Chapter 488: Identifying Suspicions
Both pieces of chalcedony are beautiful and precious, but their preciousness is based on these naturally occurring patterns, and if they are processed, their value will not rise but fall.
Truly beautiful jewelry, of course, will have some requirements for materials. But like chalcedony, it is not a material that wins by texture, but mainly by color matching, and more, what is needed is the ingenuity of the jade carver, and the test is the design and carving level of the jade carver.
Therefore, in addition to these two pieces, Li Yi chose two more pieces of material that are popular in color, but obviously better conceived.
The hardness of chalcedony is only slightly lower than that of jadeite, but the price is very different, and if the master allows him to start practicing jade carving, it should be a good material to try his hand.
helped Lu Ningshuang choose two pendants, Li Yi and the others were about to leave, when they suddenly saw a few people running in a hurry in the aisle outside the store, shouting excitedly as they ran:
"Hurry up, Master Zheng is here, let's ask him for advice!"
"Yes, the big experts who have been on TV for a long time, I didn't expect to visit the metropolis, which shows that there are really real guys here......"
"Hurry up and go home and get something, we'll try to keep him for a while......"
The boss obviously heard their discussion, and saw that the two were a little puzzled, and said with a smile:
"Master Zheng is an expert guest of a treasure appreciation show on our side, and enjoys a high reputation among the people. If you two have any porcelain that you can't see, you can also take it and ask him to help show it......"
Li Yi shook his head, while Lu Ningshuang nodded.
is also a response, Li Yi means no, and Lu Ningshuang said that he knows, thank you.
But many times, the same action is interpreted completely differently in the eyes of different people. Therefore, when the boss saw Lu Ningshuang nodding, he thought that she wanted to go, and couldn't help but smile and said:
"It just so happens that I received something a few days ago, and it's a little unreal, so let's go together."
Seeing that the boss really took out something from the cabinet, Li Yi smiled and shook his head, it's okay to go and take a look, if someone really goes home to get something to be identified, maybe he can come across a few good folk treasures, those things, usually want to find nowhere to find them.
The boss packed up his things and prepared to close the store and go out, while Li Yi was looking at the thing he took out.
This is a red glazed celestial globe vase, about 12 cm high, with a straight mouth, a corset neck, and a bulging belly. The shape of the vessel is dignified and generous, the glaze is moist and thick, the glaze is smooth and bright, and it has quite charm.
The mouth of this bottle is rose-violet-blue and colorful, which should be caused by kiln changes. The bottle body is bright and calm, the bottom of the foot is exposed, the tire is white and solid, and the double-row six-character "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" is very clear, and it looks very good.
The Tianqiu vase is a kind of porcelain shape that is deeply influenced by the culture of West Asia, which was created and burned in the Jingdezhen kiln during the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty.
Because its round belly is larger than the slender neck, as if it fell from the sky, it is called the celestial ball bottle.
In the Ming Dynasty, the fetal bones of the celestial ball bottle were thick, and the blue and white were mostly seen, and the seawater dragon pattern was precious, and most of them were large.
The celestial sphere of the Qing Dynasty had a slightly longer neck and a rounder abdomen, and many delicate vials appeared. Its glaze color also becomes diverse, common blue and white, pastel, purple glaze, Lang red, five colors and other colors.
During the Qianlong period of Yongzheng, the number of firing of Tianqiu bottles reached a peak, and most of the ones that have been handed down today are also fired in these two periods.
Lang red glaze is a kind of red glaze burned by imitating the ruby red glaze of Xuande in the Qing Dynasty. Because it was successfully imitated when Lang Tingji, the pottery official of Jingdezhen at that time, supervised the kiln affairs, it was named after his surname, also known as Lang Hong.
The market price of the Qianlong Lang red glazed Tianqiu bottle with a complete shape is about 5 million soft sister coins, and the boss's piece is more precious because of the kiln change, Li Yi estimates that it will be worth at least more than 7 million.
After a brief tidying up, Li Yi and the three of them went out and walked towards the place where the flow of people gathered.
The place where Master Zheng is located is a small square at the entrance of the mall, and when Li Yi and the others arrived, there were already about forty or fifty people gathered here, and it can be seen from the boss's constant greetings that a large part of it is the shopkeeper here.
In the center of the crowd, there is an open space surrounded by security guards hand in hand, in the middle of the open space, there is a table and a chair, a white-haired, dignified, calm old man is sitting on a chair, holding a pastel saucer and looking carefully.
On one side of the crowd, under the maintenance of security guards, more than a dozen collectors lined up, all holding their own collections in their hands, waiting for the master's appraisal.
The two followed the boss to the side of the queue, the boss was at the end of the line, and Li Yi slowly walked forward from the end of the line, he was looking at the antiques in the hands of these people.
"That kid was so lucky just now, the plum vase he bought for 20,000 euros, Master Zheng actually estimated it at NT$28 million, and he made a fortune now."
"Hehe, the pastel bamboo plum vase in the Kangxi period is a rare object in itself, Master Zheng's price is still a bit conservative, I estimate that if it is auctioned, it is likely to break through 40 million!"
