Sure enough, it didn't take long for the judges to determine that this celadon tiger was an item from the Yue kiln of the Western Jin Dynasty, with an estimated value of 45,000.

The contestants came to the stage one after another, the collection is varied, compared with the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which is more common than the shapes such as plates and jars, these primitive celadon wares that are prevalent in the era of thousands of years from today have another shape, including bowls, washes, urns, five-linked jars, spit pots, three-legged bowls, etc., which opened everyone's eyes.

These porcelains also have a big gap in price, after nearly 100 people played, the highest price of a piece of porcelain reached more than one million, but the real price of three or four hundred thousand porcelain is not much, and there is a high proportion of fakes.

You know, the collection of antiques is not a one-time thing, most of the collectors of porcelain collection in addition to the hobby, the most fancy is the appreciation of this thing, because now porcelain can be described as ten times the high price of ten times, so the collector is said to be increasing.

However, not every lover who likes porcelain is rich, and the vision is very different, so many people like Ming and Qing porcelain, but it is not them that really start, but the relatively cheap original celadon and late Qing Dynasty porcelain.

However, counterfeiters have taken advantage of the collector's mentality and have made a large number of counterfeits of such antiques, resulting in a flood of fakes.

With the contestants on the stage, it was soon the turn of the contestants in the antique circle to take the stage, these people were holding things that they thought were high-quality things, and after the appraisal of the judges, the price of porcelain immediately exceeded more than two million, and there were many collections of more than one million.

In the lively competition occasion, Fang Lu came to the stage with a confident face, although he lost to Ji Xiaofan in the first game, but this time he was full of confidence, so much so that he glanced at the other two contemptuously before going on stage.

As soon as the wooden box is opened, the light shines on a three-beast foot lifting beam, which is a lifting beam pot, with a straight mouth, a round belly, and a three-beast-shaped foot under it, and the flow is in the shape of a beast's head, and the other side of the pot body is decorated with a curly short tail. The handle is arched, the top ends are decorated with zigzag ridges, and the shoulders and abdomen are decorated with four continuous water ripples.

Under the light, the shape of the handle pot looks simple and dignified, the glaze is blue and yellow, the glaze is uniform, the decoration is simple and bright, and it is full of dynamics.

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed, they had seen more than 100 pieces of porcelain, and after the comments of many experts, everyone seemed to have taken a porcelain class, and they had some experience in porcelain.

The shape of this porcelain was popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but its workmanship seems to be more delicate than that of porcelain of the same era.

The original celadon appeared in the early Shang period and prevailed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Before the Warring States Period, due to the low level of technology at that time, the raw material treatment was not finely filtered, washed, pinched, aged and grinded, and other processes, the shape of the utensils was simple, the carcass had many cracks, and the glaze was very unstable.

In the Warring States Period, the production of primitive porcelain has made great progress, its sintering surname can and the surface glaze and other aspects have been greatly developed, the shape of the vessel is regular, the thickness of the glaze layer is uniform, the glaze color is green and yellow, the shape is more like the bronze ware at that time, there are respect, ding, gui, 盉, beans, bells, etc., the ornamentation is mostly decorated with carving, scratching, pinching and molding, etc., with a simple and concise style.

This piece of the handle pot has a regular shape and uniform glaze, even if it is in the Western Jin Dynasty, it can be called the top grade at that time, not to mention that this is a thing in the Warring States Period.

The judges couldn't help but carefully identify it, from the shape to the fetal quality, from the glaze to the ornamentation, everything was not spared, and finally determined that this was the genuine product of the Warring States Period, and the price was determined to be 4.2 million.

As soon as the price of 4.2 million came out, the audience immediately became a sensation, and there were already a few contestants in the antique circle who exceeded two million, but this time the distance of two million was pulled out, which made people stunned, and some people whispered, I don't know who this young man in his early 20s is, and he has such a treasure in his hand.

In the eyes of most people, this kind of seemingly worthless jar, if it is touched by themselves, they will definitely not even look at it, how do you know that it is worth more than real money?

And for this price, Zhao Zhuo laughed.

In today's auction market, ceramics, bronze and calligraphy and painting have always shown a three-legged trend, and for ceramics, it is the official kiln, the private kiln and the ancient porcelain.

As early as ten years ago, an auction house in Hong Kong had launched a Qing Qianlong style of gold pastel hollow hexagonal set of bottles that had been looted by the British and French forces, and after dozens of rounds of fierce competition, it was finally sold for 20.95 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the second year, the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties shined in the market. A piece of Qianlong Pink Flower Butterfly Pattern Ruyi Erzun of the Qing Dynasty was sold at an auction in Hong Kong for 33.045 million Hong Kong dollars, which once set a new record for China's official kiln porcelain, and surprised the world. The high-end market is frequent, and the blue and white and pastel of the three generations of the Qing Dynasty also have a good performance in the market. Among the top 100 porcelain transactions, the Qing dynasty accounted for 61 pieces.

