Decorate a copper cup with a porcelain wall, the style of this thing is somewhat similar to the style of porcelain plate painting

But the porcelain plate painting is used to decorate the house after all, but what you use to decorate is a copper cup. How about the price of the copper cup and the porcelain cup, which one is higher?

Anyone who knows porcelain may know that the price of artistic porcelain cups must be high, so such a brain-opening design, I really don’t know who can come up with it

People who don't know how to do it will definitely ask this question, but for Jin Muchen, he really knows that there are such a group of people with big brains who have done such a thing.

And this group of people are the people from the French national kiln Sèvres Porcelain Factory. For this, they also set up a copper casting studio, specializing in how to decorate copper ware with porcelain.

But this is a long time ago. At that time, it was because of a momentary opening of their brains that they did such a thing that put the cart before the horse.

Later, after they really figured out the price difference between fine china and fine bronze, they rarely did this kind of thing again.

Of course, during this period, there were not many such porcelain or bronze wares produced by them, and very few of them were circulated in the world.

Therefore, it is difficult to define whether it is porcelain or bronze utensils, so it is natural that many people in the porcelain industry do not know such things.

Just like the stall owner of this stall, he specializes in the porcelain business, and you can see the porcelain decorations on his stall, as well as the customization of the price, which shows that the stall owner should know porcelain very well, but this copper is not copper. He doesn't know much about china, china and not china, so he will mark the price of 50 yuan for this kind of thing.

Jin Muchen didn't think much about it at all, just took out fifty dollars and took it on the owner's hand, and then left the stall with the strange thing.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had an afternoon to visit, he would even wish to hurry back and threw this cup into his purple jade space for repair.

"What the **** is this? Porcelain cups? Or copper cups?"

Candace looked at Jin Muchen holding the cup and couldn't put it down, even staring at the cup when he walked. He couldn't help but ask him curiously.

Jin Muchen smiled and turned to her and said, "In essence, it should be a copper cup, but considering its origin, it's not wrong to classify him as a porcelain cup."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a piece of porcelain from the French Royal Porcelain Factory Sèvres, but the age and the characters involved are quite special..."

Jin Muchen began to explain the origin of this cup to Candace

It turned out that after the French Revolution in 1793, King Louis XVI was beheaded, and the original French royal family was completely wiped out. After that, the leaders of various parties in France were in power until Napoleon came to power.

During that period of turmoil, because of the lack of royal support, the French national kiln Sèvres Porcelain Factory was once embarrassed to the brink of bankruptcy. After Napoleon came to power, his government took over the Sèvres Porcelain Factory.

After that, the Sèvres Porcelain Factory was renamed the National Sèvres Porcelain Factory and became the national exclusive kiln house.

Napoleon himself also attached great importance to this porcelain factory. He also appointed a scientist, Boulogne, as the director of the factory, constantly strengthening and improving the skills and processes of the factory in terms of porcelain making.

It was precisely because of Napoleon's intervention that the Sèvres Porcelain Factory was revived again, and with the improvement of skills and processes, it started to become brilliant again.

Therefore, the craftsmen of the Sèvres Porcelain Factory had considerable respect for Napoleon himself. Later, Napoleon led the French army to continuously defeat the European intervention army and gradually conquered the entire European continent. In the hearts of the French people, they have reached the pinnacle of godlike status.

In order to commemorate the achievements of Napoleon himself, taking into account Napoleon's preference for bronze ware, the Sèvres Porcelain Factory also set up a copper casting center to study the craftsmanship of inlaying bronze ornaments on porcelain.

Later, after Napoleon became king, the Sèvres Porcelain Factory also specially produced a batch of flattering works, most of which are half-porcelain and half-copper works.

The style of that batch of works at that time was mainly reflected in the porcelain or inlaid copper trim, which were painted with laurel crown patterns or Napoleon's own head, or Egyptian-style decorative patterns to show Napoleon's military exploits and status.

And this copper cup has obvious characteristics of that period. First of all, it is said that the cup mouth has a laurel pattern, and the portrait of the Western figure on the porcelain wall inlaid on the outside of the cup, although now Because of the poor preservation of the age, the flowers are blurred, but Jin Muchen deduced that the portrait should be the portrait of Napoleon himself.

