Chapter 363 - Painted enamel snuff bottle

"Cloud shopkeeper, this is Japan's 'Shippo ware'?" Yi Yang wondered.

He had long been puzzled, thinking that the enamel in front of him was not so simple, and sure enough, the type of 'Shippo Yaki', a very open Japanese enamel! The cloud shopkeeper nodded solemnly and replied.

Master Fu said with some embarrassment: "I really didn't see it just now, but when I heard Lao Yun say this, I suddenly remembered, I have seen the 'Qibao Burn' you said before, but it is not so big or so beautiful." ”

The cloud shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, this Qibao Burning is very exquisite and is a superior work." Xiaoyi, where did you receive it? How much did it cost? ”

Yi Yang replied truthfully: "In a nearby antique shop, the price was 230,000, and the last 200,000 was sold. ”

However, he did not specify which antique shop.

"Two hundred thousand is worth it!" The cloud shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Are you so lucky?" Why do I often wander around and don't see it, and you pick up such a treasure as soon as you come? ”

"Isn't 200,000 a loss?" Yi Yang asked, although the aura emanating from the antique dealer could judge that it was worth a lot, after all, he had never touched this kind of thing before, so he didn't know what its market was like.

"Of course it's not a loss!" The cloud shopkeeper nodded vigorously and said, "This is not an ordinary cloisonné, but a fine 'Shippo ware' enamel from Japan. It's like the boutique in our Chinese cloisonné, which is worth a lot of money! Xiao Yi, don't you know? ”

He looked at Yi Yang with a confused expression, and thought, "With your eyesight and experience, don't you even know this?" ”

"Well, I don't know. Cloud shopkeeper, to tell you the truth, it's the first time I've seen this kind of enamelware, at first I thought it was cloisonne, but if I looked closely, I didn't think it was very similar, cloisonne didn't seem to be so colorful, not so exaggerated. Yi Yang told the truth, he didn't pretend at all, he only knew that the thing exuded a very strong aura, which could have great potential value.

Shopkeeper Yun nodded, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, although you haven't studied Japan's 'Shippo Yaki', you have a really good eye and can see its essence." Compared to cloisonné, an artistic treasure of our country, it does look much more glamorous. But after all, it was made by the Japanese, and the characteristics of their nation are like that, and the expression is more exaggerated and not very subtle.

"Some people don't like 'Shippo yaki', but in the hands of some collectors in Japan, it's fragrant and very sought-after!"

"Well, that's right." Yi Yang nodded in agreement.

"Cloud shopkeeper, Qibao Yao and cloisonné are so similar, what is the difference between them? In what ways? Then, Yi Yang couldn't help but ask curiously.

The cloud shopkeeper replied, "Actually, you have already understood. The difference between the two is mainly in this aspect, first of all, cloisonné is made of enamel, while enamel is an opaque object, but Qibaoyaki is a transparent glaze; Secondly, cloisonné is mixed with pigment enamel, and then filled in the copper wire frame made of silver, the enamel of various colors is very thick and opaque, and Qibao is to apply a layer of red mercury on the bronze ware, make a pattern, and then apply a glass-like thing, completely transparent, but also accompanied by reflection.

"Furthermore, the cloisonné color is within the enamel and the Shippo color is under the vitreous material, which is the most significant difference between the two. In addition, in terms of pattern decoration, Qibao ware is more concise than cloisonné, and its patterns are mostly on the front of the utensils, the theme is prominent, and the bottom is generally no longer decorated with complicated fine lines......"

"So that's it! I have seen it for a long time. Yi Yang said suddenly.

"Where? I'm just a little older than you, and I've seen a little more than you. As a shopkeeper, he shook his head and said.

"I really learned." Yiyang is colorful.

After all, he has only been in this industry for a long time, and he is still in a state of learning.

"Old Yun, although this enamel is very upright and doesn't seem to have any flaws, but this decoration seems to be a little thin, what do you think?" Master Fu asked.

The cloud shopkeeper asked rhetorically, "Do you mean this chrysanthemum pattern?" ”

"Yes." Master Fu nodded and said, "The chrysanthemum pattern is a little monotonous, if it is a cloud dragon pattern and other decorations, it is the icing on the cake, and it is more beautiful!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said disappreciatively: "Lao Fu, it's not what you said. Chrysanthemums like this are one of the characteristics of Shippoyaki. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Master Fu was surprised.

Yi Yang also looked at the cloud shopkeeper curiously, waiting for his answer.

I only heard the cloud shopkeeper say: "Chrysanthemum is the symbol of the Japanese imperial family, and its imperial coat of arms is composed of 16 yellow chrysanthemums, called 'chrysanthemum imperial coat of arms', and the national emblem of Japan also uses this royal coat of arms, so the chrysanthemum is a symbol of the Japanese imperial family and the Japanese regime."

"If I'm not mistaken, this copper cloisonné enamel is from the hands of the Japanese imperial family, and the age is relatively old, the Japanese imperial family made zuò utensils are equivalent to our Chinese imperial utensils, naturally from the official kiln, can things like this not be valuable?"

