The porcelain in this big iron box is not big, but small and medium-sized, so there are a lot of porcelain in this box.
In addition to the protection of thatch, each porcelain is wrapped with a layer of oil paper, and inside the oil paper is wrapped with a layer of cotton paper. Obviously, there are masters proficient in antiques among the little devils who stored these treasures. Otherwise, with the temperament of those big soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to protect these porcelain so well.
Casually pick up a porcelain wrapped in oil paper and cotton paper. From the shape, the porcelain should be a bowl. After carefully uncovering the oil paper and cotton paper, it turns out to be a bowl. To be exact, it is a bowl with blue and white twigs and flower patterns.
This bowl has the typical characteristics of blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, the carcass is thicker, which is heavier than that of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty. However, this bowl has a high degree of porcelain, so although the carcass is thick, it is dense and fine white. At first glance, we know that this is definitely not a porcelain that can be fired in folk kilns. Yang Jing can judge this even without holy ring identification.
The green material used in this bowl has severe dizziness, which is obviously the domestic green material used. In history, the blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty was more dizzy, which has become an important evidence to identify the blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty.
Yang Jing turned the bowl over. As a result, the style at the bottom of the bowl surprised Yang Jing.
"Hongwu year system".
There were only four words at the bottom of the bowl, but these four words made Yang Jing's heart jump uncontrollably.
This blue and white flower bowl with tangled branches and flower patterns is actually an official kiln porcelain in the Hongwu Period of the early Ming Dynasty, and it is also an official kiln porcelain with special knowledge! It's like pie falling from the sky.
You know, Chinese ancient porcelain did not use the emperor's year before Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this statement is only judged by the porcelain found at present. Song porcelain, including yuan porcelain, did not use the emperor's year as a recognition, which can be recognized. Using the emperor's year as a recognition began in the Ming Dynasty.
No one is sure whether it began with Hongwu or Yongle.
At present, there is no official kiln porcelain with a model year in the Hongwu Period, and there are very few folk kilns. Only those who write "Fu" and "Shou" in blue and white can be seen. In addition, the celadon and white porcelain pot with the chronological style of "made here on February 27, the seventh year of Hongwu" found in Yushan, Jiangxi Province is engraved on the belly of the pot. It is an extremely rare artifact with a clear Hongwu model year.
It is for this reason that archaeologists unanimously believe that it began in the Yongle period to use the emperor's year.
But the appearance of the blue and white flower bowl with tangled branches and flowers directly breaks this recognition, that is, once the bowl is born, the Chinese ancient porcelain will no longer be the Emperor Yongle, but his father Zhu Yuanzhang!
This discovery has definitely made a breakthrough in the research of ancient Chinese porcelain, but it's no wonder that no matter Hong Wu or Yongle, they are serious men. No matter how awesome Yongle is, they have to honestly call "Dad" when they see Hong Wu!
Since Yongle used the emperor's year as his recognition, he probably learned it from his father.
Although it is an estimate, this possibility is great! Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are both brilliant emperors. Lao Tzu's heroes are reflected in this pair of men incisively and vividly. But the reason why Emperor Yongle is so powerful is that it is obviously impossible without the teaching of his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhu Di learned a lot from his father when he was a child, and then even used the year to make official kiln porcelain.
Before, it was not determined that the recognition with the year did not start with Hongwu emperor, that is because later archaeologists did not find any Hongwu Guan kiln porcelain with the year. Now there is such a serious blue and white porcelain from Hongwu official kiln, and it still has a model year. This is not a breakthrough. What is it?
Just from the archaeological value, the archaeological value of this small blue and white tangled flower bowl is even higher than the two yuan blue and white figure cans!
After using the holy ring to identify it, Yang Jing was really satisfied that the blue and white tangled flower bowl was indeed made of blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen official kiln in the 21st year of Hongwu.
"Good things! Really good things!" Yang jingle thought Zizi.
