This Cong-shaped bottle is a work of the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. This bottle is made of jade cong, and the glaze medicine used is also unique. After a touch of green, the whole bottle presents a thick and deep color. The bottle also has crisscrossing openings, which makes the entire cong-shaped bottle full of a royal, majestic and heavy atmosphere.

Such bottles were very popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the Qing dynasties, Kangxi and Yongzheng periods. Because the Central Plains dynasty had already lost control of the Western Regions during the Ming dynasty, the best jade was very scarce.

This jade cong decoration that became popular in the Han Dynasty also became very rare due to the scarcity of raw materials.

Therefore, in the early Qing Dynasty, in order to please the emperor, the eunuchs in the palace building office often burned some cong-shaped bottles to please the ruling class.

Jin Muchen had seen such cong-shaped bottles in several large museums in China before. However, those cong-shaped bottles were all works from the early Qing Dynasty without exception.

However, those Cong-shaped bottles are very different from the one in front of you. Because white porcelain and blue-white porcelain were popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of them appear in the form of white porcelain as the base and blue-white as the glaze.

The cong-shaped bottle in front of me is just a single sky blue color. In terms of color, it is closer to the color of jade. Moreover, it is the most popular sky blue color in the Song Dynasty, which makes the collection and artistic value of this cong-shaped bottle even higher.

In addition, this Cong-shaped bottle appeared very early. So far, it can be said to be the earliest batch of Cong-shaped bottle porcelain. You should know that the Cong-shaped bottles before this were all made of jade, which makes the collection value of this celadon cong-shaped bottle even higher.

You should know that Hirota Matsuhiko's fame is not very famous in Japan. Although the number of Chinese cultural relics he collected is not as high as that of Yokogawa Minsuke and Takashima Kikujiro, in terms of quality, it is higher than the cultural relics collected by these two people. The reason is his aesthetic vision and his profound understanding of Chinese cultural relics.

This celadon cong-shaped bottle is the most precious of all the Chinese cultural relics he collected. It can be said to be the top work he collected throughout his life, so from this point of view alone, the value of this cong-shaped bottle is immeasurable.

Jin Muchen had also seen such cong-shaped bottles at antique auctions in China before, but most of the cong-shaped bottles were works from the early Qing Dynasty, idiot blue and white cong-shaped bottles, but such cong-shaped bottles. That was auctioned by an auctioneer two or three years ago.

But at that time, such a cong-shaped bottle could be sold at a price of 10 or 20 million yuan, and the value of the one in front of us now is not to mention.

The works of the Southern Song Dynasty official kilns are also celadons. You should know that such porcelains are now added together in China, and there are no more than 500 pieces.

The porcelains from the five major official kilns in the Northern Song Dynasty were even fewer in China.

With such attribute bonus, the value of this cong-shaped bottle can be roughly judged.

According to Jin Muchen's prediction, the value of this cong-shaped bottle is at least two to three times higher than that of those cong-shaped bottles in the early Qing Dynasty.

If you consider the former owner bonus of this cong bottle, then if this cong bottle is sent to the international auction, the price will definitely be higher in the long run.

You should know that in his life, Matsuhiko Hirota has plundered countless cultural relics in China, but the celadon-shaped bottle that represents his highest achievement in collection was not exactly what he plundered in China.

It was bought at an auction in Japan. The original owner of this cong-shaped bottle was also quite impressive.

The original owner of this cong-shaped bottle was in the famous Tokugawa Ieyasu, Japan. This cong-shaped bottle was lost from mainland China to Japan during the Tokugawa Ieyasu era. Finally, it fell into the hands of this shogun, who was known as the great devil in Japan.

Later, it was kept in his house and released for hundreds of years. After the War of the Anti-Magistrate, the Tokugawa family completely lost power in Japan. Although they were not killed by the Anti-Magistrate factions, they were also seriously damaged.

In addition, the strict defense of the anti-straitor factions. Since then, the Tokugawa family has completely lost its power in Japan and has no possibility of revitalizing their family traditions in both the political and business circles.

The descendants of Tokugawa can be said to have been incredibly miserable. Later, most of them changed their names and made a living again. Some of them were guarding this surname and refused to leave the foundation of the family.

But they could only live by relying on the family's old foundation. Since the Showa period, they could not hold on and began to auction the family's assets one after another to survive.

This celadon-shaped bottle happened to flow into the market during the Showa period. At that time, it was a descendant of the Tokugawa family. He couldn't make it, so he took out part of the family's old background for public auction, which caused shock in the Japanese collection industry at that time.

