"An old imitation Ru kiln, I'll tell you about it later. Wu Duo finally answered, "Which stall are you talking about?"

Chang Song first pointed quietly.

The stall was far away from the stall where Yu Yao bought the daffodil pot, and the location was relatively remote, and from a distance, the stall owner seemed to be an old man.

"Bronze, he said what about the Western Zhou Dynasty! I said that I would discuss with my companions, if we could see it together, and he said yes. Chang Song was also a little excited.

In fact, Chang Song rejects things that give birth to pits, because such things are really troublesome. What's more, Chang Song also works at the Cultural Relics Bureau.

However, when he heard that the last three generations of bronzes, and it was still a face-to-face deal, Chang Song's heart was itching.

The same is true for Wu Duo.

With Wu Duo's current rank, it is difficult to see the bronzes of the last three generations on the market, and if you want to see them, you can only go to the museum.

But looking at it in a museum is not the same thing as actually trading with it. Even if you only look at it and don't buy it in the process of trading, it is also very attractive and exciting.

Although the market for bronzes has experienced ups and downs, its unique appeal has always fascinated some collectors.

In particular, the bronzes of the first three generations of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties have a strong texture because the copper material is fine and has no sand holes; because the casting is not afraid of time-consuming, the craftsmanship is exquisite and meticulous; because most of them have the function of ritual vessels, the structure is reasonable and the decoration is exquisite. What's more, it carries a deep history and culture, and the spiritual enjoyment it brings is wonderful.

During the Republic of China, although bronzes were classified as miscellaneous, the number and the number of collectors were not comparable to such major items as calligraphy, painting and porcelain, but the bronzes of the three dynasties of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were the most valuable antiques.

In the Liuli Factory, a bronze tripod from the Western Zhou Dynasty could be exchanged for eight pieces of ten pieces of Qianlong's official kiln! Although the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty were not very prosperous at that time, it was difficult for the antique dealers who specialized in dumping the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty to make a lot of money.

In the 80s, there was a significant change in the market situation, and the bronzes gradually declined; in the 90s, not to mention the Qianlong official kiln, a snuff bottle made by the Qing Dynasty officials could be exchanged for a small bronze ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Over the years, the market of the last three generations of bronzes has rebounded, especially in the international market.

In fact, no matter how the market changes, some collectors who like bronzes have never changed their infatuation.

However, the control of bronzes is becoming more and more strict, and nowadays, there are too few things that meet the trading conditions, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see bronzes on the market.

Some auctions are mainly foreign auctions, and you can occasionally see the authentic works of the last three generations. Don't think about it in the antique market, a water of imitations.

Bronze collectors, on the other hand, generally do not sell easily, and they also have their own small circles of trade.

Therefore, people who have just entered the industry want to engage in bronzes, that is, if they are lucky enough to shovel the ground, they will have the opportunity to sneak around.

Wu Duo lit a cigarette and looked at Chang Song, "Are you okay?"

Chang Song also ordered one, "What do you mean?"

"I mean the stuff of the pit, are you fit to trade?"

"According to that, you're not suitable!" Chang Song dusted off his cigarette ashes, "What do you say, I think so, it's illegal to buy, but it's not a big problem to look at it, right?"

"Just look at it and don't buy it?"

"That's how it was planned now. Chang Song pursed his lips, "You said that I am an office clerk, not a front-line staff of the archaeological institute." In fact, even front-line archaeologists may not have the opportunity to encounter a bronze artifact of three generations on site in their lifetime. ”

"It's not a big deal to just look at it and not buy it. But let the leaders of your unit know about this, and you can be in trouble. ”

"When I go to the market and accidentally run into it, what can I do?"

"Okay, if you think it's okay, I'm even more fine!" Wu Duo nodded, "In this antique shop, how can there be anyone who doesn't touch ghosts, let's take a look first." Where did he say?"

He said it was in his suitcase, looking directly behind the stall. If I went to look somewhere else, would I be so interested?" Chang Song replied.

"What, the stall owner's guts are so fat?" Wu Duo didn't expect it.

If that's the case, as long as you don't trade, it's really. No wonder Chang Song tried his best to encourage himself.

"Let's go, let's go. Chang Song took a step.

Wu Duo said as he walked, "It can't be a fake, right? ”

"That's why I'm here to call you! Lend you a pair of discerning eyes! At the same time, if it's really a pit, two people are better than one person. Chang Song hehehe

"You can really do it, you have already calculated it. ”

The two arrived at the stall.

The stall owner looked seventy years old, with gray hair, a square face, rough skin, and ravines, and when he saw Chang Song returning, he smiled and said, "There are not many young people who like bronze now." ”

Wu Duo answered, "Old man, are you really just watching things here?"

"What's this. O man who is in peace, he who looks at it is safe, and he who is restless is not at ease in any place. You two, you just like it, don't you?"

Wu Duoxin said, people are old and fine, this old man is really poisonous when he looks at people.

Subsequently, Wu Duo and Chang Song went around to the back of the stall. His stall is more partial, with a wall on the right, a tree on the left, and the stall next door to the left of the tree. There is also a wall behind the stall, but there is a one-meter open space between it and the stall, and Wu Duo and Chang Song squatted on this open space.

The old man opened the big silver suitcase beside him, opened his mouth to the wall, and blocked one side by himself, Wu Duo and Chang Song were watching on the other side.

This is a bronze gui.

It's not big, the diameter is thirteen or fourteen centimeters, and the height is less than twenty centimeters. Round, open-mouthed, ring-footed, two-eared. The belly is with animal face patterns.

Large areas of green rust look natural.

Gui is an important food vessel, you like Gui Street, you know that it is a place to eat as soon as you hear it. It is also an important ritual vessel, and it is often used together with the tripod when sacrificing.

Wu Duo couldn't see if he could go to the Western Zhou Dynasty, but he could see that this should not be a modern imitation.

Wu Duo was about to reach out and give it a try, but Chang Song picked it up first, looked at the bottom, and there were two inscriptions:

Father.

Although these two words are golden texts, Chang Song recognized them after a slight pause.

Because he often collates and summarizes information in the Cultural Relics Bureau, there is a high probability of "father" and "mother" appearing on bronzes, and he generally knows it. At the same time, the Tiangan cross "A, B, C, D, pente, hexagen, xin, and non decided" also appears frequently, and it is not difficult to recognize Ding.

Father Ding, meaning was cast for his father, and his father's name was Ding. Judging from Ding, his father is estimated to be the fourth in the brother's auction line.

After Chang Song put it down, Wu Duo didn't pick it up again, and directly pasted the middle finger of his left hand.

Well?

It's really not modern, but it's not Western Zhou either······
