Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhou Xia looked at the painting patterns on the plum vase and found it quite interesting.

    There is also a dragon on this plum vase, and the theme pattern is the green dragon.

    The scientific name is Yunlong Pattern, which is mainly composed of dragons and supplemented by clouds.

    This blue dragon is quite imposing and majestic. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is ferocious.  The dragon's eyes are wide-eyed, its claws are sharp, its body is strong, and its hair is flowing. People can't help but sigh, this is the magnanimity that a real dragon should have.

    Comparison can better show its goodness. Compared with the sluggish dragon that imitated Yongle's hand cup just now, it is like heaven and earth.

    Dragon cloud pattern, with dragons and clouds, and clouds as embellishments, dense and orderly, will not steal the spotlight too much, but also make the overall layout look harmonious and natural.  This is also quite particular.  As for this plum vase, Zhou Xia felt that his poor language was no longer enough to describe the beauty of it.

    The decorative pattern on the shin of the plum vase is a modified lotus petal pattern, which goes around the plum vase.

    This is also a common pattern in blue and white porcelain. Zhou Xia also carefully identified it and felt that it was quite elegant and dignified during the Xuande period.

    Next, let¡¯s talk about the mark. On the shoulder of the plum vase, there is a six-character inscription "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" written horizontally.  Generally speaking, if it is a four-character inscription "Xuande Year", it is mostly an early Xuande work.  The six-character style is a work from the middle to late Xuande period.

    Zhou Xia comes from an ordinary background, and his parents did not specifically train him when he was a child. Although his calligraphy is not satisfactory, he still has a good level of appreciation.

    This six-character regular script "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" has a powerful font and neat and beautiful brushwork. Each stroke is consistent with the standard Xuande style he has seen.

    Zhou Xia weighed the weight carefully again and felt that the weight was moderate.  Then tap lightly with your fingers on different parts, and the sound will be clear and sweet, unlike the loose imitations, which sound dull.

    ?Looking at the inside and outside of the mouth rim, as well as the thin parts of the glaze on the body, there is some tooth yellow color due to air oxidation.

    Zhou Xia has seen a lot of distressed porcelain. Generally, it is distressed. In order to prove that it is an old object, I like to make a fuss about it.  There is a big difference between the eyes formed by natural oxidation and those artificially aged, bleached, dyed and polished.  When Zhou Xia makes appraisals, one thing he often says is, "There are obvious traces of artificial aging."

    But for this plum vase, the colors are very natural and don¡¯t look like they were artificially made.

    Even the soles, which have the most yellow teeth, were polished very delicately and perfectly repaired during production.  Unlike many official kilns of other periods, the footwork was not paid much attention to and was done in a hasty and somewhat rough manner.

    In the end, Zhou Xia used enough light and observed carefully under a high-power magnifying glass.  It was found that the glaze surface was filled with large and small bubbles, and the bubbles were bright and dense in color. There were even small bubbles stacked on top of large bubbles, and occasionally large bubbles appeared in neat rows.  All these details are consistent with the characteristics of Xuande official kiln porcelain in the Ming Dynasty.

    From this, Zhou Xia can roughly conclude that all the details of this plum vase are consistent with the Xuande blue and white, and it should be an authentic product from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the box, this plum vase is in pretty good condition and has not been repaired or damaged. The only regret is probably the oxidized areas.

    Zhou Xia was also thinking secretly in her heart, if this was really a genuine Xuande blue and white product, its value would be quite high, and she didn¡¯t know what price Xu Yaohui negotiated with the other party.

    In the end, Zhou Xia naturally still wanted the system to make an appraisal.

    Because he has not seen many genuine Xuande porcelains, there may be some omissions if he uses such a conventional method to conduct appraisals.

    If the system can accurately identify it, it can ensure that it is foolproof.

    The identification result given by the system came out quickly, "This work was created in 1433 AD!"

    It was the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

    The conversion was completed immediately, and Zhou Xia couldn't hide her excitement. Really, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a rare treasure that has been rare in thirty years, and it definitely deserves the word "heavy weapon".

    It is not easy for ordinary people to take a look at it, let alone to hold it in their hands and play with it carefully, so they can appreciate it with confidence.

    This is a genuine product. It is very likely that after seeing this, you will not have many opportunities to see it again in the future.

    Zhou Xia also had to seize the opportunity to carefully review the various characteristics of the blue and white porcelain of the Xuande period and summarize it. In the future, when identifying Xuande porcelain, even without using the system, he can still be inseparable.  .

    This is the rarest learning opportunity. Zhou Xia temporarily forgot to report the identification results to Xu Zhendong and the others. He only savored it over and over again, trying hard to remember it.Please note every detail in the document for future reference.

    Xu Zhendong came back from checking the information and saw that he was still doing the appraisal carefully, so he didn't bother him.  But he also had doubts in his heart, because Zhou Xia's appraisal took much longer than before.

