Chapter 20 Hong Xian porcelain
At this moment, Zhao Zhuo's eyes were attracted by a pastel bottle on a stall in the corner.
The pastel vase was similar to the one he had seen in Mach's house, and although it was not brightly lit, he could clearly see the pastel on it, and there was a large opening missing from the mouth.
He squatted down and picked it up and looked at it carefully, and the one that suddenly appeared below was also the "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty".
The stall owner pretended to be mysterious and said: "Little brother, this is the official kiln goods of the Yongzheng Dynasty, it was stolen from the tomb of a Qing Dynasty official, a rare boutique, you have to look at it quickly, there are many people who want this thing." ”
"This is a Republic of China product." Mo Ling leaned closer to distinguish it, and was just about to nod firmly, when his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Big brother, this shouldn't be ......?"
Zhao Zhuo also nodded slightly, when he looked at it from a distance, it was true that this pastel bottle did look like a genuine product, but when he looked closely, there was an obvious feeling of Republic of China goods, however, this was not a simple Republic of China product.
So, Zhao Zhuo asked quietly, "How much?" ”
"Hey, thirty thousand!" The stall owner laughed.
Ji Xiaofan was picking up a small bowl of the flashlight on the identification stall, and when he heard him say this, he said with a smile: "How can this Republic of China goods be worth so much, at most five hundred yuan." ”
When the stall owner saw that he met a master, he smiled and said, "Five hundred yuan is a bit less......
At this moment, a voice interjected and said, "Yo, Ji Shao, you are so lucky, you picked a big leak for five hundred yuan." ”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Zhuo turned his head to look over, and saw that it was a young man in black who spoke, this young man had a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, a fat nose, and thick lips, although he looked older than his actual age, but Zhao Zhuo guessed that he was about the same age as himself.
As soon as Ji Xiaofan saw him, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Tong Feiyu, do you understand the rules?" Don't join here if you're fine. ”
Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but glance at the visitor when he heard it, it turned out that he was from the Tong family.
Tong Feiyu smiled and said, "I understand the rules, but I saw you spend 500 yuan to pick such a big leak, isn't it red." ”
The stall owner's eyes rolled slightly, and he smiled with a salivating face: "I don't know how much Fei Shao will pay?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Ji Xiaofan's face changed, and he said, "Lao Heng, I asked this price first, don't break the rules." ”
Lao Heng smiled and said: "Ji Shao, if it's an ordinary thing, of course let's talk about the rules, but when it comes to this leakage, then why don't you let me earn a little more?" You're not making a lot of money anyway. ”
Tong Feiyu said with a smile: "Lao Heng can't say it well, Ji Shao, you are too picky, so let's do it, I'll pay eight hundred yuan." ”
Ji Xiaofan snorted coldly, and immediately increased the price: "Eight hundred and five." ”
"A thousand."
"One thousand and fifty."
…… The two raised the price back and forth several times, and after a while, Tong Feiyu raised the price to 2,000 yuan.
Ji Xiaofan frowned slightly, and whispered to Zhao Zhuo: "Brother Zhao, this Tong Feiyu's eyesight is also very good, he should have estimated the price of this Republic of China porcelain, I think this thing is worth 10,000 at most, and it depends on the buyer, he estimates that he can give you seven or eight thousand." If you think the price is too high, we'll just leave, too lazy to meet him. ”
If it is an ordinary porcelain of the Republic of China, Zhao Zhuo really doesn't want to stay with Tong Feiyu for more, but this porcelain is indeed rare, and it is also very good to give it to Uncle Han.
He then spoke: "Fei Shao, I don't think we should have a war of words, you can directly set the highest price, as long as I can accept it, pay immediately." ”
Tong Feiyu then looked at him, and then looked at Han Duoer beside him, his eyes lit up, and then he said to Ji Xiaofan: "Ji Shao, your friend is very refreshing, okay, then I will also make a price quickly, if you take 10,000 yuan to buy it, then I will have nothing to say." ”
"Ten thousand? Tong Feiyu, don't deceive people too much, just a piece of Republic of China porcelain can't be sold for 10,000 yuan! Ji Xiaofan said angrily, "Or, you take 10,000 yuan out and buy it?" ”
Tong Feiyu shook his head and smiled on the side, and said with a rogue expression: "I don't buy it, I'll just watch, help Lao Heng check it, how can I let him earn a little more." It's okay if you don't buy it, as soon as you walk on the front foot, a lot of people are ready to buy it. ”
Sure enough, because of this leakage, a lot of people have gathered around, staring at this porcelain vase one by one, everyone understands in their hearts that Tong Feiyu is the price for Ji Xiaofan, if Ji Xiaofan doesn't buy it, then it will be his turn.
Zhao Zhuo deliberately gritted his teeth, looked like he had no choice but to do so, took out 10,000 yuan and handed it to Lao Hengdao: "I fell in love with this porcelain at a glance, it was going to be bought and given away, I didn't think about reselling anything, 10,000 is 10,000, I want it!" ”
Lao Heng was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly took the money and smiled. This originally 500 yuan thing was sold for more than 9,000 yuan at once, isn't this a happy event?
Tong Feiyu even held his stomach and laughed, pointed at Zhao Zhuo and said: "Ji Shao, your friend is really stupid, buy a piece of Republic of China porcelain for 10,000 yuan, this joke is enough for me to laugh for several days." ”
As he spoke, he laughed and walked away.