In fact, this bowl is not only of archaeological value, but also of extremely high value. This is the only official kiln blue and white porcelain with Hongwu model year found in the world so far. It is unique in the world. How high is its value?
There are still three blue and white porcelain bottles with Hongwu model year in the world. If they are photographed, how much will it cost?
To make no exaggeration, just this bowl is enough for Yang Jing to be satisfied.
But unfortunately, this big iron box surprised Yang Jing more than that.
After putting the Hongwu blue and white tangled flower bowl together with the two yuan blue and white figure cans, Yang Jingyou casually opened another wrapped porcelain. As a result, the porcelain also brought Yang Jin a big surprise.
This is a blue and white lion ball core hand pressing cup in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Whether from the shape, decoration or other aspects, this is another high-quality official kiln porcelain in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Jing wouldn't be surprised if it was just this hand pressing cup, but what if it was a set of four hand pressing cups?
Yes, among the porcelain found next, Yang Jing found three other hand pressing cups with different patterns, one is Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup in Huaxin, the other is Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup in Mandarin Duck lying lotus, and the other is Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup in bamboo and stone Ganoderma lucidum. The first one discovered as like as two peas in the book of the year of the double lion embroidered ball, the four cups and the same size of the hand pressed cups constitute four cups.
Among them, the Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup of mandarin duck lying lotus and bamboo stone Ganoderma lucidum are also collected in the Palace Museum, but they are copied during the Wanli period. In particular, the hand pressing cup of bamboo stone Ganoderma lucidum is not collected even in the Palace Museum, and no one has ever heard of collecting this kind of decorative hand pressing cup in other places.
The four pressing cups are all serious Yongle official kiln porcelain, and their value is not general.
In addition to this set of hand pressing cups, Yang Jing also found more than 30 pieces of all kinds of official kiln porcelain from Hongwu to Wanli, from Hongwu blue and white porcelain to Yongxuan blue and white porcelain, Yongxuan underglaze color and Jiawan colorful porcelain, almost covering the fine official kiln products of all periods of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the biggest discovery is the set of four Chenghua doucai chicken jar cups!
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the development of its porcelain reached the peak level. In the Ming Dynasty, Chinese porcelain really realized the pattern of a hundred flowers in full bloom.
From blue and white porcelain to underglaze color, overglaze color, to monochrome glaze and variegated glaze, there are countless porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. But throughout the Ming Dynasty, the most famous porcelain is the doucai porcelain in Chenghua years!
Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is the most famous porcelain in Chenghua. Of course, this Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is composed of three aspects: Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup.
Chenghua refers to the year of Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Chenghua was used for a total of 23 years.
Doucai, also known as doucai, is a treasure of Chinese traditional porcelain making technology. Chuang Shao was created during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The fighting color in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty is the most respected. It is a decorative variety combining underglaze color (blue and white) and overglaze color.
According to historical documents, doucai began in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, but the doucai porcelain in Xuande is very rare. Therefore, doucai in the Chenghua period is the most respected. It is also called "kiln color" or "five colors between blue and white" in the documents of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The pattern painting of Chenghua doucai porcelain handed down from generation to generation is concise, mainly including flowers, birds and characters. Its practice is to use blue and white to outline the outline of the painted pattern on the white porcelain body, cover the glaze and burn it at high temperature, then fill different colors on the glaze according to different parts of the pattern, generally three to five kinds, and finally burn it in the color furnace at low temperature
Chenghua doucai can also be divided into stippling, covering, dyeing, filling, etc. in addition to individual large bowls, most of Chenghua doucai are small and unique in shape, including cup type cup, chicken jar cup, small handle cup, etc. there is also a cover pot painted with seahorses or flowers, with a blue and white word "ten thousand" at the bottom.
As for the chicken jar cup, it is named because it is shaped like a jar and the main pattern is chicken stone. There are many Chenghua doucai utensils decorated with chicken stone, such as chicken stone Hat Cup, chicken stone high foot cup, chicken stone bowl, chicken stone pot, chicken stone tea plate and so on.
Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is to lay the skimming mouth with a diameter of about 8 cm on the outer wall of the foot bowl, first draw the outline of the decoration with blue and white fine lines, then glaze it into the kiln, burn the carcass at a high temperature of about 1300 degrees, and then fill the reserved blue and white decoration with red, green and yellow, and then bake it in the kiln at low temperature for a second time.
On the outer wall, peony Lake stone and orchid Lake stone are used to divide the picture into two groups. One group shows a male chicken holding her head high, a female chicken and a chick pecking at a centipede, and another two chicks playing one by one; the other group shows a male chicken crowing with her neck, and a female chicken and three chicks pecking at a centipede. The picture is vivid and interesting.
Chicken jar cup is one of Mingcheng huadoucai cups and drinking utensils. The shape is open, shallow abdomen and lying feet.
In fact, strictly speaking, the name of Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is really a bit earthy than the tall names of other porcelain in the Ming or Qing Dynasties, but it's just that the porcelain with such a name is earthy. Its value is in the forefront of Chinese porcelain, and it's very interesting about the origin of this chicken jar cup Human story.
Although Chenghua emperor has unlimited scenery after becoming an emperor, he is the son of heaven, but who knows that Zhu Jianshen was actually a lonely child when he was young.
When Zhu Jianshen was less than two years old, his father, Ming Yingzong Zhuqi Town, was captured by the vara people because of the change of the civil castle, and then the emperor became his uncle. Therefore, the child was helpless in the deep palace and danger was everywhere. His uncle would get rid of him at any time for the sake of the throne. From the age of two, loneliness and fear had been haunting the child. For him, childhood was gray In this gloomy childhood, the only thing that can bring comfort to him is the palace maid Wan Shi.
At that time, Wan, who was only a palace maid, was 17 years older than Zhu Jianshen, but it was this woman like her mother who always accompanied Zhu Jianshen, comforted him and took care of his life. In his young heart, the person who guarded him day and night was the one he could rely on.
Later, when Zhu saw that the crown prince was abolished, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered. People around him packed their bags and left. Only the maid surnamed Wan stayed with him from beginning to end.
Later, Zhu Jianshen's father, Zhu Qizhen, launched the "change of seizing the door" and regained the throne. Then Zhu Jianshen was honored as a great treasure after his father died and became the son of heaven.
Although he became the son of heaven, his tragic childhood experience made Zhu Jianshen have a deep desire for family affection. The love of his life was Wan zhener who had always been with him.
The chicken jar cup was made by Zhu Jianshen in order to please imperial concubine Wan, who is 17 years older than him. According to textual research, the design of the chicken jar Cup comes from the picture of the son and hen of the Song Dynasty, which shows the emperor's feelings of commemorating the years when the imperial concubine caressed him when he was young, hoping for family harmony and longevity.
This kind of chicken jar cup, which supports the deep friendship of Chenghua emperor, is the imperial wine cup of Chenghua emperor. The firing of this kind of porcelain is very difficult. In addition, it is the emperor's imperial wine cup, so this kind of chicken jar cup is very precious. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli was eager to have a Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup, and the price at that time could be described as sky high. "The true record of Shenzong": "Shenzong fashion food. There is a pair of Chenghua colored chicken jar cups in front of the emperor, which is worth 100000."
This small cup was born of royal blood and was only used by the emperor and a few imperial concubines. According to historical records, at that time, the Chenghua emperor did not reward even his closest ministers except for the chicken jar cup as a reward to several vassal envoys who came to pay tribute. Moreover, because the emperor had very high requirements for quality, he almost made a hundred and kept one. Before the Republic of China, there was no possibility of flowing out of the court.
So there is almost no such small cup. In modern times, there are only ten Chenghua color chicken jar cups known all over the world!
