Chapter 254: Fame Rises (7) It's hard to ride a tiger
In this regard, the shopkeeper Li didn't know anything, and thought that he couldn't lose the face of Fengbaotang in front of the shopkeeper Yue, so after stopping Zhang Lao and the others, he immediately turned around and went out to get something.
At this time, Zhang Lao smiled and asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Yue, Xiao Li is going to get the things at the bottom of the box, do you know what it is?" ”
You must know that your peers are enemies, and whoever receives something good, the big shopkeeper of each store must know it in his heart.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Lao's inquiry, the shopkeeper Yue smiled and deliberately wrote lightly: "Seniors, don't listen to his nonsense, it's just a porcelain plate, it's not a treasure." We also have such things in Baoshan Pavilion. ”
The original intention of the shopkeeper Yue was the last sentence, but Zhang Lao and the others were more related to the previous content.
"Porcelain panel painting?" Zhang Lao was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "What period of things?" ”
"Pastel willow shade in the Qianlong period, porcelain plate painting!"
At the same time, the shopkeeper Li shouted loudly, and then carefully lifted a glass plate more than one meter long and sixty or seventy centimeters wide with an employee, and then gently placed it on the table.
"What, Willow Shade Eight Horses?"
In an instant, Bai Lao, who favored calligraphy and painting, couldn't sit still, and hurriedly walked over and looked down. I saw that the glass plate was actually a protective cover, and a porcelain plate painting was placed flat inside. The entire porcelain panel is covered with yellow glaze, and its glaze is shiny, and eight horses are depicted playing in the shade of the willows.
In the upper left corner of the porcelain panel painting, there are five characters in the horizontal script "Eight Horses in the Willow Shade", as well as two seals on one side and one ellipse. The text in the seal is the same, and when Bai Lao saw it, he read it out casually: "The treasure of Qianlong's imperial view!" ”
Then Bai Lao continued to look at the porcelain plate painting, and after a while, he carefully analyzed: "The realm of the Eight Horses is beautiful, and the field of vision is broad. And the texture of the space is extremely strong. It looks like it is Lang Shining's work. ”
"Lang Shining's Eight Horses in the Willow Shade, is it really fake?"
At this time, several old people and the big shopkeepers of various shops. They also gathered around to watch.
You must know that the Eight Horses belong to a big theme in ancient paintings. Eight Horses. It refers to the eight horses used by King Mu of Zhou in legend. In ancient times, horses not only belonged to transportation, but also belonged to strategic materials, plus myths and legends, so they were deeply loved by the world, and also made the horse picture an enduring theme.
Throughout the ages, many painters have painted eight horses, but in the Qianlong period, the best person to draw horses. Everyone recognized that Lang Shining, a missionary who traveled thousands of miles to China to preach.
All of a sudden, the entire table was surrounded by water, and Wang Guan couldn't squeeze into it. Standing outside, you can't see the porcelain plate painting. I had no choice but to go back to my seat and wait.
However, Wang Guan was also a little confused: "Uncle De." Lang Shining, I know, it seems to be an Italian, who came to China during the Kangxi period, successively served in the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, and was a famous Qing Dynasty court painting master. He has a lot of works, and I know that he is good at drawing horses, but how can there be porcelain panel paintings? ”
"Why can't there be porcelain panel paintings?" Gao Dequan asked rhetorically, and then said with a smile: "This thing is similar to a silk work, and it may also be the original that came first, and the facsimile of the later." ”
Wang Guan suddenly realized that he was a little bit of a bull.
Moreover, in the Qianlong period, it was a turning point for pastel to replace Wucai. The value of porcelain plate paintings fired in pastel is not lower than that of the original picture. Gao Dequan smiled and said: "Of course, it also depends on how well the porcelain plate painting is fired, if the quality is very perfect, maybe the value is higher." ”
"That's right." Wang nodded and said: "Porcelain made by famous craftsmen, painted by famous hands, and porcelain from official kilns, if it is genuine, it should be worth five or six million." ”
"Five million guaranteed, if there are many people competing, it is not uncommon to break 10 million." Gao Dequan said, looking at the tightly surrounded table, he was also a little happy to see the hunting.
"This ......"
At this moment, Su Yu was a little confused and said, "Uncle Gao, was there a porcelain plate painting in ancient times?" I thought it was a modern artist who thought of painting on porcelain panels. ”
"Porcelain panel paintings have existed for a long time, dating back to the Qin and Han dynasties, but the real porcelain panel paintings should have appeared in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It is first painted on a smooth and smooth blank, and then fired at a high temperature. ”
Gao Dequan explained with a smile: "In the beginning, porcelain panel paintings were just decorative things that were inlaid on the walls to form patterns similar to murals. However, it gradually became an independent variety, especially in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, porcelain plate painting almost became a must-have in the homes of dignitaries. ”
"Among them, many porcelain panel paintings are the most popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and they can be called treasures that can be compared with the porcelain of the official kilns of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty." Speaking of this, Gao Dequan also sighed a little: "It's a pity, there are always very few good things, and there are not many in the world, and I haven't seen them a few times." ”
"That's a good thing!"
