Zhou Xia looked at the paintings and patterns of plum vases again and found them quite interesting.

There is also a dragon on this plum vase, and the theme pattern is the Azure Dragon.

The scientific name is Yunlong pattern, with dragon as the main and cloud as the auxiliary.

This blue dragon is quite powerful and majestic, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is vicious. I saw the dragon's eyes wide open, the dragon's claws are sharp, the dragon's body is vigorous, and the dragon's hair is flowing. It makes people sigh that this is the demeanor that a real dragon should have.

Compared with the sluggish dragon that imitated Yongle's hand-pressing cup just now, it was just in the sky and the ground.

The dragon cloud pattern, with dragons and clouds, are embellished with dense and orderly, and they will not be too eye-catching, and make the overall layout look harmonious and natural. There are also quite particulars in this. On this plum vase, Zhou Xia felt that using his barren language is no longer enough to describe the beauty of it.

The patterns decorated on the shin of the plum vase are variant lotus petal patterns, surrounding the plum vase.

This is also a common pattern in blue and white porcelain. Zhou Xia also carefully identified it and felt it was quite elegant and dignified as Xuande.

Let’s talk about the Tao style. On the shoulder of the plum vase, the six-character model “Made in Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty” is written horizontally. Generally speaking, if it is a four-character model “Made in Xuande Year of the Year”, it is mostly an early work of Xuande. The six-character model is a mid- and late Xuande period.

Zhou Xia was born in an average family and did not specially train her when she was a child. Although his calligraphy was not satisfactory, he still had a level of appreciation.

The six-character style regular script is "made in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty". The font is vigorous and powerful, and the brushwork is neat and beautiful. Every stroke is consistent with the standard Xuande style he has seen.

Zhou Xia carefully weighed the weight and felt that the weight was moderate. Then he tapped it gently with his fingers in different parts, and only the sound was clear and pleasant, unlike the imitation with a crispy and loose body, which sounded dull.

Looking at the inside and outside of the mouth, as well as the thin glaze of the instrument body, some teeth appear yellow due to air oxidation.

Zhou Xia has seen many old porcelains. Generally, old ones are old. In order to prove that they are old objects, they like to make a fuss about them. The eyes that can be naturally oxidized are quite different from those that are artificially old, bleached, dyed and polished. When Zhou Xia was doing an appraisal, he often said, "There are obvious traces of artificial old ones."

But the colors of this plum vase are very natural and do not seem to be artificially made.

Even the bottom foot with the most yellow teeth is polished very carefully when it is made and repaired perfectly. Unlike many other official kilns, the bottom foot is not very important, and it is a bit rough.

Finally, Zhou Xia still used all the light and observed it carefully under a high-power magnifying glass. He found that the glaze was filled with bubbles of all sizes, and the bubbles were bright and dense, and even small bubbles were piled with large bubbles, and occasionally there were neatly arranged large bubbles. All these details were consistent with the characteristics of Xuande official kiln porcelain in the Ming Dynasty.

From this, Zhou Xia could roughly conclude that all the details of this plum vase were consistent with Xuande blue and white, and should belong to the authentic product from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

What is particularly commendable is that the quality of this large plum vase is quite well preserved, and it has not been repaired or missing. The only place that can be called a regret is probably those places where it has been oxidized.

Zhou Xia was also thinking in his heart that if this was really the authentic Xuande blue and white porcelain product, the value would be quite good, and he didn't know what the price Xu Yaohui and the other party were talking about.

Finally, Zhou Xia naturally had to let the system do an appraisal.

Because he has not seen many authentic Xuande porcelains, he may have omissions when using such conventional routines to make appraisals.

The system can be accurately identified to ensure that there is no accident.

The identification results given by the system were soon released, "This work was created in 1433 AD!"

It was during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

The conversion was completed soon, and Zhou Xia couldn't hide his excitement. It was really not an exaggeration to say that this was a rare treasure in thirty years, and it definitely deserves the word "lift".

It is not easy for ordinary people to see each other at first sight, let alone like now, you can hold it in your hands and play with it carefully and appreciate it with confidence.

This is the authentic product, and it is very likely that after seeing this, there will be no chance to see it again.

Zhou Xia also had to seize the opportunity to carefully reminisce about the various characteristics of blue and white porcelain during the Xuande period and summarize it. When the Xuande porcelain is identified, even if the system is not used, it can still be achieved.

This is the most rare learning opportunity. Zhou Xia for a moment also forgot to inform Xu Zhendong and the others of the appraisal results, and only savored it over and over again, trying hard to remember every detail in it so that it can be compared in the future.

Xu Zhendong came back after checking the information and saw that he was still doing the appraisal carefully, so he didn't bother him. But he was also confused in his heart, because Zhou Xia took a lot longer than before.

