"These blue and white porcelains are well-made, or they are fine products of the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty, or they can be identified!"

Or identifiable?

Kiln?

Fine?

How can it be?

Zhang Yi felt unbelievable.

In this place, how can there be an official kiln blue and white porcelain?

Judging from this person's equipment, he is indeed the kind of person who specializes in going to the sea to salvage porcelain. Hailao porcelain is often exported porcelain, and under normal circumstances, there will be no official kiln porcelain at all.

Otherwise, Tang Dayuan would not have said that he was not interested in Hailao porcelain.

If Hailao porcelain is worth money, how could he not be interested?

But if this Hailao porcelain is an official kiln and a fine product, it will be very different.

Although the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is not as big as the name of the Yuan blue and white porcelain, the blue and white porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty is very similar to the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and the artistic style is very similar to the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty.

The blue and white of the official kiln, even if it is a sea fish, is still very valuable.

But, then again.

Does Hailao porcelain have an official kiln?

In fact, relevant experts have studied this.

Under normal circumstances, most people believe that Hailao porcelain is export porcelain, and export porcelain is produced by the people, and has nothing to do with official kiln porcelain.

Among the Hailao porcelain, the porcelain found with good sense is often the porcelain of the folk imitation official kiln.

This is also one of the reasons why the price of Hailao porcelain cannot go up.

Sky-high antiques are often produced in official kilns.

That's the same thing.

So.

This voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Yi's mind, saying that the porcelain in front of Zhang Yi may be the fine blue and white porcelain of the official kiln, and there is a very big difference with the knowledge that Zhang Yi has seen in books before.

The official kiln boutiques are all for the palace, how can they appear in this place?

There are these questions.

Zhang Yi cautiously picked up one of the pieces of porcelain.

It has two ears and has dragon patterns.

For the time being, it is called a cloud dragon pattern amphora.

The workmanship of this piece of blue and white porcelain is indeed very exquisite.

Moreover, the blue and white flowers are gray in color, and the carcass is very heavy, which are actually the characteristics of Yuan blue and white. However, at the bottom of the porcelain vase, there is a six-character paragraph of "Daming Hongwu Year".

During the Hongwu period, it was the porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty, that is, the time of Zhu Yuanzhang.

No wonder, it looks like Yuan Qinghua.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, blue and white porcelain was fired, inheriting the production method of the Yuan Dynasty, which was naturally similar to the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty.

And among these few pieces of porcelain.

Except for a piece of blue and white glazed red porcelain, the others are all blue and white porcelain. Moreover, the characteristics are very similar. It should all be from the Hongwu period.

Other than that.

On the cloud dragon pattern amphora, a five-clawed dragon is used.

This further confirms that this is indeed a batch of official kiln porcelain from the Hongwu period.

Why?

Because, in the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, the regulations on the dragon pattern were very strict.

Dragons can be used for folk kiln porcelain, however, five-clawed dragons cannot be used for Jedi. The five-clawed dragon pattern is only allowed to be used by the royal family, and whoever dares to use it among the people is a transgression and a felony that will kill the head.

But.

Here's the problem.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang's official kiln porcelain at that time appear at sea and be salvaged by later generations?

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a sea ban in policy.

But.

To a certain extent, the sea ban is actually a dead letter.

Maritime trade in the coastal zone is still very frequent. If a shipwreck is found, it is a merchant ship from the early Ming Dynasty, carrying some porcelain from the folk kiln, which is normal.

However, it seems that the official kiln porcelain is not quite right.

This.

Zhang Yi couldn't figure it out.

So.

With the index finger of his right hand, he touched the cloud dragon pattern amphora.

Next.

A voice immediately sounded in his head.

"Excuse me, is it an appraisal?"

"Identification!"

Zhang Yi said secretly in his heart.

Meanwhile.

Fang Yiyi also picked up a blue and white porcelain plate, the smaller one, which should be a kind of cup holder. The edges are lotus patterned, and she looks very carefully.

And this side.

In Zhang Yi's mind, a voice came again.

"During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the cloud dragon pattern double dragon ear bottle."

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the establishment of the imperial kiln factory in Zhushan, Jingdezhen, which became the earliest official kiln in Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty. The type of utensils is mostly pier-type bowls or waist folding plates and waist bowls, and most of them follow the old system of Yuan Wei; The color of blue and white is grayish, and the carcass is heavy; The pattern decorative lines are rough and bold, which changes the style of the Yuan Dynasty with many layers and full of patterns, and tends to be more blank. ”

"This cloud dragon pattern double dragon ear bottle, the style of painting is quite Yuan Dynasty style, blue and white is not as thick and green as Yuan blue and white, this is actually the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which led to the interruption of the source of imported green materials, blue and white firing, had to use low iron content, high manganese content of domestic green materials."

"In addition, this blue and white pattern, concise and smooth, bold and vivid, the dragon image of the cloud dragon pattern is not as fierce as the Yuan Dynasty, which is also the aesthetic change of the Ming Dynasty, and the five-clawed dragon is specially used for the official kiln, and the cloud pattern is arranged in the shape of a product, these are the characteristics of the official kiln boutique during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty."

"Therefore, this cloud dragon pattern double dragon ear bottle in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a fine product of the blue and white porcelain official kiln in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty!"

"In addition."

"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, although there was a maritime ban on trade, the smuggling trade was still hot. However, this Hongwu blue and white porcelain is not a smuggling trade, the reason why this Hongwu blue and white official kiln porcelain appeared, in fact, has a close relationship with the tributary trade at that time in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Of course, in ancient times, there were many dynasties of overseas trade, which were basically based on tributary trade, and this deformed trade method continued until the middle of the Qing Dynasty."

"What is tributary trade?"

"In fact, it is the overseas countries that send their national specialties to the court of the Ming Dynasty in the form of tribute, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty gives back the goods in the form of rewards."

However, this kind of trade relationship is not an equivalent exchange based on the amount of value, but to reflect the superiority of the imperial power centered on the Ming Dynasty, so it is often a good exchange. For example, the special products brought by overseas countries are worth 100 taels of silver, but in order to show their superiority, the Ming Dynasty will give overseas countries a reward worth hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver to reflect the superiority of their own great powers. ”

"And this deformed trade method even made the Ming Dynasty's finances very tight, and in the end, it had to limit the number of foreign countries coming to trade in the form of surveys."

"At the time of tributary trade, the porcelain that the Ming Dynasty royal rewarded overseas countries was, of course, the porcelain of the official kiln, to reflect the emperor's grace and proclamation of grace."

Therefore, the appearance of official kilns in Hailao porcelain is not unreasonable. This just reflects the existence of tributary trade in the Ming Dynasty, which was carried out by the royal benevolence of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Therefore, this Ming Dynasty Hongwu official kiln blue and white cloud dragon pattern double dragon ear porcelain vase, although it is Hailao porcelain, but not trade export porcelain, but tributary trade porcelain, well-preserved, is really rare!"
