Jin Muchen's time in the antique business is not too short, and the top-level porcelain he has handled is even more rare. 【Read the latest chapter..】

If he just relies on normal business methods, I am afraid that he may not be able to get a few pieces of the world's top Chinese porcelain in his lifetime.

However, he had supernatural abilities, and even broke into the British Museum in person, and was bloodbathed several times.

You must know that in this world, the place where China's top ancient porcelain is collected is neither the Palace Museum in China nor the private collection of those big private collectors. The place in the world that collects China's top precious porcelain is exactly that. The British Museum.

Only there can you see the best and most abundant porcelain from the five kilns in the Song Dynasty, such as Ru kiln, Jun kiln, Ding kiln, Guan kiln and Ge kiln.

In addition, there are many collections of various top and precious porcelains in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they are all of the best appearance and quality.

But now those precious porcelains are now stored in Jin Muchen's purple jade space.

However, although the British Museum claims to have the most complete collection of ancient Chinese porcelains, it is not without its shortcomings. At least according to records, there is one of the most precious porcelains in ancient China, which is collected in the British Museum.

And this kind of precious porcelain is the Chenghua Doucai porcelain in the Ming Dynasty! !

It was also a few years ago that in the Chinese auction market, after the large blue-and-white pot of Guiguzi in the Yuan Dynasty, it once again set a sky-high price for that kind of porcelain.

In 2007, in a certain auction in Xiangjiang, a Ming Chenghua Doucai j-cylinder was auctioned for a sky-high price of 240 million Hong Kong dollars. As soon as this price came out, it caused an uproar.

It caused an uproar in China's antique collection industry.

After this price came out, there were countless archaeology and treasure appraisers who were arguing in various treasure appraising and treasure hunting programs, and the topic of discussion was nothing more than the Ming Chenghua Doucai j-cylinder cup, whether it was worth it. worth so much money.

However, those experts have made countless mouths. In the end, no definite conclusion was reached.

But there is one problem, which was finally confirmed, that is, the Ming Chenghua Doucai j-cylinder cup is indeed one of the most precious top-level Chinese porcelain in the world. And his survival is indeed very rare, so it is indeed very valuable, but as for the worth of other Ming Chenghua Dou Cai, those experts have not been able to give a conclusion.

The reason for not being able to draw a conclusion is simple. That is the Ming Chenghua Doucai porcelain in existence today, which is really too few.

So far, only the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Palace Museum in Treasure Island have collected only a few dozen pieces in total. As for other museums, there are no such collections in good condition.

Even in the birthplace of Chenghua Doucai, the famous porcelain capital in China, there are only 16 pieces of Chenghua Doucai in the collection, and they are all defective products that have been restored.

It can be seen that this is Huadoucai porcelain. The rarity in the current top-quality porcelain in ancient China.

This Chenghua Doucai porcelain is absolutely as good as the Ru kiln porcelain in the Song Dynasty in terms of the amount of surviving.

Because of its special historical status in the porcelain industry, coupled with the very small amount of surviving, and the special use of the emperor recorded in the inscriptions at that time, this Ming Doucai porcelain has created its status in the current top ancient porcelain in China.

The thought of this made Jin Muchen's heart beat even more fiercely, knowing that after going around the British Museum for so long, he personally collected the top ancient Chinese porcelain. Basically, it's all collected. If there is any regret, I'm afraid it can only be said, and this Ming Chenghua Dou Cai. No more favorites.

If now, the broken pieces of porcelain in his hand are really broken pieces of Ming Chenghua Doucai, then God's eyes are opened, and the treasure that he most hopes to get is sent to him.

And the reason why he guessed that these broken pieces of porcelain were Chenghua Doucai from the Ming Dynasty was partly because of the jewels that these broken pieces of porcelain showed. On the other hand, it is also based on the age of the antiques cleaned out in the previous boxes.

He also asked Abin and the others before, what era of tomb they robbed this time, but Abin said vaguely and didn't say it too clearly. Obviously they didn't know too well. What age is it.

But judging from the things unearthed from these tombs, this tomb should be from the Ming Dynasty, so he boldly inferred that these broken porcelain pieces should be the Ming Chenghua Doucai broken porcelain pieces that he was most in short supply at present.

For others, such broken porcelain pieces may not be of much value, even those who know that these are Ming Chenghua Doucai broken porcelain pieces, because even with the most advanced restoration technology currently mastered by those people, it is impossible to restore these pieces. The broken tiles were all restored to their original condition.

