Chapter 285: And Treasures

Hu Yang and they hadn't gone out yet, and another person walked into the antique shop, an old man, as soon as he came in, his eyes were staring at the plate in Hu Yang's hand in a daze.

The proprietress couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Old Qin, you're late." This plate has been given to this big brother. ”

Of course, she had the impression that Qin Lao had seen this plate before, but in the end, she didn't ask the price. The proprietress saw that Qin Lao was not optimistic about this porcelain, so she placed it in the area of high imitations and sold them as high imitations.

"Alas! a step late. The old man sighed.

After speaking, he asked Hu Yang again: "Young man, I will give you twice the price, can I transfer it?"

Hu Yang shook his head: "Old man, you should be able to see that this is Meison porcelain, right?"

Yes, who can say this term, Qin Lao knows that the young man in front of him is a knowledgeable person.

"Mason porcelain, isn't it a high imitation?" Andy asked.

Hu Yang told him: "Meissen porcelain is a high imitation, and it is also a foreign brand. Although it is a high imitation, it is not low in value. ”

As soon as these words came out, the proprietress was stunned.

No matter what she thought, she would never have imagined that there were still foreign goods in her store. It sounds like it's still very high-end, and she, a self-proclaimed porcelain expert, has never heard of any Meissen porcelain.

"Is foreign porcelain valuable?" she couldn't help but ask.

When it comes to porcelain, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is China, in the eyes of many people, only Chinese porcelain is authentic, and the others are all copycats, is the copycat worth anything?

Qin Lao explained: "This young man is right, I only suddenly confirmed it today. ”

He told everyone that in the 16th century, European aristocrats wanted to show off their wealth, and they couldn't do without Chinese porcelain.

The audience in the live broadcast room listened to it and called 666.

Who would have thought that in ancient times, Chinese goods were luxury goods, symbols of wealth? Unlike now, when it comes to famous brands, everyone chooses foreign ones, especially luxury goods, such as sports cars and so on.

Qin Lao mentioned a person - August II, the king of Europe, a bit like the emperor of the Song Dynasty, belonging to the kind of people who do not do their jobs, love art, beauty, and so on.

In his life, he had two expenses, one was to buy porcelain, and the other was to wage war. However, he exchanged 600 heavily armed guards cavalry for 127 pieces of Chinese porcelain, which is equivalent to a sky-high price.

Auguste II, who collected 20,000 pieces of porcelain during his lifetime, captured the alchemist Botge. It is rumored that Botege has the secret to turning ordinary metal into gold, and the reason why rumors are rumors is because of the degree of unreliability.

The gold was not refined, but the "white gold dream" of this paranoid royal family was made. Boggart, along with another mathematician, Zienhouse, was imprisoned in a distant forest castle and began an endless process of refining porcelain.

"Tsk, exchanging the army for porcelain, really good at playing. ”

"It's not that I can play, it's that at that time, Chinese porcelain was really a treasure, in addition to porcelain, there was also silk. I have to say that at that time, the merchants of the Middle East would make money, just sandwiched between the two civilizations, and the Chinese porcelain was shipped over, which was a hundredfold or a thousand times the profit. ”

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, in ancient times, you had to cross two continents, and there were many deserts in between, and you can understand the danger? ”

"Indeed, at that time, although the merchants of the Western Regions were able to get rich overnight, how many were swallowed by the desert, who knows?"

"Don't you pay attention to the alchemists? It's a shame to be caught as a free worker. ”

"Haha! This story tells us not to pretend if it's okay. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, that's the truth. ”

......

Qin Lao continued: "At that time, porcelain from the East was expensive, which made Europeans think of imitation. Mason porcelain can only be said to be a relatively successful brand.

From the beginning of the high imitation, now called the top artwork, with the white gold known as Mason porcelain, has been sought after over the years. ”

For 300 years, Meissen porcelain has been sought after by the royal family and local tyrants, and the price is also tailored for the wealthy, jumping to luxury goods in one fell swoop, and also serving as a diplomatic porcelain customized by some countries.

The Austro-Hungarian Empress Sisi has a collection of thousands of pieces of Mason porcelain, which today have a total value of tens of millions of euros.

In recent years, this porcelain has also set an auction record of more than 40 million yuan.

After speaking, Qin Lao's eyes glanced at the plate in Hu Yang's hand: "This plate belongs to the fine products of Mason porcelain, and it is worth more than one million." ”

The proprietress was dumbfounded, more than a million treasures were disposed of by her for a few thousand yuan.

I know that I have suffered a big loss, but I can't reason with it! Both sides are willing to trade, and we can only blame ourselves for not having vision and not knowing treasures.

At this moment, the mood is very bad.

"Brother Hu, run, the proprietress is going to be angry. ”

"If you don't leave, you will stay and be the husband of the shop. ”

"I want it too, I want it, I beg for support!"

......

The proprietress felt that she should pay more attention to foreign artworks in the future, otherwise it would be easy to lose her eyes! Like this time, it is a living and bloody case, and a lesson must be learned.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

It's still the proprietress who solves it herself: "It's still big brother, you're so capable, there's nothing to say, congratulations!"

