Chapter 572 "Picture of Lady with Hairpin"

After loading more than a dozen pieces of porcelain into the car, they closed the car door and walked back to the market. Only then did Lao Chai ask Zhou Zhi: "What about the bird food jars?"

"Well, although the utensils are small, they are good things. They belong to Qianlong."

"It's not cheap at all. Why did you see Qianlong?" Lao Chai was startled, then he raised his hand to Zhou Zhi and said with a smile, "I'm so grateful for this gift from my brother."

"The characteristic of pastel is that glass white is added to the material, and the color is applied using the boneless rendering technique of Chinese painting. The shades and levels of the color can be increased or decreased at will, and the color can be painted with rich levels, soft colors, obvious transition effects, and three-dimensional

It has a strong sense of expression and can fully reflect the subject matter of the object’s depth and yin and yang.”

"The reason why it is said to be Qianlong is because the raw materials used in pastels, in addition to those using ancient colors, also created several colors, such as carmine, Qiang red, magenta, magenta, etc."

"The carmine and aqua red are made of red gold and crystal materials; the magenta, magenta, magenta, emerald and other colors are made of nitrate powder, stone powder and borax."

"Porcelain using these kinds of colored materials is undoubtedly from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty."

"Among the three generations of pastels, they have their own characteristics. "Tao Ya" says: 'Kang kiln has thick blue and green colors, so it is hard color, while Yongzheng's is light and beautiful, so it has powder, and those without powder also belong to this category.

The lightness of other qualities. "Yin Liu Zhai Shuo Porcelain" said: "Kangxi hard color, Yongzheng soft color. Hard color means that the color is very strong, and the glaze foil is slightly raised; soft color is also called pastel color.

, it means that the color is deep and the pink is even, the hard color is luxurious and deep, and the pastel is gorgeous and elegant.'"

"So it is not difficult to see that the red and green colors of Kangxi's five colors are very strong, so they are called hard colors, while the Yongzheng pastel colors are pink and even, light and beautiful, so they are called soft colors."

“Although Kang kiln also has pastel utensils, the overall color is still too rich and bright, not as elegant as the Yongzheng period.”

"In Qianlong's reign, pastels became the mainstream of colored porcelain. In addition to white pastels, pastel porcelain of various ground colors, such as bean green ground, red ground, yellow ground, blue ground, green ground, carmine ground, wood grain

Glaze ground, chipped ground, etc. have become popular styles. This is the gorgeous style inherited from Qianlong pastel porcelain from copper enamelware."

"The most popular one is to apply low-temperature green glaze on the inside of the vessel, and sometimes the bottom of the vessel is also coated with green glaze. The jargon is called 'green pastel', also known as 'green ware'."

"Because Green Qi ware is very popular, from the beginning of Jiaqing to the Republic of China, a large number of them were copied, and some were even repainted and fired with Qianlong white porcelain, which is very confusing."

"However, the green color of the real Qianlong green ware is light and shiny yellow. There are small cracks on the surface, which is also known as 'orange peel pattern' as the saying goes. The bonding of the glaze is very strong and rarely peels off, which is the case after Jiaqing.

When prepared, the green color is deep and peeling is common."

"Compared with Yongzheng pastels, Qianlong pastels have changed from elegant and beautiful to rich and luxurious in large pieces. However, in some small pieces, the decorative style continues to inherit the flower patterns of the Yongzheng period, including flower patterns on branches and

A small number of ink and color landscape paintings, etc., still maintain an elegant and quiet style."

"These three small jars have all the above characteristics. The green lining is pink glaze, the outline of the pattern is outlined with gold lines, and the rim is painted with gold."

"This is a characteristic of fine Qianlong pastel paintings. Therefore, although the three bird feed jars are small, they are truly exquisite pieces."

"That means the boss doesn't know what he's selling, so we picked it up for nothing."

"If this is the Qianlong pastel official kiln ware, it would be a huge profit!" The interest of the three old men suddenly became high. Old Li smiled and said: "If it doesn't change hands, it must be worth three or four hundred?"

"Actually, it's better as a specimen. I often take it out and try to figure it out. In the future, I will have a direct impression of this type of porcelain." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Thank you for bringing me here to play. It's not respectful, but I just chose these few gadgets.

As a small gift."

"Those blue and white pieces are the big leaks, right?" Lao Chai said: "Thick body and fat glaze, superb painting skills, but it's a pity that I don't have the money, so I don't dare to do it. What do you think of the elbow?"

"I have to go back and talk about this slowly, but it must be good stuff. I'll find a place to look at it later and talk about it later." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's serious to continue shopping now!"

"Yes, yes..." Lao Chai said with a smile: "Anyway, things can't escape here. Wait until dawn to find a place, and you can go to class with us!"

It should be said that in 1992, there were still a lot of real things in the second-hand literary and art market, such as leader badges, quotation badges, little red books, etc. that would become rare in another twenty years. Now there are so many of them.

number.

In addition, there are many bamboo and wooden wares that are characteristic of Sichuan, especially those made of golden nanmu. They are on the same level as camphor wood, green gangwood and old nan bamboo wares, and there is no special treatment.

There are also a lot of single-color glazed porcelain, but due to the limitations of today's buyers and sellers, the good and the bad are mixed and difficult to distinguish, just like the pomegranate statue that was missed before, resulting in extremely low prices.

But this category is extremely broad. Starting from the original celadon of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, we know that the lime glazes of rural earthen kilns in later generations are actually single-color glazes, and the large-scale technological process from carving to glazing and firing is basically the same. Many of them are still the same.

Experts have to pay attention to this.

Zhou Zhi did not have this problem, because there were too many Han pottery, Song porcelain, Qing porcelain, and various fragments unearthed from Jiachuan, and he picked up a lot of them on the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiachuan.

However, the older the industry, the more valuable it is. It mainly depends on the market’s acceptance and popularity.

For example, the shrimps sold by Qi Baishi in this market are less than one thousand when they are four and a half feet tall, but the paintings of Zhang Daqian, who is now internationally famous, have long exceeded thirty thousand and one feet.

Along the way, Zhou Zhi took another step to capture another painting, which is the only authentic copy of Tang Dynasty lady painting handed down in the world - "Picture of Lady with Hairpins", a rough color painting on silk that is said to have been painted by Zhou Fang of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, it cannot be an authentic work. The original work is in the LN Provincial Museum. The one Zhou Zhi bought now was from 1956, when the state organized a research project and was reproduced by Rong Baozhai through woodblock watermark technology.

Engraved work on silk.

But this is remarkable. The most precious thing about woodblock watermarks is that they can reproduce the original work to the maximum extent and be faithful to the original work. The level of reproduction is so high that sometimes it is impossible to distinguish the original work from the copy.

Rong Baozhai's works are among the best. The painting "Lady with Hairpin Flowers" in Zhou Zhi's hands was only copied by the country dozens of times at that time. It can be given to foreign friends as a national gift, and the standard is quite high.

But at this flea market, Zhou Zhi only spent 80 yuan and got it easily.

This is a gift for my fourth cousin and aunt. I believe they will be very happy when they see this artistic treasure, which is "a first-class authentic work".
