It's a small black square box, basically a cube, with a side length of about ten centimeters. There is a lid on the top, beveled edges, and a slight extra circle at the bottom, similar to the base, and there is a pattern on it.

On all sides of the box, there seem to be colorful patterns, but they are separated by two or three meters, so I can't see what it is.

"Closing the stall?" Tang Yi stepped forward with a smile.

The stall owner is a young man, who does not look to be more than thirty years old, with a round head and a round face, and a flushed face, but the corners of his eyes are slightly drooping, and his joy has dropped a lot.

"Yes, if you like it, I'll give you a stall price!" The stall owner nodded.

"What kind of wood is that wooden box in your hand? What is drawn on it? Tang Yi stretched out his finger and pointed. When he communicated with the stall owner just now, he had actually seen it clearly, this was a black lacquer box, and the reason why he said the wooden box was naturally to see if the stall owner understood it first.

"It's black paint on the outside, and I don't know what kind of wood it is, maybe it's a pear one!" The stall owner handed the box to Tang Yi, "This is not a painting, this is an inlay, Luodian!" ”

When Tang Yi heard this, it seemed that the stall owner understood a little, but he didn't understand it very well. It is true that lacquerware has a tire, and there are wooden tire, but how can it be possible to use a pear as a tire? The one who really knows how to fool people is not this trick.

Black lacquer inlay luodian, since ancient times, the Tang and Song dynasties developed, the Yuan and Ming dynasties have been very mature, to the Qing Dynasty, the skills reached their peak. However, this belongs to the miscellaneous category of antiques. There is no separate classification of things, and generally speaking, there are relatively few people who are proficient.

The name Raden was originally a craft. snails, snail shells, shells; The meaning of 雿, ornament, inlay. But later, it was called an exclusive noun, which refers to snails, shells, fish bones, these things.

It seems to have started to convert because of the wrong name. However, language is like this, and when there are more people who use it wrongly, it becomes right, and it has to adapt to the needs of the general public. For example, the meaning of "getting worse" became clearer and clearer at first, but it gradually became worse and worse.

"Isn't Raden white? How can there be a color? Tang Yi took it and took a closer look, and continued to probe it.

Raden is not all white, such as blood clams, but red, such as golden silk shells, with a golden yellow. However, the inlaid things on this are colorful, and at first glance they are not natural.

This box is a printing box.

It's not the small seal box we usually see. That kind of small printing box, which can be directly filled with printing clay. That kind of small printing box, called the printing color pool in ancient times, is very vivid and tasteful.

Printing pools are not uncommon in the antique market, porcelain, jade, lacquerware, mostly small flat boxes, round square hexagonal and octagonal.

This black lacquer inlaid luodian seal box is a cube with a side length of about ten centimeters, obviously it can't be directly put into the ink, otherwise it will be used in the later stage, and it will not be stamped once to make a hand red?

This printing box can be put into the color printing pool and stamps, and even a small paperweight is no problem.

When the lid of the box is opened, the process of painting the inside is also in place. This seal box is really well preserved.

"There is a color, maybe it is dyed, but I think it is an old thing, and it can be in the Qing Dynasty. The ancient dyeing process will definitely not fade! The stall owner responded to Tang Yi's question.

"Oh!" Tang Yi nodded, but he knew it in his heart. Raden is generally known, and the inlay is also generally known, but not so many people know the specific process classification.

In particular, the inlay techniques of Raden are so rich that there are three types of hard den, soft dan and engraved dan alone. To put it simply, a thick screw is used for hard screws, a thin screw is used for soft screws, and an engraved screw is higher than the surface after inlay.

This black lacquer luodian printing box uses soft luodian and adopts the process of "point snail". In this process, the shell is ground to less than half a millimeter thick, and it is finely cut, with a bit of silk and flakes, and then very cleverly inlaid on a black lacquered base.

Those who play porcelain in the antique circle know that "clam light" is a colorful luster. In fact, many of the snail shells have this colorful luster, especially at night, and the reflection is beautiful. The shiny luodian on the black lacquer, full of colors, is indeed pleasing to the eye.

However, the color of the pattern on the four sides of this printing box is not this brilliance, but the true color. How did it come about? It's not dyed, it's the color that is lined underneath before the setting. Because the snails are very thin, the color can be completely revealed. It's ingenious, and the difficulty factor is also very high.

Seeing that Tang Yi seemed to like it, the stall owner said while packing up other things, "I'll give you a cheaper price!" ”

"You make a price, I'll see how cheap it is!" Tang Yi smiled and handed the stall owner a cigarette.

"I don't usually put this thing out. In this market, there are many people who play with pears and antiques, and they are all for porcelain and jade. I'm not going to lie to you, I'll take 10,000 as a whole number. The stall owner waved his hand, "I won't smoke." ”

Tang Yi lit a cigarette and looked at Zhang Lu, "How much is the minimum?" This sentence seems to be very ordinary, but it can generally distinguish between old bugs and novices. Novices often rush to quote a price when they see something they like, or say "cheaper", and some directly return to 1200, which seems to be a safe but outrageous price.

It's easy to bargain in a hurry or "cheaper", and it's just called an outrageous low price, and people will know that you are a layman at a glance. Those who ask "how much is the minimum amount" are usually old insects.

"Dude often plays, huh?" The stall owner also smiled, "I didn't call you false." I received this thing from Guangdong Province, and the price is not low. ”

At this time, Zhang Lu also picked up the seal box and looked at it. Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, but after taking a closer look, he was also attracted.

The box is decorated all over the body, and the craftsmanship is very delicate. The most important thing is that the four patterns on the four box surfaces, people and objects, the images are vivid, the colors are realistic, and they are lifelike.

There are only patterns, no words, Zhang Lu only saw four stories, but he didn't see what the story was.

Tang Yi thought for a while, "Let's be auspicious, eight thousand, I also have a fixed price, I don't pressure you at all, if you don't think it's good, just put it away!" ”

"Dude, you can see that you are a knowledgeable person, it's not a question of whether you can press it or not. If it is put in the morning, I will definitely open it for 230,000 yuan, this is the closing of the stall, and it will be opened at a price. The stall owner, of course, confiscated it and continued.

"This thing, lacquerware, luodian, is not worth much, it is a craft money, now please have a good carpentry master, such a wooden box, ten thousand can do two!" Zhang Lu said on the side.
