Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Doucai began in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and was the most highly regarded during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.The reason why it is called doucai is that in terms of technology, blue and white are used to outline the outline first, and then fired in the kiln; mineral pigments are then used for secondary painting to fill the gaps left by the blue and white, and then fired in the kiln again.

Blue and white are underglaze colors, while colored porcelain is overglaze colors. This is called dou.Blue and white can compete with five colors or pastel colors. The two colors can compete for uniqueness and beauty, and can also compete side by side for glory.

It's a pity that by the time of Hongzhi, Dou Cai stopped and no longer burned.It was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that the burning of doucai began again. Yongzheng and Qianlong made improvements in the firing technology and craftsmanship of doucai, which revived doucai again.

Chenghua doucai porcelain is extremely rare. I heard that it is not found in museums in Kyoto, so doucai porcelain from the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods are simply treasures.

Chen Yang looked at it from one side. Although he estimated in his mind that this was a highly imitated Doucai vase from the Qianlong period, after all, this was not his own shop and he couldn't talk nonsense.

Boss Song frowned. The bottle in front of him, both in terms of craftsmanship and appearance, looked like a doucai vase made in the Qianlong period, and there was a base stamp on the bottom of the bottle, but he always felt something was awkward about it, and said Not coming out.

Boss Song knew the value of the Qianlong Dou Cai. If he missed it and lost money, it would be a big loss.

The middle-aged man opposite looked at Boss Song, reached out and took the bottle directly, and said, "Come on, Boss Song, don't look at it. I'll go look at it with someone else. Say goodbye!"

"Wait a minute!" Boss Song reached out to stop the middle-aged man, "I'll think about it again."

"Okay," the middle-aged man put the bottle down again, "I'll give you another five minutes. I'm really in a hurry to use money, but I don't have time to spend it with you."

Yes, if it gets caught, you will be embarrassed; no, if it is true, you will still be embarrassed if word spreads!

Boss Song frowned, thought for a moment, and finally decided to take a gamble. Just when Boss Song was about to speak, Chen Yang spoke first.

"Boss Song, I was looking at the bottle and you couldn't think about it for a while," Chen Yang said with a smile, "Why don't you go outside to take a breath, clear your head, and take a look at my things?"

Boss Song raised his head and glanced at Chen Yang. He saw Chen Yang smiling and winking at him. Could it be that he saw it?

This is impossible. I have been looking at antiques for so many years, and now I can't judge it for a while. He can judge it without even getting started. It is absolutely impossible.

But thinking about the small-leaf red sandalwood that Chen Yang brought last time, he could tell the materials and age so accurately. He is also extraordinary. It's better to go out and listen to him.

Thinking of this, Boss Song stood up and clasped his fists at the middle-aged man and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go out and take a look and come back. This brother Chen is my regular customer."

The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Yang with the corner of his eyes and curled his lips, "Boss Song, we have agreed that after 5 minutes, I will take my things and leave. It's up to you."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" After Boss Song finished speaking, he walked directly out of the store.

"Brother Chen, do you see something wrong with that bottle?" After leaving the store, Boss Song pulled Chen Yang and asked in a low voice.

After hearing this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Boss Song, don't you see this? Why are you still hesitant?"

Boss Song was really surprised when he heard what Chen Yang said. He just felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't tell where the problem was. Chen Yang didn't even get started, but he could see the problem at a glance?

"Brother Chen, to be honest with you, I just feel like something is wrong, but I really can't tell what's wrong. Please give me some advice."

"Brother, you came out. How was the conversation?" Qin Haofeng saw Chen Yang and Boss Song coming out and walked up to them and asked.

Only then did Boss Song notice that there was a tricycle parked at the door with two huanghuali cabinets on it.

"Boss Chen, let's take a look at my cabinet first." Chen Yang smiled and pulled Boss Song to the tricycle, using the cabinet to block the view of the room.

Boss Song looked at the two huanghuali cabinets in front of him, especially the dirty wooden boards behind the cabinets, and even reached out to touch them.

"Covered in sackcloth and hung in ashes, Ming?"

Chen Yang nodded, "And both cabinets are single boards, which is rare."

Boss Song nodded. Just as he was about to take a closer look at the cabinet, he was stopped by Chen Yang.

"Boss Song, what did you see on that bottle just now?"

Boss Song frowned, "From the appearance of the bottle, you can tell Qianlong's style at a glance, and there is a pattern on the bottom of the bottle, which proves that it is indeed from the official kiln; the glaze is white with a hint of blue, and the colors of blue and white and doucai are also good. It’s very upright and there’s no problem anywhere.”

"But I just feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it."

After hearing what Boss Song said, Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, "Jincai!"

"Golden color?" Boss Song shook his head after hearing this. "Brother, you may not know that during the Qianlong period, the doucai not only had a wide range of styles and colorful colors, but also Qianlong added gold tracing to the doucai. This is the biggest feature of the Qianlong doucai, so it is said that there is gold color. Not surprising.”

After hearing this, Chen Yang chuckled and looked up at Boss Song, "Boss Song, what you said is all right. I also know that gold was added to the doucai during the Qianlong period, but did you notice the gold that came out of the bottle just now? "

"It's golden and extremely bright. Boss Song, if you think about it carefully, how can something that has been used for hundreds of years not show any wear and tear at all?"

"As you said, a doucai vase from an official kiln must be used in the palace, and it will be worn out with use. The gold painted vase on the bottle mouth just now has too little wear, and it doesn't look like it has been worn for a few years. A hundred years, is this normal?”

After listening to what Chen Yang said, Boss Song slapped himself hard on the forehead. Chen Yang was right!No wonder I felt something was wrong. It turned out to be the gold rim on the mouth of the bottle. If it was really from the Qianlong period, how could the gold on it be so lightly worn?

Boss Song suddenly felt enlightened and thanked Chen Yang with clasped fists, "Brother Chen, you really woke up the dreamer with your words. Now that I think about it, there is something wrong with Phnom Penh!"

Chen Yang said there was no need to be polite, and then said to Boss Song, "Boss Song, in our line of work, we would rather see one mistake than see hundreds of mistakes!"

A simple sentence gave Boss Song a feeling of enlightenment. He had been dealing with antiques for so many years, and today he was completely awakened by Chen Yang.

If you put an object in front of you and tell it a hundred things that are right, what's the use? People only need to point out one error and it will be all over.

"Teach me, teach me!" Boss Song thanked Chen Yang and asked Chen Yang to wait for a while, then turned and walked into the store.

When the middle-aged man saw Boss Song coming back, he stood up, picked up the bottle, and asked Boss Song, "Boss Song, what do you think? I really have to leave."

Boss Song smiled contemptuously, then waved his hand, "Dahu, see you off!"
