Chapter 1097: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

As a family that has been in the Chinese antiques business for generations, Chris has certainly drunk Chinese tea, and loves it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In fact, he likes to make tea with China, and it is completely influenced by his father, when his father plays Chinese antiques, the main field involved is miscellaneous, because calligraphy, painting and furniture and so on, were played by his grandparents and grandparents, so when his father took over the family, he planned to find another way, fortunately, Chinese antiques are broad and profound, and there are a lot of miscellaneous, so his father collected a lot of messy things.

But among those things, what his father is most proud of is probably the Chinese tea set, which is also when his father went to Japan and saw the Yao Changtianmu bowl, especially after knowing that this thing was actually the tea set for folk tea fighting in the Song Dynasty in China, his father began to be obsessed with the Chinese tea ceremony and tea utensils.

After that, his father traveled to China several times a year, and every time he came back, he either brought back a bunch of purple clay pots, or brought back a whole set of tea trays, teacups and other objects made of precious wood, and also collected a lot of ancient Chinese porcelain teapots, teacups and so on.

He even began to abandon the British black tea he had drunk for many years, and began to drink Chinese tea, and he also went to China every spring to buy the best Longjing green tea before the rain and come back to taste the tea.

Not to mention, since his father started drinking Chinese tea, his original high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and other problems have actually been cured, and since then, in their family, this Chinese green tea has risen to the level of a curative elixir.

Even he, under the influence of his father, learned to drink tea and fell in love with it.

The tea in the teacup in his hand now is a typical Chinese tea, not the kind of British, American-style milk tea with sugar and milk, or the tea soup brewed from pure Chinese tea, this tea soup is golden, and the green tea he liked to drink before is not the same, and the tea leaves under the tea soup, he can also see that they are like silver needles, standing in the water, but the branches and leaves have not been stretched out by the water bubbles.

As an expert in Chinese tea, Chris Zhi took a look and knew that this should be the top Chinese Huangshan Maojian tea, although it is not his favorite Hangzhou green tea, but it is also one of his favorite tea varieties, but it seems that he has not drunk this tea for many years.

However, compared with the tea soup in this teacup, he paid more attention to the teacup containing the tea, this teacup was very light and thin in his hand, if it wasn't for the tea in the teacup, Chris dared to guarantee that he would definitely not feel the weight of this teacup.

Such a thin teacup, there is piping hot tea soup inside, but now he doesn't feel that this teacup is hot at all, which shows that the enamel of this teacup must have worked hard.

Then he lifted the teacup and raised it to his eyes, facing the sunlight shining through the window, he could actually see the sunlight penetrating the wall of the teacup and the rippling scene of the tea soup in the teacup, which showed that the teacup wall of the teacup was very thin, and the light transmission was excellent.

Martin watched Chris's movements, and also raised the teacup in the same way, put it in the sun, and then found that he could actually see the scene of tea rippling in the teacup through the wall of the teacup.

Although Martin is not as proficient in antiques as Chris, after all, he also grew up in such a family, and he has seen a lot of good things, and their family has been committed to searching for Chinese antiques everywhere for so many years.

And as far as he knows, in fact, the best thing Chinese play is porcelain, otherwise their English name, how can it be called porcelain country?

In the ancient and medieval eras, in this world, no one can even be better at playing ceramics than them, but in modern times, China's ceramic technology, can be in decline, as far as the world is concerned, the world's best to play ceramics, is the British Dalton, they produce bone china porcelain, can be said to be the top model of modern porcelain.

There are several Japanese, German, and American porcelain factories that are also good, but compared to the British Royal Dalton, it always feels that it is a little less hot.

But today, after looking at this tea cup in his hand, he can feel why when he used to be at the family gathering, whenever he and his family mentioned the British Royal Dalton, his family members would always have a disdainful smile on their faces, it seems that the British Wan porcelain, or a short time, compared with the Chinese, still lack of heritage!

This porcelain is white porcelain for the ground, and then on the outside of the porcelain painted peach blossoms, and plum blossom painting, this painting is hand-painted at a glance, and the current kind of mass production of porcelain, the use of spraying technology is completely different.

