Chapter 535: The Infestion of National Treasures (8)

"Brother Qing, what is this?"

When they saw clearly the antique He Qing was referring to, Lin Haitao and Tian Tian couldn't help but look at each other, in addition to being relatively large, that thing seemed to be more ordinary, it looked stained, gray, and it didn't look like a treasure at all. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)

"That's a good thing!" He Qing picked up the thing very proudly, looked left and right, and obviously liked it very much.

"What is it?" Tian Tian also asked curiously, looking at it, he couldn't see anything famous for a long time.

He Qing said with a smile: "You take a closer look, just look at the shape, what does this thing look like?" ”

"It's like a wine glass." Lin Haitao replied casually.

He Qing glanced up at him, nodded and said, "That's right, like a wine glass." Actually, it's not like it, but it's really a wine glass, which was used to make wine glasses in ancient times. ”

Tian Tian asked: "You mean to say that this wine glass, like jade and other things, is very old and has a history of thousands of years?" ”

"Yes, this thing is the same as those ancient jades, and it has also been handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period." He Qing replied, "Judging the collectible value of an heirloom wine glass, mainly based on its shape and texture, you should be able to see that the shape of this wine glass is very peculiar, and the more you look at it, the more you feel that it looks exquisite." ”

Lin Haitao nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can also see this." But, Brother Qing, the texture of this wine glass shouldn't be good, right? Is it carved out of ordinary stone? ”

He Qing didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Haitao." Let me ask you a question, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what wine glasses were the most collectible? ”

Lin Haitao said: "It's hard to say, I only know that the collection of bronze wine glasses is very valuable. ”

Tian Tian accosted: "Bronzes are generally unearthed cultural relics, where is it allowed to be collected? ”

He Qing smiled and said, "Even if the bronze cast wine glass can be collected like ordinary antiques, it is much inferior to this wine glass." ”

"This thing is more valuable than the bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" Lin Haitao was surprised.

He Qing nodded solemnly and said, "Well, yes, at least the materials it uses are much more precious, after all, there were many bronzes at that time, and bronze refining was not so difficult." And the materials used in this wine glass are very rare. Even now, it is rare, and now the trade of this material is banned. ”

"Isn't it?" Lin Haitao was surprised, thinking that the appearance of that thing was mediocre, what kind of good material could it be made.

"Now it's simply openly bought and sold? What is that? Tian Tian was also puzzled.

He Qing said: "You can't see it, right? Now you are only seeing the most superficial phenomena. Due to its age. The vessel has long been covered with a layer of dust. The old ones are gone, and their true colors have been concealed, after being cleaned. I'm sure you'll be able to see it, hehe, and you won't think so then. ”

"Brother Qing, can you give me a good look?" Lin Haitao pleaded.

"Of course, you see." He Qing nodded his head without hesitation, and then placed the mysterious old wine vessel on the table next to him, so that Lin Haitao and Tian Tian could understand.

After the things were put down, Lin Haitao and the two opened their eyes wide and looked at the wine glass in detail.

"He Qing, this thing seems to be made of ivory."

After looking at it for a long time, Tian Tian finally saw a little bit of the doorway, and hurriedly said.

"Yes, it's made of ivory." He Qing nodded and said, "Miss Tian, your eyesight is really good, and you still recognized it after all." ”

Hearing He Qing praise himself, Tian Tian suddenly felt proud, hurriedly shook his head, and said modestly: "You have won the award, in fact, I am not very sure, it is just a guess." ”

"Brother Qing, it turns out that this is ivory, no wonder you say that." Only then did Lin Haitao know the true face of the wine glass, and he dared to love that it was a very old ivory wine glass, if it was estimated by He Qing, it was thousands of years old, a treasure with a very long age.

There are not many ivory utensils handed down from generation to generation, such as the ivory carvings of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is a treasure the size of a wine glass, which is even rarer, so it is conceivable how much collection value it has.

Tian Tian exclaimed: "It's so unusual! I've never seen an ivory carving that old, and it's rare to see a wine vessel made of ivory, but today it's an eye-opener to see such a heavy vessel! ”

Lin Haitao also said: "Yes, such old ivory carvings are indeed rare, but how is the market of old ivory carvings now?" Seems like the value of ivory products is like that, right? I've bought a few pieces, all of which cost thousands of dollars, and one of them is relatively old and not small. ”

He Qing said disappreciatively: "Antiques are difficult to say, and they can't be generalized. Something of the same material, even if it is done as well, has different values in different historical and cultural environments, and sometimes the collection is just a culture, a symbol, or a heritage. You said that the value of the old ivory carvings you bought was not very good, but in the auction records of the auction house, if you compare them, there must be many old ivory carvings of high value. ”

"Yes." Tian Tian nodded solemnly and said, "I knew that there was an ancient ivory carving that had been auctioned at a sky-high price in the capital, and the final transaction price of that thing was 18 million, nearly 20 million!" ”

"What kind of old ivory carving is that?" He Qing asked casually.

Tian Tian said: "It is a Guanyin statue, which is said to be from the Ming Dynasty. Compared with your ivory carving, although it may not be inferior in weight, it cannot be compared in terms of the age it was produced, and there is a difference of thousands of years! Moreover, this ivory carved wine cup is first-class, I saw it just now, and there seems to be an inscription carved on it, so it should also have great historical research significance and immeasurable value. ”

He Qing said with a smile: "Ivory has always been known as 'white gold', and I don't lose anything to get such a large piece of white gold." ”

"Of course." Lin Haitao nodded vigorously and said, "You only bought it for 500,000 yuan, and you undoubtedly picked up a big leak." ”

He Qing said: "Maybe, don't care if it's worth it or not, put it away first." ”

He is currently working on a large collection museum, such as the ivory carvings of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he is lacking, he didn't think that he received such a good treasure by accident, it can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

After talking with Lin Haitao for a while, He Qing put away the batch of antique students.

Nothing happened next.

In the afternoon, he suddenly received a phone call, and he didn't think that it was Xiaoyi who sold him the batch of old antiques.

As soon as the phone was connected, Xiaoyi said anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Mr. He, I still have a batch of good things in my hand, I don't know if you are interested." (To be continued......)
