Chapter 140: Touching Porcelain
Fang Qi won this set of purple clay pots at the end of the Qing Dynasty for 100,000 yuan, and the old man did not make a counteroffer, because Fang Qi's 100,000 yuan was very fair. What's more, Fang Qi could see that he appreciated this problem very much at a young age, so the old man directly gave a luxury gift box for free and wrapped it up.
"Little brother has good eyesight, I have another good thing here, do you want to take a look at it, little brother?" Hearing the old man's words, Fang Qi nodded with a smile, and responded to the old man's words, there are not too many good things, of course he is willing to appreciate them.
The old man then went into the back to get something, and the guy made a cup of Longjing tea for Fang Qi, who made what tea. Fang Qi's knowledge just now was enough to drink the West Lake Longjing in their store. Smelling the fresh fragrance of tea, Fang Qi slowly tasted it, and after practicing Tai Chi for half a year, he also gradually liked the sweetness and bitterness of this tea.
"Here, little brother, are you palming?" Looking at the box on the counter, Fang Qi directly opened it and took out the contents inside, which was a jade plaque. It is still the top jade carving of mutton fat white jade, Fang Qi looked at this piece of Zigang jade plate, and suddenly showed a smile, this Zigang jade card looks like the craftsmanship has almost reached perfection, whether it is Shen Yun or carving, it is first-class, and there is no flaw in the word Zigang on it.
It is five centimeters long, three centimeters wide, on the front is a picture of an old man fishing under a tree, and on the reverse is a poem, plus the white jade, it is indeed extremely gorgeous.
"How much does the boss cost?" Hearing that Fang Qi was going to buy it, the old man hesitated for a while, quite reluctant, but then counted three fingers. Fang Qi couldn't help frowning when he saw it, he never believed that his boss would give him a price of three million. This is both a high imitation and five million.
"At most, one million, this is a modern imitation, the carving and the material are all top-notch, so I paid a high price, otherwise 500,000 is impossible?" Hearing Fang Qi's words, the old man was furious, as Fang Qi said, the carving and the materials are all top-notch, even if they are high imitations, the price is more than five million. Fang Qi gave out a million. Absolutely insincere.
"Sir. Even if this is not Lu Zigang's work, it is also a high imitation of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, you look at the pulp, and the carving on it. How could it be a modern imitation. Million. Less than 10,000 will not work. Hearing the old man's resolute words, Fang Qi smiled and put the thing in directly. Then he took his things and walked away.
"Wait a minute, little brother, you said that this is a high imitation, as long as you can prove it, I will sell it to you at the original price that I received, don't worry, I am not Kuang you, I collected this thing fifteen years ago, and it cost 100,000, if you say it, I will sell it to you." Hearing the old man's words, Fang Qi looked at the old man and immediately frowned, one hundred thousand, even the money of jade is not worth it, even the high-grade Hetian jade is at least more than one hundred thousand.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll talk about it, and don't want a hundred thousand, a million." Hearing Fang Qi's words, the old man's heart suddenly tightened, and now he was even more sure that Fang Qi was not testing him just now.
The old man also saw that this thing was in line with the characteristics of Zigang jade in terms of carving and jade quality, and even the pulp was flawless. This paste is like a person's skin, representing time and age. Imitation toning is easy to identify. This bag of pulp is made perfectly, and it is also one of the places where the old gentleman was misled.
The old gentleman has no sixty-fold magnifying glass. Under the magnifying glass of sixty times, the real Zigang jade, his facets are a little similar to the horizontal line of Liangzhu culture jade, but they are not very clear and need to be carefully identified. And you shouldn't have this one. The old gentleman also said that this is at least an imitation of the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the middle of the Qing Dynasty is a climactic period of imitation of Zigang jade, and it is also a peak of jade in China.
At that time, the whiter the jade, the better, and this piece of jade also conformed to its characteristics. But it obviously does not conform to the characteristics of the carving at that time, the Zigang brand at that time was generally four or six cards, generally its width is about four centimeters, and its length is about six centimeters. During the Qianlong period, the Zigang brand often used lace. Moreover, the eyelids of the characters at that time were made with oblique knives, so the eyes were particularly energetic and the three-dimensional sense was relatively strong. The cheekbones are generally protruding, so with a smile. The nose is generally garlic. ”
"Zigangyu in the Republic of China was also a big hit, but the predecessors should know that there was really no Zigangyu master at the end of the Republic of China who could imitate it to such a point. The main thing is here, the old gentleman took a magnifying glass to look at this place and it was clear, I just touched something, it should be words. Hearing Fang Qi's words, the old man hurriedly looked at it with a magnifying glass.
"This is also where his conceit lies, who can notice the inconspicuous top edge, and when he is groomed, the red rope will cover him up. This should be Lin Lao's early work. I can't think of anyone who can do it to such an extent except for him. Fang Qi saw in the image that Lin Lao was forty or fifty years younger.
It's about 20 years younger than now, and it hasn't changed much. Of course, Fang Qi was wrong in one sentence, there are many modern jade carving masters who can do this step, but he only knows Lu Dao Lin Lao.
The 100,000 yuan of money in more than ten years is more than the purchasing power of millions now. Fang Qi took out a million check and put it on the table, and left with the jade.
Lin Lao's imitation of Zigang Yu is not impossible at the current auction. But Fang Qi didn't come up with it, not because he looked down on Lin Lao. Instead, he has three mutton fat white jade seeds, and he can ask Lin Lao to make one, and there is no need to spend a huge amount of money to buy them. Of course, this million, it is barely enough to buy ordinary mutton fat white jade brand, not to mention Lin Lao's imitation Gangyu.
