The old man smiled, "This is not what a buyer should ask, you should be more concerned about the price." ”

Yu Yao also smiled, "I'm not a buyer anymore. ”

"Oh?"

"Uncle, you are so clean, the price must not be low, and you must also know that if you want to remove the two layers of paint, you must have to spend a lot of money. ”

"You don't really want to take 20,000, do you?" the old man narrowed.

"You set the price, and I left it because of the price. Yu Yao paused, "However, what you said also makes sense, I didn't meet, I just passed the word in the middle, and I can't do it." ”

"Okay!" the old man looked at Yu Yao and nodded, "Let me tell you, the reason why I want to sell it is because I have another thing in sight and am short of money." ”

"So you're a player!"

"I entered the door when I was old, and I didn't play well. "The old man is still modest.

"You have studied this flat case with no end to 10,000 words. ”

"That's right, because there used to be a similar red sandalwood case in the Old Summer Palace. The old man lit another cigarette, "Young man, I see that you are young, but you have a calm energy, you should know it, right?"

"I know, but this one is definitely not that one, not only is it smaller, but it is not the craftsmanship of the office at all, it should be carefully imitated by the folk masters according to that one. ”

There is a study room called Wanchun Pavilion in the Old Summer Palace, which was built by Emperor Yongzheng, in addition to a painting case of "ten thousand words are not the end", the pattern of the window bar is also spelled "ten thousand words are not the head".

The painting case is made of rosewood of the same material, spelling out 10,000 (swastika) characters, forming a pattern of less than 10,000 words. Doing such a case can be described as labor-intensive and time-consuming. Exquisite, it can be called a classic of classical furniture.

It's just a pity that the painting was said to have been destroyed when the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace.

"Sure enough, good eyesight!" the old man said, "However, this case is not simple! I want to sell it for 800,000 yuan, isn't it high?"

"Not high. "Yu Yao told the truth, even if it was a flat rosewood case of the same size in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, with excellent craftsmanship and intact, it would be worth three or five hundred thousand. This "10,000 words are not enough", how can it be worth more than one million, and if it is auctioned, it is not impossible to rush to two million.

Further, if the paint can be faded intact, the value will be even higher.

"Alas!" the old man sighed, "I was still young and didn't understand the preciousness of this case, so in order to avoid accidents, I painted it, which is really regrettable." ”

"Uncle, this is all in the past. After Yu Yao heard the price of 800,000 yuan, he didn't really want to buy it. First, he had the intention of picking up leaks, but the gap during this period was too big; second, to remove two layers of paint and ensure that the case was intact, it was estimated that even a master would have to take a month to complete, and the cost was also very high.

"Hey, haven't you asked what to call it?" the old man suddenly raised his eyebrows, "My surname is Xu, you can call me Lao Xu." ”

"My surname is Yu, you can call me Xiaoyu. ”

"Xiaoyu, you are so young and have such good eyesight, if you are not busy, how about taking a look at what I want to buy?"

"Lao Xu won't tell you, it's okay tonight. But I'm from out of town, and I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I don't necessarily have time to look at things. ”

"You can watch it now!"

"Antiques, just looking at pictures and videos, I'm afraid it still won't work. ”

"The real thing is at my house!" Lao Xu got up, "Since you're not busy tonight, you wait." ”

"Ah, haven't you bought it yet?" Yu Yao didn't expect that the thing was already in Lao Xu's hands;

"My friend's things, I brought them first, and I wrote the receipt. ”

Lao Xu then took out a brocade box from the back room, which was very large and flat.

"It can't be a porcelain plate, right?" asked Yu Yao.

"Awesome! You can guess this!" Lao Xu put the brocade box on the coffee table, opened it, and took out a large plate from it.

The diameter of this large plate is one foot away, the white glaze is shiny, and the center of the plate is colorful, which is a green landscape map.

Lao Xu took the opportunity to show Yu Yao the bottom money: the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty.

Among the colored porcelain, it is nothing more than bucket color, five colors, pastels, enamel colors and so on. Doucai and Wucai were the mainstream of colored porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. However, although the color of the multicolored porcelain is strong and distinct, the changes are often relatively simple.

Patterns like landscapes require a certain amount of shade rendering and excessive layering, and it is difficult to express them with colors. Later in the Qing Dynasty, pastels appeared, which were more suitable for expressing a variety of pictorial requirements.

Kangxi Wucai, it can be said that there has been a huge breakthrough, the integration of color and pen and ink to a new height, so there is a picture of colorful landscape.

After showing the bottom paragraph, Lao Xu put the large plate flat on the coffee table.

Yu Yao took a closer look.

Colorful landscapes, pen and ink and firing process are difficult, but the pen and ink of this plate is very amazing, layers of mountains, mist and clouds, rivers and rivers, wild trees. The colorful colors and the charm of the ink landscape complement each other.

"How is it?" Lao Xu couldn't wait to ask while Yu Yao was still watching.

Yu Yao's best thing at the moment is porcelain, in fact, he has already understood it, but he is also interested in some details, so he looked at it for a while.

"Uncle, I don't know much about porcelain, but it looks pretty beautiful. Yu Yao smiled, "I won't express my opinion." I still have a meal here, so I'll leave it. ”

"Hey, you don't want to say it!" Lao Xu listened, "I'll tell you, just say what you think." ”

Yu Yao smiled bitterly, and secretly said in his heart, this plate is a high imitation, can I say it directly? You said that it was your friend's, when I opened my mouth, who did you two fight?

This large plate, the high imitation technology is very good, and it is deeply rooted in the essence of Kangxi's colorful landscapes, which is extremely difficult to identify. Yu Yao can see that it is because he knows everything about color materials.

Kangxi's colorful color materials and firing process, that is the ancient method, the effect of the outcome, all rely on the craftsman's skillful skills. The glaze of this large plate is no problem, and the painting is also in place, but the color materials used are added to the chemical raw materials to make such an effect.

"I really don't understand porcelain, how can I talk nonsense. Yu Yao looked at Lao Xu, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, "But Lao Xu, there are many museums in Chang'an, you can take it to the experts to identify it!"

"I've consulted a few experts, some of whom said that there was no problem, and some of them said that they were not very optimistic. Lao Xu stretched out his finger and knocked on the coffee table, "So, it doesn't hurt what you say, there is no unity among experts!"

Without waiting for Yu Yao's interface, Lao Xu said again, "Also, the owner of the goods is indeed my friend and an old friend, but it doesn't mean that he can't sell me fakes." Because his eyesight can't necessarily discern, don't you?"
