Zhou Xia also smiled, "It's so eye-catching! After a thousand years, it's still as new as it is. Such porcelain is a good porcelain, right?"

Seeing that Zhao Xiangbo couldn't scare him, he lost his tricks, "You guy, have a really good mentality.

"If it costs fifty yuan, my mentality will naturally be stable. If it is five hundred thousand, I will definitely not be like this." Zhou Xia answered honestly.

Zhao Xiangbo laughed loudly. Through these conversations, he could see that Zhou Xia still had his own understanding of the Ding Kiln porcelain.

At least, Zhou Xia was quite sure that this piece of porcelain was an old object.

As for whether it is an official kiln, judging from what Zhao Xiangbo just observed, it is still very likely.

However, further comprehensive identification is still needed. Those places that are covered with dirty things need to be washed before talking about them.

It is true that what Zhao Xiangbo just said is all objective problems with this porcelain, but this does not mean that such things must be imitations or works by folk kilns.

Zhou Xia and Zhao Xiangbo chatted for a while and discussed in-depth the identification techniques of Dingyao.

Xu Yaohui quickly finished the appraisal, and then patted Zhou Xia on the shoulder and said, "Zhou Xia, why are you lucky? You can pick up such a good thing."

Zhou Xia replied, "Uncle Xu thinks this Ding kiln porcelain is very valuable?"

Xu Yaohui nodded, "There are quite a lot of Ding Kiln white-glazed porcelains that I have passed by, but like this one, it is really rare. The scratches on the surface are so anxious."

Zhou Xia had no choice. In fact, he didn't see it very carefully.

Only after Xu Yaohui's appraisal was completed, Zhou Xia could find some feelings on this Ding Kiln porcelain.

Unlike the dark and lantern situation in the ghost market, the lights in the antique shop are much stronger, so the scars on the outer wall of the bowl are more clearly visible. These scratches have worn off the glaze on the surface, revealing the inner body, which looks a bit dry.

Such a situation is naturally unhappy.

When collecting antique collections, the pursuit is "fine, rare, new". This piece of porcelain must be repaired.

However, the damage is too serious, so you can only re-glaze on the scratched surface and then return to the furnace to re-fire.

But this is not something that Zhou Xia can accomplish at the current level. If he takes a step back, even if he has the ability, he will not respond to the equipment and conditions. He still has to find a professional. Fortunately, Zhao Xiangbo and Xu Yaohui have a wide range of people, and it is not particularly difficult to find a master of porcelain repair.

Putting aside these scratches, you have to ignore the impact on the porcelain.

The performance of this porcelain is quite good.

Ding kiln white glaze porcelain.

This white-glazed porcelain bowl is not completely ivory white, but white with yellow.

Zhou Xia was very clear about this, and neither Zhao Xiangbo nor Xu Yaohui raised any questions.

This is also because the color of Ding Kiln white glaze is pure ivory white, which is quite rare. Basically, it will be a little color-shifted. Some are shimmering yellow with a hundred miles, while others are white with a white with a blue with a white. But this white is not all ivory white, but also milk white, lard white, etc., which can be said to be all kinds of white.

Like the one in Zhou Xia’s hand, the one with white and yellow inside is normal.

After Zhou Xia carefully identified it, he naturally saw that what Zhao Xiangbo said was that the surface of this porcelain did not have the common tear marks in Ding Kiln.

This tear mark is actually a defect that is difficult to overcome during the firing process of Ding Kiln, but it has become the main evidence for later generations to identify. However, it is not feasible to use this as the basis for identification alone.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xia said to Zhao Xiangbo before that there were no tears and didn't mind.

Moreover, Zhou Xia has already proved through an archaeological identification system that this is indeed a work of Ding Kiln from the Northern Song Dynasty.

He now only needs to see how other qualities it is.

In addition to scratches, there are also some small traces on the surface of this large white porcelain bowl of Ding kiln. This is also an important feature of Ding kiln, which is generally called bamboo silk marks.

The bamboo silk marks were actually not made by the bamboo silk brush, but were not rotating smoothly, and the ones who repaired the porcelain were left behind. Because the wooden carts used at that time were not so sophisticated enough, it would easily leave permanent traces of the times on the porcelain.

