"Red Fei snuff bottle!?", Xu Ling was taken aback, he didn't expect to see such a peerless and rare thing here. Look at the inner anti-carved landscape figure painter, non-royal can not have!
A snuff box, in short, is a container for snuff. It is small and easy to carry. In the world, China is known as the "hometown of tobacco bottles", among which snuff bottles are known as a miniature art work that combines a variety of crafts with their exquisite production techniques.
Snuff bottle is a container for holding snuff, snuff is a kind of tobacco product, originally a Western thing, after the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were introduced into China from Europe, processed and transformed into powdered medicinal materials, after smoking, it not only has the effect of avoiding epidemics, but also refreshes the mind.
In addition, you must not be misled by the image of the Eight Flags children who carry a birdcage, hold an iron ball, insert a paper fan on their backs, and tie a snuffbox like a big cigarette around their waists. It's a TV after all, and it needs to look like a hooligan. In fact, in reality, snuff bottles are not filled with tobacco leaf spices, but generally medicinal herbs!
The rich and powerful are filled with precious medicinal materials, and ordinary people are filled with ordinary medicinal materials, it's that simple!
The one Xu Ling found was obviously from the hands of the court, and some clues can also be found from the patterns carved inside, such as a small poem next to it: The wind and smoke are clear, and the Tianshan Mountains are colorful. Drifting from the stream, anything. From Fuyang to Tonglu 100 miles, strange mountains and different waters, unique in the world.
This is a poem written by Wu Jun, a historian of the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, with an extraordinary artistic conception.
What's more, the person who carved it on the inner wall is vivid, and the font is small and exquisite.
When he saw the name of the person who signed the payment, Xu Ling nodded, except for him, I really can't think of any character who is so admirable!
Ma Shaoxuan, Hui nationality, one of the four great painters of the Qing Dynasty Beijing School of interior painting, a well-known master of interior painting at home and abroad! The most he has done in his life is a porcelain snuff bottle, and very few jade snuff bottles have been handed down! If this red jade snuff bottle comes out, its value is immeasurable!
It just so happened that Long Xiaomei and the old man were bargaining, and she was interested in the teapot.
"Fifty thousand? It's too expensive! And you see, old man, this mud is wrapped, not to mention the good or bad, the old and the new, and we can't even see if there are any fading cracks. I bought it because it was small and delicate. Long Xiaomei frowned and put things back on the rags.
"Little girl, you can't say that, if it's an antique, don't you make a fortune? The old man may also feel that no one cares about him for a long time, and it is rare for Kaizi to take the bait, so he pretends to be sad and says.
"Xiaomei, you see that the old man is also very hard, just buy it, just help the uncle!" Xu Ling seemed to be a little moved by the uncle, which surprised Xu Yue and Liu Yuehan.
Xu Ling was smart, and immediately reacted, although Long Xiaomei was a little puzzled, she listened to Xu Ling's words and was ready to buy it.
"But uncle, you really have something for the 50,000 yuan, why don't you take one? Let us also balance our hearts?", Xu Ling seemed to be a little unhappy and said to the old man.
As soon as the old man saw Long Xiaomei listening to him, his heart immediately blossomed, and he didn't run away. A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said in a cheerful voice: "Yes, you can choose one." But it can't be too valuable!"
When Xu Ling put his hand on a small bowl, the old man disagreed, and wanted to take a small plate, but the old man was distressed.
"Uncle, you take it! This is too expensive and that distressed, I really don't know which one to take!", Xu Ling smiled in his heart, the old man took the bait!
"This, this is the smallest, and the value is not bad!", the old man handed the mud-wrapped snuff bottle to Xu Ling without looking at it.
Xu Ling pretended to be unhappy and muttered to the old man for a while, and left with a few girls!
"Brother, have you found something good?", Liu Yuehan asked curiously.
"I'll find a shop later, I'm not sure!", Xu Ling put the things into Long Xiaomei's small bag and said lightly.
Several people paid attention to Jubao Zhai, one is that Xu Ling's painting needs to be uncovered, and the other is that this Ju Bao Zhai has the best reputation, from the beginning of the Republic of China to the present, there has never been a word of deception. Although the appraisal fee is the most expensive in the industry, there is still an endless stream of people from all over the country who come to seek appraisal!
"Here, here!", suddenly, Xu Yue pointed to the right hand not far away and shouted happily, and several people looked up and found that it was an antique old building that covered a wide area. Not to mention the carved eaves and paintings, what is even more rare is that the eaves and the ridge are all ancient architectural forms, and the huge pillars are solid wood structures of mortise and tenon joints!
The sash doors are all antique wooden lattice, which looks very modern from the outside, but when you step inside, you will find that there is also a layer of modern security doors! They are also afraid of being stolen.
The gate is full of people, the first floor of the hall is the counter, the three walls are shelves, which are full of antiques and modern items for sale, judging from the introduction written above, there are both exquisite crafts and modern masters, from paintings to carvings, porcelain, wood crafts, bamboo crafts, broken glass products and crystal!
Even Xu Ling found a small golden Buddha statue, standing in the wall opposite the hall, I don't know if it is from the town house or for sale!
A few waiters did not disturb the tourists who were watching, and only waited for the tourists to inquire or buy before coming to greet them.
"Hello, we have something to identify, who are you looking for?", Long Xiaomei walked up to the waiter and asked.
"You come with me, our expert master is in the backyard!", after speaking, the waiter took Xu Ling and them through the side door and came to the backyard.
A patio, three side rooms, simple and exquisite!
A manager-like person came over to greet him, and Xu Ling made it clear what he meant.
"What? and the antique out to disguise it?" the manager was taken aback, there was still this thing, and the thing in it must be very large!
"That painting has a heritage, it was disguised by a disciple of Mr. Daqian, and it should be a masterpiece of Mr. Daqian's later years!", Xu Ling said as he took the painting out of the shaft barrel.
"Please come with me! It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Daqian's new work here, and it seems to be an eye-opener today! My surname is Yang, you can call me Manager Yang. ", the manager said with some excitement. Seeing celebrity calligraphy and painting is an eye-opening blessing.
Come to a door
"Master Fu, someone is looking for you!", Manager Yang said respectfully to the people inside.
"Didn't you say that there is nothing big to find Xiao Liu, I don't understand!", suddenly, a sound like a broken gong came from inside, and the fiery breath could be felt through the door.
"Master Fu, the things that the gentleman who came to appraise today are a little special, not only a celebrity, but also a painting!", Manager Yang was not angry, but still replied respectfully.
