What Jin Muchen said is also half-true, this cylinder should be an old object of the Qing Dynasty from the perspective of the type, and it is indeed very worn, which does make this pen holder greatly discounted in terms of price.

But what he didn't say was that this pen holder was made of rosewood, and this alone was very valuable.

What's more, he still has purple jade space, which can repair such a pen holder, once this cylinder is repaired, the price is not easy to say.

"I see!"

Nagari touched his white beard and said in a deep voice, this thing has been in his house for decades, and he has never taken it too seriously before, otherwise he would not have used this thing as a sink for drinking horses and a stake for tethering horses.

"Okay, Kim, I don't know much about this, or you should give a price!"

Gary kicked the ball back to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen looked at the pen holder, after so many years of tethering the horse, the carving on the outside has been almost worn out, and he can only vaguely see that it is a statue of a stone mountain and green bamboo.

Fortunately, this is a red sandalwood pen holder, because the material is very good, so it has been used as a sink for so many years, and there is no crack or the like, but the barrel mouth of the pen holder has been bumped out of a lot of traces by the horse's teeth because of the horse's drinking.

"Well, if this tube is in perfect condition and well preserved. I might give you $30,000. But now? Even if you buy it back. I'm also going to find someone to fix it, which takes a lot of money and a lot of time...... So, Gary I can only give you three thousand dollars. ”

When Jin Muchen reported this price, he felt a little weak, after all, just this red sandalwood material, such a large piece, the price is more than that.

I didn't expect that Gary over there. actually slapped the face: "Deal!" ”

A wooden stake that has been left for decades, and it is a wooden stake that is so tightly worn, can be sold for three thousand dollars, how can he disagree.

Both sides were very satisfied with this transaction, not to mention that Jin Muchen directly gave three thousand cash, which made the Lewis couple even more happy, and after Mrs. Lawrence returned to the room, she specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

In such a pleasant atmosphere, everyone ate and chatted and spent a pleasant night. The next day, when the sky cleared, Jin Muchen and Candace chose to leave the farm.

The Lewis also filled up Jin Muchen's F150. It can be seen that the two old men are satisfied with yesterday's transaction, as for Jin Muchen, not to mention Cheng Dù, who is satisfied with this transaction, if it weren't for Candace by his side, he couldn't help but want to throw the red sandalwood pen holder into the space last night to repair it.

"It seems that Uncle Fang is really right, your luck is really good enough, this antique exhibition has not even started, it has already ushered in a good start, that pen holder should be a very good thing, right?"

Looking at Jin Muchen, who was in a happy mood, Candace couldn't help but ask quipping in the co-pilot.

Jin Muchen didn't hide it, and nodded: "It's good, but you have also seen the situation of the pen holder, after I go back, if I want to repair it, it will take a lot of energy and time." ”

Candace didn't ask too much, Jin Muchen continued to drive forward, the road in front of him, after a night of emergency repairs, has been reopened to traffic, and soon before nine o'clock in the morning, the two came to the exhibition area of the Brimfield antiques exhibition in the eastern suburbs of the city.

When they arrived at the place, before they got off the bus, both of them were already suppressed by the momentum of this antique exhibition, no wonder people dared to claim the largest flea market in New England, just looking at the scale, people did not lie.

After finding a place to park the car, the two walked to the inside of the exhibition area, and before entering the exhibition area, they also looked at the display board outside, which introduced some information about the flea market.

With more than 5,000 collectibles dealers' stalls, the market is the size of 23 farms and sells everything from antique furniture and fine art to colorful used clothes.

You can slip on leather jackets from the '70s biker party to Louis XV's chest of drawers, you name it, as long as your pockets are deep enough.

A market of this scale is difficult to compare with even the rose bowl market that Jin Muchen has been to before!

Soon he was wandering with Candace, with a few snacks in hand, walking and strolling.

This market covers a large enough area, and there are a lot of merchants who come to exhibit, and many of the things they bring are good things, although Jin Muchen and Candace seem to be watching the flowers along the way, but his eyes have never left those stalls, just want to find some good things from those stalls.

The golden eye with the natural ability is at full power at this time, always keeping an eye out for those treasures that will have a flash of jewelry.

