The porcelain in hand is called Yuhu Chunping from the shape, with a diameter of about 9 centimeters, a base diameter of about 12 centimeters, a belly diameter of about 20 centimeters, and a height of about 32 centimeters. It has a slender mouth, a thin neck, a round belly, and a circle foot. The whole device is covered with underglaze red patterns, and the color is bright and black.
The inside of the mouth is decorated with a curly grass pattern, the neck is decorated with a banana leaf pattern, and the abdomen is fully painted with a peony pattern of branches and leaves, which has an ancient charm, with a plump shape and distinct layers of decoration.
The base of the circle is sandy, with obvious flint red spots, and there is no standard base on the bottom of the bottle.
Under Li Mo's different eyes, the entire bottle emits a dark blue halo, and the apertures are layered like ocean waves.
This is definitely an authentic Hongwu underglaze red jade vase from the Ming Dynasty.
The underglaze red porcelain fired during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty was not yet skilled in craftsmanship, so the fired underglaze red was not uniform in color and dark in color. At first glance, it looked like there were black spots in the red.
However, because there are very few authentic underglaze red porcelains in existence, they are extremely precious. There is an authentic underglaze red porcelain from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty in the Jinling Museum, as well as some fragments of underglaze red porcelain.
Li Mo's eyes were really opened when he met a genuine Hongwu underglaze red from the Ming Dynasty in a class at Peking University.
He took a deep breath, calmed down and asked, "Teacher, where did you get this porcelain?"
Seeing his strange expression, the teacher couldn't help but smile and said, "The first two are fine. Do you have any insights on the third one?"
Li Mo's eyes were calm. He held the jade pot and spring bottle with extremely careful hands and placed it gently on the long table. Then he took two steps back and looked at the teacher and said: "It is worthy of being a first-class, century-old school. I actually got the prize in the last elective appreciation class." I bought an authentic Hongwu glaze red jade vase from the Ming Dynasty, which is worth at least 150 million. Teacher, you must be careful when showing it to your classmates in class, and don't bump into it."
After a brief silence in the lecture theater, even louder laughter erupted. This student was talking nonsense. Would authentic Ming Dynasty porcelain worth 150 million be used as teaching materials and props in the classroom? If it were true, it would probably be the most expensive prop in the world.
But the teacher did not laugh. Instead, he looked at Li Mo very seriously, and then took a closer look at the underglaze red jade pot and spring vase. He frowned and said, "Classmate, you can't talk nonsense in class. These porcelain props It was purchased by the school and I have been using it for several years.”
"Teacher, don't you know this is genuine?"
Li Mo was immediately surprised. Good guy, such an expensive genuine product has been used casually as a prop for several years. If those experts knew about it, they would be drooling over him.
"Teacher, don't move. I'll make a call first."
This is no ordinary trivial matter. The Jinling Museum even collects fragments of underglaze red porcelain as treasures, which shows how precious Ming Hongwu underglaze red porcelain is.
The only person he could contact was Professor Zhu Changping, who would contact the school leaders to arrange protection matters.
It's a pity that the teacher's phone number can't be reached. There should be no mobile phone signal in the middle of the mountain. Li Mo called Professor Wu again, but no one answered the phone, and he didn't know if he was at Beijing University.
I had no choice but to make the last call again, which was Professor Zhang from the Department of History who specializes in the study of ancient characters. He was a relatively familiar person. This time the call was quickly connected, and Professor Zhang's laughter could be heard.
"Li Mo, you're so well done. You've made Beijing University proud. If you need any help at this time, just call me. I've been very busy recently."
"Professor Zhang, please listen to me first if the matter is urgent. I am currently in a lecture theater in Building 3 of the Peking University teaching building. One of the porcelain used as teaching props in the classroom is an authentic Hongwu glaze red jade pot spring vase from the Ming Dynasty. , very rare.”
"Because I couldn't contact the teacher, I tried to call you, and asked Professor Zhang to contact the leader immediately to arrange protection matters, and at the same time notify relevant experts for further identification."
Hearing the sound of a chair hitting the table on the other end of the phone, Professor Zhang's voice raised a few points: "Li Mo, are you right? Oh, you are definitely not wrong. Give the phone to the teacher in class and I will talk to him. "
Li Mo handed the phone to the disbelieving teacher, "Professor Zhang from the History Department wants to talk to you."
"ah."
"good."
"clear."
Professor Zhang didn't know what he said to him. After hanging up the phone, he looked suspicious of life and looked at Li Mo with curiosity.
The students in the lecture theater began to whisper to each other. It seemed that the classmate was not talking nonsense just now. You could tell by looking at the teacher's expression. Unexpectedly, a teaching prop that has been used for several years turned out to be a real antique, worth more than 150 million.
For these students themselves, 150 million is an untouchable level. Even if they start a business successfully in the future, they still don’t know how many years it will take to accumulate such wealth.
They want to know even more who this classmate is? Why does he mean what he says?
The atmosphere in the classroom was a bit abnormal. Li Mo stood here and was under a lot of pressure. He smiled at the teacher and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, for disturbing your class. In fact, I am a freshman this year. Because I am not familiar with the environment, I am not familiar with the environment." I wanted to find a buddy to ask for directions to the classroom, but the guy was so enthusiastic that he brought me in directly."
The teacher held it in for a few seconds and said, "Are you really that golden-eyed Li Mo?"
"Teacher, do you know me?"
"I haven't seen it, but I can hear the calluses on my ears." The teacher turned around and looked at the remaining three unappraised porcelains, "Are there any more?"
"No."
The teacher was silent for half a minute and said: "There are many similar teaching props in the warehouse. I have accumulated at least three hundred over the years. Why don't you go over and have a look? Maybe you can come across something good?"
"OK."
In front of so many seniors, Li Mo had an awkward chat with his teacher.
Ten minutes later, Professor Zhang walked into the classroom with a group of people, and the buzzing classroom suddenly became quiet.
"Li Mo, this is Dean Gao, and this is Director You." Professor Zhang immediately introduced the two school leaders to Li Mo.
Li Mo saluted hurriedly and respectfully.
"Li Mo, where is the authentic Hongwu underglaze red jade pot and spring vase of the Ming Dynasty that you mentioned?"
After asking, Dean Gao glanced at the long table. The bright red underglaze color was too conspicuous. He, Director You, and Professor Zhang immediately gathered around it.
After looking at it for a while, Dean Gao sighed: "It's a blessing that this rare product was not damaged."
"We are all careless. Who would have thought that a piece of porcelain worth hundreds of dollars can have such a big leak." Director You said with a little fear, "Dean Gao, there are many porcelain props in the Beijing University warehouse. Look at it. Don’t you want Li Mo to do the screening now?”
"It's very necessary. Let's go now." Dean Gao looked at Li Mo with a smile on his face. "Li Mo, you are a master in this field. First, pack this Ming Hongwu underglaze red jade pot and spring vase." Protect it.”
He was obliged to do this, and the security guard who came with him delivered a safe.
"Dean Gao, if the school wants to keep this authentic underglaze red, then the safe must be customized to a suitable size. I will use foam as a protective measure first."
"If you make a request, I will immediately ask someone from the logistics department to rush to order it. I will take you to the warehouse later to see if there are any genuine porcelain purchased over the years for use as teaching props."
What happened today is a great blessing. The authentic Hongwu underglaze red jade pot and spring vase of the Ming Dynasty did not suffer any damage after being used as a prop for several years. At the same time, it is an embarrassing incident that is frightening and will cause controversy if word spreads about it.
