Chapter 189: A Set of Dzi

The woman chuckled, "Uncle Kuo, are you afraid?"

Uncle Kuo was serious, "My Gao Lian Kuo's life was given by the master, it doesn't matter what, but if the second lady has any mistakes, how can I explain to the master······"

The woman followed Uncle Kuo's example, "I, Tan Xinningji, have my own natural appearance, so I won't have an accident!

Uncle Kuo shook his head helplessly, "Second Miss, you should rest early." ”

Tan Xinning sent it to the door, turned around and closed the door, his eyes slanted forty-five degrees, "Sharp eyes?

······

The next day, Yu Yao came to the auction site early, and in the miscellaneous field in the morning, there were two things from him, a bronze statue of Wang Yulan and Zhao Gongming, and a gold cloisonné enamel bottle.

For these two things, the starting price of the bronze statue of Zhao Gongming is 1 million, but a reserve price of 2 million is set. In other words, if the auction is less than two million, the bronze statue will be considered a failed auction and will return to Yu Yao's hands.

The auction record of the bronze statue of Wang Yulan in the Ming Dynasty, the highest one, has reached more than four million.

However, this one is obviously not as good as that one, and Yu Yao estimates it at two million to three million. However, there should not be too much difference between the starting price and the reserve price, and if the starting price is set too high, the bidding effect will naturally be reduced.

Yu Yao came by picking up the leaks, and if this bronze statue is more than two million, it is reasonable, so he agreed.

The starting price of the bottle is also 1 million, but there is no reserve price, because this is one of the three things about the bottle, and it does not bring money; if it is not a golden fetus, it is difficult to sell even if it is a million. A starting price of one million is enough.

Just when he entered the auction room, inadvertently, Yu Yao suddenly saw Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo.

Isn't that the two guys in the hotel last night?

At this time, Tan Xinning also saw him and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

At this time, Uncle Kuo stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Little brother, we meet again." I'm really sorry yesterday, I didn't mean to, when everyone has a distraction, I hope you don't mind. ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Yu Yao also smiled, "Understand, it's over." ”

"Little brother is open-minded, please first. ”

Yu Yao was also polite, "Thank you." So he entered the auction first.

This time, he mainly watched what his things looked like, and he didn't plan to shoot, so he chose the last row. Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo sat in the second row.

When the auction began, Yu Yao did not see Xie Zhihao.

The gold cloisonné enamel vase is the third piece to be auctioned, and there are not many bids, and the transaction price is not high, only 250,000 more than the auction price, and 1.25 million is sold.

Yu Yao didn't have any special emotions, this price was normal.

The bronze statue of Wang Yulan and Zhao Gongming is in the middle position, and the bidding situation is really beyond Yu Yao's expectations, soaring all the way to three million, and there are still three or four people competing.

Two of them, looking at the dress, are a bit of an upstart feeling.

Yu Yaoxin said, what is this against the craftsmanship of Wang Yulan, a bronze master in the Ming Dynasty? This is clearly aimed at Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth!

The last hammer fell, 3.8 million!

Yu Yao shook his neck, very satisfied.

Looking at it all the way, Yu Yao didn't make a move. He had already looked at the auction catalogue in detail, and it was true that there was nothing he was interested in.

There are many kinds of things in the miscellaneous field, and there are many people at the beginning, but slowly there are fewer and fewer, because most people come for one or two things, and they don't necessarily understand that if they understand this.

When it came to the penultimate lot, Yu Yao saw in the back that he met those two people in the hotel last night, Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo were still there. And before, they had not made a move.

The penultimate lot, which is the lot before the finale, is also very important.

This is a set of dzi.

Two three-eyed dzi of about the same size, about one centimeter in diameter and three centimeters in length, and one large nine-eyed dzi, one and a half centimeters in diameter and six centimeters long.

The three dzi beads were also equipped with glazed beads, braided ropes and threaded together, and made into hanging ornaments. The owner of the cargo is obviously thoughtful.

This group of dzi beads, Yu Yao noticed when he previewed, because the position was more conspicuous. But he was not interested in the dzi and did not come forward to take a closer look.

Dzi is a relatively complex thing, mainly produced in Tibet and its surroundings.

Before the 7th century, there were conch dzi and nine-eyed stone shale dzi, but they are basically gone. Nowadays, the highest grade dzi recognized by the mainstream on the market is the purest dzi.

It takes a thousand years to be called pure.

The material of the purest dzi is agate chalcedony, an old mine in Tibet, and then it is inlaid with a potion made of natural herbal pigments to form a pattern on the bead body, and it has to be burned to finally complete.

This ancient method is said to have been lost. There are different accounts of the lost year, and many people believe that it was broken in the Qing Dynasty at the latest.

Dzi could have been classified in the jade field, but when you look at it, the material is actually ordinary, and there is no carving process. More than that, in fact, it is historical and religious significance. Therefore, it makes sense to classify it as miscellaneous.

When the bronzes did not go out independently, they were also classified as miscellaneous like other bronzes.

The images that appear on the big screen are detailed, but the annotations are very simple, only a set of dzi, two three-eyed dzis, one nine-eyed dzi, and then the size;

This group of dzi is very complete, if it is the purest dzi of the generation, there are tens of millions of things on the market.

But it makes sense that the auction house does not indicate it.

Because even the purest dzi is not like other qualitative antiques. For example, if a Qianlong official kiln is put out, whether it is true or false can be publicly discussed. But the purest dzi is different, some aspects are relatively vague, take the year as an example, a thousand years is considered pure, so nine hundred years, eight hundred years are counted?

There are also some dzi that have been handed down for hundreds of years, and they also use old mineral materials from Tibetan areas, and ancient methods are also adopted, if these are all in place, the difference is only wear and slurry. But even if it is a thousand-year-old pure dzi, if the disc is less touched in the process of inheritance, the wear and tear are not enough as the pulp.

In fact, not to mention the thousand-year-old pure dzi, even if there is a small number of years of several hundred years, there are very few. Otherwise, the purest dzi would not have been fried at such a high price.

And now some of the so-called purest dzi on the market are filled with a large number of high-quality imitations from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and even modern high-imitation products. As long as you make one piece, you can make a lot of money.

There are also collectors, retreating to the second, the collection of the Qing Dynasty material dzi, the material of this dzi is not agate chalcedony, but with hardware Tibetan medicine and other ingredients mixed made, in order to increase the weight, some also add lead tires.

This kind of dzi, the amount is relatively large, because the Qing Dynasty attached importance to Tibetan Buddhism, the ancient method of the purest dzi was lost, so this kind of material dzi was made for temple offerings.

This group of dzi in the Tianhe Auction Miscellaneous Field, because Yu Yao didn't look at it at the preview, can't see through it just by looking at the big screen, and I don't know if it's really pure, or if the year is slightly shallow. But it feels like it shouldn't be a high imitation after the Qing Dynasty.

The starting price is 3.6 million.