Xu Yaohui was anxious, but he didn't dare to go up and urge him, so he could only wait for Zhou Xia to complete the appraisal.

Finally, Zhou Xia put down the plum vase lightly, but Xu Yaohui's heart was raised again. Because judging from the current situation, it is not optimistic.

Zhou Xia put down the plum vase, and Liu Yuqing asked him with a smile, "Zhou Xia, you have been trying to identify it for so long this time, have you ever reached the final conclusion?"

Zhou Xia realized that he had been studying for a long time and made them wait by the side. He didn't even notice what they were doing or discussing. Just now, there was only this Xuandeyun dragon pattern plum vase in his heart and eyes.

"Sorry, I don't have a very deep study of blue and white porcelain. I just saw this plum vase very rare. I was a little fascinated before I knew it. I forgot the time and gained some gains and experiences. Master Xu, Manager Liu, Uncle Xu, I believe you should have come to a conclusion too! Why not listen to your opinions first, so as not to be embarrassed if I say something wrong." Zhou Xia hurriedly replied.

Liu Yuqing stopped laughing, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her delicate and pretty face, "None of them are outsiders, there is no problem of being embarrassed or not. Our opinions are not very unified now. From my point of view, I really think more. But I called to consult the old man at home, and he told me to be cautious and observe carefully. I asked several other elders and could not reach a perfect consensus."

Xu Yaohui's attitude was also very serious, "I see it really, but I also feel that this plum vase seems too perfect, making me feel uneasy and unsure."

Xu Zhendong glanced at him and expressed his opinion, "I just looked at it carefully. Although this plum vase generally matches the characteristics of Xuande blue and white porcelain, I still feel that there are a few doubtful places in the specific details."

Zhou Xia immediately said, "Master Xu might as well talk about it, let's discuss it."

Xu Zhendong said, "There are many blue and white shapes in Xuande, like this plum vase. More than ten years ago, I saw similar plum vase shapes at the Xuande porcelain special exhibition held by the Palace Museum in Taipei, but the patterns on the plum vase are not very same, and the plum vase is not as big as this one and has different uses. Moreover, have you noticed that the color of the porcelain at the upper part of the bottle mouth of the plum vase has some slight differences."

Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia and others said in unison that there was no, but Xu Zhendong asked them to see it, and said, "I hope it's not that I'm old and dizzy."

After careful observation, Zhou Xia and others found that as Xu Zhendong said, there was indeed some very subtle color difference between the mouth of the plum bottle and the bottom, almost just between the front lines. If Xu Zhendong hadn't mentioned it specifically, he wouldn't have seen it.

Liu Yuqing said, "Master Xu's observation is indeed meticulous. We juniors are so ashamed!"

Xu Yaohui also flattered Xu Zhendong, which made him look cold.

Zhou Xia looked carefully and was thinking hard in his heart. What was going on and what caused it.

"In addition, I have some doubts about this dragon with the cloud dragon pattern." Xu Zhendong continued.

Xu Yaohui immediately replied, "I think this dragon is very good. It is full of vitality, spirit, movements and postures, all with the characteristics of Xuande's era."

Xu Zhendong shouted, "You haven't seen it. I remember that I've seen a Xuande blue and white cloud dragon pattern celestial ball bottle before. If I remember correctly, the momentum of the dragon on it and the way of drawing the dragon claws are somewhat different from that of this dragon. This feeling is very wonderful. I think Xuande has not been in power for a long time, and the same dragon cloud pattern should not have such a big difference."

Xu Zhendong said this, and Xu Yaohui and Zhou Xia were unable to argue because they had never seen the Xuande blue and white cloud dragon pattern celestial ball bottle, so they had no say on it.

"With the intactness of this plum vase, there should be no problems in some places. I think it is more like a deliberate way to prove that this is an old object. If it is a high-quality imitation, these can be made, and they are exactly the same as the real one." Xu Zhendong was quite puzzled.

Zhou Xia thought that Xu Zhendong had entered a situation he had guessed. If he had preconceived thought something was fake, then many places would feel that it was fake. In terms of Xu Zhendong's experience, it is understandable to raise these questions.

After hearing what Xu Zhendong said, even Liu Yuqing could not help but feel a little shaken because the old experts she consulted were more or less doubtful.

Although Xu Yaohui still bit his mouth and said it was true, his attitude was no longer as firm as before.

Generally speaking, experts look at things different from ordinary players. As long as they have doubts and determine them as fake, they can basically be fake. When ordinary collectors get something, they try their best to find advantages from various places.

If there is no particularly convincing evidence at this time, Xu Yaohui may have chosen to give up this rare Xuande blue and white plum vase.

At this time, everyone turned their attention to Zhou Xia, only he had not expressed his opinion yet. Xu Yaohui especially hoped to hear his final opinion. If he could provide strong evidence, he would be sure of it.