As for what Zhao Xiangbo mentioned before, this porcelain has no scratches or concealed white glaze, which looks quite eye-catching.

Zhou Xia didn't care about this. Instead, this brighter color is a testimony to the finest products of Ding Kiln.

Like the current imitation Ding Kiln, the white glaze on the surface is not dense enough and cannot reach the level of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it looks more bleak.

The reason is that the surface of the authentic products of Ding Kiln in ancient times formed a dense glaze similar to glass, which looked watery and was not easily corroded. If you are not afraid of trouble, you can also use nitric acid for identification. If the surface is not corroded by nitric acid, it must be the authentic product.

Zhou Xia understands these identification techniques, and two old experts, Zhao Xiangbo and Xu Yaohui, will not be confused.

Then, Zhou Xia looked through the bottom of the bowl again, and there was no official style.

This does not mean that as long as it is a top-quality product, it is good. According to research, the finest items of Ding kilns sent to the palace for use in the palace are not all engraved with official characters.

I touched my bottom foot with my hand and felt a little uneven. I could feel it on a flat table that the bowl was not particularly neat, and it was even a little unshakable.

This is also one of the biggest characteristics of the authentic Ding Kiln products. The craftsman level at that time was not as good as the current mechanical rolling, with neat specifications and some errors were inevitable.

Moreover, when Zhou Xia was buying it, he also weighed the big bowl and felt the weight was moderate.

Compared with other Ding Kiln imitations in previous stalls, it is a little more important than the ones.

After Zhou Xia looked carefully, he carefully analyzed the scratches that were so badly that they were on it and asked Zhao Xiangbo, "Mr. Zhao, the scratches you are looking for should be repairable without affecting the overall effect!"

Zhao Xiangbo smiled and said, "You can rest assured. Although it is not easy, it can still be done. You just need to prepare the money. By the way, after you repair this Ding Kiln porcelain, do you plan to collect it yourself or what?"

Zhou Xia replied, "I haven't planned to take action yet. What's wrong? This is also a work of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty."

"The appearance is not perfect." Zhao Xiangbo said deliberately.

"What I pursue is perfection in imperfection." Zhou Xia laughed. No matter what, he planned to see the effect after the repair.

In this situation, he had no collection of ** at all.

At the same time, Zhou Xia also knew that after so many thousand years, there were still too few porcelains that could be preserved intact. Many porcelains had hidden injuries.

Whether it is auctioned at auction or exhibited in museums, many of the porcelains have been restored. They are just for the sake of beauty and better appearance, and they are also pleasing to the eye.

Take this Ding Kiln work as an example! If it looks like it now, most people will feel heartbroken when they see it. After all, everyone wants to see exquisite things.

Seeing that Zhou Xia had finished the appraisal, Xu Yaohui recommended himself and asked Zhou Xia to hand over the porcelain to him and clean it immediately. His reason was also very sufficient, "It's not me that this porcelain can definitely attract attention after being cleaned and repaired. Like this, it is still quite rare for Dingyao old porcelain without tear marks."

"I'll do it myself," Zhou Xia replied.

Xu Yaohui smiled and said, "There is no need. This porcelain is relatively slippery. I don't know how many porcelains I have cleaned. I'm very skilled in making these, and it will be fine soon."

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Xu!" Zhou Xia didn't be polite to him.

"It's too weird to tell me this! Then you can take a look at the store first, and I'll clean it and take it out." After Xu Yaohui said that, he took the porcelain to the back hall to clean it. Many of the porcelain he collected were very dirty, and he needed to do the cleaning work by himself.

Zhao Xiangbo also laughed, "It's just that Zhou Xia is lazy. I haven't completely cleaned the Western Zhou crotch splitting tripod I bought last time! I don't even say that my luck is good, but my life is so good."

Zhou Xia smiled apologized.

"How about it? Is it particularly fulfilling to buy Ding kiln porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty at a low price?" Zhao Xiangbo asked him with a smile.

Zhou Xia said truthfully, "It's okay! The key is that there are a lot of Ding kiln porcelain on the market now, and the price is not high, so I don't feel too excited. If it were Ru kiln porcelain, I would definitely be very excited."

