Chapter 909: The Gift Has Fallen

PS: Updated, ask for a few more monthly passes, please support more, thank you.

After copying the Bible, the staff took out something that Wang Guan was more interested in.

"Hey, it's like this." Fang Mingsheng glanced at it and felt quite surprised: "That should be a shield, right?" ”

"That's right, it's a shield." Mr. Anderson chuckled and explained, "A relic from the Crusades, supposedly something used by some valiant general. ”

It is said that the word is more ingenious, maybe true, or it may be a rumor. The thing is here, as for whether you believe it or not, that's a matter of the benevolent and the wise. Some people expressed skepticism, and naturally there would be no bidding. Of course, there are also people who are convinced, and keep raising their cards, looking like they are determined to win.

Participating in the auction is like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. It's really hard to tell who loses and who earns. But there is no doubt that the auctioneer, as an intermediary, must be fueling the fire, and he can't wait for everything to be auctioned for sky-high prices.

However, the shield was somewhat suspicious, but the sky-high price was impossible, and the competition settled after a few minutes. A buyer in his thirties had the last laugh, but the price did not exceed that of Mr. Anderson's Bible.

The auctioneer was not disappointed either. After a short break, we moved on to the next auction. At this time, the things taken out by the staff were more eye-catching, and they attracted the attention of the audience before they were served.

It's not big, it's round and flat, but it's a delicate coin. The silver coin was engraved with some strange patterns for Wang Guan, and there were also relatively simple letters, but I don't know what they meant.

"This is the currency of the Plantagenet dynasty."

At this time, Aftertaste smiled beside him: "This kind of coin is relatively rare, and the price is relatively high." ”

The Plantagenet Dynasty, Wang Guan had heard of, seemed to be the most powerful dynasty in England in the Middle Ages. He ruled England for more than 300 years, and among them was a king known as Richard the Lionheart. There are also the historical events of the Hundred Years' War. Wang Guan has a little impression of this person, but as for the rest, it is completely unclear.

But it doesn't matter, ancient Chinese coins are valuable, so it is naturally impossible for ancient British coins to fall in price.

In fact, when the auctioneer advertised the offer, many people present were swarming with their signs, and even Mr. Paul couldn't help but join in the fun. However, there were also those who were indifferent, and among them was Mr. Anderson, who had no intention of raising his cards until the auctioneer made a final decision.

See this. Wang Guan was curious: "Does Mr. Anderson think things are bad?" ”

"It's not bad, it's not what I want." Mr. Anderson laughed: "I am not British, so I am naturally not as enthusiastic about British ancient coins as they are. ”

Wang Guan suddenly realized, and was a little embarrassed to ask: "By the way, I haven't asked for advice yet, where is Mr. Anderson from?" ”

"I'm an Italian citizen." Mr. Anderson laughed, "But according to your Chinese habits, I should be classified as a Jew." ”

"Huh."

For a moment, Wang Guan was a little surprised, but there was a feeling of expectation. After all, as shrewd as Mr. Anderson. The characters who have traveled around the world but are like fish in water are indeed exactly the same as the Jewish people in everyone's impression.

While the two were chatting, several more lots were sold. At the same time, the staff laid out an item. Finally, Wang Guan faced it squarely, and he was really eager to participate in the auction. Through the large curtain, everyone can see it very clearly. The item is said to be a piece, but rather a combination, a combination of a cup and a saucer.

"Pastel gold medallion emblem cup!"

This is a Chinese description. But things are full of Western style. I saw that the cup and saucer were as white as warm jade, but the ornamental pattern on the cup was mainly a shield, which should be some kind of badge. There are still some letters and words on it, and it is painted with a pattern surrounded by small yellow flowers and green leaves. In addition, the inside of the cup and the rim of the tray are also painted with gold and green climbing plants.

All in all, it's a product of East meets West. From the degree of delicacy and luxury, you can know that this thing is not only export porcelain, but also like a specially customized item.

“ELLSBO!”

At this moment, a word burst out of Mr. Anderson's mouth, and his eyes were full of interest.

"What do you mean?" Wang Guan heard the words clearly, but he didn't understand the specific meaning, so he had to look at the aftertaste, hoping that he could give an explanation.

"Elispo!"

The aftertaste then explained, don't forget, he specializes in overseas porcelain, and he has some knowledge of the origin of this thing, or after seeing the ornamentation: "As far as I know, there is an Ilespor manor on the Dutch island near Gothenburg, and perhaps this cup is the daily utensils that the owner of the manor specially sent to China to customize." ”

"Yes, that's it."

At this time, the auctioneer began to introduce the origin of the things, and while listening, Yu Wei nodded and said: "It is indeed the thing that the owner of the manor specially ordered in China during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty." It should also be regarded as a Guangcai ......"

