Chapter 178 Longquan Kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty Imitating the Flower Mouth Plate of Heitai Ge Kiln

Yang Jing leaned over, stood beside several people, and looked at the plate with the help of the dim light.

Of course he won't speak at this time.

Anyone who plays antiques knows one of the most basic rules, that is, when others are looking at things, you can watch from the side, but don't comment without the consent of the stall owner.You can only watch what other people have read.When others are negotiating prices, you can listen, but you cannot participate.You can negotiate with the stall owner only after other people's bargaining has ended and no deal has been reached.

This is the rule.

Now the old man is looking at the plate, if Yang Jing interrupted at this moment, it would be a violation of the rules, not only the old man can scold Yang Jing, but even if the stall owner is also a well-behaved person, he will be very serious may not do business with you.No matter how high your price is, they won't sell it to you.

People who break the rules are so unpopular.

When China’s antique market was just emerging, both sellers and buyers were very polite. Unlike the antique market more than 20 years later, anyone who came here dared to interrupt and talk nonsense, and he didn’t know where he learned it from when he opened his mouth. "Jargon", Niubi coaxed it as if he was so awesome.In fact, in the eyes of experts, this kind of talent is the real evil.

The old man was wearing gloves. After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and whispered to an old man who was almost dressed beside him, "Old Wang, what do you think of this plate?"

The old man surnamed Wang nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "This should be a handed down Ge kiln porcelain. Judging from the shape and ice cracks, it fits the characteristics of those handed down Ge kiln porcelain handed down from the Qing palace."

After a pause, the old man continued with a wry smile, "Old Zhao, the real Ge kiln porcelain is almost invisible now! But as long as the price of this plate is right, I think it's quite appropriate for you to take it down."

The first old man nodded slightly, and then asked the stall owner, "Boss, is this dish worth 2000 yuan?"

From the old man's questioning, Yang Jing knew that the old man was definitely an "eagle".

In the antique business, the distinction between eagles and blind bears (rookies) is not casual, it can be seen from many subtle points.For example, if you are a novice in this inquiry technique, you will usually ask: "Boss, how much is this plate?"

If a rookie asks this question, the seller will climb up the pole. Originally, a plate worth 20 yuan, he dares to offer you [-] or even [-]!Who made you a rookie? If you don't cheat you, who will you cheat?

But veterans would never ask such a question, they would usually make an inquiry in the form of an active offer.It's as if the old man surnamed Zhao directly asked the boss, "Is this dish worth two thousand?" The implication is to tell the boss that I roughly know the price of your dish, so you don't want to fool me.

When the seller hears this inquiry method, he will know that the person in front of him is either an "old wolf" or an "eagle". It is unrealistic to try to fool them.And once the price offered by the buyer meets the seller's wishes, the transaction will be completed soon.

From the seller's point of view, they are also willing to do business with this kind of expert. Although they can't make much money in the hands of the expert, this kind of expert is a potential stable customer. Came here to buy things.

However, the price offered by the old man surnamed Zhao obviously did not match the price in the stall owner's mind. The owner shook his head and said directly: "Old man, I can see that you are an expert. If it is an ordinary plate, I will pay the price I have given it to you, but this plate is not available, if you want this plate, at least 2 yuan!"

The old man surnamed Zhao was not in a hurry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother, your price is too high. The plate in your hand is not old enough, at most it is a brother kiln handed down from the Qing Palace. If If it’s genuine Ge kiln porcelain, don’t say 20, it’s 200 or [-] million, the old man has to buy it even if he sells it. You, it’s not enough.”

The face of the street stall owner was a bit ugly. Fortunately, the light was dim and it was not obvious, but Yang Jing could clearly see the slight trembling of the owner's hands.

"Grandpa, I respect your age, so I won't say anything ugly. Even if my plate is handed down from the elder brother's kiln, it is imitated from the Yongqian official kiln. 2000 yuan is not enough. If you want, I can I'll give you another 500 yuan cheaper."

The old man shook his head and said, "As you said, this plate of yours is likely to be an imitation of Ge porcelain from the Yongqian official kiln. What can be imitated is an imitation, and it will never be the real thing. I just came over there, a Qianlong famille rose I only spent [-] on the plate, your plate is really expensive. So let me add more, how about [-]?"

As soon as he heard the old man's words, he knew that the old man was indeed an expert. Yang Jing knew that the best imitation of Ge kiln porcelain in the past was Yonggan.Yonggan’s official kilns also imitated a large number of Ge kiln porcelains, and among the imitation Ge kiln porcelains of all dynasties, only the imitation Ge kiln porcelains of the Yonggan era used black bodies, which is why it is said that Yonggan imitation Ge kiln porcelain Kiln porcelain is the best for a big reason.

