Chapter 341: Three visits to the thatched house, the Yuan blue and white pot
Kuang Xiyin smiled, "In those days, with your master's eyesight, it was like picking up leaks in the market. He was in charge of the appraisal and picked out the real thing from what was considered a fake. It's just that the experience of the small restaurant is special, and I am particularly impressed. ”
Xu Beiwu said, "If there is a leak, there will be an eye, and I have also been eyed." ”
Kwong added, "The only time. I'm not involved in this, but I've heard that the situation is quite special. ”
Sun Zhongyuan was a little surprised, "Could it be that someone made a game?"
Xu Beiwu's expression changed slightly, "Actually, to be exact, it's not that I bought a fake thing, but I took a treasure!"
"What kind of good thing?" Sun Zhongyuan hadn't heard Xu Beiwu talk about this before. Because at that time, Xu Beiwu had to keep many things secret, mainly preaching and teaching.
"It's a big pot of Yuan blue and white!" Xu Beiwu took a puff of his cigarette, as if he had returned to the past······
In the early 90s, the antique market in Yanjing had already begun to gain momentum, with Panjiayuan mainly stalls only open on weekends, and Liulichang mainly calligraphy and paintings. Porcelain miscellaneous, mainly concentrated in Liangmaqiao Market, and Yanjing Antique City.
Tianxianglou is the name of the rivers and lakes in the dark, and the external company is the Beidou Group, which has not yet established a group at that time, called the Beidou Art Company, and the network has been spread out in most of the large cultural cities in China.
At that time, the four pavilion owners had their own division of labor, and Xu Beiwu was mainly responsible for identification, but he liked to run to the countryside and picked up a lot of heavy weapons, and there were also many antique dealers in surrounding provinces and cities.
In the autumn of that year, Xu Beiwu went to Hengzhou, Hebei Province, and originally made an appointment with an antique dealer, but it happened that his relatives had something to do that day, so Xu Beiwu walked around the market and missed a Xuande blue and white bowl. It was a pleasure to stay at the hotel at night.
At this time, the antique dealer called him and said that there was really something, let's go to the house and see it. At that time, Xu Beiwu actually had a mobile phone, but when he went to other places, he generally didn't bring this big and expensive guy, and he still used a pager.
Xu Beiwu said in his heart, there are good things one after another, I just got a Xuande blue and white bowl, maybe this is a good thing.
When he arrived at the antique dealer's house, he drank two sips of tea in the hall, and the antique dealer called him into the bedroom, and there was still a kang in the bedroom, and there was a small square table on the kang, and on the small square table, it was a big blue and white jar!
The jar was a foot high, and the diameter of the abdomen was also a foot, and the diameter was twenty centimeters. The blue and white hair color is blue and bright, and the glaze color is also quite good.
The picture is full, divided into five layers, and the widest layer of the abdomen is the main picture, which is the story of Liu Bei inviting Zhuge Liang out of the mountain and visiting the thatched house during the Three Kingdoms period.
However, the tire of this large jar is not particularly white, and the bottom of the tire is flint red.
Flint red, also known as loquat red, generally refers to the place where the porcelain is exposed, and the orange red with a little orange yellow color appears, which is mainly the effect of the iron molecules in the fetal soil, which will flow at high temperatures, and be secondary oxidized after cooling, so there will be such a color.
Flint red has appeared on many porcelain, the most of which is the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty and the blue and white of the Ming Dynasty, after the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, it is basically gone.
"Old rules, bid!" Xu Beiwu handed the antique dealer a cigarette and lit one himself.
"Ten thousand!" the antique dealer was unambiguous.
"How dare you speak!" Xu Beiwu didn't expect him to be so tall.
"The fine big pot in the early Ming Dynasty, look at this blue and white hair color, look at this picture, you look for it in China, find an identical one, and I will accept 10,000 yuan!" said the antique dealer with his teeth and flowers.
This is too tricky, it sounds like this thing is rare and expensive, but porcelain can only be similar, so there will be exactly the same?
Hearing that the antique dealer said that it was a big pot in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Beiwu hesitated for a moment, in his opinion, this thing also looks like the early Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Xuande period, but it seems to be a little different.
Xu Beiwu did not conclude Yuan Qinghua at a glance, which is not surprising. Now when it comes to Yuan Qinghua, anyone who doesn't play antiques knows it, but in Yanjing in the 90s, there are probably not many people who have seen a large pot of Yuan Qinghua character paintings.
Moreover, the study of Huaxia Yuan Qinghua was first started by an American in the fifties.
However, Xu Beiwu took advantage of the moment of pointing to the east and the west, and took a closer look, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was more like Yuan Qinghua. This Yongxuan blue and white is very similar to Yuan blue and white in many places, both of which are made of cobalt material from Su Ma Liqing, and there are many similarities in the tire and glaze.
If it is Yuan Qinghua, 10,000 is not only not expensive, but it is still a leak. Of course, this is talking about a large pot of Yuan blue and white with character paintings, not just a piece of Yuan blue and white that is so valuable.
But if it is blue and white in the early Ming Dynasty, 10,000 can only be regarded as the market price, and if you receive the goods, you will not make a profit.
Moreover, how can a large pot of Yuan blue and white with character pictures be touched so easily?
In the end, Xu Beiwu said tentatively: The highest is four thousand, and you can't get out if you have more!
As a result, the antique dealer didn't lift it one bite at a time, and said: Then forget it, I have something to do at home, waiting for the money.
Xu Beiwu thought for a while, "That's it, I'll go back tonight and think about it, you stay for me, and I'll come back tomorrow morning, and we'll talk again." ”
The antique dealer agreed.
What Xu Beiwu thought was that this night's work would not be sold.
As a result, the next morning, Xu Beiwu went a little late, and this big can was sold!
"Who did you sell it to?" Xu Beiwu hurriedly asked.
"It's also from Yanjing, and it's an antique shop. ”
"How much money to sell?"
"Six thousand!"
"Why didn't you carry it when I gave out four thousand last night?"
"You're too resolute!" the antique dealer laughed, "That kid came at dawn, and he brought gifts and grinded me for a long time!"
In the antique shop, this kind of thing happens almost every day. In fact, Xu Beiwu was not short of money at that time, but this kind of psychological contest between buyers and sellers has a lot of complicated colors.
Xu Beiwu felt bad at that time, because he pondered all night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a Yuan blue flower, not a Ming blue flower.
After inquiring about the situation of the Yanjing man who opened the shop, Xu Beiwu immediately returned to Yanjing.
However, this antique dealer does not know in detail, for example, he only knows the person's surname, but he does not know the name, for example, he only knows which market he opened his shop in, but he does not know the specific location.
After Xu Beiwu returned to Yanjing, he immediately investigated, and really let him find this person, but it was a step too late. When I went, even the neighbors of this antique shop knew that the owner sold a blue and white jar from the Ming Dynasty for a sky-high price and sold it to a wealthy collector for 600,000 yuan!
Xu Beiwu sighed, knowing that this big pot had nothing to do with him. This collector must have excellent eyesight and recognized it as a large pot of Yuan blue and white, otherwise he would not have paid a high price of 600,000 yuan!
A few years later, at a large-scale auction, a large blue and white jar of Sangu Thatched House Yuan appeared, and the transaction price was 20 million.
In 2005, another Yuan blue and white pot, Guiguzi went down the mountain, and the auction price was more than 200 million, setting a record.
Sangu Maolu's Yuan blue and white pot, Guiguzi Yuan blue and white pot, are two of the nine known Yuan blue and white jars with character story pictures in the world.
