The shadow of a famous tree, let alone a piece of porcelain, even if it is a comb, it is not an ordinary thing if it was used by the Empress Dowager Cixi. Everyone was muttering in their hearts, how much is this piece of porcelain worth, and whether it can surpass Zhang Zhidong's porcelain.

Tong Dongyang didn't pay much attention to this porcelain after seeing it, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, and when he found that there was still a "Chuxiu Palace System" at the bottom, his face couldn't help but change.

Among the three families in Baicheng, the Tong family can be said to be the most rich and powerful family, so the battle for their family property is also the most intense, and everyone wants to overwhelm the other on other occasions.

The relationship between the three sons is also very delicate, the second son Tong Weiwen and the third son Tong Xiaolei are the same spirit, which is why Tong Dongyang and Tong Feiyu are together.

However, after his face changed slightly, he immediately calmed down, and there was no other abnormality.

Everyone whispered, and Ji Xiaofan also asked in a whisper: "Will this porcelain be more expensive than Zhang Zhidong's?" ”

Zhao Zhuo shook his head and said: "Although the owners of the porcelain are all celebrities, and Cixi's status is higher than that of Zhang Zhidong, however, it also depends on the porcelain itself, this blue and white porcelain vase still has a significant gap with the porcelain vase used by Zhang Zhidong in terms of overall shape and picture, and I am afraid there is still a certain distance in price." ”

After saying this, the discussion on the judges' bench also ended, and some judges said the results of the evaluation, the porcelain vase was genuine in the Guangxu period, and the estimated value was 6.2 million.

Although the value did not reach the height of 7 million, it was really eye-opening, and it can be regarded as filling the middle price of four million to seven million.

Tong Qizhou did not have any objection to this judgment result, he calmly walked back to his seat with the box, and while sitting down, he smiled at Tong Dongyang: "I didn't expect Dongyang to have such a valuable thing in your hand, it really surprised me uncle, you are enough to pull me out of the gap of 800,000." ”

Tong Dongyang smiled slightly and said, "Isn't the uncle going to compete for six?" This gap of 800,000 is just as easy as a cloud and rain for the uncle. ”

Tong Qizhou laughed when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "I hope so." ”

With the contestants taking the stage one by one, high-priced porcelain also appeared frequently, and the contestants of the Ji family and the Fang family also came to the stage to display the antiques they had collected, which were worth about three or four million, which made the audience addicted.

Not long after, Fang Youming finally came on the field.

As soon as Fang Youming's name appeared, there was a lot of discussion in the circle, everyone knew that the Fang family's door was the widest, it could be said that both black and white were stained, and Fang Youming was also a leader among the younger generation of the Fang family.

The box that Fang Youming carried was so small that it could be easily held up with one hand, which showed that the contents were not only light but also small.

In terms of size, the price of moderately sized items is generally higher, especially some heavy objects such as jars are easier to increase the price, and small items must have a very good texture if they want to have an advantage in price.

Fang Youming personally opened the wooden box, but what he took out from it was a pen holder, which was in the shape of a bamboo barrel, similar to the bottom of the mouth, flat bottom, and had four strip-shaped feet.

On the wall of the pen holder, lines of text are densely written, and the font is red.

The people in the audience couldn't help but whisper, thinking that it was another piece of red porcelain in the glaze, and it was not as red as the red in the glaze in terms of color, so they intuitively felt that this piece of porcelain could not be compared with the red square bottle in the glaze.

And some viewers have carefully looked at more than 100 pieces of porcelain, and they also have some experience, and even directly assert that such a small artifact, red is not pure enough, even if it is produced by the official kiln, it will be tens of thousands of yuan at most.

However, a discerning person can see at a glance that this is not a glaze red at all, but an alum red color.

Alum red color, also known as "iron red glaze". Glaze red uses copper as the coloring agent, while alum red color uses iron oxide as the coloring agent.

The glaze red must be fired at high temperatures, while the alum red color can be fired at low temperatures, although the color is not as pure and gorgeous as copper red, but the color is quite stable and easier to see.

Alum red color was burned in the Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, and there was great progress in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the color is gorgeous and extraordinary, and it is generally used for colorful and doucai painting ornamentation or applied to the pure color glaze. After Jiaqing, the red color of alum is not very good, and it only improved slightly in Guangxu.

There are not a lot of alum red colored porcelain that can be seen on the market, including various bottles, cans, plates and bowls, etc., but it is rare to see the real dense glaze white, pure hair color, and fine painting.

The alum red color pen holder in front of me is enough to explain with amazement, the white porcelain is pure white and delicate, like white jade, no need to touch it with your hands, just the feeling for the eyes is enough to make people intoxicated, and even after looking at it for a long time, people suspect that this is not a ceramic product at all, but a white jade carved thing.

