It was still a stranger, but it was not an old man, but an old lady.

The old lady was simple and tidy, and her face was ruddy, a little like a crane-haired child.

It's not uncommon for an old lady to come in this antique shop, Yu Yao thought to himself that it shouldn't be for some first and second sight, so he greeted him while thinking about it.

The old lady looked at the two young men in the store and was slightly stunned, "Is the boss there?"

"I am. Yu Yao responded, "What do you have to care about?"

The old lady was also carrying a bag in her hand, which looked like it should be pure leather, but the style was very old, "You collect antiques here, right?"

"Collect is collect. Yu Yao originally estimated that she was not buying things, but even if she wanted to sell something, this old lady didn't seem to be a familiar hand, so she piggybacked, "But there are two points." First, you have to look at it to decide whether you can accept it or not, and second, you can't accept it because the source of the thing is unknown. ”

"Then look. The old lady opened the bag as she spoke, took out a brocade box and put it on the counter, "It's no problem to come here, it's an old thing at home." ”

Yu Yao nodded. He was made this by the old man just now, and now he also wants to solve it quickly.

Open the brocade box and see, it is a carved white bowl, the caliber has to be 16 or 7 centimeters, the tire is thin, the glaze is moist, the carving is exquisite, and the bowl mouth is also inlaid with mouth.

The inlay must be metal, very old, and has a rich chestnut skin color.

This bowl, Pu Jie can roughly judge one or two after looking at it twice, and he can't help but glance at Yu Yao again.

Yu Yao gave a positive look.

This is a fixed kiln bowl, and it should be a rare good thing from the Northern Song Dynasty. This Jiangzhou is considered to be in the south, and there are far fewer things on the market than in the north.

Pu Jie saw that Yu Yao was sure, and he didn't hold back, "Old lady, did you set this bowl of mouth yourself?"

In fact, he could also see that it was not the back inlay, but since he had already spoken, he simply probed.

"It's an old inlay, and it's not new at first glance. ”

"Oh, there's a lot of porcelain with copper mouths. "Pu Jie interface.

The old lady was expressionless, "This is not a copper mouth, the copper mouth has been in the mouth for a long time, it is anti-black and green." The color of this chestnut skin is either gold or silver. ”

When Yu Yao heard this, this old lady was really different from the old man just now, and she was very knowledgeable! Indeed, the inlay of this bowl was not copper, but gold.

"You're an expert!" Yu Yao smiled, "Then your bowl ······"

"You don't have to take my words, I understand metal, but I don't understand porcelain. It has been passed down from home and has not moved. ”

Yu Yao nodded, "Oh, the thing that has been handed down from the family seems to be this one piece of porcelain." ”

The old lady frowned slightly, "Young man, you are young and can talk enough." This bowl was lent to people by my father back then, but he couldn't pay it back, so he used this bowl to pay off his debts. My father didn't know much either, but he was kind and knew that people were really in trouble, so he stayed. ”

"In that case, why don't you go to appraisal?" Yu Yao asked directly this time.

The old lady's brows furrowed even more, and she stared at Yu Yao's eyes for a while, but she didn't speak.

Yu Yao smiled, "Okay, how much money are you going to sell?"

The old lady answered the previous question, "My father didn't find someone to identify him, naturally there is a reason, but it is not enough for outsiders." ”

After a pause, she said, "I'm making a move now, and I originally wanted to go to the auction, but today I went to an auction house, but he told me a bunch of routines, and asked me to make some messy money first." I went to the Qixingqiao Antique Market again, and I ended up walking a few places, all of which were ill-intentioned. ”

Yu Yao chuckled in his heart, "What do you mean?"

"That's all I have to say. The old lady put away the porcelain bowl and put it in her bag again, "You don't fit here, so I don't need to quote." ”

Yu Yao smiled bitterly, "That means that you sell this thing to see people?

"You're smart. Excuse me, goodbye. After the old lady finished speaking, she took her bag and left. Pu Jie followed, "Old lady, is there any misunderstanding? ”

"I've decided not to sell. The old lady was very resolute and didn't even look at Pu Jie.

Yu Yao walked a few steps quickly and sent the old lady out of the door, but he didn't say much.

"Hey, what's the matter with this old lady?" After turning around, Pu Jie lit a cigarette with a depressed face, "It's not a good thing, it's a brag on the pole;

"Quite a character. As soon as she said that we were not suitable here, I knew that it was impossible to persuade us to turn back. Yu Yao also lit a cigarette, "Forget it, what's the way if you don't sell it?"

"I can only think like this, it's a pity!" Pu Jie asked Yu Yao again, "However, this kiln bowl, is it really inlaid with gold? I haven't heard of it!"

"There is very little mention in the historical materials, so many people in the industry don't know about it. However, I had read a book of "Records of the Offerings of the Song and Song Dynasties" in the library before, which mentioned the "gold buckle" and "silver buckle" of the kiln ware, although it was only a brushstroke, but it showed that there was. ”

As mentioned before, the porcelain of the Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty has a characteristic, which is different from other kilns, that is, there is a period of time when it is "overburned" - the bowl mouth is buckled downward, so that the bottom of the bowl is not exposed, but the bowl mouth is exposed and there is a circle of astringentness.

After firing, it must be repaired and polished, but it is not as smooth as the glaze, so Song Huizong believes that "the fixed vessel is unusable".

The solution to the "unusable" is to open a new kiln and increase the supply of imperial porcelain. This is Ruyao.

Therefore, some people don't know that the Dingyao bowl once had a "gold button" and "silver buckle" royal utensils.

In fact, the most important reason for the unusability is not the "mang" at the mouth of the bowl, but the fact that the kiln is good at white porcelain.

Song Huizong still likes celadon, this white porcelain thing has a little problem, he can't stand it, and the Dingyao Gongfeng porcelain is not good for adding "gold buckles" and "silver buckles", and directly open the kiln.

It is not easy to use the mouth of the bowl with "mang", and it grinds the mouth when eating and drinking porridge. However, it is also the gold and silver inlaid bowl of the royal tribute, since it can not change the attitude of the user, and later opened the Ru kiln, so it is estimated that such things will gradually disappear.

Therefore, this bowl is more precious than the ordinary kiln bowl.

But antiques are not ordinary commodities, and if you want to buy good things, you need to have the right people at the right time. Moreover, there are too many regrets in the antique trade, and I can't help but think about it, otherwise I will be depressed to death if I mix in the industry.

Even if it's like this old lady, it's a bit "nonsensical".

It's a little unpleasant today, Yu Yao lit a cigarette, "Forget it, let's go, close the door and find a good place to eat!"

Of course, it is impossible to be so unhappy every day. The days go by day by day, like a rushing river, with some rushing and some slow, some high and some low.

Soon, it was the second day of the second lunar month when the descendants of the Ghost Eye Gate met to meet in Tianjingshan.
