Chapter 202: Sui Dynasty Wine Bottle
After leaving this antique shop and walking forward for a while, Fang Yong said to Zhang Yuting with a smile: "Baby, we have picked up the treasure again this time." ”
"Yongzi, you said it was the porcelain plate you just bought?" Zhang Yuting said.
"Yes, this is a Doucai porcelain plate from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty." Fang Yong said happily,
"I've only heard of Chenghua Doucai, or is it the first time I've heard of Xuande Doucai porcelain?" Zhang Yuting said.
"There is no Xuande Doucai, how to become a Doucai, this Xuande Doucai can be said to be the originator of Doucai. It is conceivable how valuable this Xuande Doucai porcelain plate is. Fang Yong explained to Zhang Yuting.
Fang Yong said: "There is a copy of "Sakya Monastery" in Master's collection, and I have seen it from above, and there are two Xuande blue and white colorful bowls in the Sakya Monastery in Tibet. That pair can be said to be the only heirloom found in the world so far, and it is also the earliest and most well-preserved Xuande blue and white colorful ware found at present, and there are only two pieces in China, which are extremely precious. I guess the Doucai porcelain plate we bought today may have been fired from a kiln in the Sakya Monastery. ”
"Isn't that a national treasure?" Zhang Yuting asked in surprise.
"It's a national treasure." After Fang Yong finished speaking affirmatively, he said, "When you wait for the capital, show it to the master, and make the master happy." ”
"Yongzi, such a valuable porcelain must be put away!" Zhang Yuting gave Fang Yong a hint.
"I know the baby, no one can take it away from me!" Fang Yong patted his backpack and said. In fact, when he put the Xuande Doucai porcelain plate into the backpack just now, Fang Yong put it into the storage space in the Sea of Consciousness, and it was the safest place to put it here.
Fang Yong held up a parasol for Zhang Yuting, at this time, it was already in the middle of the day, and it was also the hottest time, the hot sun was hanging high in the sky, and the number of people coming and going on Moro Street was gradually decreasing.
These three antique streets in Hong Kong are almost done. So the two of them prepared to find a place to have lunch.
At this moment, a red mist suddenly appeared in Fang Yong's consciousness detection, and it was walking in Fang Yong's direction from far and near.
After Fang Yong focused his consciousness in this direction, he saw an old lady three kilometers away, about sixty or seventy years old, looking a little anxious, holding a black handbag in her hand, sitting on a bus in the direction of Hollywood Road.
Fang Yong once again looked at the bright spot that emitted a red mist, it turned out to be a bronze artifact, according to the results of the detection. Fang Yong knew that it was a bronze wine bottle, and based on the concentration of the red mist and the density of the aura, as well as the historical images of the wine bottle, Fang Yong concluded that it was something from the Sui and Tang dynasties.
So he said to Zhang Yuting: "Baby, let's go ahead for a while and then go to dinner, and then go to Ocean Park to play, how about it?" ”
"Okay!" Zhang Yuting agreed.
After all, the speed of walking could not catch up with the car, and the old man got off the bus and turned directly to Morro Street, and then entered a shop, apparently wanting to sell the bronze ware.
Fang Yong was a little anxious at this time. In case this store is acquired, Fang Yong will definitely have to pay more money when he buys it again, so he wants to speed up.
It can be regarded as Fang Yong's luck, this old man went to three houses in a row. The owner of the store did not buy it, and it is estimated that the price was not negotiated.
When the old man walked out of the third store with a bronze wine bottle, Fang Yong was just in time.
"Old man, can you show me what you have in your hand? If you can. I want to buy it. Fang Yong walked over, looked at the old lady who looked cautious but a little anxious, and said.
Since he already knew that the wine bottle in the old lady's hand was an old thing, Fang Yong was not afraid of what she would do to "drop the bag" and "bury mines".
After the old lady heard Fang Yong's words. Looking around, he took something out of his handbag with a little nervousness.
As soon as the wine bottle was taken out, Fang Yong was fascinated by the unique color of this bronze. Fang Yong suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked the old lady quietly, "You are handed down from your ancestors?" ”
"This is a family heirloom from my lover, and now my lover is hospitalized and needs money urgently, so I want to sell this thing for some money." The old lady said with a pitiful look.
Fang Yong didn't care if what the old man said was true or not, anyway, this thing was true.
Bronze, as the oldest type of antique collection, has always been loved by the majority of collectors.
However, due to the laws of the country, bronzes unearthed before 1949 and with a clear description are allowed to circulate in the market openly, that is, they can be auctioned. However, in fact, the situation is somewhat different, because the era of bronze production is so old, most of them were unearthed later, and they cannot be auctioned, which has led to the prevalence of private trading of bronzes.
As a result, although the number of bronzes in existence is large, the transaction volume is not large, and the price is not very high.
Fang Yong looked at the bronze wine bottle, and saw that the wine bottle was cast with a beast, and it looked like a fierce tiger if it looked closely.
In ancient times, the tiger represented courage and strength, but it could not be compared with the various mythical beasts that were handed down in ancient times. Therefore, Fang Yong concluded that the user of this wine bottle should have belonged to the type of people who held military power in ancient times, and not the family of imperial merchants.
Flipping over and checking, Fang Yong found that in addition to some simple ornaments, there was only a small "Zhang" character on the wine bottle. Fang Yong had some doubts in his heart, this wine bottle was too simple, and it didn't leave very valuable clues. However, from the cast "Zhang" character, it can be inferred that it should be from the Zhang family of the Sui Dynasty.
"How much do you want to sell?" Fang Yong asked.
"Eighty thousand!" The old lady gestured with her right hand and said.
"Eighty thousand! It's too expensive. I guess this is also the reason why you ran these two stores and people didn't buy them! Fang Yong said with a smile.
When Fang Yong said this, the old lady was slightly stunned and said: "Then, how much do you say it can be worth, although my lover needs money now, but if the price is too low, I won't sell it." ”
"The owners of these two shops seem to have already quoted you a price. I don't care what price they buy, I'll give you 50,000 Huaxia coins, you can give it to me if you see the right thing, if it's too much, then forget it! Fang Yong said.
The old lady looked down and thought that just now the first store gave 40,000 yuan, the second gave 42,000 yuan, and the third only gave 36,000 yuan. It seems that the price is around thirty or forty thousand. The young man in front of him gave 50,000 yuan, which is still the highest, or he will sell it to him, and now the old man in the family is using the money.
Fang Yong looked at the old lady and bowed her head and was silent, it was estimated that the heavens and humans were fighting there. So he didn't say anything, waiting for the old lady's response.
At this time, Fang Yong saw a trace of firmness in the old lady's eyes, and it seemed that he had made a decision.
The old lady looked up at Fang Yong and said, "Okay, then I'll sell it to you." However, you have to follow me to the hospital to pay, and directly to the hospital's payment card. ”
Hearing the old lady say this, Fang Yong knew that this old man was not making up stories to win people's sympathy in exchange for a high price.
So he agreed to the old lady's request and went to the hospital with her to pay. (To be continued......)
