Chapter 029: Who You Kill If You Don't Kill You
Speaking of this "zun", many modern people may not know what kind of vessel it is, but the general shape of the rattle is similar to some wine bottles.
However, the neck of the rattle is very long, accounting for almost half of the height of the entire statue, just like the neck of a wine bottle is half as long as the neck is half as long as the bottle is half as long as the bottle is half as long.
Modern people who do not understand the division of ancient utensils are likely to mistake it for a wine bottle.
Rattle Zun open long neck, end shoulders and abdomen, shallow circle foot, carcass fine and firm, glaze pure and smooth, as if containing gouache as snow white, the bottom is also engraved with the [Qing Dynasty Kangxi year] of the regular script, the glaze red is the hair color pure, stable, bright and bright, the decoration is sparse, the lines are fine and clear, and the blue and white with the shade is suitable, harmonious and pleasant, it is the fine product in the official kiln porcelain in the Kangxi period, and it is one of the representative works of the entire Kangxi era.
Looking at the rattle in his hand again, Zhou Mingluo became more and more excited the more he looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the more regretful he became.
Really, this rattle is genuine, the real Kangxi period made in the blue and white glaze red group flower zigzag rattle, which makes him think that it is difficult not to be excited, to see such a treasure porcelain, on behalf of the entire Kangxi period of the whole Chinese porcelain firing first-line level of masterpieces, this is really exciting.
But this piece of porcelain is obviously broken, all broken into more than ten pieces, and then glued back together, which undoubtedly makes this fine porcelain fall countless times.
However, even the broken weapon Zhou Mingluo was completely moved, if he had the ability, he really wouldn't mind taking this broken weapon down.
Broken pieces are also valuable, don't think that a piece of porcelain can only be thrown away as a broken piece, if it is really good porcelain, even those pieces can be sold at a high price.
For example, a piece of broken porcelain from Yuan blue and white, even if it is only the size of an egg, a single small piece may be sold for thousands of pieces, which is more precious than some complete blue and white porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty, of course, this is also because the value of Yuan blue and white itself is too high.
How to judge the value of a broken porcelain piece is mainly to see whether it has a representative surname, such as obvious age characteristics, followed by its scarce surname, and so on.
The value of broken porcelain tiles in different parts is naturally completely different.
Even a single piece of broken porcelain can be valuable, not to mention the rattle in front of you, it is a complete crusher.
Even if this broken vessel is dismantled and sold, it is estimated that it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars engraved with the sum of the [Kangxi Year of the Great Qing Dynasty], and the other parts will range from thousands to tens of thousands, and the 100,000 yuan in Zhou Mingluo's hand is estimated to be enough to buy these fragments separately.
That's still to buy them separately one by one, not to mention that now all the fragments of this rattle are completely put together as a whole, even if its value is still much lower, but if the stall owner is a knowledgeable person, you can't take it without hundreds of thousands.
But at this moment, Zhou Mingluo was really excited, and roughly judged that nine out of ten of the stall owners were laymen, or novices who had not been in the industry for a long time.
Because the shattering marks of this rattle are too obvious, it is broken into more than ten pieces and repaired again, adhered together, if the other party really knows the value of this rattle, it is estimated that it is impossible to use such a superficial repair means.
If he is an expert and knows that this is a rattle, it is even more impossible to just put it on the stall, you must know that the complete rattle is worth three or four million treasures, who understands that people will use the most primitive means such as garlic juice to stick it and sell it on the stall?
But perhaps it is precisely because of this that this rattle has been placed here for a while, and no one has taken it away, of course, the reason why it has not been bought so far may also be because of the current time problem, it is only about two o'clock in the afternoon, it is still lunch time, and there are not many pedestrians in the entire antique city.
"Ninety percent of him doesn't know that this is the real Kangxi Rattle, and he may have to pick up a big leak."
Pressing the excitement in his heart, Zhou Mingluo carefully reassured the rattle in his hand, and turned to look at the stall owner, "Boss, how do you sell this broken bottle?" ”
With these words, the young stall owner glanced at Zhou Mingluo with some surprise, and even took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Mingluo, "I said brother, do you really plan to buy this broken bottle?" ”
The bottle is broken, ordinary people can see it at a glance, and the stall owner naturally will not open his eyes and say nonsense, but he is a little suspicious of why the other party has taken a fancy to this broken bottle.
The picture looks good? Although the rattle is good-looking, there are more good-looking porcelain in the entire antique market, and normal people will never look at a broken bottle, is it that the bottle itself is very valuable?
Although Zhou Mingluo usually doesn't smoke, he still took the other party's cigarette in his hand at this moment, and nodded calmly, "Although this bottle has been broken once, it looks like it was deliberately broken, but fortunately, it is still complete, and it looks very beautiful, there are some categories of morbid beauty, I am studying art, and I am studying the subject of morbid beauty, this bottle looks very eye-catching, if the price is right, I plan to buy it back to play." ”
Rattle is indeed very beautiful, and although it is covered with clear black scars on the snow-white body, but it is not ugly, morbid beauty, the same is a kind of beauty in the pursuit of art, the ancient Chinese pursued the ultimate of morbid beauty, there are many examples, the most famous is a woman's foot binding, three-inch golden lotus.
And the most famous foreign statue is the statue of Venus with a broken arm.
Of course, these are Zhou Ming's, he is not pursuing any sick beauty, he is just finding a suitable reason for himself, if there is no suitable reason, it is easy for him to buy this bottle to make the young boss alert, and even suspicious.
With this sentence, the young stall owner was stunned for a moment, and forgot to smoke the cigarette he had just lit, but he was quite speechless when he put it between his mouth, "Morbid beauty??" ”
He seemed to be frightened by this word, and he was even more stunned to look at Zhou Ming a few times, studying art? At a glance, Zhou Ming's fall was really sven.
And in fact, he had already noticed Zhou Mingluo, after all, he had set up a stall here for an hour or two, and he had just come over at noon, and almost no one looked at the broken porcelain on this stall.
After Zhou Ming came over, he took the porcelain and looked at it again and again for several minutes, and it was difficult for him not to pay attention to it.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, the young man suddenly became happy, "I said brother, what is morbid beauty?" I really didn't know about this before, so tell your buddy. ”
"Faint ......" was just making an excuse, but he didn't expect the other party to become interested in morbid beauty? However, he explained a little later, and after chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Mingluo asked the price again.
This time, the young man was overjoyed and said, "You art people are really strange, even sick and crooked looks can pursue beauty, heh, but buddy does know that there is really a statue of a foreigner who is quite famous, that is, an arm, in this case, I won't charge you more for this bottle, you give five thousand." ”
In the laughter, the young man's heart is also secretly cool, these stupid birds play art and play stupid, sick can also pursue beauty, he is also worried about this rotten bottle he spent a hundred yuan yesterday from the suburbs to buy a loss, so happened to meet a sick beauty of the art stupid bird, who does not kill him?
What's even more stupid about this thing is that it really explained to him what morbid beauty is, and it just happened to give him a better and more sufficient reason to sell this rotten bottle.
The young man took a sharp puff of cigarette before pointing to the rattle and said, "Brother, look, just like you just said, although this bottle has been broken, these broken cracks are really kind of ...... Well, it's that morbid beauty. I'm not a pit person, it's that this bottle is really a good thing before it breaks, and it can be engraved with the official money of the Kangxi year system under it, Kangxi official kiln, you know? That's the real thing, if it weren't broken, let alone 5,000, I wouldn't sell 500,000, 500,000......"
