Chapter 71: Hongwu is red in the glaze
"It's not a prying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that's what it's all about. Huo Xiaodong said.
It turned out that Huo Xiaodong received a middle-aged man who came to the auction house yesterday. This man is here to send something.
The thing sent for auction is a blue and white plate of Daoguang, the thing is right, Chen Ping also saw it, no problem, and it was done according to the normal procedures.
When Huo Xiaodong sent him downstairs to leave, he found that there was a woman in the hall on the first floor, and the man introduced that this was his wife.
This woman's mouth was a little broken, and after the introduction, she pulled Huo Xiaodong to chat a few more words.
According to her, their son is going to university abroad and will graduate next year. They thought that if their son was looking for a job abroad, they would go and live together. There are two ancestral antiques at home, and they will start selling them in advance now, so they can be considered to have some money in reserve.
Moreover, the woman seemed to be complaining about the man: there is also a bowl from the Ming Dynasty, which should be more valuable, how good it would be to send it together, why wait?
But the man said, "Let's see how this one goes!"
As soon as Huo Xiaodong heard this, he mobilized and said, since there are still good things, let's shoot together! The woman seemed to want to say a few more words, but the man left a sentence: "You are inked, I don't agree anyway!"
Huo Xiaodong kept an eye on it. When he registered for the auction, he left the man's phone number, and he took the opportunity to ask for the woman's phone number.
Last night, Huo Xiaodong secretly called the woman, and said that if there were any good things, he could collect them in his private name first, and the price was negotiable! Moreover, in this way, he could get the money directly, and he didn't have to wait for the auction to end, and he didn't have to pay the commission. I already have money, and I can still make money and so on.
"Agreed?" asked Sun Zhongyuan.
"Yes!" Huo Xiaodong showed a hint of smugness, "Women, it's easy to move." ”
"Stop! I don't have time to fool around with you. Sun Zhongyuan said suddenly.
"Are you alright?"
Sun Zhongyuan said, "You're too excited for a while! If that woman secretly gives you the things at home, and her man comes back to the door, don't you still have to sit on wax? ”
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Huo Xiaodong glared, "Let's go and see things first, if it's an ordinary thing, don't accept it! If it's really heavy, of course she has to inform her husband!"
Sun Zhongyuan looked at Huo Xiaodong and said the same thing, "Okay, things can be seen, but if they are good things, they can't be traded with her alone!"
"That's what I thought!" Huo Xiaodong pursed his lips and sped up the car.
After getting out of the car, Sun Zhongyuan looked up and saw an express hotel.
"Looking at something in the hotel?"
"Isn't this carrying her husband behind her back?" Huo Xiaodong said with a grin.
Sun Zhongyuan's brows furrowed slightly, but he still followed in.
When I got to the door of the room, I knocked on it. The door was opened by a middle-aged woman with short ear-length hair, dressed quite plainly.
"Manager Huo, please come in, please come in. ”
"Sister Qi, this is a friend of mine, who helped with the palm. Huo Xiaodong introduced. He didn't say he was a colleague.
Both nodded. From a backpack, the woman took out a wooden box, which was new, not good wood, and painted with varnish.
Huo Xiaodong didn't say anything, "Sister Qi, let's take a look at things first." ”
The box opened, and it was indeed a bowl. It is not small, with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters.
As soon as this bowl was on the eye, Sun Zhongyuan's eyes lit up.
Originally, I heard that the middle-aged couple sent to the auction house was a Daoguang blue and white plate, although Sun Zhongyuan heard that this bowl was from the Ming Dynasty, and he did not have too high expectations, but he never expected that it would be such a high-grade thing!
Hongwu glaze red!
Huo Xiaodong's eyesight was not as good as Sun Zhongyuan's, but his eyes also lit up, and he held the bowl firmly with both hands and looked at it carefully.
Hongwu porcelain is not brought with a paragraph, but Sun Zhongyuan's eyesight and Baoguang help, this thing can't be wrong!
And the glaze of this bowl is red, very pure.
Red and blue and white in the glaze are underglaze colors. It is to paint on the porcelain body, then glaze, and once into the kiln firing. The difference is that the color material used for blue and white is cobalt material, and the color material used for red glaze is copper material. After firing, the color of cobalt oxide and copper oxide is respectively.
Because the glaze red uses copper as a colorant, the stability is poor, so it is more difficult to burn. There was this technique in the Yuan Dynasty, but it was fired too little, and most of it was ugly black and red, and it was uneven. It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor who loved red, appeared, that he attached great importance to the red in the glaze, which made a breakthrough in the firing of red in the glaze. However, the official kiln heirloom is still rare.
To put it simply, Hongwu is red in the glaze, good and old and young, so in terms of price, it is also very expensive. As long as it is a high-quality product, it is not difficult to buy tens of millions of dollars at auction.
After Huo Xiaodong finished reading it, he looked at Sun Zhongyuan again, and Sun Zhongyuan said directly to the woman: "Sister Qi, are you sure you want to sell this?"
"Whether you sell it or not, it depends on the price!" The woman smiled at Huo Xiaodong, "Isn't it, Manager Huo?"
Huo Xiaodong originally didn't like the title of "manager", but he didn't care about it at this time, "Sister Qi, what price are you going to offer?"
"Look, my bowl is this kind of thing, right?" The woman took out her mobile phone at this time and called up a web page, the picture on it was a Hongwu glaze red entwined peony jade pot spring bottle, and the auction price was marked below.
More than 80 million.
Huo Xiaodong hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Qi, the picture is a jade pot spring bottle, a perfect masterpiece of large pieces." Besides, it's Hongwu glaze red! You can't say anything about this bowl!"
"Eighty million is not worth it, eight million is worth it, right?" The woman didn't discuss this with Huo Xiaodong, and asked directly about the price.
This bowl, all things considered, if it is auctioned, it is basically not a big problem to rush to about 10 million. No matter how lucky you are, it's not impossible. Therefore, although eight million is a lot of money, some of them earn. However, it is not enough to pick up the leaks, after all, the cost is too big.
Huo Xiaodong looked at Sun Zhongyuan again.
Sun Zhongyuan had been staring at this eldest sister Qi just now, and he suddenly said, "I just remembered! I have an urgent matter at hand! What is it, I'll make a phone call outside, and you guys will talk about it first." Besides, for such a valuable thing, I have to ask my eldest sister's husband if he agrees!"
Huo Xiaodong didn't know what medicine was sold in Sun Zhongyuan's gourd, but looking at Sun Zhongyuan's appearance, he must have concluded that the thing was real, and he had already said that he had to ask her husband, so he smiled and said, "Yes, eldest sister, can you really be the master yourself?"
At this time, Sun Zhongyuan had quickly opened the door and closed the door and went out.
