Chapter 97: Blessing and Prosperity
"Take a look, how do you know if you understand it if you don't read it?" Tang Yi smiled faintly, but he understood in his heart, not to mention what was in this paper bag, when the young man said this, it meant that he had transferred more than one family, and the price of other houses was not high, so he said "understand or not", not "accept it or not".
In this antique shop, most of them are deaf and clear-sighted, and the masters are exquisite, if they can't figure out this little thing, then there is no need to mix.
"Sit down, I'll pour you tea." Mao Chai stretched out his hand and let the young man to the table on the side of the counter.
Tang Yi also sat down at the table. The young man then took out the contents of the paper bag.
A pair of bowl-shaped things, an octagonal pen holder. The color is deep red, moist and pleasant.
On the bowl-shaped thing, there is a lotus longevity pattern, as if molded, and the octagonal pen holder is extremely elegant. These things are all made from one material.
Calabash.
The gourd is widely loved in China. Because the Chinese people pay attention to a moral in everything, the gourd is homophonic "Fulu", and there is "vine". "Man" is homophonic with "Wan", and "Mandai" is homophonic with "Wandai". The gourd is naturally "Fulu Wandai".
The dried gourd, the color is yellow like gold, with the play, it gradually turns red, the slurry is oily, and the color is gratifying. In today's cultural toy market, there are many people who play gourds, both large and small, all of which have their own merits.
It's just that the utensils brought by the young man have been made again, such as this pair of bowl-shaped things, which obviously cut the lower part of the gourd and inlaid with a red sandalwood circle. The octagonal pen holder should be made with a mold when the gourd has just borne fruit, and finally grows into such a man-made shape, and the mouth edge and bottom of the octagonal pen holder are also inlaid with red sandalwood.
This gourd artifact has a special name, called a gourd ware. Nowadays, the most popular cricket cage is the cricket cage, the cage body is a specially set of special-shaped gourds, there are various forms such as chicken heart shape, and the materials of the cage cover are even more diverse, ivory mahogany is very common. It's just that many people are used to play with it now, and few people really use it to raise crickets.
Whatever you play, you have to pay attention to the origin, right? It's like a wrench, which was originally used to open bow gauntlets, but ended up purely as a decoration and plaything.
"These are a few pieces, right?" Tang Yi looked at the East and West Dao.
"Abandonment? Don't offer it directly? The young man looked surprised.
"Uh・・・・・・" Tang Yi had a black line, and had to explain again, "The word 'Kuang' is the meaning of the gourd utensil, the word 'Kuang' on the left, a 'bag' on the right, not a throw." ”
"Oh・・・・・・ I know it's made of gourds, but I don't know there's such a name, these things have been around for years, right?" The young man was a little embarrassed, but then asked anxiously.
Tang Yi watched it for a long time just now, and he already had the bottom, "The old man at home is playing, right?" ”
"Oh, don't look at your youth, you really know how to do it, this is my grandfather's relic. The old man has a lot of things, I came back late from a trip to other places, and I grabbed a few of them! The young man smiled.
"Nima, his grandfather died, and he can still laugh. What the fuck did you say you didn't grab anything when you came back late, what kind of bastard thing is this! Tang Yi scolded in his heart, "Such a turtle grandson can't be given to him at all!" ”
"It's a bit of a year, that is, a few decades, and you know that gourds, which are everywhere, are really worthless." Tang Yi frowned slightly, looked at the young man and said.
"No, my grandfather has no cheap things, my lobby brother took a plate, it is said to be worth hundreds of thousands!" The young man seemed to be in a hurry.
"Big plate, huh? Porcelain, right? Is this comparable to a gourd? Don't worry, take a sip of tea first. Mao stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for the young man.
"That's ・・・・・・," the young man's eyes dimmed.
"I think you must have transferred more than one, this thing, it looks good, but the material is too ordinary, besides, the gourd thing, what's too old?" Tang Yi continued, this can be regarded as directly starting to fool.
To say that this piece of art appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was very popular among the people from the beginning. In the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was introduced into the court and used by the royal family. Emperor Kangxi is a typical representative, who once planted gourds in Fengze Garden in Yingtai, and also sent special personnel to manage them, creating a lot of classic artworks.
How did this young man know this, he was immediately confused by Tang Yi, and couldn't help asking, "Then you say, how much are these things worth?" ”
"This pair of bowl-like things should be chess baskets, used for chess pieces, you see the pattern on it, it is not carved, it is grown with a mold; Not to mention this octagonal pen holder, how can a gourd grow like this? How much is the material worth for an antique? What is valuable is craftsmanship, and to put it bluntly, it is artistic value. But this puts a mold on the gourd, and anyone can do it! You say, don't you? ”
Tang Yi's spray directly soaked the young man's heart cold. He did go to two shops, but he didn't go to the right place at all, both of which were shops that mainly engaged in jade, and one of the owners only glanced at them, and he didn't bother to get started; The other only took a fancy to this pen holder, and thought it was a little interesting, plus the inlay of red sandalwood, and opened a cap price of 1,000.
With this experience, and now listening to Tang Yi say this, the young man completely feels that these things are worthless.
Tang Yi didn't rush to bid, it was this effect that he wanted, and when the young man was depressed, he stretched out a finger.
"You also drive a thousand?" The young man was anxious, and said that he leaked his mouth, "This gourd is also inlaid with red sandalwood, just this, it's not more than that, right?" ”
Hey, he still knows red sandalwood! Tang Yi smiled and pointed to the corner of the counter, "There are a few strings of 2.0 red sandalwood bracelets there, with small holes in the circular line, you can take 500 strings." ”
This price is not high, but Tang Yi did not lie to him, 500 is indeed his purchase price. Regarding the price of red sandalwood, there are many ways to do it.
Rosewood, just a simple name, refers to the Indian small-leaved rosewood, the scientific name is sandalwood rosewood, is indeed a very valuable kind of mahogany. As the saying goes, ten sandalwood is nine empty, red sandalwood is hard to find, some furniture is naturally quite expensive, but the small material for making wooden beads is naturally much cheaper.
This is one of them. Second, they are all red sandalwood materials, materials and materials are not the same, old materials, high-density materials, full of Venus materials, of course more expensive, but ordinary materials, ordinary people can afford to play, now India has planted a fast forest, new materials are naturally not expensive.
Tang Yi sprayed the red sandalwood again, and the young man finally couldn't hold it anymore and said, "You add a little more." ”
