Wu Duo listened, "Uncle De, are you going to see something?"

Hu Yunde nodded, "Originally, I gave up, but I almost pushed it off in the end." But after hearing about you picking up the missing carving mother, I suddenly wanted to go and see it again. ”

"What's going on?"

"This is a business introduced by Mr. Jin Shengzhenjin, saying that he is a junior and a painter. He had two snowflake blue things to sell. I asked the account manager and appraiser to go, but when I came back, they said that they were not optimistic, and then I asked the appraiser with the highest porcelain eye here to see it a second time, and when they came back, they said that it was not worth receiving. ”

"Snow Blue?" asked Wu Duo.

Snowflake blue is also an artistic name, and the correct way to say it should be to sprinkle blue glaze.

The glazing method of this kind of porcelain is not to brush the glaze, not to spray the glaze, not to dip the glaze, but to blow the glaze.

Take a bamboo tube, dip it in blue glaze juice, and blow on the surface of the utensil.

In this way, the glaze effect becomes uneven in thickness and shade, and there must be a white background that is not covered by the blue glaze, like snowflakes falling, hence the name.

Snowflake blue glaze was created by the Xuande Dynasty. (The frequency of "Xuande" appearances is very high, no way, who makes this dynasty have more good things.) ）

In the Kangxi Dynasty, snowflake blue carried forward. The snowflake blue of the Kangxi Dynasty is mostly matched with gold painting, which looks magnificent, but it is also criticized by some players, because this gold painting will damage the fresh and refined feeling.

Wu Duo asked this because Hu Yunde made a temporary decision when someone went to see it twice before but was not optimistic. If it weren't for Xuande's things, how could there be such interest?

Hu Yunde nodded, "One is Xuande's money, and the other is not." I was supposed to write back to him by tonight, but I hesitated. ”

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Don't worry, I'll call first and ask if it's convenient in the past. ”

Hu Yunde made a phone call, the things are still in the studio, and the people are also in the studio, and now they can go over.

said that it was Jin Shengzhen's descendant, but Jin Shengzhen's age and qualifications were there, this person was also in his fifties, his surname was Fang, his real name was unknown, and the stage name of the painting was Fang Cunxing.

On the way to drive, Hu Yunde gave a brief introduction.

The two pieces of blue-glazed porcelain in the square inch row, one is a small jar and the other is a large bowl. As the saying goes, an eight-inch bowl is big, and the diameter of this bowl is 27 centimeters, and the abdominal diameter of a small jar is only 20 centimeters, which is actually smaller than a bowl.

There is no money for the bowl, but there is a style for the small can. But the cans are not on the soles of the feet, but on the shoulders with a rectangular white ground, and the horizontal regular script: the Ming Xuande year.

When he arrived at the place, Wu Duo saw that this Fang Cunxing's studio was actually a façade room, with two floors, the first floor was a gallery selling paintings, and the second floor was a studio and a reception room.

On the street where the studio is located, the façade rooms are mainly galleries, bookstores, pen and ink paint shops, etc.

Fang Cunxing is relatively fat, but probably because of his fatness, there are no wrinkles on his face, and his face is full of red. He has long hair and a little back of his head, which makes him look younger because of his thick hair.

Fang Cunxing met with the two on the first floor, and Hu Yunde briefly introduced Wu Duo. After greetings, Fang Cunxing invited them into the reception room on the second floor, there was no sofa and coffee table in the reception room, and a long table similar to a painting table was placed in the center, with ashtrays and tea sets on it, and a few chairs on each side.

After Fang Cunxing invited the two of them to sit down, he didn't pour tea and water, and smiled directly, "Mr. Hu, don't come if you don't like things, if you can't do it, I'll send it to next spring auction." ”

"Teacher Fang, let you laugh, today's antique shop, talent is hard to find, after the first two appraisers came to see, I can't say why, I can only run a third trip." ”

Fang Cunxing looked at Wu Duo, "That means that this Xiao Wu appraiser has a higher eyesight than the appraiser who came before?"

"Teacher Fang, I just entered the industry and came to study with Mr. Hu. Wu Duoying said.

Fang Cunxing waved his hand, "Don't be modest, if you want to study, you should come the first two times." ”

Wu Duoxiao smiled no more, and Hu Yunde said, "Teacher Fang, then bother you to take out the things and take a look, right?"

Fang Cunxing nodded, but first took out a cigarette to hand out the cigarette, and after lighting the cigarette, he said, "Mr. Hu, I don't know if they told you before." When I went out to sketch, I collected these two things from an old house in a village in another province. ”

"That's it. Hu Yunde replied, "There is no problem with the way to come, they also said that although nothing else is accurate, it is definitely not an unearthed thing." ”

"Well, it's best to be clear. Fang Cunxing said, "It's okay if you don't accept things, but I'm afraid of trouble, if I collect them, I won't have to pull the drawer." ”

Pulling drawers is also jargon, but it is not only used in antique shops, it is basically the meaning of finding a back account.

