Chapter 378: Ming Chenghua Doucai (Supplement 5.16)
However, Jia Rudao felt a little regretful, as Uncle Wang said, this porcelain, which is more exquisite in the rest of the place, has a fatal flaw, that is, there is a "ring punch" on the bottle body. Even Jia Nidao didn't know anything about the skills of porcelain repair, but there were already two pieces of broken porcelain in his house, and Jia Rudao had found some information.
For example, the porcelain with the "ring punch" on the bottle body in front of me is very difficult to repair. Of course, this refers to the fact that what you want to repair is the same as if it has not been damaged, if it is just a simple repair, regardless of the value of the porcelain itself, art, glaze, etc., then it is a different matter.
It's just that, even so, Jia Rudao still feels a little fond of such a piece of porcelain. Gently with the left hand, at the bottom of the porcelain stroke, but there is not the slightest sense of roughness, with the eyes to look at it, you can see that the whole bottom is a little yellow-brown sand bottom, the texture is very delicate, that is, commonly known as the "rice paste bottom", it is very similar to the white rice burned paste, which is the unique style of the blue and white in the official kiln of Ming Chenghua.
In Jia Yidao's memory, the blue and white porcelain in the Chenghua official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, especially the large ones, is rare. This piece can be regarded as a relatively large Doucai leaf pattern bottle, which can be called a treasure in the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty.
Sighing slightly, Jia Yidao calmed down his emotions and asked Boss Gong: "How much does this bottle cost?"
When Boss Gong heard this, it seemed that this time the transaction was more reliable, and his eyes suddenly lit up. This kind of change in his eyes, just this afternoon, has already appeared once in this reception room, at that time, the transaction with Ah San happened to be completed perfectly, and this time between him and Jia Yidao?
Boss Gong stretched out a hand very neatly, flipped it over the front and back, signaled the price of 100,000 yuan, and said: "It seems that Xiao Jia should have no doubt about the age of this porcelain, so you also know that this thing is worth this price." ”
"It's a little too expensive. "Anyway, in a word, Jia Rudao must be like this, you can't just say "Okay, I bought it", that seems too casual, and it is easy to give Boss Gong the feeling that the price of his porcelain is too low. If there is a chance to do business next time, I can't say that Boss Gong will directly open the things to a sky-high price.
"It's already a market price. Boss Gong thought about his rhetoric and said, "If I am willing to sell it at a low price, do you think that such a piece of porcelain, even if it is superficially with a punch, will be stored in "Ciyun Zhai" for nearly ten years?"
Jia Rudao's expression couldn't help but be awe-inspired, this is the benefit of a big family and a good reputation.
As soon as "Ciyun Zhai" was raised, Jia Rudao seemed to be a little weaker in front of Boss Gong. Jia Rudao still has a leisure reverie in his heart at this time, and when his "green, fat, red and thin" reputation grows in the future, when he trades with others, can he also use this technique?
However, Jia Nidao was thinking about Meizizi in his heart, but Boss Gong felt a little mysterious in his heart, it seemed that after he said "Ciyun Zhai", why was Jia Nidao's performance so bland? Could it be that as Ah San said, Jia Nidao is really a novice who collects a line?
In the mind of Boss Gong, I am afraid that only a novice in porcelain collection will show an indifferent attitude towards his "Ciyun Zhai"? Otherwise, any person in the industry, after hearing such a term, especially those who like porcelain collection, is absolutely unlikely to be in a calm mood without the slightest wave.
Boss Gong glanced at Jia Nidao carefully, and the feeling of knowing from the inside out on Jia Nidao's face was still very obvious. Boss Gong couldn't help but think about the wording a little by himself, and said: "However, Xiao Jia, you also come to my side of the 'Ciyun Zhai' to collect things, and they all talk about a business, not to mention making money or not, just mix it up first." So, if you really like such a thing, and you plan to accept it, I'll give you an 8.5% discount just like Ah San, how about it?"
"Eight-point five-fold?" Jia Nidao muttered in his heart, that is eighty-five thousand, although in Jia Nidao's opinion, this money is not much, but, with the experience just now, Jia Nidao is now, even if it is an old businessman like Boss Gong, there are some loopholes in bargaining that can be exploited.
