Chapter 188 Monk's Hat Pot

In Jia Yidao's mind, the appearance of a relatively thin, but very energetic man suddenly appeared. It's not that Mr. Cai Ming is famous. It is said that interlacing is like a mountain, which still makes some sense, even in today's society, if you don't pay attention to antiques, when you talk about antiques, you just think it's an old thing, or think of a museum or something.

However, if Jia Nidao wants to enter this industry, he will inevitably have an understanding of some people who often appear in major auction houses, or what are the large auction houses, antique trading markets, etc., in advance.

Of course, for those who are new to a certain industry, the most attractive thing is the records created by some people in the industry. Far aside, in recent years, Jia Rudao has still paid a lot of attention.

For example, in 2005, the 'Guiguzi Descending Mountain' Yuan blue and white jar was sold at Christie's in London for 156.88 million British dollars, equivalent to 2.3 billion yuan, setting a new high for Chinese art auction prices. Such an example is probably familiar to anyone who has some love for antiques, right?

Jia Yidao remembers very clearly that the price of 156.88 million pounds, in terms of the market gold price of the day, can just be exchanged for a whole ton of gold!

A meal of gold, such a shocking fact, can be imagined wealth, and nothing will make everyone who knows it remember it vividly.

And other than that?

The line of antiques is not just the same as Yuan Qinghua. Even on the same type of porcelain, there are all kinds of records. What pastels, buckets, etc., count. Jia Yidao can't remember it completely, but a few of them are also quite shocking records, and they can still be imprinted in my mind.

That's why when Liu Yufei mentioned the name 'Cai Ming', the expression on Jia Yidao's face was extremely exciting, a little stunned, a little excited, a little admired.

Liu Yufei already knew. Jia Dao should understand what he meant. Present. And no more to say. As for patting Jia Rudao's shoulder, his hand did not take it back. The two of them walked in front of each other shoulder to shoulder. I didn't know that I was followed by Li Shiyun and Xia Yi. Looking at these two people, they will think something in their hearts that they shouldn't think. ……

At this time, Jia Rudao had thoughts in his mind. But it has been followed by the name 'Cai Ming'. Drifted away.

Just in 2005. Yuan blue and white jar created a shocking miracle after a year. That is, on the 17th of 2006. Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, local land in China. Cai Ming is the bidder of No. 353 in the special auction of "Buddha's Light Shines - Important Gilt Bronze Buddha in the Early Ming Dynasty". At a 'sky-high price' of 11.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, the peerless bronze Buddha 'Ming Yongle gilt bronze Sakyamuni seated statue' was successfully auctioned. It has set a record for the highest auction of Chinese Buddha statues in the world so far. At the same time, it ended the history of the Bronze Buddha floating overseas for many years.

Such a feat. For antique collectors, nothing is exciting. Far better than a foreigner. Accepting a 'sky-high' Diyuan blue and white is something to remember, right?

Hold back the shock in your heart. Jia Rudao followed Liu Yufei into his collection room.

In fact. That is, the basement of the villa. As for. Why did Liu Yufei arrange the unraveling jade rough stone studio on the first floor. And arrange the collection room in the basement. When Jia Rudao arrived, he saw that there were many varieties. And. High quality. The craftsmanship of the Jedi Jasper Collection. The answer is already blurted out.

The entire basement was not divided into two rooms like in Jia Yidao's house, it was completely a whole.

Moreover, in terms of space, it is also slightly larger than Jia Nidao expected, and Jia Nidao pondered in his heart that it should be the feeling that the entire villa should be used underground.

On the four walls, it has been decorated into countless independent closets, on which are naturally placed jasper collections. In the central position, there are many pier-like settings, separated by a certain distance from each other, criss-crossed, mostly made of glass. Directly above, there will be some large jasper carvings, and in the small lattice below, there are some gadgets scattered together.

Moreover, in order to prevent the jasper ornaments from inadvertently bumping into them, those large pieces of utensils, placed directly above the pier, will have some transparent silk threads, which are firmly tied to the base.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire basement is a museum of jasper collections.

Jia Rudao finally understood how spectacular Liu Yufei's collection of thousands of pieces was as he said.

Not to mention the little envy in my heart, just because Liu Yufei's age can find so many jasper ornaments, it is enough to show that Liu Yufei loves jasper things. No wonder when Ms. Xia Yi came to persuade him to take out one or two of them to the auction house, Liu Yufei was so reluctant.

However, for Liu Yufei's reluctance, Jia Yidao felt a little gloating, looking at Liu Yufei at this time, he also smiled faintly and said nothing, without the slightest intention of wanting to defend Liu Yufei. In particular, as soon as Xia Yi entered the collection room, she went straight to her target collection. Jia Rudao was even more willing to stand aside and watch the excitement.

On the contrary, it was Li Shiyun, who looked at Jia Yidao's smiling expression at this time, although she was surprised by Liu Yufei's collection, she didn't write this surprise on her face, and together with Jia Rudao, she casually admired the jasper ornaments on the place.

Speaking of which, the shape of jasper ornaments and jadeite products have a lot in common.

For example, in the collection room, there are a lot of jasper pendants, such as Guanyin statues, Maitreya Buddhas, etc., and the number is still relatively large. As for animal shapes, such as monkeys stealing peaches, double bats holding longevity, etc., are also very common. Of course, there are some strange forms that Jia Yidao and Li Shiyun have never seen, but they have made the two of them gain a lot of knowledge. Jia Rudao was still thinking in his heart, take a look at it at this time, take a look, maybe he can steal some ideas when making jadeite in the future.