This Nima is amazing, what kind of porcelain is this, Martin held the teacup in his hand, a little distracted, and Chris, who was sitting next to him, also felt a little dazed at this time.

The teacup in his hand is a covered bowl, the teacup is painted on the outside of a peach blossom, the teacup is very light and thin, the light transmittance is excellent, he also quietly played, gently flicked on the cup, every time can send out a crisp echo, which shows that the cup clay used in the teacup is the best porcelain clay for firing white porcelain.

It seems that there is not much of this kind of porcelain clay left in the world now, so where is this porcelain produced from?

Looking at the bottom, this teacup doesn't seem to have a bottom, just looking at the painting on the teacup, it is difficult to tell which era this teacup was produced.

Anyway, with Chris's understanding of Chinese porcelain, he really hadn't seen this kind of tea set porcelain before, after all, most of the Chinese porcelain that their family got in the past were ornaments, such as what screens, what vases, or what imitation jade jade and the like, such white porcelain tea sets are really rare.

Even his father, who likes Chinese tea sets, has collected so many tea sets, and it seems that he has never collected such tea sets.

So at this time, Chris felt a headache, he couldn't determine what era this tea set was produced, but one thing is certain, that is, this tea set must be a baby.

As an expert in antique appraisal, although he is not yet the top master of antique appraisal, he can still see what is good and what is not.

In his opinion, good Chinese porcelain, often carry with such a momentum, sometimes a thing, in fact, as long as you look at it, as soon as you get started, you can know whether it is a good thing, without too much identification, sometimes almost an instinctive reaction, you can determine the authenticity of a thing, and good or bad.

And now the teacup in his hand, of course, is like this, he just looks at it, and as soon as he gets his hands on it, he knows that this set of teacups must be a treasure with a background.

In particular, although it is not possible to determine the origin of this tea set, Chris has already made up his mind, and then ask the Asian shopkeeper first, and ask him if this thing is sold, if he doesn't sell it, hehe, then it's easy to do, go back and contact some people by yourself, use some extraordinary means, and then Lao Tzu won't believe it, and he won't sell it.

If he still insists on refusing to sell, then it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to kill his whole family, and then the treasure will still fall into his own hands, anyway, for some treasures, the case of destroying people is nothing new for those museums in the United States.

Behind the scenes, who of you has not done such a lack of morality?

Anyway, no matter what means are used, as long as you can get your hands on the things, it will be the best.

At this time, Chris had already made up his mind, and he would definitely use all means to get this furniture and this tea set in his hands when he turned around, and at this time, there was a noise at the door of the VIP room where they were, and then the door was opened.

After that, I saw a small cart being pushed in, on this small cart, there was a very tall thing, but this thing was covered with a cover, and it was impossible to see what was inside the cover from the outside, but just by seeing the Chinese shopkeeper, that careful posture, Chris knew that the things inside the cover must be extraordinary.

Soon the shopkeeper pushed the cart in front of them, and then lifted the cover on the cart, and then Chris saw that behind the cover, there was actually a two-story shelf, and on the shelf, there were two large golden table clocks.

These two grandfather clocks are gold-carved as the base, and then a variety of inlay and enamel processes are used on them, and there are many gems of various colors inlaid on them, and there are many exquisite paintings on other key parts of the grandfather clock, and the top of the grandfather clock, there are various filigree and carved shapes, just this shape, has given people a feeling of dazzling eyes.

At this time, even Martin, a layman, was amazed when he saw such two beautiful grandfather clocks, not to mention Chris at this time...

At this time, Chris was completely amazed by these two gorgeously workmanship and exquisite grandfather clocks, he had seen a lot of treasures before, but those Chinese antiques, most of them were calligraphy, paintings, and furniture, and those Chinese antiques, most of them were relatively low-key and introverted, paying attention to a bearing.

The style of the two grandfather clocks in front of him is completely different from the Chinese antiques he has seen before, and it is definitely a Western-style temperament. (To be continued.) )
