Chapter 25: The Heshen Brothers (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
As for the coffee table, it is made of rosewood, which belongs to the late Qing Dynasty, and is not a superb, with a value of less than one million.
After the appraisal, Zhou Lao was impressed by the young man Populus euphratica, and was no longer looking at the eyes of the juniors.
"Come, let's take a look at your blue glaze brush wash first!" Zhou Lao said.
He also loves the treasures of the study, and in the study, there are all kinds of treasures, and the pen wash is not one or two. But he wanted a blue glazed pen holder, pen wash and the like for a long time, but he couldn't get it.
Populus euphratica didn't talk nonsense, and took out a pair of pen washes that were originally used as food cans and water jugs.
"It's really a pair, it's rare. Zhou Lao looked at it and said in surprise.
I saw two pen washes, one with carved bamboo around the body, and the other with plum blossom patterns.
Generally speaking, pen washes are separate, no one puts two pen washes on the desk, and the pretending is not like this, do you really think that some people say that? If you have money, you have to prepare two, one for use, and one for loss?
"So, they should be custom-made. Hu Yang said.
This is just as precious as the current custom version, or limited edition.
"Why do you want to order two?" Sun Zhidong didn't understand a little, although the carvings of the two blue glaze brushes were different, but they were a pair, there was no need, right?
The reason why they are judged to be a pair is mainly that the two brushstrokes have a sentence and a poem, which together are the same poem. One of them is engraved: There is a road for the road in the book mountain. The other is: learning the sea is endless!
"Their original owners were two brothers. ”
As soon as Hu Yang's words came out, everyone looked at him suddenly.
"How?"
This speculation is reasonable, but the evidence is the most important thing.
"At first, I didn't think much of it until I saw these two words. Hu Yang moved the two pen washes, and showed the two words that fell on the two pen washes in different positions.
"Shen, Lin, or two brothers, who?" Sun Zhidong frowned, trying to recall, the two brothers were celebrities.
Zhou Lao also had the same expression, and suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "He Shen, He Lin?"
Everyone is familiar with Heshen, the big corrupt officials in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that in the entire history of China for thousands of years, there is no corrupt official like Heshen, it is too famous.
However, there are not many people who have heard of the character of He Lin.
In fact, He Lin is also a big man, and He Shen are two brothers. He was a general, and later because of his military exploits, Emperor Qianlong gave He Lin three dazzling feathers, which was an honor that He Shen did not have.
"Is it them?" Sun Zhidong also reacted immediately.
"He Shen has a brother?" Hua Tsai also heard about it for the first time, and asked in surprise.
Hu Yang explained: "Everyone may not know much about He Lin, he and his eldest brother He Shen are one and the same. To be honest, He Lin is not highly educated, and he is destined to get ahead only by relying on bow horses.
Unlike He Shen, this person has a high reputation in history, is brave and good at fighting, and acts frugally.
Before, I told you that these two brushstrokes are imitation works of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, celebrities of the Qianlong period, or two brothers, and they are the only ones who have the words 'Shen' and 'Lin'. ”
After listening to Hu Yang's words, whether it was Zhou Lao, Andy, Sun Zhidong, or the audience in the live broadcast room, they were all convinced.
"This blue glaze does look like the Qianlong period. Zhou Lao nodded.
He also has a study of Ji blue glazed porcelain, which began to appear in the Yuan Dynasty, and Ji blue glaze has gone through three generations of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Each dynasty has its own characteristics, but later generations seem to prefer the blue glaze of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the Yuan Dynasty was the beginning of the blue glaze, and the firing process has matured, and the glaze color has been stable, the glaze surface has not cracked, but the Yuan Dynasty has not existed for a long time, there are few works left, and most of the imitations on the market, so it has not received much attention.
The Ming Dynasty's blue glaze, which is the best in the Xuande period, the biggest feature of the blue glazed porcelain of this period is that the inside and outside are full of glaze, and most of them are single-color glaze.
In the Qing Dynasty, the blue glaze ushered in the spring again, and the blue glaze did not appear in the entire Qing Dynasty, especially in the Qianlong period, the blue glaze became the color of the officially recognized porcelain of the heavens, and it has been greatly developed.
Zhou Lao looked at the color of this pair of blue glaze brushstrokes, which could not be burned in the Ming Dynasty.
"Imitation of Ming? I thought it was from the Xuande period at first?" Sun Zhidong was surprised again.
He mainly saw the style at the bottom of the pen wash, "Xuande Year Made", thinking of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Ji blue glaze is also very famous, so there is no doubt, so I didn't think of the Heshen brothers just now, after all, this is a figure of the Qing Dynasty.
"Look at the bottom of the foot. Populus reminded.
Zhou Lao nodded: "That's right, there are enamel decorative patterns on the bottom, which is not available in the Ming Dynasty." ”
He knew very well that the Ji blue glaze in this period was no longer a monochrome glazed porcelain compared with the previous dynasty, and also added pastel, enamel and other decorative techniques with Qing Dynasty characteristics, thus further improving the collection value of Qing Dynasty Ji blue glazed porcelain.
Whether it is pastel or enamel, it is something that only existed in the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, the pair of blue glaze brushes in front of me can only be an object after the Qing Dynasty.
"Fangming, it is also related to He Shen, the value of this pen wash is very high!" Zhou Lao said as he tapped his fingers on the table.
Although it is an imitation, it is also a boutique, and in Zhou Lao's heart, the value of this pen wash is more than one million. If there is no relationship with Shen, the value will be halved. This is the celebrity effect.
"It's a pity, it's not an official kiln. "Zhou Lao is a little regretful.
Although it is also a fine product, it can only be regarded as a fine product fired by a private kiln, and the value is much worse. Let's put it this way! If it is an official kiln, this pair of pen washes will be at least more than 5 million.
"Brother Hu, how about these two brushstrokes, which are counted as 1.8 million?" asked Zhou Lao.
Hu Yang nodded: "Yes." ”
He knows that the blue glazed fine porcelain has an auction record of nearly 10 million, but it is produced by the official kiln and cannot be compared. 1.8 million, not particularly high, but not low either, do not suffer.
The audience in the live broadcast room is no longer able to complain, and it is too terrifying for the anchor to make money.
They know that the birdcage and this pair of pen washes only cost a total of 100,000 yuan. Before this birdcage was sold, the food cans and water jugs inside were sold for nearly two million.
"Didn't the anchor say more than 600,000 yuan before? This is too far away, right? It seems that the anchor is not very good at valuation!"
At the beginning, Brother Hu didn't see the relationship between Bi Xi and Brother Heshen. But all cultural relics, as long as they are related to historical celebrities, will be worth double, don't you know?"
"That's it!"
"I really want to learn how to appreciate treasures. ”
"Forget it, it's boring, and ordinary people can't learn it at all. ”