Hu Yang smiled, thought about it, felt a little embarrassed, and pointed to another high-level imitation on the shelf: "Sister, this one of yours is also a treasure." ”

Well?

The title of sister, everyone ignores it for the time being, and is surprised that there are still fish that have slipped through the net.

However, since Brother Hu didn't win it right away, it shows that the value is average, and the audience in the live broadcast room thought so.

They didn't know that Populus euphratica was going to be taken away together, but suddenly an old man appeared, and he wanted to pick up a bargain, so it was not so easy. In that case, it is better to give the proprietress a favor.

After hearing this, Qin Lao frowned, looked at Populus Hu deeply, and then picked up the porcelain.

To be honest, he didn't come to this store once or twice, and he basically knew what the goods were. I have seen this piece of porcelain in my hand, but I don't feel that I can see it accurately.

It is said that it is not accurate, but in the antique world, it means that it is not optimistic.

"Old Qin, can you see it?" the proprietress asked nervously.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Populus Hu, but she thinks that Elder Qin will be more reliable, after all, she is not familiar with Populus euphratica, although her performance just now is very good, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

Qin Lao looked at it for a while and shook his head: "It's a high imitation." ”

The proprietress gave poplar a roll of her eyes and said secretly: Waste of expression!

Hu Yang shrugged his shoulders: "It's indeed a high imitation, but who said that a high imitation is not worth a lot? Isn't it worth a million yuan?"

Belch!

It seems to be the same!

Everyone looked at Qin Lao again, and Hu Yang was right! There are many kinds of high imitations, and their value is high and low, and the precious imitations are even more valuable than the original works.

This kind of thing is all too common in the antique world.

I saw that it was a brother kiln porcelain, and the surface of the porcelain was full of cracks, but it gave people a sense of delicacy.

"Brother kiln" is one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty and has a pivotal position in the history of ceramics.

The kiln tires are mostly purple-black, iron-black, and yellow-brown. The glaze is a transparent opaque glaze, the glaze is covered with a layer of crisp, the glaze color is fried beige, gray and green, and the glaze size is combined.

After dyeing, the large grain piece is dark brown, and the small grain piece is yellow-brown, also known as 'gold wire iron wire', "ink pattern plum blossom piece", "leaf vein pattern", "civil and military piece" and so on. This is one of the main characteristics of the kiln.

Previously, Hu Yang explained to you that the "Ge kiln" is the only unsolved porcelain kiln among the five famous kilns in China.

Due to the lack of contemporaneous documents, and the later generations of documents are often fragmentary, fragmentary, and some contradict each other, it is still impossible to lift the veil and present its true face.

"It's a bit like antique porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. Qin Lao looked at it for a while and said uncertainly.

Kind of?

It seems that this old man's strength is also very average! The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but think.

"The old man has a good eye, this is indeed the antique porcelain of the Qing Dynasty. Hu Yang affirmed.

The history of porcelain imitation firing is almost synchronous with fine porcelain, after the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Guan, Ge, Ding, Ru and Jun, imitations have appeared one after another, and the "eight kiln systems" of the Song Dynasty throughout the north and south of our country are formed in the case of the five famous kilns competing to imitate.

"Li Tang Yue has been called none, and Zhao Song has been lonely in the official kiln. The color is from the pink and green fire, and the pattern is like an eel with blood and ice skin", this is the hymn of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty, from which it is not difficult to see the ancient atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty emperor's favorite Song porcelain.

During the Qing Dynasty, the imitation of the five famous kilns had a considerable scale, and it was almost difficult to distinguish between the two masters, but the imitation of historical masterpieces in the Qing Dynasty was not all for utilitarian purposes, but in order to catch up with the predecessors and inherit the tradition.

In the past, in the collection market, Qing imitation official ware was only used as an embellishment, but in the past two years, because of the difficulty of finding fine products and the increase in demand in the collection market, the number of imitation official ware of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty in the auction market is also increasing.

In the middle and stable trend of imitation Song porcelain, not only has the beauty of Song porcelain technology, but also carries the reputation of Qing official kiln, can be described as "quality and value" both value preservation potential stocks, worthy of favor.

Hu Yang pointed out several traces of imitation in the Qing Dynasty, which made the originally uncertain Qin Lao also affirm.

This is antique porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, but the quality is not particularly good, and the market price is only three or five hundred thousand. In the end, Qin Lao appraised.

The proprietress glanced at Hu Yang: "Big brother, thank you for reminding me! Where are you from? Listening to the accent, it doesn't look like a local." ”

Although it is not as good as the one that Populus euphratica got just now, three and a half million yuan is not a lot! Populus Hu's reminder saved her from hundreds of thousands of losses, and without a word of thanks, it would be too inappropriate for a son of man.

"I'm from Guangdong Province, my sister just calls me Xiaohu. ”

"No wonder, you haven't eaten, have you? Since you call me sister, come to my house to eat today. ”

In fact, the proprietress also wanted to make friends with this capable young man, so she invited her to dinner, not only because Hu Yang helped her find a treasure.
