Chapter 269: Lapis Lazuli

Ye Ping's mother can be regarded as having seen the ability of Populus euphratica, and after leaving the store, she is full of praise.

Andy asked, "Brother Hu, isn't this thing fake?"

Everyone just reacted, yes! Just identified, isn't it a high-quality imitation? This thing, Brother Hu also wants it? It doesn't look like Brother Hu's style, right?

Hu Yang took off the lid, threw it into the trash can on the side, and said with a smile: "The lid is fake, but the big jar itself is not fake, it is indeed plum celadon ware of the Southern Song Dynasty."

This kind of porcelain jar itself has no lid, and I don't know who is idle and hurts, so I added one. ”

Yes?

Everyone is dumbfounded, and this kind of operation?

Lao Wu and the others thought: If that middle-aged man knew, he would have the heart to kill, right?

However, they deserve it! As locals, they are not used to that kind of cheating behavior. You make money, but you damage everyone's interests. It's no wonder that the owner of the shop will expose him! Aren't all the people in their Longquan antique market stink?

Lao Wu didn't dare to ask, but Ye Ping's mother didn't have any scruples and asked, "Xiaohu, how do you know that it is from the Southern Song Dynasty?"

This question is also a question for many people.

Hu Yang pointed to the glaze on the body of the big jar and said: "Mainly look at the glaze, whether there is 'tendon', and the so-called 'tendon' is the edge of the utensils and other convex and turning places, due to the thin glaze and exposed white linear tire color, which is an important feature of celadon in the Song and Yuan dynasties."

Look at this, that's what I'm talking about. ”

"That could also be from the Yuan Dynasty!" Ye Ping's mother questioned again.

Hu Yang nodded: "Based on this alone, it is indeed as you said Auntie."

However, in terms of production, the bottom of the Song ware is generally visible with knife scratch marks, while the smaller Yuan ware can be seen at the bottom of the milky clove-like protrusion, which is the characteristic that distinguishes the Longquan celadon of the two dynasties.

In addition, the bottom of the celadon of the Yuan Dynasty has flint red, which is slightly lighter than in the Song Dynasty, but it is also deep and powerful. The base is sometimes coated with a layer of sauce-colored tire glaze, but the transition between shades is natural.

Imitation flint red is either too dark or too shallow, and there are also feet that are artificially painted brick red, but they often appear rigid and lack a smart and natural transition. ”

As he spoke, Populus Hu showed the bottom of the big jar, and everyone saw a slight scratch mark.

Seeing this, Ye Ping's mother was finally convinced. is so young, but so powerful. Now, without spending money, I picked up an antique, and there is no cost! I don't know how much this celadon is worth.

"Brother Hu, is it worth anything?" Ye Ping was curious.

Hu Yang nodded and said: "It's valuable! Your celadon in Longquan is the most precious in the Southern Song Dynasty."

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Longquan kiln was unprecedentedly developed, and the Longquan celadon entered its heyday. At this time, the Yue kiln celadon industry that had flourished in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties had withered, and only the quality of Longquan celadon had been significantly improved. The well-known pink and blue and plum blue glazed porcelain was successfully fired in the Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the beauty of celadon glaze was pushed to the peak.

In today's antique market, pink celadon is usually a little more expensive than plum green, which is generally around five million, and very few can exceed 10 million.

Of course, I'm talking about Longquan Meiziqing in the Southern Song Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was much cheaper, and the quality could not keep up, generally one or two million. ”

Ye Ping's mother widened her eyes again: "Xiaohu, you said this porcelain jar is worth about five million?"

"Four or five million is a relatively conservative price, after all, the number of plum greens in the Southern Song Dynasty is very small.

A few years ago, at Sotheby's autumn auction in London, the blue-glazed paper mallet bottle from Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty was auctioned for 1.184 million pounds, that is, about 10 million. Christie's in New York sold another celadon amphora from the Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty for $2.281 million, also more than 10 million.

In recent years, in our domestic auction market, there have also been Southern Song Dynasty plum greens, most of which are millions. ”

Aunt Ye listened to it, was shocked for a long time, and finally understood what her daughter said, this young man in front of her can earn more than 100 million yuan a month, and that's how she came.

You can only feel the shock if you see it with your own eyes. This time, she earned more than her husband and wife for most of their lives.

This time, Aunt Ye was a little excited, did she also buy an antique to see?

Although she is now middle-aged, has a house, and her children have grown up, the pressure on their couple is still very high, but the daughter is not worried, just help her find a good family. But that stinky boy, you still have to help him prepare a house for marriage, right? It's up to him, and I guess the girl can't find it.

That's why her husband is still working overtime all day, and every day when he comes home, he feels like a dog, eats a full meal, and runs to sleep without saying a word.

Hu Yang and they came to a stall, and Ye Ping and they couldn't wait to choose their favorite antiques.

I saw this stall, the boss is a young man, he is playing a mobile game at the moment, he seems to be very busy, he has no intention of greeting customers at all, while playing games, he is still scolding and scolding, what grass, Nima, stupid and other foul language without repetition.

