Volume 1, Chapter 351 of the Third-Rate Agent's Antique Porcelain

Next chapter

Private auctions, so there are not many rules, and after the auctioneer came to the stage to explain the rules, he started directly.

The staff puts the auction items on the table, projects the items, introduces them by the auctioneer, presents the relevant materials and certificates, and then begins to announce the bidding.

The first batch of items to be auctioned is not antiques, but a batch of limited-edition luxury products, such as designer bags, watches, jewelry, jewelry, and so on.

Ivan invited all the rich to gather in the name of a charity auction, so that at the beginning, basically everyone would auction a few items, which was considered a big deal.

These items in the opening scene were basically swept away. In addition to cheering for Ivan, these limited-edition luxury goods also have collectible value, and they don't suffer a loss when they are photographed.

Li Shixun also shot a few times, in addition to taking a few limited edition designer bags for Sika, he also took a pocket watch with collectible value for himself.

The atmosphere at the opening was good, after all, people who came to the auction dinner would bring their female companions with them, and the opening lots were very pleasing to them.

After the opening of the first lots, half an hour passed before I knew it, and Ivan gave everyone a ten-minute rest, after which the auction immediately began.

This time it was Sotheby's that batch of antiques commissioned, the auctioneer lifted the red cloth on the table, and a set of porcelain appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The first item that started the auction was the antique porcelain of the Tian Dynasty, which made Li Qingyuan interested, and he sat up straight inadvertently and listened carefully to the auctioneer's words.

To his surprise, the antique porcelain on the stage was not the blue and white porcelain or teacup he thought, but three complete sets of rabbit cups.

As for antiques, he was blind and had no idea what the value of the three black bowls on the stage was. It was the first time I heard the name Rabbit Milli.

Searching the Internet with his mobile phone, he realized that this rabbit has a great origin and is also very famous. Rabbit Hair Jar is a special kind of black glazed porcelain, which is most famous for being fired in a kiln in Shuiji Town, Jianyang County.

Black glazed porcelain was extremely popular in the Song Dynasty, which was related to the tea drinking ethos of the time.

Song Dynasty tea leaves were made into semi-fermented paste cakes, which were crushed into fine powder and put into tea bowls before drinking. When the water is then boiled, a layer of white foam boils on the surface of the water.

In the Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the literati, they all loved "tea fighting", that is, to evaluate the quality of tea.

In recent years, with the popularity of collections, Song porcelain has been sought after by many people, and the rabbit has gradually gained a market. According to the auctioneer on the stage, these are three rare and similar [Golden Milli Cups], which have Sotheby's appraisal and confirm that they are genuine.

And this set of black glazed porcelain. The starting price reached a staggering $1 million, which made Li Shixun smack. In the past, I always heard about how valuable antiques were, and I thought they were deliberately exaggerated, but now I am a little surprised to participate in them.

He doesn't know anything about antiques, but after all, this set is a fine product in the black glazed porcelain of the Song Dynasty, and it can't fall into the hands of outsiders, so he wants to bid for it.

It's just that. Someone is quicker than him!

"One and a half million!" Mitsui raised his hand to bid.

Li Shixun's heart moved, before Mitsui Ayako said that he came to participate in the auction for antiques. Could it be that this set of Song porcelain is one of her purposes?

"One million and eight million!" Li Shixun raised his hand to bid, he wanted to see how determined the people of the Mitsui family were.

"Damn, it's this kid again!" Mitsui Toshiyoshi heard Li Shixun's shout, and scolded in a low voice with an ugly face.

Mitsui Ayako looked at him with a slight frown, "Come out with some grace, Junyi." You must always remember that your words and deeds outside will affect outsiders' perception of the family, representing the face of the family, and don't lose your weight. ”

"Yes, I see!" Mitsui Toshiyoshi said with a gloomy face. glanced at Miki Kawashima, who was expressionless beside him, and then bid again: "Two million!"

The auctioneer on the stage was happy, this set of porcelain, in fact, reached the top of one million. The reason why I took it out was also to test everyone's reaction, after all, there are mostly rich people from the West here, and items from ancient Eastern countries are not very popular.

It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as I took it out, someone bid, which made the auctioneer gradually excited.

The reason why Sotheby's took out these antiques is actually to make a name for themselves, after all, all the people here are top rich, even if one is auctioned out, it will be earned.

Now, the auctioneer is confident enough that the next auction will be extremely smooth.

Because, every antique that follows is a rare boutique.

"Two million three thousand!" Li Shixun doesn't care about this, he recently got a windfall, and it was the time to be proud, so he didn't have any scruples at all, and directly added 300,000.

"Two million three hundred thousand, this gentleman bid two million three hundred thousand, and no one else ......"

"Two and a half million!" Mitsui Toshiyoshi added another 200,000.

"Okay, this gentleman on the left bids, two and a half million, two and a half million, has anyone raised the price, I am asking, two and a half million, has anyone else bid?"

"Two and a half million, deal! Congratulations to this gentleman!"

Congratulations! Mitsui Toshiyoshi listened to the saliva of the auctioneer on the stage, his face turned pale. The moment Li Shixun didn't follow the price increase, he understood that he was yin, and that kid did it on purpose.

not only raised the price, but also made himself a figure of two hundred and five, which made people laugh.

Miki Kawashima on the side had a hidden smile in her eyes, Li Shixun was wilted, she liked it.

After the first item was auctioned, the staff immediately took out the second item.

This is a purple clay pot, the purple clay pot is bullish in the auction market, even Westerners are interested in it, looking at the items on the table with burning eyes, listening to the auctioneer's introduction.

This purple clay pot has exquisite shape, simple lines, and smooth and delicate walls. The most important thing is that the bottom of the purple clay pot has a drop.

According to the auctioneer, this is one of the eighteen types of mirror clay pots in Mansheng.

Kettle Ming: Pick up the water, tile Chengze, the source of the spring, run the Wuji.

The shape of the Mansheng pot is simple and dignified, and the pot style is mainly geometric, which can be divided into four categories:

One is to draw on ancient bronze and Han tiles in the shape of pots, such as "mirror tiles" in the shape of copper mirrors. Drawing on the "stone peach pot" in the shape of copper water hanging, and drawing on the "Feihong Yannian pot", "half-tile pot", "brick square pot" and so on, which are designed by drawing on Han bricks and Han tiles.

The second type is to borrow the shape of the living utensils, such as "Hedou pot", "pillar base pot", "Jinglan pot", "Ji Lia pot", "Tian Hehe pot", "Hehuan pot" and so on.

The third category is the shape of the pot imitation animal and plant form, such as "gourd pot", "gourd pot", "bead pot", "Tianji pot" and so on.

The fourth category is to design the shape of the pot according to the function of the instrument, such as "Guchun pot", "Jizhi pot", "Chunsheng pot" and so on.

Practical function is a major feature of the Mansheng pot, no matter what the shape of the vessel, it can be used to make tea, and the capacity of the teapot, the height of the degree, and the configuration of the mouth handle are very particular.

After Li Shixun had a mobile phone to check the information, he immediately made up his mind to get this purple clay pot in his hands.

Mansheng eighteen style, a pot is hard to find, and now there is a genuine product in front of him, which he should not miss. (To be continued.) )
