Antique porcelain collection method first, want? Ancient times? . Ancient porcelain and antiques are expensive in one? Ancient times? Words. Ancient porcelain is a traditional collection, and the preservation of porcelain is not as easy as jade and bronze stone. The less ancient, the more expensive. In Korean history, the rich white porcelain of the Li Dynasty is probably equivalent to the white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty in China, and Koreans cherish it very much. White porcelain of the Li Dynasty with excellent appearance is often regarded as a family heirloom by Koreans. At present, the best auction price of white porcelain in the Li Dynasty is mostly several million yuan, and the general white porcelain also has a drop hammer price of several hundred thousand yuan. Although its auction price is much lower than that of contemporary Ming celadon, compared with modern Hermes porcelain, ancient porcelain more than 400 years ago is obviously more valuable for collection and use? Tall? .

Second, want? Thin? . Rare things are expensive. Few utensils, no one has me, so this kind of ancient porcelain is what people want. For example, Ru Ci in the Song Dynasty was doubly precious because of its rarity. According to relevant statistics, the total number of Ru Ci handed down from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the present does not exceed 100, which are kept in the hands of the Palace Museum and a few collectors. Even if you are rich, you are not as good as Ru Ci. Statement. At present, in the field of ancient porcelain collection at home and abroad, most of them belong to Song Dynasty. You, Jun, Guan, Ge and Ding? The works of five famous kilns are hot spots. However, the white porcelain of the Li Dynasty in the play was copied and fired by some folk kilns in Korea in the16th century, so the overall scarcity is not extremely rare, and it is not too bad for professors to make tableware.

Third, the value of ancient porcelain still lies in porcelain, right? Beautiful? . Works with exquisite utensils, complicated production techniques or artistic interest are naturally sought after, and the higher their collection value. Specifically, the beauty of ancient porcelain is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, the shape, to see whether the shape of ancient porcelain is complete and correct, whether it can give people an open atmosphere or beautiful and elegant beauty; Second, decoration, judging ancient porcelain depends on whether its decoration techniques such as carving, die printing, sticking plastic, glazing, painting and inscription are appropriate, and whether the decoration effect can produce corresponding artistic beauty. The more complete and dignified the properly decorated ancient porcelain, the higher the market price. In the play, the porcelain jar that Qian, the heroine, accidentally broke while cleaning the living room, was decorated because of the inscription of Mr. Xu Yun, a famous North Korean genius in the 6th century. Beautiful? No wonder the price is ridiculously high? Eight winds do not move? The professor is also too distressed to help.

The collection value of porcelain China is the hometown of porcelain, and the invention of porcelain is the great contribution of the Chinese nation to world civilization. China? It's the same word as China. China's early porcelain appeared in the middle of Shang Dynasty in BC16th century. Because the firing process of both the carcass and glaze is still rough, and the firing temperature is low, it shows originality and transition, so it is generally called? Primitive porcelain.

China porcelain evolved from pottery, and the original porcelain originated more than 3000 years ago. In the Song Dynasty, famous kilns were spread all over most of China, which was the most prosperous period of porcelain industry. At that time, Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln were also called the five famous kilns in Song Dynasty. Blue-and-white porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, known as the porcelain capital, became the representative of porcelain. Blue-and-white porcelain enamel is as transparent as water, the tire is thin and light, and white porcelain is painted with blue patterns, which is elegant, fresh and full of vitality. Once blue and white porcelain appeared, it was all the rage and became the crown of Jingdezhen's traditional famous porcelain. Blue-and-white porcelain * * is also called the four famous porcelain, including blue-and-white exquisite porcelain, pastel porcelain and glazed porcelain. In addition, there are porcelain carvings, thin-walled porcelain and multicolored fetal porcelain, all of which are exquisite and unique.

Colored porcelain is one of the great inventions in ancient China. "Porcelain" and "China" are the same word in English, which fully shows that China's exquisite porcelain can be regarded as the representative of China.

The production of high-grade porcelain is much more difficult than ordinary porcelain, so the ancient royal family collected a lot of exquisite porcelain. Porcelain, as one of the luxury products in ancient China, has spread to various countries through various trade channels, and exquisite ancient porcelain has been collected by a large number of collectors as an antique with collection value. Some ancient China porcelains have been sold at sky-high prices, but some national treasure porcelains are not in China. When Europeans and Americans get married, they especially like to send high-grade porcelain tea sets.

As an ancient cultural relic, porcelain has its unique collection value. Porcelain has three collection values: artistic aesthetic value, historical cognitive value and economic investment value. Its economic value depends on historical value and artistic value, and the perfect unity of historical value and artistic value creates high economic value.

In ancient times, porcelain represented users' different status, customs and preferences, cultural and artistic accomplishment, religious belief and porcelain-making technical level, and even the ideology of users and manufacturers. According to the user's identity, porcelain can be divided into two development series: official kiln porcelain and folk kiln porcelain.

In fact, the folk kiln porcelain in any period has a wider use group and more vivid artistic ideas than the official kiln porcelain, which reflects the people's likes and dislikes and ideological changes in politics, military affairs, culture and art. Although the historical storm has drowned most folk kiln porcelain in the long river of history, it has made the survivors glow with brilliant rainbows. Therefore, from a certain point of view, investing in official kiln porcelain is actually investing in its royal status, while collecting folk kiln porcelain is a diversified concept of collecting folk kiln porcelain.

At present, the complete wares of Ming kiln porcelain on the market are mostly blue and white pots and bowls, while the complete wares of colored porcelain are very rare, among which the market value of pots is already high, and only the prices of plates and dishes are still hovering at a relatively low market level, showing two depressions of theoretical research and market price.

The texture of porcelain is denser and harder than pottery, and it is smooth and not easy to absorb water. The pore wall is small, and the fiber structure contains more glassy state and a certain amount of mullite crystals. These characteristics, that is, light, harmful gases and pests, will not affect it. However, due to some shortcomings of the manufacturing process and the limitation of its own materials, porcelain is fragile. Therefore, the top priority of porcelain protection is to prevent impact, extrusion and collision. Small pieces of porcelain must be collected in brocade boxes, and each piece must be placed in a box to prevent friction and collision. Large exposed objects should be placed smoothly, and there should be no hard objects that can easily fall in the surrounding environment. Although porcelain is not afraid of harmful gases, the solution of some substances is harmful to porcelain. For example, alkali has corrosive effect on glaze, and strong acid can change the surface luster of porcelain and discolor the painting.