It's just that what calmed down the shock in Jia Yidao's heart a little more is that Liu Yufei's collection is special

Jasper ornaments, but the number is not much. For example, there are a few jasper collections on the second floor of 'Zhou Ji', although there are also those of that level, but compared to the overall number of thousands of pieces, they are relatively rare.

In particular, there may still be many defects in the texture or craftsmanship of the tubes of those large jasper ornaments.

Thinking that Liu Yufei could make a phone call for his piece of jasper, Guanyin Jade Peishi, and even came all the way to Linhai, the corners of Jia Yidao's mouth spread with a smile. It seems that Fei's collection is still a little different from Jia Rudao's concept.

Jia Rudao is ready to take the route of boutique, and he doesn't feel that he should win by quantity. But Liu Yufei is out of love for such a variety of jasper. Anything related to jasper, as long as there is a chance, I'm afraid Liu Yufei will try to accept it, right?

And this time, it is naturally not those gadgets that can be looked at by Xia Yi, it should be taken from Liu Yufei's few boutique collections. Jia Yidao saw Liu Yufei and Xia Yi surrounding a glass pier, carefully looking at an ornament, and looked back at Li Shiyun, she was still looking at many jasper finished shapes intentionally or unintentionally, walked to her side, and shouted softly: "Sister Li." ”

Seeing Li Shiyun's confused gaze, Jia Rudao did not hesitate, took her soft hand, and walked towards Liu Yufei, saying as he walked: "The things here are all jasper, we look at it, and we don't understand it too much, so it's better to ask Brother Liu to introduce us for free." ”

Of course, having said that, holding Li Yun's hand, what he thought in his heart, only Jia Yidao himself knew.

Li Shiyun was silent and spoke, and Jia Nidao didn't notice that in her eyes, when she looked at Jia Nidao's silhouette, she burst into a look. As long as she doesn't object, she will withdraw her hand if she doesn't do it, and Jia Rudao feels very relieved.

Moreover, this kind of situation that pulls her away is also very easy to make the relationship between the two people delicate again.

If at this time, Jia Dao still doesn't understand Li Shiyun's feelings for him, it would be too stupid. Besides, if Li Shiyun mentioned the age problem, Jia Rudao didn't think about it at all. The key lies in the attitude of Jia Yidao and Li Shiyun.

Therefore, it seems to be very fast, but in fact, the two of them walked to Liu Yufei's side together.

"Brother, you have a lot of collections here. However, it is quite well organized. Jia Rudao opened his mouth and said jokingly, "When I go back, I wonder if I should also decorate it according to the decorations here?"

"Alright, Xiao Jia, don't make fun of me. Liu Yufei said angrily, "There are a lot of things, but there are few of them." ”

"Mr. Liu, what you said is not right. I see that many of your collections here are of the highest grade. It's like this monk's hat pot in front of you,......" Ms. Xia Yi said.

However, it was good that she didn't mention the monk's hat pot in front of her, and when she mentioned it, the expression on Liu Yufei's face became even more bitter, and she couldn't help but quickly stuff it back: "This one is pretty good, but can you keep it here?"

Xia Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Jia Rudao looked at the expressions of the two of them, and turned his head to look at the key point of their conversation: the monk's hat pot. Looking at the style, Jia Rudao didn't understand it very well. I just think that this name is quite vivid. Moreover, in the past, Liu Yufei mentioned this thing, and deliberately used this thing as an analogy. To this day, Jia Rudao still remembers the complete name: "This is the Qing Qianlong jasper relief beast button flower dark eight-treasure pattern monk hat pot?

You know, everything in antiques has a provenance.

Since Liu Yufei can show off the things on his lips, it is naturally one of his more proud collections. How can there be no story?

Liu Yufei glanced at Xia Yi and motioned for her to come. Ms. Xia Yi did not refuse, and said: "This jasper is produced in Xinjiang, and it is nicknamed spinach green and bronze green. Just look at the color and you can understand it. Seeing Jia Rudao nodded, he continued, "In the middle and late Qianlong period, Qianlong issued a special order to make a batch of antique things. Look at its craftsmanship, it is very fine, there are eight treasure patterns, lotus patterns, it should be used when worshipping the Buddha, used to hold water utensils. Because in the middle and late Qianlong period, the etiquette of Buddhism was particularly worshipped, so such a special one was made. As for the way of carving, there are carvings and reliefs. The whole monk's hat pot is more exquisite. The only flaw is that in the process of circulation, in this place, it was bumped and left some traces. There may be a significant loss of value. ”

Ms. Xia Yi said while gesturing at the monk's hat pot. It's clear.

"As for where Mr. Liu received it, I don't know if I got this. In the end, Xia Yi was still quite interesting, so she said so.

"I bartered with a friend, and I exchanged it. Liu Yufei also explained very happily, but judging from the look on his face looking at Xia Yi, he was probably muttering in his heart: I thought you knew everything.

It's just that things that can be on the auction house, especially in China, are still more particular. At this point, Liu Yufei is not easy to talk nonsense.

Next, Jia Rudao played with his hands for a while, and deliberately used his ability to perceive it, it seems that in terms of material, it is difficult to distinguish its familiarity from the Guanyin jade pendant on his chest. Moreover, what made Jia Yidao especially emotional was that when he perceived Jasper, the scene in his mind seemed to be full of vicissitudes.

I also know whether Jia Yidao's own subjective consciousness is happy, or the perception of abnormal abilities, and I can faintly distinguish some sense of age. Jia Rudao faintly felt that this feeling was very mysterious. After all, when I was preparing to use my ability to detect it in advance, I had already determined in my heart that the monk's hat pot was something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is also reasonable to create a sense of vicissitudes.
