Chapter 154 [Ghost Market Taobao (II)]

"Hey, how do you talk little girl. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info It was your friend who kicked my things, are you still reasonable? The stall owner's eyes widened, and he rolled up his sleeves and reasoned loudly with Su Yanran, attracting good deeds to stop and watch.

"Isn't it just a piece of glass, if you really want to kick it down, you will be compensated." Su Yanran pursed her lips, and only then did she see that there were glass snuff bottles on the stall, which looked quite beautiful from the outside.

"You said it easily, this is the snuff box used by Lord Qianlong, as long as tens of thousands, can you afford to kick it badly?"

Hearing this price, Su Yanran was also taken aback, and didn't seem to expect that these pieces of glass were actually worth more than gold. It's just that she doesn't know that it is a common trick of antique dealers to associate the antiques in her hand with celebrities in order to raise their value. To put it bluntly, it's bragging.

"Tens of thousands? I think you deliberately put things in the middle of the road, trying to touch porcelain. ”

Hearing this, the stall owner who sold snuff bottles suddenly exploded, jumped up from the ground, glared at his eyes and said, "Okay, you kicked my things and accused me of touching porcelain." Today, you made it clear to me, don't think about leaving if you don't make it clear. ”

Seeing that this stall took the initiative to make a real fire, Qin Fan hurriedly came up to play a round and calmed down the stall owner.

"Boss, don't worry, my friend doesn't know the rules for the first time. I apologize for offending you. If your snuffbox is kicked and broken, I won't be able to buy it. ”

Speaking of which, the stall owner didn't mean to touch the porcelain. It was because it was too dark, Qin Fan didn't pay attention to his feet, so he kicked other people's things. Originally, it was just a trivial matter, and it was over with an apology to the stall owner. But the stall owner's attitude was not very good, and when he opened his mouth to teach Qin Fan a lesson, Su Yanran couldn't help but reason with him.

In fact, as long as one person says less, it won't be so stiff, and the stall owner won't insist on them to compensate.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Seeing that Qin Fan's attitude was quite sincere, the stall owner's anger was also more than half. At his age, he can't afford to deal with a little girl.

"Boss, your snuffbox is very beautiful and of good quality."

As he spoke, Qin Fan squatted down and casually picked up a glass-tired snuffbox from the stall, put it in his hand and played with it.

"Young man, you are quite discerning, these snuff bottles were handed down by my ancestors, and they were used by Lord Qianlong. Buy it back to ensure that you don't lose money. Seeing that Qin Fan was interested in these snuff bottles, the stall owner desperately preached.

Su Yanran pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it made of glass, what's rare." ”

"Sister Su, you don't know, the glass we see everywhere today was a valuable item in ancient times." Qin Fan explained to Su Yanran with a smile.

Glass appeared very early in China, but the ancient people did not call it glass, but called it "colored glass". After the Qing Dynasty, the antique industry called glassware as material, and the glassware used by the court was called "official material".

Therefore, the snuff box of this glass tire is generally not called a glass snuff bottle, but a material snuff bottle.

Glass was fired very early in Chinese history, and the glassware of the Warring States and Han and Tang dynasties was very exquisitely made. However, due to the rise of porcelain, the glass firing industry gradually declined, so that the glassware unearthed in the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties was very rare.

It was not until after the Qing Dynasty that glass was introduced to China in large quantities from the West and was popularized in China.

At that time, most of the plate glass brought by the West was plate glass, and in the Kang Qianyong Dynasty, when plate glass was transported to the court, it was unimaginably expensive. According to historical records, a piece of glass, about three feet square, was worth the cost of two large houses at that time.

Although Su Yanran opened an auction company, their company mainly auctioned porcelain, and they didn't know much about snuff bottles and glassware, but after listening to Qin Fan's words, they finally understood a little.

As soon as the beautifully painted snuff bottle was held in his hand, Qin Fan felt warm and moist, and the feel was very good, which made people a little unable to put it down.

In fact, the process of making glass in China and the West is fundamentally different. Most of the glassware made in the West is made using cutting techniques. In China, glassware is made of stone, which is ground out little by little with the technique of jade treatment, so the finished product is very warm.

In the process of making glass, it is easy to generate high temperatures due to the high speed of operation, and the glass may burst. Therefore, craftsmen need to have a lot of patience and experience when making glass.

"Hey, why isn't this glass snuffbox transparent?"

Su Yanran picked up a snuffbox on the stall, squinted at the dim light and looked at it carefully, and found that the glass was opaque.

"This kind of opaque glass is called Acean, and there is also a translucent glass called spit."

Spit glass means that the glass contains bubbles of different sizes, and like saliva, there are also "pearl bubbles" and "egg whites", which all refer to this kind of translucent glass.

At this time, Qin Fan glanced at the glass snuffbox in Su Yanran's hand, and suddenly his head buzzed.

Although it was in the dark night, Qin Fan could clearly see that a layer of bright yellow treasure light appeared on this glass tire snuff bottle, which was very magnificent.

"This is Gu Yuexuan's snuffbox?"

Qin Fan squinted his eyes and recognized it, and involuntarily a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, he didn't expect to be able to find a Gu Yuexuan's vitreous fetal painting enamel snuff bottle here.