So, Jia Rudao pointed to the bucket color leaf pattern bottle on the coffee table, and said, "Boss Gong, let me tell you this, I really don't know much about porcelain." I don't know what kind of price Ming Chenghua has put on the current market. However, this thing is really beautiful, and I like it when I look at it. It's just that you can also see for yourself, the crack on this bottle, the ring chong here, is like a young woman with a gorgeous face, in her pretty face, in a very conspicuous position, there is a scar, no matter how graceful this woman's figure is, how fair her skin is, we will also feel the scenery when we look at it!
As soon as Jia Nidao's words were finished, Boss Gong didn't answer much, but Ah San on the side took the lead in applauding: "Xiao Jia, I really haven't seen that you kid still has the talent to be a writer." Maybe you won't play jade anymore and switch to writing, and you can make a certain amount of fame. ”
"Generally average. Jia Rudao said a few words modestly and said, "When I look at this porcelain, I really feel like this, Boss Gong, what do you say?"
"Just because you said this beautifully, I'll give you this number. Boss Gong is also simply, directly compared a number of eight, in a word, it is worth the price of five thousand, and it can be regarded as Boss Gong is very face-saving for Jia, "At this price, if it is the same thing, it is absolutely impossible in the generation of antique street in Linhai." ”
"The same thing?" Jia Rudao smiled on his face, "If there is the same thing, then what else do I want to do with this porcelain of yours, Boss Gong, here?"
The underlying meaning in that words, such a Ming Chenghua Doucai Leaf Pattern Bottle, if there is still the same, and it appears in the same place, you don't have to think about it to know that it is most likely to be old. When Boss Gong heard this, he also smiled wryly, as if he felt that his words were a little too much.
"However, Xiao Jia, you can really rest assured, I can't guarantee the quality of this thing. But in terms of age, there will be absolutely no problem. Boss Gong seemed to be trying to save a little face, and explained, "Ah San also asked just now, how did I get this thing......
"I can talk about that. At this time, Uncle Wang saw that the transaction between Jia Nidao and Boss Gong seemed to be about to be negotiated, and the two talked about the origin of this Doucai porcelain, so they interjected and said, "Xiao Jia, you also know that I met Lao Gong when I was young, and I went out to collect antique porcelain and the like many times at that time, and I encountered this porcelain." ”
"Oh, I guess I really said it, I collected it at an antique stall, right?" Ah San said playfully.
"Not really. Uncle Wang explained, "If I'm not mistaken, it should have been collected at a family's house." Listen to the man's explanation, saying that it is ancestral. However, this so-called ancestral inheritance actually does not have many generations. ”
"Could it be that there is any special story here?" Ah Sanyi heard Uncle Wang's posture, and seemed to be about to start talking, and his heart jumped subconsciously. On this side of the antique street, there is no one who can't tell a story if he has been in the dark for some time.
Moreover, the stories told by everyone are quite touching. It's Ah San's own son, and in a short period of time, while telling the first half of the story, he continues to make up the second half of the story. If time permits, it will not be a problem to let Ah San talk alone for three days and three nights.
However, at this time, it was Boss Gong's "Ciyun Zhai" selling things, but Uncle Wang began to tell the story, which was relatively fresh.
"You kid believe it or not. Uncle Wang glanced at Ah San with disgust and said, "Speaking of the origin of this Doucai leaf pattern bottle, before it was passed on to that family, in fact, there were many incidents. The time also goes back to 1926, when there was an antique dealer named Feng Haitao in the area of the Liuli Factory at that time, and he spent a thousand oceans to accept this Ming Chenghua Doucai leaf pattern vase. Because of the relatively early age, the price of the Chinese collection was not very high at that time, so he pondered that if this thing was sold to foreigners, it would definitely be sold at a good price, so he took this bottle to Shanghai, which was known as the "adventurer's paradise" at that time. He searched for a way to contact the buyer, and finally found the consul of the French Embassy, Mr. Henry. It's just that Feng Haitao's luck is not very good, on the day of the transaction, he was so excited that he accidentally dropped the bottle on the carpet, leaving this annular punch. When Henry saw the annular punch that appeared on the bottle, it was very eye-catching, and he said no on the spot, and Feng Haitao could only say goodbye to Shanghai with regret. However, before going back, he still sold the damaged vase with the leaf pattern in his hand to a hawker who did the antique business at a price of a large ocean. ”
"Then, the peddler felt that it was difficult to get his hands on it, so he kept it and passed it on to future generations?" Ah San then asked.
