Chapter 114: Cantonese Colored Porcelain
"Is that an exaggeration?" Kong Si walked around and came back, standing behind them, hearing that this big name could sell for so much money, he didn't believe it.
How to say, he has also handled a lot of export porcelain, the price is mostly in the thousands, it is good to have tens of thousands, except for a few high-quality plates and bowls, it is difficult to go to the threshold of 100,000.
"Hehe, I'm just a simple valuation, a Guangcai bowl like this, which was sold in the autumn auction of Tianchao Jiade last year, has exceeded 400,000 yuan. At present, the price of the collection of museum institutions is also two or three hundred thousand yuan. There are really not many of them that are so workmanlike and well-preserved, and you can see that the gold is not worn off at all, which is very difficult. ”
It is very difficult to know that the preservation of gilded utensils is very difficult, especially for ornaments, family caregivers, often use feather dusters and the like to wipe them new, and after a long time, they are also erased along with the gilding layer.
Xu Shaodong didn't mind Kong Si's questioning at all, although a few people stayed for a long time, he also knew Kong Si's character roughly and knew that Lu Dao was a heartless person.
"The price of Guangcai porcelain, which was painted and produced in the Guangfu area in the Qing Dynasty, has risen steadily in recent years, and now the fine products are not cheap."
"Hey! I said earlier, I had a lot of tun before, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell it, so I dealt with it cheaply! Kong Si shouted, he, a trader, is really very ordinary, if you want to say that it is purely for making a living, he is interested in it, and he has learned a lot from Tian Lao intermittently; If you want to talk about real insiders, it's no better than Wu Chen, especially since he has been in this small circle, and he has heard about the outside market mostly on the street, which is still a little different from Xu Shaodong, who goes south and north.
"Hey! Dongzi, I can't see it, I really have materials, it's not comparable to ordinary gentlemen! Kong Si stretched out his thumb and gave Xu Shaodong a thumbs up!
On the way here, Wu Chen briefly introduced Xu Shaodong's origin to him, but he didn't know much about it, so he couldn't say anything, only that Xu Ershao was a gentleman with a background.
Kong Si was not very interested in this kind of person, but this Xu Shaodong, it was pleasing to the eye, and after gradually getting acquainted, he really felt a little different, of course, as for what Ershao, Xu Shao and the like, Kong Si didn't care, insisted on calling him Dongzi.
Although it is a boast of Dongzi, but no matter how this sounds, it doesn't sound like a good word, Xu Shaodong smiled bitterly and touched his nose, does he have to set up an eagle and a lackey and swagger through the market? However, I am still quite satisfied with my own knowledge, and I naturally do not discriminate among my peers, but my luck is not as good as Wu Chen's, and I can pick up leaks wherever I go!
What kind of person does this have to be, even the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man can make him give it inexplicably! The legendary 10th Good Man? In this generation, you can step on shit when you go out with your eyes closed?
Xu Shaodong recognized that he didn't have such good luck, such as the porcelain in front of him, it looked good, and called the female clerk to ask for the price, but it was 450,000 yuan, and there was no room for this price.
"That's it in this kind of place, and the price basically reflects the market price." Wu Chen saw that Xu Shaodong was a little frustrated, and comforted him, relatively speaking, he prefers to look at those things that are piled up in the corner or under the board, obscure, there are few genuine products in them, but once they come across it, the price difference is too big!
The three of them walked around for a while, here are basically export porcelain, the most common varieties are tableware, tea sets, coffee sets, shapes, sizes, patterns, etc. are mostly a mixture of Chinese and Western, more still life paintings, landscapes, characters, Western stories and Bible content.
If it is further subdivided, there are two kinds of Clark porcelain and Batavia porcelain. Clark porcelain is characterized by wide edges, blue and white ware, and painted grids and circular landscapes, figures, flowers, fruits, etc. on the mouth of plates and bowls. The production of Clark porcelain can be clearly divided into two periods, from Wanli to the early Qing Dynasty and Kangxi, and most of them are thin.
Export porcelain in Lingnan and Hong Kong and Macao is more traditional, but in the northern region has always been neglected, in recent years has gradually been taken seriously, began to "go north", so Xu Shaodong is not much, here to see the relish.
"How's that, this?" Xu Shaodong asked, pointing to a gold-plated bowl, this small bowl is only about 5 centimeters in diameter, the bowl is surrounded by birds and flowers, there are gilded decorations on the edges, and the top of the bowl lid is zigzag.
It looks well-preserved, and the gilded decoration is also a fine product. Xu Shaodong is a little tempted, busy with work, always buy some to take back, if the price is right, such a representative small piece, it is still worth starting.
Wu Chen also thinks that the workmanship is good, the thin tire looks crystal clear under the strong light, and the condition is really good! It's just that there is no payment.
Because most of the export porcelain is a private kiln outside the list, basically there is no official kiln, and there are very few money, and in the later period, some simply drop the word "China", so if you want to break the generation, there is no way to start from the style knowledge, can only be judged from the process and other aspects.
"This is the Qianlong period, 100,000!" That little girl has been following Kong Si for a long time, and she is also standing behind at this moment, and she roughly knows in her heart that this guy is not a gangster.
She is very tired of these three guys who only look at and don't buy, this is not a museum, and the museum has to buy a ticket! Finally, seeing that they were a little interested in this porcelain bowl, they replied casually that the goods on the shelves were all set at a fixed price, although they were not marked, they all remembered them.
"One hundred thousand?" Xu Shaodong was stunned for a moment, the workmanship of this bowl is good, but 100,000 is still a bit expensive, and he is really not sure whether it is really from the Qianlong Dynasty.
"You don't have such a black man." Kong Si hugged his arms and glanced at the little girl with squinted eyes, she looked very smart, why was it so dark!
Before they could bargain, a middle-aged man with a big back, a suit and leather shoes, and a big belly walked by, followed by a woman, who looked very slender and cold, holding the middle-aged man's arm in one hand, and his little head leaned slightly against the middle-aged man's shoulder.
"It's the old cow eating the tender grass again." Kong Si saw that they didn't want to be married at their age, and their demeanor was not like that of father and daughter, where else did they not understand, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, buddy in his early thirties, still a place! Although I am a child who has practiced a little skill, I don't want to be a bachelor for the rest of my life!
Passing by here, the girl happened to see the gilded bowl, which emitted a faint golden light in the light, which was very eye-catching, and pulled the man away.
"Hmm." The man is also quite experienced, seeing the girl's demeanor, how could he not know what she was thinking, patted his hand gently, turned his head and asked the female clerk: "Beautiful girl, how much is this." ”
Wu Chen was happy when he heard it, and he knew that this person was in the system, and the tone of his speech was too obvious.