And Lin Lao is also a jade carving master now, and it is completely unnecessary to imitate other people's works, just like his Nine Dragons Jade Pot and Nine Dragons Jade Cup, which are completely fabricated by Lin Lao according to legends, and there is also Lin Lao's generous payment on it. So this piece is worth more.
Fang Qi left with the jade card, and the old man looked at the direction Fang Qi left, his eyes full of reluctance. Zigang Yu, he has been regarded as a genuine product all these years, but many old friends have not seen the flaws, but today he was directly pointed out by Fang Qi. Loss is not the greatest reluctance, but the reluctance to sustenance.
"Let's make it." Fang Qi saw a guy holding a cardboard box in front of him, this guy was walking too quickly. Suddenly, a stumble crashed into someone else. Then he fell to the ground, and Fang Qi saw that this guy didn't protect the box, but let the box hit the ground first, with a popping sound, in addition to the cardboard box falling to the ground, there was also the sound of porcelain breaking, but the sound was dull, completely covered by the sound of the cardboard box. Except for Fang Qi, no one else cared.
"My enamel!" A cry that hurts my heart. Fang Qi couldn't help but look at the person who was hit. It was a middle-aged man in a suit in his thirties, looking at the people on the ground, and couldn't help but show a polite smile on his face and said:
"This brother, you bumped into me first. Everybody sees that. "Look at the man on the ground. The suit is middle-aged and unhurried. Attach importance to the chest on the ground. Frowning and said:
"I didn't hear the sound of broken porcelain just now, your enamel should be fine, if there is. Then the sound just now should be very crisp. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, everyone looked at the people on the ground with a burst of urging. Of course, most of them are lively. And many people have two words in their hearts: "touch porcelain." ”
Slowly opening the box, what everyone saw was a pair of porcelain slag, looking at the red coming out of it, Fang Qi couldn't help revealing a trace of different color, it was really an enamel color of the Qing Dynasty.
Fang Qi and several old men couldn't help but step forward to identify a piece of porcelain. Of course, the man didn't stop it, because it needed the audience, and only if the people outside believed that he could succeed in blackmailing. And here, connoisseurs are everywhere, even Fang Qi did not underestimate him.
A few minutes later, the answers of several people were surprisingly unanimous, real enamel color. This time, even the middle-aged man was also gloomy. Genuine enamel color, the appearance of this porcelain piece, is obviously still a large vessel.
"My enamel, it's really broken, my enamel" cried like a dead father, many people frowned, the reaction of the person on the ground, more verified everyone's speculation, if you can really buy porcelain, it will definitely not be such a reaction, of course, some of the porcelain sold may be like this.
"This piece of enamel will pay a maximum of 100 yuan." Hearing Fang Qi's words, several veterans who were appraising were stunned. Even the man on the ground was stunned, a piece of enamel paint, the loss was not one or two hundred, but at least millions in his heart.
"How can this brother speak, this is my family's ancestral enamel, how can it be worth only a hundred, the village chief of our village said, this thing is at least five million, less than five million, I will go to report to the official." Hearing the man's words, Fang Qi smiled, took out a piece of porcelain, handed it to the old hand with a magnifying glass next to him, and said:
"This gentleman, take a look at the middle, and see if there is anything you find." Hearing Fang Qi's words, several people also gathered around curiously, could it be that this time it was also a high imitation. But then it was denied, this is the result of their joint identification, how can it all be wrong. And Fang Qi is too young.
"It's patched porcelain." Hearing the man's words, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, looking at a faint crack on it. Because if you fall, you won't be able to reach such a point at all, and the verification is very simple. So many people found more than a dozen pieces of porcelain with cracks one after another, which happened to form a line and wrapped the entire porcelain circle.
Fang Qi took out another piece of the foot with the money, and then pointed out the crack in it:
"It's not the original foot either. Instead, it is inlaid with other feet, and you can see the cracks around it, and it is impossible for the enamel feet to appear like this, which should be refired from the furnace and not cleaned. And this crack, this thing had been broken and even repaired before that.
I didn't see it with an ordinary magnifying glass just now, this kind of repair technique is not simple, as long as you find someone to ask a few masters who are skilled at repairing, there should be a harvest, and this bottom foot, not to mention the original goods, this boss, a hundred yuan, what it means. ”
Hearing Fang Qi's words, several veterans looked at Fang Qi with admiration, and the middle-aged man directly took out a hundred yuan and put it in front of the man on the ground, which can be regarded as charity! spent such a large amount of money, a hundred yuan for a scene is enough.
Looking at Fang Qi's departing back, slowly raising his head, a pair of eyes revealed endless resentment, as well as murderous intent. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, Fang Qi didn't expect it so deep before he made a move, and now he has been remembered.
Walking out of the treasure building, Fang Qi did not continue to stroll. The things to buy were bought, and now it was not too late, Fang Qi still had to visit Qi Lao, so he left here early. But then, Fang Qi couldn't help frowning, someone was following him.
Fang Qi had been in the market for a long time, and he still knew a lot about these methods, and looked at the taxi that kept following them. Fang Qi thought for a moment and asked the driver to stop near Qi's hometown.
Entering a dead end, Fang Qi looked back at the two people who came in behind him, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face:
"Is there anything wrong with you two following me for so long?" When the two heard Fang Qi's words, they couldn't help but glance at each other and ran. Fang Qi is so fearless, and Fang Qi's tall figure is also an indicator, both of them are the kind of guys who don't catch up, just scare ordinary people. But the smile on Fang Qi's face made them think of the eldest brother on the underworld, and they had this feeling, so the two of them didn't hesitate and ran away.
"Uh." Fang Qi didn't expect the two of them to turn around and run away, without any professionalism of the gangsters in the movie, and they didn't even leave a cruel word. (To be continued......)
