Chapter 152: Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup
The so-called who makes what money, in the antique shop, is really like this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with those who take medicine, it is a good thing that they can earn! These two things, they only spent a total of one or two thousand yuan, and as a result, they got 30,000 yuan, and they made so much money at once, which is also a rare big profit in recent times!
Sun Zhongyuan and Huo Xiaodong continued to wander in the corridor, and they would also go into the room to take a look, but they didn't find anything good next.
In these years, you can buy two things on a trip, and one of them is still a big leak, which is basically jaw-dropping.
Walking to the room closest to the stairs at the entrance of the hotel, the door was open, and an old man was packing his things, and it seemed that he was about to check out and leave.
Sun Zhongyuan stood at the door and poked his head in. At this time, the old man was wrapping a small porcelain cup in a soft cloth, and next to it, there was a small wooden box. Everything else is wrapped in old newspapers.
"Uncle, you wait. Sun Zhongyuan glanced at it twice, and then walked in directly.
The old man had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but he was clean and simple, he glanced at Sun Zhongyuan, was slightly stunned, and put the thing down, "If you want to see it, just take a look, I have to go, give you ten minutes." ”
Sun Zhongyuan nodded, "Thank you." Then he walked in and carefully picked up the small cup.
"Doucai Chicken Cup!" Huo Xiaodong followed in, and couldn't help but scream.
However, his tone was a little strange.
This can't be helped, everyone knows the name of the Doucai Chicken Cup, and it's hard for anyone to believe that there will be something real here. The meaning of the real thing is the chicken bowl cup of the Chenghua Dynasty.
This small cup, which is as thick as a duck's egg, is lying on its feet. There is really a blue and white paragraph at the bottom: the Ming Dynasty Chenghua year.
However, this cup is much smaller than the hand-me-down and auctioned Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup! Take the 280 million chicken bowl cup as an example, the diameter of the mouth is about eight centimeters. This doucai chicken bowl cup has a diameter of about five centimeters around the mouth edge.
Small is small, but the process is not ambiguous, there are hens leading chicks to peck, flower annali, contrasting with each other.
The carcass is thin and even, the glaze is like jade, and the color of the bucket color is also very beautiful.
There is an old saying in porcelain: look at Chenghua clearly, and look at Yongzheng clearly. Chenghua porcelain, the first to recommend the color of the bucket.
The underglaze blue and white outline, the glaze color material is shining, competing for beauty, full of elegance.
Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, if you only use one word to describe him, it is "weak", weak physically, and weak in spirit. Even when looking for a wife, I also found an aunt Wan who was more than ten years older than me.
Chenghua porcelain also has weak characteristics, those ornaments, slender and swaying, those branches and leaves, weak and can't help the wind, those chickens, Chu Chu pitiful. But it is precisely because of this weakness that a different kind of morbid beauty has been created, and a peak in the history of Chinese porcelain has been created.
Some scholars once pointed out that in China, morbid beauty, even a little perverted beauty, is the highest level of beauty, such as goldfish, such as gall wood, such as Xizi heart.
However, the emperor of Chenghua is not simply weak, in essence, compared with those ancestors who attach importance to cultural and martial arts, Emperor Chenghua pays more attention to the expression of his heart and likes the delicate style of life.
Sun Zhongyuan once examined Chenghua porcelain for a long time through the glass cabinet in the museum, and at this time, a thought always came to his heart: Zhu Jianshen, he must be tired of the emperor's work, he is obsessed with art, intoxicated with emotion, weak but persistent, so that in the pursuit of art, it is wonderful.
Chenghua Doucai, little and fine, has always been a treasure. Even in the Ming Dynasty, "Shenzong was fashionable food, and there was a pair of Chenghua color chicken cups in front of the emperor, which was worth 100,000 yuan."
For more than 500 years, Chenghua Doucai has never been imitated. Among them, the three generations of the Qing Dynasty are the most. However, at that time, the high imitation was a kind of learning reference, and it would generally fall into the current dynasty or not, and only a few would also fall into the Chenghua model.
This small chicken bowl cup is obviously not a utensil of the Chenghua Dynasty, but it is a Chenghua model.
Sun Zhongyuan took a closer look, and according to the faint Baoguang's situation, this should be an imitation from the Republic of China.
The high imitation of Chenghua Doucai, with the three generations of the Qing Dynasty as the most, Sun Zhongyuan did not expect that during the Republic of China, there would be such a master!
"Uncle, is this cup for sale?" Sun Zhongyuan handed the old man a cigarette.
The old man was not polite, he picked up the lighter and lit it after taking it, spit out a puff of smoke, and then asked Sun Zhongyuan, "Do you want it?"
"yes!"
"Do you really want to?" the old man actually asked again.
"Uncle, didn't I just say it?"
The old man smiled, "But I don't want a cheap price." ”
Even beginners won't believe it's real. Many people's psychology is like this, when they identify it as an imitation, even if it is imitated, they are not willing to pay a high price. Imitations!
Of course, if it is the ancients imitating the ancients, such as the imitations of the Ming Dynasty and the imitations of the Qing Dynasty, there may be people who are willing to lift it. But this cup, from the shape can also be seen, before the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and even in the well-documented Qing Dynasty, there was no such small and obvious imitation.
This high-level imitation person seems to have deliberately made it so small. However, after this is smaller, it seems to have more charm than the real thing.
This craftsmanship is indeed amazing!
"Tell me, you can't let me guess, can you?"
"This is something that my grandfather handed down, and in the sixties my father almost took his life to protect the cup. The old man still hadn't made an offer, but he said so.
It's kind of like storytelling. In the antique shop, there is no shortage of stories.
Sun Zhongyuan took a puff of cigarette, "Uncle, since it is an ancestral heirloom, it is not easy to keep it, why do you want to sell it now?"
The old man looked at Sun Zhongyuan, "I can't talk to you about the family." This cup, if it is less than a million, it will not be sold!"
When Huo Xiaodong heard this, he was a little anxious, "Uncle, if you want to do this, you might as well send it for auction!"
The old man glanced at Huo Xiaodong with disdain, "This is a high imitation! Can you get a price of one million at auction?"
Sun Zhongyuan asked again, "Uncle, is this cup just this one? It is said that it is usually in pairs." ”
"You're right, it was a couple, but in the sixties, one was destroyed. The uncle said, extinguishing the cigarette, "Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, if I don't buy it, I should leave." ”
The old man was resolute. Sun Zhongyuan was very hesitant.
It is indeed too expensive to spend 1 million to buy a high-quality imitation of the Republic of China! Although even some modern works of art will still have high-priced things.
When the old man saw Sun Zhongyuan's appearance, he didn't say anything, just picked up the soft cloth, wrapped the cup carefully, and then put it in the wooden box.