Although the policy of closing the country to the outside world in the early Qing Dynasty was actually closed, overseas trade was not completely blocked, and there was still a port for trade in Guangzhou, so the trade was very prosperous. During that period, foreign merchants came to Guangzhou almost every day to purchase large quantities of silk, porcelain, and tea. At the same time, in order to meet the privileges of foreign nobles, some people naturally took over the purchase and sale of custom porcelain.

However, because there are too many people who customize porcelain, in order to save time, some businessmen simply make all kinds of blanks in the porcelain, and then pull them to Guangzhou, let the customized people choose the blanks, and then ask the craftsmen to process and paint the gold. This is the prototype of Guangzhou weaving gold color porcelain, and then after more than 100 years of development, a new brand was finally formed.

In any case, the thing is not only old enough, but also has the style of the East and the West, which is very in line with the public's aesthetics. So at this time, the auction price is definitely rising.

Originally, Wang Guan was going to raise his cards, but when he saw Fang Mingsheng and Yuwei making a move, he didn't join in the excitement. It turns out that he was right not to make a move, with Fang Mingsheng's net worth, as long as he really wants to buy something, there is no reason why he can't buy it. So after a fierce competition, Fang Mingsheng finally overwhelmed the crowd and took pictures of things.

Seeing a Chinese laugh to the end, a group of foreigners did not react in particular. After all, in recent years, Chinese collectors have traveled all over the world, and they can be found in large and small auction houses, so it is no surprise to everyone.

It was Fang Mingsheng, after taking pictures of things, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "I have a gift for visiting Mr. Hill." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little sudden, vaguely feeling that this Mr. Hill should be Fang Mingsheng's friend in the UK, that is, the unlucky guy who forgot the password of the treasure house......

At the same time, in Wang Guan's deep groaning, the next thing will shine on the stage, and it will be the Qing Fang Brother Kiln Guanerzun. The east and west are based on a long neck and belly, the epaulettes are double-pierced, and the high hoops are outward-skimmed. The vessel is tall, calm, slender and straight, full and dignified.

The surrounding body is applied with gray-white glaze of different sizes, the glaze is thick and moisturized, bright and smooth, and the surface of the vessel is called the gold wire because of the different shades, the characteristics are obvious, and the ancient meaning is full.

As one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Ge kiln is famous for its firing characteristics of gold wire and purple iron feet. At the same time, because of the uncertainty of the firing age and the origin of firing, it has become an unresolved issue in the history of ceramics. Due to its mystery and the rarity of things, the kiln has always been a coveted treasure for collectors throughout the ages.

In the Qing Dynasty, the treasures of the kiln were very scarce, and only a very small part of them were handed down, which could not meet the needs of the emperor and ministers, so imitations naturally came into being.

There are records that most of the firing of imitation Song porcelain in the Qing Dynasty started from Yongzheng, and the imitation was very successful. One is the black fetal bone, and the glaze color is mainly imitated by the glazed porcelain, which has the characteristics of purple iron foot and gold wire. The other is a white tire, which replaces the purple iron foot with the method of coating the glaze edge, and the artistic effect is slightly inferior.

Now the staff presents the ear Zun, which is a white-tired imitation kiln, with large and small cracks, which are very ancient and natural, and full of unique charm.

For such things, not only Mr. Anderson and Mr. Paul were interested, but even the aftertaste was also geared up, and reminded softly: "The thing looks good, and I plan to fight for it, so don't grab it from me." ”

The aftertaste is to prevent trouble before it happens, so as not to compete with the cranes and mussels, and the fishermen benefit.

Speaking of which, the fact that the Chinese are not united has repeatedly been vividly demonstrated in the auction hall. If it's a domestic auction, I won't say much, it's just a competition with my own people, and it's understandable. However, in foreign auctions, many times it is still infighting with one's own people. Often, bidding comes at the end, and it's always a few Chinese buyers who are raising their prices.

And there is also one of the most hateful situations, when the price is raised to a sky-high price, the person regrets it afterwards, and would rather give liquidated damages than things. This is simply a deliberate attempt to smear China, which has caused a very bad impact.

Therefore, some famous collectors always repeatedly advise everyone in the program that collecting needs to be done within their means, in fact, they are implicitly expressing their dissatisfaction. After all, as compatriots, they are the same group in the eyes of outsiders, they are ashamed, and everyone is disgraced.

It may be that I have experienced this kind of thing a lot, and I said hello in advance after the aftertaste.

Wang Guan didn't think much about this, and immediately nodded in agreement. Since he likes the aftertaste, it doesn't matter if he gives it to him, unless he gives up the bid on the way, then Wang Guan will consider whether to take over.

In addition, compared with the heraldic bowl just now, the competition of this imitation brother kiln is more intense. After seven or eight minutes, the scene gradually slowed down.

At this moment, there were only four or five people left holding up their cards to make offers, and among them was Yuyu, and Mr. Paul. However, Mr. Anderson has not made a move, and I don't know if he intends to kill at the last minute like the last shot...... (To be continued......)
