After listening to what Yu Yao said, Lao Zhou nodded slightly.

Yu Yao continued, "First, this is a piece of Jun kiln porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and there is no problem. Second, the skill of this Jun porcelain is high, far beyond the level of Jun kilns in the same period. Third, if it is not a very satisfactory work, it is impossible for Xiao Song to engrave again after his escape, and even if people of the same period want to imitate, it is impossible to choose the time after Xiao Song's escape. ”

Lao Zhou, "Moreover, the soil and glaze of this incense burner are very special, which also shows that it is not fired from a conventional kiln, which is very different from the one in the museum." ”

"Since he has passed away, why do you want to burn an incense burner?" asked Pu Jie again

"Whether he died suddenly or not is just a record of wild history. Moreover, judging from his escape, he must have gone to face the Buddha wholeheartedly, and the shape of this 'two carving' incense burner is also a Buddhist treasure, so this is also very possible. ”

At this time, Lao Zhou and Pu Jie nodded together, and said in unison, "How to estimate the value?"

"The bottom line is definitely higher than the fine products of the Jun kiln in the Yuan Dynasty; as for the high point, there is really no reference. The museum piece can't be valued. Yu Yao responded.

"Even if it is a well-preserved fine incense burner of the Jun kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, it can be worth several million, and the bottom line of this piece cannot be less than 10 million, right?"

"Yes, 10 million is just the bottom line. If you want to know the highs, unless you go through a market test. I'm definitely not going to make a move, though. Yu Yao also thought about it, "It's a little strange. ”

"Why did you say the original owner came out?"

"Well, if he can set a reserve price of one million, it means that he understands this thing. ”

Lao Zhou smiled, "I understand, I also have to see what extent." What is the biggest problem affecting the judgment of this incense burner? It is the 'second moment'! Ordinary people, when they come up, they will first think that with 'Xiao Song's self-made incense burner,' then future generations will imitate it, and they will definitely rely on it, and the more they look at it, the more they will feel that it is an imitation!"

Pu Jie interface, "Yes." In fact, there is no need to make so many twists and turns, in the final analysis, it is a point, eyesight! Not everyone can be killed with a hammer, this is the Jun kiln of the Yuan Dynasty; even if it can be determined to die, this is the Jun kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, but how many can be killed This incense burner is far higher than the level of the ordinary Jun kiln of the Yuan Dynasty?"

"This person is already strange, and the things that have happened are not the same. I'm convinced of your judgment! So, it doesn't matter why his original owner sold it like this? Lao Zhou said again.

Yu Yao couldn't help but smile, "Yes, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to think too much. Let's go, let's eat. ”

After lunch, Lao Zhou and Pu Jie were still a little excited. Although this is not a leak they picked up, but such a thing is really too refreshing! So, Lao Zhou proposed to go to the antique market in Zhongzhou to shop, and Pu Jie raised his hands in agreement.

Yu Yao originally wanted to plan to return to Jiangzhou, but after such a visit, it is estimated that he will not be able to leave today. Pu Jie said, "Book a return ticket now, it's nothing to be a day late." ”

As a result, there will be a flight from Zhongzhou to Jiangzhou at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and in the end, the three of them booked this ticket.

There are two main large antique markets in Zhongzhou, and locals like to divide them into "old and new".

The new antique market is Zhongzhou Antique City, the main four-story building, the main entrance is hung with the plaque of "Zhongzhou Antique City", the side door is several, and there are also plaques such as "Zhongzhou Jewelry City" and "Zhongzhou Furniture City", which is a pure shop-type antique city.

The antique market is relatively loosely distributed. There are two streets, and there is also a two-story old building in the center, with a plaque of "Antique City", and although there are some shops inside, most of them are rows of stalls. On the two streets, there are many doormen's houses, and there are also stalls.

The current antique market or antique city is actually not very "ancient", and modern handicrafts and cultural toys account for a considerable proportion.

The reason is very simple, there are fewer and fewer old objects, and genuine products are already rare, with high imitations everywhere and fakes rampant. And there are many fewer people who can play antiques than the literary ones.

The three of them also wanted to go to the old antique market this afternoon.

They walked in from one end of the street, and halfway through, they found that most of the small storefronts on both sides could not escape from three categories: beeswax, green pine, and southern red.

These three things can be regarded as popular products in the current market, but they are also a concentration camp for fake goods. Even if it is genuine, many of them have been processed, such as what beeswax baking, boiling, green pine, southern red glue injection, and so on There are too many means.

There is a key word for these things - raw ore, that is, the raw materials must not be optimized in any way. Veteran players only recognize the raw ore.

Of course, the general means can't hide from the old players, and the merchants are aiming at the novices who continue to break into the field of cultural games, especially the novices who love to be cheap.

On this stretch of the road, the three of them did not enter a small shop, and walked relatively quickly, and only stopped in front of a stall in front of a small shop.

On this stall, there is a part of old beeswax.

Old beeswax can be regarded as an antique. There are roughly several kinds: one is West Asian wax, mostly cake barrel beads, one is European trade beads, there are relatively more jujube-shaped beads, and there are cakes; and there is another kind of Tibetan wax, the source of Tibetan wax is mostly from West Asian wax, but after the Tibetan residents wear and play, oxidation and pulp are often in place.

Whether it is West Asian wax or European trade beads, it was basically a function of money in the beginning. Many of the European trade beads were cellared, packed in jars, and later dug up. This is similar to the truth that Huaxia dug out a jar of ingots and copper coins.

The function of beeswax as currency is because around the Baltic Sea in Europe, precious metals are relatively scarce, but amber beeswax deposits are very rich, and different forms of beads, cylinders, and cakes are made of beeswax, representing different monetary units of measurement.

In general, old beeswax is more expensive than newly mined beeswax. Of course, the new beeswax can not be generalized, Russian material, Ukrainian material, Danish sea drift, etc. are all different, even if they are of the same origin, the quality is also very different. New beeswax also has a high price of the best.

This stall should be set up in a small store, and the small store has a plaque of "Sister Fang's beeswax" hanging on it.

When the three of them stopped, a middle-aged woman behind the stall was selling a string of 108 old beeswax beads to a man in his thirties.

This string of beads has more than 40 grams, and the price is 28 grams. At this time, the man bit a string of eight thousand eight and refused to mention it again, but the middle-aged woman seemed very hesitant.

Yu Yao glanced at the side and found that it was really an old beeswax strung of European trade beads, with a diameter of 8 to 9 millimeters, slightly in the shape of an "apple circle".
