The color of this bowl is very gorgeous, the play body is a blue and white glaze on a yellow background, painted with a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, it is very festive to look at, coupled with the yellow light that constantly flashes on the play body, Jin Muchen can conclude with just one eye that this should definitely be a royal object.
And looking at the form of this bowl, this is certainly not a utility, but an ornamental device.
Looking at the festive pattern on it, Jin Muchen guessed that this should be an ornamental device made by an emperor during his wedding.
Based on his experience of dealing with porcelain, he only needs to make a general push to think of several pieces of porcelain from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty that he has handled before.
Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng liked the blue and white glaze on the yellow background the most, and he was the same as his father, he was a fan of the special porcelain of the Chenghua Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
turned the bowl over and took a look, and sure enough, he saw the style of the Chenghua year, and Jin Muchen basically had a bottom in his heart, which should be a yellow-bottomed blue and white high-foot bowl in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.
The reason why he dared to be so sure was that on the one hand, he had handled several pieces of porcelain from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty before, and on the other hand, it was also because the yellow light on this bowl kept flashing, which reminded him that this must be a real thing.
Another major reason is that he has read a lot of books about domestic antiques before, and in those books, he once saw an ornamental vessel similar to this bowl.
It was a white-glazed sunflower petal bowl from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, which is now hidden in the Palace Museum in Beijing, and that bowl is different from this bowl. The bowl has a white glaze background. There is no pattern on it. And it's not a high-foot bowl, but the sunflower petal pattern at the mouth of the bowl is exactly the same as this bowl.
Such a bowl shape, has always been rare, the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Emperor made a few, but his bowl outside is a bucket color pattern, and to the Qing Dynasty, there is only the Yongzheng period. I've made bowls like this.
The Qing Palace's office has not been able to make a bowl of doucai, so this bowl, if you guess correctly, should belong to Emperor Yongzheng.
"How much does this bowl cost?"
Jin Muchen looked up and asked the person opposite, who was still wearing a hood, and the scarf on his face had not been taken off, and he was still very vigilant in his clothes.
He watched Jin Muchen so seriously before, and after reading it. Just ask the price directly, this style really doesn't look like the style of the FBI. At this time, I was also relieved.
"This bowl costs $100,000."
100,000? Jin Muchen touched his chin, it is not expensive, with the quality of this bowl, and its origin, as long as it is brought back to China, it must be worth at least two or three million, after all, this is a product of the royal family of the official kiln, and it is also because this is an ornamental device, and the shape of the vessel is not small, if there is a pair, the price will definitely be doubled.
"No problem, deal. Help me wrap it up. ”
Jin Muchen readily agreed to the other party's offer, which surprised the other party, they have come to this market a few times, but it is really the first time that a customer like Jin Muchen who does not bargain at all has met it.
In the past, the antique dealers they met, even if they liked the things in their hands, they were bargaining to the death, because they knew that they were thieves, and according to the market price, it was at most one-tenth of the market value.
At this time, that Henry couldn't help but slap his boss next to him, and his eyes were full of excitement, as if he was saying to his boss: Look, I'm right!
Jin Muchen handed the bowl to the other party, and in front of him, the other party put the bowl into a black plastic bag, and then filled it with small white foam balls, and then wrapped the bag tightly with tape.
Jin Muchen opened the lockbox, counted out 100,000 yuan directly from it, and handed it to the other party, who also took out a money detector and quickly counted and checked the money on it.
At the same time as the other party counted and checked the money, Jin Muchen began to continue rummaging in the travel bag.
But this time, he pulled out a few large packages with the same packaging as before, these packages were about forty by fifty centimeters square, and the wrapping was tight, and it was very heavy to get started, and he didn't know what was in the bread.
Jin Muchen was even more curious about the contents of this package, could it be that all the bread here is oil paintings?
If it is an oil painting, then it will be developed, Jin Muchen thought to himself, but this weight is really not like an oil painting, even if the oil painting is framed, it looks not small, but in fact, it is not very heavy, so what are these packages wrapped in?
He pulled the four black packages out of his travel bag, then took out his knife, cut through the tape on the outside, removed the foam ball inside, and reached inside.
When the thing was pulled out of it, he was also stunned, Nima, what is this? Tiles?
But the tiles aren't that big, are they?
He looked at the thing in his hand, but a thought quickly flashed through his mind, and then his heart jumped, but in order not to let the pair of thieves on the other side see it, he tried to suppress the excitement in his heart as much as possible.
