"Boss, what do you like? If you really like it, just get started? ”
The middle-aged boss greeted Jin Muchen with a smile and said, Jin Muchen didn't answer directly, just nodded at him lightly.
The boss was also interested, so he immediately flashed to the side, giving Jin Muchen time to watch quietly by himself.
Jin Muchen is not very interested in these porcelains on the table, especially the cups, dishes and dishes of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China that this boss values very much, to be honest, it is difficult for such porcelain to enter his eyes now.
After only a few glances, Jin Muchen lost interest, and then simply squatted down and stared at the porcelain at the bottom of the shelf, especially the several sets of porcelain that were constantly shining with dazzling white light.
Several sets of porcelain, all of which are mainly cups, bowls, plates and saucers, and four cups, at a glance, you can know that they are practical utensils, not ornamental utensils.
If it is an ornamental vessel, you may have to pay attention to the size of the vessel, whether the shape is exquisite or not, as well as the pattern on the porcelain, whether the statue is realistic, whether the painting is beautiful or something.
But the practical ware, but not so much exquisite, this kind of thing is mainly about a practical, even if it is a Chinese royal porcelain, at most on the top of the blue and white, color or something, will not pay special attention to the shape, how the glaze, as long as the workmanship is exquisite enough.
And these cups, dishes, and dishes in front of me are also a complete set, but they look at the type of utensils. and the utilitarian ware inside Chinese porcelain. It's not the same.
Let's start with this plate. The handicap is very shallow, unlike the practical porcelain plate made in China, which is generally deeper.
And the bowl is even more exaggerated, it is actually painted with colorful patterns, and even at the mouth of the bowl, there is a circle of golden decorative patterns, but such patterns are not typical Chinese decorative patterns. It looks like it's full of Western overtones.
And the drawings on the bowl are also different, with floral patterns, some European mythological statues and so on.
As for the cup or something, it's almost the same style, anyway, it's very different from the Chinese porcelain teacup.
You only need to take a look at it to see that this should be a set of imported products, but these three sets of imported products are not in good condition.
Although the overall condition of the three sets of cutlery is very complete, there is no sign of opening or bumping. But most of the patterns on these cups, dishes and saucers are incomplete.
Most likely, it was due to improper storage. Or when cleaning after use, the method used is not right, so those patterns are all scratched, which makes these cups, dishes and dishes immediately seem to have a lot of loss.
But fortunately, although the pattern is basically spent, but the white porcelain inside is exposed, it can be seen that these white porcelain, fired very finely, should belong to the best porcelain of the year.
Along with these three sets of cups, bowls and saucers, there are a lot of broken porcelain, some of which are open, some of which are notched, and many broken porcelain pieces.
The boss's three sets of cups, dishes and dishes were put together with these worn-out porcelain, obviously not much hope for these three sets of porcelain.
"What? Boss, are you just getting started? ”
The stall owner didn't look at the porcelain that Jin Muchen put on it, and stared at the porcelain residues he put at the bottom of the stall, and then looked at his dress, hanging a big bag and a small wrap, which were filled with handicrafts that had just been picked up from other stalls.
He has been setting up a stall in this market for many years, and he has seen a lot of such people.
Stallholders like them, who have been practicing in the antique market for many years, have honed their money strings, and those rookies who have just entered the antique industry are no longer as easy to fool as they were in the early years.
Nowadays, those antique programs are shown on TV all day long, so the rookies who are interested in antiques now are much more savvy than the previous rookies.
According to his experience, these rookies who have just started are not like those rookies in the past, who entered the market, saw something similar, and gritted their teeth to take it.
Now these rookies, when they first get started, they like to work the residual porcelain, on the one hand, this thing does not cost much, and secondly, they can also understand the characteristics of porcelain in various eras according to these residual porcelain, so as to accumulate experience.
The look of the kid staring at these remnants of porcelain in front of him was the same as the rookies he had met before.
Looking at the smugness that flashed in the boss's eyes, Jin Muchen did not deny his judgment, but just smiled and nodded lightly.
"Boss, take out these porcelain remnants and show them to me."
"Okay, you wait a minute."
The boss took out all the porcelain remnants placed at the bottom of the stall shelves as he spoke, Jin Muchen pretended to pick up a few pieces of porcelain remnants and looked at them, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, this boss is not authentic.
