Chapter 48 Cloisonne
“Yo, Mr. Tang.
"Uncle, don't be polite." Tang Feng pulled out a big harvest and held it in his hand. He said, "It's better to be serious. Do you have anything to see?"
The old man said, "It's a copper jar that is endless."
A copper jar with flowers that are not smooth and autumn? Tang Feng’s first feeling was cloisonné. He asked, “Where did you get it from?”
"Oh, there is no fire, right?" The old man stretched out his big hand like a pineapple and handed the lighter with the fire to Tang Feng. There was no way to refuse. Tang Feng put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it. The old man said, "That thing was collected when I collected the scrap.
”
"Cough cough cough!" I don't know if the old man's words were too shocking or the inferior cigarettes were too choking. Tang Feng almost got angry when he collected the scraps. How fresh was it? Even if the whole people collected them, antiques would not be brought like this. No matter what, everyone came to him, and Tang Feng had to find out what was going on. He asked the old man, "Have you brought the things?"
The old man said, "It's right in my car, oh, my car is not locked yet, let's go outside to see it."
Tang Feng said, "Bian. Why don't you bring it in?"
The old man immediately shook his head and said, "It's time for the black dog to come. The car will be collected but it won't be taken out." Alas. Do you think this common people are harming their words? People are urban management and civil servants. How can they compare with dogs? Or black dogs!
Tang Feng nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay. Let's take a look."
Tang Feng just arrived at the door and ran into Lin Muyu who came back from outside. She asked Tang Feng, "Tang Feng. Are you going out?"
"I'm at the door." Tang Feng greeted Lin Muyu and followed the old man out of the store. There was a swollen snakeskin pocket on the tricycle. The old man took out a colorful eight-petal melon-edged jar from the snakeskin pocket. The melon-edged jar is easy to identify. It looks like a big round pumpkin. Tang Feng took this melon-edged jar | pressing his hands. It's a bit weight. Tang Feng guessed it right. This is a cloisonné. Cloisonné is also known as "copper body filigree: Lang". It is a type of Lang Instrument; many people don't understand it. In fact, it was very common in daily life in the early years. The making process of enamel basins and enamel bowls is similar to that of Lang Instrument.
The cloisonné ground production uses bronze and porcelain techniques, and incorporates traditional hand-painting and carving techniques. It is a unique metal craft combining porcelain and copper. It is a unique Chinese traditional craft. To make cloisonné, you must first use copper to make a tire and then paint on it; then use copper wire to stick the corresponding patterns on the copper tire according to the drawn pattern. Silver welding powder is on the sieve and fired in a 900-degree high-temperature furnace. The copper wire pattern is firmly welded to the copper tire. This process is called filigree.
After the filigree is finished, there is a patterned frame made of copper wire on the copper body. Then add the shaved material to the frame and fire it in the furnace. This is repeated until the filler is parallel to the filigree pattern, so the glaze of cloisonné is generally very thick. After repeated grinding and repeated sintering and polishing, it is considered a finished product of cloisonné, and the good cloisonné must be gilded in the end.
The manufacturing history of cloisonné can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty and became popular during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. It was also called cloisonné because blue was used at that time. To be honest, the father and son De and Jingtai were really interesting. They both like to make bronze ware one out of Xuande furnace and the other out of cloisonné. Today's ordinary people probably only have the impression of them on these two things.
People don’t care about the glory of the glory in their entire lives. They don’t even smell the bones after they die. The key is to keep something that makes people remember.
The glaze of cloisonné is very thick, with a stable structure and is not easy to wear. This eight-petal melon-edge jar is natural and smooth, with rich glaze color and saturated softness, and has good quality preservation. The underside of the jar is light gray-blue, and the main pattern is a yellow dragon and colorful phoenix opera bead picture. The yellow dragon is imposing and vigorous and powerful. The colorful phoenix is elegant and lifelike. The auxiliary patterns around the main pattern are various flowers such as tangled lotus flowers, chrysanthemums and other colors. The bottom of this melon-edge jar has a four-character regular script style "Made in Xianheng Nian", which looks very similar to the late Qing Dynasty: Lang products.
Of course, there are obvious flaws on this cloisonné eight-petal melon-edged jar. There is a clearly identifiable trachoma inside the copper tire, which means that the copper contains a lot of impurities, not good copper. Moreover, the copper tire of this cloisonné is not copper, but brass, and its value is greatly reduced. Like porcelain, cloisonné is constantly produced once it was released. It is a traditional export craft in my country. This situation has continued to this day. Most of the cloisonné on the market are new crafts, and only a small part are old products from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period; the best cloisonné is of course the products from the Ming Dynasty Jingtai period. If it appears, it will be a national treasure.
When the old man saw that Tang Feng had almost seen it, he asked quickly: "How is it? Is it an antique?"
This old man is also very pitiful. On the cold day, he was riding a tricycle to collect waste all over the streets. He put clothes one by one, which was bloated but not warm. He kept rubbing his sleeves with his clear nose, and a yellowed Jiefang shoe.
