Chapter 502: Strange Stone Pot

This cat street is about the same length as the Hollywood Road, but when it comes to sensory effects, it is far inferior.

However, walking on this street, Jin Muchen can feel the most primitive taste of Xiangjiang, the old buildings, the bustling crowd, and the air on the street is also mixed with the aroma of food, and it is a special feeling to walk.

And the shops here are more down-to-earth than those on Hollywood Road, and the situation is somewhat similar to the small shops in China, and the shops are all open wide.

Some of the goods are on the shelves in front of the store, and there is a variety of everything.

Not all of them are tall antiques, but there are also a lot of modern gadgets, such as various handicrafts from the mainland, and they also have a unique cultural atmosphere.

For example, various Taizu pottery statues during the Cultural @ Revolution period, there are half-body and full-body pottery, and there are various pottery statues of red soldiers next to them, plus a lot of cultural @ Revolution old things, which looks very interesting.

There are also some stalls with neat cross-stitch works, and all of them are large-scale cross-stitch works, such things, although they are modern handicrafts, but because of the space.

Even if it is put in China, it is not cheap, and if you get it to Xiangjiang, the price will increase several times.

However, these things were not the goal of Jin Muchen's trip, so although he liked it very much, he didn't do it.

As I continued to walk forward, I saw a few more stalls, and the things sold in these stalls were also very distinctive.

For example, one of the stalls, which is dedicated to the old clock business, is in front of their stall. It is filled with a variety of vintage pocket watches.

A pocket watch made in Europe from more than 100 years ago. By the twenties and thirties of the last century, Puhai. There are all kinds of pocket watches made in Yangcheng and later in Japan.

Although these things can also be regarded as antiques, they are not produced by any famous brand manufacturers, and they do not use any materials such as tabletops, so although the history is very thick, the price is not too expensive.

If the quality is better, it will be 20,000 or 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. It can be done in a few days, so Jin Muchen just watched the excitement, but he had no intention of making a move.

There is a stall next to it that buys porcelain, and the stall at the door is full of all kinds of old porcelain bowls and plates.

If you are a beginner who has just started, it may be easy to be recruited at this time, because those porcelain bowls, porcelain plates and so on look too antique.

But for an expert like Jin Muchen, it is a pleasure, even if he doesn't have those fiery eyes with special abilities. With the antique knowledge he has accumulated in recent times, these porcelain plates. Porcelain bowls and anything can't fool him.

Because in his opinion, these things are really too fake.

For example, he could see at a glance the worn-out method used in these porcelain, because the glaze of these bowls was a little shiny and uncomfortable.

As soon as you get started, you can distinguish the true from the fake, just like the style and bottom of these bowls look like they are the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but looking at the fetal quality, if it is the porcelain fired by the official kiln of which era, how can it be so heavy?

So Jin Muchen only glanced at it a few times, and then lost interest in these things in front of him.

Fortunately, the owner of this place just stood by and watched him happily, and did not ask him to buy it if he picked it up, so he was not worried about the danger of being dragged into the store and beaten to death.

A few steps ahead, the stall sells a lot more elegant, all of them are Go boards and pieces, and not only Go, but also some Western chess, or Chinese chess boards and pieces.

Although these things do not look like antiques, they are made with great care about the materials they are made from.

For example, the chess pieces of this Chinese chess are all carved from ivory, and they are all carved into the shape of characters, and the same is true of Western chess, but these chess pieces are carved from green jade.

So in this way, although these chess pieces are not antiques, they also add a lot of color to these things because of the materials.

Jin Muchen looked at the ivory carved Chinese chess pieces, and was very interested, but he hesitated again and again, and finally did not start.

It's very troublesome to bring this thing back to the United States, although it is an antique, but because it is an ivory product, it is very troublesome when entering the customs, and it is good not to be caught, if it is caught, not only will the thing be confiscated, but it may also be subject to lawsuits.

So even though he liked it, he finally thought about it and forgot about it.

Moving on, I finally came to the front of a decent looking shop, which was relatively large on this street.

The doorway can be three meters wide, and there is a long row of various things outside.

