Volume 1 Chapter 43 The Jade Guanyin Statue of the Ming Dynasty
As soon as Liu Dana's voice fell, the person next to him took out a Tang Sancai female figurine sixty or seventy centimeters high and put it on the table.
The people around them all stood up and reached forward, hoping to see more clearly.
Tang Sancai, as Zhou Tian knows, is the general name of the very famous colored glazed pottery in the Tang Dynasty.
Ordinary people see the camel and horse shape the most.
In fact, Tang Sancai contains a wide range, mostly animals, living utensils and people three categories, because of the poor practicality, mainly used for burial, that is, the dead vessels and figurines.
The first thing Liu Dana showed was a figure Tang Sancai.
The female figurines are cute and cute, slightly bent over, one hand in front and one hand on the side, the whole line is moist and smooth, and the color is mainly green and yellow.
"Good thing!" Liu Shun nodded, and the ghost eye also nodded.
Zhou Tian saw that the female figurines exuded a rich halo around their bodies, and they also knew in their hearts that this was the real thing!
"Now, everyone can send one person up to take a closer look, and the time limit is three minutes!" Liu Dana said again.
"I'll come first!" the arrogant group stood up alone.
Originally, the auction started with the first group of people at the front to look at the objects, but these people who stood up now were not easy to mess with, and the person who stood up half-stood frowned and was a little unhappy.
Liu Dana seemed to know these people, "Since the Huo family in the south is here for the first time, let's make an exception, you can come first!" Liu Dana stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"I didn't expect it to be someone from the Huo family!" Liu Shun snorted coldly.
"Do you know?" asked Zhou Tian curiously.
"How did they get involved?" Liu Shun frowned and said, "The Huo family is in the south, and they dominate the trade of jade ore, and they have never interfered with our well water or river water, so only the Tao family has some dealings with them." ”
Zhou Tian suddenly remembered the eyes of those people looking at the Tao family just now, "Then could they be coming for the Tao family?"
Liu Shun looked back and forth between the Tao family and the Huo family, "I can't say! I'll be clever later!"
Zhou Tian looked back at Black Hawk, who nodded at him.
The person who stepped forward from the Huo family was the one who beat Mei Jiu before, and his beard looked even more fierce and terrifying in this dim sight.
Liu Dana spoke, and the person who was about to step forward just now couldn't say anything, so he sat back very unhappily.
The man looked at the figurine with a half-hunched back, "Can you get started?" he asked, looking up.
"No!" Liu Dana shook his head and replied very simply.
"Oh!" the man didn't say anything, but looked around the platform carefully, and then walked back, and it didn't take him more than three minutes.
When he returned, he muttered to the leader as the others stepped forward.
When it was Liu Shun's turn, he waved his hand directly, indicating that he didn't need to look at it, and he didn't mean it.
It didn't take long to watch it in turn, just over half an hour.
"I've seen it all! The price starts at 1 million, and the price is 100,000 at a time! Let's start!"
After Liu Dana finished speaking, he waited quietly on the side, and the people below discussed with each other, and finally someone began to bid.
It stands to reason that the real Tang Sancai, the market price is more than five million, but also depends on the period of the Tang Dynasty, what shape, and where the kiln is produced, the price will be different.
Like the one in front of him, Liu Shun estimated the market value, around eight million, if it is taken to a regular international auction house for public auction, the price is not easy to say.
Zhou Tian quietly watched others bid, from 1.1 million to 4 million, and was finally photographed by a group of people he didn't know.
The man excitedly took the thing, looked at it carefully with his own people, and finally carefully put it into the box, and then held it in his arms and did not let go.
Liu Shun didn't make a move on the next few things, and Zhou Tian just watched, and then listened to Liu Shun tell him the origin of those things.
There is nothing unusual, and the halo is not as rich as the one at the beginning.
In the second half of the night, Liu Dana asked people to bring up another thing, and Zhou Tian was amused, wasn't it the Xingyao white porcelain lotus open bowl that Liu Shun brought?
After listening to Liu Dana's introduction, the people below all stretched their necks, more interested than anything that came out.
Especially the Li family, Zhou Tian secretly glanced at it, the old man just smiled faintly on his face, and the little demon also looked at it with a smile.
It seems that I already knew that this white porcelain bowl was worthless.
Zhou Tian is funny in his heart, and he won't make you laugh after a while!
Liu Dana spoke, "This piece, the eight hundred Tang Dynasty Xingyao white porcelain lotus open bowl, the shape of the object is rare to see, the word 'Ying' in the inscription, everyone knows that this represents the object that is set to be burned in the palace! The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and the price is 100,000 yuan each time!
As soon as the words fell, there was a buzzing discussion.
Xingyao white porcelain is not absent on the market, even if the price of modern production is more than a few hundred to a few thousand, and some can even reach the price of tens of thousands.
The real Tang Dynasty Xingyao white porcelain has a market price of about hundreds of thousands and millions.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dana directly gave a reserve price of 500,000 yuan, entirely because the shape of this porcelain bowl has never appeared.
The Li family's faces were stunned, and then they turned around and muttered.
When it was the turn of the Li family to go up to see, the old man actually stepped forward in person, holding a magnifying glass and looking carefully at the edge of the bowl, as if he was looking for an old friend who had been separated for many years.
Zhou Tian held back a smile and said to Liu Shun: "Master, do they think we brought a fake!"
"There is a ghost in my heart!" Liu Shun said, and took a sip of the teacup while the old god was there.