"Which one? Are people still here? I was just looking for a pastel plum vase......"
"Hehe, Lao Wang, forget it, after Master Zheng's eyes, do you still want to pick up the leak?"
"Don't talk, Master Zheng is going to comment on this pastel!"
For a while, the scene was quiet, Master Zheng glanced at the crowd, and put the pastel plate on the table.
"This Yongzheng pastel begonia pattern dish, the shape is light and elegant, the painting is fine, the color is evenly beautiful, and it is an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty after identification."
The collector's hands trembled with excitement when he heard Master Zheng's comments in front of him, but he didn't expect the final conclusion to suddenly take a sharp turn, this piece is actually an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty?!
"Then, master, is this porcelain still worth anything?"
When Master Zheng heard this, he laughed loudly,
"How can it not be worthless? Imitations in the late Qing Dynasty are also rare treasures, you only spent 50,000 when you received it, and the current market price is six times, 300,000! ”
Hearing that the pastel disc was worth 300,000, the Tibetan patriarch spit out a breath of turbidity, and after thanking Master Zheng, he turned around and walked out of the exit left by the security guard, and as soon as he came out, four or five people surrounded him.
"Sir, do you sell this saucer? I'll give 320,000! ”
"I'll give 330,000!" "360,000!"
The other people waiting for the appraisal looked at that person enviously, Master Zheng's words, a thousand words, no, in the blink of an eye, a plate estimated at 300,000 rose to 360,000!
"I don't know how much my plate is worth......"
Coincidentally, the man at the head of the queue was also holding a piece of pastel porcelain, but his one was not a plate, but a pastel plate.
The shape of the plate and the plate are similar, and many people who have not been in contact with antiques for a long time are easily confused, but in fact, the two are relatively easy to identify.
To put it simply, the plate is larger, the plate is smaller, and then the plate is deeper, the plate is shallower, this kind of only need to look at a few more pieces, and it will naturally be able to distinguish clearly.
This person didn't even figure out what his own collection was, but he also learned from others to play with the collection, Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head and said:
"Sir, can you show me this pastel plate?"
Unexpectedly, before his words fell, an uncle in second place was unwilling,
"Young man, this is precious ancient porcelain, do you understand? Moreover, the porcelain can't be handed, so I'll show you, if it breaks, who is it? And ......"
Li Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly, I just understand, so I wanted to take a look at this market, but it's yours, a fake thing, I'm not interested in it!
Seeing that the two wanted to argue, the middle-aged man in the first place hurriedly waved his hand and directly handed over the pastel plate.
"It's okay, let's take it and see it, it's not a valuable thing in the first place......"
Li Yi said thank you and carefully took the porcelain plate. As soon as he got his hands on the thing, his brow raised. He was indeed not mistaken, this one didn't know what he was collecting!
Li Yi dared to guarantee that if he was still called worthless, then none of the porcelain present today would dare to claim to be valuable, including the boss's Hong-glazed Tianqiu bottle!
The porcelain plate is large, with a diameter of almost 30 cm.
In the picture, a pastel-painted plum tree stretches along the outer wall of the plate, and two bees fly around it, and the moon season blooms on the plate, accompanied by Ganoderma lucidum and young bamboo.
The whole picture is rendered by the boneless painting method in traditional painting, the glaze is suitable for shade, the color is soft, and the composition is elegant and concise, with fine brushwork. On the outsole of the plate, there is also a blue and white book "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" six-character two-line regular script recognition.
This is a real Yongzheng Dynasty pastel flower pattern plate, its value should be around 8 million soft girl coins, 1 million more expensive than the boss's Tianqiu bottle!
"This big plate is really good and valuable."
Li Yi smiled and returned the plate to the man, but before the man could speak, the old man behind him sneered again, and was about to speak, when suddenly the security guard came over and said to the middle-aged man:
"Please prepare, I'll be done right now."
Master Zheng now sees this piece as a fake, and when the results are announced, although the collector is unwilling, he can only leave with the collection. Then, the middle-aged man walked into the circle under the leadership of the security guard and put his pastel plate on the table in front of Master Zheng.
This piece of Yongzheng pastel over the branch flower pattern plate, the shape is dignified and heavy, the painting is fine, the color is soft, and it is identified as a refined imitation of the Daoguang period. Market estimate, 10 million! ”
As soon as this price came out, the middle-aged people couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the onlookers also sounded a burst of gasping sound one after another, and the people who were still queuing were even more nervous.
"An imitation from the Daoguang period?"
In the crowd, Li Yi's brows tightened.
The pastel plate just now, to be honest, is a treasure with a wide opening, with his current level, he dares to conclude that it is true without relying on the spirit card, but this is said to be a very famous, and often on TV ancient porcelain expert, how could he give such an appraisal result?
PS: I'm sorry, I'm late, and I'm so busy when I get up, but don't worry, three more will definitely be guaranteed! Ask for votes! (To be continued.) )
