Chapter 225: The True Face of the Copper Furnace
After waking up the next day, Wang Yun first went to Boss Zhao's antique shop to see if the jade carving had been engraved.
As soon as he entered the store, Wang Yun saw Zhou Yuancai, and only after questioning did he know that Boss Zhao had something to do, so he asked Zhou Yuancai to come and help him look at the store.
"Wang Yun, didn't you go to Gongpan?" Zhou Yuancai asked curiously.
"I'll take a look at the jade carving of Old Li, have you done it?" Wang Yun said directly.
Zhou Yuancai said to him enviously, "You are lucky, after the jade carving was engraved by Li Lao, someone added two million and wanted to buy it, but you took it first for more than two million!"
Hearing that the words had been engraved, Wang Yun happily took down the jade carving, looking at the name of Li Lao behind the jade carving, Wang Yun knew that with these three words, the price of this jade carving could go up a little.
The more he looked at this jade plate, the more Wang Yun felt that he couldn't put it down, this was also the first master-level jade carving in his collection, and it could be regarded as a missed one.
"Has Old Li gone back?" asked Wang Yun.
"I'm sure he hasn't come back yet, it's only the next day, but if he buys something he likes, he should leave. Zhou Yuancai said.
Wang Yun pondered for a while, and finally took the copper furnace from the car and disposed of it.
"Does Elder Li have time now? I want to ask him to help me palm my eyes?" asked Wang Yun.
Zhou Yuan knew that Li Lao was different from Wang Yun and others, so he took him directly to the room behind the store.
After entering, Zhou Yuancai said to Li Lao, "Li Lao, Wang Yun said that he was looking for you for something." ”
When Li Lao heard that Wang Yun was coming, he immediately put down the newspaper in his hand.
"Wang Yun, you are a celebrity now, why didn't you come here without the public area?" asked Li Lao with a smile.
Celebrity?
Wang Yun looked at Li Lao in surprise, "Li Lao, what kind of celebrity, I haven't done anything recently?"
When Li Lao heard him say this, he smiled and handed over the newspaper he had just read.
When Wang Yun took a look, he knew that during the Pingzhou Public Auction, there would be several pages in the Pingzhou Daily to publish some jade circles and what happened in the public area.
The most eye-catching thing about the jade layout is that on the first day of the Pingzhou Gongpan, a piece of glass and a piece of glass imperial green were solved on the spot.
There are even photos of the scene on it, but Tian Bowen's one looks like a solo photo, while Wang Yun's one is surrounded by a bunch of people and he can barely see his face.
Wang Yun roughly read the above content, basically all of them were praises for Tian Bowen, and Wang Yun, who solved the glass imperial green in the morning and a piece of high ice and sunny green in the afternoon, said that he was just lucky.
But even if they did, he, the one who had solved the glass imperial green on the first day, must have attracted a lot of attention.
"It's just in the newspapers, it's not a celebrity!" Wang Yun smiled indifferently.
Seeing his humble appearance, Li Lao nodded with satisfaction.
"Elder Li, I came to you this time, mainly because I want to tell you something first, otherwise you will only have an opinion on me when you know it in the future. ”
After speaking, Wang Yun put the copper furnace on the table.
Li Lao saw at a glance that this was the copper furnace that Wang Yun bought from Lan Lao, and immediately smiled, "There is a saying in the antique world that is the same as that of the casino, that is, buy and leave, since Lao Lan sold this thing to you and collected the money, this thing is yours, and it has nothing to do with him in the future." ”
Although Wang Yun didn't mean this, when he heard Li Lao say this, he had a little less worries in his heart.
Wang Yun took it and scraped it lightly in the copper furnace, and then said to Li Lao, "Li Lao, look at this." ”
After the layer of slurry on the outside of the copper furnace was scraped off by him, the true appearance of the inside was revealed.
"It's!"
Li Lao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly picked up his reading glasses and brought them, after the slurry on the outside of the copper furnace was hung, the situation inside was completely different from the previous one.
The walls of the furnace are not yellow, but dark purple, and look very smooth and delicate, and if you look closely, there are some golden lights shining on the surface, which looks very eye-catching.
These characteristics are completely consistent with the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, and the Xuande furnace will add some precious metals such as gold and silver to it when casting, so there will be some golden light on the surface, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a heirloom treasure.
"This is obviously a Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, why is there a layer of imitation traces on the outside? No wonder everyone didn't see it. ”
After Li Lao finished speaking, his impression of Wang Yun also changed a little, it seems that it makes sense for Qi Lao to accept him as an apprentice, and even the things that the owner of an antique shop like Boss Zhao didn't see were discovered by him.
"The current Xuande furnace is priceless and unmarketable, an absolute treasure!" said Li Lao with a sigh.
When I was on Lan Lao's side before, everyone thought that this was just an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, so Wang Yun only spent more than one million to buy it, but I didn't expect it to be an imitation on the basis of a genuine product.
Li Lao asked Wang Yun curiously how he saw it.
The hidden technique of this copper furnace is still very clever, if you don't accidentally scrape the outer skin, you shouldn't find the mystery inside.
It's just that as far as antiques are concerned, there is pulp on the outside, and rust stains are one of its characteristics, if the rust is wiped, it will destroy his value anyway, so Wang Yun should not accidentally find it when wiping these things.
Wang Yun said with a smile, "Looking at the inscription below, although the appearance of this thing was deliberately disguised, I don't know if the bottom was forgotten, or they deliberately left it and didn't move, so I found out." ”
After listening to Li Lao, he subconsciously turned the copper furnace over and looked at the bottom, the words Xuande of the Ming Dynasty engraved on it are indeed in line with the characteristics of the seal of the Ming Dynasty, since this is true, there are only two situations, one is that this copper furnace has been spliced by someone, and the other is that it has been deliberately disguised by someone.
"You look at things very carefully, and you can speculate from the opposite direction, it's really good, Qi Lao's eyes are really good. Li Lao said this, but in his heart he was saying to himself that his previous choice was also right.
The last time I saw Wang Yun, Mr. Li gave Wang Yun his experience of recording for many years, as well as some carving techniques, and he could be regarded as his teacher.
Seeing that everything was done, Wang Yun was ready to say goodbye and then go to the public area.
Before leaving, Wang Yun promised Li Lao that if he solved any good jade, he would leave a piece for Li Lao.
