Chapter 293: Porcelain Auction
"Okay, presumably this set of Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup, everyone has already appreciated it, and now the first lot in this auction is open. ”
"The price of the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup is 10,000, and the price increase shall not be less than 2,000 each time, please bid now!"
"Ten thousand twelve!"
"Sixteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!" ......
Although everyone thinks that this set of Twelve Flower God Cups is an imitation of the Xianfeng period, no matter how you say it, it is also the colorful Xianfeng official kiln, so the price easily rushed to 60,000.
But by the time the price reached 66,000, there were few bidders. And although this price is not the real price of Xianfeng official kiln Wucai, in the underground auction, it is not a precious thing, and there are few pieces that can be auctioned at a normal price. After all, everyone is not stupid, no matter how much they like to collect, but no one's money is blown by the wind.
"Okay, now the No. 9 collector has sold 68,000, is there anything higher?"
After the auctioneer fell, Liu Dong raised the sign in his hand.
"Okay, 24 good collectors bid 70,000! Is there anything higher?"
With the auctioneer's shout, the person holding the No. 9 plate glanced back at Liu Dong, hesitated for a moment, and then raised the sign again.
However, Liu Dong followed up and raised the price to 74,000!
Then the two competed all the way, and when Liu Dongjia reached 80,000, the guy who was holding the No. 9 card and also wearing a mask on his face chose to give up.
It wasn't until the auctioneer dropped the hammer three times and the Twelve Flower God Cups really fell into the bag that Liu Dong was relieved.
Hold the bidding card in your hand and lean back against it. Liu Dong knew that he had missed it again this time.
Let's not talk about the ten Xianfeng colorful flower god cups. The two real Kangxi Colorful Flower God Cups alone are worth no less than two million.
Look at the way he looks. Ma Lao sat on the side and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
"It's exciting!" This is indeed quite exciting, and it is a little different from the feeling he felt when he was bidding at the Spring City Gambling Stone Conference before.
"It's just an appetizer, there's more to come!"
……
"Congratulations to the No. 24 collector for winning the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup! Now please look at the second collection, the Northern Song Dynasty Cizhou kiln carved peony flower and plum vase, now please interested collectors come to the stage to appreciate!"
"Ma Lao, are you still going?"
"You go, I won't go, I have a plum bottle from Cizhou kiln at home!"
Hear Ma Lao's words. Liu Dong nodded and walked out of the aisle that the old man had abandoned.
Cizhou kiln is not the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, from the middle of the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, more than 1,000 years have not been broken, is the largest kiln system in the whole north, Cizhou kiln porcelain because most of them are made for the daily life of the people, plus the output is large, so there are many porcelains in Cizhou kiln that have been handed down to today, even if it is a Cizhou kiln in the Song Dynasty.
However, it does not mean that the Cizhou kiln is not valuable, and the value of the porcelain varies according to its condition. For example, one piece is in the collection of the Hokutsuru Art Museum in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The fine products of the Cizhou kiln of the Song Dynasty decorated with dragon patterns are regarded as national treasures by the Japanese government and the people, with an estimated value of nearly 60 million yuan.
Of course, the Song Dynasty Cizhou kiln plum vase that was placed on the booth at the moment is also a fine product in the white background and black color plum vase of Cizhou kiln. However, the normal value is around 800,000. It's also a rare work. At that time, in Li Lao's treasure house, Liu Dong had seen two pieces of porcelain from the Cizhou kiln, which were much larger than the plum vase in front of him.
After the appraisal, Liu Dong also liked this high-quality porcelain from Cizhou kiln more than 30 centimeters high, so he spent 640,000 yuan to buy it.
After winning two lots in a row, Liu Dong attracted the attention of some people, so he did not make another bid in the following auction.
However, Ma Lao bid for a fine blue and white official kiln ware in Jiaqing at a price of 350,000 yuan.
As time passed, after a total of eighteen pieces of porcelain were auctioned out, a blue and white carved dragon pattern folded edge plate appeared on the table in the middle, and the big man who sent the auction items this time did not leave, but stood directly next to the table, obviously this blue and white plate is not ordinary.
Moreover, when the blue and white plate was exposed, Liu Dong found that Ma Lao, who had been very quiet, was breathing a little shorter, and his body couldn't help but lean forward slightly.
"It seems that someone like Ma Lao, who frequents the underground auction, should get some news about the auction items some time in advance!" Liu Dong guessed.
"I believe you have also noticed the importance we attach to Lot 19, yes, it is a real palace treasure, 'Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern prismatic wash', now interested collectors are invited to take the stage to appreciate. ”
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, when he heard the name of the Yongle official kiln in the Ming Dynasty, all the people around him rushed up, and the long queue was lined up to the root of the back wall.