A big hole appeared, revealing the old velvet socks inside. He was like a poor person who had been living his life, and dreamed of miracles. In the past, they wanted to win the lottery, but now they hoped to pick up a national treasure if they were not careful to get rid of the fate of generations of poverty. However, if fate is so easy to change, it is not called fate. This cloisonne is obviously not a national treasure. Tang Feng nodded and said, "Master, this thing can be regarded as an antique."
When the old man heard Tang Feng's words, he immediately became happy. He couldn't hide his excitement and asked Tang Feng, "Look at how much this thing is worth."
Tang Feng frowned and said, "Uncle, although this thing is indeed an antique, it is not long enough. It is just a copy of the Republic of China period, and it is worth at most 20,000 yuan."
"Sir." A passerby happened to see the cloisonne in Tang Feng's hand. He said to Tang Feng: "Can you show me this thing?"
This passerby was in his thirties and had a national-shaped face that looked like Yao Ming, which gave people a very decent feeling. Tang Feng nodded and said, "No problem."
Although it is only worth 20,000 yuan, the old man was still very happy. He said, "Oh, it's so good. I've picked up a big leak." For ordinary people, 20,000 yuan is a big number. The old man can't make so much money even if he worked hard for a year.
While looking at the cloisonne with a Chinese face, he asked the old man, "Uncle, how much did you collect this thing?"
The old man said: "I just came here as a trashed iron. There is an alley in Xuanwu District that is about to be demolished. A family sold waste when moving, and this thing was included."
"Haha." Tang Feng said, "Uncle, then I want to congratulate you."
"Hehe, luck, luck." People are happy to meet. The old man's thin facial muscles were like the dry and cracked land moistened by rain. They suddenly stretched out. After looking at the cloisonné face, he looked up and asked Tang Feng, "Sir, what do you think?"
Tang Feng kept his word, and he replied: "What do you think of the imitation of Qing cloisonné in the Republic of China?"
"Yes." The national face nodded and said, "It was indeed from the Republic of China period.
"Fortunately, he was talking about the Republic of China period. He dared to say that it was from the Ming Dynasty. Tang Feng had to slap him. There was a very different difference. Those who knew a little could tell that it was not a mistake to swell their faces. If they were wrong, they were just pretending to be fat.
The old man asked Tang Feng happily: "Mr. Tang, do you want this thing? I'll sell it to you for 20,000 yuan. The people don't trust experts now, just believe you." The old man's words suddenly represented the people. This was purely a high hat for Tang Feng, and it had nothing to do with Tang Feng's image.
Tang Feng didn't want it, and it couldn't raise the value of this thing, but he couldn't bear to disappoint the old man. He said, "If you want to sell it, I can ask for it, it's okay to have 20,000 yuan."
"Okay." said the old man, "Then we'll make a deal."
"Uncle, wait first." said the national face: "This thing costs more than 20,000 yuan."
The old man immediately said to the national face: "This gentleman is kind-faced and looks like a loyal person at first glance. Tell me, how much is this thing worth?" The Chinese people are turning quickly.
The national face said seriously: "At least it is worth 30,000 yuan, right? This thing is a time-honored brand made in the Republic of China period. It was produced by 'Old Tianli', and it is much higher than that of the average cloisonné in the Republic of China." During the Republic of China period, there were time-honored brands such as "Old Tianli" and "Dexingcheng". The cloisonné they made was extremely fine, with quality and quantity guaranteed, and the price was higher.
Usually someone comes to find fault, Jie and Tang Feng will definitely not be happy, but today is different. He said: "How did you see it?"
The national face said: "Although the yellow color of this yellow dragon is not as bright as that of Qianlong Huang, it is more beautiful than the ordinary Republic of China Huang. It must be from the time-honored brand. The best yellow in the Republic of China is of course God's benefit." The national face is very knowledgeable. The grading of cloisonné is generally judged from the color. The colors in the Ming Dynasty were the best, followed by the middle Qing Dynasty, and the worst in the Republic of China. For convenience, people in the industry use the abbreviation. This is how the Ming Dynasty Bai, Qianlong Huang came from, and Qianlong Huang. Both the craftsmanship requirements of Qianlong Huang and Qianlong Bai are very high.
, it was not imitated during the Republic of China. To be honest, the yellow color of this eight-petal melon-edged jar is really higher than that of the ordinary cloisonné during the Republic of China.
"Well, this" the old man was not concerned about the Ming Dynasty or the Republic of China most. He was more concerned about the price. He said to the national face: "Do you want it?"
With a national face, he looked at Tang Feng and said, "How can you be so embarrassed?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Feng said quickly: "I don't really want it when you talk about you."
With apologized, he said with a Chinese face: "Then I really want it."
Tang Feng smiled and said, "You guys talk, I'll take a step first." After Tang Feng finished speaking, he turned around and walked into China Stone.
Tang Feng left, and the old man left with the Chinese-shaped face looked at each other, with a confused face. The old man stomped his feet and said, "All 20,000 yuan has been fooled, why are you going to cause trouble?"
