Compared with Zhao Zhuo's unstressed chatter, Tong Qizhou's brows furrowed slightly, as if he didn't expect Tong Dongyang to have such a good thing in his hands.

When several contestants from the Tong family and the Fang family saw this situation, they were all dumbfounded, and shook their heads knowing that they were invincible, although Tong Dongyang was only in his thirties, his outstanding skills were well-known in the circle.

Of course, if this candlestick is exactly the same pair, it is estimated that he may also smash one of them, so that it will not become a unique product?

The judges were also shocked by this pair of evil candlesticks, and they all thought that the owner of this thing was the Hu nobles during the Six Dynasties, and after several considerations, the judges said the final appraisal price, which was 8.8 million!

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of exclamations in the venue, and all eyes were focused on Tong Dongyang's body, although the porcelain was not his own, but one by one he also felt his heart pounding, and the Dou Porcelain Festival was no longer simply a competition with porcelain, but let the audience witness the birth of multimillionaires.

In only three competitions, there have been several contestants with more than 10 million porcelain in their hands, and no one present is not moved.

The corners of Tong Dongyang's mouth couldn't help but smile, and he was obviously quite satisfied with this price, after all, the highest price of the second game was only 7.5 million, and this pair of evil candlesticks was more than 1 million high, and the first place in the third game was already in the bag.

After Tong Dongyang stepped off the stage, the subsequent contestants appeared.

It's just that because of the appearance of this sky-high candlestick in front of them, many contestants who were originally brilliant and ready to show off their skills suddenly lost their confidence.

The people who come here to participate in the Dou Porcelain Festival are nothing more than two kinds, one is to make the collection in their hands at a good price, because this Dou Porcelain Festival is different from ordinary auction houses, although the auction house attracts many people, but it is not as good as the Dou Porcelain Festival in terms of reputation, especially the identity and status of several judges are placed there, and it is almost impossible for them to have fakes when they jointly identify the things.

However, in normal times, if you want to find these judges separately, it is not so easy, which invisibly gives the auction items additional gold content, coupled with the reputation of the Dou Porcelain Festival, many foreign businessmen are also admired, so in the later auctions will be able to auction higher prices.

Second, it is nothing more than wanting to gain fame and show his face. For collectors, some people like to put their collections on the shelf, not easy to show, no one wants to see the true face of these collections, but some people like to show the collection to others, the more valuable the more they want people to know, of course, the people who look at it are mostly people in the antique circle.

It's not that they don't understand the truth that wealth is not revealed, but it is the pride of a collector to be able to display treasures that have been painstakingly selected from thousands of fakes.

Collectors have shown their collections, but the price is far from this pair of candlesticks to ward off evil spirits, it seems that there is a fault between six million and more than eight million, and no one can stuff enough to make up for this fault into it.

Soon after, Tong Qizhou finally appeared.

Tong Qizhou has lost twice, although he took out the Qinglong bottle used by Cixi in the first game, but it was no match for Tong Dongyang's Zhang Zhidong glazed red square bottle, and won the second place.

In the second scene, the blue glazed lotus petal pattern lid jar taken out steadily suppressed Tong Dongyang's Shuanglong beast ear celadon jar, however, before the position was hot, it was successively defeated by Fang Youming and Chen Caiyuan's collections, and finally won the third.

However, as the general manager of Tong's Jade Trading Company, one of the three major industries of the Tong family, Tong Qizhou's identity still attracted everyone's attention.

China is one of the first countries in the world to raise chickens, and even in the Han Dynasty, chickens were described as "virtuous birds" with five virtues: civility, martial arts, bravery, benevolence and faith. In the tombs of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a large number of ceramic chickens and chicken coops were unearthed, and porcelain decorated with chickens was prevalent for a while, and the chicken head pot was one of them.

The chicken head pot is named because of its spout as a chicken head shape, created in the late Three Kingdoms years, in the Western Jin Dynasty to the early years of the Tang Dynasty are very popular, the double-headed chicken head pot appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is unique.

This pot is a handicap, with two chicken heads side by side at the neck, the ampulla is bulging, the bottom is flat, and there is a curved handle behind the chicken head to connect the rim.

Compared with the ordinary double-headed chicken head pot, the chicken head of this pot is very finely fired, and even the eyes and crown are lit with brown color, which makes people feel refreshed.

In addition, what is commendable is its glaze color, its glaze color is light green, and there is a kind of crystal smooth feeling, smooth as jade. The glaze layer is thick and uniform, and the tire glaze is firmly combined.