Zhao Xiangbo laughed loudly and said, "You really think that the Ru kiln porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty is rare in normal times, let alone possessing it. In my life, except for the Ru kiln porcelain I saw at the museum auction, I have only seen it twice in private. It is also a private collection of our Donghai collectors. Unfortunately, that guy is very stingy and never took it out again after that. Moreover, his Ru kiln porcelain is also a bit incomplete and has been repaired. But the feeling of rain passing by the sky blue is indeed unforgettable for me for the rest of my life."

Zhou Xia was also a little fascinated when she heard it. She looked like she had never seen it before, but she always felt very powerful!

He also replied, "Ru Kiln is indeed loved. If it weren't for this, Song Huizong would not have abandoned Ding Kiln, but ordered people to burn Ru Kiln."

Zhao Xiangbo said, "I remembered this when I talk about it. Your Ding Kiln porcelain also has a magnitude. It is said that Song Huizong prohibited him from entering the palace because he did not like this magnitude. You should know what this magnitude is!"

"Aren't it the traces left on the bowl because of burning? This is the explanation in the literature." Zhou Xia felt a little confused when he heard him ask, but he immediately answered.

After hearing this, Zhao Xiangbo immediately laughed, "When I heard your answer before, I thought you had different opinions?"

"What answer? I didn't say anything about "You Mang!" Zhou Xia became more and more curious.

Zhao Xiangbo reminded, "It's the light of your porcelain."

Zhou Xia was also really humble and studious, so he immediately started to think, and asked, "Well? Mr. Zhao means that the mulch recorded in the literature is actually wrong? It is not a trace on the edge of the bowl? This mulch should refer to something else?"

Zhao Xiangbo said, "In fact, it's just my personal opinion, and it may not be correct."

Zhou Xia was also secretly guessing what he really meant. With Zhao Xiangbo's previous prompt, Zhou Xia was much easier to guess.

"Mr. Zhao also said that this glow actually means light? That is, because the porcelain in Ding Kiln is too dazzling and bright and not warm enough, it is not popular with Song Huizong. He also ordered people to burn the Ru Kiln, which is restrained and implicit," Zhou Xia asked.

Zhao Xiangbo nodded and explained, "If this is the light produced by overburning, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Just let the craftsmen come over and use the staple burning! There is no need to make a fuss to abandon it. Look at your porcelain, it has been so many years, and it is still bright and dazzling. At that time, it was not even more eye-catching. Song Huizong was a foolish emperor, but his artistic achievements were the most unprecedented among all emperors. The aesthetic concepts and interests were naturally quite high.

In terms of painting and calligraphy, it was a pioneer. Even the Ru kiln he ordered to fire, the color of the sky blue that has passed by the rain, is still unforgettable. Such a smart man will definitely not make a mistake that no one who knows a little art will make. There is only one conclusion, that is, he thinks that the Ding kiln porcelain is indeed too new and bright, too ostentatious, and does not meet his preferences. Moreover, the large number of Ding kiln specimens can also explain this problem. Just like your Ding kiln porcelain, it feels a bit glassy and dazzling."

Zhou Xia lit his head as if he was pecking at rice when he heard this, "Old Master Zhao is right. I didn't think of this before. So, believe it."

Zhao Xiangbo laughed and said, "It's just my personal understanding. You must know that the artist's tempers are quite strange, otherwise, Song Huizong would not have destroyed his country."

Zhou Xia sighed, putting aside those things, the porcelain of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty was indeed the pinnacle of the history of ceramics.

This porcelain can indeed reflect the social style at that time, the environment with upward and downward effects, the comfort and enjoyment, elegance, classicality, and desolate sound, and became the mainstream of society at that time. As a result, it was beaten by the nomadic peoples in the north.

After a while, Xu Yaohui took out the cleaned Ding Kiln porcelain. This made the whole porcelain look really lit up. Even though he thought about the performance it should be after cleaning, Zhou Xia and Zhao Xiangbo were still a little shocked.

As for Xu Yaohui, he was already shocked when cleaning the porcelain.

If you wrap the outside of the porcelain, just looking at the performance inside this Ding Kiln white glaze bowl, it will be perfect, shining and fresh and eye-catching.

As a result, Zhou Xia became more and more looking forward to the performance of this Ding Kiln porcelain after restoration.
