Chapter 115: Songhua Yan

The starting price of this Qing Dynasty pottery vase is 80,000 yuan, and the price increase must not be less than 10,000 yuan each time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Chu Ning felt that it was not even worth the starting price, and it was lucky to be able to sell half of the starting price.

If anyone is willing to take 80,000 yuan to shoot it, it will definitely be in the brain!

To Chu Ning's surprise, this clay vase, which seemed to be full of shortcomings in her eyes, not only did not fail to sell in the end, but sold for a high price of 160,000 yuan, which was twice the starting price!

This reversal made Chu Ning not react for a while.

Meng Dongyue saw her expression, smiled and whispered, "Little junior sister, how many people do you think can come to participate in this auction with eyesight?" ”

Chu Ning was stunned and said: "Since you are here to buy antiques, you always have some eyesight, right?" Otherwise, aren't they afraid to buy fakes? ”

Meng Dongyue guessed that Chu Ning would say this, and couldn't help laughing: "Then you really think wrong!" ”

The first thing that comes to the auction is money, and the second thing is eyesight.

Therefore, many of the people who come to the antique auction are wealthy businessmen.

And most wealthy businessmen simply don't have the patience to study antiques.

They buy antiques, some to show off their wealth, some to raise their worth and taste, and even to launder money.

Some of these people believe in the appraiser's eyesight, and some don't.

But whether they believe the appraiser or not, they all believe in something else.

Testimonials.

In particular, the certificate issued by the national professional body.

And what Weipu Auction House auctioned, not to mention anything else, but the appraisal is definitely there.

With that, that's enough!

For these wealthy businessmen, it doesn't matter if they don't have eyesight themselves, it is enough for those who sell things to have eyesight.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the market price, it's not expensive anyway, and you can't lose anywhere.

The most important thing is that for only a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands, they can buy an antique with an appraisal certificate, and they will have a new thing to brag about to outsiders, or achieve their other purposes!

"You see that after the auction of that pottery vase, there were not many people who really offered the price, just those few people with the word local tyrant written on their faces were fighting." Meng Dongyue said, "They may not know that this pottery bottle is not worth the price, but what people bought is not only a pottery bottle, but also an appraisal certificate and the words "produced in the Qing Dynasty." This is the real reason why they made a move. ”

Chu Ning was speechless for a while.

These people are well fed, right?

That's 160,000!

If you go to the antique street, you can buy at least five of these plates!

Of course, the things in the antique street, basically there will be no appraisal certificate.

But because of this, these people would rather spend several times more money to go out than buy the one that does not have an appraisal certificate!

I really don't know if they're stupid or shrewd.

Is an antique with an appraisal certificate necessarily genuine?

Not necessarily.

Now there are many so-called professional antique appraisal agencies at home and abroad, as long as you are willing to pay money, people will give you an appraisal and then issue you an appraisal certificate.

If you pay more money, people don't even have to look at what you brought, just take a blank stamped certificate to you, and let you fill it in by yourself!

If you blindly believe in the so-called appraisal certificate, when the time comes, you won't know how to be trapped!

Chu Ning sighed in her heart and continued to pay attention to the auction of the next item.

The third lot and the fourth lot are all things of about the same value as the porcelain vases of the previous Qing Dynasty kilns, and the people who really have the vision and financial resources don't pay attention to these things at all, but only wait for their favorite lots to come on stage, while watching a few stunned guys in the field make enough efforts to shoot things they don't like at all, just like watching a play.

These things are so common in the antique world that they are so ordinary that even Chu Ning doesn't bother to look at them.

"Below, what we are about to auction is an inkstone." The host has obviously practiced, and after talking for so long, I haven't seen any change in his tone, but he is still full of the same motivation, "Everyone knows that pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are the traditional four treasures of my country's study." Although the inkstone is at the bottom, it is actually a vital part and indispensable. ”

Chu Ning didn't bother to listen to the host's bragging, so she simply opened the brochure sent by the auction house and read it herself.

The main reason is that she has a piece of inkstone in her hand, so it is inevitable that she will pay more attention to other inkstones that appear next to her.

According to Weipu Auction House, although the inkstone they auctioned this time is not one of the four famous inkstones, it is a pine stone inkstone that is not much worse than the four famous inkstones.

Songhua stone inkstone, also directly known as Songhua inkstone, originated in the Ming Dynasty and was produced in Jiangyuan District, Jilin Province.

In the Qing Dynasty, the production process of Songhua stone inkstone has reached its peak, and because of its origin, it has been designated as a palace article.

It's just that it is also because Songhua inkstone is favored by the royal family, so that it has not been able to develop into a popular scholar's utensils, and the amount of transmission is naturally not much, which is a big pity.

Songhua inkstone, as the name suggests, is naturally made of pine stone. The pine stone, also known as pine jade, can be seen that its texture is rare.

There are many advantages of Songhua inkstone, and its color system is rich and varied, which makes it difficult for other inkstones to reach. It is mainly green, delicate and warm, not solid or astringent, smooth and oily, it is the top grade in the stone inkstone.

If this Songhua inkstone is a genuine product in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the value will not be worse than the gold-inlaid jade Buddha in the previous auction, and it can be treasured in the VIP room of Weipu Auction House!

But it didn't even get in!

Could it be that there is something strange about this inkstone?

The doubts in Chu Ning's heart were finally answered when she saw the explanation of Songhua Yan in the last sentence of the booklet.

"This pine flower inkstone, after identification, is produced during the Republic of China."

It's actually a Republic of China?!

What a pity!

When looking at the picture, the inkstone was very surprised, every corner did not fall, it looks beautiful and delicate and far-reaching, Chu Ning thought that this should be an ancient inkstone with a history!

Chu Ning frowned.

On stage, the host has already begun to call for beating.

The starting price of this pine inkstone is 100,000.

Originally, the ordinary Songhua stone inkstone of the Republic of China could not be called at this price. However, the carving of this inkstone is obviously good, and whether it is stone, stone color or stone meaning, it is obviously of the highest quality, so it will be set a high price by the auction house.

It is precisely because this pine flower inkstone is really good that Chu Ning will be puzzled that it is actually produced in the Republic of China.

The inkstone master of the Republic of China, if he can have such a craft, how can he be famous, how can he make such a delicate inkstone have no origin at all?
