Volume 1 Chapter 28 The Ivory Carved Golden Catfish

"The daughter of the Zhen family, how about this?"

After taking out the Hetian jade seal of the material, He Dong said with a smile: "This seal is simple and generous, there is no carving, let alone decoration, and now it can be used as both an official seal and a private seal." Make an official seal. In terms of the material of this Hetian jade, you only need to engrave your name to make an official seal, and the grade is not bad. If you want to make a private seal, find a master with exquisite carving skills, carve a pattern that complements each other, and engrave your name on it, you can make a private seal, do a private seal, and the appearance will look more exquisite and beautiful. The condition will also be better, and of course, the value of connoisseurship will be higher. It's up to you. ”

"Professor Feng and I both have seals made from collectible materials. I won't appreciate this one. If any of you like it, take a good look at it, and if you really want it, take it. Today is a private antique appreciation exchange meeting, all of them are insiders, and the price is a friendly price for Mr. He. ”

Qin Liang said with a smile.

"Uncle. I still have the seal you gave me. I still have a collection. ”

Qin Bing knew that this seal was indeed very beautiful, and the material was also excellent, but he had one, and he didn't have so much spare money to take it out and buy another one.

"I bought it from Yan Jewellery before. I'm still at home. Not anymore. ”

Feng Kui refused, this price is not cheap, the top Hetian jade material, in terms of this material, is the best material, almost one gram can be sold for 20,000, and the weight of this seal is estimated to be 5 million.

"Don't be a kid from the Qin family. Ma Fatzi, you don't make a move, the daughter of the Zhen family, you are worth a lot of money, you are in the jewelry business, you are not bad for this kind of good material, you definitely don't want it. ”

He Dong saw that he had no intention of starting, and he was not disappointed, so he had to shift his gaze, look at Tang Hao, and said with a smile: "Little brother." For the first time, I came to participate in a private appreciation exchange meeting. Just buy it. ”

"How much are you going to sell?"

After receiving He Dong's Hetian jade seal from Qin Bing, Tang Hao carefully appreciated it. After a long time, I saw the response to He Dong.

"According to the market price, it can be sold for five million. I'll give you a friendship price, three million. You're going to get it. I'm out. ”

He Dong groaned slightly, and directly gave a six-fold discount, this discount is not unreal, full of sincerity, it can be said to be a meat sale, after all, according to the current price of the material, it is easy to sell it for five million.

"The price of three million is indeed a friendly price. However, Mr. He, it is appropriate for this seal to be sold at this price, but it cannot be sold as a sub-material of Hetian jade. ”

Tang Hao said with a smile after appreciating it.

As soon as Tang Hao finished speaking, in addition to Qin Bing and Zhen Yuexuan's surprise, to Tang Hao's surprise, He Dong not only did not have the slightest shock, but showed an expression of appreciation for him, which made Tang Hao very surprised, as for Qin Liang and Professor Feng, they just smiled and nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Brother Tang, do you see that?"

The appreciation in He Dong's eyes became more and more intense.

"Hmm. I used to appreciate the sub-material of Hetian jade. The material of Hetian jade has a very obvious characteristic, that is, the texture is tight and the body is smooth, but the oil wax is not so prominent. This material meets all the characteristics of Hetian jade material. But there is one thing that is very different, that is, the oil wax is very good, not generally good, it is very good, if you don't pay attention to this, it is easy to mistake this material for Hetian jade material,"

Tang Hao said.

After his words were finished, He Dong couldn't help but applaud Tang Hao, admired his face, and said: "Brother Tang, sure enough, Qin Liang said that Qin Bing, this kid, was almost deceived by Ma Liansheng with a spliced old man on the river fake [Frost Sky Red Leaves]. Thanks to your reminder, I didn't get hit, I didn't believe it yet, but now it seems that I did. Qin Bing privately said that you are Tang Yiyan, it is not an exaggeration, you appreciate it once, and you can see the doorway. ”

Seeing that He Dong was so excited and praised without hesitation, Tang Hao was a little confused.

"When Ma Liansheng was looking for the Xie family girl to take over, he had found Mr. He before, Mr. He not only likes jewelry and jade, but also likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, of course, it will become his goal, Mr. He did not fall into the pit at that time, not because of how clever his appreciation ability is, but because when he was about to buy it, the batch of wool rough stones shipped back from Myanmar had a problem and flew to Myanmar overnight. didn't fall into the pit, and when he came back, the news that Ma Liansheng was looking for Shiqing's girl to take over spread, and Mr. He knew that the [Frost Sky Red Leaves] was fake, but he didn't believe in Tang Hao's strength. has to be elegant, so he took out Maozi's material to test Tang Hao. ”

Seeing that Tang Hao was puzzled, Qin Bing and Zhen Yuexuan were also confused, Qin Liang opened his mouth to explain at this time.

"Why didn't I see it?"

Qin Bing was speechless, picked it up, and began to appreciate and play again.

"What are you not looking for? You don't even see it. ”

Professor Feng smiled and said, "In order to test Xiao Tang." Mr. He also tried his best. This Maozi material, and Hetian jade material, the same as the Hetian jade material, the subtle difference is very small, Tang Hao said can only be identified from the oil wax, it is true, ignoring this, it is not surprising that it is regarded as Hetian jade material, but if it is sold at the price of Hetian jade, it will cost a lot of money. ”

Zhen Yuexuan took it in her hand, and after playing with it carefully, she was also a little surprised, it was too much like Hetian Yuzi material.

