Chapter 101 Instrumental Testing
, did you really miss it?" Liu Yufei's face was obviously strange, and he couldn't help asking: "Come, tell me what kind of mystery those two things have, and they are even worthy of your pride." (That tile aside, let's just say that your piece is broken into several pieces and glued back without a good appearance, and you can make a lot of money for this, but you spent 3,000 yuan, I thought you were kind and helpful to other people's old ladies.) ”
"Your mouth is only about making money. Jia Rudao first despised Liu Yufei, and then briefly told Liu Yufei about the purpose of going to Shanghai and what the old lady said, and Liu Yufei was shocked when he heard it. I sighed why I didn't accept a few things at that time?
"Good boy, you've got yours. That's it. It seems that your luck is indeed invincible. I'm coming to Linhai this time, and I'm going to follow you to Henan, so it's really the right one. When he came to ponder the taste, Liu Yufei patted Jia Yidao's shoulder and said happily, "Think about it, with your luck, coupled with my vision and strength, our trip to Henan will definitely be fruitful, right?"
Glancing at Jia Yidao, seeing that the other party seemed to be looking at him with very strange eyes, Liu Yufei couldn't help but smile a little wryly, and said, "That, Brother Jia, in fact, what I just said means that you are still very powerful." It's just that compared to me, it's a little bit inferior. ”
As he spoke, he made a little gesture with the thumb and index finger of his right hand.
Immediately broke Jia Rudaole.
"Okay, with your eyes, if you encounter nephrite or jadeite or something, I can still trust you, if I encounter porcelain, I might as well believe myself. Jia Rudao said angrily.
"Don't say it, if you encounter good porcelain, your vision or something is empty. Even if you are just starting out in the industry, you may not be credible. If you really want to be foolproof, you should spend a sum of money to go to the testing bureau to use advanced instruments to do a systematic identification. The results obtained in this way are scientific, credible, and reassuring. Liu Yufei has his own understanding of porcelain, "Otherwise, even the so-called experts have time to look away." ”
"Scientific identification?" Jia Rudao asked hesitantly, "That costs a lot of money, right?"
Otherwise, the appraisal fee is very cheap and the appraisal is very convenient, then it doesn't matter what the antique market is eye-catching. You must know that porcelain such as Yuan blue and white, or the five famous kilns, naturally has a systematic data in the inspection bureau. As long as you take a piece of porcelain to test, analyze various parameters and indicators, and compare with those standards, you will naturally know whether something is fake.
Of course. Jia seems to be able to discern a part of it by his ability perception. For example, the texture of the fetus and the like. But. Compared to advanced instruments. It's still a lot worse than the ground.
Even so. It also made Jia Rudao in the identification of porcelain. It has a greater advantage than others.
It's just that Jia Yidao hasn't touched too many standards so far. I remembered what the old lady said. I want to play something in the collection line. Just look at it with your own collection. Apparently not enough. I also have to run more museums. See more of the real thing. Look at it over and over again. Especially to get started; Naturally, we still have to run more markets. You can't say that you can't go once and you don't go. On the same market. There are different things all over the world. Learn to watch the market. See more. Listen more. Buy less. It's a qualified hobby.
These words. Looking back on it now. It's like a wake-up call. Ringing in Jia Rudao's heart.
"How much it costs is secondary. Liu Yufei said. "Generally porcelain. You're not going to take it for testing, are you? And once you can get selected, you can take it over there. Those who detect the money. Relative to the value of the porcelain land itself. It doesn't matter. ”
This is also the reason why the antique market is very chaotic now. The water is very deep.
It's not that the state can't detect the authenticity of antiques, but that every antique is tested with an instrument, and the energy and cost spent are really not what ordinary antiques can afford.
"For example, last year, in Chichester, England, when an old man was moving and packing up his belongings, he unexpectedly appeared a genuine moon bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in China, and in the end, it was auctioned for a high price of 760,000 pounds. If it is exchanged for ** people's currency, how much should it be?" Speaking of this, Liu Yufei also pointed to the pile of information on the moon bottle in front of him, which seemed to mean something.
