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

In the entire domestic ceramics industry, when it comes to Ming Dynasty ceramics, the most eye-catching ones are: blue and white, colored porcelain. As for white porcelain, it seems that it only briefly showed its presence in the early and late Ming Dynasty. Yongle Tianbai in the early Ming Dynasty and Dehua White in the late Ming Dynasty are typical representatives of white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. As for Ming Dynasty white porcelain from other times? Sorry, it was overshadowed by other categories of porcelain at the same time.

So how scarce is the blank period white porcelain? (The blank period white porcelain here refers to the white porcelain fired in Jingdezhen.) It is no exaggeration to say that the currently known white porcelain that can be clearly judged to be the blank period is even less than the blue and white porcelain. And almost all of them come from tombs.

In 1953, a white-glazed plum vase with a lid was unearthed from Jinying's tomb in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and was dated to the seventh year of Jingtai. In 1958, the tomb of Zhu Quan, the 1974th son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was discovered, and was dated to the 89th year of Zhengtai. Among them, six white-glazed lidded jars were unearthed; in 1987, 1990 pieces of porcelain were discovered in the tomb of Wangxi's family in Pingwu, Sichuan, dating from Xuande to Hongzhi, mainly concentrated in Tianshun. Among them were unearthed a jar with a white glaze lid, two square bottles with white glaze, and two figure sculptures, all dated to the eighth year of Tianshun. At the same time, this family tomb is the one with the most porcelain from the Three Dynasties unearthed so far; in [-], a white-glazed plum vase was unearthed from the tomb of the eunuch Hua Zhong in Nanjing, Jiangsu, with the word "Neifu" written on it, dated to the seventh year of Tianshun; in [-], a white-glazed plum vase was unearthed from the tomb of the eunuch Hua Zhong in Nanjing, Jiangsu A Ming Dynasty tomb was excavated in Yangyang (Poyang), dated to the second year of Tianshun, and a white-glazed jar was unearthed.

There are only a few pieces of white porcelain from the blank period in the country. If someone comes up with another white porcelain from the official kiln in the blank period, experts will hardly even look at it and tell you it is a fake; let alone you, even if it is someone If an expert takes out a piece of white porcelain and tells you that it is white porcelain from the blank period, you can go up and give him a big mouth. Why, because there is no proof handed down from generation to generation.

If domestic experts now see a Ming Dynasty white porcelain, it is somewhat similar to Tianbai but slightly different. It looks like Chenghua white porcelain but is not. According to the quality of the glaze, it has nothing to do with Dehua. At this time, you can either move it up to Xuande, or move it down to Chenghua, Hongzhi, or Zhengde. As for the blank period in the middle, I really can't be sure, because there are too few standard instruments with clear dates that can be used as a basis.

Why these pieces of white porcelain can be determined to be from the blank period? Just because they are tomb objects, and there are many clues in the tombs to prove that these are white porcelain from the blank period. If they are found in the cellar, they may not dare to conclude that they are from the blank period. white porcelain.

When Chen Yang heard Qin Haofeng say that the white porcelain jar was white porcelain from the blank period, he understood in his heart that if Qin Haofeng's knife slashed all the money out of the foreigner's pocket, he would no longer be a little jelly bean!

"Qin, is this really white porcelain from the blank period? Why doesn't it look like it to me?" Mark frowned and asked Qin Haofeng.

You can see it, let alone you. Brother Yang said that even domestic experts can't see it. You, a foreigner, still want to see it?

"Mr. Mark, we can't look at the glaze of the white porcelain of the blank period," Qin Haofeng said with a smile, pointing to the white porcelain covered jar, "the orthodox style of the white porcelain of this period should be close to the late Xuande period to a large extent; The Tianshun porcelain is more similar to the Chenghua dynasty; the style characteristics of the Jingtai period in between are in between."

"You look very messy. One moment you look like this dynasty, and the next you look like that dynasty, don't you?"

After Qin Haofeng asked, Mark nodded repeatedly. Chen Yang secretly laughed at the side, this was something he had said to Qin Haofeng, and this guy actually used it on foreigners verbatim. They were not confused!

"So, we have to watch it carefully!" Qin Haofeng took off the lid and turned the jar over.

The glaze production is not very precise, and the soles are generally not neatly trimmed. Although the shape has not changed much compared with the previous generation, the bottom surface is uneven and there are jump marks and glaze shrinkage spots on the soles. The circle foot gradually becomes larger, the foot wall becomes narrower and deeper, from the outward and inward style to the outward and inward straight wall type.

"This is the characteristic of the blank period," Qin Haofeng said nonsense, confusing the characteristics of several dynasties mentioned by Chen Yang, and instilled it all into Mark, "Bottles and cans have thicker bodies, and the mouths of the vessels are orthodox and dynasty. The straight necks of the Xuande Dynasty have the same shape, and by the time of Jingtai and Tianshun, they are more broad at the bottom and convergent at the top, with no glaze at the bottom. The foot of the circle is wide, thick and shallow in the early stage, and the foot of the circle is slightly higher, with flint red and sticky sand."

