Chapter 967: Longquan Official Kiln Porcelain
Not to mention the starting price of only 10 yuan and 20 yuan for a lot, and the key price increase is only so much, it is conceivable what kind of goods the lot is. Of course, Meng Zitao was not interested.
However, the starting price is low, which makes other guests have the desire to participate in the auction, even if the transaction price is relatively high, but it satisfies the interest of the participants, and the things here are indeed cheap and beautiful, Meng Zitao found that from the start of the auction to the present, there is no loss, which undoubtedly improves the enthusiasm of the participants.
In addition, the most diligent ups and downs of the number plate on the scene is Lao Xiao, in addition to the inaccurate lots, he has to insert a foot, and finally becomes a professional account, so that the auctioneer must look at Lao Xiao before every fall.
As time passed, more than 200 lots passed, and finally a lot that Meng Zitao was interested in finally came, which was a Yaozhou kiln-carved flower rhombic bowl.
This bowl is sharp, chic, and deep. The pattern is clear, the shades are alternate, and the pattern is slightly convex, which has a good visual effect. The bowl is the heyday of the Yaozhou kiln, representing the level of celadon firing in the Yaozhou kiln.
"How about this bowl?" asked Lao Xiao in Meng Zitao's ear.
"Yes, I want it. Meng Zitao said with a smile.
Lao Xiao smiled: "I thought you wouldn't raise your cards in the end, so let it be given to you." ”
The starting price of this piece of porcelain was as low as before, and it was finally purchased by Meng Zitao for two hundred and eighty US dollars, which was a small leak.
Next is a Guanyin bottle, Meng Zitao whispered to Lao Xiao: "This Guanyin bottle is wide open." ”
Lao Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his cards to participate, and after a few rounds, it was Lao Xiao's highest price.
The auctioneer smiled: "Sir, I think good things should be shared by everyone, please pay attention to them next time." ”
In fact, the auctioneer said that it is not acceptable, up to now, there are more than 50 things that Lao Xiao has auctioned, and everyone has seen Lao Xiao participate, and some even give up shouting, which is obviously not in the interests of the auctioneer.
When the auctioneer said this, Lao Xiao's face showed a little smugness, but he thought that he had auctioned so many things, so he thought it would be better to stop first.
So, in the next auction, unless it was some particularly interesting utensils, Lao Xiao stopped shooting, and the scene was more lively.
After the auction arrived, it can be said that the crowd was so lively that even the order of the auction was affected, and the more it came to the end, the more the auction had some improvised flavor.
Suddenly, an antique dealer appeared with a piece of porcelain on the spot, and he first communicated with the organizers, and then took the things to the stage and asked the auctioneer to help with the auction.
The auctioneer looked out of the room, and when he saw that there was no objection, he asked, "What is this?"
"Ming Dynasty Longquan kiln small pot. ”
"Okay, a small pot of Longquan kiln in the Ming Dynasty!"
The auctioneer did not make much introduction, and directly gave the starting price of 50 yuan, which is not low in the whole auction.
The antique dealer walked around the stage a few times with the jar, which was considered an exhibition, but no one responded.
"Fifty dollars for the last time, is there anyone else?" the auctioneer exclaimed.
"Twenty yuan!" Lao Xiao smiled and raised his card, he just wanted to join in the fun.
The antique dealer was a little helpless, but finally agreed to the price.
"Okay! Deal! What is the number of this item?"
"What number?" the antique dealer was a little dumbfounded, he forgot to register his number for the auction, but now that the registry office was busy, how could he have time to help him register.
The antique dealer was anxious, and walked directly to Lao Xiao, wanting to trade. But for Lao Xiao, he just wanted to have a good time, and now that he is so troublesome, he doesn't want it.
At this time, Mencius noticed this small jar, which was well-proportioned, dignified and elegant. The circle foot of the jar is relatively wide and thick, the bottom of the jar is coated with red glaze, the underglaze pattern is exquisite, the carving is delicate and skillful, the cloud pattern on the shoulder of the outer wall is stretched, the chrysanthemum petal pattern on the lower abdomen is slender and straight, and the abdomen is densely covered with entwined lotus patterns. The whole body is glazed with green glaze, the glaze is verdant and thick, and the glaze has ice cracks.
Judging from his experience, this is clearly a piece of Longquan kiln official kiln porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty!
Longquan kiln is a famous celadon kiln in the Song and Yuan dynasties. Due to the lack of archaeological data, people have not had sufficient understanding of Longquan kiln for a long time, and have always believed that it is only a folk kiln.
Until a few years ago, with the discovery of the official kiln ruins of Longquan kiln that produced porcelain for the court in the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, the academic and collecting circles began to devote their energy and attention to the production history and technological achievements of the Longquan kiln celadon in the Ming Dynasty, and screened out the Longquan kiln celadon belonging to the official kiln in the early Ming Dynasty from the public and private collections at home and abroad. The Longquan official kiln was confirmed.
But now it is not easy to find a Longquan official kiln, and Meng Zitao has no chance to encounter it, but he didn't expect to meet one here, not to mention, or to pick up the leakage price.
So, Meng Zitao said, "Is it okay to transfer this jar to me?"
"It has to be auctioned. The auctioneer said.
"Then I'll add ten dollars, thirty. Meng Zitao said.
"The starting price is fifty. ”
"That's fifty dollars. ”
"Okay. ”
"What is your number?" the auctioneer asked Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao raised the sign in his hand.
"What about you?" asked the auctioneer.
This made the antique dealer a little distressed, and Meng Zitao had an idea and said in English: "No. 000." ”
"Good. The auctioneer smiled at Meng Zitao and praised his wit.
So, at an ultra-low price of fifty US dollars, Meng Zitao bought a piece of Longquan official kiln porcelain worth four or five million in the early Ming Dynasty.
The auction continued, and when there was still more than half an hour before the specified time, more than 500 lots were almost auctioned, and a few of them were added temporarily, and I have to say that the auctioneer was quite efficient.
Towards the end, Meng Zitao felt that there should be nothing he thought of, but he didn't expect that a Qing Qianlong pastel dragon pattern elephant ear lone suddenly appeared.
With the appearance of this porcelain, the president of the Antique Association and others also came to the stage and said that this porcelain was a genuine official kiln.
The scene suddenly boiled, the popularity of the Qing Dynasty three dynasties official kiln porcelain in the market needless to say, if this porcelain is genuine, it is worth at least more than 300,000 US dollars.
So, Lao Xiao stood up excitedly, wanting to come forward to see the style of the lot, not only him, but everyone else also had this idea.
The president of the association arranged for everyone to come to the stage one by one to appreciate, and soon it was Meng Zitao's turn.
"Sure enough!" Meng Zitao glanced at the owner and returned to his seat.