    Xu Yaohui was very anxious, but he did not dare to rush him forward. He could only wait for Zhou Xia to complete the appraisal.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Because judging from the current situation, it is not optimistic.

    Zhou Xia put down the plum vase, and Liu Yuqing asked him with a smile, "Zhou Xia, you have been focusing on the appraisal for so long, but have you come to the final conclusion?"

    Zhou Xia then realized that he had been studying for a long time, causing them to wait around. He didn't even notice what they were doing or discussing.  Just now, in his heart and eyes, there was only this Xuande plum vase with cloud and dragon pattern.

    "I'm sorry, my research on blue and white porcelain is not very deep. I just saw this plum vase which is quite rare. I was fascinated without realizing it. I forgot about the time and gained some insights. Master Xu, Manager Liu,  Uncle Xu, I think it¡¯s time for you to come to a conclusion! Why don¡¯t I listen to your opinions first, lest I make a mistake and be embarrassed." Zhou Xia replied hurriedly.

    Liu Yuqing stopped smiling, and there was a trace of hesitation on her delicate and pretty porcelain face, "We are not outsiders, so there is no question of shame or shame. We don't all have the same opinions now, but from my point of view, it's really more  More, but I called the old man at home to consult, and he told me to be more cautious and observe carefully. I also asked several other elders for advice, but they couldn't reach a perfect consensus."

    Xu Yaohui's attitude is also very serious, "I also believe it is true, but I also feel that this plum vase seems to be too perfect, which makes me feel weak and unsure."

    Xu Zhendong glanced at him and expressed his opinion, "I just looked at it carefully. Although this plum vase is generally consistent with the characteristics of Xuande blue and white porcelain, I still think there are a few specific details.  Where there is doubt.¡±

    Zhou Xia immediately said, "Master Xu, you might as well come and listen and let's discuss it."

    Xu Zhendong said, "There are many shapes of Xuande blue and white, and there are also shapes like this plum vase. More than ten years ago, I saw a similar shape of plum vase at the special exhibition of Xuande porcelain held at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, but the shape of the plum vase  The decorative patterns are not the same, and the plum vase is not as big as this one, and its uses are different. Moreover, have you noticed that there is a slight difference in the color of the porcelain at the top of the plum vase.  "

    Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia said in unison that no, Xu Zhendong asked them to see it, and said, "I hope it's not because of my old eyesight."

    After careful observation, Zhou Xia and others found that, as Xu Zhendong said, there were indeed some very subtle color differences between the mouth of the plum vase and the bottom, almost on the line. If Xu Zhendong hadn't specifically mentioned it,  , I really can¡¯t tell.

    Liu Yuqing said, "Master Xu's observation is really meticulous. We juniors are so embarrassed!"

    Xu Yaohui also flattered Xu Zhendong, which in turn caused him to give him a cold look.

    Zhou Xia looked at it carefully and tried to figure out what was going on and what caused it.

    "In addition, I also have some doubts about this dragon with the cloud dragon pattern." Xu Zhendong continued.

    Xu Yaohui immediately replied, "I think this dragon is very good. It is full of life and spirit, and its movements and postures all have the characteristics of the Xuande era."

    Xu Zhendong said loudly, "That's because you haven't seen it. I remember I have seen a Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern celestial sphere vase before. If I remember correctly, the momentum of the dragon on it and the painting of the dragon's claws are similar to  There are some differences between these dragons. This feeling is very strange, I think, Xuande's reign was not long, so the same dragon cloud pattern should not have such a big difference."

    Xu Zhendong said this, and Xu Yaohui and Zhou Xia were unable to argue because they had never seen the Xuande blue and white cloud and dragon pattern celestial sphere vase, so they had no say in it.

    "Given how well this plum vase is preserved, there shouldn't be problems in some places. I think it's more like it was made deliberately to prove that it is an old object. If it is a high-quality imitation, these can also be made.  Come out, and it's exactly the same as the real thing." Xu Zhendong had a lot of doubts.

    Zhou Xia thinks that Xu Zhendong has entered into a situation that he guessed. If you feel that something is fake first, then you will feel that it is fake in many places.  Partially speaking, based on Xu Zhendong¡¯s experience, it is understandable to raise these questions.

    Hearing what Xu Zhendong said, Lian ZhiLiu Yuqing couldn't help but feel a little shaken when she saw the truth, because several old experts she consulted had more or less doubts.

    Although Xu Yaohui still insisted that it was true, his attitude was no longer as firm as before.

    Generally speaking, experts see things differently from ordinary players. As long as there is doubt about something that is false, it can basically be concluded as false.  When ordinary collectors get an item, they try their best to find advantages from everywhere.

    If there is no particularly convincing evidence at this time, Xu Yaohui may have to choose to give up this rare Xuande blue and white plum vase.

    At this time, everyone is turning their attention to Zhou Xia, but he has not yet expressed his opinion. Xu Yaohui especially hopes to hear his final opinion. If he can produce strong evidence, it will be final.
