Chapter 201: Hollywood

Zhong Huan saw that Li Yi had picked up half a piece of waste, but he didn't care. He patted the floating ash on his hand, pointed to the piece of Baotou green material, and asked Zhong Mengdao:

"Do you solve it yourself or let Xiao Liu help you solve it?"

Zhong Meng and the three exchanged glances, Xu Ziling stepped forward and said with a smile:

"I'll come, I haven't solved the material of Baotou green yet!"

A few minutes later, the sound of the grinding wheel stopped, and Xu Ziling's face was very ugly, because the material actually collapsed!

"Impossible, how can there be no jade in Baotou green? Zhong Meng, come and see, this piece of material is not fake, right? ”

The three of them discussed in a low voice around the material, Zhong Huan frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he walked behind Zhong Meng,

"Show me the material."

Zhong Meng handed the wool to the master, and then the three of them stood aside silently, the loss of that money was a trivial matter, but this person lost a bit of a big amount, especially since Zhong Huan had already reminded him before, and this time it was the three of them who worked together.

"Don't move again here in Baotou Green, it's good to be a sample in the future, let's take a look at it from here, if it collapses, it will be a lesson."

After tossing in the small courtyard for almost an hour, all the wool materials were finally unraveled, Zhong Meng and the three of them except for Baotou green planting, the other three wool materials selected were all ice species, which also made Li Yi see the power of professional gambling stone masters, and couldn't help but secretly worry about the upcoming public market trip.

Realizing that Li Yi's level was qualified to make friends with them, Zhong Meng and the others quickly warmed up their relationship, took him around the company in the afternoon, and discussed the cooperation on the public plate for half a day. In the evening, the people sent out by JETCO Auction to watch the spring auction were taken directly from the airport to the hotel, and after a happy feast of hello, hello, everyone, Li Yi returned to the room with a sea view of the Renaissance.

After participating in the preview, Ouyang Chun's problem was solved, the level of gambling stones was also recognized, and the auction was still held one day. Li Yi lay down on the bed, what are you going to do tomorrow?

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to Hollywood Road, because except for the white jade cup. He wasn't ready to shoot anything else. But even if he participates in the competition of the White Jade Cup, he is 99.9% of the way to a soy sauce role, so why not pick up a small leak first and comfort his heart that is about to be injured in advance?

There are three antique streets in Hong Kong, the most famous of which is Hollywood Road. It has been listed by a foreign magazine as one of the ten most popular tourist attractions in the world.

Hollywood Road is the earliest street built in Hong Kong since the opening of the port, this ancient street, curved and long, to this day, there are hundreds of antique shops on both sides! You can find almost all the antiques that can be named here, and most of them are ceramics and carvings.

Descend the stairs in front of the Temple on Hollywood Road to another famous antique hub, Morro Street.

Morro Street is located between Queen's Road West and Hollywood Road since the 20s. It is already a thrift market, and now it is a famous antique street with more than 30 antique shops, mainly jade, bronze and gold and stone calligraphy and paintings.

Located between Hollywood Road and Queen's Road Central, Le Koo Road was opened in the 70s of the last century, and there are now almost 60 antique shops, Pù, and it is also a famous antique street.

I don't know if it's because of the excitement of Sotheby's Spring Auction Preview, or if there are so many people in the first place, Li Yi stood at the corner of Hollywood Road, looked at the crowd that seemed to be more crowded than the Panjiayuan thrift market, and shook his head. It is indeed different to be able to operate an antique street as a famous tourist attraction!

The streets of Hollywood Road are not wide, and many businesses have stalls in front of their stores, so it is difficult to move around them.

Li Yi, who had been touched twice in succession, walked extra carefully. It didn't take long for him to lose his patience and decide to look at any random shop, and if that didn't work, move to Morro Street.

At this time, there happened to be a shop pù next to him that was mainly engaged in ceramics, and seeing that the scale was okay, Li Yi turned around and walked in directly.

The streets are full of people. There are not many customers in the store, except for Li Yi, there are only three or five people, and when you look at the cameras hanging on their chests, you know that they are tourists.

Li Yi first habitually looked at the layout of the store, which is a rectangular space with a deep depth and a narrow left and right sides, so there are only shelves on one side. On the other side of the wall, there are some calligraphy and paintings that look old, but if you look closely, you can see that they are prints.

On the container, the porcelain placed is mainly pots and dishes, all stacked one by one, at first glance it is some modern products, Li Yi touched it twice, and after finding that this is indeed the case, he walked directly to the deeper part of the store.

From this place, the layout of the store began to change, and the entire room was more than twice as wide as the section where you first entered the store, forming a square space. The shelves have also become Bogu shelves, and various porcelain shapes have begun to appear, and some of them look quite ancient at a glance.