Thankfully, it was in the early hours of the morning, and the sky wasn't quite polished yet. The stall owner didn't notice the look of shock and ecstasy on Qin Fan's face, otherwise Qin Fan might not have been able to buy this snuffbox at a cheap price in the stall owner's hands.

"It's almost dawn. As soon as the morning dawns, the stall will be closed here, whether you can buy it or not. The stall owner saw that Qin Fan and Su Yanran didn't buy it for a long time, and urged a little impatiently.

Qin Fan chuckled in his heart, if he missed this time, he was afraid that he would not have this store in this village.

As Mr. Ma, a well-known collector in China, said, sometimes you have to make a quick decision when you are engaged in collecting, and you have to start when you see something. If you hesitate, maybe this thing won't be yours.

So, Qin Fan pretended to pick out a few delicate and beautiful frit snuff bottles on the stall, and asked the stall owner to pack them together with the snuff box in Su Yanran's hand.

Due to the dark sky, the stall owner did not look carefully at the snuff bottles, and made a gesture of eight in front of Qin Fan, meaning that the asking price was 8,000 yuan.

Qin Fan shook his head and stretched out three fingers to gestur.

The stall owner's face sank, as if he didn't expect that this young man who looked quite kind was still a master bargainer, and directly stabbed him in the ankle.

However, shopping for things in the ghost market is a bargain at a sky-high price. It's all too normal to bargain here, and no one will get angry for haggling too hard.

Su Yanran saw that Qin Fan and the stall owner seemed to be playing dumb riddles, and they also felt very interesting to compare with their hands.

In the end, this set of snuff bottles was bought by Qin Fan at a price of 3,800 yuan.

In addition to the Gu Yuexuan snuff bottle that Su Yanran picked, several other frit snuff bottles are all works of art made of modern technology, and their value is not high, but it is okay to buy them as works of art and put them at home.

The sky is getting brighter, and the originally lively and noisy ghost market is gradually deserted, and it doesn't take long for the stalls in the ghost market to disappear without a trace, as if they never appeared.

On the way back, Qin Fan couldn't put down the Gu Yuexuan snuff bottle that Su Yanran had picked, and let out a look of amazement again and again, as if he had found some treasure.

"Qin Fan, what's so rare about this snuff bottle, is it really that Lord Qianlong has used it?"

Su Yanran saw Qin Fan's love and asked curiously. She also knows a little about antique collecting, and she has not studied snuff bottles, which in her eyes all look the same, no difference.

"Don't say it, maybe this snuffbox is really played by Master Qiankun."

Hearing this, Su Yanran was obviously stunned for a moment, and her pretty face was full of disbelief, "You're not kidding me, are you, this snuff bottle is really an antique?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Gu Yuexuan snuff bottle that the court secretly played with glass fetal painting enamel color during the Qianlong period."

Su Yanran's head was big for a while, and she was about to be stunned by Qin Fan. However, she could tell that this snuff box was a treasure made by the Qiankun court. In other words, this snuff bottle may indeed have been enjoyed by Emperor Qianlong.

"What does Gu Yuexuan mean?" Su Yanran asked a little uncertainly.

"Gu Yuexuan generally refers to the handicrafts made by painting on glass or porcelain tires with enamel color and then firing them during the Qing Dynasty."

Qin Fan patiently explained to Su Yanran that in the antique world, it is customary to call the enamel porcelain with fine paintings, poems and seals, and the year of Emperor Qianlong.

As for what Gu Yuexuan meant, there were different opinions at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but it is still a mystery.

Gu Yuexuan's snuff bottle embodies the essence of various crafts of the Chinese nation in terms of style, painting workmanship, and material selection. Due to the scarcity of this snuff bottle and its high artistic attainments, the imitation of Gu Yuexuan's painted snuff bottles in the late Qing Dynasty intensified.

In the antique market, there are many fakes of Gu Yuexuan's snuff bottles and the real ones are very rare, Qin Fan didn't expect his luck to be so good, and he could find a piece of Gu Yuexuan's fine enamel painted snuff bottle in a ghost market.

But it was also because there were too many fakes of Gu Yuexuan's snuff bottles in the market that the stall owner sold the genuine product that he had accidentally received as a fake.

As for the price of this Gu Yuexuan snuff bottle, there is no unified standard.

In May 2000, Tianjin Lantian International Auction House sold a Gu Yuexuan glass fetal painting enamel snuff bottle in the Qianlong period at a price of 2.42 million yuan at the spring fair, rewriting the auction record of the mainland snuff bottle.

And the Gu Yuexuan snuff bottle in Qin Fan's hand is extremely exquisite, it is a rare fine product, and its value is not much lower than the snuff bottle auctioned by Blue Sky International, or even higher.

Su Yanran saw that the snuff bottle that Qin Fan bought with more than 3,000 yuan had risen to a sky-high price of millions in the blink of an eye, and she was also speechless, and she envied Qin Fan's good luck in her heart.

However, at this time, Su Yanran, who was driving, answered a phone call, and her face suddenly changed, and she became a little ugly.

"I just received news that there was an accident at the auction promotion that was supposed to be held in the mall today."