"This Teacher Fang can rest assured. Hu Yunde said, "I don't represent myself, I represent Daya Zhai." ”

"Also, this matter, for the face of Jin Lao, otherwise there will be one and two and no three or four. So, this is the last time. If you don't accept it this time, please don't introduce other buyers to Mr. Hu, okay?"

"Okay!" Hu Yunde smiled and nodded.

"Wait a minute. Fang Cunxing extinguished the cigarette butt, got up and went to the safe in the corner, and took out two pieces of porcelain from it.

He didn't pack it either, so he took it out one by one and put it on the long table steadily.

"Then we're good to go. ”

Hu Yunde picked up the small jar with the money first.

When Wu Duo saw it, he picked up the remaining big bowl.

This large bowl is a little dirty, especially the inside of the bowl, with dark brown dirt, and it feels old, as if it can't be brushed off.

The carcass is thick and heavy, pressing the hand, looking at the place where the bottom of the bowl is exposed, the tire is slightly thick.

However, the blue glaze on the outside of this bowl has a good tone, and the level of glaze blowing is very high, the distribution of shades is very orderly, and at the same time, there is no glaze flow and cracking.

The most important thing is that under the snowflake blue glaze, there is a dark engraved dragon pattern. A dragon surrounds the outer wall of the bowl for almost a week, faintly, with a unique charm.

Wu Duo has a bit of snow blue knowledge reserves. The snowflake blue of the Xuande period should be carved and glazed, so the carcass is generally very thick, because if the tire is too thin, it is easy to burn.

Although these snowflake blue and blue and white are made of cobalt material, the snowflake blue is a surface blue glaze. The blue and white is underglaze blue, and the cobalt material is painted with a layer of transparent glaze. Therefore, the blue and white ware of the Xuande Dynasty is naturally relatively light and thin compared to the carcass of snowflake blue.

Later, the blue glaze of the Kangxi period was sprinkled, and the carcass was relatively light and thin, because the Kangxi snowflake blue fetal soil was no longer the hemp cang soil used in Xuande porcelain, but the kaolin of higher quality and purity, so it was not afraid of burning.

Judging from the craftsmanship of this big bowl, Wu Duo believes that it should be able to reach Xuande, and from the characteristics of the dark engraved dragon pattern, it should be the official kiln of Xuande!

It's just that this bowl doesn't have an official kiln model. It is not uncommon for the official kiln not to be paid, especially in the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, because there was a situation of the official kiln falling at the beginning, and there were many official kilns that did not pay.

Wu Duo now sees things, all of them watch first and then listen. This is the most effective way to contrast and improve your eyesight.

Wu Duogang understood, and Hu Yunde also put down the small jar and gently put it on the table.

So, Wu Duo also put the big bowl on the table, "Mr. Hu, come here." ”

Hu Yunde nodded, pointed to the small jar, and then picked up the big bowl again, while Wu Duo naturally picked up the small jar.

Fang Cunxing didn't speak, smoking a cigarette and looking at them.

Wu Duo picked up the small can, and as soon as he got his hands on it, he felt that the weight was light, and he turned it over and looked at it, and sure enough, the carcass was not as thick and heavy as the big bowl.

This method of foot cultivation is the foot cultivation method of Xuande official kiln, and the soil is also like hemp cang soil.

It's just that this small pot of sprinkling blue glaze, although the tone is not bad, but the level of blowing glaze is slightly inferior, and there is nothing wrong with the different sizes of "snowflakes", but this difference in size does not bring that kind of staggered beauty.

The font of the payment is the standard Xuande official kiln font, and I can't see any clues.

There's something wrong with this little canister······

Wu Duo couldn't see through it further, so he listened to it.

When Wu Duo put down the small can, Hu Yunde was still looking at it with a big bowl, so Wu Duo smiled at Fang Cunxing, and also lit a cigarette and waited.

After smoking all the time, Hu Yunde just finished reading.

He looked hesitant, as if he was not very satisfied with either thing.

Fang Cunxing smiled, "I said a long time ago, Mr. Hu, if you are not satisfied, you won't accept it." To be honest, even if you can't accept it, I will rush to you Daya Zhai with such a rigorous attitude, and if there is anything good in the future, I will still consider you. ”

Hu Yunde's slightly frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he said to Wu Duo, "Xiao Wu, this is the first time you have been out of the field since you officially joined the company, how about you come up with ideas?"

If it weren't for the fact that two groups of people had already come to see things before, and Fang Cunxing had said something to death today, the two of them could have said goodbye and discussed before deciding.

But now it doesn't work, if you don't make an idea on the spot, this business will be yellow.

