Chapter 681 Heart-changing bottle
Lu Fei's few jokes made the little milk dog turn pale with fright, and his fairy spirit was gone, but he was trembling all over.
Seeing the huge contrast between the little puppy, Lu Fei and the other three laughed so hard.
After laughing, Lu Fei came to another box.
Knocking off the copper lock and lifting the cover directly from the front frightened Gao Yuan and the others.
"Lu Fei stop."
"Brother Fei doesn't want it."
Gao Yuan pulled Lu Fei aside and shouted sharply.
"You don't want your fucking life?"
"You forgot, there are hidden weapons in the box!"
Lu Fei chuckled.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, there must be no hidden weapons in this box."
"Brother Fei, how do you know?" Ji Yong asked.
"This is easy to understand."
"If this darkroom is broken into by an outsider, if they open the previous box first, they will definitely be tricked."
"But if the opponent is more than one person, and the first box is hit, will it still be useful to install a hidden weapon in the second box?"
"So, there is no need at all." Lu Fei said.
"That doesn't make sense. What if someone opens the box first?" Ji Yong asked.
"This is a better explanation. I opened the box first and found no hidden weapons."
"This way we can better confuse the enemy."
"That way, the next box will definitely be undefended."
"So I can conclude that there must be no hidden weapons in this box." Lu Fei said.
Gao Yuan shouted with his eyes widened.
"That's not OK!"
"Be careful when sailing. What if someone is different from what you think and installs a hidden weapon?"
"You just taught Xiaolong to be careful in everything. Why did it change when it was your turn?"
"Isn't this what you're doing by risking your life to show off?"
"That's right, when you talk to me, you do one thing after another, and when it's your turn, it gets bigger. It's true!" the little milk dog echoed.
After glaring at the little puppy, Lu Fei smiled at Gao Yuan.
"Brother Gao said, I will correct it next time."
To be honest, Lu Fei was indeed suspected of showing off just now. Being accused by Gao Yuan, Lu Fei immediately blushed.
As before, I cooperated with Gao Yuan to open the lid, and there was no hidden weapon inside.
Although it was the same as Lu Fei guessed, Lu Fei was not too excited.
Gao Yuan is right, be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship!
When I shined a flashlight into it, I saw that the box was full of dry straw.
Seeing these straws, Lu Fei was extremely excited.
The box was filled with dry straw, and there was only one possibility: it contained porcelain.
Before the Republic of China, dry straw was used to absorb shock when transporting porcelain.
When cleaning up the ancient shipwreck, a large number of rotten traces of straw were found inside, which also served as shock absorbers.
When rushing to retrieve the treasure from Muchun's Tomb, Lu Fei used up the high-density foam he brought with him, and Gao Yuan used hay to make it safe, and the effect was surprisingly good.
After a hundred years, although the darkroom was not damp, the straw also showed slight signs of decay, which was not a big deal.
Lu Fei put his hand into the dry straw and touched it, and soon touched a big, cold and hard thing.
Although there was only one item, Lu Fei was so excited that he laughed out loud.
Qian Yongchang's carefully designed darkroom has only two boxes, one of which is equipped with a domineering hidden weapon.
Inside the first box, two extremely valuable treasures were found. This second box would not disappoint Lu Fei even more.
There was only one piece of porcelain in the huge box, and just thinking about it, it couldn't be ordinary.
After the surprise, Lu Fei carefully cleaned out the straw bit by bit.
When one-third of it was cleared, the tip of the iceberg was revealed.
It was this corner that made Lu Fei
He shouted in surprise.
"Fuck!"
"Spin the bottle!"
"This is actually a fucking bottle!"
"Hahaha, that's awesome!"
Seeing the heart-changing bottle, Lu Fei's emotions were aroused to the peak, and he quickly cleaned up like a chicken.
Five minutes later, all the dry straw in the box was cleared. Looking at the pastel hollow revolving bottle standing firmly inside, Lu Fei, who had lived in two generations, almost drooled.
Lu Fei couldn't help but be excited, this was a heart-changing bottle!
Turn the heart in the bottle, turn the heart in the bottle, turn the heart in the bottle, important things must be said three times!
This is the pinnacle of the Qing Dynasty, a legend that astonishes even modern craftsmen!
What's even more awesome is that this heart-turning vase is actually made of porcelain, which is so rare.
As everyone knows, 99% of the few revolving vases in the museum are made of red copper filigree and filled with cloisonné.
The only one in the National Museum, the Qianlong period, the yellow-glazed porcelain revolving vase with carved dragons and dragons is still damn damaged and cannot be rotated at all.
On November 12, 2010, at the British Bainbridges auction, a Qing Qianlong pastel hollowed-out "Ji Qing Yu Yu" porcelain revolving vase appeared. At that time, the transaction price was as high as 500 million and a half Shenzhou coins.
Moreover, the revolving bottle also had two hollow repairs.
Why can a damaged piece still fetch such a high price?
Its value is not only due to the craftsmanship of the revolving bottle, but most importantly, because porcelain revolving bottles are too rare in the world.
The production of porcelain rotating bottles is extremely difficult.
The bottom of the outer bottle should be made into a heart-shaped button, and the bottom of the inner bottle should be made into a heart-shaped groove. The buttons and grooves should be absolutely consistent.
In particular, the drying rate of the outer bottle and the inner bottle must be considered, as well as the shrinkage rate after firing.
If you are not careful and the button and the groove do not match, no matter how hard you put it, it will be in vain.
Therefore, the cost of making a rotating bottle is ten
The big points are often "one in a hundred".
With this kind of firing regardless of cost, only a handful of people succeed in reaching the standard.
After the catastrophe of the Old Summer Palace and the turbulent years of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, none of the surviving complete vessels has been authenticated so far.
The revolving bottle in the box is completely intact and flawless, which is very rare.
Lu Fei giggled around the box, making the other three people feel numb.
After smoking three cigarettes in a row, Lu Fei's excitement calmed down for the most part, and then he carefully took out the revolving bottle.
This vase is 40 centimeters high, 20 centimeters in diameter, and about 21 centimeters in full diameter.
This set of pastel hollow bottles has an outward-facing mouth, a short and thick neck, elephant ears on both sides of the neck, drooping shoulders, and a swollen belly. The inner bottle has a small bottle with a straight belly, which is connected to the neck of the outer bottle and can be rotated left and right.
The small bottle is decorated with pastels on the white glazed floor. The neck and shoulders of the bottle are each painted with twelve consecrations, symmetrical from top to bottom.
In the consecration of the neck, there are "Wannian" and "Jiazi" in regular script and the names of the heavenly stems in seal script. In the consecration of the shoulder, there are the names of the earthly branches in seal script.
These two parts together form a calendar of events.
It means "the cycle goes well and the blessings are continuous". It is a treasure that is both beautiful and practical.
The belly of the vase is decorated with a pattern of intertwining branches on a yellow ground, and four groups of four-season garden windows are hollowed out, showing chrysanthemums in spring, peonies in summer, pomegranates in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter.
Through the scenic window, you can see the picture of a baby playing on the bottle.
Baby play pictures are one of the most vivid, active, common and practical phenomena of national cultural life.
The children were riding horses, playing Tai Chi flags, holding umbrellas, playing drums, or holding lanterns, in various poses, and the scene was very lively.
It expresses the working people's love for life and their pursuit and yearning for spiritual and material civilization, and truly reproduces all aspects of China's folk customs.
The bottle is glazed with turquoise green and has a six-character inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" in blue and white seal script on the bottom.
Luxurious, perfect, and full of royal style.
