Chapter 80: Picking Red

Huo Xiaodong continued, "Brother, you don't understand Tian Huang's market situation, it's complicated!"

"Tell me about it!"

"As I told you earlier, Tianhuang is complex in formation, so there is a reason why it is expensive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoEspecially in recent years, the price has risen sharply! One or two Tian Huang thousand taels of gold, for the best Tian Huang, it is not an exaggeration. The best Tian Huang can now rush to more than 200,000 yuan with one gram! One or two Tian Huang, 50 grams of Tian Huang, but it is more than 10 million!"

"Yes, this gram of gold is only more than 200 yuan, isn't it a thousand times!" the person next to him nodded frequently.

"Well, this is just talking about the best Tianhuang raw materials, if it is an old carved piece and an old seal, it will be even more expensive! Huo Xiaodong took a sip of tea and continued, "But among Tianhuangshi, there are superb, high-grade, general, and even defective products. There are more than 200,000 grams, there are less than 100,000 grams, there are 120,000 grams, and there are several thousand. Even inferior products, strictly speaking, cannot be called real Tianhuang, and the price is not as high as gold!"

"This piece just now, it belongs to the quality of the lower part of the general product, the year is not enough, the texture is average, and there are red tendons and cracks, if it weren't for the fact that Tianhuang is fried now, 3,001 grams is said to be high!"

Listening to Huo Xiaodong talking eloquently, the person next to him heard it unconsciously, but the question just now was still not solved: even if it is 3,000 grams per gram, and this carving weighs 23 grams, how can it reach the top of 30,000?

Huo Xiaodong didn't say it clearly, and in the end, he couldn't help but ask.

"Dude, that's right. 3,001 grams is what I said for the whole market. Tian Huang, in addition to the factors I just mentioned, there is also a very crucial factor that affects the price, that is, weight! Generally speaking, 40 grams is a watershed! If it exceeds 40 grams, it can be priced according to quality, for example, the material I just said is 3,010 grams, if it is 40 grams, then it is worth 120,000 yuan!"

"However, less than forty grams can be worth a lot of money. In particular, this carving is not only more than 20 grams, but also a thin slice, and the shape is not very good. Therefore, although it is a quality of 3,011 grams, because the number of grams is too low, it cannot be calculated in this way! ā€

After Huo Xiaodong finished saying this, the piece of Tianhuang carving was also sold. Sure enough, it's a price of 20,000, and no one raises the price! Inside, there are all players and collectors, those who don't understand don't make random moves, and those who understand definitely won't suffer.

"Brother Xiao Huo, you are really good, you have been right!" said the one next to him, and pointed to Sun Zhongyuan, "And this little brother, proficient in porcelain! In this antique circle, there are really talented people from all over the country, you two are so young, you have such a level, rare, rare!"

In the antique circle, eyesight is king, no matter what you do, when you are really faced with a thing, it is different. There may be senior officials and billionaires in the circle, but when they go to the market, in front of the stalls, when it is time to discuss things, the senior officials may bow down to the elementary school teachers, and the billionaires may be despised by the poor hawkers.

It's a magical world that, at the end of the day, is the power of culture. Antiques and antiques play with history and culture, and it is elegant and tasteful.

The exchange will continue. In this kind of exchange meeting, most of the things taken out are not their favorites, or they coincide with their own types, so although there are few fakes, there are not many high-quality products.

And in terms of price, there is basically no price leakage, which is considered to be a bit of a level, and it is not easy to suffer.

After continuing to look at a few things, Sun Zhongyuan didn't have anything to think about. As for the painting of Lan Ying at hand, Sun Zhongyuan wanted to wait a little longer, and drag it out until the end, this painting is considered a high-grade thing among these exchange items.

Huo Xiaodong was already familiar with the person next to him at this time. His surname is Liu, he is in the bathroom business, and his usual collection is mainly bamboo, wood and tooth corners.

"Lao Liu, what are you going to exchange?, why haven't you seen any movement?" Huo Xiaodong asked.

Lao Liu said, "My thing is an old imitation, but I think the year is to the Republic of China." I thought, when something shallower than my year comes out, I will go up again, and it will not be a loss!"

Huo Xiaodong laughed, "It's really yours." However, the previous Tian Huang is a modern handicraft, and it must be shallower than your Republic of China year!"

"Can it be the same? Jade things are valuable in their own materials, and my piece is a piece of lacquerware, depending on the year and craftsmanship. ā€

Sun Zhongyuan had just lit a cigarette at this time, and when he heard this, he also made up a sentence, "It won't be red, right?"

"It's not just red! It's 'Yongle' red! And there are needles!" Lao Liu joked and waved his hand, "If it's true, I'll make a lot of money!"

This red is a type of lacquerware, and it can be regarded as the one with the most processes and the most expressive power. The tires are repeatedly painted with red lacquer and then engraved. This carving is not an ordinary carving, the requirements for heat and technique are quite high, you have to take advantage of the red paint will not dry when the knife is not dry, when it is not dry, it is too sticky, dry and too brittle, can not be carved well.

If you want to say that this red lacquerware, the most famous is Yongle red.

The record of the high price of this ancient lacquerware at auction is basically occupied by Yongle Pick Red, and there are more than one or two pieces of more than 10 million things.

This "needle stroke" that Lao Liu said is an extremely rare thing. Because in ancient times, most of the red lacquerware was without a paragraph. Even in the Qianlong Dynasty, another heyday of red-picking, the red-cut lacquerware made of the paint of the office did not carry a paragraph.

Historically, there have been only a very small number of works with red lacquerware. There has been evidence, I am afraid that there are only two kinds, one is Yongle red needle stroke, with a fine needle at the bottom of the lacquer carved out of the "Ming Yongle year". There is also a kind that appeared in the period of Emperor Xuande, the grandson of Yongle, which was filled with gold, and then filled with gold after the knife was carved.

There are very few Yongle red ones that have been handed down, and those with needles and strokes are even rarer.

Don't say that Lao Liu himself said that it was an imitation of the Republic of China, even if he didn't say it, the first thing that ordinary players thought of when they saw Yongle with a needle and a stroke was probably not true.

"There's nothing good coming out now, let's take it out first! Idle is idle!" Huo Xiaodong couldn't help but smile and said to Lao Liu when he saw Sun Zhongyuan asking.

Lao Liu thought for a while, and finally nodded, and took out a brocade box from the leather bag beside him.

I opened the brocade box and took out a small red round box.

The diameter of this round box is more than ten centimeters, and the thickness is about seven or eight centimeters. The lid of the box is carved with two figures, Boya Fuqin, and the mountain and flowing water meet the child period.