"Impossible!" the old man looked at for a long time, and unconsciously muttered.
"What?" Liu Dana didn't hear clearly, and asked.
"Ah, nothing, nothing!" the old man frowned and returned to his seat.
"Okay, I've seen it all! Now let's start bidding!" Liu Dana said when everyone went back.
Although the value of this porcelain bowl is not high, but it is enough to attract people's attention, everyone in the group competes to bid, and after a while, the price has soared from 510,000 to 1.5 million, but the price has not stopped, looking at the posture, it will soon exceed 2 million.
Liu Shun sat there calmly, and the people of the Li family looked here suspiciously several times.
In the end, the porcelain bowl was taken down at a price of 3.6 million.
The group didn't know Zhou Tian, and Liu Shun also felt that he was angry, but how could the people who came here have fuel-efficient lamps.
Immediately, the last item to be auctioned was taken out by Liu Dana and placed on the table.
He didn't speak, just lit things up.
Suddenly, Zhou Tian's eyes lit up.
On the platform, a statue of Jade Guanyin is no more than 30 centimeters high.
Zhou Tian only knew that there was a statue of Jade Guanyin from the Ming Dynasty in the Imperial City Museum in Kyoto, and there were often among the people, but most of them were fakes.
The Jade Guanyin statues of the Tang Dynasty are the most common, but most of them are also collected.
The one in front of you, according to Liu Dana's current explanation, is also from the Ming Dynasty, this is simply a priceless treasure!
This statue of Guanyin has a smooth and flawless texture, with drooping eyes, a straight nose and a small mouth, a high bun, a headmantle, a open chest, a long dress and a long skirt, and wide fat sleeves.
The left finger rests on the right wrist, the right hand holds the rosary, the skirt corners are exposed, and the statue stands upright.
It seems that the whole statue is shiny and moist, which makes people feel peaceful.
Coupled with the rich halo surrounding, it is like Guanyin in a fairyland, and it is peaceful Pudu sentient beings.
Great stuff!
Zhou Tian was also attracted by this jade Guanyin, and looked at it without blinking.
It was quiet in the yurt for a while!
"This Jade Guanyin, the shape is complete, the market value is difficult to estimate, now the starting price is 10 million, and the price is 1 million each time!" Liu Dana's voice broke the silence.
There was another discussion in the yurt, and everyone was discussing whether to take the statue.
That's the good thing about underground auctions, and you might be able to find something good.
After waiting for a while, people began to bid.
It's just that the process of bidding is relatively slow, after all, the price is here!
This is also the last lot of the day, and certainly the most expensive.
"I'll give fifty million!" a voice rang out abruptly, and everyone looked back to find the source of the sound.
Zhou Tian also looked over, it was the Huo family, the person who went up to look at the objects before, stood up and looked at the others triumphantly.
"I said, we're going to give fifty million!" he said.
Everyone was stunned by the price that this person said, although the price was slow, it also reached more than 20 million, and many people still planned to reach 30 million and then couldn't shoot it, so they needed to call back for instructions.
Unexpectedly, the Huo family, who came to participate for the first time, suddenly raised the price to 50 million, how can this be followed?
Several people from the Tao family frowned a little when they saw such a scene, this Jade Guanyin was brought by them, but they didn't expect to meet someone from the Huo family here.
After all, Liu Dana has seen a big scene, after listening to the price offered by the Huo family, he just smiled slightly, as long as it is something that is auctioned out of their hands, the buyer does not ask the seller, and the seller will not ask the buyer, and then the two parties settle the accounts by themselves, each goes his own way, and each goes back to his own home!
"Fifty million once, is there any more?" Liu Dana asked, no one spoke for a long time, and he said again: "Fifty million twice!"
"Master, is this Jade Guanyin really worth so much money?" Zhou Tian asked Liu Shun secretly.
Liu Shun turned his head slightly and said to Zhou Tian: "The value is invaluable, it is difficult to estimate!"
"Can I buy it?" asked Zhou Tian.
Liu Shun glanced at Zhou Tian with some surprise, "If you want to buy it, you can afford it!"
Zhou Tian got Liu Shun's consent, so he raised his hand, "I'll give five thousand and one million!"
Everyone's eyes focused on Zhou Tian again in an instant, which made him a little unaccustomed for a while.
The Huo family didn't expect that someone would rob them at this price, and they couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
"Fifty-five million!" The Huo family continued to bid to see which posture it was, it was bound to win.
"Sixty million!" Zhou Tian continued, isn't it better than rich?
"You!" The Huo family was so angry that he wanted to come over to find Zhou Tian, but he was stopped by his leader.
"Sixty million once! There are still no bids?" Liu Dana said, seeing that no one answered, "Sixty million twice! Is there any? Okay, sixty million three times! Congratulations!"
Zhou Tian smiled, the corners of Liu Shun's mouth couldn't help but show a meaningful smile, the Tao family seemed to be relieved, only the Huo family looked at Zhou Tian angrily.
Zhou Tianxin said: Isn't the auction just the one with the highest price? What is there to be unconvinced? If you have the ability, you can raise the price again!
I couldn't smile in my heart, but my face was still calm.
Those around who didn't know Zhou Tian all had such expressions on their faces after learning that they were the apprentices of the Buddha.
Zhou Tian, who was happy in his heart, didn't care what other people thought now, he just wondered where to put this Guanyin statue when he went back.
In fact, he doesn't believe in Buddhism, but he is very comfortable looking at this jade Guanyin, and the whole person is a little lazy!
