- Zhou Xia also smiled, "It's so bright! It's still as good as new after thousands of years. This kind of porcelain is good porcelain, isn't it?"
Seeing that he couldn¡¯t scare him, Zhao Xiangbo did nothing, ¡°You kid, you have a really good mentality.
"If it's fifty yuan, I'll naturally feel calmer. If it's half a million, I definitely won't be like that." Zhou Xia answered honestly.
Zhao Xiangbo laughed heartily. Through these few conversations, he could tell that Zhou Xia still had his own understanding of Ding kiln porcelain.
At the very least, Zhou Xia is quite sure that this piece of porcelain is an old item.
As for whether it is an official kiln or not, judging from what Zhao Xiangbo just observed, the possibility is still very high.
"However, further comprehensive identification is still needed. Those areas that are covered with dirty things need to be cleaned.
"It is true that what Zhao Xiangbo just said are all objective problems with this piece of porcelain, but this does not mean that such things must be imitations or works from private kilns.
Zhou Xia and Zhao Xiangbo chatted for a while and discussed in depth the identification techniques of Ding Kiln.
Xu Yaohui quickly completed the appraisal, then patted Zhou Xia on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Xia, why are you so lucky? You can pick up such good things."
Zhou Xia replied, "Uncle Xu thinks this Ding kiln porcelain is valuable?"
Xu Yaohui nodded, "I have passed through a lot of Ding kiln white-glazed porcelain, but porcelain like this one is really rare. It's just the scratches on the surface that make people anxious."
There was nothing Zhou Xia could do about it. In fact, he didn't look particularly carefully.
After Xu Yaohui completes the appraisal, Zhou Xia can feel something about this Ding kiln porcelain.
Different from the dark lights in the ghost market, the lights in the antique shop are much stronger. Therefore, the scratches on the outer wall of the bowl can be seen more clearly. These scratches have damaged the glaze on the surface. It was worn away, revealing the inner tire, which looked a little dry.
Such a situation is naturally unpleasant to look at.
When collecting antiques, the pursuit is "fine, rare and new". This piece of porcelain must be repaired.
But the damage was too serious, so we had to re-glaze the scratched surface and then re-fire it.
But this is not something Zhou Xia can accomplish at his current level. To say the least, even if he has the ability, he does not have the tools and conditions to respond. You still have to find a professional. Fortunately, Zhao Xiangbo and Xu Yaohui are well-connected, so it is not particularly difficult to find experts in porcelain restoration.
Putting aside these scratches, we have to ignore the scratches on the porcelain.
The performance of this piece of porcelain is quite good.
Ding kiln white glazed porcelain.
This white glazed porcelain bowl is not completely ivory white, but white with a hint of yellow.
Zhou Xia knew this very well, and neither Zhao Xiangbo nor Xu Yaohui raised any questions.
This is also because Ding kiln white glaze is pure ivory white in color, which is quite rare. Basically, there will be some color cast. Some are white and yellow, and some are white and green. The white color alone is not all ivory white, there are also milk white, lard white, etc. It can be said that there are all kinds of whites.
¡° Like the one in Zhou Xia¡¯s hand, it¡¯s white with yellow inside, which is normal.
Zhou Xia carefully identified it and naturally saw that, as Zhao Xiangbo said, there were no tear marks on the surface of this porcelain, which is common in Ding kiln.
This tear mark is actually a glaze dripping, which is a defect that is difficult to overcome during the Ding kiln firing process. However, it has become the main evidence for later generations to identify. But it is not feasible to just use this as the basis for identification.
This is also the reason why Zhou Xia didn't mind what Zhao Xiangbo said before that there were no tears.
Furthermore, Zhou Xia has passed the archaeological identification system, proving that this is indeed a Ding kiln work from the Northern Song Dynasty.
Now, he only needs to see its other qualities.
In addition to scratches, there are also some small marks on the surface of this Ding kiln white porcelain bowl. This is also an important feature of Ding kiln, generally called bamboo silk marks.
These bamboo silk marks are actually not caused by brushing the bamboo silk, but are left by the unstable rotation of the porcelain knife. Because the wooden carts used at that time were not precise enough, they could easily leave permanent traces of the times on the porcelain.
As Zhao Xiangbo mentioned before, this piece of porcelain looks brighter where the white glaze has not been scratched or obscured.
