Chapter 558 Dou Cai and Dou Cai
While listening to Zhang Boyang talking about the backflow pot, Chen Yang looked at him. This Boyang is not simple. He can describe the backflow pot so clearly, which shows that he still has a certain degree of discernment. He also doesn’t know what the remaining two items are.
Looking at Zhang Boyang's appearance, Chen Yang didn't have much hope for the second antique. This guy must be able to tell. It seems that he has to bet on the last one. I wonder if he can tell.
After Zhang Boyang told everyone about the backflow pot, everyone commented, "I can't believe that the ancients actually had such wisdom!"
"Let me see, this backflow pot that Boss Chen picked up is really a good item!"
"If Boss Chen hadn't picked up this thing, I wouldn't have known there was such an object. I've gained so much knowledge!"
"Zhang's eyesight is also very good. He was able to describe this object in such detail. He's so awesome!"
While everyone was discussing, Zhang Bo smiled at Chen Yang and said, "Brother Chen, I'll do the second item first. I want to see what good treasures you missed!"
After speaking, Zhang Boyang directly opened Chen Yang's second antique and saw a Doucai Moon Bottle on the table.
The porcelain vase has a skimmed mouth and a short neck. The neck is decorated with symmetrical Kui dragon ears, a flat belly, and a circle foot. The interior is turquoise green glaze. The decoration of this vase is outlined with blue and white, and then filled with various colors of glaze. Each side of the body is vividly decorated. It depicts a five-clawed swimming dragon writhing on the sea water of a river cliff, and a young dragon accompanying it, which constitutes the meaning of the blue dragon teaching his son. The outer bottom is decorated with the words "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" in blue and white seal script on the turquoise green glaze.
The moon-holding vase has a regular shape, a broad belly, and small feet. The junction between the feet and the belly is particularly narrow, so it is difficult to place it in the kiln when firing. In addition, the flat body of the vessel makes it inherently unstable. The larger the volume, the greater the number of firing problems. For a product as perfect as this one, one can imagine the hardships and obstacles involved in the kiln firing process.
The decoration is majestic, the quality is first-class, and the work is majestic. It can be seen at a glance that it is a representative work of the official kiln during the Qianlong period.
"This... how is this possible?" Zhang Boyang was confused for a moment. In front of him was a Doucai Canglong Godson Tukui Dragon Ear Holding Moon Vase from the Qianlong Period.
Zhang Boyang exclaimed and moved closer to the moon bottle to take a closer look. The people watching could not help but let out bursts of surprise.
"The Doucai Canglong Godson Picture Kui Dragon Ears Holding the Moon Vase? How is this possible? Isn't this object in the Palace Museum?"
"How lucky is this Chen Yang to be able to find such a treasure in such an antique street?"
"I don't think so. First of all, this Doucai Canglong Godson Tu Kui Dragon Ears Holding the Moon vase is much smaller than the one from Shoubo. It may be a fake, I can't say for sure."
"That's right, it's the only one in the country. How could there be a second one!"
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was fond of holding the moon vase most. There are only two pieces of this colorful Canglong Godson-embracing Kui dragon ear holding the moon vase. One is now in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing. It is 49.5 cm high. The composition is slightly different, with the body shape of a young dragon. It is small, and part of its body is immersed in sea water. It is included in the complete collection of cultural relics and treasures collected by the Palace Museum, "Colorful Colors."
Another piece, after being sold at the Guardian Auction House in Hong Kong for HK$1995 million in 816, has not appeared in circulation for 28 years. In the 2023 Guardian Spring Auction - "Colorful Douyan - Three Treasures of Qianlong Imperial Porcelain", the Qianlong-themed live auction, this Doucai Canglong Godson Picture Kui Dragon Ear Holding the Moon Vase once again appeared in front of the world, selling for 8 million The bidding started in Hong Kong dollars, and after half an hour of bidding, it was finally sold for 1.39 million yuan.
The Doucai Canglong Godson Tukui Dragon Ears Holding the Moon vase in front of me is only about 20 centimeters high, which is obviously a smaller version of the two pieces.
Antiques such as the Doucai Canglong Godson Picture Kui Long Er Holding the Moon Vase can be regarded as orphans. How could they appear on street stalls so easily? Although it was much smaller than the other two pieces, Chen Yang could still tell that it was an official kiln from the Qianlong period.