I also saw a few things along the way, but after walking over and taking a closer look, Jin Muchen would inevitably feel a little disappointed in his heart.

It's true that those things are good, but the stall owners are also knowledgeable people, so the price of those treasures is also not low, even if he wants to buy it, he has to weigh whether the price is appropriate.

But after weighing it in his heart, he quickly gave up the idea of buying it.

In this way, accompanied by the excitement of discovering the treasure and the disappointment of being blocked by the high price, the two of them went to the small half of the market, and until noon, Jin Muchen failed to buy anything good.

But just when the two of them were about to find a place to have lunch, Jin Muchen's eyes suddenly stopped at a stall.

This stall specializes in selling porcelain, and their porcelain is in different styles, including Chinese-style porcelain and Western-style porcelain, and there are not a few fakes, and there are also many fine products.

But what really attracted Jin Muchen's attention was a treasure he put in a wooden basin at the front of the stall, and Jin Muchen could see the dazzling golden light emitted by it from a long distance, so he couldn't hold it back and walked over with Candace.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged white man in his forties and fifties, and when he saw Jin Muchen coming forward, he enthusiastically introduced all the treasures in his stall to Jin Muchen one by one.

There are indeed a lot of good things in his stall, and there are even a few genuine blue and white vases from the Qing Dynasty, but the asking price is not low, and the asking price is also not low for a few pieces of European court-style porcelain.

Jin Muchen just stood aside and listened to the stall owner's mouth, until he finished speaking, Jin Muchen pointed to the contents of the wooden basin in front of the stall and asked the stall owner: "Boss, how do you sell this thing?" ”

There were some cups and plates in the wooden basin, and they all looked like flawed porcelain, similar to the porcelain sold by Pan Jiayuan, and the boss couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw that Jin Muchen was not very interested in his high-priced products, but stared at those porcelain remnants.

"Those are some porcelain pieces that are not well maintained, if you like them, just pick them, they all have price tags."

After speaking, he stopped paying attention to Jin Muchen, but Jin Muchen was overjoyed, then squatted down and began to pick it up in the basin.

Most of the porcelain in this basin is a drinking cup, but it seems that most of the porcelain and shape are ancient European porcelain.

However, these porcelain, either the painted wear and tear, or the cup mouth has a chip, or there are cracks, although most of them can be regarded as ancient porcelain, but because the origin is unknown, the price will not be very high.

Jin Muchen glanced at the price posted on the top of the cup a few times, the expensive one was only fifty yuan, and the cheap one was even three or five yuan, which made his heart beat violently.

Seeing that the boss hadn't been paying attention to himself, he quietly reached out and picked out a porcelain cup from the pile of cups, which was the one that dazzled him before.

But after waiting for the porcelain cup to arrive, he couldn't help but be stunned, where is this Nima porcelain cup? How can a porcelain cup be so heavy?

After taking a closer look, well, where is this a porcelain cup, this is clearly a copper cup!

The cup is made entirely of brass from the base to the handle, except for a painted porcelain coat on the outside of the cup......

I don't know what age this cup is, the brass cup, I don't know how to knock it, there are several small pits, the painted porcelain coat on the outside of the cup is full of cracks, and the white porcelain painting has been spent, but it can still be seen clearly, the painting should be a bust of a person.

The style of this cup is really weird, what age is this, and who would still use brass to make water cups?

What's more, if you are full, add a layer of white porcelain inlay to the outside of the cup, can you spend this effort, why don't you just make a porcelain cup?

People who know porcelain, if they see such a cup, they must be the first sentence that comes out of their mouths, that is, the person who makes this cup must be a wonder!

You must know that in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, porcelain was much more valuable than brass, and the European aristocracy and royal family at that time were proud to use porcelain.

This cup is obviously European style, because the Chinese will not make such a copper cup, and if it is really the real product of that era, you inlay a layer of porcelain wall on the outside of the copper cup, but do not make a complete porcelain cup, you say that the person who designed and made this cup was kicked by a donkey?

People with half a bucket of water will definitely think so, but for Jin Muchen, who has just recently deeply studied the history of the development of Western European porcelain, after seeing such a cup, he is in an irrepressible burst of ecstasy...... (To be continued......)