At the spring auction of Chinese porcelain and handicrafts held by Sotheby's on Hong Kong Island on April 8, 2014, Mr. Liu Yiqian, a famous collection master in Shanghai, finally photographed the Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup collected by meiyintang at the price of HK $281.24 million after eight rounds of bidding!
Now, four complete sets of Chenghua doucai chicken jar cups have been found in this big iron box. This discovery is really no less than the two yuan blue and white figure cans just found!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The porcelain in this big iron box is not big, but small and medium-sized, so there are a lot of porcelain in this box.
In addition to the protection of thatch, each porcelain is wrapped with a layer of oil paper, and inside the oil paper is wrapped with a layer of cotton paper. Obviously, there are masters proficient in antiques among the little devils who stored these treasures. Otherwise, with the temperament of those big soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to protect these porcelain so well.
Casually pick up a porcelain wrapped in oil paper and cotton paper. From the shape, the porcelain should be a bowl. After carefully uncovering the oil paper and cotton paper, it turns out to be a bowl. To be exact, it is a bowl with blue and white twigs and flower patterns.
This bowl has the typical characteristics of blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, the carcass is thicker, which is heavier than that of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty. However, this bowl has a high degree of porcelain, so although the carcass is thick, it is dense and fine white. At first glance, we know that this is definitely not a porcelain that can be fired in folk kilns. Yang Jing can judge this even without holy ring identification.
The green material used in this bowl has severe dizziness, which is obviously the domestic green material used. In history, the blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty was more dizzy, which has become an important evidence to identify the blue and white porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty.
Yang Jing turned the bowl over. As a result, the style at the bottom of the bowl surprised Yang Jing.
"Hongwu year system".
There were only four words at the bottom of the bowl, but these four words made Yang Jing's heart jump uncontrollably.
This blue and white flower bowl with tangled branches and flower patterns is actually an official kiln porcelain in the Hongwu Period of the early Ming Dynasty, and it is also an official kiln porcelain with special knowledge! It's like pie falling from the sky.
You know, Chinese ancient porcelain did not use the emperor's year before Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this statement is only judged by the porcelain found at present. Song porcelain, including yuan porcelain, did not use the emperor's year as a recognition, which can be recognized. Using the emperor's year as a recognition began in the Ming Dynasty.
No one is sure whether it began with Hongwu or Yongle.
At present, there is no official kiln porcelain with a model year in the Hongwu Period, and there are very few folk kilns. Only those who write "Fu" and "Shou" in blue and white can be seen. In addition, the celadon and white porcelain pot with the chronological style of "made here on February 27, the seventh year of Hongwu" found in Yushan, Jiangxi Province is engraved on the belly of the pot. It is an extremely rare artifact with a clear Hongwu model year.
It is for this reason that archaeologists unanimously believe that it began in the Yongle period to use the emperor's year.
But the appearance of the blue and white flower bowl with tangled branches and flowers directly breaks this recognition, that is, once the bowl is born, the Chinese ancient porcelain will no longer be the Emperor Yongle, but his father Zhu Yuanzhang!
This discovery has definitely made a breakthrough in the research of ancient Chinese porcelain, but it's no wonder that no matter Hong Wu or Yongle, they are serious men. No matter how awesome Yongle is, they have to honestly call "Dad" when they see Hong Wu!
Since Yongle used the emperor's year as his recognition, he probably learned it from his father.
Although it is an estimate, this possibility is great! Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are both brilliant emperors. Lao Tzu's heroes are reflected in this pair of men incisively and vividly. But the reason why Emperor Yongle is so powerful is that it is obviously impossible without the teaching of his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhu Di learned a lot from his father when he was a child, and then even used the year to make official kiln porcelain.
Before, it was not determined that the recognition with the year did not start with Hongwu emperor, that is because later archaeologists did not find any Hongwu Guan kiln porcelain with the year. Now there is such a serious blue and white porcelain from Hongwu official kiln, and it still has a model year. This is not a breakthrough. What is it?
