Chapter Twenty-Seven: Real and Fake Vases

"Well, that's right, this private auction is hosted by him, and this person has several antique and jade shops in his hands, and because the things in the store are more genuine, so he is very famous. ”

"After all, in these days, there are fewer and fewer real antique porcelain, and rare is expensive. Gu Huainan explained to her.

The two of them stood quite far forward, and Gu Huainan's voice was not too small, this old man glanced at them, of course, the main thing was Gu Huainan, and he immediately smiled.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gu, it is really an honor for Hua to be invited to come. ”

This kind of place is different from some cocktail parties, Jiang Nuan, the female companion, will not pay much attention to it in the eyes of these antique masters and some collectors here.

Gu Huainan smiled: "Hua Lao's words can torment me, with your status in the antique world, I can't compare with a junior, looking at Hua Lao's appearance, did you get a good object again?"

"Haha, Mr. Gu's eyesight is high. ”

Hua Lao laughed a few times, and did not deny it, and the others were immediately interested, after all, the objects that can be specially displayed, needless to say, must have a great future.

After all, ordinary things will not make Hua Lao Xingshi move, and suddenly, some people who love antiques have urged.

Hua Lao didn't hang everyone's appetite, motioned to the bodyguard on the side to step forward, put down the tray in his hand, he brushed it, and lifted the red cloth towel.

With the uproar of the crowd, they all stepped forward to watch, and some people held magnifying glasses to observe.

Gu Huainan originally didn't plan to step forward to join in the fun, but after he glanced at it casually, his pupils shrank.

I saw that in the middle of the mahogany tray was a vase-shaped porcelain, although the handle, the bottom mouth, as well as the mouth and lower part of the bottle were stained with some black and yellow soil.

Even the bottle has two places that have been slightly damaged, revealing red lines of rust spots, but you can still see how beautiful this porcelain must have been when it was complete.

Everyone watched for a while, and many people had already begun to exclaim.

"This can't be a gilded eight-treasure lotus pattern bottle. ”

"Yes, I think so, too. ”

"Hua Lao, this thing is said to be extinct now, you actually have it in your hand, hide it deep enough. ”

Hua Lao smiled proudly and raised his hand: "This object was also obtained by me by chance, and it was like this after I got it, and I didn't move it too much." ”

"Many of you here are seniors in the antique industry, and I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to identify them. ”

After all, there have been several cases of gilded eight-treasure lotus pattern bottles sold on the black market of antiques, but without exception, all of them are high-quality imitations, and none of them are genuine.

Now there is another one, looking at the appearance, as long as everyone thinks that this thing may be real, their hearts are pounding, and they observe more carefully.

Jiang Nuan didn't understand porcelain antiques at all, and he couldn't appreciate the beauty of this thing, so he whispered a very layman's word.

"Even if this is true, I think this vase is damaged in a lot of places, is it still worth it?"

Gu Huainan smiled: "There are special cultural restorers in the antique world, although they can't be 100% repaired, but it is still possible to restore seventy or eighty percent, and if the antiques that are not seriously damaged, some can be completely restored." ”

She nodded knowingly, so that's it, and then turned her eyes to look at him: "Since you will come to this auction, are you also interested in antiques?"

"I can't talk about being interested, but the Gu family has some business in this area. He said it concisely and to the point, and Jiang Nuan didn't ask.

These people stepped forward to observe very carefully, and after half an hour passed, the gathered people slowly dispersed.

"Master Wang, look at it, is it genuine?"

After one of the bosses asked this sentence, in an instant, the others also looked at the gray-haired, crutche-on, respectable old man in the middle.

"This is an honorary advisor to the National Antiques Appraisal Association. Gu Huainan introduced the other party's identity to Jiang Nuan.

This Master Wang's eyebrows were slightly small, and he seemed to be a little undecided, and slowly spoke after a while.

"This gilded eight-treasure lotus pattern vase, the bottom seal is semicircular, the two ends are wide, the middle is flat, the earthy quality, from the color and smell, it is indeed many years, from the depths. ”

"The pattern of the bottle body, the pattern painted on it, the production of white kiln is not wrong, the handle end on the left and right sides, the dragon plays with the pearl, the dragon's eye is open and closed, and the left and right directions are opposite......"

"All of this, the old man seems to have no problems, but despite this, the old man is still not completely sure, can only say that compared with the few that have flowed out of the market, this one, from all aspects, is the closest to the genuine product. ”

In other words, although this Master Wang can't be sure whether this thing is 100% genuine, it is the most genuine one that has been circulated.

As for whether it is or not, it is a personal opinion for those who are present now.

Although he didn't explain it directly, the latter sentence still made many collection bosses present shine in their eyes.

Hua Lao's originally somewhat ugly face is now much better.

Since he got this thing, he dared to take it out on the spot and give it to the people present, naturally he had already appraised it, so he was so confident.

And the result of his appraisal is that the one in his hand is undoubtedly genuine.

So much so that he was almost denied by this Master Wang just now, it is no wonder that his face can be good, after all, he is going to take this out for auction today.

Once it is denied, isn't it in the way of people's money?

"This gilded eight-treasure lotus pattern bottle Hua is taken out for auction today, and those of you here, if you are interested, you can bid, and the reserve price is 30 million. ”

Jiang Nuan's eyes widened, and he was taken aback by the reserve price offered by this person.

Gu Huainan chuckled: "Think it's too high, you know, the first few gilded eight-treasure lotus pattern bottles that have been circulated have all been sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

Her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "But aren't those all fake?"

"It's fake, but when you buy it, you think it's real, even if you know the truth afterwards? Antique appreciation is originally a place of luck, eyesight, and financial resources. ”

"Buy the real one, rejoice, buy the fake, bear it yourself, don't complain about others, this line is the rule, let's go, these people have finished reading, let's go forward and take a look." ”

Gu Huainan is obviously also a little interested in this thing.

This is the first time that Jiang Nuan has been in contact with antiques so closely, and when he gets close, he can even smell an earthy smell in the soil.

She couldn't help frowning and shrugging her nose, and a hint of doubt flashed between her eyebrows, how did this smell ......