But this is not a problem for me at all. If these pieces of porcelain are really pieces of Chenghua Doucai, then for me, it is just a problem that can be solved by throwing them into the purple jade space and sleeping.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen's heart became even hotter.

The movements in his hands became more and more cautious. Even when he was just cleaning up the china that was in good condition, his movements had never been so gentle and careful.

Fortunately, the sky was dark at this time, and the people in the yard didn't notice his cautious expression. In addition, the big guys were a little slack at this time, and their spirits were no longer on these things, which made him feel good. Opportunity, carefully clean out two pieces of this broken porcelain.

The background color of these two pieces of broken porcelain is white porcelain. Just by looking at the quality of the body, you can already see the difference in the quality of the body. Compared with the quality of the body of a few vases that were cleaned up before, I don't know. How much higher.

These two pieces of broken porcelain body are white and delicate, thin and light, and when you hold them in your hand, there is no weight at all when you put them on a pad. If you take a photo secretly, you can even see your fingers through the tiles.

Looking closely at the white glaze on the porcelain piece, the white glaze is soft and lustrous, and the surface and inside are the same. The formation of this kind of tire and glaze characteristics is caused by the decrease of iron and calcium content in Chenghua porcelain, which is completely in line with the tire quality and characteristics of enamel.

Looking at the pattern on the broken porcelain, because it is a fragment, it is impossible to tell what color pattern is on the white enamel, but it is certain that Jin Muchen sees absolutely more than one color.

Although it was just a glimpse, it could still be seen that the other colors were bright, rich and luxurious.

Just by putting these few features together, Jin Muchen has basically concluded that this must be a fragment of Ming Chenghua Doucai porcelain.

After making such a conclusion, his heart beat violently again.

Looking up at the old man Li, the sixth uncle, Aqiang, Abin, and Sister Tao, I saw only those few people, and no one paid attention to him at this time.

The few of them were discussing something in full swing, but the thing they were surrounded by was the multicolored chrysanthemum celestial ball bottle that was first cleaned up by Jin Muchen. . .

Seeing such a situation, Jin Muchen really didn't know what to say, but he was still relieved. In the end, while those few people were not paying attention, he quickly shoved the two cleaned tiles into the In the dirt pile of the box, and then deliberately tried to touch a layer of mud on it. . .

Those few people didn't know what they were talking about, but the attitude was in full swing. Jin Muchen didn't have the heart to participate in it. At this time, he stood up, first took out a cigarette and lit one for himself, then took a hard breath and calmed down. A moment of excitement in my heart.

No matter what, he never imagined that something in his heart that he had always encountered but could not ask for would appear in front of him under such circumstances.

This Ming Chenghua Doucai porcelain is too precious. It also has a unique position in the history of ancient Chinese porcelain.

The reason why it has such a status is mainly because it is the first porcelain that embodies all kinds of colors on a piece of porcelain for the first time!

Prior to this, ancient Chinese porcelain was all single color, but with the emergence of Chenghua Doucai, various colors were created, all appearing on one piece of porcelain.

Porcelain first appeared in the Jin Dynasty, but at that time it was only a failed product for firing pottery. At that time, due to the immature firing technology of porcelain, the blanks used contained a large amount of copper ions, so most of the fired porcelain was All are green.

Therefore, for a long time, ancient Chinese porcelain was mainly green~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This situation did not improve until the Song Dynasty. With the maturity of firing technology, in the early Northern Song Dynasty, in the history of China , it was the first time that relatively pure white porcelain appeared.

Later, because of the love of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, most of the porcelain of the Song Dynasty preferred a single azure-colored porcelain.

The colorful porcelain produced by Ge kiln was originally a defective product caused by accident because the folk kiln technology was not up to the standard, and the glaze flowed during the firing of porcelain. . .

Later, the blue-and-white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was so popular in Western Europe and the Middle East because it was the first kind of porcelain that people used natural fuels to paint on with white porcelain as the base.

Therefore, the blue-and-white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty can be regarded as a kind of porcelain that has created a historical precedent.

In the Ming Dynasty, people used various natural dyes and began to arbitrarily apply them to porcelain, and for the first time, different colors were applied to the same piece of porcelain, which can be regarded as a precedent for Chinese pastel porcelain.

And this Ming Chenghua Doucai is the top representative work in pastel porcelain! (To be continued.)