It can be seen that Hu Yunde is also not optimistic about small cans, and he is not optimistic about large bowls, but he can't deny them all at once, he just hesitates. Because he has a short time to look at a small jar and a long time to look at a large bowl, his expression after reading it is also different.

At the critical moment, he couldn't twist it, Wu Duo asked Fang Cunxing directly, "Teacher Fang, these two things, can we only accept one of them?"

Fang Cunxing was slightly stunned, "Okay." ”

After a pause, he added, "However, in terms of price, that's different. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"If you put two pieces together, it's five million, and if you only take a big bowl, it's three million. ”

"Teacher Fang, it's not that I want to bargain, it's a bit too much. Wu Duoying said, "Look, don't we just want a bowl without a model just because it's cheap? If you want me to say, if you want two pieces of five million, only small cans can be higher than the average price, and if you only accept large bowls, at most two million is enough, right?"

"Xiao Wu, your algorithm is correct. However, the specific price is like this, five million for two pieces together, three million for a single large bowl, and four million for a single small can!"

Wu Duo almost didn't choke. Good guy, you will be charged two million cheaper together, this is a hundred more thoughts? I am also a painter, and the artwork is not afraid of being bad, and it can appreciate in value······

"Teacher Fang, you see that Mr. Hu also said that I was the first day of employment, and he gave me the power again, so let me let it go. ”

"How can a work of art be so priced?" Fang Cunxing emphasized the art at this time, "If not, forget it." ”

After speaking, he looked at Hu Yunde.

Hu Yunde looked at Wu Duo, "Really—want to accept it?"

Wu Duo could naturally understand the meaning of this drag, "It must be true." ”

"Why don't we work together next time. Fang Cunxing seemed to be impatient, and stood up, his hand slightly raised.

"Okay!" Hu Yunde made a final sound, "Three million is three million! This is all troublesome to Teacher Fang, Teacher Fang has no price, so we will accept it according to this." ”

Fang Cunxing smiled, "Mr. Hu, are you sure this is what you mean?" I already said it before······

"Don't worry, there's no such thing as pulling drawers, we all have contracts, Mr. Fang, take a look first." Hu Yunde said, took out a standard contract from his bag, and took out small tools such as calipers and scales.

After a busy time, the payment was cleared.

Fang Cunxing also seemed to be quite satisfied, because when he signed the contract, he said casually that it was troublesome to shoot the two together, and it was not bad to go out separately.

The two of them took their leave.

After driving on the road, Hu Yunde asked directly, "Are you sure it's Xuande?"

"Xuande Guanyao!" Wu Duo said in a sonorous voice.

"The enamel and craftsmanship are fine, but the carcass is thick, and the dark engraved dragon pattern is also a little out of shape. ”

"The carcass is thick and heavy in order to prevent burning, and there is no way to be coarse after firing; the dragon pattern is not out of shape, because the embryo is engraved, and there is a slight change after firing, and at the same time, because the expansion coefficient of the tire and the glaze is inconsistent, it will also aggravate the feeling of being out of shape. There is no flow glaze cracked glaze, the glaze blowing process is first-class, and the whole bowl shape is smooth and atmospheric, and it is undoubtedly the official kiln of Xuande!"

After Wu Duo finished speaking, he suddenly found that his level seemed to have become higher!

Although I also relied on what I heard, I have combined it very well with what I saw and thought!

Hu Yunde nodded frequently, "Awesome, Xiao Wu." If you are so sure, three million is still a leak!"

As early as the 80s of the last century, there was a Xuande snowflake blue bowl, which was auctioned for more than 3 million.

This was almost forty years ago!

Of course, that big bowl, from the Republic of China to the present orderly inheritance, has gone through the hands of celebrities, and it also carries the style of the Ming Xuande year, which is incomparable to any similar snowflake blue bowl.

However, there are other references. There is also a Xuande snowflake blue bowl without an official kiln, which was auctioned for a high price of more than 4 million more than ten years ago.

No matter how conservatively estimated this big bowl is, it must be more than five million in price.

Three million can definitely be regarded as a leak.

It's just that such a leak is not easy to pick up. First of all, because there is no money, secondly, such things are rare, and there are not many people who really understand them; secondly, it is not a leak of great profits, but a leak of great profits, which requires the double blessing of financial resources and eyesight.

"Uncle De has won the award. "Still, I'm sure it's okay." ”

"Victory in the first battle! Not bad, not bad!" Hu Yunde praised again and again.

Wu Duo thought for a while, "Uncle De, such a thing, in fact, Daya Zhai might as well find a big auction house to participate in next year's spring auction, first, the big auction is easy to start, and second, it is also a publicity for Daya Zhai." ”

"You and I want to go together! Go back and let Zhang Lao take a look, please show me!" Hu Yunde laughed, "In case, this big bowl and that small can are in the same auction, it will be interesting." ”

"Uncle De, what do you think of that little jar?" Wu Duo asked.