Ji Xiaofan snorted coldly and said, "This Tong Feiyu is really getting more and more presumptuous!" ”
Han Duoer asked on the side: "Wood, is this porcelain really not worth 10,000 yuan?" Aren't we trading at a loss? ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled but didn't answer, and only after he walked out of the underground street and got into the car did he smile, handed the pastel porcelain to Ji Xiaofan and said, "You take a closer look." ”
This is under the translucent street lamp, the light is much more than the underground street, you don't need a flashlight to see it clearly, Ji Xiaofan picked it up and pondered it carefully, just now took a cursory look, and saw that the porcelain fetus was slightly yellowed, and he knew that it was a Republic of China product.
Now look closely, find that this pastel color is plump, the painting is fine and expressive, if you don't look at the fetal quality is a rare masterpiece.
He suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Could this be Hong Xian porcelain?" ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's Hong Xian porcelain." ”
Ji Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, patted his head and said: "I knew that things were not so simple, how could a shrewd person like Brother Zhao fall for Tong Feiyu's agitation." ”
Only Han Duoer's eyes widened, and she said curiously: "Wood, what is Hong Xian porcelain?" ”
Zhao Zhuo explained seriously: "This is a long time to say, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial kiln factory for the royal family to fire porcelain was closed, the national porcelain industry has been improved, and many porcelain companies have been established, at this time, in order to maintain the needs of the Chinese porcelain industry in the domestic and foreign markets, a large number of antique porcelain emerged in the early Republic of China. There are imitation of the Three Kingdoms, the two Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties celadon, there are imitation Sui, Tang, five dynasties of white porcelain, there are imitation of the Song Dynasty Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, Jun kiln of the fine products, there are also Yuan Dynasty porcelain and the Ming and Qing dynasties of blue and white, five-color, doucai, pastel, enamel color and monochrome glaze, and the most popular is to imitate the porcelain of the Yongzheng Qianlong period, but the real can achieve high imitation like the real thing, but it is the legendary Hongxian porcelain. ”
Han Duoer listened carefully and nodded from time to time, only thinking that it was quite interesting to hear about history.
Zhao Zhuo continued: "In the early days of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai intended to be the emperor, in order to imitate the feudal dynasty when ascending the throne must first fire the imperial porcelain to celebrate, he established the imperial kiln factory in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, and sent Guo Shiwu, the then director of the general affairs of the public government and a porcelain expert, to supervise the kiln affairs, and sent Yu Shaoqing to be responsible for the technical design of the kiln, and selected the porcelain products of Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing and other dynasties from the Forbidden City as samples and began to make porcelain. ”
"Among them, the base money prepared for Yuan Shikai is 'Hongxian Imperial System' or the names of each hall, Zhai, Xuan, Lu and so on. Such as 'Shendetang system' and 'Jurentang system'. In addition, it was also prepared for Yuan Shikai to reward the ministers and foreign guests, and the words "Hongxian Year System" were used. This batch of porcelain is basically made in the traditional way, and the painting is better than that of the Qing Dynasty. There are also some innovative and strange works. ”
Ji Xiaofan nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but make a statement: "Because Hongxian porcelain is positioned as the last official kiln, there are not many genuine products, so the market price has soared in recent years, and the transaction price of a single piece is more than tens of thousands of yuan, and the price of pairs is more than ten or hundreds of thousands of yuan. In recent years, an auction company has also auctioned a Hongxian pastel porcelain vase that sold for nearly 2 million yuan. ”
"Wow, 2 million? Hey, but didn't you say that the money is all "Shendetang system" and "Jurentang system", but this porcelain is the year system of the Yongzheng Dynasty? Han Duo'er was surprised, and at the same time found out the language in the words.
Zhao Zhuo said with a smile: "This porcelain burning is to prepare for the emperor, originally planned to produce 40,000 pieces of porcelain, however, who would have expected that his imperial system would only last for 83 days before it collapsed, and only 6,000 pieces of porcelain were burned." After the fall, in order to recover the cost, the Imperial Kiln Factory rewrote the unfired Hongxian porcelain base to the Qing Yongzheng, Qianlong and other different years as genuine materials. Therefore, although many of these Hongxian porcelains are exactly the same, they have different backgrounds such as Qian, Jia, and Dao. ”
"At that time, for more than 80 days, there were not many Hongxian porcelain fired, and the ones that were handed down were even rarer. It is said that Yuan Shikai spent 1.4 million oceans, which is equivalent to about 1 million taels of silver. According to the records of Qing history, during the Qianlong period, the imperial court allocated only 30,000 taels of silver to the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen a year. Hong Xian porcelain is so cost-free, of course, it is extremely exquisite. So you see, although this imitation is exquisite, but in addition to the slightly yellow fetal quality, it has a Yongzheng style at the level of modeling pastel, and such Hongxian porcelain has to be sold for four or five hundred thousand. ”
After hearing this, Han Duoer was surprised, she didn't expect that there were so many stories about this piece of porcelain.
Ji Xiaofan laughed out loud: "In vain, this Tong Feiyu claims to have excellent eyesight, but I didn't expect that there would be times when he looked away, if he knew that a piece of Hongxian porcelain slipped away from under his nose, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited blood." ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly, he didn't plan to use this kind of thing to stimulate Tong Feiyu, although he was not afraid of trouble, but more things are better than less.
