    As mentioned before, the Porcelain City is actually a city built on the ruins of ancient kilns. No matter what infrastructure is built, as long as the ground is broken, a large number of ancient porcelain pieces may be unearthed.

    Although most of these ancient porcelain pieces have no cultural relic value due to their serious damage, they are important specimens for beginners to observe and learn.

    Therefore, when Meng Zitao looked around, he found that not far ahead, a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher was picking out porcelain at the stall with several young people with wives on their faces. The middle-aged man  People were commenting on the porcelain tiles from time to time. If Meng Zitao guessed correctly, it was probably a teacher from the Tao Institute who brought his students to search for treasures.

    By now, Meng Zitao was no stranger to the ghost market. After observing the surroundings for a while, he led Dajun to a stall specializing in porcelain tiles and started looking at it.

    Speaking of which, my country has a long history of porcelain making. Whether during porcelain firing, trade and transportation, or in the process of use, a large number of porcelain fragments are produced.

    A few years ago, even the price of ancient porcelain pieces was very low, because the collection of ancient porcelain pieces has not been taken seriously before. People who can collect ancient porcelain pieces, except for a few enthusiasts, many people just collect original pieces.  A few pieces of porcelain are picked up when buying pots, and more often some experts and scholars collect porcelain pieces for the purpose of teaching or scientific research. In this case, the value will naturally not be high.

    However, with the prosperity of the antique market, rare porcelain has also reached new highs in the auction market, which has also led to an increase in the value of porcelain pieces. Some rare porcelain pieces are even worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.  This was an unbelievable thing in the past. After all, as the old saying goes, porcelain is not worth a penny if it is hairy.

    Of course, there has been a saying since ancient times that "even if you have a huge fortune, it is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain", but in fact this sentence has been misunderstood by many people. It actually talks about the rarity of Jun porcelain, not the value of Jun porcelain.

    During the Northern Song Dynasty, Jun Guan Kiln fired tributes for the royal family. They only wanted the artifacts to be exquisite, regardless of labor hours or cost. The good ones were sent to the palace, and the bad ones were broken into pieces and buried deep. They were not allowed to flow into the public unless they were rewarded by the emperor.  Therefore, dignitaries are proud to own Jun porcelain. It is a mentality of showing off their wealth. It is not the price standard of Jun porcelain at that time.

    Although there is a certain relationship between rarity and value, rare things must be of high value, but this does not mean that rare things must be sky-high prices. The key depends on people's acceptance.

    Closer to home, Meng Zitao also feels the same way about the increase in the value of porcelain tiles. When he first entered the industry five years ago, the price of ancient porcelain tiles was very low. A piece of porcelain tiles from the official kilns of the Ming Dynasty only cost tens of yuan.  A piece of porcelain with a base model of "Da Ming Chenghua Year System" is worth thousands, and even a piece of porcelain with only one word in it can be sold for hundreds of dollars.

    Most of the things on the stall in front of me are porcelain tiles, divided into several piles according to the size of the porcelain tiles. It seems that the quality of the porcelain tiles is pretty good, but there are also some fakes among them. No one has copied these things before, but  Now as the price of porcelain tiles rises, some people will start to make profits.

    Meng Zitao squatted down and observed. When he found a good variety, he took it into his hand and studied it.

    In fact, in the field of porcelain tiles, experts and civilians play different ways.

    For example, Meng Zitao was as excited when he saw a good piece of porcelain as he was when he saw an original piece of porcelain, because he saw a more important value than the original piece.

    This is because if it is an original artifact, we cannot clearly see its inner texture, glaze color, etc., but an ancient porcelain piece can provide Meng Zitao with a lot of important information.  Even through modern scientific and technological means, you can know which mountain range the porcelain clay comes from, and you can see its elemental composition, texture, microstructure, production process, etc.

    These data are of great help in improving identification level and research.

    Meng Zitao first started with small porcelain tiles, and after a while he also gained some results. Of course, the ones that caught his eye were definitely not ordinary varieties.

    Finally, Meng Zitao turned his attention to the large pieces of porcelain. It would be wrong to say that they were porcelain pieces, because although some of these artifacts were seriously damaged, they were still in shape. The best ones were four-fifths complete.

    However, although these large pieces are better preserved than ordinary porcelain pieces, the chances of them being fakes are also much higher. Although the light is not strong now, Meng Zitao can still see that there are at least four problems with them at a glance.  .

    Meng Zitao scanned it briefly and found a plate. This plate seemed to be complete, but it was broken into four pieces. The center of the plate was a dough dragon on one side, and the outline of the dragon pattern was outlined with green color.  Fill in the paint, and the dragon's side is surrounded by green and auspicious cloud patterns.

    This beautiful dragon pattern is even better than Meng¡¯sThe dragon patterns on the porcelain that Tao saw in many museums were all very beautiful. Meng Zitao was very interested. When he started to look at them one by one, he discovered that the five-clawed dragon used by the emperor had an extra claw on its foot.  A six-clawed dragon.