In addition to the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the official kilns of each dynasty are highly sought after, especially those big collectors, big entrepreneurs, especially loved, all have a strong collection of things that the emperor plays**.

As for the folk kiln, just as the clothes are divided into famous brands and ordinary goods, the ceramic market is also divided into high, medium and low-grade, and the boutique official kilns in the high-end market are often millions of millions, and the general public can only look up and point at it.

However, the folk kiln ware has been appreciated by the middle and low-end investment consumer groups for its low price, large number of survival, diverse modeling styles and huge appreciation space, and the stock of the folk kiln is larger than that of the official kiln.

Finally, there is Gaogu porcelain, the so-called Gaogu porcelain, refers to the porcelain unearthed before the Yuan Dynasty, which naturally includes the original celadon.

In fact, the porcelain of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China can be regarded as a collection of unpopular ones, and their prices are not high, but once there are fine products available, they can be sold at a good price.

However, most of the original celadon in the market reaction is relatively cold, there are many reasons, especially its identification is very difficult, it is not like the Ming and Qing Dynasty official kilns in general shape, glaze, ornamental development of the flow of order, often appear some never seen unique products, which brings difficulty to the identification.

Therefore, for this handle pot, the judges have also carefully appraised it, and finally concluded that it is genuine, and gave a high price of 4.2 million, but in Zhao Zhuo's view, although this porcelain is considered to be a good grade, it is not so fine, this price can be described as high, if it is put to the auction house, I am afraid that the possibility of unsuccessful auction is very large.

However, he can also understand the reason why the judges raised the price so much, that is, to raise the level of the competition, if there is no high enough porcelain to support, this porcelain festival will be a bit boring.

After Fang Lu's porcelain was auctioned for a high price of more than 4 million, he was immediately overjoyed.

After he stepped down, many contestants came to the stage, but the porcelain he took out couldn't be compared with this handle pot in terms of price, and it didn't take long for Ji Xiaofan to come on stage.

Ji Xiaofan's collection is a piece of blue glaze double series of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this is to imitate the shape of the bronze at that time, dignified and simple, the whole body is evenly glazed, the carved pattern is exquisite, in the distant Western Zhou Dynasty, it can be regarded as a porcelain with good shape and style.

It's just that although this porcelain is many years earlier than the Three Beasts Foot Beam Pot, there is still a certain gap between it and it in all aspects, and it was finally assessed at a price of 3.5 million.

As soon as he saw that Ji Xiaofan had lost to him in terms of price, Fang Lu was even more proud, and he clipped his hands with a smile.

Ji Xiaofan looked at winning or losing relatively lightly, and after the price was evaluated, he seemed very calm.

Time passed quickly, and then it was Tong Feiyu's turn to play, Tong Feiyu took up a blue glazed rope pattern jar, which looked very ordinary, with a round mouth, slipping shoulders, bulging abdomen, circle feet, and staggered rope patterns on the shoulders. Apply green glaze.

And this kind of green glaze gives people the feeling that it is much more delicate than many collections that have appeared, and its fetal quality and glaze layer are quite tightly combined, giving people a sense of beauty of the unity of the glaze, after several appraisals by the judges, it is determined that this porcelain is a collection of the Yue kiln period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is close to the level of modern porcelain in terms of technology, and an appraisal price of 4.4 million yuan was given.

As soon as this price was said, the smile on Fang Lu's face stiffened suddenly, and the first-place bench was snatched by Tong Feiyu before it was hot, and he couldn't help but be angry and annoyed.

It's just that the antique competition is like this, before the other party takes out the collection, no one knows what cards the other party will play, and no one dares to make a conclusion.

The second competition of the three small schools ended temporarily with Tong Feiyu winning, but the porcelain competition is still going on, and with the emergence of heavyweights in the antique circle, the fine celadon of the Six Dynasties during the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties also seems to be about to come out.

The appearance of three or four million pieces of porcelain in a row opened the eyes of the audience, and the atmosphere in the venue was naturally very warm, and under such an atmosphere, Tong Dongyang finally stepped onto the stage.

As soon as Tong Dongyang stood up, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, and even many people booed and shouted, and when they knew that this middle-aged man in his early thirties was the one who won the first place in the first game with a high price of seven million, the rest of the audience also became excited.