"Brother Tang. Qin Bing said that you are Tang Yanyan, worthy of your name. This seal made of wool is just a gift from my old man to you. I've sent you. ”

He Dong said.

Ma Fatzi heard on the side that he was going to give it to Tang Hao, that envy, this is obviously to befriend Tang Hao.

"Mr. He. Although this material is not the sub-material of Hetian jade, but the material is also a good Maozi sub-material, although the price can not be compared with the sub-material of Hetian jade, but it is not expensive, the so-called reactive power is not lu, I can't want. ”

Tang Hao likes this seal very much, but accepting things for no reason is not Tang Hao's style, this gift is too expensive.

"Brother Tang. Don't shirk. I am the one who opens jewelry and jade, and your eye strength is rare in the jewelry and jade industry. Maybe I can help my brother in the future. Even if you can't help, it's nothing, if you say I'll send you, you can't slap my brother in the face. ”

He Dong pushed back and insisted on sending Tang Hao.

"Don Jr. Take it. Mr. He is rich and generous, and the plucking hair is thicker than you, since he wants to cut the meat and hand you well, don't be polite. Don't be in vain. ”

Professor Feng was very satisfied with Tang Hao's performance, and it was in vain that he and Qin Liang praised Tang Hao in private, and this time Tang Hao did not disappoint them.

"Then I'll take it. ”

Tang Hao accepted it when he saw that he couldn't excuse himself, of course, if there was a suitable opportunity, Tang Hao would definitely want to return it, just because others admired him, he gave millions of things to himself, although the other party was rich and really rich, but there was no reason to accept it calmly.

"I know a master carver who is very skilled in carving. If you want to use it as a private seal. I introduce it to you. ”

Zhen Yuexuan said with a smile.

"Good. ”

Tang Hao said.

When it was Qin Liang's turn, Qin Liang took out the treasure of this exchange, which was a ivory carved golden catfish, with a head and tail like a dragon and a body like a tortoise.

The style of this ivory carving golden catfish is more solemn and simple, the lines are thick and powerful, the knife work is deep and hard, and compared with the soft and delicate of the Qing Dynasty, there is a strong contrast, and from the details, there are obvious differences.

This ivory carved golden catfish has an obvious feature, that is, the eyes are prominent, the mouth is pouted, and the side is heavy, which is obviously different from the frontal golden catfish of the Qing Dynasty.

"It's beautiful. The knife work of this carving is really calm and atmospheric, thick and solemn. ”

Professor Feng is an expert, as soon as he started it, he knew that it was a good thing, and after carefully appreciating and playing with it, he said to Qin Liang: "Where did you get such a good treasure?" ”

The treasure that Qin Liang exchanged is naturally different from the tooth carving pen holder that Ma Kui took out before, and it is far from being comparable to the tooth carving pen holder.

"Brother Qin is amazing, he got such a good baby. ”

Ma Kui said enviously.

"Don't be envious. It's just a matter of luck. ”

Qin Liang said and said to Professor Feng, "This is the goods. Got it by chance. Professor Feng. I like this stuff so much, but I don't sell it, it's just for communication. ”

When Professor Feng heard this, he was so angry, he snorted, and said, "It's obviously to show off, but what kind of communication is really infuriating." This ivory carved golden catfish. I really like it. This carving, this solemnity, in the Qing Dynasty can not find such a good ivory carving work. Really not for sale?"

"Not for sale. ”

Qin Liang shook his head with a smile and said, "Professor Feng." Don't do it alone. Say yes to the exchange. Let the juniors also appreciate and play. It's a good thing, it's rare. ”

Although Professor Feng was happy to see the hunt and wanted to get it, he regretted that the owner would not sell it.

"Brother Tang. You talk to everybody. I didn't understand much of what Professor Feng said. Which dynasty is this?"

He Dongdao.

He is an expert in jewelry and jade, but he is not very familiar with miscellaneous items, and he does not know as much about ivory carving as he does about jewelry and jade.

"Then I'll tell you about it. ”

Tang Hao saw that everyone was looking at him, and Zhen Yuexuan also made a listening appearance, and said with a smile: "The ivory carving dragon pattern of the Ming Dynasty has an obvious feature, which is the same as the jade stone carving, that is, the eyes are protruding and the mouth is pouting. And the dragon pattern is mostly on the side. It is very different from the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, this ivory carved golden catfish, from its dragon pattern characteristics, it can be seen that it is not from the Qing Dynasty, but in line with the characteristics of the ivory carving dragon pattern in the Ming Dynasty. ”

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he paused, and said: "This is talking about the difference in the dragon pattern of the Ming Dynasty, I will say more, taking the characters of the Ming and Qing dynasties as an example, in the character carving, there is also a considerable gap between the two, each with the characteristics of the times, the ivory carving characters of the Ming Dynasty, the carving workers are relatively simple, and the face shape is relatively large."

The ivory carving figures of the Qing Dynasty are more delicate compared with it, showing the face shape of melon seeds, and the ivory carving and wood carving of the Ming Dynasty are all beautiful lines, and the shape of the utensils can be expressed with a few simple strokes, full of simple texture and beauty and heaviness, which is very different from the complexity of the Qing Dynasty. This can also be seen on the ivory carved golden catfish. ”