Just from the archaeological value, the archaeological value of this small blue and white tangled flower bowl is even higher than the two yuan blue and white figure cans!
After using the holy ring to identify it, Yang Jing was really satisfied that the blue and white tangled flower bowl was indeed made of blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen official kiln in the 21st year of Hongwu.
"Good things! Really good things!" Yang jingle thought Zizi.
In fact, this bowl is not only of archaeological value, but also of extremely high value. This is the only official kiln blue and white porcelain with Hongwu model year found in the world so far. It is unique in the world. How high is its value?
There are still three blue and white porcelain bottles with Hongwu model year in the world. If they are photographed, how much will it cost?
To make no exaggeration, just this bowl is enough for Yang Jing to be satisfied.
But unfortunately, this big iron box surprised Yang Jing more than that.
After putting the Hongwu blue and white tangled flower bowl together with the two yuan blue and white figure cans, Yang Jingyou casually opened another wrapped porcelain. As a result, the porcelain also brought Yang Jin a big surprise.
This is a blue and white lion ball core hand pressing cup in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Whether from the shape, decoration or other aspects, this is another high-quality official kiln porcelain in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Jing wouldn't be surprised if it was just this hand pressing cup, but what if it was a set of four hand pressing cups?
Yes, among the porcelain found next, Yang Jing found three other hand pressing cups with different patterns, one is Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup in Huaxin, the other is Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup in Mandarin Duck lying lotus, and the other is Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup in bamboo and stone Ganoderma lucidum. The first one discovered as like as two peas in the book of the year of the double lion embroidered ball, the four cups and the same size of the hand pressed cups constitute four cups.
Among them, the Yongle blue and white hand pressing cup of mandarin duck lying lotus and bamboo stone Ganoderma lucidum are also collected in the Palace Museum, but they are copied during the Wanli period. In particular, the hand pressing cup of bamboo stone Ganoderma lucidum is not collected even in the Palace Museum, and no one has ever heard of collecting this kind of decorative hand pressing cup in other places.
The four pressing cups are all serious Yongle official kiln porcelain, and their value is not general.
In addition to this set of hand pressing cups, Yang Jing also found more than 30 pieces of all kinds of official kiln porcelain from Hongwu to Wanli, from Hongwu blue and white porcelain to Yongxuan blue and white porcelain, Yongxuan underglaze color and Jiawan colorful porcelain, almost covering the fine official kiln products of all periods of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the biggest discovery is the set of four Chenghua doucai chicken jar cups!
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the development of its porcelain reached the peak level. In the Ming Dynasty, Chinese porcelain really realized the pattern of a hundred flowers in full bloom.
From blue and white porcelain to underglaze color, overglaze color, to monochrome glaze and variegated glaze, there are countless porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. But throughout the Ming Dynasty, the most famous porcelain is the doucai porcelain in Chenghua years!
Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is the most famous porcelain in Chenghua. Of course, this Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is composed of three aspects: Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup.
Chenghua refers to the year of Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Chenghua was used for a total of 23 years.
Doucai, also known as doucai, is a treasure of Chinese traditional porcelain making technology. Chuang Shao was created during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The fighting color in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty is the most respected. It is a decorative variety combining underglaze color (blue and white) and overglaze color.
According to historical documents, doucai began in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, but the doucai porcelain in Xuande is very rare. Therefore, doucai in the Chenghua period is the most respected. It is also called "kiln color" or "five colors between blue and white" in the documents of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The pattern painting of Chenghua doucai porcelain handed down from generation to generation is concise, mainly including flowers, birds and characters. Its practice is to use blue and white to outline the outline of the painted pattern on the white porcelain body, cover the glaze and burn it at high temperature, then fill different colors on the glaze according to different parts of the pattern, generally three to five kinds, and finally burn it in the color furnace at low temperature
Chenghua doucai can also be divided into stippling, covering, dyeing, filling, etc. in addition to individual large bowls, most of Chenghua doucai are small and unique in shape, including cup type cup, chicken jar cup, small handle cup, etc. there is also a cover pot painted with seahorses or flowers, with a blue and white word "ten thousand" at the bottom.