"How's it going?" Chen Yang hugged his shoulders and looked at Zhang Boyang with a smile, "Brother Zhang Xian, you have to take a good look and don't get blinded!"
"Let me tell you, this object is in the first blog and has never been seen outside. Even if your judgment is wrong, it actually doesn't have much to do with it. There is nothing you can do about it. Who gave me good luck..."
Zhang Boyang watched and listened to Chen Yang's words, and the more he listened, the more angry he became. Is this guy coming for a treasure fight or a quarrel?
But he is really lucky. There is only one thing like this in the whole country. If you want to identify the authenticity, you have to rely on your daily skills. Although you cannot see the exact same objects, you can only learn from other objects from the same period, which is a test of your eyesight.
For example, the dragon pattern characteristics, the characteristics of the dragon pattern during the Qianlong period, the pig nose characteristics of the dragon head began to fade, the longer dragon head is obviously the more charitable style of the old dragon head, and the beard has also undergone very obvious changes. The style of the dragon's eyes has also changed from the long and narrow ones of Kangxi to round ones, which can better reflect the domineering and majestic nature of the ruler; the dragon's claws are usually in a stretched and open state.
Zhang Boyang looked down at the moon bottle, and suddenly he discovered a problem. There was a crack where the bottle body and the bottleneck were connected. After careful inspection, Zhang Boyang smiled, and it turned out that it was a defective product.
"There are traces of repair between the neck and the body of the bottle," Zhang Boyang glanced sideways at Chen Yang, "This one of yours is a defective product."
Chen Yang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold the moon bottle, "Don't worry about whether it is a defective product. Even if it is a defective product, it is still a matter of condition. Let's talk about the result first."
Zhang Boyang clapped his hands and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Although you, Chen Yang, have good eyesight, my eyesight is not worse than yours. If I can't see this object, why should I compete with you.
"Doucai Canglong Godson Tu Kui Dragon Ear Moon Vase, open the door, Qianlong official kiln!" Zhang Boyang looked at the moon vase in front of him and said firmly, "It is broken, otherwise Brother Chen would really have picked up a big leak! "
It turned out to be an official kiln. Everyone couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Chen Yang. Chen Yang was so lucky. Although this object was damaged and repaired, it was better than nothing!
Next, we have to look at Chen Yang. When Chen Yang uncovered the cloth, everyone laughed. Chen Yang looked at Zhang Boyang, and they both laughed at the same time.
The one in front of Chen Yang was also a doucai from the Qianlong period. It was a horseshoe bowl with a doucai group pattern. It was so interesting to see the doucai against the doucai.
The horseshoe bowl has a deep mouth and a shallow inside with a round foot. It is shaped like an inverted horseshoe, so it is called a horseshoe bowl.
Chen Yang took the bowl in his hand and looked at it again. Zhang Boyang knew in his heart that Chen Yang could even see the Doucai Canglong Godson Picture Kui Dragon Ear Holding the Moon Vase from the Qianlong period. This bowl could not stop him. If he wanted to win, Let’s look at the last object.
"Qianlong Doucai Horseshoe Bowl. The decoration of this bowl imitates the Zicheng Doucai Cup. The bowl body is light and thin, the glaze is moist, and the decoration is painted with Doucai technique."
Chen Yang showed it to everyone while holding the horseshoe bowl, "The main body of the outer wall is painted with five flowers in four colors: blue, red, green, and yellow, with broken pomegranates dotted in between, and variant Ruyi patterns near the feet. The decorations on the vessel are properly laid out, and the color filling is fine. The underglaze blue and white flowers and the overglaze colors complement each other, creating a beautiful scene from left to right."
"The blue and white script on the bottom of the bowl reads "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" with six characters and three lines of seal script inscriptions, and the font is correct."
Having said this, Chen Yang put the bowl on the table, raised his hands to Zhang Boyang and clasped his fists, "Congratulations to Brother Zhang Xian for picking up a missing Qianlong official kiln doucai horseshoe bowl!"
Then came the third item. When Chen Yang lifted the cover of the last object in front of him, everyone took a look and grinned. Everyone was playing with antiques. This object was a fake at first glance. This was obviously Give Chen Yang points!
When he saw the object in front of him, Chen Yang was slightly startled, and turned around to look at Zhang Boyang, "Little boy, do you still dare to say that you didn't cheat?"
In 1994, how could you possibly pick up this object on the antique street?
