The next two shops are relatively small, and they are all Western antiques, and for those that are not particularly precious and not exquisite, Wu Di doesn't even have the heart to pick up the leaks, so he didn't make a move. However, the fifth store made his eyes shine, mainly engaged in Chinese ancient porcelain, hehe, a big family, a big family who sent babies!
It's not big, and it's a bit strangely furnished. In front of the display cases displayed against the walls on both sides, there are several large rectangular wooden boxes, which take up about half of the space in the store. After Wu Di and the others walked in, there was almost no place to receive other guests.
Wu Di stretched out his head with interest and glanced at the contents of several boxes, all of which were lined with soft white foam, and the dishes, bottles and cans were clearly distinguished. This store actually uses this strange display to attract the attention of customers, not to mention, it is really a bit special......
"Sir, the small store has just come in with a new batch of goods today, so it's a bit messy, if you feel inconvenient, you might as well come back in the afternoon, but ......"
A nondescript white man in a gray robe walked out of the counter and smiled.
Wu Di sweated for a moment, it turned out that it was not an ingenious display. Then his eyes lit up, new? The new goods are good.,Even I like new goods! I heard that the female ghosts inside have just been unearthed, and they are all pink and tender......
"But what?"
He looked at the big wooden box in front of him and answered casually.
When the young man saw Wu Di's expression, the smile on his face was even bigger, and the display method he suggested to the boss was really powerful, and he couldn't try it again! But when you hear him introduce these as new goods, there is no one whose eyes are not bright! Choose, choose slowly, these are all carefully prepared by us, enough to confuse the real with the fake......
"But because of the recent antique salon. There is a lot of traffic in the store, and I'm afraid it would be a pity if you missed something if you came late. ”
Wu Di smiled, didn't speak, bent down to pick up one from the box in front of him, and looked at it carefully.
This is a very beautiful colored porcelain jar with a round mouth, a short neck, full shoulders, and a bulging belly. Sky blue glaze base. The green lotus leaves, rouge, white, yellow lotus, and the cloud crane with white feathers and pink beaks are colorful and layered, and they look very eye-catching.
"How much does this cost?"
The young man first glanced at the porcelain, then looked at Wu Di's expression, and said with a smile:
"This one is beautiful and I am very impressed. Kangxi Crane Dance Lotus Pond Picture Pastel Jar, an absolute boutique, with a price tag of 500,000 euros. ”
Wu Di frowned slightly, this is from the Kangxi Dynasty. But not pastel, but chromogen. But even if it is pastel, it should be several times the price he quoted, if they are wrong. If it is an imitation, the price is ten times higher, what is going on with this not being up or down?
Susancai porcelain is one of the varieties of porcelain glaze color. It is mainly yellow, green and purple porcelain, but it is often not limited to three colors, here, three represents more, just like where to play in the middle of the "two" word after two days, sometimes just a referent.
However, even if there are many colors in this kind of porcelain, there should not be red, because in ancient China there was a saying that "red is the color of meat, and non-red is plain". In fact, seriously speaking, the term "Su Sancai" did not have a strict definition at the beginning, so it has a great generality.
During the Kangxi period, the craftsmen of the imperial factory actively used the emerging pastel when making the traditional plain three colors, and developed a combination of plain three colors and pastels. This kind of utensils even use carmine (that is, meat color), which makes the "vegetarian three colors" even more unworthy of the name.
Plain Sancai is divided into white ground three colors, color ground three colors, ink ground three colors, tiger skin three colors and three color porcelain sculpture several categories, which take plain white ware as the base, draw out the pattern after painting yellow, green, purple three color patterns, the white ground three colors covered with white glaze are the most common, and the black glaze as the bottom of the ink ground three colors, is as rare as the morning star, extremely rare.
At present, more than 95% of the plain three colors circulating in the domestic market are imitations of the early Republic of China, and the fine products of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are almost extinct. Among the imitations of the Republic of China, except for a few famous masterpieces, the value is probably around hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is nearly 100 times different from the price of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
The pastel market is similar to this one, so this young man's offer confuses him.
"Pastels of the Kangxi Dynasty? The price seems a bit ...... Hehe. ”
He put things down and said half a word.
The young man smiled on his face, but he shouted in his heart, your old man gave a word, is this price high or low?
He was really impressed by this porcelain, because not only did the boss find someone to identify it, but he also saw almost the same thing on the Internet. The boss's conclusion is that the actual value of the imitation in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China should be around 40,000 yuan, while the so-called genuine products on the Internet are quoted as high as more than 3 million euros! This is also where his confidence lies in daring to report 500,000 yuan.
Wu Di's reaction gave him a hint of realization, this price seems to be not high, but low!
The first one is a high-quality product, so won't there be surprises in the future? Be calm, be calm!