Then, without waiting for Jia Yidao to reply, Liu Yufei continued: "However, I'm afraid you didn't expect that at the beginning
The old man didn't expect how much money the pair of moon bottles could sell, and people didn't know much about the moon bottles. But an independent auctioneer estimated it at just £300 to £400. Even when the auction house experts later identified the vases as 'not the imitations they had been thought to be, but the authenticity of the ancient Chinese Baoyue vase', the auctioneers only started bidding at £5,500.
However, whether it was the old man himself, or the experts and auctioneers, they obviously underestimated the price of the pair of moon bottles, and after the auction began, the price was quickly pushed to more than 350,000 pounds. Eventually, a dealer in London bought the pair for 760,000 English.
Can you say that such a pair of moon bottles, the expert's appraisal is enough to determine its price?"
"How do you know about this? Are you really interested in porcelain?" Jia Rudao didn't care much about the old Englishman in the incident. Don't talk about a lot of such things, there are still similar ones. It's not much else. However, Liu Yufei suddenly became interested in porcelain, which made Jia Yidao pay more attention.
"What's so strange about this, I usually look at some examples of auctions where someone gets rich overnight. Especially this kind of inadvertent sudden rich. I'm going to keep in my mind all their previous actions. Maybe one day, it will be my turn. Liu Yufei said very unashamedly.
"Then do you know the specific performance of the pair of moon bottles?" Jia Rudao asked, "Or why did that old Englishman move? And then you go home, according to those details, all of them are acting, and your wish may really come true." ”
"This ,......" Liu Yufei touched his head, and for a while, he was a little speechless. "The pair of moon bottles seems to have a central pattern of a group of children huddling in the harbor to welcome the dragon boat, and it seems that only one of them is intact, while the bottleneck of the other one has traces of damage and repair. The rest, however, is not very impressive.
In other words, even the old man himself didn't know how this pair of moon bottles came about.
Experts at the auction site suspect that it was taken from the imperial palace in China by Western aggression at the beginning of the last century.
As for the reason for the old man's move, it was naturally because he was sick and needed to move into a nursing home for physiotherapy. Before moving out, tidy up your house and sell some unused items to earn some pocket money. And this pair of moon bottles is one of the many unnecessary 'sundries' sorted out by the old man.
I'm not old yet, so I might as well collect more while I'm still young. When I get old and can't walk anymore, there is something in my collection that I have neglected to value, and I think it is also a wonderful thing. ……”
As he spoke, Liu Yufei also showed a fascinated expression. Jia Rudao could only turn his head away and ignore it again. However, what Liu Yufei said is not unreasonable. Even if you are an expert, when you get your hands on antiques, you will be eye-catching. No matter how much Liu Yufei likes jasper, how many collections he has, how good his eyesight is, and the number of times he hits jasper products when he encounters jasper products, although Liu Yufei didn't say it for the sake of face, Jia Yidao can take it for granted that it will definitely not be less.
As for the experience of going to Yangzhou to collect the Moyu birthday star last time, but not achieving the goal, it is even more victorious.
"By the way, Brother Jia, your agate tree is still there, right?" Liu Yufei suddenly asked. Jia Yidao suddenly replied with a knowingly inquiring look, Liu Yufei smiled, and said: "If you want to know the specific species of the agate tree, you can take those cut fragments to the Cultural Relics Inspection Bureau to try, maybe, you can really detect what kind of tree it is." The more you know about what you collect, the more fun it will be. Otherwise, if others ask in the future, you don't even know what your collection is, and it's a shame to say it. ”
"That's right. Jia Rudao nodded in agreement, "However, this agate tree should belong to the category of fossils, and if you want to take it, you should also take it to a place like the Institute of Geology." ”
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, I have acquaintances over there at the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. How about it, why don't you bring some samples to try when you go back this time?" Liu Yufei said with a smile. In this way, Jia Nidao was a little moved, if the entire agate tree was transported, even if there was hope to detect what kind of tree it was, Jia Nidao would not be too happy. Now it's not too much trouble to just carry a little sample that you cut when you cut the agate tree.
