Chapter 560: Armor and Porcelain Vase
"Boss Peng, this armor is very beautiful, can I choose this one?"
Seeing this set of armor, the fat man's eyes suddenly lit up, you know, Boss Peng only asked them to choose one object, but this set of armor is one, Boss Peng can't let himself only take a helmet or cuirass back, right?
"Okay, do you fancy the helmet, or the shield or the long knife?" asked Peng Bin seriously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Ah, Boss Peng, do you really only let me choose one?" The fat man was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and said with a sad face: "This set looks good when put together, I ...... What am I going to do with a helmet, I can't wear this thing......"
"What I said before is one, not a set...... Peng Bin said with a serious face: "There are more than ten pieces of this set, isn't it a big loss for me to give it to you?"
"That'...... Let's choose something else......"
The fat man was almost suffocated from internal injuries, don't look at the fat man giggling all day long, but he is an absolute Virgo character, if such a set of things is missing, even the fat man will help Peng Bin feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'm joking with you, I'll give you this set......" Seeing the fat man's constipated face, Peng Bin's tense face changed and he laughed.
"Really?" The fat man was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Boss Peng, what is the origin of this armor, you can also tell me, otherwise I won't be able to brag when I go back......"
Although the fat man is a talker, he has the wisdom of a small person, and he never hides his shallowness and ignorance in front of people, so others can't really get angry with him.
At this time, Peng Bin, after hearing the fat man's words, couldn't laugh or cry on his face, and dared to feel that he had spent a lot of effort to collect all this set of medieval knight armor, and in the hands of the fat man, it actually became his bragging capital.
"This set of armor took me two years to collect in Europe, it's from the sixteenth century, you kid need to take good care of it......"
Peng Bin once studied in Europe for two years, but he basically did not stay in school for a few days in those two years, but he became very interested in European medieval weapons and armor, and spent his days either running to auctions or going to private collections, and bought a lot of good things.
For example, this set of armor, the helmet and armor were auctioned by Peng Bin from the auction house, and the money spent was not very much, only 8,000 US dollars, but in order to collect the arm guards and the long knives and shields of the same period, Peng Bin really spent a lot of effort, and it took two full years to be considered complete.
"Sixteenth century, could this thing have killed a lot of people?" Hearing Peng Bin's words, the fat man looked at the long knife that seemed to be emitting cold light, and his expression was a little hesitant.
"You kid, where did you go with all that guts just now?"
Peng Bin shook his head with a smile and said: "This set of knight armor is not used for battle, otherwise where would it be so bright?" This is the armor used by the king of Spain in the military parade at that time, so it is relatively well preserved, you kid can be regarded as picking up a leak today......
Peng Bin collected this set of armor one or two decades ago, and there were not many people who would collect ancient armor and weapons in Europe, so this set of armor was collected for less than 20,000 US dollars.
But in recent years, the European art market has almost exploded, and the price of collections such as this type has increased many times.
If Peng Bin is willing to sell it, as long as he sends this set of armor to the auction house in Europe, he can easily auction it for more than 500,000 US dollars.
"Hehe, Boss Peng, what kind of vision do I have? You ask Brother Yi, in the Jinling antique market, who doesn't know my reputation as a fat man?" Hearing Peng Bin say that, the fat man suddenly fluttered, and he began to brag about it without a door.
"Okay, I'll send you over with Fang Yi's knife at that time, Brother Sanpao, do you like anything?" Peng Bin interrupted the fat man's words with a smile, and his eyes looked at Sanpao, who had not made much noise.
"Brother Peng, I want this enamel vase......"
When the fat man chose that set of armor, the three guns also had a goal, and after hearing Peng Bin's question, the three guns pointed to a porcelain bottle placed on the Bogu shelf, this porcelain bottle has a round belly and a thin neck, and the whole body is painted with gold and enamel technology, and there is a pattern of landscape and stone women on the bottle, which looks very good.
"Okay, I'll have someone wrap it up when I go back, and I'll send it over together......"
Seeing that the three guns chose a bottle, Peng Bin nodded indifferently, the objects that he valued were basically all related to fighting and killing, such as the bottles and cans collected in the family, Peng Bin had not seen them once.
"Three cannons, why did you choose a bottle?" Seeing the object selected by the three cannons, the fat man pursed his lips and said: "Let's grab a lot of this thing towards the Heavenly Palace, I said three cannons, your vision is far worse than the fat man......"
