Under the guidance of Mr. Zhu, Yang Jing rode his tricycle and soon arrived at the former residence of Master Pei Shimin. Master Pei's home is similar to the house where Mr. Zhu lives now, both are two-story buildings with brick and wood structures. According to Mr. Zhu, Master Pei's eldest son now lives here.
Master Pei's eldest son was surprised by Mr. Zhu's arrival, but the two families had a good relationship, so when Mr. Zhu explained his purpose and indicated that Yang Jing was willing to purchase the purple clay teapots for 300 yuan each, Master Pei's eldest son happily took out seven purple clay teapots.
"These are the pots left behind by my father. They were all made by my father himself. I can guarantee that." Master Pei's eldest son said firmly.
These seven pots are all single pots, there is no set, but these pots all make Yang Jing's eyes light up.
The styles of these seven pots are very simple and ancient, and it is obvious that Master Pei imitated the works of his predecessors. But it is precisely for this reason that these seven pots are extremely precious.
You should know that Master Pei's nickname is "Mingyuan No. 2". He is famous for imitating the works of Chen Mingyuan, the master of purple clay teapots in the Qing Dynasty. The purple clay teapots he imitated from Chen Mingyuan and other predecessors are so good in both shape and charm that they are indistinguishable from the real ones. In particular, the "Tianji Teapot" made by Master Pei after he arrived in Shanghai was praised as "the twin brother of Chen Mingyuan's Tianji Teapot".
The teapot was indeed made to perfection, with both form and spirit being perfect. Even when placed next to Master Chen Mingyuan's Tianji teapot, it is difficult to tell the real thing from the fake.
Later, Master Pei imitated a series of ancient works such as the "Dragon and Phoenix Pot", "Golden Toad Water Bowl", "Snail Water Bowl", "Gourd Water Bowl", etc., and Master Pei's fame soared.
Master Pei was famous for his imitations of ancient works. Several of his pots that were sold for millions of yuan in later generations were imitations of ancient works.
The seven single pots in front of him are all imitations of ancient works. For Yang Jing, there is nothing better than this.
