Chapter 20: Catching the Pearl, Cloud and Dragon Pattern Goblet

"Little brother, are you sincere in buying it?" the stall owner frowned when he heard the yen.

Wu Duo said very seriously, "This is the gloomy wood of Jin Sinan, but your 10,000 is too high! Your candlestick, the material is very ordinary, only ordinary wood grain, and the work is also simple, I think a few hundred yuan is okay." ”

"Who said that?

"Why don't you call Jin Si Nan?" Wu Duo smiled, "Jin Si Nan is gloomy and woody, and when you shake it against the sun, you will have the feeling of golden silk." ”

The stall owner paused, "It's still different, you're talking about the price of handicrafts, I'm an antique from the Qing Dynasty!"

"How do you tell it's from the Qing Dynasty?"

The stall owner twisted his neck, "I've been in the wood business for many years, don't you have a little eyesight?"

"Well, I'll give you the highest bite at last, a thousand! Okay, I'll take it, no, then two. Wu Duo was no longer verbose, grabbed the handle of the dog cage, and got up.

"Too little, too little!" the stall owner waved his hand.

"Okay, then you're busy, go first. ”

Wu Duo got up and walked away.

When he left, he didn't worry too much about the stall owner not calling him.

Because the stall owner called 10,000, it was obviously too empty. At the same time, he made a bid and expressed his intention to buy.

For antique stall owners, they are not afraid of bargaining and bargaining like Wu Duo, but they are afraid of being like the old lady just now, and they will not ask the price directly.

Of course, the stall owner is not an antique, but he said that he collected it alone. He doesn't make antiques, but what he collects in this way is probably not expensive.

"I said little brother, you add more!"

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Duo took a step, the stall owner spoke.

Wu Duo stopped and half-turned around, "I increased from a few hundred to a thousand, just because I don't like to be verbose." ”

Let's take another step.

"Five thousand!" shouted the stall owner.

Wu Duo walked forward, carrying the dog cage in one hand, raising it with the other, and flung it back.

"Come back! it's almost for you!" shouted the stall owner again.

Wu Duo came back this time and walked to the stall, "How much? Do you know why I bought this thing? Because I process beads, a customer ordered a string of handheld ones with me, and he wanted the same material; ”

When the stall owner heard this, "Good guy, it turned out to be a peer!"

"Who's with you? I'm a craftsman. Wu Duo said nonsense seriously, "If you want to sell it to me, I don't want that piece of material." If you don't sell it for a thousand, I'll wait for two days. Today is a coincidence. ”

"Take it. Alas, I took a thousand, and worked together for nothing. ”

A thousand to collect? Just next to the temple, you can take care of the old lady who believes in Buddhism.

Wu Duo was not verbose, and scanned the code to pay.

The stall owner put it in a plastic bag.

The payment was cleared and he left.

Back at home, Wu Duo first put out the fertilizer, poured water into his basin, opened a bottle of Coke and drank two sips, and then picked up the candlestick.

It's another piece of inner goodness······

In these years, is this the only way to pick up the leaks?

Indeed, in today's antique market, it is difficult to pick up the leaks from under people's noses with a wide eye. First, there are almost no leaks, and second, where will they wait for you to come?

And most of the really good things are actually open, and most of the shopkeepers and stall owners are not laymen, so how can they easily leak out?

The leak is not easy to pick up, but there are more and more eye-catching, because of the top level of high imitation, under the conditions of scientific and technological progress and information accessibility, the tide rises and the boat rises, and the magic is high.

However, no matter what, this moment is still very exciting for Wu Duo!

This candlestick is not from the Qing Dynasty, but it is not new, it is from the Republic of China.

The base of the candlestick is sealed with copper, but it is not heavy, only a layer of copper sheets!

Because inside this pedestal, there is a piece of porcelain!

It's just that I heard too little this time, and I only knew that there was a piece of porcelain in it. Perhaps, it is because the candlestick itself has two materials, copper and wood, and the "periphery" is complicated.

But if you think about it, this hidden design is actually very ingenious.

If it is a dense wood, such as a condensed mahogany, the base will look strange, because it is not needed, and it also destroys the beauty and adds to the painting.

And the gloomy wood is very light, and if you want to make a candlestick, the base must be stable. The base is sealed with copper, and the copper color and gold wire can also reflect each other.

This piece of porcelain is hidden in a semicircular base. From the outside, it is not possible to see how thick the sealed copper is, so the increased weight of the porcelain will make people think that it is caused by the sealed copper. But in reality, the thin copper sheet does not add much weight.

Therefore, with such painstaking efforts, the porcelain hidden here should not be bad!

on a small electric mill.

This time a small stainless steel saw blade with a diameter of a few centimeters was placed on the chuck.

Wu Duo first tentatively sawed a hole along the place where the copper edge met the wood, and then went deeper and deeper.

Until I saw the cotton cloth in the gap.

Then, according to this depth, I saw it in a circle.

A round bottom with a piece of copper was taken down.

Inside the semicircle was a mass of white cotton, tightly stuffed.

But it's not very troublesome to take it out, find a corner and pinch it, and pull it out a little bit.

When the cotton cloth was opened, a blue and white porcelain cup was revealed!

Catch the pearl cloud dragon pattern goblet.

One dragon is to catch the pearl, and the second dragon is to play the pearl.

This dragon, with a vigorous posture, chases after a ball of fire, opens its mouth to swallow, and is full of movement and momentum.

The blue and white hair color of the ornamentation is dark blue and dignified, and the glaze is soft and fat.

The goblet appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, also called the horse cup, this shape is mainly used for riding horses and drinking;

Of course, goblets were also fired after the Yuan Dynasty, although they were not used to drink on horseback, but this shape is still very distinctive.

This cup has a diameter of about 11 centimeters and a height of about 9 centimeters.

Wu Duo did not immediately paste the middle finger of his left hand to "identify", because a small piece of folded rice paper was placed in the center of the cotton-wrapped goblet.

Open it is the size of a palm, and there are several columns of small brushes written on it:

Occasionally, the Yongle official kiln blue and white goblet, very happy, the right to troubled times and secret.

It seems that this is what was secretly hidden during the Republic of China, but he only said this, and he didn't say who he was, so it's hard to figure out now.

Wu Duo picked up the goblet again.

This blue and white cobalt material should be Su Ma Liqing. Yongle official kiln blue and white, it is indeed a large number of Su Ma imported from Persia.

The bottom of the cup is exposed, yellow, slightly coarse, and it is definitely not kaolin, it should be Macang soil. Kaolin was probably used in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the official kiln in the early Ming Dynasty used hemp cang soil.

On the entire goblet, no style recognition was found, but this did not prevent the identification of the official kiln. The standard payment of the official kiln was only started from the Yongle Dynasty, and a considerable number of official kilns were not paid in the dynasty.
