Chapter 170: Jun Porcelain

The porcelain and wood carvings that Tian Chuan bought in Panjiayuan on the day he last met the pickpocket were put by Tian Chuan in a few grids similar to Baibaoge on the bookshelf in the study after he took them home, and he never cared about them again. It wasn't until he came back from leading the Tai Chi fighters around the country this time that Tian Chuan remembered these things.

He selected all those porcelain, no matter how you look at it, the most abundant coarse porcelain dishes are ordinary household items and will not be of much value. The vase looked ancient, and the cyan enamel on the surface made people feel refreshed, and Tagawa liked it very much, so he placed it in Baibaoge.

For the pastel bowl that he valued the most, he studied it repeatedly, but he didn't see what it was. The color and enamel of the small bowl are quite good, and they are very beautiful. He first put this small bowl in Baibao like that vase, but he couldn't put it down in his heart, lest it was a real treasure that he accidentally ruined, and finally put it in the safe to feel at ease.

That Zhong Kui wood carving was what he had been interested in from the beginning. From the shape of Zhong Kui on the wood carving, Tian Chuan always felt that there was an ancient sense of exaltation, and with his intuition of art, he firmly believed that this wood carving must be an antiquity. And the wood carving is very vivid, the technique is rigorous, it should be a fine product.

He did not believe that a carver who could carve such a beautiful work would choose too poor wood, so although he was not sure of the wood used, he still admired the wood carving.

It's just that the dirt on the wood carvings seriously affects his judgment. He felt that it was a pity that the rough cleaning had not only failed to reveal more details, but had made the appearance of the wood carvings worse. However, he did not dare to do further cleaning or restoration work, and finally decided to ask an expert to help.

He contacted the ancient, painting and calligraphy framing and restoration specialists. Gu Gu is a special expert of the Palace Museum, so he should know some experts about wood carving, right?

Gu Gu heard about Tianchuan wood carving, and introduced him to Mr. Zhang Jiguang, a famous miscellaneous expert in the Forbidden City. Before introducing Mr. Zhang, Gu specially said to Tian Chuan: "Mr. Zhang is a well-known expert in the industry, and since last year, he has been on many antique appraisal programs in a row, and he is very famous in the country. If I come forward, he will not refuse, but the labor fee should not be less. If you want to appraise this wood carving, his appraisal fee should be between 3,000 and 5,000 yuan, and you can look at it at that time. You can make an appointment with the expert from the auction house who helped you appraise your paintings and calligraphy last time, what should you call it?"

"Ying Qichen. ”

"Yes. The boy was also an expert in this area, and he was more proficient in woodwork than calligraphy and painting. ”

Tian Chuan immediately said: "The labor fee or something, it will definitely not be less, you can rest assured." I also want to make a friend. In this way, after you contact Mr. Zhang, tell me the time, and I will pick him up. ”

Gu was very efficient, and he called back after a while, telling Tian Chuan that Zhang Lao had time that afternoon, and asked Tian Chuan to pick up people in a while.

Tian Chuan then called Ying Qichen, but it turned out that he was not in the capital at all today. I had the heart to ask the ancient to make an appointment again, but I felt that this was not respectful enough for Zhang Lao, so I simply didn't look for someone else, and went directly to the ancient to pick up the "Lanting Collection Preface" and "Mourning Shen Yuan" that I had no time to get back after being framed, and picked up the ancient and Zhang Lao, and returned home together. Gu Chenglin heard that Tian Chuan had something to identify, and he followed him like a curious baby.

When he came to Tian Chuan's house, Zhang Lao did not rush to see the wood carvings, but asked to see the two works that Tian Chuan took back from Gu first. After reading it, Zhang Lao was full of praise for Tian Chuan's two calligraphy and paintings, saying that he had not seen such a good work for a long time. Subsequently, he asked Tian Chuan to take some other collections to see, Tian Chuan did not have too many things at home, and the good things were sent to Qi Gang's cultural communication company to be preserved, only the painting of Wang Xuetao that he liked was still at home, so he took it out of the safe and asked Zhang Lao and Gu to enjoy it together.

After the explanation of the two masters, I learned that the reason why Zhang Lao did not look at the wood carving first was a habit, and he had to do something else first to relax himself, so that he could be more sure of judging the right and wrong and good or bad of a thing.

Finally, when it was time to look at the wood carving, and seeing the scratched marks on the wood carving, Zhang Lao was not angry: "Isn't this a waste of things? ”

Tian Chuan had to explain: "When I got it, it was already made like this. I guess the dealer doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to put too much effort into cleaning up until he's sure the value of the thing. ”

Zhang Lao looked at the wood carving for a long time, and finally said: "In terms of carving style, this thing should be from the middle and late Ming Dynasty." Now I can't tell what kind of wood it is made of, and I need to wait for careful cleaning and restoration to see the texture of the wood and judge what kind of wood it is made of. ”

Tian Chuan hurriedly asked, "Elder Zhang, can you finish cleaning up this wood carving?" If you can, I would like to ask you to help me clean up this wood carving Zhong Kui. ”

Zhang Lao said: "It's okay for me to use my mouth, but I can't do this meticulous work." However, we have an old carver named Li Feng who repairs wood, and he is a good hand at doing this. It's just that his fee for doing this is not low, I estimate that repairing this Zhong Kui will definitely not work without 10,000 yuan. ”

Tian Chuan immediately entrusted Zhang Lao to contact Li Feng to clean up the wood carving. At this time, Zhang Lao's eyes were attracted by the vase in the Baibao grid. He stood up, walked to the shelf, and looked at it carefully for a long time before asking, "Can I get up and take a look at this vase?"

