The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

This Mazu statue has a pure white fetus, glaze creamy white and nourishing. It is about 20 cm high. The statue wears a square flat-top crown, wears a diadem dress, and a drape on the shoulders. His hands are hidden in the front of the chest. The **** are sitting upright, and it feels solemn and solemn. Peaceful.

There are two small gods, clairvoyance and downwind ears, on the left and right sides of the statue. They are all bald, wearing short shorts and square scarf.

Clairvoyant raises his left hand to his forehead, and looks at farsightedness; Shunfeng ear covers his ear with his right hand and makes a pleading statement. Although he is small, his image is vivid.

Zhang Nan recognized that this was a statue of Mazu from the crown of the statue. It was true that it was Guanyin. As for guessing that it was burned earlier, it is a feeling of inexplicability. There is no year mark on the statue.

The various sculptures around Yan County can tell a little bit about the characteristics of the times, but the non-local and local sculptures rely on that feeling: few players in Jiangnan Province will learn about the Mazu sculptures in Fujian Province, just like Fujian Province. Collectors who play with white porcelain will not pay attention to celadon in Jiangnan Province.

If the local has its own characteristics, then play it locally; instead of playing with the local one, you can study foreign goods instead. It is not bad if you can get twice the result with half the effort.

As for the age of the statue, there is a factor that also affects Zhang Nan’s judgment: "Taixing" hit the reef in the second year of Daoguang, and it is very likely that it has been put into use during the Jiaqing period, otherwise there would be a new ship built two years ago. Playing smuggling".

The government is keeping a close eye on the new ship, not to mention the giant ship with a deadweight of more than 1,000 tons: Taixing was launched even before Qianlong was hung up. Such a giant sailboat is well maintained and has been well maintained for more than 20 years. Life is still there.

As for the statues of gods, many people feel that the older they are, the more powerful they are. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the white porcelain craftsmanship of Dehua kilns seems to have been lost. The local ones replaced them with blue and white porcelain and colored porcelain, especially It is blue and white porcelain that is the mainstream in Dehua.

Dao Guangnian’s boat enshrines a Ming dynasty deity...

Normal, nothing wrong.

At this time, Zhang Nan took the towel that Davis handed over and wiped the sea water on the surface of the god.

"There is limited fresh water on the boat. These porcelains can be washed with fresh water after they land on land. They are not that fragile. Just don't expose them to the sun.

If this deity is from the Ming Dynasty, the Dehua white porcelain Mazu statue of this period in China has at most one hand, which is a good thing. "

I didn’t say what the price was. When I got here, I just used that towel and put the porcelain statue on the table. “This one will also be sent to China and enter the museum.”

According to the legend, if the soul is possessed, it will not be attached to the idol, but even if Zhang Nan does not want it, it is the reason that he has always followed: the gods and Buddhas in the family are about to be held at home. If you don’t go home, please don’t go home. .

Our home is not a temple.

In the other bucket, there were all dishes and bowls. Zhang Nan looked at them. They were all "Jiadao Min Kiln" in the traditional sense. It is estimated that there should be none made in Dao Guangnian—all were daily utensils, only when the ship sank In the second year of Daoguang, obvious signs of use can be seen on these daily-use utensils.

The water was not discharged from the cargo hold, but from the location near the upper deck.

Most of the models do not have the year number, and the ones with the big white board at the bottom, and the ones with the workshop and kiln mouth marks simply drawn.

They are all complete instruments, and the fragments are all thrown back into the sea after being screened out: it hasn't been damaged, how is it going up, how is it going back to the sea?

Residual porcelain pieces from the folk kilns during the Jiadao period can be found in the walls of the mud-walled houses in the rural China. Since there are complete ones, they can't even be taken back with the words "has a certain research value", stupid!

The boss of Huiguan pulled out a blue-and-white flower plate with a diameter of about 17 or 18 cm from the bucket. Looking at the painting skills on the front, it was not bad, and it could be considered good in the folk kiln.

Hold it upside down and look at the bottom of the plate, with weird horizontal and vertical lines on the top, and ghost symbols are generally written in blue and white styles!

But after recognizing it for a long time, Guan Xingquan just felt that it should be 6 words, but he didn't recognize a word!

Chinese characters are made up of lines, but the lines on this plate are definitely the product of Western abstract paintings combined with the rush of Chinese wild grass, and some metaphysics.

Damn, what is it written?

I can't guess it!

depressed!

Seeing that Ge Guan was studying the knowledge, Zhang Nan glanced at it from a distance and said casually: "The reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty."

When Guan Xingquan heard this, he raised his head.

Zhang Nan doesn't need Guan Xingquan to speak, he knows what is going on in Brother Guan's mind—you got it?

Can you tell from the craftsmanship of the plate?

It's so difficult, can you guess it?

"Six words, it's a bit scribbled."

Zhang Nan didn't want to irritate Boss Guan, and seemed to say it casually.

"Is this a word?"

Still stimulated...

Guan Xingquan at this meeting probably was thinking in his mind: You kidding me, I've read a book!

That guy must dare to write such words to let me recognize, I promise not to kill him!

Zhang Nan tried his best not to irritate Brother Guan, and said: "In the folk kiln, at least 99 of the 100 kiln workers are illiterate. How to write this knowledge is based on the master's drawing.

How the master spends, the land follows~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If the quantity of goods is large and the work is busy, the painting will be more scribble.

Anyway, the requirements for folk kiln porcelain are not particularly high. Even if there is, it mainly depends on the firing level and the front pattern, not this kind of knowledge.

By the way, style recognition is painting, not writing.

The Jiaqing and Daoguang people are better, and the emperor time is not super long.

Every time the new emperor is in the upper ranks, the kiln workers of this year still have to recognize it, otherwise they won't be able to paint.

At the beginning, there will probably be literate people who will teach them specifically to avoid taboos. For ten or twenty years, it is just one or two generations of apprentices. Except for a few that are too sloppy, most of them can still recognize them.

Qianlong is long-lived. He has been emperor for 60 years, plus a few more years as the emperor. I don't know how many kiln workers have changed. The masters and apprentices are even more so.

Three people will be very different in one sentence, this kind of knowledge...you guess it, you will recognize it if you read it too much. "

Since Mr. Guan started mixing with the monitor and Zhang Nan, the antique porcelain he came into contact with was almost an official kiln. I haven't seen it a few times by guessing.

As for the past, who would study what the bottom line of the dishes in their homes is.

Don't believe me, have you noticed what brand of porcelain bowls you eat at home, and how do you write the base?

Boss Guan didn't pay attention, and didn't have much contact with him. Zhang Nan should be the same. How could he "see too much" to know these folk kilns?

However, Guan Xingquan was not interested in asking this question, because Zhang Nan had enough secrets anyway.

Several large barrels of porcelain, some with a small amount of sea creatures attached to them, according to the accompanying diver captain, a well-preserved shipwreck like the Taixing is rare, and this is the first time he has seen it.

This buddy is called Vita Bruno. He is more than 40 years old. He was a professional diver of the US Navy two years ago and has more than 20 years of professional diving experience.
