Seeing this scene, the little cousin felt as if she had been electrocuted all over. Her mouth was open, her face was white, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"His!"
Uncle Xu hissed, stood up and crept closer, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at the object in the mink-haired man's hand, his lips trembling.
"Double-sided yellow!"
"For the emperor!"
What the mink-haired man held in his hand was a shallow round disk with a yellow inside and outside.
The diameter of the disc is only fifteen centimeters and its height is no more than four centimeters. The inner and outer walls are covered with yellow glaze, even the circle feet are no exception.
Under the dazzling white light, the lip-skimming disk shows a true yellow color that is hard to describe in words!
Although I didn’t see the base, I could tell just by looking at the yellow color on the inside and outside of the disc. This disc can only be used by three people.
Emperor, empress, empress dowager!
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were the most stringent regulations on yellow utensils.
The emperor, queen, and queen mother use double-sided yellow dishes, while the imperial concubines, princes, and princesses use single-sided yellow dishes. If there is any transgression, the light one is a board, and the more serious one is an ax.
Double-sided yellow utensils are basically not available on the market, and some are all in museums.
"Qianlong's?"
Uncle Xu asked tentatively in a low voice, his throat a little dry and his eyes never leaving the plate.
"The deposit belongs to Hongji."
The mink-haired man spoke softly, which frightened Uncle Xu to the point of gasping for breath. He stayed in place and did not dare to take a step further.
"Pouring...yellow!"
The mink-haired man smiled at Uncle Xu and gave a thumbs up: "Uncle, you are the one."
Uncle Xu stared at Yuanpan without blinking, his voice trembling: "From this dynasty?"
"this……"
The mink-haired man said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what I said. The answer depends on the instruments of the Fangzhou Identification Center. Haha."
I pursed my lips and smiled, and made a slight gesture with my right hand.
The mink-haired man blinked and put down the disk: "Please."
I didn't rush to get the disk, but stared into the eyes of the mink-haired man. I didn't nod lightly until the mink-haired man took a step back knowingly.
The shape of the skimming disc is very regular, with almost no flaws.
The yellow glaze on the inner and outer walls is very thin, as if only the thinnest layer of oil paint has been applied.
The most impressive thing is that the edge of the disc glaze and the glaze on the bottom of the disc maintain a very neat cut surface integration.
The entire glaze surface, whether it is the outer wall or the inner wall, is very complete and consistent in thickness, and no glaze dripping or exploding spots can be seen.
In the industry, this glazing process is called glaze pouring.
It means that it is poured on.
This kind of glaze pouring technique existed only in one dynasty in China.
Tomorrow!
Hongzhi!
It was the little orphan who was born and hid in the palace after Emperor Chenghua favored the palace maid for six years before Emperor Chenghua found out about it.
Vegetarian maniac, a wise king!
During his eighteen years in office, the entire Ming Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the economy was prosperous, belonging to the rare ZTE era.
Throughout the dynasties, as long as the emperor did not mess around, the people would live a good life.
Emperor Hongzhi did not like chicken cups like his father, but he pursued plain colors, even worse than Yongzheng.
Later scholars called the plain porcelain of the Hongzhi Dynasty the pinnacle of the Chinese yellow glaze.
If this thing is real, it is a well-deserved first-class national treasure.
I didn't pick up the disk and touch and look at it like those veterans in the industry. Instead, I held the disk with both hands and turned it over, looking directly at the bottom.
The bottom surface is covered with white glaze, and in the center is a double-circle blue and white inscription made in the Hongzhi Year of the Ming Dynasty.
On the word "Da Ming", there are also labels and artifact numbers from three foreign auction houses!
"Assistant Child, can this item be inspected?"
When I heard the word assistant, I sneered inwardly.
Even Pan Jiayuan followed me
The most familiar stoneware shop owners just call me Mr. Tong, Mr. Tong.
How dare the mink-haired man call me Assistant Tong?
Exposed!
"able!"
Upon hearing my accurate response, the mink-haired man's eyes narrowed slightly and a ray of light burst out.
Then the mink-haired man asked about the inspection fee. He looked a little hurt, but nodded helplessly: "Okay! I picked it up!"
Without saying a word, I took out the two contracts that had been drawn up and placed them in front of the mink-haired man: "Please read the disclaimer first. If there is an accident in the contract, this appraisal center will not be responsible."
The mink-haired man agreed with a smile, picked up the contract and read it carefully, nodding his head in approval.
Just when I was about to sign and stamp, the mink-haired man raised his head and asked me with a smile: "Assistant Tong. I said, what if, if your appraisal center makes a wrong appraisal, what legal responsibilities should you bear."
After a pause, the mink-haired man's smile deepened and his voice was gentle: "I'm just talking about what-ifs. I don't seem to have seen the content of this one. Haha."
I didn't answer but asked, "You're right. How do you want me to compensate? Or what responsibilities do you want me to bear?"
"That's right, Assistant Tong. Last year in the Yandutai Collection World column, the experts misjudged something and destroyed the national treasure as a fake."
"The lawsuit later went to court. It was said that the column team compensated the treasure holder a sum of money."
"It is said that all those experts were fired?"
What the mink-haired man said was true, and he filed a lawsuit, but that last sentence was just bragging.
Although collectors in the world smash things for the sake of show effect, as long as they are objects from a hundred years ago, they are considered antiques and will not be used to protect the treasure hammer.
If you really come across a super national treasure, those experts will not be willing to smash it before they rush to buy it.
But what the mink-haired man said is this. If I don’t go out on the road and jump into pits, how can I be worthy of his hard work?
"Then the compensation will be based on the authenticity?"
I responded calmly and softly: "Are you going to smash the signboard of our Fangzhou Identification Center again?"
"Am I also quitting the appraisal world?"
The mink-haired man hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, saying a few words in succession.
After being silent for a few seconds, the mink-haired man smiled and said, "Just compensate for the genuine article. How much do you think this piece of yellow glaze is worth when you touch it?"
I turned to look at Uncle Xu: "Uncle Xu, how much do you think this yellow disc is worth?"
Uncle Xu immediately widened his eyes, shook his head like a fifth-speed electric fan, and kept shouting that he didn't know.
Although the Hongzhi poured yellow glaze is known as the pinnacle of China's yellow glaze porcelain, there is really no auction record for similar items today.
