Chapter 2623 The royal gift
After taking off the excess red cloth, Lu Fei pinched it hard with both hands and inadvertently raised the corners of his mouth.
It is indeed my favorite porcelain!
Lu Fei has a lot of the best porcelain in his hands, including the five famous porcelains of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shen Porcelain Chai Kiln, Yuan blue and white, pink green glaze, and revolving vases. But who can have too much of a good thing?
Lu Fei might not be excited if the porcelain was sent by others, but don't forget that this is a gift from Prince Jason on behalf of the royal family.
Products produced by the royal family must be of high quality, not to mention that they attach great importance to themselves. Lu Fei can be sure that this piece of porcelain must be good.
Thinking of this, Lu Fei couldn't wait any longer, and started to remove the shock-proof foam with both hands.
Jason was speechless at this rough behavior.
In his eyes, Mr. Lu Fei is a very gentleman. Now you are acting so roughly, is this really okay?
Lu Fei didn't care what he thought. For Lu Fei, removing this kind of outer packaging was like a woman unpacking a courier. This process would make him quite excited, let alone he didn't pay attention to Jason's expression. To exaggerate, at this moment, Lu Fei even forgot that he was still a groom official today. ??
There were eight layers of anti-shock foam, which made Lu Fei a little impatient when it was unpacked. He couldn't help complaining in his heart that the people who made the packaging were too careful.
This is a collectible, why bother?
Fortunately, Lu Fei's hand speed was fast enough. If Jason were to dismantle it, it would take at least half an hour for the eight floors to be fully opened. Lu Fei would be crazy.
Two minutes later, all eight layers of foam were removed. The last layer of foam was removed, and the porcelain inside was completely displayed in front of Lu Fei.
Seeing this thing, Lu Fei couldn't help but gasp, and his eyes suddenly widened.
It turned out to be it!
OMG!
This is actually the long-necked gourd vase with light yellow earth color and the icing on the cake of Longevity Continuously Drawn by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the best colored glaze works during the Qianlong period.
Lu Fei thought that the gift given to him by the royal family would not be too tacky, but he never expected that it would be this treasure. It has to be said that the generosity of the royal family has far exceeded Lu Fei's expectations, which made Lu Fei have a crush on them. The favorability has increased a bit.
The shape and decoration of this pale yellow long-neck gourd vase are classic imperial porcelain works made in Jingdezhen during the Qianlong period. The pattern design is elegant and noble, making it the most stylish imperial porcelain masterpiece among this type of crafts.
When Jingdezhen imperial porcelain craftsmen adopted new techniques developed in Tiandu during the early Qianlong reign, such luxurious and tasteful decorations emerged.
The zadao brocade technique originated from the inner palace workshop of Tiandu. It is a decoration technique that scratches formal patterns on the glazed ground. The decorations mostly use brocade patterns such as flowers and diamonds, and often appear on the outer walls of bowls and plates, while the inner walls are decorated with Freehand scenery is painted in the natural style.
In Jingdezhen, this style gradually became the mainstream and became more and more perfect. It uses needle tips to carve exquisite and subtle phoenix tail patterns, which is extremely gorgeous and intricate.
The flowers on this vase are painted with clear shades of light and shade, and the colors are soft and subtle. They are coiled around the gold-rimmed alum-red pattern [Longevity and Longevity], just like the blue sky curling around the beams.
A variety of colors overlap and connect one after another, and the composition is meticulous and compact, which is really rare.
The decorative layout and painting style are quite similar, but the orange-red Ruyi stripes are more curled and dense.
The double lotus pattern in the center of both sides of the bottle closely imitates the auspiciousness in the "Gathering of Fortunes" by Castiglione of the Italian Jesuit court.
The meaning of decoration.
Lang Shining respectfully painted this picture as a tribute to Emperor Yongzheng in the first year of Yongzheng's reign. He planted a bunch of flowers with double lotuses, lotus pods, and ears of grain. As he ascended the throne, auspiciousness descended from the sky and his fortune was prosperous.
Near the foot, there is a band of lotus petals rising up, covered with green and white colors and bright pink and peach red. The colors are used from light to dark, and the changes in levels are very dynamic. This is a distinctive feature of the fine pastel paintings between the Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties, but it is rarely used for rolling brocade patterns.
This gourd bottle is quite extraordinary. Regardless of its layers, painting, or meaning, it is the pinnacle of Qianlong's colored glazes. It was precisely because of the appearance of this work that the glorious history of colored glazes in the Qing Dynasty was opened.
Of course, this glorious history is not long, but it is enough to become the finishing touch of Chinese porcelain.
Moreover, this was also one of Emperor Qianlong's favorite pieces of porcelain, and he always accompanied him in his study room day and night.
After the death of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing didn't even dare to play with it, so he directly sent someone to deliver the gourd bottle to the Old Summer Palace as an offering.
However, this unique treasure still could not escape the catastrophe.
After the rise of China's collection industry, many powerful collectors searched for this gourd bottle all over the world. Later, they learned that this treasure was collected by the British royal family, and everyone stopped thinking about it.
Lu Fei also knew that this treasure belonged to the British royal family, but he really didn't think anything wrong about it.
Because everyone knows that this gourd bottle is a super treasure and has been collected by the royal family. Of course, they also know that even if Lu Fei uses tricks, he may not be able to get it.
Moreover, although the royal family is in decline, their prestige is still there. You can disrespect them, but if you want to play tricks with them, you are provoking the entire UK, and even the entire Europe, and that is no joke.
Even with Lu Fei's current strength, he wouldn't dare to do that.
Of course, with his current strength, he can indeed do it, but after getting it, he will definitely become infamous.
His current strength in Europe is indeed great, but he does not dare to openly compete with the British as a whole.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. This is an eternal truth.
Although the three major families are awesome, they don't dare to openly challenge everyone. Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. This is how the original war broke out. The bloody lessons are right in front of you. No one dares to try rashly. What's more, narrowing the road for such a piece of porcelain is not worth the gain.
But Lu Fei didn't expect that the royal family would be so generous and take the initiative to give this treasure to him as a gift. This was indeed an unexpected surprise.
Moreover, the meaning of the gourd bottle is exactly in line with this festive atmosphere.
The sound of gourd is close to that of Fulu, which means good luck; and the shape of gourd is like the Chinese character "吉", which is also good luck.
In Taoism, the gourd is a magical weapon, and it often appears in "Journey to the West". In the 33rd chapter "The outsiders are obsessed with the true nature, the soul helps the original mind", King Jinjiao has a powerful purple gold gourd, and Sun Dasheng also deals with it. No, in the end, I relied on trickery and used the "pretentious" Grandpa Calabash to trick him - still Calabash.
Such a magic weapon brings good fortune upon good fortune.
Therefore, the gourd bottle is simply called the "Daji" bottle.
With good fortune and good fortune, it was indeed very appropriate to give this treasure to Lu Fei on his wedding day.
It has to be said that the royal family has put a lot of effort into themselves, which also shows their sincerity. Lu Fei feels that having such a partner is a very good choice! After taking off the excess red cloth, Lu Fei pinched it hard with both hands and inadvertently raised the corners of his mouth.