The stall owner still shook his head, but still dropped another 500 yuan to the old man.

Yang Jing was listening to the two people haggling about the price, and his heart jumped.Obviously, these two people knew that this plate was an old object with a wide open door. Although it was only imitation Ge kiln porcelain from the Yongqian period, it was also a genuine Ge kiln handed down from generation to generation.

In the Spring Auction of Christie's Hong Kong Island in 2015, a Ming Dynasty imitation Ge Kiln flower mouth plate, also known as the handed down Ge Kiln, was sold at a high price of 880 million Hong Kong dollars at the auction.And a better imitation of Yongqian imitation Ge kiln porcelain is now sold for less than 2 yuan!The old man said just now that he bought a Qianlong famille rose dish for only 2000 yuan.

This is so damn cheap, is there anything?
This era is indeed a paradise for antique lovers!
It is indeed the most correct choice to wear to this era.

The two chatted for four or five minutes, and finally the owner of the stall stuck the price at 5 and said nothing, and this price was obviously beyond the psychological price of the old man surnamed Zhao. The old man could only sigh helplessly, put the plate back carefully, then shook his head and walked away with another old man.

As soon as the two old men left, there were two other middle-aged men who obviously wanted the plate too, but after witnessing the price bargain just now, the two middle-aged men reckoned that they might not be able to take the plate. He also shook his head and turned to leave.

Yang Jing immediately took a step forward, and asked the boss with a smile: "Boss, can I use this plate?"

The boss just ran a business, and he seemed a little uninterested, so he nodded.

Yang Jing immediately put on the gloves, reached out to pick up the plate, and at the same time quietly activated the identification skill, but the answer given by the holy ring made Yang Jing almost jump up.

"Southern Song Dynasty Longquan Kiln Imitation Heitai Ge Kiln Huakou Plate, 1227, Zhang Liren."

Damn, this plate is not handed down from the Ge Kiln, but an imitation of the Longquan Kiln that is contemporary with the Ge Kiln!

The conclusion given by Shengjie really made Yang Jing overjoyed.

In fact, among the ancient porcelains produced in the five kilns of the Song Dynasty, the only one that has not been clearly concluded so far is the Ge kiln porcelain.

The ancient porcelain produced by the other four famous kilns in the five kilns of the Song Dynasty has been handed down to the present, but only the porcelain of the Ge kiln has not been found so far.Although there are many documents in history that have mentioned the kiln mouth of Ge Kiln and the characteristics of Ge Kiln porcelain, and even designated the imitation Ge Kiln porcelain after the Yuan Dynasty as "Handed down Ge Kiln", but in fact Almost all of the Ge kiln porcelain mentioned in those documents or modern archaeological documents are the porcelain fired by the younger brother's kiln at that time, that is, the porcelain fired by the Longquan kiln.

Because the exact location of the Ge Kiln has not been confirmed until now, and the Ge Kiln porcelain unearthed from the tomb has not been seen, so there is still a lot of debate in the academic circles about the Ge Kiln.To put it bluntly, even the top experts in ancient porcelain don’t dare to pat their chests and say that Ge Kiln must exist. After all, there is no porcelain to prove the existence of Ge Kiln.

That is to say, the ancient porcelain produced by Longquan Kiln in the same kiln area as Ge Kiln has the characteristics of "golden wire and iron wire", you can also regard it as serious Ge Kiln porcelain.

The kiln mouths of the two brothers are not far apart, and the porcelain making skills are also passed down in the same line, and the raw materials such as porcelain clay used are also the same. What is it called "Ge Kiln Porcelain"?Not to mention what was mentioned in the appraisal just now, the person who made this plate is also surnamed Zhang, maybe he is the son or grandson of Zhang Shengyi or Zhang Shenger!

Well, even if the porcelain of Longquan kiln is imitation, it is also the highest level of imitation, okay?

After all, the classification of Ge Kiln porcelain in academia can be divided into "Ge Kiln Porcelain", "Longquan Ge Kiln" and "Handed down Ge Kiln".The ranking of Longquan Ge Kiln is even higher than that of Handed down Ge Kiln!

No matter how academic circles talk about Ge Kiln Porcelain, anyway, I have decided on this plate buddy!
The beauty in Yang Jing's heart, it has not been an hour since he passed through, and he unexpectedly encountered this kind of treasure handed down from generation to generation with the door open, how can this not make people so beautiful?

