Chapter Seventy-Five: Tang Qinghua
Zhao Zhuo also determined through the changes in this wine cup that this long-haired young man did indeed have the ability to make antiques full of aura. When encountering such counterfeiters, it is no wonder that old rivers and lakes like Hou Yun are going to be eye-catching.
After getting the news from the wine cup and catching up with Hou Yun, the aura on the wine cup has also disappeared.
Hou Yun was sitting on the seat in the lounge, he was devastated, his face looked gloomy, and when he saw Zhao Zhuo catching up with the wine cup, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said with a decadent face: "Xiao Zhao, brother, I have never suffered such a loss, this time, it really makes this face embarrassing." ”
Zhao Zhuo put the wine cup on the table and comforted: "Hou Laoyan is serious, everyone in the antique industry has a time to be eye-catching." ”
Hou Yun smiled bitterly, glanced at the wine cup, shook his head and sighed: "It's true that everyone has a time to make an eye, but if you regard such a fake fake as a firewood kiln, even if you have been in the business for a few years, you won't make this mistake." ”
After that, he waved his hand weakly and said, "Xiao Zhao, you go back to participate in the competition, you don't have to accompany me here." ”
Zhao Zhuo also knows Hou Yun's temper, and he definitely doesn't like anyone to watch the excitement when he encounters this kind of thing, so it's better to let him be alone, and he has also got useful information from the wine cup, it seems that he must go to the ghost market tonight to see if he can meet this guy.
Zhao Zhuo never thought that he was very righteous, so even if he had an ability, he didn't regard himself as a savior, but people like this who used their abilities to make trouble everywhere and used fakes to deceive people were more hateful than those ordinary people who faked, so Zhao Zhuo had to find out this person.
When he returned to the arena, Tong Qizhou had just walked on stage, and as soon as he saw Zhao Zhuo coming back, Ji Xiaofan whispered: "Brother Zhao, look, it's another piece of Jun kiln flower-glazed porcelain." ”
Zhao Zhuo looked towards the stage, and Tong Qizhou's collection was indeed a flower-glazed porcelain.
In the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, the glaze produced by the Jun kiln is unique, the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is divided into two major schools, namely the south green and the north white, however, after the Jun kiln in the Tang Dynasty successfully mastered the two-color glaze technology, the flower glaze color spot technique was invented, so that the pottery decoration gradually developed like colorful, and this development also made the Jun kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty became one of the five famous porcelain in China.
This flower glazed porcelain vase is plump and solemn, and it is also a two-layer glaze, with a darker red glaze on the bottom layer, and a layer of transparent glaze on the surface, which contrasts with each other and looks quite beautiful.
It's just that this piece of utensils can't be compared with Tong Dongyang's tabby glazed stove in terms of shape and craftsmanship, and the final estimate is only 8 million.
The contestants came to the stage one after another, Zhao Zhuo and Ji Xiaofan are still concerned about the situation at the excavation site, and now the staff on the site are divided into two groups, one group cleans the cellar and transports all the things in the cellar to the ground, and one group conducts detailed inspections on the ground for stored things, registers, etc., from the photos of the scene, everyone is very busy, but so far, there are no clues about the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
The contestants appeared one after another, and all kinds of porcelain products from the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties also appeared one after another, causing everyone to sigh again and again.
The unprecedented development of the porcelain industry during the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, especially the pursuit of the effect of porcelain jade, made the craftsmen strive for excellence in porcelain-making technology, and many fine works from the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties will appear in the market every year.
Moreover, compared with the Six Dynasties period and the primitive celadon period, the kiln mouth has also become more mature, and the number has also increased on a large scale.
However, although there are many porcelain collections, they still do not exceed the price, and even the ones that are close to the tabby glazed stove do not even have a single one of the nine million, Tong Dongyang can be said to be far ahead this time.
An hour later, Fang Youming came on the field, the box Fang Youming was holding this time was a rectangular box, although he couldn't see what was inside, but it was obviously not a jar or bottle, but looking at his calm expression, he knew that it must be a good thing.
When he opened the box and carefully revealed the contents, the people in the audience were taken aback.
Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but blurt out: "Tang Qinghua! ”
Zhao Zhuo also squinted slightly, after seeing so much, he finally saw another amazing item.
Among all types of porcelain, the auction price of tens of thousands or even tens of millions is only blue and white porcelain.
Blue and white porcelain is a very unique category of Chinese porcelain, which is an underglaze porcelain made of cobalt oxide as a raw material to depict patterns on white porcelain tires, and then covered with transparent glaze, and fired at high temperatures. Its blue color on a white background, as new for thousands of years, has been the treasure of choice for porcelain collectors throughout the ages.
