Continue to walk inside, on those tall walls, there are all kinds of patterns made of cold weapons such as guns, swords, axes, etc., as well as tiger heads and crowns that should have been plundered from India or Egypt, making Xi Qing unconsciously reverie that these should have been plundered from various countries in the heyday of Britain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, these have nothing to do with Xi Qing, his goal is the list that Silberg gave him, and the Chinese porcelain on it is the main purpose of Xi Qing's trip.

Looking at these dazzling collections, Xi Qing walked to the middle of the hall, and the rows of porcelain displayed on the wooden shelves suddenly came into Xi Qing's eyes.

"This ...... These are all porcelain from China? ”

Xi Qing saw at a glance that there were four or five rows of wooden shelves in front and back, more than 20 meters long, and on each shelf, a few centimeters apart, a piece of exquisite porcelain was placed.

In the past, I often heard the antique stalls say that the best antiques in China are all in foreign countries, although I have heard a lot, but there is no direct cognition in the senses, but now I see the scene in front of me, Xi Qing understands.

Porcelain is fragile, this is a clear truth, in the course of China's history for thousands of years, are accompanied by the scourge of war, and in this process, many unique fine porcelain, have been lost in the war. Later, such as the official kiln porcelain of the Song and Ming dynasties, it was basically collected in the court of the Qing Dynasty, and it was only paid to the emperor to play and appreciate, which was rare for the people to see.

It can be said that Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were the largest antique collectors at that time, no way, the conditions are good, you can use the power of the country to collect what you like, you can't accept it.

But this is also the source of the loss of cultural relics in later generations, after the door of China was knocked open by the Eight-Nation Alliance in the 18th century, the precious cultural relics placed in the Old Summer Palace were looted and counted.

Later generations of scholars once roughly counted that there were probably millions of precious Chinese antiques lost abroad, and most of them were collected in the Old Summer Palace, that is, at least more than 1 million pieces of Chinese art were looted from the Old Summer Palace.

Not to mention anything else, that is, in the fifties and sixties, the pigsty fences around the Old Summer Palace in Beijing were all carved and painted of fine stone, and it is conceivable how precious those looted objects will be.

For example, Wu Guanzhong, Chen Danqing, a famous painter in modern China, and others have said that among the antiques handed down from Chinese history, the objects in the Old Summer Palace are of the best quality and the highest artistry.

It's a pity that the Old Summer Palace was looted by foreigners.

And at this moment, these precious porcelain, which only stayed in the legend, were placed in front of Xi Qing, so that Xi Qing, who was already prepared in his heart, was also in a mood, and took a few deep breaths in a row before calming down.

Perhaps, Picasso's sketches are more valuable than these porcelain, but psychologically, Xi Qing would rather exchange Picasso's works for these objects, after all, the production process between the two is different, and it is difficult to say who is more precious.

The successful firing of a piece of exquisite and precious porcelain requires the efforts of countless people, and the cost of this sketch painting is extremely low, a sketch paper, a few pencils are enough, but it also represents the author's hard work.

Of course, this is just Xi Qing's thoughts, if Silberg next to him learns that he calculates the value between the two in this way, it is guaranteed that Silberg will slaughter Xi Qing as a pig.

...... "These are all porcelain from China?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Xi Qing, these porcelains, since my grandfather's father, have been collecting, and I have been for several generations, there are more than 20,000 pieces in total.

Starting from the three-color porcelain of the Tang Dynasty in China, all the porcelain of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties is available, and there have been people who want to buy these items from me, but I have refused, Xi Qing, you are the first Chinese...... to come here"

Looking at these fine porcelains of different shapes and sizes, Silberg's heart was filled with pride, he had visited the treasure rooms of many collectors specializing in Chinese art, but no one could have more porcelain than him.

"You said you have more than 20,000 pieces here?"

Rao is Xi Qing's psychological quality is good, and he also exclaimed.

"Yes, it's more than 20,000 pieces, under these Duobao Pavilion cabinets, they are all porcelain, if you are interested, you can also check them one by one, but then it will take a long time, but it doesn't matter, as long as you like it, you can ......"

Silberg was afraid that Xi Qing would not believe his words, so he squatted down, opened the cabinet door under a wooden shelf, and took out an object wrapped in layers of old newspapers from inside.

Seeing this piece of porcelain, which can be rated as a national second- or third-class cultural relic, in Silberg, it can't even be put on a display case, which makes Xi Qing feel a little incredible.

However, looking around, this layer of porcelain, densely packed with dozens of square meters of space, also allows Silberg's actions just now to explain clearly, and if he is Xi Qing, I am afraid he will also pick up the best and put it outside.

"Mr. Silberg, this plum vase from the Qing Dynasty of China is not very small, and the value is not very high, such porcelain, I don't see it......"

After Xi Qing took the plum vase with enamel pinched gold wire from Silberg's hand, he played with it and said to Silberg.

However, when he said this, Xi Qing was still a little weak-hearted, although the auction price of this thing, in the Chinese art market, is about 780,000 RB, but it is such a thing, and there is not a single thing in Xi Qing's collection.

Speaking of these porcelain, Xi Qing really likes it, but what bothers him is that there are so many porcelains, he can't exchange them all by himself.

But to open a museum, you can't just put those two pieces on the table, right?

Porcelain like these, which can represent the level of cultural craftsmanship of a certain period, is still very important for a museum.

"Of course, of course...... Xi Qing, this is just some of the more common porcelain in my collection, and the best objects are all placed on the shelves, you can choose them one by one......"