Although the porcelains of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are the most exquisite and of high value, apart from those unique ones, how can other porcelains of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty compare with the ancient porcelains of the Song and Yuan Dynasties?The Song and Yuan dynasties, especially the porcelains of the Song Dynasty, represent the heritage of Chinese porcelain, and those are the good things that really open the door!

A burst of noisy footsteps interrupted Yang Jing's thoughts. Yang Jing turned his head and looked over, but found that the two old men who had just left had returned, and judging from their speed and expressions, the two old men seemed to regret it. I want to come back and get this plate back.

Sure enough, the old man surnamed Zhao walked to the stall and opened his mouth and said, "Boss, is that plate still there?"

The boss is obviously also a senior businessman who knows the rules.He pouted at Yang Jing and didn't say anything, but the meaning was there - the plate you didn't want just now is in someone else's hands.

The old man froze for a moment, then his eyes fell on Yang Jing, he opened his mouth to say something, but finally he sighed and stopped speaking.

Seeing this posture, Yang Jing immediately said, "Boss, you just sold this plate for [-], right?"

The boss nodded. The young man was here when the price was called just now, so he can't open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"Okay, I want this plate, wrap it up for me!" Yang Jing said, put the plate back to its original place gently, and then opened a small hole in the backpack hanging on his chest , took out two stacks of blue-gray "four-headed" hundred-yuan bills from the inside, and then quickly picked out forty bills from one of the stacks and put them in the backpack, and then directly handed over the remaining [-] yuan bills. Gave it to the boss.

"Yo, thanks for your patronage, thank you!" The boss said a polite word, and then happily took the money, counting the money while identifying the authenticity of the banknotes.

Of course Yang Jing wasn't worried that these banknotes were fake, they were genuine banknotes from the Gold and Silver Currency Bureau, and they were all the fourth set of national currency in 1992, so they were absolutely genuine.

The old man next to him saw that Yang Jing had paid, and heaved a long and helpless sigh again.In less than 5 minutes, the plate belonged to someone else, which made the old man surnamed Zhao feel very helpless.

The stall owner quickly finished counting the money, took out a few newspapers from a cardboard box with a smile, grabbed the plate and wrapped it up. After wrapping three layers of newspapers in a row, he put the plate down and smiled. Said: "Mr., our small stall and small household do not have so many exquisite packaging, please forgive me."

How could Yang Jing care about this?He grabbed the plate and put it in his backpack.At this point, the plate can be regarded as completely belonging to Yang Jing.

At this time, Yang Jing felt that someone had patted his shoulder. Yang Jing turned his head to look, but found that it was the old man surnamed Zhao who spoke just now.

"Old man, what's the matter with you?"

Perhaps it was the first time they faced each other head-on. The old man saw Yang Jing's blue eyes after using the "disguise" skill. The old man hesitated for a moment before asking: "Sir, are you a foreigner?"

Yang Jing smiled and said, "British Chinese."

The old man's face darkened all of a sudden, but he still asked: "Sir, I wonder if you can transfer the plate in your hand to me? I will offer the same price."

This time is not the time to respect the old and love the young, this is a major event related to Longquan Ge Kiln.So Yang Jing simply shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I also like this plate very much, so I bought it for collection."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said, "Are you planning to bring this plate back to England?"

If the old man didn't ask this question, Yang Jing wouldn't be aware of anything, but when the old man said this, Yang Jing immediately remembered some laws and regulations on carrying cultural relics out of the country.According to the relevant laws of China, all cultural relics with certain historical, artistic and scientific values ​​produced and produced before 1949 (inclusive) as the main standard line are prohibited from leaving the country in principle, and those produced and produced before 1911 (inclusive) Cultural relics are prohibited from leaving the country.

This is one of the most basic provisions of China's relevant laws on the export of cultural relics. As for other legal provisions, there are stricter and clearer boundaries.But no matter what, the plate in my hand is definitely not within the scope of cultural relics allowed to leave the country by law.

Thinking of these legal provisions, Yang Jing smiled slightly and said: "Old man, you made a mistake, I am not going to bring this dish back to England. I still have a residence in Huaxia, so I will keep this dish in Huaxia. I also know that such precious cultural relics are not allowed to be taken out of the country, so I never thought about bringing such a precious treasure back to the UK. Although I am a British Chinese, I am also a Chinese after all. I will take the things of my ancestors out of the country again. You can rest assured about this."

After hearing this, the old man sighed again, turned around and left here with another old man.