China's blue and white porcelain was created in the Tang Dynasty, matured in the Yuan Dynasty, and was brilliant in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, blue and white porcelain was sold to Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and other regions and countries as the main products of foreign trade. The blue and white porcelain of the Qing Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties has the most appreciation potential, such as an ordinary Kangxi blue and white porcelain, which can be bought for only 5,000 a few years ago, but after three years, it can rise to the price of 100,000 yuan.
In fact, not only modern people are so obsessed with blue and white porcelain, but even the ancients are the same.
It is said that in the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor held a banquet to entertain foreign envoys, more than 100 tables of banquet tableware are all made of blue and white porcelain, the fresh and elegant color, so that these foreigners are amazed, some envoys and their wives quietly put wine cups, saucers into the wide dress pockets. After the banquet, the tableware was counted, and there were as many as 580 pieces of blue and white porcelain that were "taken", which shows that the charm of blue and white porcelain has reached the point where people can't put it down.
Therefore, in the auction market at home and abroad, there are often hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of bids for the possession of a piece of blue and white porcelain.
Compared with the large number of blue and white porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty is not inferior in price, however, the number of blue and white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty is very rare, and now the total stock of complete vessels in the hands of major museums and collectors at home and abroad does not exceed 50 pieces, and its rarity and preciousness are incomparable to the porcelain of other dynasties.
The Tang Qinghua in front of him is a wishful pillow for mountains and rivers. Porcelain pillows were very popular in the Tang Dynasty, originally used for funeral vessels at the beginning, and later used as bedding and pulse diagnosis.
This porcelain pillow is outlined with blue and white to outline a scene of great mountains and rivers, the brushwork is delicate and smooth, and with a majestic momentum, the two are combined into one, and the match is just right, people can't help but be amazed.
The shape of the porcelain pillow is also quite unique, with a height of about 20 centimeters and a width of nearly 20 centimeters.
After Ji Xiaofan finished his surprise, he couldn't help but sigh: "Fang Youming's wrist is really enough, Tang Qinghua with such a small stock can get it." ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly and didn't say anything, since the Fang family has both black and white, the means are naturally clever, and it is not impossible to get Tang Qinghua, but I don't know which tomb it was dug up from.
The appearance of the rare Tang Qinghua immediately shocked the judges, and they came to the stage one after another to identify this porcelain pillow, and its seriousness was not at all overwhelmed by the tabby glazed stove just now.
After a long time, the judges reached a unanimous opinion, and they always thought that it was a masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty Yue kiln, and the final estimate was 11 million.
Another piece of 11 million porcelain was born, and the audience was suddenly boiling, and the corners of Fang Youming's mouth also hooked a smile.
The contestants continued to take the stage, and the two pieces of 11 million porcelain can be said to be scratching their own trends, and then more than 9 million porcelain finally appeared in the porcelain on stage, which is from the Xingyao fine porcelain vase exhibited by Chen Caiyuan.
Because the Tang people still have jade, so for a long time, the jade-like Yue kiln celadon has been set as the top grade of Tang Dynasty porcelain, while the white porcelain of Xing kiln is inferior.
However, the porcelain jar exhibited by Chen Caiyuan is a gourd vase that is quite difficult to make, and the gourd vase is rare in the Tang Dynasty, and the gourd vase is also painted with a rather good picture of a maid, and these items fully meet the standards of high-priced porcelain.
The price of porcelain, according to the type of ware, the furnishings of the hall are the most expensive, the gourd bottle belongs to one of them, according to the difficulty of production, the success rate of the gourd bottle, the quadrangular bottle and other collection prices are high, according to the color, the blue and white bucket color is the most expensive, the blue and white pastel is second, according to the ornamentation, the figure painting is especially the maid painting is valuable, the animal is second, the flowers and birds are again. So with this combination, it is natural that this gourd bottle will get a high price of more than 9 million.
Not long after Chen Caiyuan stepped down, it was finally Zhao Zhuo's turn to come to the stage, as soon as Zhao Zhuo's name was shouted, the original boiling voice of the audience immediately decreased, and for a while, the audience was silent, whether it was Tong Feiyu, Tong Qizhou, Fang Youming or any old collector, the extraordinary strength of the appraiser, the appearance was unable to achieve such an effect.
It seemed that as soon as Zhao Zhuo's name came out, he could immediately shock everyone, and everyone's eyes were focused on this mediocre-looking young man.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that although the total value of Zhao Zhuo's collection in the three games is far less than that of Tong Dongyang, who ranks first, but every time he appears, the things he takes out will always surprise people.
The Yangxian celadon in the second scene looks so ordinary that it can't be too ordinary, and no one will find it if it is thrown in a corner, but who knows that it is an extremely rare Yangxian celadon.
The celadon lotus statue brought up in the third scene made it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and it caused a conflict between the judges, so everyone was thinking, what did he take out in the fourth place?
