Chapter 350: An Authentic Porcelain Piece
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ever since Bai Lin opened the cloth bag, Master Tu had been staring at the porcelain that she took out. The azure color and the shape of the small pot looked extremely familiar to him.
Everyone was confused. How could such a broken thing be worth Master Tu t s personal inspection?
Suddenly, someone whispered, “Is there going to be a big change with Bai Lin’s situation…”
Master Tu looked at it for a while and took out an exquisite magnifying glass from his pocket.
He placed the porcelain cup on the square table and observed it carefully for a while.
Just as he was looking at it, the porcelain suddenly made a very light “ding” sound.
“Ah! This—this is…
Hearing the sound, Master Tu was stunned.
The sound was very soft, and only the small group of people nearby could hear it.
Thanks to the fact that everyone held their breath when Master Tu took out a magnifying glass, the banquet hall was silent for a while, leaving only the sound of breathing, which made the crisp sound particularly obvious.
“Could it be… broken?” someone asked in an extremely low voice, and someone immediately poked his arm.
“How dare you spout nonsense in front of Master Tu?!”
The banquet hall immediately fell silent.
Master Tu gently lifted the porcelain, his movements surprisingly careful. When he turned around, there were tears in his eyes.
“Elder Mrs. Yan, you’ve obtained a treasure today. It’s truly worthy of congratulations, truly worthy of celebrations! ”
Elder Mrs. Yan was a little confused. This was just an ordinary piece of porcelain. How could it be a treasure?
The banquet hall was immediately filled with gasps.
If even Master Tu said it was a treasure, how precious must it be?!
“Why is this a treasure? Please forgive my poor awareness, Master Tu, please explain it to me.” Elder Mrs. Yan looked at Master Tu with an inquisitive gaze.
She had never been embarrassed by her ignorance. If she wanted to know something, she would ask. She would never pretend to know something if she knew only half of it. It was because of this pragmatic spirit of seeking the truth that Master Tu admired her a lot.
“This is an authentic piece of porcelain from the Song Dynasty’s official kiln, and it’s azure ice crack pattern. It’s extremely rare!”
“What? It’s a genuine piece?!” someone in the banquet hall could not hold back his surprise and cried out. This did not escape Master Tu e s ears.
He frowned unhappily and looked at the person who had spoken. “Hmph, you only know how to spend a lot of money to buy these treasures and display them at home. You don’t know how precious these antiques are! You don’t know anything and only know how to talk nonsense. Even if the treasure is in your hands, it’ll only be a pity, not a joy!’
This reprimand made a few people in the hall so embarrassed that they could not raise their heads. When they ridiculed Bai Lin, they were the loudest.
Master Tu turned to Elder Mrs. Yan and continued to explain, “The azure color of this piece of porcelain is extremely clear. It can be seen that this is a work of art produced when the craftsman reached a certain level of coloring skill. This kind of pot-shaped porcelain was common in the Song Dynasty, but it’s very rare to see it in azure with ice cracks pattern.”
Elder Mrs. Yan listened as she looked at the porcelain carefully, nodding her head repeatedly.
She did feel that the porcelain was extraordinary at first sight, but she was not a professional and did not collect porcelain antiques often, so she knew little about these artifacts.
Now that she had heard Master Tu t s explanation, her appreciation for the beauty of the porcelain came more straightforward to her.
“Look at the lines on the surface.” Master Tu praised, “It’s taken care of very well. The pattern is fine and dense. It’s even more crystal clear against the azure background. It’s as fascinating as when it was just unearthed…”
“Did you say… when it was just unearthed?” Elder Mrs. Yan caught the hidden message in his words and blurted out.
“Yes.” Master Tu took out his handkerchief and wiped away the tears on the corner of his eyes.
“This is indeed one of the porcelain pieces that I saw when I first went to the tomb with my teacher,” Master Tu smiled and said, “1 was mesmerized by its color when I first saw it. It was that tomb-diving experience that made me determined to devote myself to archeology. I didn’t expect to see it again at my age, My life is complete now.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked..
