    Meng Zitao just smiled and was not worried about this. He was not arrogant, but since he had decided to investigate Wang Qingbin, Du Yizhou must also investigate. In this case, if Du Yizhou wanted to take revenge on him, how could he do it?  Is there a reason that I don¡¯t know?

    Seeing that Meng Zitao was confident, Xu Xingzhi didn't say anything more. They had just met, and their relationship was somewhat superficial.

    Next, Dong Jichang and Xu Xingzhi admired and discussed the flower and bird vases, and then looked at Meng Zitao with some envy as he put them back into the brocade box.  Although they all have the idea of ????accounting for this pair of flower and bird vases, the value of at least 8 million still prohibits them.

    "You two, wait a moment, I'll go get the things."

    After chatting for a while, Xu Xingzhi went out and brought in the piece of porcelain Dong Jichang asked for, but it was an imitation Ge Kiln Sanyang Kai Taizun.

    Dong Jichang's eyes lit up a bit when he saw this imitation Ge Kiln Sanyang Kai Taizun, and he was extremely excited. However, he still knew his own worth at this time, so he resisted the idea of ??getting started and asked Meng Zitao to help identify it first.  .

    However, Meng Zitao felt a little weird in his heart, because this imitation Ge Kiln Sanyang Kaitaizun gave him a feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu, as if he had seen the same artifact somewhere. This cheered him up, and his memory should not  Error, so generally in this case, the thing is likely to be a high imitation.

    This statue imitates the ancient bronze statue from Ge Kiln, with a round mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, round belly and round feet.  It is solid and thick, with three sheep heads evenly distributed at the junction of the waist and neck.  The whole body is covered with imitation glaze. The glaze surface is thick and smooth, and the glaze color is greyish-green. The glaze surface is covered with flake patterns of different sizes. The deeper flake patterns are like iron color, while the lighter ones are golden yellow.  The sole of the foot is iron-black, and the blue and white inscription on the outer sole is "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" with six characters and three lines in seal script.

    Sheep is a symbol of purity and nobility in ancient my country. The word "sheep" in Chinese characters is connected with the word "xiang". Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Sheep means auspiciousness".  Bronze vessels from the Shang and Zhou dynasties also often feature the image of sheep.  The artistic shapes and decorative patterns of the three-goat combination were very popular in the Qing Dynasty. In addition to jade, ceramics and paintings often used the title "Three Yang (Sheep) Kaitai" as a year-end praise.

    The Sanyang Zun was also deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong for its quaint and solid shape.  There is a record in the archives of the Manufacturing Office of the Qianlong Dynasty that Emperor Qianlong ordered the firing of the "Factory Official Glazed Three-Yang Zun".  At the same time, Emperor Qianlong also decorated the Sanyang Zun with other colored glazes, which shows the emperor's unique love for this type of vessel.

    It is also recorded in Tang Ying's "Tao Cheng Chronicle Stele" that: "The imitation Tieguge glaze imitates the characteristics of Song Ge glaze. Ge kiln is one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. The imitation Ge kiln in the Qianlong Dynasty is very exquisite in terms of opening and glaze color.  , It¡¯s perfect.¡± This is what I am.

    This Sanyang Zun is dignified, simple and beautiful. The glaze is moist and thick, and the texture is rich and interesting.  At the bottom, there is a six-character seal script inscription "Made in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty". The seal method is rigorous and the writing is straight and elegant. It is a typical Qianlong imitation Ge glaze vessel, reaching the level of "coinciding with the antique and indistinguishable from the real thing".

    When Meng Zitao had the results, Xu Xingzhi took the lead and asked, "Teacher Meng, how about my three-goat statue?"

    Seeing Dong Jichang indicating to speak directly, Meng Zitao did not hesitate and said with a smile: "That's right, I'll open the door."

    When Dong Jichang heard this answer, his face lit up with joy: "Brother, could you please tell me something?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said that there was no problem, and then talked eloquently: "Speaking of the imitation of Ge Kiln in the Qing Dynasty, we have to mention the Ge Kiln porcelain of the Yongzheng period. At that time, Tang Ying was appointed to supervise pottery in the imperial kiln factory and gather famous craftsmen.  Deliberately made in antique style, imitating ancient bronze statues, pots, goblets, etc., the shapes are novel and diverse, regular and elegant, and the body is iron gray. After fire sintering, the surface is iron black or oily and shiny, and the enamel is smooth, with putty, gray-green and  Pink teal.¡±

    "Because the carcass contains iron, it has a natural purple-black color, and the glaze is exposed, so 'purple mouth iron feet' can also appear. This was the period when the level of porcelain making technology was at its highest in the Qing Dynasty, and imitations were the most beautiful. However,  Although the craftsmanship of the body glaze is superb, due to the limitations of the times, it is still not comparable to the natural characteristics of the Songge Kiln."