Zhou Xia doesn't care about this. On the contrary, this brighter color?? is the testimony of the fine products of Ding kiln.
Like the current imitation Ding kiln, because the white glaze on the surface is not dense enough, it cannot reach the level of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it will look bleaker.
The reason is that the surface of the authentic ancient Ding kiln has formed a dense glaze similar to glass, which looks watery and is not easily corroded. If you are not afraid of trouble, you can also use nitric acid for identification. If the surface is not corroded by nitric acid, it must be genuine.
Zhou Xia understands these appraisal skills, and the two old experts Zhao Xiangbo and Xu Yaohui will definitely not understand them.
Then, Zhou Xia looked at the bottom of the bowl and found that there was no official inscription on it.
This does not mean that as long as it is of high quality, it is good. According to research, the fine products from Ding kiln sent to the official kilns for use by the palace are not all engraved with official characters.
I touched the bottom with my hand and found that it was a little uneven. When I placed it on a flat table, I could still feel it. This bowl was not particularly neat, and even a little out of shape.
This is also one of the biggest features of genuine Ding kiln products. The level of craftsmen at that time was not as good as today's mechanical drawing. The specifications are neat and some errors are inevitable.
¡° Moreover, when Zhou Xia was buying it, he weighed the large bowl and felt that it was of moderate weight.
Compared with other Ding kiln imitations at the previous booth, the proportion is a little heavier.
After Zhou Xia looked at it carefully, he carefully analyzed the scratches on it that were embarrassing to the scenery, and asked Zhao Xiangbo, "Mr. Zhao, the expert you hired should be able to repair scratches like this without affecting the overall effect, right?" !¡±
Zhao Xiangbo smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although it's not easy, it's still possible. You just need to prepare the banknotes. By the way, after you repair this Ding Kiln porcelain, do you plan to keep it yourself or collect it? how?"
Zhou Xia replied, "I have no plans to take action yet. What's the matter? This is also a work from Ding Kiln, one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty."
"The appearance is not perfect." Zhao Xiangbo said deliberately.
"What I pursue is perfection among imperfections." Zhou Xia chuckled. No matter what, he planned to see the effect after repair.
With the current situation, he has no chance to collect it.
At the same time, Zhou Xia also knew that after thousands of years, there were still too few porcelains that could be completely preserved. Many porcelains have hidden scratches.
Whether it¡¯s porcelain sold at auctions or displayed in museums, many of them have been restored. It¡¯s just for the sake of beauty, better presentation, and pleasing to the eye.
Take this Ding kiln work as an example! If it looked like it does now, most people would feel sad to see it. After all, everyone wants to see beautiful things.
Seeing that Zhou Xia had finished the appraisal, Xu Yaohui recommended himself and asked Zhou Xia to hand the porcelain to him and clean it immediately. His reason is also very good, "I am not saying that after cleaning and repairing this piece of porcelain, it will definitely attract attention. Old Ding kiln porcelain without tear stains like this is still quite rare."
"I should do it myself." Zhou Xia replied.
Xu Yaohui smiled and said, "That's not necessary. This porcelain is relatively slippery. I don't know how many porcelains I have cleaned. I am very skilled at doing this. It will be fine soon."
"Then it's troublesome for Uncle Xu!" Zhou Xia was not polite to him.
"It's too unreasonable to tell me this! Then you can take a look in the store first, and I'll take it out after cleaning it." After Xu Yaohui finished speaking, he took the porcelain to the back hall to clean it. Many of them are also very dirty and you need to clean them yourself.
Zhao Xiangbo also laughed, "It's because Zhou Xia is lazy. I haven't completely cleaned the Western Zhou Dynasty crotch-dividing tripod I bought last time! I'm so lucky, and my life is so good."
Zhou Xia apologized and smiled.
"How about it? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment when you buy Ding kiln porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty at a low price?" Zhao Xiangbo asked him with a smile.
Zhou Xia said truthfully, "It's okay! The key is that there are a lot of Ding kiln porcelain on the market now, and the price is not high, so I don't feel too excited. If it is Ru kiln porcelain, I will definitely be very excited."