You should know that the Tokugawa family has controlled the Japanese government for hundreds of years, but has accumulated a wealth of unimaginable to ordinary people. Although in the War of the Overthrow of the Invasion, their wealth of their wealth was plundered by the reformists.

But the rotten ship also has three kilograms of nails, not to mention that this is a family that has ruled Japan for hundreds of years?

So at that time, the collection enthusiasts of Japan flocked to the crowd and started fierce competition. At that time, everyone else's eyes were focused on other treasures. Only Hirota Matsuhiko knew the beads with keen eyes and discovered this celadon cong-shaped bottle. It didn't cost much money, so they took it down.

This was also the most proud collection of his life. Later, he invited friends to visit the celadon cong bottle countless times, and boasted countless times about his experience in collecting the celadon cong bottle with his people.

Therefore, the origin and story of this celadon cong-shaped bottle can be said to be well known to all in the Japanese collection industry.

Even Jin Muchen, after going back that day, when checking some allusions, he found this little story online, and couldn't help but sigh that Hirota Matsuhiko's luck was really good enough.

But today this celadon cong bottle is going home instead of staying in this Japanese museum for these damn Japanese to continue playing and watching.

After putting away the celadon-shaped bottle, Jin Muchen continued to walk in. You should know that the porcelain donated by Hirota Matsuhisa to the Tokyo National Museum can be over 200 pieces. Although not all of them are fine products like this celadon-shaped bottle, many of them are very representative works.

For example, the Sky Blue Three-legged Incense Burner he saw next was also produced by the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was also one of the most proud collections of this Guangtian Matsushiro in his life.

You should know that there are two types of collections that Hirota Matsuhiko has most proud in his life, one is the Southern Song Dynasty celadon, and the other is the leak he picked up from Tokugawa's home.

In fact, he also collected a lot of Tang Sancai, but although the quantity of Tang Sancai he collected was not less than that of Yokogawa Minfu, in terms of quality, it was not as good as that of Yokogawa Minfu.

This three-legged incense burner produced by the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty is also one of the most proud collections of this Hiromoto Matsuhisa.

The color is the same as the previous celadon-shaped bottle, and it is both azure-green glaze color. The incense burner also has crisscrossing openings, and at the bottom of the incense burner, you can see many flowing glaze and glaze drops.

Moreover, the size of this three-legged incense burner is more than that of the celadon cong-shaped bottle. After several rounds, it looks very gorgeous and elegant.

But in terms of value, this three-legged incense burner is far less valuable than that cong bottle.

After all, the Cong-shaped bottle is an ancient ornamental instrument and the most popular type in the advanced porcelain market. Although this three-legged incense burner is also produced by the official kiln and is also of high-quality celadon, it is a practical instrument after all. In this case, the price will naturally be much lower than that of the Cong-shaped bottle.

Moreover, the origin of this three-legged incense burner was also boasted by Hirota Matsuhisa many times.

It turned out that it was in 1918 that Guangtian Songhan went to Beijing to collect it. At that time, he was wandering around Liulichang in the capital, and happened to see a farmer setting up a stall to sell this three-legged incense burner.

It’s a pity that he didn’t have much money on him at that time, so he couldn’t buy the incense burner in time. He could only watch the incense burner, which was bought by the owner of an antique shop in Liulichang at that time, spending 100 yuan.

Hirota Matsuhisa was very upset at the time. She returned to Wanguo Hotel and brought enough money, so she came to Boss Ye's store. After all, he had been to Liulichang in Beijing many times and was very familiar with the various stores and owners here.

But his reputation in China was already very bad at this time. Almost all the owners of antique shops in Beijing knew that the evil dog was such a Japanese devil.

So when the boss named Ye saw that the infamous evil dog Hirota Matsuhisa came to discuss business, he simply closed the door.

This made Hirota very upset, so he contacted several local gangsters who often acted as thugs for him to find trouble with Boss Ye. But he didn't expect that Boss Ye was also a tough guy. He had the skills to beat those gangsters up and pissed them.

In the end, Guangtian had no choice but to find several guys from the Black Dragon Club to help from Tianjin.

Unexpectedly, Boss Ye still didn't pee at this pot, and Heilong came to the door without giving face and beat him up. When Guangtian saw that this was awesome, he directly used the old routine and went to the police in the capital to help.

But when the police saw this boss Ye, they didn't dare to take action. If others had used money, they would have done things with each other, but this boss Ye was different. Not only was they old capital city, but they were also good friends with senior officials of the Beiyang government that were so popular at that time. Of course, the police did not dare to offend him.
