Less than a month before the end of the auction, the lunar festival "Li Dong" has arrived, Beijing has been heavy snow on the day, and Hong Kong is still blue sky and white clouds, sunny beach. In the middle of the night, a howling wind woke me up, it turned out that the cold current arrived, I hurriedly got up and closed the window, and suddenly found that the temperature had dropped sharply. The evening is still as warm as the middle of summer, and the winter is cold in the middle of the night, and the world has become a little unpredictable.

In the morning, before getting up, the mobile phone "ding-dong", Wei Shi sent a WeChat message over: "Congratulations on picking up the leak!" ”
I'm confused and don't know what's going on?
Wei Shi then forwarded an online article "Behind the Legend" Hong Kong Guardian 2021 Autumn Auction "Dongbo Zhaizang Ancient Chinese Ceramics", which was written by Mr. Ji Shaowen, whose online name is "Panda", when he was in the winter snow, which was just written last night.
Ji Wenzhong selected several lots for analysis, which talked about the above two pieces of "official" style kiln porcelain, and for the triangular disc, he analyzed it like this:
"This is a five-generation to early Northern Song Dynasty fixed kiln print butterfly pattern triangle plate, the bottom engraved 'official' character, this kind of shape is mostly found in Liao porcelain, and similar artifacts in the Liao tomb archaeological excavations excavated, before the auction several collectors asked me whether this piece is Liao porcelain, my personal view is that this work or Quyang Ding kiln firing, whether it is glazed, tire and ' The style of the official character presents the typical characteristics of the kiln, the shape and process source of such works is still gold and silverware, and the lines of this triangle disc are very smooth and beautiful, and the style of the official character is very regular, which is the same as a pair of fixed kiln mold printing square discs auctioned by Christie's in the 2018 floating leisure special session, which can be compared, and at the same time, compared with the transaction price of Christie's pair, then this piece can be called a big 'leak'.

After some examination, Mr. Ji believes that "this piece is a big leak", because Christie's pair of Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln butterfly pattern square discs were sold for HK$9.46 million in 2018, and compared with the two, this triangle disc is obviously a big leak.