Seeing that Zhang Lao was so solemn, Gu couldn't help but walk over. Tagawa said, "Of course you can. ”

Zhang Lao carefully held the bottle with one hand and the bottom of the bottle with the other, gently picked up the vase and observed it carefully. Later, he brought the bottle to the table and asked Tagawa to spread a felt cushion on the table, then put the bottle on it, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully looked at it repeatedly.

Seeing Zhang Lao's solemn demeanor, Tian Chuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that this vase is very precious?

After looking at it for more than ten minutes, Zhang Lao put down the vase and magnifying glass, and said: "This vase is very good, I suspect that it is the legendary Jun porcelain." It's just that I'm not very good at porcelain identification, so it's not very good. ”

Tian Chuan said: "I don't know anything about porcelain, what is Jun porcelain? This bottle is my first match when I bought this wood carving, I just saw that this vase is beautiful, and it is placed here." There's also a little colorful bowl, and a whole bunch of other things, so take a look at them all. ”

As he spoke, he took out the small bowl in the safe, and the ordinary porcelain in the drawer below the bookshelf.

After reading it, Zhang Lao said: "These dishes are ordinary household items, although they are dozens or hundreds of years old, they have no collection value. This small pastel bowl, which should be from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, is a fine folk kiln porcelain, which is very exquisitely made and has a lot of collection value. ”

He then asked Tian Chuan: "Why don't I call Lao Xiong, who plays porcelain, and Li Feng, who repairs woodware, and ask them to come over?"

Tian Chuan said: "Great, you call, I will send a car to pick up people in a while." ”

Soon, Xiong Yannian, a porcelain expert called Lao Xiong by Zhang Lao, and Li Feng, a wood restoration expert, came to Tian Chuan's house together. Li Feng is a thin middle-aged man in his forties, and after he arrived, he was busy with the woodcarved Zhong Kui, ignoring the chatter of others when they looked at the vase.

Xiong Yannian is a tall old man in his sixties, with some good health, and he is called Lao Xiong by Zhang Lao, but he deserves his name. As soon as he saw the vase, he became excited, and after looking at it carefully, he said, "It's almost certain, it's Jun porcelain." Of course, some checks with the instrument are needed to confirm further. "The family is rich, it is better than a piece of Jun porcelain", this is a complete vessel, it is a priceless treasure. Be sure to keep it, it's too precious. ”

For other porcelain, Xiong Lao basically agreed with Zhang Lao's opinion, but he advanced the production time of the small bowl to the Jiaqing period, because the bowl showed the magnificent atmosphere of the prosperous age. For this statement, Tagawa has no feeling at all.

Tagawa said: "I don't know much about porcelain, and I don't really like it, so it's a pity to have such a precious thing in my hands." I want to sell it, do any of you experts want to take over? Li Tianlai I think this thing is beautiful, and I want to put it here to make a show, and now that I know its preciousness, then this vase will not be far from leaving me. ”

When several experts heard that Tian Chuan wanted to sell this vase, they sighed in unison, and Zhang Lao said: "We all like this thing, but we can't afford it, and it's lucky to be able to see and touch it." ”

Xiong Lao said: "If you want to get the most value, go for auction." It's just that I don't want to see this treasure go abroad, so you might as well run it through a regular auction house. As soon as this thing appears, it will definitely cause a sensation, and it will definitely be no problem to hold a special auction for it. ”

After Tian Chuan sent a few people away, he looked at the precious vase, and was a little worried about leaving it at home, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still called Qi Gang and said that Yang had sold this Jun kiln vase. Qi Gang on the other side of the phone heard that there was a complete Jun kiln vase, and immediately came to the spirit, and rushed to Tian Chuan after a while. After looking at the vase, he immediately offered Tian Chuan a high price of 150 million yuan. Tian Chuan didn't agree, and said: "It's not that I don't think the price you gave is low, but I didn't carry out the final instrument identification, I'm afraid that the thing is not real, and if I turn around and pit you, I won't be enough friends." ”

Qi Gang said: "With the joint appraisal results of Mr. Xiong and Mr. Zhang, what is there to worry about? Let me tell you, with the appraisal certificates signed by these two people, even if this thing is fake, it will become real." ”

Hearing Qi Gang say this, Tian Chuan no longer hesitated, signed an agreement with Tian Chuan on the spot, and bought the vase.
