Chapter 989: Chapter 989: White Rabbit Gazing at the Moon painting

"Good!"

After saying this, Lin Feng picked up the recently bought items from the ground and placed them on the coffee table.

Old Master Zhuang couldn’t wait to open the bag and take a look.

Immediately, he frowned.

This...

After looking at it briefly, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the ordinary-looking bowl, examining it seriously.

He opened the drawer under the coffee table, took out a pair of reading glasses, and started to carefully scrutinize it.

Lin Feng watched Old Master Zhuang calmly, remaining silent.

Old Master Zhuang occasionally furrowed his brows and occasionally showed a smile.

After a while...

Old Master Zhuang gently put down the porcelain bowl in his hand.

With a smile, he looked at Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi and began to speak.

"This bowl is: Height: 5.9cm; Diameter: 11.4cm; Base Diameter: 5.8cm. The thickness of the body is moderate, the shape is regular, the texture is delicate and clean, the craftsmanship is extremely rich, and the composition and painting are meticulous."

"Moreover, the glaze is white with a hint of blue, the glaze color is smooth and bright, the surface is shiny and moisturized, the areas where glaze accumulates appear duck egg blue, the brightness of the glaze sometimes gives a flashing feeling, and the base ring glaze shows a faint water green color."

"This is indeed a Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl."

"Lin, my young friend, has a keen eye!"

Lin Feng smiled but said nothing.

Zhang Yuxi was listening in a daze, feeling curious, she softly spoke.

"Old Master Zhuang, is this Yuan dynasty blue and white bowl very precious?"

Old Master Zhuang glanced at Zhang Yuxi and chuckled.

"Little girl, let me tell you, it’s not just precious, there was a Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl at an auction before, it sold for over four million!"

"Ah??"

"So much money!"

Zhang Yuxi covered her mouth in shock.

Just now, Lin Feng said it was at least several hundred thousand, which she already thought was high!

Now Old Master Zhuang says this little thing is worth millions, she is truly shocked!

"But, what a pity..."

Old Master Zhuang shook his head, sighing regretfully.

"Such a pity..."

"This bowl’s body glaze flashes slightly blue, with a subtle blue amidst the warmth, besides the base ring showing water green, the body glaze commonly appears faint tusk yellow, sometimes milky white, its coloration gently varies with air humidity and temperature changes."

"It’s just that the surface of the body shows a dense skin shell layer, the glaze is not smooth, it feels uneven when touching."

"Observing this bowl’s patterns, it should be a product of Jingdezhen’s folk kiln from the late Yuan and early Ming periods."

"Folk kilns are somewhat inferior to official kilns, the valuation should be between four to five hundred thousand, at auction it might be a bit higher, but wouldn’t reach seven figures."

Old Master Zhuang said, looking at Lin Feng, laughed and spoke.

"How does my young friend Lin consider my opinion?"

"Four to five hundred thousand, that’s still impressive!"

Zhang Yuxi thought to herself.

Lin Feng smiled, looked at Old Master Zhuang, with some depth in his words.

"Old Master Zhuang, please take a closer look once more..."

"Hmm??"

Seeing Lin Feng say this, Old Master Zhuang felt somewhat puzzled and unconvinced.

He picked up the Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl again, put on his glasses, and meticulously checked for any overlooked details.

After a long while, Old Master Zhuang couldn’t find where he went wrong.

Then he gently put down the blue and white porcelain bowl, looked at Lin Feng with some dissatisfaction, and said.

"I don’t know, young friend Lin, what do you mean by this?"

"Forgive my poor sight, please enlighten me!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled, he looked at Old Master Zhuang and slowly spoke.

"What Old Master Zhuang said previously was indeed correct."

"Starting from the first year of Yuan dynasty’s Yanyou era, it was expressly forbidden for ’double-horned five-clawed dragon patterns’ and ’qilin, phoenix, rabbit, lingzhi,’ etc., to be used by subjects and ordinary folk. Hence, the distinction between official and folk kilns."

"In Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain, three-clawed and four-clawed dragon patterns and roughly made objects were primarily folk kiln products used by subjects and ordinary folk."

"Therefore, any blue and white porcelain with prohibited patterns were official kiln items produced under the command of folk kilns."

"Old Master Zhuang might have forgotten, but among Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain without these patterns, a significant portion must be official kiln items."

Then Lin Feng gently picked up the Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain bowl on the table and spoke.

"Old Master Zhuang, please observe, this bowl’s rim is wide and somewhat low, the base is unglaed, the body’s spiral patterns are coarse, with visible raised junction points in the joints, based on this craftsmanship, it shouldn’t be as Old Master Zhuang stated from the late Yuan or early Ming period, but rather from the early to mid Yuan dynasty period, when firing technology was insufficient causing this!"

"There’s one more thing, the bottom of the bowl has a delicate White Rabbit Gazing at the Moon painting, perhaps due to its subtly, often overlooked!"

"If Old Master Zhuang doesn’t believe it, pour water into the bowl and take a look!"

After Lin Feng spoke, Old Master Zhuang was greatly perplexed.

He picked up the kettle on the table, poured half a bowl of hot water into it.

Then he saw a small white rabbit standing on its forefeet, as the light scattered into the water, it unfurled like a circle of a moon reflected in the water.

The painting of the White Rabbit Gazing at the Moon vividly appeared at the bottom of the bowl!

Old Master Zhuang widened his eyes, barely able to believe it!

"Ingenious, truly ingenious!"

Old Master Zhuang muttered in awe.

Zhang Yuxi was also staring in amazement at this scene.

Her heart was full of shock, how magical!

The wisdom of ancient people is really awe-inspiring!

After a while.

Old Master Zhuang snapped back, picked up his teacup in front, and drank it all.

Then, with a complicated expression, he looked at Lin Feng, sighed, and spoke.

"Young friend Lin, what remarkable eyesight!"

"I humbly admit defeat!"

Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, speaking.

"Old Master Zhuang overpraises, initially I was of the same opinion as him."

"Later I thought about it, it was also by chance that I discovered this point!" ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Hmm??"

"I wonder how young friend Lin discovered this?"

Old Master Zhuang asked with some curiosity.

Similarly, Zhang Yuxi’s face was full of curiosity, looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled lightly and spoke.

"That really was a coincidence, originally what Old Master Zhuang said was more or less what I initially thought, just now I suddenly remembered, when buying this bowl."

"At that time, the shop owner used this bowl to hold water to drink; when she poured out the water, I seemed to see a flash of a pattern, but just now I didn’t see the pattern."

"When Old Master Zhuang held the bowl for examination, the bottom of the bowl faced towards me, I looked closely and finally noticed this subtle pattern, so I overturned my previous conclusion."

"I see..."

After Lin Feng explained, Old Master Zhuang suddenly realized!

This pattern is indeed subtle enough to be easily ignored, but failing to notice it means I mishandled it!

Old Master Zhuang laughed self-deprecatingly.

In his heart, he appreciated Lin Feng even more!

"Lin Feng, you’re amazing!"

Zhang Yuxi smiled sweetly at Lin Feng!

Lin Feng turned to look at Zhang Yuxi, seeing her looking at him with admiration, he couldn’t help but smile.

He gently rubbed Zhang Yuxi’s little head with a tender expression.

"Of course, don’t you know who her husband is, haha..."

"Hehe..."

Zhang Yuxi also laughed sweetly.
