Chapter 8 Snuff Bottles and Lang Shining
Picking up leaks from connoisseurs is a thing worth showing off, this has become a custom in the industry, and Liu Yi also wants to pick up leaks from Old Man Yu, but unfortunately, Old Man Yu's eyes are quite vicious.
Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and pointed to the sapphire blue glazed large celestial ball bottle: "Uncle Yu, let me do this?" ”
"This celestial vial? Half a million for you! ”
The price of 500,000 yuan is not very high, and the general auction house's estimate is around 400,000 to 600,000 yuan.
"Good!"
Liu Yi didn't say a word, direct transfer, this sapphire blue glaze large celestial ball bottle, popular in the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng, Qianlong period, is one of the most precious porcelain for furnishings in the court. In addition to decorating with blue and white flowers, there are pastels, bucket colors, peacock green, Ji blue, sapphire blue, etc., to achieve the situation of "learning from the ancient but not muddy, imitating the ancient without forgetting the new".
Liu Yi fiddled with the bottle of the celestial sphere bottle about fifty centimeters high: "It's not wrong, it's the ornamental bottle of the Qing Emperor." ”
"That's, this is what my dad bought back then, three dollars!" Old man Yu's words made Liu Yi vomit a mouthful of blood, Nima, do you dare to be a little less, three yuan, is this the rhythm of a dead man?
After holding the bottle and getting into the car, Liu Yi gasped for breath, he couldn't wait to cross directly, he didn't want to bring money, just a few catties of gold.
At that time, the monks were really, what kind of gold and silver ware do you bury, and this kind of porcelain is much stronger than gold and silver when you bury it directly.
"At that time, the monks didn't know the price, they all thought that the gold, silver and the emperor's reward were more valuable, these porcelain seats and the like were sold very much, if they thought it was very valuable, they would not split the emperor's dragon bed!"
The two of them stared at each other, and then sighed in unison: "Lao Tzu, if we go back and come back, we will have at least more than 100 billion!" How many years does this have to be lost? ”
The two of them hurt very much, tangled to death, garbage at that time, and now they are all treasures.
"Does this celestial vial have a saying? Half a million is not cheap! Xiao Wu took the Tianqiu bottle over, looked in with his eyes on the mouth of the bottle, and didn't see anything else, the mouth of the bottle was small, the bottle body was spherical, and he couldn't see much at all.
"Of course there is a saying, I'll tell you when I go back, go buy some gadgets first!"
Liu Yi hit the steering wheel and drove towards the hotel, and on the way back, Liu Yi bought an endoscope, some cotton and alcohol.
I probed it with an endoscope, carefully wrapped a layer of cotton with a wire, dipped it in some alcohol, carefully wiped it, and not long after, bent it into a small fork with the wire, and dragged something to the bottom of the bottle.
Liu Yi was very careful, very careful, and at this time, Liu Yi let out a sigh of relief, and this thing finally came down.
Gently poured it out, Liu Yi removed those glue marks with hot water, and took it in his hand to carefully inspect it.
"How did you find this?"
Xiao Wu didn't understand, Liu Yi hadn't touched the Celestial Ball Bottle, how did he know that there was something inside?
"I have clairvoyance, can you believe it?"
Liu Yi snorted twice, carefully observed the snuffbox, and Xiao Wu despised him fiercely: "You are sick, see-through eyes, why don't you say that your eyes will be X-rayed?" X-Men have seen too much, right? ”
Liu Yi told the truth, but no one believed it, as for how Liu Yi knew that there was something in it, Xiao Wu could only bury his doubts in the bottom of his heart, and one day he should be able to expose it, he didn't know, couldn't Yan Ran know it in the future?
"This should be worth a lot?"
Xiao Wu came over and took a closer look at the snuff bottle, this snuff bottle is a Qianlong copper tire painting enamel color European-style lady picture snuff bottle, the imperial one, it should have been used by Qianlong.
"Not very valuable, very valuable! Copper, in the Qianlong period, copper painting enamel color are made in the palace, this hidden in the Dragon King Temple Tianqiu bottle should be the Manchu Emperor used that year, I am now looking for the emperor's own inscription, if there is, then the value of this snuff bottle will be more high. ”
Liu Yi is not wrong, even if it is an ordinary object, the emperor has used it, the value is not ordinary, even if it is a night pot, it is also an unusual night pot, sometimes Liu Yi is very speechless about the concept of the Chinese people.
The copper enamel color European-style lady snuff bottle, the price is basically about seven or eight million, Liu Yi looked at it seriously, in the blank space of the lady's picture, there is a small seal, not Qianlong's seal, but the seal of "Chen Shining".
Liu Yi was excited all of a sudden, it may have been used by the emperor, and there is a seal of "Chen Shining", Liu Yi is sure that the price of this snuff bottle will be sold at a sky-high price, and he dare not say that tens of millions can still be sold.
Chen Shining may not be known to many people, but Lang Shining is definitely familiar to everyone, in the "Qing History Manuscript", all the descriptions of him are: "Lang Shining, Westerner." Kangxi is in the middle of the value, and Gaozong (Qianlong) is especially rewarded. Famous horses, rare birds, exotic grasses. All of them are lifelike. The color is beautiful, not beyond the reach of Bingzhen and so on. ”
Lang Shining is a court painter who has experienced three emperors, his paintings are still very high in modern times, the former Yongzheng December Old Summer Palace in 08 years, it was auctioned at a sky-high price of 158.4 million, within a few years, the value of the artwork is rising, if Liu Yi this snuff bottle shot, the price of tens of millions can be guaranteed.
Lang Shining's seal is Chen Shining, ordinary people don't have a lot of contact with Lang Shining, and it is understandable that they don't know much about Lang Shining's seal, but Liu Yi is different, his achievements in calligraphy and painting are not as big as porcelain, but they should not be underestimated.
"Look here!"
Liu Yi pointed to the seal and said to Xiao Wu: "Lang Shining's, this time it's a big leak, a big leak!" ”
If you buy it for 500,000 yuan, it may be sold for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, how can it not be considered a big leak?
"One thing I don't know very well, why it is possible that the snuff box used by Emperor Qianlong was hidden in the Tianqiu bottle, if the snuff bottle of Emperor Qianlong was missing, I am afraid that many people would die, and it is impossible for the people who follow the service to make such a mistake of losing their heads."
Xiao Wu's words are very reasonable, this kind of mistake, the emperor's close attendants can't make it at all, what is that? It is not that Liu Yi drilled the tip of the dead corner, but whether the emperor used it back then, which is related to the value of this snuff bottle.
"Maybe this snuffbox is a spare!"
This is the only explanation, because if the emperor's commonly used snuff box is gone, I am afraid that many people will die, no one can take this responsibility, this snuff box should be a spare, accidentally lost by the monks, hidden in the celestial ball bottle, and only this explanation is the most realistic.
"If it hasn't been used, the value may be lower, but with Lang Shining's seal, even if it wasn't used by the emperor, it doesn't matter." (To be continued.) )