"What do you think?" Uncle Wang looked at Ah San speechlessly, as if Ah San didn't believe that the story he just told was true.
"I feel like if I were the antique vendor, I'd have passed it on. "However, before that, I should find a master who repairs porcelain and repair this thing." ”
"Hehe, that's you, not an antique vendor. Boss Gong said with a smile, "People sold this porcelain at that time." Then I tossed and turned a few times, and finally it reached the hands of the ancestors of the household, and the porcelain was saved from the fate of recirculation, until nine years ago, when Xiao Wang and I went to the family's house and received the porcelain. ”
"That's not the same as not saying it. Ah San shook his head helplessly, there is no evidence for such a story at all.
The story in the mouth of the so-called antique dealer is the same as that of the wild history. If you believe it, it's true. If you don't believe it, it's false. If this Ming Chenghua Doucai leaf pattern bottle really has such an experience. As long as Henry, the French consul at the time, left some information, such as a diary, it is estimated that the value of this thing at this time is not a thing of tens of thousands of dollars.
I can't say it, Boss Gong collected it by himself.
"Xiao Jia, you know the origin of this thing. The specific authenticity still needs to be judged by yourself. Boss Gong said, "Judging from the way you look at this porcelain, Xiao Jia, you said that you are a novice, but you are a little dishonest." ”
"I learned that from Ah San. Jia Rudao explained, "However, I still want to thank Uncle Wang for telling such a tortuous story." At least, it gave me a lot more reverie, didn't it?...... By the way, Boss Gong, isn't the price of 80,000 yuan the lowest?"
Jia Rudao hesitated, turned to the side of the coffee table, and continued to play with the porcelain. What is particularly important is that Jia Nidao's gaze is always in the area of the punch on the bottle, moving back and forth, as if he is clearly telling Boss Gong that Jia Nidao is hesitating whether to make a move at this time?
"Hehe, the price of 80,000 yuan is really not high. Boss Gong gestured slightly at Uncle Wang's side and said, "Xiao Wang knows, if this thing was lower than the price of 80,000, he would have sold it two years earlier." And the 80,000 yuan two years ago is ...... from the current 80,000 yuan."
If Boss Gong doesn't say it, Jia Yidao can also understand. Considering the existence of inflation, the price given by Boss Gong at this time is already relatively low.
Jia Rudao sighed in his heart, thinking about how to "grind", it is estimated that there is no price to say.
However, just as Jia Rudao was about to agree, it was a ghost, and Jia Rudao's left hand, in the process of playing with this Ming Chenghua Doucai Leaf Pattern Vase, infiltrated some of his own spiritual power into the inside of the bottle. So, in Jia Yidao's mind, the outline of a bottle suddenly appeared.
And gradually, just when Jia Nidao sighed that he had no judgment for things like porcelain, the shape of the bottle gradually blurred, as if it was a little more viscous, making the whole bottle feel like it was melting.
Could it be that this thing is worn?
You know, whether it is modern porcelain or ancient porcelain, the difference in texture is not very big. Jia Rudao can constantly sense the porcelain of a certain age in ancient times, so as to roughly confirm whether this porcelain is a new imitation.
Also, even with Ability Perception, it's hard to get anything else. It is nothing more than that it is very clear whether a piece of porcelain is a complete shape. If it is said that to detect whether a piece of porcelain has been repaired, Jia Yidao's ability perception is like sensing whether there is a lock of jadeite material in the jadeite rough, which is simple and fast, and very accurate!
Retracting the attention on his left hand, Jia Rudao sorted out his emotions, considering that the ability perception is still relatively weak in the use of porcelain, it can only be used as an auxiliary means, and the main thing is to look at his eyesight, so that this Ming Chenghua Doucai Doucai leaf pattern vase, Jia Rudao is still ready to accept it.
