Ask for a collection, ask for a recommendation ticket, can you give it? ----------------------------------------------------What does it mean to cherish each other, and what does it mean to see the wise and think together?

Wang Tian didn't think that one day he would be able to carve on other materials besides "wood". For example, jade, such as ivory, strange stones, what bloodstone, Tianhuang stone.

And Wang Tian looked at it, the snuff box under his eyes is not bamboo, not wood, nor root carving, according to his own understanding of the snuff bottle carving techniques, the rest is only ivory carving.

Isn't it strange that this is an ivory snuff box?

Brush away a layer of faint dust and stroke it tentatively.

This pot has a moist texture and a warm and delicate feel. What's more, compared to the feelings that other porcelain brings to him, this thing can make him feel a deep and ancient energy, and this qi responds to his hand, which immediately makes Wang Tian feel refreshed.

It's antique...

No, Wang Tian is not sure, because what he just touched is a porcelain bottle, and the induction of the porcelain bottle and the ivory belt must be different.

This ancient and heavy atmosphere can only show that ivory feels heavier and has a better airway than porcelain, but it is not enough to show that this ivory carved snuff box is an antique.

However, even if this thing was not an antique, Wang Tian had the intention of accepting it.

For what?

The art of this ivory carving is the use of carving skills, and those who play carving know that carving is a clever form of sculpture. It is a technique of hollowing out the background part on the basis of relief, and then carving various patterns and patterns on the material.

It is more difficult than flat carving and relief carving. A small carver like Wang Tian dreams of one day being able to practice superb carving skills.

And now, the original author of this carved ivory snuff box must be a master craftsman at the pinnacle, and to be able to complete this snuff box so well, this craftsmanship must also be worthy of his own respect. And not on this stall, desolate and uncared.

There is a sour feeling in my heart, no one knows how to appreciate great works of art, so who can blame?

Seeing Wang Tian faintly sad, Fang Chenggong waved his hand in front of his little face. "Hey, what do you think? Do you want to buy it or not? Have you taken a fancy to this dirty snuffbox? ”

Fang Chenggong was disdainful of this snuff bottle, which made Wang Tian feel lonely and widowed.

"Buy, how can you not buy such a good snuff bottle? Lao Sun, I have a fancy for this snuffbox, can you make a price? ”

Wang Tian had no intention of bargaining, and looked like he was being slaughtered by others.

But they are all acquaintances, and it is precisely because of Wang Tian that Sun Fugui is embarrassed to open his mouth.

Speaking of this snuff bottle.

He bought it together in a village in the countryside two years ago, when he "kicked" several snuff bottles. Those snuff bottles have been sold to this day, and only this one sticks to the bottom of the pot. Speaking of which, unlike several other snuff bottles, this snuff box is beautiful from the outside, this one has an old and yellowish appearance, and the carved patterns are covered with dirt. At the time of acquisition, the price of this item was the lowest. The amber luster of the surface is not seen closely and is definitely not noticeable. Moreover, the volume is not large, and it is the one he despises the most among his batch of snuff bottles.

I can't remember how much I collected, anyway, it didn't exceed a hundred yuan, so Sun Fugui couldn't ask for too much.

"Oh my God, are you really sure you want to buy this? I have so many snuff bottles, why do you fall in love with this? ”

"Lao Sun, you also know that I am playing carving, I am very excited when I see this carved snuff bottle, no one appreciates such a good art, I will take this, you make a bid."

"Okay."

Since Wang Tian identified this snuffbox, Sun Fugui didn't care.

There are still few businesses today, and Wang Tian likes it so much, then..."You give me five hundred yuan." ”

"What, five hundred?"

Wang Tian didn't say anything, Fang Chenggong's eyes were about to pop out.

He pointed his fingers, and said in his heart, even if your peers have been cheating on your peers these years, you can't be so ruthless.

Sun Fugui was a little embarrassed, but he had already spoken, and it was difficult to collect it.

Wang Tian didn't say anything, pulled Fang Chenggong behind him, and took out the only five hundred yuan he had from his pocket, "Old Sun, this is five hundred, just this craft, it's worth this money!" ”

Wang Tian handed over the money to Sun Fugui and left with a snuffbox with tears in his eyes.

Fang Chenggong followed behind, and he knew that Wang Tian bought this snuff bottle, which was actually the craftsmanship he bought, and in the final analysis, he bought the craftsmanship of his own industry.

"Ahem, Son of God, don't be sentimental, this world is like this, traditional culture and art are not as good as those fast food culture. The artwork you worked so hard to carve and put there, no one cared about. It is carved by other people's machines, which is cheap and beautiful. It's like when we write a novel, you work hard to consult a lot of information, archaeology and the present, but people are a little white, and the level and grades of primary school students lose you half a street, where do you go to reason? You say, don't you? ”

Wang Tian was very sentimental when he thought about it, but Fang Chenggong, a good brother, comforted him, and suddenly his mood was bright.

"Yes," pondering Fang's successful analogy again, "don't say it, your analogy is true..."

"That's right?"

"It's not like that." Wang Tian's answer made Fang Chenggong, whose face was full of pride, suddenly have the rhythm of falling into the sewer.

I'll go!

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's find an antique shop to sell this snuff bottle."

"What?"

Fang Chenggong thought he had misheard.

"What, can't understand Mandarin or what? I said now let's find an antique shop and sell this ivory carving, a snuff bottle with superb openwork skills, at a high price. ”

"No, no, didn't you buy this snuffbox because it was carved? If you don't like to hear it, if you buy this snuffbox for 500 yuan, no one will necessarily want it. ”

"I really don't like to hear it, the old man wants you to see how I sold this snuffbox today, and the money is much more than you say!"

……

Wang Tian didn't go directly to the antique shop to sell the ivory carving, he first went to the small shop next to him to "process" the small snuff bottle with the ivory carving.

Don't get me wrong, Wang Tian didn't make it old or anything, but removed a layer of dirt that had accumulated on its surface for a long time.

After the dirt was removed, the true face of the snuff bottle emerged.

The body of this pot is shaped by water, the ripples are used as the ground, the boat is leaning in the center, and the boatman is struggling to rock the oar at the stern, and the overall effect looks very vivid and powerful. The bow figure is more tranquil, the upright figure forms a strong contrast with the position and dynamics of the boatman, the unique personality of the character is portrayed vividly, the whole layout is graceful, the carving is fine, the lines are natural and smooth, even if Fang Chenggong does not know anything about appreciation, but also feels that the temperament of this snuff bottle is different.