"Do you know a fart?" The three guns, who usually wilted a few times, rarely burst into a foul mouth, put down the enamel porcelain vase he was looking at in his hand, turned his head to look at Peng Bin, and said, "Brother Peng, I'd better change the object......"
"Well, what's wrong, don't like this?" Peng Bin was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's that this enamel is too valuable......" Sangun shook his head with a wry smile.
"Is this bottle expensive?"
The three guns on the side directly omitted the heavy words behind it, reached out and picked up the enamel porcelain vase, turned it over and looked at the bottom of the bottle, although the fat man did not learn and did not know, but also knew that the origin of the ceramic was very important.
In ancient times, there were five famous kilns in China, and the ceramics produced by these five famous kilns are all priceless treasures today, and in addition to the five famous kilns, there are several official kiln porcelain dedicated to the emperor, which is the most famous for the official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
"Holy, this ...... This is the porcelain of the Yongzheng year, is it really fake?" When the fat man saw the style at the bottom of the enamel, he was stunned, because the six words of "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" were clearly written in regular letters.
"Yongzheng year's enamelware? This thing is rare......
Fang Yi was also taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly took the porcelain bottle from the fat man's hand, and his eyes looked at the bottom of the paragraph, the six words of "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" are written in two lines, the handwriting is beautiful, there are blue and white frames on both sides, the production process is very exquisite, and it does not look like a fake.
"It's true......"
After a while, Fang Yi raised his head, just now, Fang Yi used his divine power that he hadn't used for a long time, and infiltrated a trace of divine consciousness into the porcelain vase in his hand, and suddenly a heavy sense of historical vicissitudes entered Fang Yi's mind, this thing was indeed an old object.
"Three cannons, you can change one......" Fang Yi said to the three cannons.
"Why do you want to change it? The three guns brothers like this, so it's better to take it......" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin was not happy, he had already said it before, and he couldn't let himself be untrustworthy just because things were valuable.
"Brother Peng, forget it, I'll choose another ......"
Sanpao smiled bitterly, he chose this enamel porcelain before, thinking that this thing might be an imitation of the Republic of China or the late sunny days, and it was worth tens of thousands of yuan at most, but when he picked it up, Sanpao knew that this was actually the "Gu Yuexuan" fine enamel ware in the Yongzheng period.
"Big brother, you don't know much about porcelain vases, let me tell you about them......" Seeing Peng Bin's inexplicable look, Fang Yi opened his mouth to explain to him the origin of this porcelain vase.
Enamel porcelain, began in the late years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, it is painted on the glass tire with enamel color, fired at high temperature, because its process is extremely difficult, so only in the royal kiln to make very small utensils, such as snuff bottles, cigarette saucers, etc., like such a large porcelain bottle, can already be called a heavy vessel.
As for why the enamel is called Gu Yuexuan, it is because the enamel is extremely difficult to fire, and it will naturally explode if you are not careful, and an object with the official kiln will naturally crack when playing with it in the hands of the emperor, which naturally makes people feel very embarrassed, that is, the emperor wants to get angry and has no way to start, so Emperor Yongzheng wants to start another one instead of the official kiln.
So Emperor Yongzheng handed over the naming to Haiwang, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and "Gu Yuexuan" is Haiwang's whimsical idea when he watched the moon and enjoyed the scenery in the Old Summer Palace, and since then, the enamel is often called Gu Yuexuan.
The difficulty of Gu Yuexuan's firing is mainly that the glaze temperature and the melting point of the material tire are almost the same, which requires the craftsman to strictly grasp the furnace temperature and the thickness of the material tire.
When Fang Yi came to Myanmar, he heard from Yu Xuan that at an auction that had just ended in the capital, a snuff bottle with Gu Yuexuan's glass fetal painting enamel during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was auctioned for 2.42 million yuan, and the value of the snuff bottle obviously could not be compared with the enamel porcelain in front of him.
"Hey, isn't it money?"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin waved his hand a little impatiently, and said, "Don't choose another one, just this porcelain bottle, this thing is not even a decoration left here, Brother Sangun, this thing is given to you by big brother......"
Peng Bin could see that when Sancang chose this porcelain vase, he really didn't know its value, and there was no greed or desire to take advantage, because if Sancang didn't say it, Peng Bin didn't know that such a bottle that couldn't even hold half a catty of water could be worth so much money.