Secondly, look at the poems on this cylinder, there are a total of five poems, and the poems that are generally printed on the pen holder, most of which describe the scenery are different, and the poems on this are all exuding a sense of lofty ambition and hard work, and the sentences are shocking and thought-provoking.

Except for the verses, every word in this poem is an iron-red color, and the color is gorgeous, as if someone had dipped it in red paint, without a trace of superfluous ingredients, which shows the fineness of the workmanship.

What is even more shocking is the line at the end of the poem, which reads the words "Guangxu Imperial System", and there are two small treasure seals printed below.

Suddenly, the audience was full of bang again, just now out of the Empress Dowager Cixi's porcelain, and now there is a Guangxu Emperor's imperial pen holder, just now was full of confidence that this porcelain is at most tens of thousands of people suddenly blushed, dare not judge again.

And the four words of Guangxu imperial system also just confirm the meaning contained in the poem, Emperor Guangxu from the beginning of the throne, the government is almost in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi, even the most favored concubine of the Guangxu Emperor also committed suicide because of the guilt of Cixi.

After the failure of the Wuxu Reform, he himself was imprisoned by Cixi on the Yingtai in Zhongnanhai, and his whole life was a tragic fate of humiliation and grievance.

At this time, Fang Youming slowly picked up the pen holder, exposed the bottom to see, the following is written "Qing Dynasty Guangxu Year" six blue and white seal books, its font is slender, neat and beautiful, the experienced people among the contestants immediately distinguished, this is the official kiln produced things.

That is to say, whether it is from the overall shape, the color of the glaze or the poems, etc., it can be completely determined that this is the official kiln product in the Guangxu period, and it is also ordered by Guangxu to be personally made for his enjoyment.

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "This Cixi is still the queen mother of Emperor Guangxu, but I don't know if my mother's things are worth or my son's things are worth it?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "It is estimated that the Empress Dowager Cixi is worth a little more, although the shape is simple, but it is very atmospheric, although this one can be enjoyed, it is still a small thing, and the depiction is only poetry." Moreover, the porcelain of alum red color is still the highest value in the Qianlong period of Yongzheng, although this piece is a royal product, but the process has completely failed to reach the height of the Kangqian Dynasty. ”

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but bow slightly, the reason why the six games started with porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was because the porcelain value of this era was the lowest.

Then, the imperial pen holder was sent to the judges' seats, and the judges were amazed while looking at it, which shows how luxurious the life enjoyed by the emperor back then.

In the end, the price of this pen holder was only estimated at 5 million, which was more than 1 million short of the blue and white dragon pattern vase of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

However, Fang Youming did not have a strange expression, and walked off the stage very calmly, because he, like many contestants, was a person who was going to participate in six competitions, although there were many porcelains in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were few fine products, and there were quite a lot of fakes.

However, in the other five games, the total price of porcelain in each game will continue to rise, maybe in the first game, the price difference of one million is amazingly large, but in the later stage, everyone will find that the difference of one million is nothing at all.

The appearance of three pieces of celebrity porcelain, so that the atmosphere in the venue is more and more enthusiastic, every time the porcelain appears, everyone is used to holding their breath, to see, what kind of porcelain will appear, until after reading, only gently sighed, as if the breath is loud, will also affect the judges' judgment.

Next, the contestants came on the field one after another, and Chen Caiyuan also played in it, and what he showed was a blue and white Suihan Sanyou bowl of the Tongzhi Dynasty.

This bowl comes from the official kiln, the carcass is white and delicate, the glaze is shiny, the hair color is bright, and the decoration is elegant. Several bamboo and pine plum branches are staggered, reflecting each other, expressing Dr. Shi's personal integrity and style, which is quite ancient.

Although it is just a bowl, it is not imperial porcelain or celebrity porcelain, but it looks quite high-quality in terms of shape, glaze or painting, and the assessed price has reached 4.8 million, which is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

As the contestants took out the porcelain one by one, it was finally Zhao Zhuo's turn to play.

When the staff called out Zhao Zhuo's name, the audience seats at the venue seemed very quiet, but the people in the antique circle among the contestants looked suspicious, and many people had already seen Zhao Zhuo sitting with the Ji family, and thought that he was the younger generation of the Ji family, who knew that it was originally surnamed Zhao.

And Zhao Zhuo's personal introduction is simpler than anyone else, just a name, because Zhao Zhuo knows very well that whether it is a junior appraiser, a student or a member of the Huaihai Appraiser Association, it is a bit out of place to say it on such an occasion.