Just when the three of them were chatting, they listened to Bai Lao's admiration, and kept appreciating: "You see how exquisite this painting is, the willow trees are fluttering in the wind, the branches and leaves are depicted in a fine and realistic way, and the mountains and rocks have a strong sense of layering. And the eight horses under the willows, standing or lying, three or two as companions, foraging and frolicking together, with different expressions, lifelike. ”
"I'm sure that the person who paints on the porcelain plate must be a master. It may be a famous depiction at the time, or it may be a picture of eight horses painted by Lang Shining himself on a porcelain plate. ”
Bai Lao was amazed and praised it: "The whole painting adopts realistic techniques, as well as the depth of color, the contrast of light and dark, highlighting the eight horses' spirit, fat and round. The artistic atmosphere of Western painting in the porcelain plate is strong, and the composition is arranged appropriately, which makes the picture undulating and rhythmic, and it is a perfect and exquisite work of court painting. ”
"In this way, it is really Lang Shining's work."
Someone chimed in, and immediately complained: "Xiao Li, why didn't you say it earlier if there was such a good thing, did you think we couldn't afford it if you hid it?" ”
"Look at what you always say, if you can't afford it, then there are few people in the country who can afford it." The shopkeeper Li was a little proud in his heart, and hurriedly smiled: "However, this thing has only been collected not long ago, and it is going to be used to suppress the hall." ”
Pressing, which is the so-called treasure of the town, is generally not easy to sell.
Of course, there are also real and false pressures. It's really a treasure, which is equivalent to the signboard in the store, and it won't be sold no matter how much money it is. But the fake pressure hall is a means for the store to raise prices.
Obviously, this porcelain panel painting is the latter.
"Old Zhao, this porcelain plate painting is not very good."
At the same time, the shopkeeper of Yue Da said a little sourly: "You go to Baoshan Pavilion, our Yongzheng enamel color inscription poem over the wall plum bamboo pattern plate is a real rare treasure." ”
"Our store's Qing Kangxi alum red color painted gold cloud dragon pattern straight-necked bottle is even better than their things."
"Although the porcelain of the three generations of Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong official kiln is good, it is not as good as the dry arboreal bird picture plum bottle in our store, which is the treasure of the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty."
"We have Yuan blue and white in our shop, as well as Shufu glaze ......"
In an instant, the other big shopkeepers were not to be outdone and showed off one after another. However, they didn't see it, and at this time, the corners of the old men's mouths flashed with meaningful smiles.
Beside him, under Gao Dequan's hint, Wang Guan took out his mobile phone and recorded it quickly.
After a while, Gao Dequan quietly asked, "Okay, okay?" ”
"Alright." Wang Guan raised the screen of his mobile phone and smiled lightly: "It's still the old-timers who are smart, instead of us asking ourselves, it's better for them to break the news themselves." ”
"It's good to know." Gao Dequan said softly: "Mr. Zhu Da's shot must be a fine porcelain." If there really are his fakes entering the market, the biggest possibility is that the treasures of the major stores are overwhelming. ”
The treasures of the major stores are generally more confidential, and the number is uncertain, so it is not something that can be inquired about casually. I thought it would take a lot of trouble to get it out, but I didn't expect the big treasurers to reveal it themselves.
With a clear goal, then things are much easier, as long as you visit one store after another, one by one, you can know whether there are any fakes of Mr. Zhu Da sandwiched in them.
The big shopkeepers naturally didn't notice Wang Guan's movements, especially the big shopkeeper Li, who was very proud now, and had an urge to fight for treasures for a while. At that moment, the shopkeeper Li didn't think much about it, so he smiled and said, "Everyone, if you think your own things are good, compare them with each other." Anyway, the nine respected old-timers are here, and they can be asked to be judged. ”
Hearing this, many hesitated.
However, as the rival of the shopkeeper of Li, the shopkeeper of Yue Da will definitely not flinch at this time, but said very confidently: "Compare and compare, who is afraid of whom." Wait, I'll bring something over. ”
While speaking, the shopkeeper Yue walked away, and it seemed that he really planned to share the competition with the shopkeeper Li.
Seeing this situation, it was Li Da's turn to change his expression slightly, and he suddenly remembered that the price of the Yongzheng enamel inscription poem on the wall of the Baoshan Pavilion was not inferior to the pastel willow shade eight horses porcelain plate painting. On the contrary, strictly speaking, the former is superior to the latter, both in terms of artistic achievement and long history.
"Damn Yue Buqun, it is estimated that he has calculated this correctly, so he will agree to be so happy." In an instant, the shopkeeper Li scolded in his heart, and he regretted it a little.
At this moment, Zhang Lao's eyes lit up, and he was dozing off, and someone sent him a pillow, which was really unexpected.
With such a good opportunity, Zhang Lao naturally wouldn't let it go, and hurriedly smiled: "Xiao Li, your proposal is good." Today, a group of us came to the antique city just to buy something good. However, people are a little lacking in energy when they are old, and they are too lazy to go to the shops, so you can deliver the best things. ”
"Yes, you are not allowed to be perfunctory, bring the best things, we have to score." Qin Lao also took the opportunity to help and implement this matter. The old man next to him also cooperated with the tacit understanding and urged one after another.
There is a situation called riding a tiger is difficult, and a group of big shopkeepers shouted that their things are no worse than porcelain plate paintings, and now it is difficult to change their words under the squeeze of Zhang Lao, so they have to go out to Zhang Luo.
