Chapter 60 Special Items

According to the auctioneer, it was a glass bottle that could not be determined to be authentic, and according to the appraisal of the appraiser of their auction house, it should be an object from the Qing Dynasty, but I am not too sure.

In particular, he explained that the item was taken by a farmer. His family was in urgent need of 100,000 life-saving money, so the reserve price was set at 100,000, and the price could be increased at will.

In addition, because their appraisers can't confirm that friends who are interested in the scene can come forward to watch and then bid.

"It's a glass bottle, right?" Zhu Rong said.

In his cognition, wasn't the glass of the ancients called glass? In fact, it was the same substance.

Zhao Tianming shook his head with a smile: "It's different, glass is not valuable, and glass is also a work of art." ”

Let's put it this way: The manufacturing method of glass was introduced from abroad, and the glass was made by the ancient Chinese themselves.

It is said that the original material used to make glaze in ancient China was obtained from the by-products produced during the casting of bronzes, and then it was refined and processed to make glaze. There are many colors of glaze, and the ancients also called it "five-color stone". In ancient times, because it was difficult for the people to obtain, people at that time regarded colored glass as even more precious than jade.

Liuli is known as the first of China's five famous vessels, one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, to the Ming Dynasty has been basically lost, only in legends and monster novels recorded.

Therefore, the auctioneer just introduced that the glass bottle on it is an object of the Qing Dynasty, which makes people who know little about the glass question.

At that time, it may be that the formula has been lost, and the fired glass has been very impermeable, so it is called medicinal jade.

However, Zhao Tianming followed some people to watch and found that this glass bottle was not like the medicinal jade of the Ming Dynasty, and the texture was quite transparent.

"Donald is also an expert, you can always give everyone a comment or two!" someone said.

Among the people watching, an old man in a Tang costume was listless, giving people the feeling that he was sick, as if he might leave and return to the West at any time, he was the old Tang in everyone's mouth.

Tang Lao looked at it for a while, waved his hand weakly, and said, "How can my old man have any ability? The appraisers of other auction houses can't confirm it, so I won't be ugly with half a bucket of water. ”

It's okay that he doesn't speak, but when he does, he gasps a little and his face turns even paler.

But those who know this old man are not worried that this old man will suddenly burp. People have been like this for more than ten or twenty years, and they have not been lying in the coffin.

"Tell us a few words!" someone pleaded.

The old man was very enthusiastic, so he had to say a few words that he was more sure of.

"First of all, we can be sure that this must not be water glass. The old man said.

The so-called water glaze, is the common imitation glaze, made of unsaturated resin material, its characteristics are light weight, knock it without the sound of glaze, and over time easy to discolor, turbidity, no collection value, but the price is very low.

"Appreciating glass, we look at the color and shape. Modeling is the trace of each era, different eras, there are different aesthetics, and there are different popular shapes. In terms of shape, it conforms to the cultural trend of the Qing Dynasty. Color is one of the criteria for identifying the advantages and disadvantages of glass, this piece of color is brilliant, from the sensory point of view, is a rare glass bottle. ”

He made a twist: "However, judging from its bubbles, it doesn't seem to be quite in line with the level of glass manufacturing in the Qing Dynasty." ”

The bubbles in the glaze are naturally formed during the calcination of the glazed raw materials, and they are present in every piece. In the eyes of people who love glass, glass is not only a product, but also a living thing, and these bubbles seem to indicate that glass is breathing. And these bubbles also make the glass more expressive, and it can shine dazzlingly under the illumination of the light.

Speaking of this, the old man did not continue. If you continue to talk about it, the auction house may be unhappy.

"Can I take it and take a look?" Zhao Tianming suddenly asked.

The people at the auction house made a gesture of please, but also reminded that they should be taken lightly, and if they are damaged, they will be compensated.

Zhao Tianming took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, the information from the ancient mirror had already made him clear in his heart.

The production process of ancient glaze is quite complicated, the fire comes, the water goes, it takes dozens of processes to complete, the fine production of the ancient glaze, quite time-consuming, some of the light production process will take more than ten or twenty days, and mainly rely on handmade. It is quite difficult to grasp each link, and the difficulty of grasping the heat can be said to be half by skill and half by luck.

In addition, glass is not only a material, but also a cultural product, and more importantly, glass products are unique, no two glass products are exactly the same.

It is precisely in this way that glass is a precious work of art, and glass can never be compared.

After seeing it, everyone returned to their original position, and the auction continued. However, the number of interested people in this glass ware has become very few.

"After everyone reads it, you should also know it, so I won't say much, the auction starts at 100,000, and the price is increased arbitrarily, starting now!" the auctioneer said.

However, the scene was suddenly cold, and no one spoke up.

The auction house people smiled wryly, they expected that this might be the case, and the item was very likely to be unsold.

"Failed auction" refers to the failure of an auction transaction due to a high starting price in an auction.

This situation is not uncommon in auction houses, and many auctions will have one or two items that cause the final transaction to be unsuccessful.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tianming couldn't help but speak: "One hundred thousand!"

Belch!

Just shout a reserve price? Although people say that the price is arbitrarily raised, isn't it not very nice to add zero? How much to add a hundred is good!

"Are you optimistic about that item?" asked Zhu Rong.

Zhao Tianming nodded secretly, the ancient mirror should not go wrong, it is a fine glass bottle, how much it can be worth, he can't say, but it must not be less than 100,000!

"Yes, Mr. Ten has already made a bid, is there anything higher?"

The auctioneer asked twice, and when he saw that the people at the scene were still the old gods, he was indifferent, and he knew that this was the highest. In order to avoid the failure of the auction, he quickly struck the hammer and announced that the auction was successful.

The others laughed secretly: A young man, what kind of collectibles do you know? I guess it's the loser of that family again, right? Spending his own Lao Tzu's money, he doesn't feel distressed at all.

People said that there was a bit of a problem, you have money and nowhere to spend it.

No matter what others thought, Zhao Tianming was secretly happy in his heart that he actually let him pick up the leak in the auction house. When Qi Lao comes back, take it and ask Qi Lao to help take a look.
