Chapter 566 Xuande Mandarin Duck Flower Bowl!
Wangjing City is no longer unfamiliar to Lin Ran, but except for Yang Jianlong's invitation, he really can't enter this community.
The security guard guarding the gate of the community seems to declare the unbridgeable gap between the poor and the rich.
As the vehicle slowly drove into the community, Lin Ran also secretly made up his mind to make Shengshi Craftsman a nationally renowned chain brand and prove it to Yuan Qianyun's father.
Zheng Xueming's family.
Zheng Xueming was sitting on the sofa chatting with a friend. When she heard the door being opened, she looked back and couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Lin, you're here!" Zheng Xueming stood up immediately.
"Brother Zheng, how are you lately?" Lin Ran returned the greeting, and then found a familiar figure in the living room.
He was a little surprised. Before he opened his mouth, the other party had already greeted him first.
"Long time no see, Brother Lin."
Standing in front of the sofa is Jiang Hua, the boss of Liulicang!
The gathering of two major literary and entertainment tycoons in Beijing would be a big event that would cause a sensation in the industry.
After Yang Jianlong introduced Lin Ran to his home, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Zheng Xueming invited Lin Ran to sit next to him.
"Master Jiang, I didn't expect to see you here." Lin Ran bowed slightly to Jiang Hua to show respect, Jiang Hua also nodded, and they took their seats together.
"Both of you are my best friends. To be honest with Brother Lin, Brother Jiang specifically asked me to call you here today."
"Oh?" This sentence aroused Lin Ran's interest. The two big guys wanted to see him, so there must be something important.
Zheng Xueming stood up and poured Lin Ran a cup of tea.
The tea leaves of Zheng Xueming's family are all high-quality tea leaves, and the fragrance that comes to your face is refreshing.
Coupled with the exquisite tea sets on the coffee table, it is even more pleasing to the eye.
After sitting down, Lin Ran noticed that there was a tray on the coffee table with something wrapped in red cloth.
Jiang Hua then unveiled the red cloth, and it turned out to be a Xuande blue and white bowl!
The moment Lin Ran saw the colorful bowl, his eyes widened.
Xuande porcelain is famous for its simplicity and elegance. In particular, its glaze color is changeable, the overall crystal is translucent, and its patterns are rich. It is an evergreen tree in the collection world.
The porcelain bowl in front of me can be called the best among blue and white porcelain.
It completely demonstrates the characteristics of blue and white porcelain.
For example, on the mandarin duck on the bowl, the top feathers of the male mandarin duck are painted with dark brown and light green colors, but the style of the neck is changed, using dark red to embellish the feathers, and finally covered with red color, and the beak is hooked with red color.
Not to mention the variety of colors, the artist's work alone shows that the eyes and wings are painted with blue and white, and the two fan-shaped third-level flight feathers are outlined with blue and white double outlines, and the lines are filled with light brown color.
It is precisely what is recorded in Shen Defu's "My Broomstick Yu Tan" that "the kilns of this dynasty were decorated with five colors of blue and white, which is the best in ancient and modern times, and the Xuan kiln products are the most expensive."
"Brother Lin, what do you think of this Xuande blue and white multicolored bowl?" The three of them are industry insiders, so there is no need to beat around the bush, so Jiang Hua asked directly.
From the appearance, it should be genuine.
However, there are very few Xuande porcelains in existence, and there is not a lot of appraisal experience. Most masters on the market will refuse to appraise Xuande porcelain. If they make a mistake, their reputation will be greatly affected.
Therefore, most small appraisal houses do not dare to accept Xuande porcelain.
On the one hand, they cannot afford high turnover costs.
On the other hand, fake Xuande porcelain is rampant. If you buy fakes, you will lose more than you gain.
There are very few masters on the market who can identify Xuande porcelain.
Lin Ran was naturally not sure and asked, "Can you let me have a look?"
"Please." Jiang Hua personally handed the bowl to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran touched the patterns on it and exclaimed: "It is indeed the Xuande craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty!"
"You also believe that this is an authentic product, right?" Jiang Hua smiled, "Brother Zheng and I talked for a long time just now, and I think there is a high probability that it is an authentic product. With your confirmation, Brother Lin, we feel more at ease."
Since this bowl was worth a lot of money, there were very few people in the city who knew how to appreciate Xuande porcelain, so I thought of Zheng Xueming and called Lin Ran over to catch up on old times. I hadn't seen him for a while.
However, Lin Ran did not draw a conclusion directly.
Instead, he frowned, touched the back of the bowl, and then touched the front of the bowl.
Something doesn't feel right.
Seeing Lin Ran's expression, Zheng Xueming was about to ask what was wrong, but Jiang Hua made a silent gesture.
In the past, he had purchased cultural relics directly from Lin Ran, but this was the first time he saw him appraise them in person.
After his reminder, Zheng Xueming remained silent and observed from the side.
After Lin Ran's repeated confirmation, he discovered a strange crack among the many lines.
Then he touched along the crack, and Lin Ran was suddenly shocked.
How could someone do this?What a genius!
"Master Jiang, I'm afraid what you bought is not genuine." Lin Ran sighed, but he was not purely regretful, but amazed!
"Why did Brother Lin say this?" Jiang Hua was surprised by the identification result.
He and the master in the shop have repeatedly confirmed that the age of the ceramics should be the Ming Dynasty. Even if it is not the Xuande period, it should be a similar year.
Many old masters also gave the same answer, and Lin Ran was the only one who thought he was a fake.
"I think you called us here because you were suspicious, right?" Lin Ran asked back.
Jiang Hua laughed: "It seems that Brother Lin also discovered that the touch of this bowl is not right."
"Exactly, look here..." Lin Ran pointed to the edge of the pattern. There was a crack that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
"Well, according to the seller, it may be cracks left by collisions." Jiang Hua said, "There will be more or less flaws in ancient ceramics."
"You are looking at this pattern." Lin Ran raised the bowl. Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua couldn't sit still and leaned over.
This is a blue and white porcelain pattern, colored in dark green, depicting the head of a mandarin duck.
"Is there something wrong here?" They looked for a long time without any clue.
"Don't look at the color, look at the painting." Lin Ran gently traced the joint between the mandarin ducks' necks with his fingers.
The two of them were confused at first, but after Lin Ran repeated the action again and again, they finally realized it.
"This is a crack!"
"Exactly!" Lin Ran said: "This craftsman is so good. He can perfectly integrate the cracks into the painting. Even with a magnifying glass, there is no problem."
The reason why he thought of this was because he heard a legend in later generations.
Unexpectedly, I actually saw his work today!