As for the chicken jar cup, it is named because it is shaped like a jar and the main pattern is chicken stone. There are many Chenghua doucai utensils decorated with chicken stone, such as chicken stone Hat Cup, chicken stone high foot cup, chicken stone bowl, chicken stone pot, chicken stone tea plate and so on.
Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is to lay the skimming mouth with a diameter of about 8 cm on the outer wall of the foot bowl, first draw the outline of the decoration with blue and white fine lines, then glaze it into the kiln, burn the carcass at a high temperature of about 1300 degrees, and then fill the reserved blue and white decoration with red, green and yellow, and then bake it in the kiln at low temperature for a second time.
On the outer wall, peony Lake stone and orchid Lake stone are used to divide the picture into two groups. One group shows a male chicken holding her head high, a female chicken and a chick pecking at a centipede, and another two chicks playing one by one; the other group shows a male chicken crowing with her neck, and a female chicken and three chicks pecking at a centipede. The picture is vivid and interesting.
Chicken jar cup is one of Mingcheng huadoucai cups and drinking utensils. The shape is open, shallow abdomen and lying feet.
In fact, strictly speaking, the name of Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is really a bit earthy than the tall names of other porcelain in the Ming or Qing Dynasties, but it's just that the porcelain with such a name is earthy. Its value is in the forefront of Chinese porcelain, and it's very interesting about the origin of this chicken jar cup Human story.
Although Chenghua emperor has unlimited scenery after becoming an emperor, he is the son of heaven, but who knows that Zhu Jianshen was actually a lonely child when he was young.
When Zhu Jianshen was less than two years old, his father, Ming Yingzong Zhuqi Town, was captured by the vara people because of the change of the civil castle, and then the emperor became his uncle. Therefore, the child was helpless in the deep palace and danger was everywhere. His uncle would get rid of him at any time for the sake of the throne. From the age of two, loneliness and fear had been haunting the child. For him, childhood was gray In this gloomy childhood, the only thing that can bring comfort to him is the palace maid Wan Shi.
At that time, Wan, who was only a palace maid, was 17 years older than Zhu Jianshen, but it was this woman like her mother who always accompanied Zhu Jianshen, comforted him and took care of his life. In his young heart, the person who guarded him day and night was the one he could rely on.
Later, when Zhu saw that the crown prince was abolished, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered. People around him packed their bags and left. Only the maid surnamed Wan stayed with him from beginning to end.
Later, Zhu Jianshen's father, Zhu Qizhen, launched the "change of seizing the door" and regained the throne. Then Zhu Jianshen was honored as a great treasure after his father died and became the son of heaven.
Although he became the son of heaven, his tragic childhood experience made Zhu Jianshen have a deep desire for family affection. The love of his life was Wan zhener who had always been with him.
The chicken jar cup was made by Zhu Jianshen in order to please imperial concubine Wan, who is 17 years older than him. According to textual research, the design of the chicken jar Cup comes from the picture of the son and hen of the Song Dynasty, which shows the emperor's feelings of commemorating the years when the imperial concubine caressed him when he was young, hoping for family harmony and longevity.
This kind of chicken jar cup, which supports the deep friendship of Chenghua emperor, is the imperial wine cup of Chenghua emperor. The firing of this kind of porcelain is very difficult. In addition, it is the emperor's imperial wine cup, so this kind of chicken jar cup is very precious. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli was eager to have a Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup, and the price at that time could be described as sky high. "The true record of Shenzong": "Shenzong fashion food. There is a pair of Chenghua colored chicken jar cups in front of the emperor, which is worth 100000."