You say that there are fakes in the porcelain on your shelves, but even these residual porcelain, is it too much for you to fake?
Take a few pieces of porcelain bowls and plates with the characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties that he got his hands on, these bowls and plates look very similar to the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but if you taste them carefully, you can find clues.
For example, the color on this porcelain does not look like it was fired in the firewood kiln back then, and it also has obvious traces of aging, and even some of the parts and bowls are deliberately made.
These things are obviously the props that this stall owner uses to deceive those rookies who are really just getting started.
"Boss, you can take a good look, these plates and bowls are all porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties that I specially collected, if it weren't for the defects, I would definitely not put them here." You can rest assured, if you buy sincerely, we should make a friend, I will definitely give you a preferential price. ”
This boss's chest is beating on the mountain, but if Jin Muchen doesn't like him at all, he scolds even more secretly in his heart, if you believe you, there will be no scum left in the pit for you?
"Boss, what are your three sets, where do you come from? I look at this style, but it's not the same as those? ”
Jin Muchen picked up one of the few imported porcelains and looked at them pretendedly, actually wanting to see the bottom of these porcelains.
Although it is imported porcelain, the white light flickering on this porcelain, but tell him again, these sets of porcelain must be the utensils of the nobles from extraordinary backgrounds.
The development of porcelain in Europe has a history of hundreds of years, and if it is a fine product in the early years, then under the plate or quilt, there will definitely be a base when it left the factory.
It's a pity that he picked up several in a row, but he couldn't see the style.
And on the part of the bottom surface, you can also see the traces of brushing with improper measures, and even scratches.
Presumably, this porcelain should be too old, and because it is a practical tool, in the early years, there were not so many professional tools for brushing porcelain as now, so when brushing, the porcelain was accidentally injured and the bottom was scraped off.
"Haha, young man, you are asking the right person, this set of porcelain style is indeed not the same as our Chinese porcelain, that is because, these sets of porcelain are things left by the German colonial army, my grandmother used to be a translator in the Jiaoao Governor's Palace, and she has been doing it for decades. These porcelains were given to my grandmother by the Germans. ”
The shopkeeper spoke very seriously, but Jin Muchen wanted to laugh when he heard it, you are just talking nonsense.
It is said that his grandmother's age should indeed have experienced that period of history, but it is said that his grandmother worked as a translator in the Jiaoao Governor's Mansion, and Jin Muchen did not believe it.
At that time, the city of Jade Bird had just been taken by the Germans, and the whole city had just been established, and the Jiaoao Governor's Mansion had probably just been built, and your grandmother was working as a translator in it at that time?
You must know that the Germans in Blue Bird City back then were all a group of navy, just a group of reckless men, can you use your grandmother as a translator? How long did the Germans stay at Bluebird? I was driven away by the Japanese!
I'm afraid it's almost the same where your grandmother is a maid, but looking at the way this guy said this, the eyes were gurgling, Jin Muchen estimated that this guy was probably lying, either the story he said was made up, or what he said was someone else's grandmother's story.
However, he did not dismantle him, but continued to examine the sets of porcelain in front of him, and sure enough, under one of the cups, he found the clue.
Although the bottom of this porcelain was also scratched and scarred due to improper brushing, the mark of a small blue stick could be vaguely seen.
"These three sets of tableware, the number of preserved is quite complete, but this quality is not very good, you look at the patterns are falling off, scratched, and the porcelain is also full of scratch marks......"
Jin Muchen picked up a few and pointed at them, but the boss was not angry at all, but smiled.
The more the other party picks, the more important the other party attaches to these three sets of porcelain, and the more picky he is, the more he is picky, the more the business has a door.
"Boss, if you really like it, I'll give you a real price. These three sets of tableware, you also said, the number of preservation is very complete, although the hanging image is indeed miserable, but after all, it is also a hundred and ten years ago, so let's do it, these three sets of three sets of three thousand five each, I will give you a discount, you simply give a total of 10,000! ”
The stall owner blinked his small eyes, looked at Jin Muchen and said sincerely.
He had been collecting these three sets of utensils for several years, and it only cost three hundred to get it at that time, and he didn't understand it at first, but if it wasn't for the fact that it was really an old object, he would have smashed it and disposed of it. (To be continued......)
