Chapter 488 - Trading Party 8
The cup is about four centimeters high, with a diameter of about eight centimeters and a foot diameter of only half of it.
The mouth of the cup is slightly skimmed outward, and gradually converges downward.
This is a wine vessel, a wine glass.
The shape resembles a cylinder, and the surface is painted with two groups of hen patterns, so it is called a chicken cylinder cup.
This chicken bowl cup is decorated with a set of patterns on the rooster, hen leading the chicken cubs to feed in the field, the rooster guards with his head high, the hen bows his head to peck at insects, and the three chicken cubs around him raise their heads and spread their wings, the picture is warm, showing the joy of family.
The other group is still a male and a female, two big chickens and three chicks, but the pattern is a hen and insects fighting, one cub cheers for it, alarming the rooster to look back, revealing concern, and the other two chicks are playing on their own, leisurely.
The two groups of hens are intertwined with lake stones, orchids and peonies, which are sparse and clear.
The cup is pure white, and there is a blue and white book on the sole of the foot "Ming Chenghua Year" six-character regular script, plus two columns.
The fetal quality is white and delicate, light, thin and transparent, and the white glaze is smooth and soft, the inside and outside are the same.
Red crown, flowers, green leaves, clear water, bluestone, yellow feathers, etc., with black, brown, red and other colors, using many traditional techniques in porcelain, or light dyeing and deep drawing, or two-color overlapping, the color matching is exquisite, the shade is suitable, bright and elegant.
"It's indeed a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, your eyesight is really good." After reading it, Huo Xuetong said, and handed it to Quan Shengnan.
All the Chenghua Doucai that has been handed down is all used by the court.
It is because when this batch of porcelain was fired, all the top products were put into the court, and the defective products were destroyed, and the number that has been handed down is extremely rare.
The preciousness of Chenghua Doucai led to the prevalence of imitations in later generations, and there were many Doucai in the Qing Dynasty.
Similarly, because the Doucai chicken bowl cups handed down in the Qing Dynasty are unknown, plus the counterfeiting of later generations...... Ahem, it's an imitation.
Many craftsmen in the country have a very high level of imitation technology, almost with the fake, ancient porcelain, imitations in the market is difficult to distinguish its authenticity, I don't know how many appraisal masters because of this.
Quan Shengnan played for a moment and said with a smile: "The "Records of Shenzong" during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty recorded: 'Shenzong is fashionable food, and there is a pair of Chenghua colored chicken bowl cups in front of the emperor, which is worth 100,000 yuan'. Although this chicken bowl cup is not used by Emperor Shenzong, its price is not trivial, at present, it is at least tens of millions. ”
"You're not short of money, do you want to send it to auction?" Huo Xuetong smiled back.
"I'm not short of money at all, so I don't have to sell the artifacts. But sometimes when I think about it, selling an antique and making a lot of profits, I don't know how many people in need I can help, and I am a little shaken. Kwon Seung-nam sighed.
By now, she really didn't know what to do with the collection in her hands.
Think about it carefully, a chicken bowl cup can only be kept for collection and appreciation, no one uses it to drink, sell, make a profit of tens of millions at this time, make a profit of tens of millions after a few years, and make a profit of hundreds of millions after 20 years.
Tens of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, how many good deeds can be done with this money?
Compared with her previous life, her background and status have changed a lot, but the only thing that has not changed is her heart to do good.
Huo Xuetong listened to her thoughts and comforted: "There will always be a way to get the best of both worlds." ”
"Hopeful!" Quan Shengnan said, put the chicken bowl cup into the box and sealed it, and then placed it on the empty seat next to it.
The things I bought today were placed at Huo Xuetong's residence, and Huo Xuetong sent her back to Arthur's other house to pick up her luggage, because their itinerary was arranged in the next few days, and it was more convenient to live together.