After hearing Xi Qing's words, Silberg hurriedly explained, as he himself said, this plum vase, he also can't see it, imagine that you are facing tens of thousands of precious porcelain all day long, how can you put these porcelains with a medium level of firing technology in your eyes?

No matter how good things are, when you see too much, you will become numb.

For example, if you live in a house where everything is made of gold, you don't think it's a great thing, even if you know the price of gold, and that's how Silberg's psychology is!

"Mr. Silberg, your collection really surprises me, and perhaps I will consider exchanging a few more of Mr. Picasso's works with you, but ......"

Xi Qing understands the truth that you must take it in advance, he knows that Silberg's mind to get Picasso's works is much stronger than his own, so he deliberately half-said and waited for Silberg to interface.

Sure enough, after hearing Xi Qing's words, Silberg's eyes lit up and said: "Dear Xi Qing, you are really a great collector, you can get so many Picasso works, you can rest assured, I will definitely exchange Chinese friends in the most reasonable way......"

As if feeling that his confession was not straightforward enough, Silberg thought for a moment and said: "Some of my collections are from your homeland, of course, I don't hide it, that kind of means are not bright, for which I apologize." Now, Xi Qing, we are all friends, I can consider giving you some porcelain like this for free! ”

"Send me some?!"

Xi Qing wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, and turned his gaze to Silberg, these hundreds of thousands of things, just send them?

Silberg nodded and said with certainty: "Of course, in order to compensate for the harm caused by my ancestors to the Chinese, I can make the decision and give you a batch of such porcelain."

But...... Xi Qing, I hope you can understand that there is no way to give you items like the ones on the list I listed to you, because in my family, there are other heirs, and it is okay to exchange them, but if they give them, I will not agree to them......"

"Yes, of course I understand, on behalf of my museum, thank you for your generosity, as a friend, I will not make it difficult for you in front of the family, Mr. Silberg, you can rest assured, our transaction will make you a real international collector......"

Xi Qing couldn't wait to hug Silberg and kiss him at this time, this guy is too particular, although the current market value of these porcelains is not very high, but they are really Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain.

With the heating up of the Chinese antique market, in a few years, it will increase by more than 10 times, which is normal, Xi Qing did not expect Silberg to be so generous.

However, Xi Qing doesn't know what the market will be in a few years, but for now, this batch of porcelain is absolutely as important as sending charcoal in the snow to his museum.

His interns don't know that in foreign countries, some private collectors often give their collections to national museums, and some will give them to private museums, and do not charge any fees and returns, although the behavior of these people is difficult to understand, but this is indeed a real thing.

"Okay, Mr. Xi, you can pick the porcelain you are interested in......"

After hearing Xi Qing's words, Silberg knew that his performance had truly won Xi Qing's friendship.

For Silberg, if all these porcelains are put up for auction, it is estimated that the market will be washed down, even if they are auctioned slowly, and in their lifetime, I am afraid they will not be sold out.

It's not a big deal to give away a hundred and ten pieces, and Silberg's grandfather once gave thousands of pieces of porcelain from China to the British Museum.

After thanking Silberg again, Xi Qing turned his attention to the porcelain on the shelves.

Although most of the porcelain is not on display, there are thousands of pieces on these surfaces alone.

Because there were too many of them, he had no way at all, and he didn't have so much time to check them one by one, just when he wanted to touch it, the warm current actually reached his eyes, and the aura entered the pupils, and Xi Qing could vaguely feel a different breath from these antiquities.

"Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln carved plum vase ......"

Suddenly, Xi Qing's eyes lit up, and a plum bottle with a thin neck, a small mouth and a big belly entered his eyes.

"Five Famous Kilns, ......"

Xi Qing sighed in his heart, and carefully took the plum vase, which was about 40 centimeters high, off the shelf.

Baiding porcelain, the crown of white porcelain burned in the Song Dynasty, this plum vase is milky white as a whole, the color is extremely pure, and it is not yellowed because of the passage of time.

The glazed light of the plum bottle is between the glassy and the milky, the carved lines on the bottle are strong and powerful, unrestrained and smooth, the layout is sparse, and the lines are mostly one wide and one narrow in parallel, which is the unique technical style of porcelain carving in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is also the first time that Xi Qing has seen the complete five famous kiln porcelain, if placed in China, this plum vase can definitely be regarded as a national first-class protected cultural relic, even in the many domestic collection of cultural relics, it is also extremely rare.

After Xi Qing put the plum bottle back, he said to Silberg behind him: "Mr. Silberg, this plum bottle can be used as a transaction between us......

"No problem!"

Silberg replied dryly, although this piece of porcelain is considered a fine piece in his collection, but it is nothing compared to Picasso's work.

Along these wooden shelves that are one meter five or six high, Xi Qing walked forward, the air flow in his eyes was like a radar, strafing these porcelain, just walking out of a distance of five or six meters, Xi Qing selected seven or eight pieces of porcelain.

To say that there are more than seventeen or eighteen pieces that are favored by Xi Qing, but he also understands in his heart that although Silberg wants to get Picasso's works, these porcelains also have a price, and he can't be too greedy, so he reluctantly put down several pieces of porcelain in the photo.

The porcelain selected by Xi Qing, in addition to the white porcelain plum vase at the beginning, also has a purple spot bowl of Song Daijun kiln that is known as "entering the kiln and leaving the kiln with a thousand colors".

In addition, the porcelain belonging to the Song kiln, as well as the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln washing, the Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln blue glazed chrysanthemum petal teacup, and several other pieces, is the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, there are Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar, Jiajing colorful fish bath pattern jar, colorful Wanli colorful bottle and so on.