    It is estimated that the porcelain painter at that time was so skilled that he accidentally painted an extra claw and fired it in the kiln. Originally, if such porcelain was discovered, everyone would be beheaded. This is probably because  For this reason, it was broken into pieces, secretly buried in the soil, and finally dug out.

    Although unique porcelain like this is not a complete piece, Meng Zitao believes that if it enters the market, the price will be high.

    However, there is a problem here. In ancient official kilns, several kiln unions made such mistakes and passed the review and were fired in the kiln. This chance is really low.

    In addition, Meng Zitao discovered that some of the markings on this porcelain were missing. Only the three characters "Da Ming Cheng" were complete, and only one-third of the word "made" was left. The other characters were all missing.  Although the remaining words seem to be fine, it cannot but be said to be a doubtful point.

    Presumably it was because of this that this obviously precious plate was kept.

    However, now that he has encountered it, Meng Zitao must study it carefully no matter what. What if it is genuine?

    Observation found that the overall shape of this green-colored porcelain plate is an open mouth, curved walls, and circle feet.  The base glaze is smooth and smooth, and the inner and outer walls are decorated with green dragon patterns.

    The outer wall is decorated with a circle of blue and white flowers and leaves, and seawater reef patterns are engraved under the glaze. The theme decoration is two groups of four green dragons, two dragons moving forward, and two dragons looking back, both of which are outlined with black lines and filled with green colors.  The whole vessel combines various techniques such as underglaze blue and white, dark engraving, and overglaze black line outlining and color filling. The craftsmanship is complex and the production is exquisite, which is breathtaking.

    Meng Zitao thought that based on his own experience, he really didn¡¯t believe that this was an imitation, so he used his superpower and laughed in his heart.

    Meng Zitao silently put the porcelain plate next to the porcelain tiles he had just selected, and was about to inquire about the price. He felt that this would not work, so he selected a superb high-imitation piece from the large items, and then looked at the stall.  The Lord spoke.

    "Boss, please give me a price."

    The boss was a middle-aged man of nearly forty years old with messy hair. He looked at what Meng Zitao had chosen, pointed at the small piece of porcelain with a smile and said: "One thousand for that kind, two thousand for that kind  In addition, these two pieces are a bit expensive, adding up to 50,000 yuan, so the total adds up to 65,000 yuan for you."

    As we all know, although the price of intact porcelain varies greatly depending on its condition, decoration, etc., generally speaking, there is a rough price system based on the era. However, there is no corresponding price system for the sale of porcelain tiles, but in the player circle  There will be an agreed upon price.

    At the price in 2009, for example, the official kiln porcelain tiles of the Ming Dynasty cost about 200 yuan for one character, and 1,200 yuan for six characters. The official kiln porcelain tiles of the Qing Dynasty cost about 100 yuan for one character, and six characters.  A piece of porcelain costs about 600 yuan.

    Of course, this is just a general situation. If you encounter treasures or well-preserved porcelain pieces, the value will be expensive. For example, it is relatively difficult to find porcelain pieces from the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. The price of a Ru kiln porcelain piece has increased from tens to tens.  The price has risen to several thousand yuan, and some Jun kiln porcelain pieces of good quality can even cost tens of thousands of yuan.

    So, based on this price, the price offered by the stall owner is expensive, and it is not ordinary expensive, it is several times more expensive.

    Meng Zitao knew that the stall owner was deliberately trying to kill him because he was young and had a foreign accent. He had seen this kind of scene too many times, and it was nothing more than asking for high prices and paying back the money.

    So, the two parties went back and forth, and finally the deal was settled for 13,000 yuan.

    After counting the money, the stall owner found a few old newspapers, wrapped Meng Zitao's things in a plastic bag, and handed them to Meng Zitao: "Come back if you need it."

    ¡°I¡¯ll be bankrupt if I do it again.¡± Meng Zitao waved his hand, picked up his things and turned around to leave.

    The stall owner was happy when he heard this: "It's better if you go bankrupt, otherwise how can I make a fortune? It's a pity, there are too few of these sticks. If there are two or three a month, I will make a fortune."

    If Meng Zitao knew what the stall owner was thinking, he would also laugh. Some people are like this. They think they have taken advantage. In fact, they are often the ones who suffer. But as the old saying goes, ignorance is blessing.

    With the harvest just now, Meng Zitao already felt that the trip to the ghost market was worth it. After harvesting a few more things, he was satisfied. He was ready to take a look at it and keep it if there was anything he liked.  If so, go fill your stomach.

    In this ghost market, in addition to porcelain pieces, there is everything you need. For example, there is a strange stone place in front of Meng Zitao, and a two-meter square stall with various stones, large and small, no less than four or five.  Ten bucks.  The largest one is about as big as the fist of four or five adults, while the smaller one is as thick as two fingers.

    Speaking of which, the shapes of these strange stones are also rich and colorful. They are born with various shapes. Coupled with man-made imagination, the interest contained in them gradually becomes more profound.

    "It's like the meat-shaped stone "Dongpo Meat" on the stall. Its lifelike appearance makes everyone who sees it can't help but admire it.