Zhao Xiangbo laughed loudly and said, "You really think that Ru kiln porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty is rarely seen, let alone owned. In my life, except for the Ru kiln porcelain I have seen at museum auctions, in private, it is I have only seen it twice. It is also the private collection of our Donghai collector. Unfortunately, that guy was very stingy and would never take it out after that. Moreover, his Ru kiln porcelain was also somewhat damaged and had to be repaired. But The feeling of the sky turning blue after the rain is indeed something I will never forget for the rest of my life.?. "
Zhou Xia was also a little fascinated when she heard it. Although she had never seen it before, she always felt that it was very powerful!
He also replied, "Ru kiln is indeed loved by people. If not for this, Song Huizong would not have abandoned Ding kiln and ordered people to bake Ru kiln."
Zhao Xiangbo said, "Speaking of this, I remembered it. Your piece of Ding kiln porcelain also has awn. It is said that Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty banned it from entering the palace because he didn't like the awn. You should know that this awn is What!"
"Isn't it the mark left on the bowl due to burning? This is explained in the literature." Zhou Xia was a little confused when he heard him ask this question, but he answered immediately.
After Zhao Xiangbo heard this, he immediately laughed, "When I heard your answer earlier, I thought you had a different opinion?"
"What's your answer? I didn't say there was a awn!" Zhou Xia became more and more curious.
Zhao Xiangbo reminded, "It's the brightness of your porcelain."
Zhou Xia was also sincerely humble and eager to learn. He immediately started thinking and asked, "Huh? What Mr. Zhao means is that the awn recorded in the literature is actually wrong? Isn't it a trace on the rim of the bowl? This awn should be Does it mean something else?"
Zhao Xiangbo said, "Actually, it's just my personal opinion, and it may not be correct."
Zhou Xia was also secretly guessing what he was really referring to. With Zhao Xiangbo's previous hints, Zhou Xia's guessing became much easier.
"Mr. Zhao also said that the word "mang" actually means light? That is because the porcelain of Ding kiln is too dazzling and bright. It is not gentle enough in connotation, so it is not liked by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. He specially ordered people to bake it. Ru kiln has a restrained and reserved beauty." Zhou Xia asked.
Zhao Xiangbo nodded and explained, "If this is due to the awn produced by overburning, there is no need to go to such trouble. Just ask the craftsman to come over and burn it with a stick! There is no need to make a fuss to the point of abandoning it. Again. Look at your porcelain, it has been so many years ago, it is still bright and dazzling, it was not more dazzling at the time. Song Huizong was a foolish emperor, but his achievements in art were the most unprecedented among all emperors. . His aesthetic concepts and tastes are naturally quite high. Not only was he a pioneer in painting and calligraphy, but even the color of the Ru kiln he ordered to be fired is still unforgettable. It is such a person. A smart person will definitely not make mistakes that ordinary people who know a little about art will not make. There is only one conclusion, and that is that he feels that Ding Kiln porcelain is indeed too new, too bright, too ostentatious, and does not meet his preferences. Moreover , a large number of Ding kiln specimens can also illustrate this issue. Just like your Ding kiln porcelain, it feels a little glassy and dazzling."
Hearing this, Zhou Xia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Mr. Zhao is right, I didn't think of this before. So, I believe it."
Zhao Xiangbo laughed and said, "It's just my personal understanding. You know, artists' tempers are quite weird. Otherwise, Song Huizong would not have perished."
Zhou Xia then sighed, putting aside those things, the porcelain from the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty is indeed the pinnacle in the history of ceramics.
This porcelain can indeed reflect the social style of that time, the environment of ups and downs, comfort and enjoyment, elegance, classical, and extravagant sounds, which became the mainstream of society at that time. As a result, they were beaten to a pulp by the nomads in the north.
After a while, Xu Yaohui took out the cleaned Ding kiln porcelain. The performance of the entire porcelain was indeed impressive. Even though they expected how it would behave after cleaning, Zhou Xia and Zhao Xiangbo still felt a little shocked.
As for Xu Yaohui, he was already shocked when he was cleaning the porcelain.
If the outside of the porcelain is wrapped, the inside of this Ding kiln white glaze bowl is simply perfect, radiant, fresh and dazzling.
Therefore, Zhou Xia is increasingly looking forward to the performance of this Ding kiln porcelain after restoration.
This task was naturally given to Zhao Xiangbo, who asked him to help find experts to repair it. He was happy to accept it, and he did not forget to say a few sour words, "This kid Zhou Xia is so lucky, fifty yuan." You can buy such good things.¡± - Didn't finish reading?