"I don't have any doubts when you say that." Master Fu said with a smile, "Xiao Yi, congratulations, you have found another big treasure!" ”

"Thank you." Yi Yang said happily, "By coincidence, I came across it." ”

After everyone discussed the Qibao roast for a while, Yi Yang suddenly received a phone call.

The call was from Yin Xiangqin, who accompanied him to the antique street just now, when Yi Yang and them went into Qian Laosan's antique shop to look at things, Yin Xiangqin and Binzi deliberately avoided it, originally they said that they would wait outside the door, but who knew that when they came out, the person disappeared, and Yi Yang was in a hurry to make a deal with Qian Laosan, and he didn't look for them.

"Xiangqin, where are you now? Why didn't we see you guys when we came out? Yi Yang asked.

Yin Xiangqin replied, "We are now in an antique shop diagonally opposite the 'Treasure Hunt'. You're out, aren't you? ”

Yi Yang said: "Well, it's already out." We're here at the cloud shopkeeper. Come here, you're almost done, and you're ready to go back. ”。

Yin Xiangqin said, "Yi Yang, can you come over for a while?" ”

"What's the matter?" Yi Yang was surprised, and said that it might be that the other party saw something eye-catching, and asked him to go over and palm his eyes, but the result was not what he thought.

I only heard Yin Xiangqin say: "I have a friend here, he has two things in his hands, and he can't eat accurately, see if it's inconvenient for you to come over, help her take a look." ”

Yi Yang agreed without hesitation: "Yes." ”

"Then come over and wait for you." Yin Xiangqin said happily, and then told Yi Yang the name and specific location of the antique shop where they were.

Yi Yang then said goodbye and hung up the phone, said goodbye to the cloud shopkeeper and Master Fu, and then left the "Gu Baotang" with their things with Bai Wenchao.

After a while, Yi Yang followed the information provided by Yin Xiangqin to find the antique shop she said.

The antique shop is called "Ruyi Xuan", and the scale is relatively small, far less than "Gu Baotang", and it is much worse than Qian Laosan's "Treasure Hunt".

"Huh?!" But the strange thing is that when approaching the door of the store, Yi Yang sensed an aura, and this aura was very strong, not weaker than the one he sensed in the "Treasure Hunt".

Seeing this, Yi Yang's heart was excited, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked in.

"Yi Yang, are you here?"

As soon as Yi Yang and the others walked into the "Ruyi Xuan", a familiar greeting came from their faces, and it was naturally Yin Xiangqin calling them.

"Hmm." Yi Yang nodded at Yin Xiangqin, who hurriedly came up, and then he noticed that in addition to Binzi, Yin Xiangqin was followed by a person.

It was a young woman, who looked older than them, but not much, twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Yi Yang glanced at the woman very casually, and saw that although the other party's skin was not very white and wheat yellow, a small melon seed face was extremely delicate, and the figure was also good.

"Sister Ling, this is the young appraisal master I just introduced to you, Yi Yang."

Immediately, Yin Xiangqin introduced with a smile.

"Yi Yang, she is my friend, her name is Bai Ling, this 'Ruyi Xuan' is opened by her, but it hasn't been open for long, and it only started business two months ago.

"Hello, Miss Bai." Yi Yang hurriedly nodded to the woman and said hello, showing that she was polite.

The woman called "Bai Ling" looked Yi Yang up and down first, and her eyes showed disbelief, as if she couldn't believe anything.

"Hello, hello. You are welcome to come and play in our store. After being stunned for a moment, Bai Ling reacted, and nodded to Yi Yang and them again and again.

"Xiangqin, you just said that you were looking for me? What is it? Then Yi Yang directly asked about Yin Xiangqin.

Yin Xiangqin replied, "I would like you to come and see two things." Let's go sit down and talk. ”

"Yes, please sit inside." Bai Ling also hurriedly greeted.

At that moment, she warmly invited Yi Yang and them to sit down and served tea and hospitality.

"Xiangqin, it's those two things, let's take a look." While drinking tea, Yi Yang said.

Bai Ling was the first to answer: "Mr. Yi, that thing is mine, not long after I received it, I can't eat it due to poor eyesight, so I want to ask a master like you to help palm my eyes." ”

Yi Yang shook his head and said: "You have won the award, and you don't dare to be a master, but you can take out the things and take a look, and everyone will discuss them together and learn from each other." ”

Bai Ling hurriedly said: "You are too modest, I have heard about your deeds before, I admire you very much, I didn't expect to meet you today, it's such an honor!" ”

After being polite, she didn't say anything, and directly took out the two things that she wanted to ask Yi Yang to identify.

"What a beautiful pair of snuffboxes!"

When the things were taken out and displayed on the tea, Bai Wenchao couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Bai Ling introduced: "This is a pair of snuff bottles, the material tire is painted with enamel, you can show it, see if the thing is right." ”

"Oh?" Yi Yang's eyes froze, and he carefully pinched the two exquisite snuff bottles and examined them carefully.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said bluntly, "Miss Bai, this is just right, but this one has a problem. ”