Next, Wu Di looked more carefully, and now he rarely uses the Book of Heaven, because he has this confidence, and good things will definitely not escape his eyes. However, when he finished reading the contents of the boxes on the left, he was disappointed, let alone a fine product, and he didn't even see a delicate imitation!
Wu Di unwillingly verified it again with the Book of Heaven, and then lowered his head to look for it in several boxes, and in a few clicks, in the corner of the third box, he found a black jar that was almost completely covered by broken foam. Good boy, it turns out that you are hiding here, and you almost missed it.
This piece is not porcelain, but a clay pot. Small mouth, straight neck, broad shoulders, belly tuck. In the upper part of the can, there are smooth green lines, and every three thin green lines are interspersed with a wide red line, which spirals around the bottle like water lines, and forms a vortex in each of the three symmetrical positions. The whole pattern is set off by the earthy yellow background, which is particularly simple and vigorous.
He nodded secretly, this is indeed a whirlwind pattern pottery pot of Majiayao culture, although the price is not high on the market at present, but its historical value and collection value exceed most collections.
Painted pottery is a type of pottery, which generally refers to ancient pottery with painted patterns. It has been found in the Yangshao culture, Majiayao culture, Qujialing culture, Dawenkou culture and other cultures in the Neolithic period of China and the Xindian culture of the Bronze Age.
Majiayao culture is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, first discovered in Majiayao, Gan Province, its age is about 3300-2050 BC, is a local branch of the late Yangshao culture.
The faience production process of Majiayao culture is very mature. The number is particularly prosperous, mostly bottles, cans, basins, urns and other utensils, and the swirl pattern and arc triangle pattern are popular. Because the patterns are diverse, the themes are rich, the patterns are exquisite, and the ideas are exquisite, its cultural value and ornamental value are incomparable to the ancient pottery of other ancient cultural types, and the value-added potential is huge.
Wu Di carefully put the clay pot away, and picked up a high imitation blue and white next to it. Asked:
"How much does this cost?"
"This one...... Ten thousand euros. ”
The young man didn't quote the price again, the pastel just now was because it was not ruthless enough, the quotation was wrong, and he decided to cover up the mistake with the sincere quotation later.
"What about this one?"
Wu Di took out another plum bottle from the box.
"Eight thousand euros."
Wu Di was even more confused, these offers are all right, but what happened to the plain Sancai just now? Didn't you look at one more zero? He decided to read everything first, and finally chose a piece to deal with.
After about an hour, he even admired the porcelain in the display case behind him, and the result was much worse than he expected. In addition to the plain three colors, including the clay pots of the Majiayao culture, the four pieces he selected were all ordinary colors.
Immediately, he shook his head with a smile. These things are all unavoidable, how can there be a reason to pick up big leaks every time? It's that he is used to something wrong with the book of heaven, and he is too greedy.
Wu Di put a few pieces of porcelain he liked on the counter and asked:
"Do the math. How much do these cost? ”
The young man saw that the pastel he had chosen was indeed there, and he strengthened the idea in his heart, since he had reported it down from the beginning. This time, I can't give a point.
"Sir, you have such a good eye, you have all the fine products in the small shop! These five pieces are a total of 546,000 euros, thank you. ”
Fifty four hundred and sixty thousand? Wu Di thought about it, this is not a point?
"Isn't it right, isn't there a discount for buying so many at once? Why are these ones so cheap and this one so expensive? You can't have misread the price and overquote a zero, right? ”
"Sir, it seems that this antique can't be compared like this, can it? You see, this one is different from the others, its color and layout are very exquisite, generous, and ......"
"Hehe, no matter how beautiful and generous it is, it's just a thing of the Republic of China, I recognize 500,000 yuan, but this 500,000 euros, hehe......"
The young man was shocked, he actually knew that it was from the Republic of China? What to do? Now it's a problem to reduce the price or not! If it doesn't fall, it is likely to lose this business because the obvious price does not match the actual value, but if it really drops so much, it is likely not as simple as losing this business, and there is also integrity lost in a piece!
"Sir, this price was set by the appraiser in the store, and he told us that the maximum discount margin can only be 10% off, otherwise we will lose money. I'd love to get the deal done, but ......"
Wu Di looked at the young man's expression, and when he said this, no matter how much he cut down, he couldn't cut the price he wanted, and it was easy to talk about it, wouldn't it be more suspicious to ask for this thing at that time?
He calculated that the price of the Majiayao cultural clay pot worth more than 100,000 euros was only 6,000 euros, and the sum of these five pieces was less than 500,000 euros, which was not a small bargain. Besides, after knowing that the painting was Cézanne's, he was a little reluctant to take it as a bet, if he removed the "Flower of Death", there were still two of these three, how could he have time to delay here?
"Okay, wrap it all up for me, robot cat, you deal with it here, we'll go first."
The young man had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but he didn't expect this person to be so cheerful, and he was overjoyed, but he took advantage of it, but this extra reward was enough to buy a good BMW! (To be continued.) )