The general celadon of the Six Dynasties, its glaze is not only thin and light yellow, or brown in green, the color rarely has such a moisturizing feeling, it is no exaggeration to say that such a glaze layer is considered to be a very high glaze even if it is in the Tang Dynasty.

In the porcelain products before the Tang Dynasty, when the porcelain was baked in the kiln, the glaze juice was flowing down due to the excessive flow of the surname, and it was condensed into wax tears or glass beads in the lower part of the utensils, which was called the hanging glaze, but this porcelain almost did not have the phenomenon of hanging glaze, it appeared very full and uniform, and there were no spots, no peeling, and the process was quite top.

As for the age of this porcelain, it was quickly cut off in the Western Jin Dynasty. Because during the Western Jin Dynasty, porcelain-making has become a new handicraft industry in the south, from the washing and selection of porcelain clay, drawing and molding, hanging glaze to kiln firing, it is divided into multiple processes, which are completed by many people. At that time, excellent porcelain craftsmen had mastered the proper proportion of iron oxide in the glaze and basically controlled the firing atmosphere of the reducing flame, so they were able to fire works with stable tones and even flawless results.

However, although this double-headed chicken head pot has a unique shape and a full glaze, its overall value is still not comparable to the candlestick used by the nobles to ward off evil spirits, and the price of this porcelain is finally assessed at 7.5 million, a full 1 million short of the latter.

Hearing this price, Tong Qizhou only smiled faintly, as long as it is a person in the antique circle, they all know that the first three sessions of the Dou Porcelain Festival are used to warm up, and the real sky-high collections will not appear until the last three.

Moreover, compared with the first three high-priced porcelain, there are few fakes, and the probability of fakes in the last three high-priced porcelains is greatly enhanced.

The latter three are divided into the Tang Dynasty period porcelain, Song Dynasty porcelain and Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain, these three stages are the peak period of porcelain making, but also appeared a large number of imitation porcelain, coupled with its high price temptation and modern can be fake and real high imitations, in the previous porcelain festivals, there is no lack of millions of collections identified as fakes.

Therefore, compared to the first three games, the difference of three or four million is not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, even though up to now, Tong Qizhou has lost three times, but there is no worry at all, he stepped down calmly, and when he returned to his position, he did not forget to praise Tong Dongyang next to him a few words, although everyone looks good, but some things still have to be done for outsiders to see.

Although this double-headed chicken head pot fills the gap between six million and eight million, it is a bit unique in the subsequent competition.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged appraiser with a rather stable appearance to come up with a black glazed dragon handle dragon head pot that amazed everyone.

Although there are many pots headed by animals in the Six Dynasties period, the dragon has never been seen with the handle, and the dragon handle alone is already a unique product, not to mention that there is a dragon head?

Everyone knows that the dragon is the symbol of the emperor's house, which is also the case in the Six Dynasties, and the black glaze of the dragon head pot with the dragon handle is like black lacquer, so it is considered by many people to be fired by the Deqing kiln and is a special item for the royal family.

There was a lot of discussion and controversy in the venue, and many people believed that this piece of porcelain could be worth more than the eight million noble candlesticks.

However, the porcelain was eventually identified as a fake by the jury.

When the middle-aged appraiser heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he fainted on the ground, and the organizer hurriedly called medical personnel to take him to the hospital.

In this process, a person familiar with the matter revealed that this porcelain was purchased by this appraiser for more than 2 million yuan from a cultural relics dealer in another province, saying that it was just dug up from the royal tomb, and during that period there was indeed news that a certain royal tomb of the Six Dynasties was stolen and excavated, and the appraiser immediately borrowed more than one million yuan, and took out all the money in his deposit to buy this porcelain.

Pity this appraiser has been doing appraisal for ten years, and he has always been very cautious, but he turned over in the gutter.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard it, quite sympathetic, and many people seemed to have poured a basin of cold water and sobered up from the frenzy.

It didn't take long for Fang Youming to take the stage, and what Fang Youming took out was a group of bird-shaped cups, the cups were the same size, but the birds on it had different shapes and similar charms, which also became the highlight of the field.

However, this group of bird-shaped cups has never been able to compare with the evil candlestick in appearance, and the final price is only more than six million, Tong Dongyang's pair of evil candlesticks have been in the highest position, no one can compare with him, not long after, Chen Caiyuan also came to the stage, he took out a piece of celadon from the kiln is quite rare, both in shape and glaze are very chic, but in terms of various factors, the judges only gave a price of more than seven million, Tong Dongyang is still standing firmly in the first place, proud of the crowd.

Time flies, another half an hour passes, and it is finally Zhao Zhuo's turn to take the stage.
