing, only linear marks are left, mostly in the shape of contours.

There is also such a relatively successful linear "flint red" in the current imitation works, which is more confusing.The footprint on the bottom of this bowl is neither kiln red nor rice paste. The "flint red" bottom foot has a linear outline, the color is yellowish and not prominent, and the tread is unnatural and fake.

This large blue and white bowl has a fake entrustment of "Ming Dynasty Xuande Year System", and the intention of imitating Ming Dynasty porcelain is obvious.Combined with the various characteristics and painting style just now, it can be determined that it is a fine work in the late Kangxi period, and its appearance is intact, not bad. "

Even if Mr. Li has made a conclusion for this big name, the other old men have no doubts. Although Mr. Li is an authority on porcelain, Mr. Tian and Mr. Liu are also very accomplished in this area, but Mr. Tian is the master, Mr. Liu With the most prestige among the crowd, he naturally became the host, so he didn't talk much easily.

Xu Shaodong was relieved when he heard that, he was very confident about this big name.After being teased by Wu Chen, he was in a mood of ups and downs, and now he finally came to a conclusion. Kangxi's imitation of Yongxuan's blue and white boutique was also expensive. This omission was not small after all, but he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. , My own way is still shallow.

"Wood, okay!" Kong Size looked at Wu Chen with admiration, gave Wu Chen a thumbs-up, and praised without hesitation. This stick seems to have a natural intuition for this type of object, and the same is true for the general jar last time.

Wu Chen blushed. In terms of real ability, he was not as good as Kong Si and Xu Shaodong. At least today, Huo Shihong said that he has gained a lot of insight!

He smirked a little guilty, and made up his mind that he still wanted to learn from a famous teacher.

"I don't know where brother Wu studied under? He's young, he's accomplished a lot! Let's make friends." Bai He stretched out her hand to Wu Chen with a smile on her face.

Wu Chen only felt an indescribable fragrance blowing towards his face. When he first arrived, he didn't look at her carefully. Looking at her now, he found that Bai He was very beautiful, with a delicate face wearing black-rimmed glasses, which seemed very intellectual. She has a graceful figure, and her slender high-heeled feet are swaying like willow branches.