In this case, the price of this cup can be incredible, even though it is not always pure porcelain, but since this is a product produced by the Sèvres Porcelain Factory, it should still be used by the emperor back then. Not to mention that this emperor is the famous Napoleon in European history, then the price of this cup is hard to estimate.

According to Jin Muchen's estimation, the price of this cup should not be lower than the price of the copper gilt egg vases in his hand.

After all, such utensils have not been widely circulated, not to mention that they were used by Napoleon. You must know that this French emperor has a high reputation in Europe.

In modern times, there are many historians who are die-hard fans of the emperor, and even many collectors, who are quite willing to spend a lot of money on the emperor's possessions.

This can be seen from the auction of the oil painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" a few years ago. There are several samples of the painting. Except for the collection in the French museum, the other paintings are all without exception. It was bought by the millionaires and collected at home.

If you throw this cup out at that time, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the market.

But now my buddy is not short of money, this French national treasure, I still keep it myself first

Since the last time he received the three gilt-bronze egg vases from Sèvres, Jin Muchen has been making up for the history of the Sèvres Porcelain Factory.

So now I explain the origin of this cup to Candace, and what he said is straightforward. Candace can understand the origin of this cup, and at the same time is happy for Jin Muchen, Fang Bo is right, this guy good luck

But while you have good luck, you can't help but admire his eyesight. First of all, you can pick this one out of so many antiques. You can't have a pair of good eyes.

In addition, you can choose the real treasure without blowing your eyes. You also need to have a lot of knowledge. If it is half a bucket of water, even if you put a lot of real treasures in front of you, you may not be able to recognize it.

Therefore, when Candace looked at Jin Muchen, his eyes had changed, and his boyfriend had real skills.

Of course, Jin Muchen also noticed Candace's slightly admiring look when he looked at him, and his heart swelled up in an instant, man, who doesn't want to be able to have a strong image in the eyes of his girlfriend?

Thinking of Candace's eyes, Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel refreshed, and wondered if he should buy Candice a gift.

It seems that I haven't given her anything good for a long time.

After moving his mind, he paid attention to those booths. This antique exhibition is really big enough, and it can be said that there are all kinds of treasures.

Soon Jin Muchen was at a booth specializing in trinkets and fell in love with a little treasure. It was a jewelry box made of tortoiseshell, about the size of a palm, and about ten centimeters high.

There is also a phoenix pattern engraved on the top of the jewelry box, and a copper handle inlaid on it, with obvious Chinese style, which looks quite comfortable

And this jewelry box is not easy to open, there are four layers inside, don't look too big, but the workmanship is quite exquisite

It should be an old object circulated among the people in the Qing Dynasty, and it can be made so finely. It must be used by a large family back then. The color of the tortoiseshell is yellow and white, indicating that this tortoiseshell is also old, and the tortoise shell peacock lamp that he received back then. The tortoiseshell above is different

The tortoiseshell on the lamp is obviously not as old as the tortoiseshell used in this jewelry box. This can be seen from the color.

The stall owner is a middle-aged woman in her thirties~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She looks pretty and speaks quite neatly. When Jin Muchen asked the price, the price of this tortoiseshell jewelry box was three hundred dollars, which is not cheap.

But how can you bargain for something you give to your girlfriend? She directly took out three pictures of Franklin and patted them on the female boss's hand. She was so happy that she smiled and told Candice that she had a good eye for the young man, which made Jin Muchen feel that her three hundred yuan was really worthless.

And Candace's compliments to the female boss are also very useful. Indeed, she feels that her vision is really not bad, especially when it comes to choosing a boyfriend.

And the tortoiseshell jewelry box he gave him is really beautiful, antique and fine workmanship. The most important thing is not to look at it small, but its practical functions are not weak at all. In terms of the more pragmatic characters of Americans, this way things they like best

Jin Muchen dragged Candice's hand, and just wanted to leave the stall, but the moment he turned his head so inadvertently, he felt a sudden light in front of his eyes, a golden light shot straight to the bottom of his eyes, making his heart skip a beat

Is it bad luck? I just picked up a Napoleon's copper cup, so what other good things have I picked up? (To be continued)