To be exact, he was holding several porcelain plates, which could also be called ceramic tiles according to the current parlance, but unlike the tiles used in modern houses, these porcelain plates are very large, and there are many colorful and colorful paintings on the outside of these tiles.
In professional terms, this is called porcelain panel painting, which is a kind of art ceramics that have only become popular in modern times.
It was first in the Ming Dynasty, but the porcelain plate paintings at that time, the general type and painting area were very small, and they were also assembled in sets with other furniture, mainly to play the role of some decorative furniture, so that the furniture was more beautiful, reflecting the owner's aesthetic taste, and could not be regarded as a mainstream work of art.
The real appearance of porcelain panel painting as a form of art was during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
During that time, a group of porcelain makers and art creators, in order to make a living, gathered in Jingdezhen, and some painters who were good at painting came up with such an idea to fire a special porcelain plate painting, so that they could be stored as an independent decorative art, unlike most of the decorations on the furniture before.
It was at that time that the truly modern porcelain panel painting was born.
This trend lasted until 1928, a merchant booked porcelain plate paintings, porcelain plate painting artists Wang Qi, Wang Dafan contacted fellow Deng Bishan, Wang Yeting, He Xuren, Cheng Yiting, Bi Botao, Liu Yucen, each painted a porcelain plate painting, after the painting, the businessmen took out their works for sale, but unexpectedly won an unexpected market after.
Many people were very surprised and liked their works when they saw them, so other businessmen came to invite the eight of them to continue painting.
In this way, these eight people later set up a porcelain art society, take the meaning of "good flowers, full moon, life expectancy", and call it "full moon meeting", meet every month to look at the sun, the full moon gathers in Zhushan, to draw friends, to gather friends, to learn from painting, called "Zhushan Eight Friends".
And Zhushan Bayou has become the most famous porcelain panel painter in modern times, and their works are now hard to find on the market.
Now as long as you can find the work of any one of them, as long as it is auctioned, it will not be a problem to shoot 1.8 million yuan.
If you can get together the complete set of works they collectively pretended to be back then, then it is not a big deal to shoot 30 or 50 million.
Jin Muchen looked at the porcelain plate paintings in front of him, most of these porcelain plate paintings were constantly flashing with white light, which showed that these should be works of old age, and they should still be high-quality works, which can be regarded as high-end antiques.
However, the statue on the first porcelain plate painting surprised Jin Muchen, because it was actually a naked @ woman in a veil, and it was also a Chinese naked @ woman, she was wearing a typical Chinese-style bun, with no strands on her body, only a light gauze draped over her shoulders, and she reached out to hold a pair of porcelain screens on the right, and the porcelain screen was also painted with a lifelike Xiashan tiger.
To her left is a round table with a vase of flowers and a fruit bowl next to it.
There are some inscriptions on the top, and there is a seal at the bottom, which should be the name of the creator.
Jin Muchen took a closer look, and saw that the round seal was printed with the words Xiping Jushi, seeing this name, Jin Muchen's heart was settled, and the other fly-headed Xiaokai basically didn't need to look at it.
Looking at the texture of the porcelain plate, the porcelain fetal quality is delicate, the shape is square and perfect, the porcelain plate is flat, the thickness is uniform, and it is not wrong to look at the porcelain plate, Jin Muchen has basically concluded that this should be the work of Wang Dafan, one of the eight friends of Zhushan.
I was looking at another porcelain plate painting, which painted the pattern of two blind men dressed in the Qing Dynasty fighting, one of the blind men holding the collar of the other blind man, and holding a branch in his hand, the pattern is lifelike, and even the angry expression on the blind man's face is also very similar.
The pattern is realistic, and there is no trace of detachment, the text on the work is traditional regular script, the font language is mellow and generous, quite a natural feeling.
Jin Muchen didn't look at those regular scripts carefully, he only cared about the nomination of the seal on the porcelain plate: Tao Midaoren.
This is the work of Wang Qi, one of the eight friends of Zhushan, and after it is confirmed, Jin Muchen's heart has been beating suddenly, this is special, it seems that he is really going to pick up a big leak.
If Uncle Fang knew that he could pick up a complete set of works of Zhushan Bayou here, then he would not have to laugh?
That's a good thing in the tens of millions! I just don't know, how does the other party set the price?
Thinking of this, he secretly raised his eyes to glance at the two people opposite, only to see that Henry and his eldest brother were looking at him with anticipation. (To be continued......)