Li Yi first browsed the shape of the porcelain, and found that the things placed on these Bogu shelves are quite regular, whether true or false, at least from the perspective of modeling, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the early Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty were separated, so that it is indeed a lot of convenience for customers who really want to buy ancient porcelain.

The first thing he looked at was a Yuan blue and white dragon pattern elephant ear bottle directly on the ground, which was a large vessel, almost 90 centimeters high, and the upper and lower diameters were the same, both of which were more than 20 centimeters.

The main pattern of this elephant ear vase is a blue and white dragon pattern, and the theme decoration is a swimming dragon, reflecting the magnificent scene of the dragon coming out of the water and driving the clouds.

Li Yi squatted down and carefully observed the dragon pattern, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of unexpected surprise, this porcelain, at least from the dragon pattern, really has the typical characteristics of the dragon pattern of the Yuan Dynasty!

In a shop like this, it is almost impossible for an antique placed in such a position to be genuine, and now this elephant ear vase, at least in terms of blue and white hair color and dragon pattern, is very similar to that, and now Li Yi's interest comes.

He first gently touched the surface of the porcelain with his hand, then leaned in to smell it, and finally tapped it lightly with his knuckles, and then shook his head, the fetal quality is too good, this should be a modern refined imitation.

After having the result, he touched it lightly with his left hand, and sure enough, it was the product of modern Jingdezhen.

There are several large pieces next to this elephant ear vase, Li Yi patiently read them one by one, shook his head, and began to look at the small pieces of porcelain on the Bogu shelf with his hands behind his back.

Because there were no customers in the store, the boss didn't greet them at first, and after noticing that Li Yi's movements were still a little interesting, the boss couldn't sit still.

"Sir, I don't know what kind of porcelain you want? Is it for decoration or collection? ”

"Collection."

The boss nodded and said with a smile:

"There are some modern imitations here, mainly for decoration, if you want to collect, please come with me.

The boss led Li Yi to a container with a glass door, and while unlocking it, he introduced:

"I mainly have some Qing Dynasty porcelain here, these blue and white and pastel are good, you can take your time, if you need to call me, you can just call me."

In this container, there are not many porcelain, there are only about a dozen pieces, but those blue and white and pastels are indeed more conspicuous, Li Yi took a look twice, and picked up a blue and white Ruyi ear flat bottle with a relatively rare shape.

This flat bottle is not only slightly different from the previous flat bottles, but the decoration on the bottle is completely different from the traditional Chinese decoration. Its ornamentation is a series of ever-changing geometric patterns!

I first took a look at the hair color of the blue and white, and found that the blue color was quiet and even, and the whole was relatively elegant, but there was still a little fainting, which was very similar to the products of the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Looking at the tire quality, although it is not as delicate as the tire quality of the modern boutiques just now, it is also of the highest quality.

Glancing at the bottom of the bottle again, the double row of six-character regular script blue and white models of the "Daming Yongle Year", Li Yi smiled, this should be an export porcelain in the Yongzheng period, also called Clark porcelain.

Clark porcelain is a synonym for the export of blue and white porcelain from China by Europeans in a specific historical period, and there is a history here.

100 years after Zheng He's voyage to the West, Portugal rose to prominence and established a colony in Macao, monopolizing the trade and transportation between the Ming Dynasty and Europe at that time. Later, after the rise of the Dutch, they and the Portuguese gained control of the East Indies, often sinking or capturing each other's ships at sea.

At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the Netherlands captured two large Portuguese sailing ships and brought them to the Netherlands, these two sailing ships were called Clark by the Dutch, and these two ships happened to be loaded with tens of thousands of pieces of blue and white porcelain exported by the Ming Empire, which was the first time that Western Europe saw such an astonishing amount of Chinese blue and white, so Clark porcelain got its name.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, because of the war, the export of porcelain was cut off, after the economic revival of the Kangxi Dynasty, the export of porcelain flourished again, and the merchants of European countries successively stayed in Yangcheng Port, and ordered a large number of porcelain through the guò government channel. Most of these porcelains are requested by foreigners or directly provided with samples, and then fired in batches by Jingdezhen or Dehua kiln factories.

This blue and white Ruyi flat pot should be the product of the Dehua kiln in the Yongzheng period.

After verifying it with the spirit identification card, and finding that it was indeed correct, Li Yi picked up a pastel pearl box again.

Chaozhu box, as the name suggests, is a box used to put Chaozhu. Because in the Qing Dynasty, only civil and military officials who reached a certain grade or above were eligible to wear the pearls, so the pearl boxes were also valuables at that time.

There are many kinds of materials for the pearl box, including wood, tin, bamboo, lacquerware, porcelain, etc. The shape of the box is either square or ring-shaped. Officials have to go to special stores to buy them, and ordinary people have no chance of getting them.

Since the pearl box can only be used by the official family, there are very few that have been handed down, and if it is fragile porcelain, it is even rarer, and its cherishing Cheng dù far exceeds the stationery items. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
