Chapter 1139: Rare Affiliation
Judging from the current market, the old thangka is mainly the Qing Dynasty thangka. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe number of thangkas in the Qing Dynasty was also relatively large, which has something to do with the Qing Dynasty's emperors' admiration for Buddhism. At the same time, Tibetan Buddhism is also favored.
This different dynasty and emperor naturally had different attitudes towards Buddhism. For example, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a crown of fragrant leaves and alchemy, it is impossible to respect Buddhism. And the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was "Lafayette", so how could he not attach importance to Buddhism?
Regardless of whether the emperor admired it or not, there is no dispute that the value of the same level of thangka works in the Ming Dynasty is greater than that of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, it's not a little bit bigger, it's been so many years. It can be seen from the Ming Dynasty Yongle imperial red Yan Mo enemy embroidered thangka sold for more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
The starting price of 20,000 pounds is undoubtedly based on the thangka of the late Qing Dynasty. However, Tang Yi still has to look at the real thing to be sure.
If it can be determined, it is likely to be a leak, and judging by the people involved in the scene, none of these people are necessarily interested in thangka. After all, most of them are British, and the collection in China is already small, except for three pieces of porcelain in the album, there is only such a thangka. This shows that there are very few providers who are proficient in Chinese collections.
The afternoon auction began, and the thangka was the second to be on.
Tang Yi stepped forward and took a closer look, that's right, judging from the pigments and canvases, it is indeed something from the Ming Dynasty, and it should be about the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that this thangka has been re-sewn, and the materials and craftsmanship of the sewing are from the late Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that this is also an important reason why the original owner identified it as the late Qing Dynasty.
As a result, after the auctioneer shouted the bid, there should be very little, and the price increase was all 1,000 pounds and 1,000 pounds. Although it is a charity auction, after all, there are more than 30 lots in total, so you have to choose what you are interested in or know about, right?
It's also a coincidence, if it's the kind of formal large-scale auction that has all kinds of collectors, I'm afraid it won't be like this.
Moreover, foreigners are keen on the collection of Huaxia at several nodes. For example, something from the Qing Dynasty, it is naturally Kang Yongqian. This mid-nineteenth century, not much attention.
Tang Yi saw that it was almost over, and immediately shouted out the price of 30,000 pounds. In the end, no one raised the price anymore.
After completing the formalities, White asked with a smile. Tang Yi said vaguely, "I haven't collected thangkas yet, and since it's a charity auction, I'll contribute when I come!" ”
White also didn't know anything about thangkas, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Tang Yi estimated that this one was taken back to China, and connoisseurs should be able to identify it as the Ming Dynasty, although this thangka was re-framed, it was still very good. 30,000 pounds to take, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to make more than 20 times the profit, if you go to the auction, it depends on luck, and more is not impossible.
The afternoon auction was much faster. And in the process of the auction, some people talk about the "feat" of the fat-headed and big-eared man from time to time.
After the auction ends, there is a short break and there is a temporary additional auction. This Tang Yi knew this for a long time, and he didn't have much hope. There are not many additional shots, only four in total.
However, the last piece was actually Chinese porcelain, and it aroused Tang Yi's interest.
This is a blue and white pen holder.
Tang Yi took a look at it and found that it was something from the early Qing Dynasty, but it was earlier than Kangxi. If you take a closer look, you can basically conclude that it is something from the Shunzhi period, and the craftsmanship is good, but it is not an official kiln. It should be a private kiln, or a product of imitation firing official kiln but a separate payment.
During the Shunzhi period, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just entered the customs, and it was still a bit chaotic, and it could be said that it was a waste to be rebuilt. At this time, the imperial kiln factory in the porcelain capital was not fully restored, so the output of the official kiln was very small. The speed of restoration of the private kiln is faster than that of the official kiln, so there are more porcelain in the Shunzhi period than the official kiln.
This pen holder painting, is a landscape figure, a few people look at the mountains and rivers, very common pictures, blue and white hair color is quite bright, painting can also be.
However, these are not of much interest to Tang Yi. What piqued his interest was the bottom money.
The bottom of this pen holder is a "Ya" word. It's nothing. The most important thing is that this elegant character is actually Lishu!
The bottom of porcelain starts with Ming Yongle. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties was basically seal script and regular script. Lishu, Tang Yi has never seen it.
In the lyrics of blue and white porcelain, in addition to "azure" and blue and white porcelain, the sentence "At the bottom of the bottle, Han Li imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty", this sentence is that the layman can bear it.
Writing on porcelain is not as good as on paper, even if it is regular script, it is basically difficult to completely follow the rules of using the pen, and many strokes are forced to be slender and consistent; The strokes of the seal script are originally of equal thickness, so they are commonly used. But it is a bit difficult to write a script on porcelain. And even if you write it with thicker strokes, after firing the kiln, the effect may not be the same as the original writing, and it will be ugly if it is not good.
Therefore, the money on the porcelain is basically not seen in the official book. According to Tang Yi's knowledge, there is no official kiln, and the private kiln may have, but he has not seen it. It's a matter of using the pen.
There is another problem, porcelain in the Ming Dynasty only has a paragraph, the Yongxuan period is also the prosperity period of blue and white porcelain, if it is "imitating the elegance of the previous dynasty", the former dynasty is the Yuan Dynasty, elegant slingshot! The butcher's knife was iron-mounted, and the Han people were listed as the lowest class. Where does it come from?
However, this piece of Shunzhi blue and white porcelain is actually a rare official book!
Judging from the official kilns of the Shunzhi period, there are not many era names such as "Shunzhi Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty" and "Shunzhi Year System", all of which are written in blue and white, and they are quite a legacy of the late Ming Dynasty.
As for the folk kilns, there are mostly auspicious models and Zhaitang models. This word "Ya" is not surprising, because the bottom of the kiln is too diverse. The strange thing is the bottom of the book! This situation can only be an example, the private kiln firing is accidental, and the official kiln pays attention to the norms, so it cannot appear.
Seeing Tang Yi looking at it carefully, White asked, "This should be a Qing Dynasty folk kiln, are you very interested?" ”
"No, I just like the word 'Ya' more." Tang Yi replied with a smile.
Huai Ting nodded, literati, it's not strange. Seeing that Tang Yi liked it, he didn't think much about it, and he didn't plan to shoot it.
The starting price of this blue and white pen holder set by the owner is not high, only 5,000 pounds. Tang Yi finally took it for 8,000 pounds. This price, if it is an ordinary Shunzhi kiln, is already a bit high. However, Tang Yi is particularly interested in the bottom money, so he doesn't care too much about the price.
The word "Ya" on the bottom paragraph is still very skillful, and the effect is also good, and the font is complete and clear. Tang Yi thought to himself, at that time, this porcelain painter must have been interested, and this interest created a rare porcelain calligraphy.
