Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
The porcelain in this box is also placed in two layers. The upper layer has four extremely exquisite bottles, one of which is a Yongle blue and white double-eared gourd-shaped flat bottle.
This bottle is gourd-shaped, with a narrow mouth, narrow neck, round flat belly and shallow ring foot. There are two ruyi-shaped handles between the two gourd sections in the middle. The upper part of the bottle is decorated with twined flower patterns, and there is a wheel flower on each side of the lower abdomen, surrounded by a circle of flower and leaf patterns. The bottom is inscribed with the four-character seal script "Made in the Yongle Period".
Yang Jing knew that there was a blue and white double-eared gourd-shaped flat bottle of similar style in the Palace Museum, which was also made during the Yongle period, but that bottle had no inscription on the bottom.
But this bottle has a bottom mark, and its value immediately increased by more than ten times!
You know, the official kiln porcelain with the bottom mark during the Yongle period is extremely rare even now, and each piece is a national treasure. And this blue and white double-eared gourd-shaped flat bottle with the bottom mark also fills the collection gap of this type of porcelain in modern times.
The second vase is a blue and white celestial globe vase from the Xuande period, with the six-character two-line regular script inscription "Da Ming Xuande Nian Zhi" on the bottom. This vase is also a rare masterpiece.
As for the third and fourth bottles, they were a little beyond Yang Jing's expectations. These two bottles were also celestial globe bottles, and they were a pair at first glance. The shape, size, and glaze color were almost exactly the same. When Yang Jing saw this pair of celestial globe bottles, he was still wondering, when did the Langyao red celestial globe bottles appear during the Yongle and Xuande eras?
Langyao red is a type of copper red glaze, which was first created during the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty. However, the copper red glaze of the Ming Dynasty was called "ruby red glaze", and its color is very different from that of the later Langyao red. It is almost impossible for this pair of Langyao red celestial globe vases to be fired so well in the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, when he looked at the bottom of the inscription, Yang Jing realized that he had fallen into a misconception.
All the previous porcelains were from the Ming Dynasty, so Yang Jing also thought that the porcelains in this box were also from the Ming Dynasty. However, when he looked at the inscription on the bottom, he discovered that this pair of Langyao red celestial globe vases were actually produced during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.
Obviously, the porcelain in this treasure is not limited to the Ming Dynasty, but also includes porcelain from the Qing Dynasty.
This pair of Langyao red celestial globe vases are exactly the Langyao red celestial globe vases from the Yongzheng period.
This is another pair of bottles. This set of porcelain is extremely valuable. Once it is completed as a set, the price will definitely skyrocket!
Another great pair!
The top layer of the box held four large containers, all of which were bottles. When Yang Jing opened the straw used as a partition in the middle, the four large containers below appeared in front of him.
The following four porcelains are all large, three of which are also bottles. One is a Qianlong light yellow ground foreign color brocade wanshou lianyan long neck gourd bottle. This bottle is smaller than the one collected by Hong Kong Island collector Ms. Zhang Yongzhen, but it is also very valuable. You should know that when Ms. Zhang Yongzhen bought the Qianlong light yellow ground foreign color brocade wanshou lianyan long neck gourd bottle in 2010, she spent a whopping 252 million Hong Kong dollars!
Although this bottle is not as big as the one collected by Ms. Zhang Yongzhen, it is not small either. If it is taken out, it will definitely be a national treasure.
The other two bottles are also a pair, they are Kangxi enameled colored tube bottles.
The enamel colored cylindrical vase is a very rare vessel type. Enamel color originated in the reign of Emperor Kangxi and reached its peak during the reigns of Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong. However, cylindrical bottles were rarely used in the enamel colored vessels during the reigns of Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong, because cylindrical bottles were a popular vessel type in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The cylindrical vase is also called the elephant leg vase. It has a relatively wide mouth that is slightly tilted outward; a relatively straight neck, sloping shoulders and a long belly; and an unglazed sand bottom.
This type of cylindrical bottle was first created during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. However, because the name of the cylindrical bottle implies "the unification of the world by the Qing Dynasty", it was used from the Shunzhi period to the Kangxi period and became one of the most popular utensils at that time.
However, most of the cylindrical bottles from the Shun and Kang periods were blue and white porcelain, and there were very few enameled cylindrical bottles. But here there is a pair of enameled cylindrical bottles, which is simply too rare!
As for the fourth large vessel, it is not a bottle, but a blue-and-white dragon jar produced during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty! The bottom diameter of this blue-and-white dragon jar is close to 40 centimeters, and the height is close to 50 centimeters. As for the upper diameter, it is about the same as the height, which is also close to half a meter.
This large Jiaqing blue and white dragon jar alone takes up almost a quarter of the space in the box.
This dragon jar alone is a rare national treasure-level blue and white porcelain, but it is not just this dragon jar that surprises Yang Jing, because there is something else inside this dragon jar...
PS: I would like to thank "很懒的鱼" for the reward of 100.