Regardless of whether it was such a pit dug by Boss Gong and Uncle Wang together, Jia Yidao was ready to "jump" down.
and Ah San, they gave each other a look. Since Boss Gong knew that Ah San was there, he still took out such a piece of porcelain. Presumably at this time, even if Ah San is asked to help with this identification, there will be no unexpected effect, and Jia Rudao will avoid such a process and directly agree.
After all, Boss Gong knows Jia Nidao's identity very well, if a transaction is too embarrassing, Jia Nidao pondered that Boss Gong doesn't need to think about doing business with himself in the future, right? Thinking about it, Jia Nidao suddenly felt that with Boss Gong and his own identity, this kind of transaction of tens of thousands of yuan really didn't need to be treated too carefully.
In this way, Jia Rudao asked Ah San to stay here alone, went to the bank on the corner of the street, withdrew the money, and paid the money together with Ah San's Xuande furnace.
After that, the atmosphere was undoubtedly much more harmonious. Boss Gong also talked about some of the deeds he went to collect antiques all over the country when he was young. It's just that, as he spoke, he soon talked about this bucket color leaf pattern vase again. It seems that most collectors have such a problem.
As long as you have handled it yourself, it is not the kind of thing that turns around and makes a move, and after staying by your side for a long time, you will have some feelings.
If Jia Nidao was asked to sell the porcelain collected in his home such as the five pieces of Qing Palace at this time, Jia Nidao would hesitate. Therefore, although Boss Gong is a big businessman and is in the porcelain business, he has also taken a few more looks at this bucket color leaf pattern vase at this time.
"Xiao Jia, I see that you are also a real person, and we don't have too much heart for the transaction just now, but I still haven't explained the situation to you. Boss Gong smacked his mouth a few times and said, "Let me tell you this, I have already reminded you that this thing is in my hand, but it has been kept for nearly ten years." ”
"Hmm. Jia Rudao nodded.
"So, if you keep this vase for yourself, it's a good thing. Moreover, the glaze color of Chenghua Doucai in the Ming Dynasty is also very distinctive. Boss Gong continued. "However, if you want to fix it and do it again, you don't have to think about it. ”
"Why?" Ah San asked a little strangely, "Even if you have a collection yourself, after repairing it, it should be more collectible." ”
"I'll tell you the truth, that's what I thought when I was back then. Boss Gong recalled and said, "Those of us who like porcelain themselves will know a little bit about the repair of porcelain, right? For so many years, in order to repair it, I have spent a lot of effort, and I have also found many masters and masters in the repair of ancient porcelain, but no one dares to take this job." It's not that I'm not sure, or the price can't be paid. ”
"I'm not sure, I can understand it, what does it mean that this price can't be paid?" Jia Yidao asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the price spent on repairing is far more than the porcelain itself?"
"Pretty much. Boss Gong made an analogy, "If this porcelain is worth 180,000 yuan now, you need to spend 100,000 yuan to repair it, but after repairing, its value is 200,000 yuan, will you still repair it?"
"Then I really need to think about it. Jia Rudao touched his nose, and he didn't know what to say. At the same time, Jia Yidao also sighed, fortunately, his original plan was to collect such a thing, rather than resell it. Besides, there are still two pieces of porcelain that need to be repaired in Jia Rudao's home, and it is good to receive another damaged one at this time.
In this way, Jia Yidao's home is like a recycling station that specializes in recycling damaged porcelain. For a moment, Jia Rudao's mind thought of Li Tiantian in Shanghai, and maybe her aunt could bring a little surprise to herself.
……
Bidding farewell to Boss Gong, coming out of "Ciyun Zhai", there are still a lot of people on the streets of Antique Street. Jia Rudao and Ah San didn't have the heart to hang out anymore, they each took what they had collected, and they should do whatever they wanted.
Jia Rudao first returned to the "green, fat, red and thin" side, but was taken aback by his mother.
On the counter that was originally empty, there were a lot of things piled up at this time, Jia Yidao glanced at it casually, and he could understand that these dozen or so things must have come from the stalls of the antique street, and most of them were fake goods.
"Mom, shouldn't you have made a big purchase?" Jia Rudao said helplessly.