This small cup was born of royal blood and was only used by the emperor and a few imperial concubines.

Moreover, because the emperor had very high requirements for quality, he almost made a hundred and kept one. Before the Republic of China, there was no possibility of flowing out of the court.
So there is almost no such small cup. In modern times, there are only ten Chenghua color chicken jar cups known all over the world!
At the spring auction of Chinese porcelain and handicrafts held by Sotheby's on Hong Kong Island on April 8, 2014, Mr. Liu Yiqian, a famous collection master in Shanghai, finally photographed the Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup collected by meiyintang at the price of HK $281.24 million after eight rounds of bidding!
Now, four complete sets of Chenghua doucai chicken jar cups have been found in this big iron box. This discovery is really no less than the two yuan blue and white figure cans just found!
The porcelain in this big iron box is not big, but small and medium-sized, so there are a lot of porcelain in this box.In addition to the protection of thatch, each porcelain is wrapped with a layer of oil paper, and inside the oil paper is wrapped with a layer of cotton paper.

In particular, the hand pressing cup of bamboo stone Ganoderma lucidum is not collected even in the Palace Museum, and no one has ever heard of collecting this kind of decorative hand pressing cup in other places.The four pressing cups are all serious Yongle official kiln porcelain, and their value is not general.In addition to this set of hand pressing cups, Yang Jing also found more than 30 pieces of all kinds of official kiln porcelain from Hongwu to Wanli, from Hongwu blue and white porcelain to Yongxuan blue and white porcelain, Yongxuan underglaze color and Jiawan colorful porcelain, almost covering the fine official kiln products of all periods of the Ming Dynasty.Of course, the biggest discovery is the set of four Chenghua doucai chicken jar cups!Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the development of its porcelain reached the peak level. In the Ming Dynasty, Chinese porcelain really realized the pattern of a hundred flowers in full bloom.From blue and white porcelain to underglaze color, overglaze color, to monochrome glaze and variegated glaze, there are countless porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. But throughout the Ming Dynasty, the most famous porcelain is the doucai porcelain in Chenghua years!Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is the most famous porcelain in Chenghua. Of course, this Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is composed of three aspects: Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup.Chenghua refers to the year of Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Chenghua was used for a total of 23 years.Doucai, also known as doucai, is a treasure of Chinese traditional porcelain making technology. Chuang Shao was created during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The fighting color in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty is the most respected. It is a decorative variety combining underglaze color blue and white and overglaze color.According to historical documents, doucai began in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, but the doucai porcelain in Xuande is very rare. Therefore, doucai in the Chenghua period is the most respected. It is also called "kiln color" or "five colors between blue and white" in the documents of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The pattern painting of Chenghua doucai porcelain handed down from generation to generation is concise, mainly including flowers, birds and characters. Its practice is to use blue and white to outline the outline of the painted pattern on the white porcelain body, cover the glaze and burn it at high temperature, then fill different colors on the glaze according to different parts of the pattern, generally three to five kinds, and finally burn it in the color furnace at low temperatureChenghua doucai can also be divided into stippling, covering, dyeing, filling, etc. in addition to individual large bowls, most of Chenghua doucai are small and unique in shape, including cup type cup, chicken jar cup, small handle cup, etc. there is also a cover pot painted with seahorses or flowers, with a blue and white word "ten thousand" at the bottom.As for the chicken jar cup, it is named because it is shaped like a jar and the main pattern is chicken stone. There are many Chenghua doucai utensils decorated with chicken stone, such as chicken stone Hat Cup, chicken stone high foot cup, chicken stone bowl, chicken stone pot, chicken stone tea plate and so on.Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is to lay the skimming mouth with a diameter of about 8 cm on the outer wall of the foot bowl, first draw the outline of the decoration with blue and white fine lines, then glaze it into the kiln, burn the carcass at a high temperature of about 1300 degrees, and then fill the reserved blue and white decoration with red, green and yellow, and then bake it in the kiln at low temperature for a second time.On the outer wall, peony Lake stone and orchid Lake stone are used to divide the picture into two groups. One group shows a male chicken holding her head high, a female chicken and a chick pecking at a centipede, and another two chicks playing one by one; the other group shows a male chicken crowing with her neck, and a female chicken and three chicks pecking at a centipede. The picture is vivid and interesting.Chicken jar cup is one of Mingcheng huadoucai cups and drinking utensils. The shape is open, shallow abdomen and lying feet.In fact, strictly speaking, the name of Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup is really a bit earthy than the tall names of other porcelain in the Ming or Qing Dynasties, but it's just that the porcelain with such a name is earthy. Its value is in the forefront of Chinese porcelain, and it's very interesting about the origin of this chicken jar cup Human story.Although Chenghua emperor has unlimited scenery after becoming an emperor, he is the son of heaven, but who knows that Zhu Jianshen was actually a lonely child when he was young.When Zhu Jianshen was less than two years old, his father, Ming Yingzong Zhuqi Town, was captured by the vara people because of the change of the civil castle, and then the emperor became his uncle. Therefore, the child was helpless in the deep palace and danger was everywhere. His uncle would get rid of him at any time for the sake of the throne. From the age of two, loneliness and fear had been haunting the child. For him, childhood was gray In this gloomy childhood, the only thing that can bring comfort to him is the palace maid Wan Shi.At that time, Wan, who was only a palace maid, was 17 years older than Zhu Jianshen, but it was this woman like her mother who always accompanied Zhu Jianshen, comforted him and took care of his life. In his young heart, the person who guarded him day and night was the one he could rely on.Later, when Zhu saw that the crown prince was abolished, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered. People around him packed their bags and left. Only the maid surnamed Wan stayed with him from beginning to end.Later, Zhu Jianshen's father, Zhu Qizhen, launched the "change of seizing the door" and regained the throne. Then Zhu Jianshen was honored as a great treasure after his father died and became the son of heaven.Although he became the son of heaven, his tragic childhood experience made Zhu Jianshen have a deep desire for family affection. The love of his life was Wan zhener who had always been with him.The chicken jar cup was made by Zhu Jianshen in order to please imperial concubine Wan, who is 17 years older than him. According to textual research, the design of the chicken jar Cup comes from the picture of the son and hen of the Song Dynasty, which shows the emperor's feelings of commemorating the years when the imperial concubine caressed him when he was young, hoping for family harmony and longevity.This kind of chicken jar cup, which supports the deep friendship of Chenghua emperor, is the imperial wine cup of Chenghua emperor. The firing of this kind of porcelain is very difficult. In addition, it is the emperor's imperial wine cup, so this kind of chicken jar cup is very precious. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli was eager to have a Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup, and the price at that time could be described as sky high. "The true record of Shenzong": "Shenzong fashion food. There is a pair of Chenghua colored chicken jar cups in front of the emperor, which is worth 100000."This small cup was born of royal blood and was only used by the emperor and a few imperial concubines. According to historical records, at that time, the Chenghua emperor did not reward even his closest ministers except for the chicken jar cup as a reward to several vassal envoys who came to pay tribute. Moreover, because the emperor had very high requirements for quality, he almost made a hundred and kept one. Before the Republic of China, there was no possibility of flowing out of the court.So there is almost no such small cup. In modern times, there are only ten Chenghua color chicken jar cups known all over the world!At the spring auction of Chinese porcelain and handicrafts held by Sotheby's on Hong Kong Island on April 8, 2014, Mr. Liu Yiqian, a famous collection master in Shanghai, finally photographed the Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup collected by meiyintang at the price of HK $281.24 million after eight rounds of bidding!Now, four complete sets of Chenghua doucai chicken jar cups have been found in this big iron box. This discovery is really no less than the two yuan blue and white figure cans just found!
