Chapter 117: Could it be a manhole cover?
Porcelain, as a popular collection variety, has many types, just porcelain vases, there are many types of vessels.
In front of him, the one that Populus euphratica got for free was a celestial ball bottle.
Its bottle shape is small mouth, straight neck, full shoulders, false hoop feet, and a slightly concave sand bottom. Because the round belly is huge, as if it fell from the sky, hence the name.
The Tianqiu vase is a kind of porcelain shape that is deeply influenced by West Asian culture, and was created and burned in the Jingdezhen kiln during the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's rare to see such a small celestial vial. Shen Lao said.
Rao is that he has been playing for so many years, and he has seen a lot of Tianqiu bottles, but he rarely sees such a small one, which can be controlled with one palm, and it is completely an object to play with.
"It's kind of like the bottle used to hold pills in ancient times. Feige looked at it for a moment.
This guy, you have seen too much martial arts and fairy tales, right?
Shen Lao glanced at him with disdain: "Who would take this thing to charge medicine? ”
Populus Hu pulled the cork off the bottle, and the bottle originally had no stopper, which should have been made by someone in the back.
At this time, a medicinal fragrance came out.
Fei Qi suddenly gave Shen Lao a strange look, as if to say: Look? I'm not wrong, right? Let you usually watch more TV, this time slap your face? Some Xianxia TV series, this thing is a prop, okay?
Shen Lao's face was rare and he was quite speechless.
Hu Yang changed the topic and defused the awkward atmosphere: "This is a Ming Dynasty Doucai porcelain. ”
When it comes to Doucai, everyone can't help but think of the Doucai chicken bowl cup during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, a small cup, which once sold for a sky-high price of nearly 300 million, shocking both at home and abroad.
In fact, the Doucai porcelain of the Ming Dynasty almost did not have large utensils, and almost all of them were small and exquisite.
I saw that the fetal quality of this bottle was white and delicate, thin and light, and the carcass of the vial was almost the same as the cicada wings, and the fingers could be reflected. The white glaze is soft and luster, and the inside and outside are the same. The formation of this tire and glaze characteristics is caused by the decrease in the iron and calcium content in Chenghua porcelain.
The bottle is a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the image is vivid.
Because the bottle is small and the bottom is also small, it is easy to be overlooked.
Shen Lao took a look with a magnifying glass, and the six blue and white backgrounds of the "Xuande Year System of the Ming Dynasty" were very clear.
"It's a pity, it's not from the Chenghua period. Shen Lao said with a little regret.
Doucai porcelain, the most famous is produced in the Chenghua period, each piece is a rare treasure, and any one can be auctioned for tens of millions of sky-high prices.
Doucai during the Xuande period, should be the period when the doucai first appeared, the technology is not very mature, so the quality is far less than that of the Chenghua period.
"What do you want to give it away for free?" Hu Yang smiled helplessly.
Even so, it is still worth hundreds of thousands, and in the eyes of many peers, it is already a rare leak.
"Well, I'm too demanding. ”
Feige rolled his eyes: Are you demanding? Don't look at it, what kind of rags do you always pick up, almost all of them are hungry, and they are too demanding?
Ahead, many people surrounded a stall, which seemed to be a heavy treasure, and Hu Yang and others also squeezed in.
They found that it was a bronze tripod, and the poplar glared at it, and it deserved to be on the black market! This kind of treasure dared to be sold for sale?
You must know that the bronze tripod has always been a treasure strictly controlled by the state. In ancient times, the tripod was a symbol of power, a symbol of the state. Until later generations, the bronze tripod has a very important position.
The advent of each bronze tripod is almost always in major museums, etc., and very few people collect it.
"No wonder it's called bronze. "Andy saw that the surface of the bronze tripod is a layer of green.
But Populus told him that the surface of the excavated bronze has a green color, which is not the color of the bronze itself, but a kind of rust. The color of the bronze itself should be a golden yellow.
At the end of the day, this is the product of the piece alloy. The color of an alloy depends on the color of the metal that contains the most content. Since it is called bronze, the copper content is naturally the largest, so it generally shows the color of copper.
Almost all of the bronzes we found in later generations are blue-gray, the result of thousands of years of chemical reactions.
There are many onlookers, few people ask the price, everyone has scruples in their hearts, only those who are real collectors, who do not plan to sell, and are only ready to hide and play, will be interested.
The seller is a little anxious, this thing is a hot potato, and he hopes to get rid of it as soon as possible, so the price has been opened very low, only 50,000.
"The bronze tripod of the Warring States period was only sold for 50,000 yuan, tsk!" Hu Yang couldn't help but shake his head.
During the Warring States Period, several countries were in war for many years, and the economic development was quite slow, and only the field of bronze ware developed rapidly.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult for everyone to understand that in the era of war, the first thing that everyone should develop is weapons and other equipment. At that time, they were all cold weapons, and it was a comparison of whose sword was sharper and more durable.
However, because the Warring States were not unified, the bronze tripods, which represented the highest power, were rarely fired. Nowadays, almost all of the bronze tripods hidden in major museums were handed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the bronze tripod of the Warring States period will not be cheap. Moreover, looking at the dozens of inscriptions on the bronze tripod, you know that it is very valuable for research. 50,000 yuan is definitely the price of cabbage.
As soon as he finished sighing, someone made a move, and 50,000 won the bronze tripod, which was a man with an iron head.
The bronze tripod, at a glance, knew that it was an object that had just been dug out not long ago, and I was really not afraid of being checked by the water meter.
The seller breathed a sigh of relief, and the onlookers gradually dispersed. The most eye-catching thing on the stall is just a bronze tripod.
But in fact, there are not many things in this stall, only four or five pieces, and the bronze tripod is not the largest one. The largest piece is something that is round on one side.
"This can't be a manhole cover, right?" Feige joked.
It's a bit like it, but the text above shows its history.
Hu Yang saw that it was a shield, a shield that had not experienced war. The things of this stall should be from the tomb of a great general, and the shield may have been specially created when the general was buried.
There are actually bronze tripods, and it seems that this general is a bit ambitious.
"What manhole cover? This is a shield, used in war, you know? Do you like it? 10,000 yuan for you." "The stall owner sells.
Feiqi hurriedly waved his hand, what did he want this thing for?
He didn't want it, but Shen Lao next to him was not jealous, it was only 10,000 yuan, which felt very cost-effective, so he paid for it without saying a word and carried away the shield with a diameter of more than half a meter.
After walking around, Hu Yang finally understood the existence of the black market.
Although there are many real things here and the prices are affordable, most of the things are not visible. Therefore, although I saw a lot of treasures, Hu Yang didn't make much moves.
Next, there is the auction session of the organizer, and Populus euphratica is looking forward to it.
