Chapter 515: A Hidden Treasure in the Sea
Too much, not easy to bring?
How many antiques did you get, and five people came in, and they actually said too much, it's not easy to bring?
Wang Limin, Father Qi and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and Donald's eyes were a little dull......
"Too much, not easy to bring? Hehe, let's go, let's go over and take a look, I want to know, what good things can you get this time, there are too many, it's not easy to take ......" Donald took the lead in getting up and said.
"This thing is rare for others, but for Donald, I'm afraid it's not so rare, let's go out and have a look." Wang Jun said with a smile.
Everyone walked out of the gate of Tang's house, and outside the door, several luxury cars were parked, including Tang Dashao's Land Rover, Wang Jun's Hummer, Qi Yunxiao's Ferrari, and several BMW Mercedes-Benz, the most significant is the box car not far away......
Donald saw the box car at first glance when he got out of the door, the closed door made Donald stagnate, he thought that the so-called 'too much, not easy to bring' was put in the trunk of the car, who knew that he actually saw a box car, how many things did this thing have to pull?
"Tang Fei, are you all in this box car?" Wang Limin asked softly.
"Well, it's not full." Tang Dashao nodded.
Antiques have to be packed in box carts, how many things are in it? This kid can't have robbed a certain Jingshi's museum......
"Let's go, let's see!" Donald said in a deep voice.
Before coming to the box car, Tang Dashao and Wang Jun didn't find anyone to help, they took it personally, opened the car, and revealed dozens of square cartons of all sizes inside, wrapped in n layers with tape, and the words 'handle gently' were written on it......
"It's all here?" Donald asked softly by pointing to the cardboard box in the carriage.
"Well, Donald, I'm afraid the contents are really not rare to you." Tang Dashao said with a smile.
"Am it uncommon to me? Hehe, get a box, let me see what it is that makes you have such a big fight. Donald laughed.
Tang Dashao was below, Wang Jun was above, picked a smaller box and handed it over, it was all porcelain, so naturally you should be careful when taking it.
"Take it apart!" Donald said in a deep voice.
Tang Dashao followed his words, used the key he carried as a blade, gently cut the tape on the top of the desire, and then slowly opened it, and what appeared inside was a layer of colored foam-like object, uncovering the protective layer of the foam, and finally revealing the true face inside......
At the top of the box were two small white bowls and two blue and white cups......
"Mao porcelain ......," Donald said slowly, taking a deep breath......
He couldn't know more about this kind of porcelain, when the founding Taizu personally gave himself a set, because the folk custom at that time was to come to the distinguished guests, the main family should be full of seven plates, eight bowls of food as entertainment, so when Taizu gave him this porcelain, it was seven plates, eight bowls, a total of fifteen pieces of porcelain, one of which was also Wang Limin to leave......
Wang Limin and Qi's father were stunned, it was actually Mao porcelain......
This thing can't talk about antiques, but its reputation in the collection world is not small, and its value has been rising, but unfortunately there is very little outflow, most of which are in the hands of wealthy families in China, and they were all given by the founding ancestor of the country......
The pinnacle of modern porcelain craftsmanship, the milestone works, are indeed beautiful, and the delicate process is not worse than the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, or even more prominent......
Wang Jun was also stunned when he saw it, although he knew that this carriage was full of porcelain, but after all, he had never seen it on the spot, and he had seen the small plate of his own house before that......
"This, it's all here?" Donald asked with some trembling points, pointing to a carriage of things.
"Well, there are four hundred and eighty-eight pieces in total, there are plates, there are small bowls, there are teapots, there are teacups, basically these four things, and finally there is a set of drinking utensils." Tang Dashao said softly.
"Four hundred and eighty-eight?" Everyone gasped......
It's really scared to death, four hundred and eighty-eight pieces, not to mention the value, the number alone is enough to scare a group of collectors to death, not everyone can be like the Wang family, specially get two treasure troves to put things, many collectors, in their lifetime, the collection is probably not more than 100 pieces......
"You...... Amazing, so much porcelain, I'm afraid that out of Taizu's house, you are the most, where did you get so many things? Could it be that you swept the entire Yuquan Mountain Nursing Home? No, it can't be, those old guys can't give you all these things no matter how much they spoil you. ”
"Besides, there's that set of barware, do you know what this set of barware represents?" Donald asked in a deep voice.
"Huh? Isn't it Mao porcelain? There may be very little barware. Tang Dashao replied softly.
"You are wrong, not only is it less, it is very little, as far as I know, there are only three sets of wine utensils in the porcelain in Mao, one of which was given to the President of the United States, one set was left by Taizu himself, and the other set was given to our founding prime minister, and in addition, no one has seen the appearance of wine utensils."