To the left-hand side is a row of bookshelves, but this one has been transformed into a bogu shelf, with a knick-knack in each compartment.

There are cricket jars used by the ancients, or a brush wash made of relatively ordinary materials, although it is not a very good thing, but these things are old enough to be regarded as antiques, so compared with the surrounding shops with modern handicrafts as the main sales items, the style of this store has suddenly become taller.

And the most different thing about this store and other stores is that other stores often specialize in buying antiques, while their products are very complex, almost any type.

Although standing under the canopy outside the gate, Jin Muchen could still see the inside of the shop behind him, the walls of the store were covered with Chinese paintings, and the glass counter below the wall was placed with all kinds of jade and other types of antiques.

This time, Jin Muchen was not in a hurry to leave, because he felt that his luck had come, and he seemed to have seen some good things.

He moved his steps and came to the door, next to the door on the right-hand side, there was a row of shelves, and there were several stone pots on the shelves, these stone pots, just now when Jin Muchen stood in the distance and watched, he saw the jewels flashing on these stone pots.

In his experience, these stone pots must be good things.

He came to the shelf and took down a stone pot, this stone pot is heavy, and the material used is also very special, this kind of stone, not a single color, but a slightly light yellow-brown, mixed with all kinds of small black dots, composed of a somewhat mosaic-like pattern color.

If you look at stone carvings, then just looking at the material of the stone, you can basically give up.

Because the material of this stone is very similar to the kind of hybrid marble that was popular in our country more than ten or twenty years ago, it is not a high-end stone material at first glance.

But Jin Muchen values these stone pots, not because of their material, but because of the craftsmanship of these pots.

For example, the pot in his hand looks very peculiar.

The body of the pot is a peeled corn cob, the grains are full and untidy, especially the tail, the hole of the rat bite is history, and the pot button is a big mouse, dragging a long tail, is greedily eating corn.

The corn leaves are naturally stretched, slightly upturned, and naturally form a pot handle, the texture of the broken leaf marks and leaf lines is clear and layered, and the broken stem that has just been picked from the corn stalk becomes the spout.

The body, buttons, mouth, and handle are integrated, which has both the composition of Chinese painting and the texture of sculpture.

It looks very feeling, just looking at the shape, you can feel the artistic atmosphere of this pot, and it is more textured when you hold it in your hand.

Jin Muchen only glanced at it a few times, and knew that this pot was definitely not simple.

He put this pot down, and then picked up another pot, this pot is as peculiar as the previous one, the same material, and it is also very heavy in his hand.

Holding the pot in your hand and looking at it, I am afraid that many people will definitely mistake it for the art of root carving.

The whole body of the pot is like a thousand-year-old root, full, vigorous, and old and commendable. The knots on the "roots" have yin and yang, like the natural trend of tree roots, rich and varied.

The small cherry spout and exaggerated large handle give people a sense of beauty that combines rigidity and softness. The lid of the pot and the body of the pot are one, seamless, the most interesting thing is the small shell insect on the button of the pot, desperately biting the root bark, the limbs and feet are still dancing, this embellishment, the pot seems to be injected with life, the static pot is alive, both return to nature and never get tired of seeing.

In short, the creator's dedication to the shape of this stone pot is enough for people to feel the artistic atmosphere of this pot.

The other three stone pots are the same, the materials are almost the same, but the carvings are different, the artistic atmosphere is very strong, and it looks very feeling.

When a few stone pots were held in his hand, almost all kinds of light were constantly flashing in front of Jin Muchen's eyes, which looked very interesting.

Although these stone pots, no matter how you look at the age, they can't be regarded as antiques, but the light that keeps flashing on them shows that these things must be good things, which makes Jin Muchen scratch his head a little.

Since it's not an antique, why does it flash with such a strong jewel?

This is the first time he has seen such a situation, his brain is running rapidly, and soon he has a flash of inspiration and thinks of some clues.

He carefully picked up one of the pots, then opened the lid, turned it over, and saw that inside the lid, there was a small circular stamp, and in the middle of the stamp, it happened to be a pottery character!

Seeing this, Jin Muchen breathed a sigh of relief, and now he was right! (To be continued......)