"To sum up the above analysis, combined with the characteristics of the blank period white porcelain discovered in our country in recent years, this is a blank period white porcelain covered jar!" Qin Haofeng clapped his hands and said with certainty.

Mark nodded, while digesting what Qin Haofeng said, he looked at the lidded jar carefully. Zhang Ting next to her looked at Qin Haofeng and blinked a few times. She really didn't expect that this kid was nothing when he was in school. Now when he talks about these things, he talks about them one after another.

Mark looked at Qin Haofeng, who was sitting next to him leisurely drinking tea, "Qin, this is so..."

"Don't ask," Qin Haofeng raised his hand and made a gesture to shut him up, "This object already belongs to him, and he will come to pick it up soon!"

"Mr. Mark, I won't give it to you no matter how much money you pay. This is a matter of credibility!"

When Mark heard what Qin Haofeng said, he smiled secretly in his heart. The more the businessman said this, the more it proved that he would sell it to him. It was just a matter of price.

"Qin, my friend," Mark took Qin Haofeng's arm and said directly, "you are a businessman, and businessmen should focus on profit. Look at this thing of yours, he hasn't come to pick it up yet. If he doesn't come, If so, then your interests will be lost."

Qin Haofeng waved his hand and said no. Boss Tian is his old customer and he will definitely come to pick it up. Seeing that Qin Haofeng had no intention of giving it to him, Mark frowned. He had to find a way to persuade Qin Haofeng. If he came later, he would not sell it to him.

"Qin, can you tell me the value of this piece of white porcelain?" Mark shrugged his shoulders and asked Qin Haofeng.

"Value?" Qin Haofeng glanced at it and told Mark with a smile that there were several pieces of this kind of blank white porcelain in the country. Then he looked at Mark and asked, "Mr. Mark, what do you mean by it?" value?"

Mark's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. If what Qin Haofeng said is true, then this is a treasure! Mark knew the value of Ming Dynasty white porcelain, but he was not very familiar with Ming Dynasty porcelain.

etc! Suddenly an idea flashed through Mark's mind, and he pursed his lips and looked at Qin Haofeng, "Qin, since it is such a rare thing, why did you sell it instead of keeping it for yourself?"

After Qin Haofeng heard Mark's question, he shook the lid of the tea cup slightly. Damn, you are exaggerating! This foreigner is really shrewd. Of course he keeps such a good item for himself. How can he sell it?

"Ahem," Qin Haofeng coughed twice, put the tea cup back on the table, raised his eyelids and looked at Mark, "Mr. Mark, I would like to keep it, but I don't have any money!"

"If I were like you, I would spend a hundred thousand dollars at a time, and I would keep it!" Qin Haofeng pretended to smile bitterly, "I have no choice, I need money, what if I don't sell it?"

"You have to know that Boss Tian has come up with this number!" As he spoke, Qin Haofeng made an eight sign.

You know, the best excuse for all the unreasonable things in this world is money! Why are gamblers ruthless? Because they can sell their sons and daughters for gambling money; those who want to treat their children can sell cars and houses; profiteers like Qin Haofeng can, of course, sell treasures like blank white porcelain for money!

"Eighty thousand?" Mark asked cautiously.

"Eighty thousand, huh!" Qin Haofeng sneered, "If it's [-], I'd rather leave it collecting dust than sell it to him!" As he spoke, he huffed at his watch, and then wiped it carefully with his sleeves. Saying, "Adding a zero!"

"Eight hundred thousand!" Mark was surprised and looked at Qin Haofeng with wide eyes.

Qin Haofeng glanced at the surprised Mark and said that there was no need to be so surprised. Even at this price, he still considered him an old friend, otherwise he would not be able to take away a hundred of them! After all, there are not many of this object in the country, but the few that appear are all in museums!

"It, count me as the winner..." After saying this, Qin Haofeng looked at Mark, "It means it is almost a treasure of the store. Do you think I can sell it to him if I have less money?"

As he spoke, Qin Haofeng clasped his hands behind his back and made a six-character sign to Chen Yang. After shaking for a few times, Chen Yang understood what he meant on the spot. He picked up the mobile phone and turned around and walked back, "Zhenfeng, give Xiaofeng a call." , he said just listen."

When he heard the price, Mark hesitated. After all, it was [-] yuan. Although he said he had enough money, he still hesitated to spend so much money at once to buy such a treasure. Just as Mark was thinking, Qin Haofeng's phone rang.

"Hey, Boss Tian, ​​it's me, it's me," Qin Haofeng said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, I'll keep that item for you. You can take it away as long as you come over. The packaging box is ready for you."

"What? Ah, you have something to do and you can't make it today. You have to go tomorrow. No problem, no problem. Just come over then. Just remember to bring enough money!"

Hearing what Qin Haofeng said on the phone, Mark's eyes moved and an imperceptible smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.
