Chapter 301 Black Pottery
The owner of the stall is now saving energy to make extra money. He doesn't take care of the village at all. First of all, there are some worthless things. Second, Zhuang Rui is Chinese, and he is not from Beijing. In this way, foreign tourists rarely pay a lot of money to buy things, which is difficult to fool.
After Zhuang Rui took the jar in his hand, he carefully observed it. This is a big belly and thin-mouthed pottery, about 30 centimeters high. The whole body is black and smooth, and there is no decoration on it. It looks a bit like a pot of pickled pickled vegetables in the countryside, which is just one smaller.
However, Zhuang Rui was happy when he got this object. The volume of this thing is not small, but the weight is extremely light. Such a big one weighs or two catties. He reached out and touched the inside of the jar and felt very smooth, without a trace of tricky feeling. Zhuang Rui also confirmed his guess. Zhuang Rui, do you want to buy this slap in the ass? Take it home to pickled salt? Huh, is it so light? It's not made of iron, is it?
Miao Feifei looked at Zhuang Rui holding the jar and looking left and right. As soon as she reached out, she grabbed the mouth of the jar and grabbed it, and knocked it with her hand. The jar made a "dangdang" sound of gold and iron, which was a little like porcelain. Oh, little girl, what you said is wrong. Why do I put a tin jar when I have nothing to do? Let me tell you, this is the late Neolithic black pottery, a live antique..."
After hearing Miao Feifei's words, the stall owner who was quarreling with the foreigners, he turned back and said with great dissatisfaction, and then picked up a bronze ware and said, "The things on my stall are all good objects. This friend, see you are an ex-exist. Look at this bronze ware. It was in the Western Zhou Dynasty The candlestick for lighting is serious and fun.
Zhuang Rui smiled, took the ceramic shoes held by Miao Feifei's hand and put them on the ground, took the bronze candlestick, and said, "Is this thing from Xizhou?"
This candlestick is about half a meter high, and there is a four-legged bracket underneath. Above is a small lotus-shaped bowl held up by lotus leaves. It should be a candle or lamp oil. There are also some engravings on the whole candlestick, covered with green copper rust, which looks like an old object.
Zhuang Rui took his hand and took a look and hurriedly threw it back, as if his hand was stained with dirty things.
"Oh, I said, don't throw it away. This object is very expensive. It is definitely from the Western Zhou Dynasty, no more than the Eastern Zhou Dynasty..." The stall owner was a little dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's behavior. He carefully put the candlestick in front of him, turned his face and talked to a few foreigners. " Zhuang Rui, the things look so old. Maybe they are really from the Zhou Dynasty. Miao Feifei was just about to take it over to have a look, but she didn't expect to be thrown back by Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui showed a very strange look on his face. He looked at Miao Feifei and said, "Western Zhou, do you believe it when he said it was the dinosaur era? Don't be silly, last week's was almost..." "Those copper bowls can't be produced in a day or two..." Miao Feifei didn't believe Zhuang Rui's words. Miss, I have dozens of ways to make such copper rust. Who knows if his thing was put out of the latrine?
While talking, Zhuang Rui rinsed his right hand with the mineral water in his hand. Although he was obsessed with cleanliness, he felt a little disgusted with this old-fashioned method.
Miao Feifei was already dumbfounded. Looking at her hands, she was a little dazed. Over the years, she didn't know how many objects she had touched in Pan's home. Hearing Zhuang Rui's words, she was about to die.
When Zhuang Rui saw Miao Feifei's expression, he smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not all the same way I said. Buried in the earth for a month or two can also have this effect." It's disgusting. Stop it. Let's go." Miao Feifei punched Zhuang Rui angrily, pulled his arm and squeezed out. Oh, don't worry, I still have something to buy.
Zhuang Rui bent down and picked up the clay pot he had just put at his feet. Others did not understand the value of this thing. He knew it clearly, especially after seeing it with Reiki, he was more sure that it was an old original object.
Many friends may not know that pottery is not a unique invention in China. Archaeological discoveries prove that many countries and regions in the world have invented pottery, but China has taken another big step on the basis of pottery... It was the first to invent porcelain and wrote a glorious page in the history of human civilization.
Although porcelain and pottery are two different substances, there is a close relationship between the two. Without the invention of pottery and the experience gained from the continuous improvement of pottery production technology, porcelain cannot be invented alone.
The difference between the two is mainly divided into the following points. First, the firing temperature is different. The firing temperature of pottery is generally lower than that of porcelain, and the highest is no more than ll kernels. The firing temperature of porcelain is relatively high, mostly in l2D I: above, and some even reach the number 1 daggers.