    "In the Qianlong period, Tang Ying was still in charge of pottery affairs, and he continued to imitate Ge Kiln porcelain. Although Emperor Qianlong repeatedly issued edicts and hoped that the imitation porcelain would be as realistic as possible, due to the limitations of objective conditions, the craftsmanship was never surpassed. Its craftsmanship,  The shape, texture, glaze color, etc. are basically the same as those of Yongzheng ware. And this Sanyang Zun is in line with the characteristics of the official imitation Ge Kiln during the Qianlong period"

    After listening to Meng Zitao¡¯s detailed introduction, Dong Jichang was completely relieved, and then he couldn¡¯t wait to go out to discuss the price with Xu Xingzhi.

    Meng Zitao continued to recall carefully where he had seen similar artifacts. When the two agreed on the price and returned to the reception room talking and laughing, Meng Zitao finally remembered.

     After Meng Zitao became a disciple before, Zheng Anzhi gave him some albums of various antiques. The things on them came from various sources, but most of them were photos of collections in various museums across the country and were described in detail.  Very detailed.

    Meng Zitao now recalled that there was an introduction to a Sanyang Zun in the album, which was exactly the same regardless of age, glaze, shape, etc.  If you say that it may have been fired in one furnace, but there is no difference even in the opening of the pieces, then there is a problem. Even if it is a high imitation, it is impossible to even have the same size in the opening.

    Therefore, Meng Zitao has reason to believe that this Three-Yang Zun is the one in the album. However, that Three-Yang Zun is obviously in the collection of the local museum, and it is definitely impossible to sell it. Now it is here.  , the situation inside is somewhat intriguing.

    Meng Zitao thought for a while and then asked Xu Xingzhi: "Shopkeeper Xu, I would like to ask a rather presumptuous question. I wonder what the origin of this Three-Yang Zun is?"

    According to the rules of the antique industry, it was taboo for Meng Zitao to ask this question, but in this situation, he still had to ask clearly.

    Xu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility and seemed hesitant.

    Seeing this situation, Dong Jichang also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper Xu, is there something wrong with the origin of this artifact? If so, I will not buy it."

    Meng Zitao took over and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, to be honest, I don't want to be a bad person, but there must be something wrong with the origin of this thing. From what I know about it, it is unlikely to be circulated in the market, so I hope you can  If you can tell me what I know and it really has nothing to do with you, I can also vouch for you."

    Xu Xingzhi heard what Meng Zitao said and understood that this matter could not be left to chance, so he said: "To be honest, this artifact was transferred to me by my friend. The price is indeed not high, and I do not know its origin, but I  Later, I accidentally heard another friend mention it. He took the photo from a small exchange meeting. If there is indeed a problem, I am also a victim."

    At the end of the sentence, Xu Xingzhi's expression was a bit bitter. When he bought this thing, he had a lucky mentality and thought that he would not be so unlucky. However, the small probability of things still happened to him, and he could only lament that he was having a bad year.  .

    Meng Zitao understood as soon as he heard it. It sounded like a small exchange meeting, but it was actually a black market auction. There were many things at such auctions with questionable origins, and very few that were good. It seemed that this Three-Yang Zun was likely to be  It was obtained through illegal means.

    Dong Jichang also understood. Looking at the Sanyang Zun on the table, he felt very depressed. After all, he was still reluctant to give up, so he asked: "Brother, can you tell me its origin?"

    Meng Zitao shook his head: "Don't ask about this. No matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it."

    Hearing what Meng Zitao said, both of them were thoughtful and had some vague guesses about the origin of this artifact.  Xu Xingzhi felt that this matter was quite difficult, and his brows furrowed deeply.

    Meng Zitao said: "Shopkeeper Xu, if things are indeed as you said, I can ensure that you are fine. As for the loss, you can ask your friend to ask for it. If he does not agree, it can be resolved through a lawsuit. However, I suggest  Don¡¯t contact him for the time being until things progress.¡±

    Xu Xingzhi smiled bitterly and said: "I listen to you, but the chance of coming back is probably very slim." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
