"Xing Kiln was one of the seven famous kilns in the porcelain industry in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was also the earliest kiln in northern China to fire white porcelain. It gradually developed and prospered, forming two major systems of southern Qing Dynasty and northern white porcelain, which competed with each other for the Tang Dynasty.

The rise of white porcelain and the development of colored porcelain laid the foundation."

"With the wars in the mid-Tang Dynasty and the subsequent Five Dynasties, the production volume of Xing kiln porcelain dropped rapidly, and finally it went into decline."

"However, its craftsmanship was also brought to various regions due to the war and the kiln workers dispersed, eventually forming many kiln mouths."

"In the Northern Song Dynasty, Xing Kiln still offered white porcelain as tribute. Judging from the quality of porcelain from the Song Dynasty, the texture and color of the products were mostly yellow, but the workmanship was quite fine and had the rigorous style of Xing Kiln."

Having said this, Mr. Zhang gently buttoned the plate: "You can tell from the sound that this disk is thin and solid. The bottom of the plate is engraved with lotus patterns. The glaze color is a slightly pink tooth white, and the bottom is exposed.

, the tire soil is reddish brown made from yellow mud, and is covered with two layers of white clay decorative soil. The tire soil is washed clean, with few impurities, the body is very thin, and the whiteness is relatively high. After a layer of transparent glaze is applied, it is reflected

The color is already very white, similar to Lu Yu's description of Xing kiln as "like silver" and "like snow".

"But later there were many white porcelains fired at the kiln entrance. How could they not be imitations?"

"Post-imitation must also follow the rules." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "The famous white porcelain at the kiln entrance after Xing Kiln is Ding Kiln White in the Song Dynasty, Egg White in the Yuan Dynasty, Yongle Sweet White in the Ming Dynasty, and Ivory White in Dehua."

"Among them, Ding kiln white porcelain has a white body, a solid texture, and a glaze as moist as jade, with a slight yellow flash in the white. On the basis of using saggers, an over-firing technology was created, which increased the output of porcelain, but the plates and bowls were

When over-fired, there will be awning and hanging glaze phenomena."

"Including carvings, Ding kiln carvings have carved decorations, with rough and powerful lines; there are scratched decorations, with fine and smooth lines. The expression is more mature than the current plate."

"The egg white glazed porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is the general name for the white glazed porcelain created and fired by the JDZ kiln. The base usually has the inscription of the Privy Council, so the egg white glaze is also called the Privy Council porcelain. The carcass of the egg white glazed porcelain is generally thicker and the glaze is devitrified.

Shape, white and slightly bluish in color, just like the color of duck egg shells, so it is called 'egg white'. It is obviously inconsistent with the style of this small plate."

"The pure white glaze of Mingde Hua kiln has a particularly pure glaze color. From the appearance, the color is smooth and bright, milky white like curdled fat; under the light, pink or milky white appears in the glaze, so it is called lard white or ivory white.

It is similar to the glaze color of this small dish, but the Dehua kiln has a white body, which is very different from the body quality of Tang and Song porcelain."

"The sweet white glaze of Yongle kiln is even thinner than this small bowl. Many of them are so thin that they are half-embodied and can be seen by light."

"Similarly, the sweet white glaze is also white. This is the biggest difference from this small bowl."

"So generally speaking, this white porcelain bowl is still a characteristic of the Xing kiln, but the glaze color and pattern also have some characteristics of the Yue kiln."

"There is a more important point." Mr. Zhang pointed to the green-brown glaze text on the inner circle of the bottom of the bowl: "The characters here are first picked out with bamboo sticks and then written with glaze. This is also the case with Yue kiln porcelain before the Yuan Dynasty.

common techniques."

"So judging from the style of the kiln entrance, this white porcelain plate first has the characteristics of the late Xing kiln style, and then it also has some characteristics of the Yue kiln porcelain of the Five Dynasties."

"It is an eclectic mix of north and south. Although the kilns in central Sichuan currently do not have a definite Tang Dynasty white porcelain kiln mouth, many kiln mouths from the Five Dynasties before Shu to the Song Dynasty do have such characteristics."

"Is there any last possibility?" Lao Chai said: "I'm not questioning the vision of Mr. Zhang and Teacher Xiao Zhou. I'm just asking for advice. Why is it not like my celestial ball bottle, which is a later imitation but not imitation?

Something like this?"

Mr. Sun and Zhou Zhi looked at each other and laughed together.

Mr. Sun laughed and said: "Even if this thing falls in the eyes of the old man, at most he will regard it as a white porcelain lotus leaf folded small bowl from the Xing kiln in the late Tang Dynasty. It is said that there were no official kilns before the Song Dynasty, and the price has not risen at all.

, it’s not worth spending so much effort to imitate something like this.”

"What's more, this small plate has the patina of ancient porcelain. You will know it is something with a big door when you first touch it. If you don't believe it, use a magnifying glass to check the bubbles on the glaze. The size and density are natural, the body red is excessive, and the distance and depth are equally natural. Over the years,

The smoothness of the glaze surface is reduced due to slight corrosion, which will give the porcelain a 'precious light'."

"Recognizing the true and false 'baoguang' of porcelain is a vision and instinct that can only be developed through years of playing with it."

"When all these elements are combined together, there is no conflict or contradiction at all. In the eyes of me and Jiuzi, this kind of thing can be called 'open door' in three words."

While Mr. Sun and Zhou Zhi were appreciating this plate, XCMG had been inspecting it with a small, high-power magnifying glass.

Mr. Sun smiled and said: "This is a rare opportunity. Xiao Xu, please give me the magnifying glass to show to a few of them. I'm ashamed to say that if I don't have the elbow to remind me of this object, I will underestimate its value."

After saying that, he asked Zhou Zhi: "Elbow, is this going to come out?"

"I estimate that your art department will collect this for the museum. It can be regarded as a gift I brought to Manager Fei." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But the price still has to be right."

"You kid!" Mr. Sun said with a smile: "The tip is not here, then I will take care of it."

I looked through the small plate again: "As you said, this small plate really has no reference value. If we compare it with the price of a Xing kiln leek powder pile Japanese horn square plate with a floral pattern and a Tang Dynasty inscription, eh

, the number of 12,000, the old man will raise it for you, add 3,000, it is considered as a bet that this is Dayi white porcelain that has not yet been determined, what do you think?"

This thing was originally used by Zhou Zhi as a favor to Manager Fei. Although if it were kept for another twenty or thirty years, this thing could easily cost millions. But having said that, he would exchange the twelve thousand earned for a Ming and Qing official

Kiln porcelain, no matter which piece is kept for twenty or thirty years, can easily cost millions.

What's more, this thing is almost the same now, so he didn't worry about it and just smiled and said: "The value of this thing in the Sichuan Provincial Museum is probably far greater than the value in the hands of a private collector, so Mr. Sun said

It’s how much it is, I don’t have any objection.”

"Okay! I'm a happy kid." Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Let him treat you to dinner when the tip comes back!"

"Hey, that's right, where has Manager Fei been? Why can't he see anyone?"

"Stop talking about him. He is not doing his job every day. Come and continue to look at the things you brought."

Lao Chai made eye contact with several other enthusiasts: "Uh, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xiao Zhou, we have a gracious invitation..."

"What?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"That's it..." Lao Chai thought about his words: "Look, Mr. Zhang, we won't talk about this white porcelain plate, but these few remaining pieces... haven't they been put into storage yet? We were thinking

, can you give us all a break?"

"Huh?" Mr. Zhang was laughing and laughing, and subconsciously pulled the white porcelain lotus leaf plate in front of him: "You are here to rob Gongmei?"