Second, the degree of hardness is different. The firing temperature of the pottery is low, and the billet body is not completely sintered. When tapping, the sound asks. The hardness of the fetus is poor, and some can even cut grooves with a steel knife. The firing temperature of the porcelain is high, the fetal body is basically sintered, the sound is crisp when tapping, and it is difficult to draw grooves on the surface of the fetal body with a general steel-knife.
The third is that the raw materials used are also different. Pottery can be fired with ordinary clay, and porcelain needs to choose specific materials to make blanks on kaolin.
In addition, the transparency and glaze are not the same. There is a big difference between the two, but there is no doubt that pottery precedes porcelain.
Some friends are about to say that, didn't you say that the earlier the antique era, the more valuable it is? This is also not right. Although pottery appeared early, it is relatively simple to burn, and the materials and workmanship are very rough. General pottery, even unearthed in the Neolithic period, is not very valuable, like those pottery pots What's more, no one wants it.
However, everything has two sides. There are also valuables in this pottery, such as red pottery and colored pottery in the Yangshao culture period, black pottery in the Longshan culture period, white pottery in the late Shang Dynasty and glazed pottery in the Han Dynasty. There are many high-quality products in these, and the collection value is very large, but the People are also a relatively small group of people in the antique industry.
No one pursues antiques, and the price naturally can't go up. This is the current situation of pottery. Except for genuine and rare pottery, no one cares about the rest at all.
Zhuang Rui is lucky. The one he is holding in his hand now is really black pottery, as the stall owner said, but it is not the Neolithic period, but the pure black pottery of the Longshan culture period. Zhuang Rui just wiped it with his hand inside the black pottery. On the thin mud and thin wall, it suddenly became dark and bright, and This pottery is extremely thin, a bit like eggshell porcelain, which is the characteristic of Longshan boutique black pottery.
Of course, Zhuang Rui also saw it with Reiki. If it hadn't been for the large amount of purple gas in this pottery pot, Zhuang Rui would not have been so sure. After all, this object was so rare that he didn't expect to meet it on this fake stall.
Black pottery is glaze-free, so it looks a little dim without wiping it, which may also be one of the main reasons for the dust of this object. Of course, for Zhuang Rui, this is a good time to pick up leaks. Others can understand, so what else do you expect to pick up the leaks?
At this time, the stall owner finally understood with the foreigner that the Kangxi blue and white landscape figure lid jar was finally sold for 2,800 yuan. The stall owner took out a very exquisite box and gave the lid can to the foreigner, and then gave it to the money, which was clear.
The foreigner was complacent when he bought something, but he didn't expect that the smiling stall owner was scolding him for being a fool. Two or three hundred yuan to buy two hundred yuan to earn twice as much, which also made the young man in a good mood. Dude, we are just selling our mouths. Boss, how much do you sell this? Seeing that the stall owner was idle, Zhuang Rui asked. Hey, I said, Xixi, you're still fiddling with this thing. If you're optimistic, take it away. I'll give you a cheaper one.
The stall owner will be in a good mood. Although he didn't make a good money, the RMB has gone to his pocket. He glanced at the clay pot and said, "This thing is much earlier than the Kangxi blue and white lid jar, but we are all our own people. I'll give you 3,000 yuan cheaper. What do you think?"
As soon as Zhuang Rui heard this, he immediately showed an angry look and said loudly in Peng Cheng's words, "Who are you fooling? It's okay to fool foreigners, but you still want to fool me? I just want this thing to be rustic. I bought it and put it back in the house. It also seems that we are educated. Boss, you don't want it. I don't want it.
As soon as Zhuang Rui's words fell, there was a contemptuous look around him. Cultural people have always been self-respecting. People who play with collectors pay more attention to an elegant character. What they play is leisure and leisure, and what is cultivated is the human sentiment. Although these things are used to show off, it means that they can only Speaking of Xu Zhuangrui, that is the evaluation of one word: vulgar. Hey, I said, don't go. How much is it? "
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was about to leave, the stall owner was worried. In fact, he was not from Beijing. He just rented a booth here and only set up a stall for a week every month. In other time, he went to various places to collect these things. Of course, he usually went to those antique places to collect them, but when he met something that looked He also collected this pottery jar, which he spent five yuan from the countryside, as if it was used by the family to drink water for the local dog. I'll take 200 yuan..." Zhuang Rui's price was very fierce, and he directly erased a zero.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the stall owner looked sad and said, "Brother, I spent 800 yuan to collect it. Do you want to take it away? I'll give you a real price, 1,000 yuan. If you want, take it away. Don't pull it down..."
P: The second update, I went to the hospital today. I have a low fever. There is nothing wrong with it. Just take some medicine and sleep at night. The old rule is that if you want to update, just vote for the monthly vote... mF