"It's just that I know where these three sets of drinking utensils are, and where did you come from?" Donald's brows furrowed......
"Only three sets of barware? Could it be that these things are fake, and they are not porcelain porcelain? Wang Jun asked a little stupidly.
"No, this is Mao porcelain, maybe it's just that the wine set, Tang Fei, what about the wine set?" Donald asked.
"Brother Wang, that set of wine utensils is in the innermost, and there is a red label that I specially stored it at that time." Tang Dashao said softly.
Soon Wang Jun found the box with the red label and carefully put it down.
Tang Dashao opened the box, gently put it down and uncovered the thin foam protective layer, and a strangely shaped wine jug, plus six wine glasses, appeared in front of everyone......
Tang Lao frowned when he saw the wine jug, touched it lightly and then shook his head and said: "It's strange, it's Mao porcelain, it's exactly the same as what I saw in Taizu's house back then, but aren't there only three such wine jugs?" Where did this fourth one come from? Tang Fei, where did you get this batch of porcelain? ”
"Here's the thing, I ...... at that time" Tang Dashao heard this, and told him again about the process of getting Mao porcelain......
"Porcelain merchant, surnamed Pan? I have heard of this family, the famous porcelain merchants in the north have been doing business since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the porcelain given to Taizu by the masters who fired porcelain was transported all the way by them. Donald said in a deep voice.
"What? Donald, do you mean that the Pan family privately swallowed the porcelain that originally belonged to Taizu? But it's not right, the two sides always have to reconcile, how can he, a merchant transporting porcelain, swallow it privately? Tang Dashao asked in disbelief.
"It's not good to say, the situation back then was too chaotic, and I didn't pay attention to this matter, maybe they colluded with some people to swallow it privately, or maybe it was the loss of how many old people who fired porcelain at that time, you must know that porcelain is expensive and fragile."
"Transported from the south to the north, the road conditions at that time were not as good as now, and it was normal if there was a loss on the way, maybe this batch of porcelain was part of the loss, or maybe it was something else, but this qiē has passed, Taizu has been gone for so many years, the masters who fired porcelain at that time are also gone, and the old man of the Pan family is also gone, this is simply a headless public case, and there is no way to investigate...... Tang Lao shook his head and said.
"Headless public case? Hehe, this thing, now in my hands, has become part of my collection, the future museum opened, the porcelain museum has added a lot of color, Tang Sancai, Song five famous kilns, Yuan blue and white, Ming and Qing porcelain, modern porcelain, almost all together. Tang Dashao said with a smile.
"Hehe, you kid, your heart is quite big, Tang Sancai's thing was originally hyped up by foreigners, and then a large number of fakes appeared, and the value of Tang Sancai plummeted, even slightly inferior to some fine Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, your kid's eyesight is high enough, Tang Sancai is not difficult to collect, just go to various auction houses to take a look."
"The fine products in the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are not easy to collect, especially Jun porcelain, which is very rare, but if you have the ability, there is a place where countless porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are buried."
"Yuan Qinghua, recently been very popular, Guiguzi down the mountain pot, is a record of the auction price of Chinese cultural relics, but there are also inflated components, which are deliberately hyped up by those collectors abroad, but there is an example, since this period of time, the value of Yuan Qinghua has risen gradually, and it is not very easy to collect."
"In contrast, the Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain in the folk kiln boutique is still relatively large, belongs to the easiest to collect porcelain, the official kiln boutique is mostly in the Beijing Museum, and there are many in the Eight-Nation Alliance Army when they were robbed of the Old Summer Palace, so relatively speaking, there are many official kiln boutiques of Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain." Donald chuckled softly.
Tang Dashao knew that Tang Lao was instructing himself on how to gather the collections needed for the porcelain museum......
"Old Tang, just now you said that there is a place where countless porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are buried? Where is it? Why haven't I heard of it? Tang Dashao asked.
Song five famous kiln porcelain is the best of the fine, the value is extremely high, ordinary plum vase to start at one million, the value of things is naturally because of its rarity, Tang Dashao has not heard of where there is a large number of Song five famous kiln porcelain......
"Could it be the cemetery of the emperor of the Song Dynasty? There must be collections there, and they are all high-quality products, but such a thing as excavating ancient tombs should not be done by private individuals, even if there is the support of Donald and his own old man behind him. ”
"Everything underground is state, but the law clearly stipulates it, besides, with the character of the old man and the old man, it is okay to let yourself discover and then give it to the country, and let yourself take advantage of the country, these two will never agree...... Tang Dashao thought......
"Where? The sea, of course! Donald said solemnly!