Seeing this situation, Liu Dong, who originally planned to go up and see it with his own eyes, simply dispelled this attention.
However, the enveloping range of his relics has reached a radius of 100 meters, and if all of them point in one direction, then two hundred meters of unexpected things will not be able to escape his relics yuanguang.
"Huh, how can this be?"
"What's the matter, Xiaodong?" Because there were too many people and the old man Ma was old and couldn't stand for a long time, so the old man also sat in the seat and didn't go to stand in line, obviously he planned to stay until the end. It was precisely because of this that he heard Liu Dong's exclamation just now.
"Nothing! nothing!" Liu Dong hurriedly waved his hand, and his face turned back, but the look of surprise in his eyes was still there.
Because under his relics yuanguang, the so-called Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern prismatic wash, although it has a very rich white brilliance, but this rich white aura is concentrated on the pen wash, which means that this thing has not even been a hundred years, let alone the Yongle official kiln.
"I said that it was obviously an impostor, why is the white aura still so rich, it turned out to be an old tire and a new plastic, and it is also the famous 'Zhu Fang'!" Looking at the identification results on the relics, Liu Dong thought secretly in his heart.
The so-called old tire and new plastic is to use the old porcelain clay left over from the previous kiln to re-fire. For example, the famous Mao porcelain, after entering the new century, used the originally sealed Mao porcelain clay to be fired twice.
As for 'Zhu Fang', it is famous in the entire antique collection circle, and Zhu Boqin, the original owner of Zhu Fang, was once a porcelain master of Jingdezhen Jian-Guo Porcelain Factory, and a national master of arts and crafts. The technology of kiln porcelain production has reached the peak of the times, but it is a pity that although this person has superb porcelain-making skills, he is lacking in virtue.
After the reform and opening up, in order to make profits, a lot of paper was burned in the Ming and Qing dynasties. And because of his superb porcelain-making skills, these imitations are almost no different from the real thing, unless it is a respected ceramic identification master, ordinary people can not identify it at all, and such a master-level person, there are no less than five people in the country.
And this has also caused the popularity of 'Zhu Fang'. If it weren't for a collector who bought Zhu Fang, who accidentally broke the porcelain, and then found the secret mark of 'Zhu Fang' from it, I am afraid that no one would have been able to discover this kind of fine porcelain that can almost be fake.
At that time, Zhu Fang's discovery can be said to have given a heavy blow to the collection world that had just come out of the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution, and the official kiln porcelain on the auction floor was almost a genre, and the porcelain trade fell into a trough. In the end, it took nearly three years for several expert masters in the Palace Museum to join forces and clean up the Zhu Fang across the country. It was only in the nineties that the effects of this incident gradually faded.
It is precisely because of this incident that although Zhu Boqin has been shot, his reputation as the number one porcelain counterfeiter after the founding of the People's Republic of China has not been damaged at all.
It's just that what Liu Dong didn't expect was that he actually met the famous 'Zhu Fang' here.
"It's okay now, the 'Zhu Fang' and 'Cheng Fang' who are declared to be famous in the antique street have also seen it now!"
And just when Liu Dong was immersed in his inner world, Ma Lao had already come back after reading things.
"Good things, really good things! Yongle official kiln, I haven't seen such exquisite fine porcelain of the Ming Dynasty for a long time!"
Seeing Ma Lao sit down next to him with an excited expression, Liu Dong had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked carefully: "Ma Lao, do you always plan to buy it?"
"Of course, this kind of Yongle official kiln heavy weapon, if you don't encounter it, it's just that, if you do, there is absolutely no reason to let it go!" After Ma Lao finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Dong, and asked: "By the way, Xiaodong, why didn't you go up to see it just now, this is not like you!"
"Hehe, there are so many people who go up to see it, and the competition for porcelain will be extremely fierce, and the price will not be low, so I won't join in the fun!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Ma Lao nodded, then turned his head and stared straight at the blue and white pen wash on the table in front of him, and did not waver for half a minute.
Seeing that the old man looked like he would not give up if he couldn't take it, Liu Dong felt anxious in his heart, and wanted to dissuade him, but he couldn't find a reason.
"I knew I should have gone up to take a look just now, otherwise I wouldn't be as entangled as I am now!"
Just when Liu Dongzheng was having a headache because he couldn't find an excuse for Ma Lao to give up, the appreciation of the surrounding 'Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern rib wash' had been completed, and the following was also the exciting bidding link.
Seeing that everyone in the audience was gearing up and excited, the corners of the auctioneer's mouth quietly hooked. However, because of the mask, no one noticed the change in the expression on his face.
As for Liu Dong, he is having a headache at the moment trying to persuade Ma Lao!(To be continued......)
