Chapter 600: Enamel Shell
Seeing Yuxuan playing with the pocket watch, Andy couldn't help but ask, "If this thing is to be repaired, it should be very troublesome, right?"
It looks like this thing is a bit old, and if you need to replace parts or something, you probably can't find parts.
If he doesn't repair it, he thinks that the price of the broken clock is limited.
After all, as a practical thing, the practical performance of the watch is gone, and in Andy's view, this watch has lost its most fundamental value.
"The dΓ©cor looks pretty nice. Yuxuan said as she stroked the shell of her pocket watch.
Let's not talk about whether it is broken or not, just these decorations on the surface, she likes it a lot. Most of the shells are made of porcelain, and the borders are inlaid with tiny beads, a bit like pearls, but they shouldn't be pearls, and Yuxuan has never seen such a small pearl.
Hu Yang stretched out his hand, Yuxuan understood, and immediately put the pocket watch in the palm of Brother Hu's hand.
After watching it for a while, Hu Yang smiled: "Even if it is bad, it still has a very high artistic value." Not to mention anything else, just this shell, made of enamel, is very delicate and gorgeous.
As for repairs, it is estimated that it will not be difficult. The spare parts you are worried about, the original ones are definitely gone. This is something from the Qing Dynasty, judging from the enamel color shell, it is still from the Yongzheng era. β
When you hear Brother Hu say this, you will understand that you must not be able to find the original accessories.
The enamel shell, although it looks like a small piece, is a noble piece of porcelain in itself, and sometimes it is not valued by its size.
Brother Hu told everyone before that before the birth of enamel, the court porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties was all fired in Jingdezhen and transported to the capital. Only the enamel color is selected in Jingdezhen first, transported to the Qing Palace Office, and then painted by the court painter for the second firing.
This means that enamelled porcelain is usually more expensive than other porcelain varieties.
Some people may disagree with this, in the auction records of porcelain, enamel porcelain is not as good as pastel porcelain, not to mention Yuan blue and white.
But that's not the problem, the reason why pastel porcelain and Yuan blue and white can be auctioned at a terrible sky-high price is because of their rarity.
Another point is that pastel porcelain caters more to the aesthetics of the Chinese, so when it comes to auction, Chinese collectors are usually more willing to pay for it.
In the final analysis, enamel color has a strong Western cultural color, so enamel color porcelain may be more suitable for the tastes of Manchus and Westerners, and the group of people who appreciate it is different.
"Is it from the Yongzheng era?" Viagra also took it, looked at it twice, and couldn't see any name.
He admired Populus euphratica, how did he tell the age of these objects?
Hu Yang knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and explained: "Look at the enamel lines, which are the characteristics of the Yongzheng era. β
"It's a pity that it's not from the Qianlong era. Someone in the live broadcast room regretted.
It just so happened that this sentence was seen by Hu Yang, and he couldn't help laughing: "The quantity of porcelain in the Yongzheng era may not be as good as that of the Qianlong period, but the quality is higher than that of the Qianlong period, so there is no pity." β
In the Yongzheng Dynasty, only thirteen years, Qianlong was the emperor for several decades, and the number is definitely incomparable.
However, there is a saying in the porcelain collecting circle: "Look at Chenghua clearly, look at Yongzheng clearly", indicating that the porcelain in the Yongzheng period has reached the point of perfection.
The enamel porcelain of the Yongzheng era, the beauty of the shape, can be compared with the slender and beautiful Ming Yongle, Chenghua porcelain, in terms of product quality and technology have reached the peak of the degree, its small utensils are soft and subtle, light and handsome, practical and beautiful. The large utensils are dignified and elegant, pay attention to the changes of lines, simple and clumsy, the proportions are coordinated, light and beautiful, regular but not heavy.
Whether it is the proportional relationship of the shape, or the line and painting, Yongzheng official kiln porcelain has a high standard. In particular, the achievements in color glazed porcelain, antique innovation, set the ancient Chinese color glazed porcelain, create and burn dozens of kinds of color glazed porcelain with court style, the glaze is pure and elegant, extraordinary, on behalf of the highest level of Yongzheng official kiln.
The enamel porcelain of the Yongzheng era is fine, the color is dignified, the color is bright and beautiful, and the painting is exquisite. The production of enamel porcelain was extremely labor-intensive, and it disappeared after Qianlong.
Therefore, do not think that Yongzheng's porcelain is inferior to Qianlong's.
Qianlong is only more famous than Yongzheng in history. In addition to being the emperor for a long time, he is inferior to Yongzheng in many aspects, but some "Qianlong blows" are brainless.
When everyone heard this, they were really a little surprised, and they always felt that the items in the Qianlong era were the best in the entire Qing Dynasty.
After all, TV dramas are always filmed in the Qianlong period! What is the prosperous era of Qianlong, and it is very exaggerated.
"Judging from this enamel shell, this pocket watch is not from the court, it is the belongings of some prince.
I have told you before that although clocks were not invented in China, the most precious clocks in the world are in China. This pocket watch, with its high artistic content, was definitely more valuable than any limited edition at the time.
Aside from the enamel, look at these pearls. β
"Ahh
She thought it looked like a pearl, but she had never seen such a small pearl!
"Yes! It's a pearl. In many people's minds, pearls are bigger and more valuable, but there are exceptions. This pearl looks very small, but it is a first-class natural pearl in quality, and it is even more difficult to make up 80 pearls of this size and quality than to pick one in a million.
That's why I said that even if it's bad, it's worth a lot in itself, and it's definitely okay to have more than 100,000, and it's hard to say hundreds of thousands.
If it's not broken, take it to auction, and it's normal to have more than one million. Hu Yang analyzed.
The more everyone listened, the more surprised they became, even Lin Yufei felt that he was too generous just now, and it was useless to envy now. If you knew that it was so valuable, you shouldn't have been polite.
Yuxuan's smile was like a flower, and she kept thanking Brother Hu. The harvest of this leakage can even be compared to her live broadcast income for a year, how can you not be happy?
Continuing to move forward, all kinds of strange things have been seen by Viagra and others.
Even the self-portraits of Qianlong and Kangxi are available, twenty yuan each, and the value is far less than the photo posters of celebrities.
"It's fake. Viagra couldn't help but comment.
Indeed, underneath those self-portraits, the name of the publishing house has not been erased. Please! Be professional!
"Dare to cheat on this thing, aren't you afraid of being invited to tea?" Viagra felt his scalp tingle.
I saw that on the side, there are various inscriptions of central leaders, and the one on the top is a brush writing of the current chairman.
There are friends urging the customer service to change, you cow!