Again, a guy who has been plagued by games, belongs to the kind that can't be saved in the late stage.

It was inconvenient for Lao Wu to take things, but Andy was helping on the side, asking him which one he liked, and then picking it up and showing it to him.

In fact, everyone here can't see anything except poplar.

On the stall, there are several "night pearls", and everyone almost didn't look at them, and they all knew that they were fakes. If you want to be a real pearl of the night, do you still need to put it here?

The Pearl of the Night is a natural, historical, and cultural mystery that exists simultaneously in several of the world's most outstanding ancient civilizations.

In ancient China, almost all emperors had a different hobby for the night pearl, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qing Dynasty, the night pearl appeared.

When Tang had a car, a night pearl called "Water Droplet" sold for hundreds of millions. During the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the royal family especially liked the night pearl, among which Genghis Khan's night pearl was stolen on Taiwan Island, and the case was solved and the property was returned to the original owner.

The most well-known may be the night pearl where the Empress Dowager Cixi was buried. At that time, the night pearl was worth more than 10 million taels of silver, which is now more than 800 million yuan, which shows how terrifying it is.

Today, the "Night Pearl" is very flooded, can be seen everywhere, and it is not expensive, tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds, and even dozens of dollars.

In fact, most of these are polished by fluorescent stone, which is worthless.

If it is a pure natural fluorescent, it is worth a little money, and the most feared thing is to make it artificially. Fill fluorescent powder in fluorite fissures that do not emit light on their own, and only emit light locally or in a linear manner. This kind of fluorescent beads are not difficult to identify, filled with luminous objects, flawed, with obvious traces, and are easy to see through with the naked eye.

"I heard that the Night Pearl still has radiation, be careful. Andy couldn't help but say.

This kind of statement, as if when reading a book, the textbook says so, Andy also remembers this.

Hu Yang shook his head slightly: "If you want to talk about radiation, many things in the world have radiation, such as the computers we often use. Even, if you go out casually to bask in the sun, the radiation will be stronger. For us, in fact, there are a lot of so-called radiation, and the impact is not great, so don't be blinded by some experts.

Of course, there are a very small number of fluorite, which may indeed contain strong radiation, so try to avoid it!

After all, fluorite is also formed from volcanic eruptions, and the center of the earth itself has strong radiation. ”

Therefore, we are in a radiation environment almost all the time, but many of the radiation is relatively weak and will not affect the health of the human body. And some of the radiation, even the good ones, can kill the bacteria of the human body and the like.

"Brother Hu, what is this?" Ye Ping picked up something and asked.

It seemed to be a kind of gemstone polished bead, blue, quite beautiful. Sure enough, girls always pay attention to these shiny things.

Without waiting for Hu Yang to speak, the young boss who was playing the game just now spoke: "Lapis lazuli, the one you took is of good quality, give you two hundred!"

"Isn't this blue?" Andy couldn't help but ask, is he colorblind?

Hu Yang smiled: "Lapis lazuli is blue. ”

The color of lapis lazuli is determined by the amount of lapis lazuli mineral content it contains, and the color is good if it contains more lapis lazuli minerals, and vice versa, the color is worse, because the lapis lazuli mineral is blue. Therefore, lapis lazuli jade is generally blue, and the blue tone is strong, pure, and uniform.

If there are white stone lines or white spots intertwined in the color, the intensity, purity, and uniformity of the color will be reduced, and the quality will be reduced.

It is a relatively rare gemstone, and the blue color of lapis lazuli is often very valuable. The reason why lapis lazuli is so popular is because it is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, which has many functions and powerful effects.

Generally speaking, there are four grades of lapis lazuli:

The color dark blue is the best grade, called imperial blue, and the market price of bead products is about 100 yuan per gram.

There is a little gold, no white, and blue color, and the market price is about 80 yuan per gram.

Some gold, white spots, light blue color, the market price is 20-60 yuan/gram.

Gold is more white and more colorful, blue with black spots, and the market price is a few yuan to more than ten yuan per gram. Lapis gold small carvings and play pieces range from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan depending on their quality.

Most of the most common lapis lazuli on the market are jade-grade lapis lazuli, and the price ranges from tens of yuan to a gram, while the price of gem-grade lapis lazuli pendants can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.

The bead in Ye Ping's hand, the size of a thumb, looks quite blue, but it is actually a waste bead.

Hu Yang instructed: "You try to look at the sun." ”

Ye Ping's fingers pinched the beads, which were transparent to the sun, but they could faintly see a trace of cracks. Seeing this scene, Ye Ping put down the beads lightly.

When the young boss saw it, he immediately rolled his eyes, looking helpless.

Aunt Ye looked at all the lapis lazuli on the stall to the sun as if she had learned knowledge, and picked out five of them.

Hu Yang pointed: "Auntie, the one on the side is good." ”

In the end, Aunt Ye picked up six beads, and the boss asked for eight hundred.

The aunt let everyone see what the aunt bargained for, and it took ten minutes to cut it to 300 yuan.
