Chapter 1010 Bamboo Root Carving Works
After everyone appreciated them one by one, Fu Lilei couldn't wait to ask: "Everyone, is this baby play pattern bowl old on the real thing?" ”
Chu Chen and the others nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case, which made Fu Lilei breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it was genuine, it would be worth a little money.
At this time, Yuan Hongjian said with some anger: "I don't know if people who are old understand the value of antiques, like such a beautiful moon white glazed baby play pattern bowl, even if it is not old, it is not cheap, now like this, the added value is not so high not to mention, but also caused damage to things, it is really hateful!" ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, although the means of olding are very superb, but the cow hair pattern and pulp on the surface of the antique are made by two physical and chemical means, which will definitely have an impact on the item, then it will undoubtedly affect the value of the item.
Chen Dewang said very regretfully: "Speaking of which, such a large bowl with white glazed baby patterns in the Jin Dynasty is indeed relatively rare, although it is stenciled, but the decoration is extremely clear, so old, at least one-third of the price will be affected." ”
The white glazed porcelain of Yaozhou kiln in the Jin Dynasty actually sprouted in the late Northern Song Dynasty and matured in the Jin Dynasty.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the moon-white glaze glaze was white in the blue, and in the Jin Dynasty, the cyan color of this color glaze was greatly weakened, and the whiteness was significantly enhanced. Its superior products tend to be bluish-white, with a faint hint of cyan in the white. And what this bowl shows is the glaze color characteristics of the best products of the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, everyone feels that it is a pity.
Fu Lilei heard that this would affect one-third of the value. Somewhat incredulous: "Can it affect so much?" ”
Zhao Xueyi said: "That's for sure, Boss Fu. It's not like you don't know if our business is worth anything. There is one factor that is very important, that is, things must be natural and cannot be artificially handled, otherwise, the value of things will definitely be greatly reduced. ”
Fu Lilei asked again: "Then if it is not old, what is the market value of this thing?" ”
"Thirty thousand."
The loss of 10,000 yuan for nothing, and at least so much loss, made Fu Lilei, who is now short of money, feel extremely painful.
Halfway through. Fu Lilei asked cautiously: "Old Chen, do you still want this thing?" ”
Chen Dewang smiled: "Since the thing is real, then I can take it down." ”
"The price?"
"Count twenty-five thousand."
"Huh?"
Fu Lilei was quite surprised when he heard this price. Actually, not to mention Fu Lilei, everyone else was surprised by the price given by Chen Dewang, could it be that he saw that Fu Lilei was in trouble and was ready to help him?
Chen Dewang said with a smile: "Xiaofu, don't be surprised. I offer this price with conditions. ”
Fu Lilei came back to his senses and immediately understood what Chen Dewang wanted, he hesitated for a while before he smiled bitterly: "Okay." I'll transfer that thing to you. ”
Chen Dewang was quite happy to see him agree, and said, "Little Fu, don't blame me for taking advantage of others." I've been coveting that thing for a long time, if you don't want to. I'm willing to pay 20,000 yuan for this thing. ”
Fu Lilei shook his head: "Old Chen, I am in debt now." That thing will have to be transferred sooner or later, and it is better to transfer it to you now, and I guess you will not treat me badly. ”
Seeing the cunning look in Fu Lilei's eyes, Chen Dewang said with a smile: "Okay, the price will definitely satisfy you by then, you can rest assured." ”
"Thank you so much, I'll go get ...... now"
After speaking, Fu Lilei walked into the back room with a smile on his face.
When Fu Lilei left, his wife served tea to everyone, and then, Zhao Xueyi joked: "I said Lao Chen, why do you still bring back things when you buy things now?" ”
Chen Dewang smiled: "This is because I felt that something seemed to be wrong with this thing before, so I didn't pay for it, what does it have to do with returning it, do you still think that I can't go back the more I live?" ”
"It's impossible for others, but ...... you" Zhao Xueyi smiled meaningfully.
Chen Dewang shook his head and said with a smile: "Isn't it just that I gave you a thing back the year before last, and your kid is still haunted by it!" Besides, don't blame me for that, you told me in advance that the thing is true, since it's not right, then I don't have anything to say about returning it, right? ”
Zhao Xueyi said: "That's what I said, but you guy's things are really not authentic, and it took almost half a year to return the things, so it took me a long time to explain to the seller, and finally paid a tuition fee to return the goods, you old guy is good, he didn't help at all at the time, and now he still says cool things, it's really not enough friends!" ”
Chen Dewang was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Didn't there happen to be something at that time." ”
"Humph!" Zhao Xueyi snorted: "Who knows if you have anything to do, no, you have to give me some compensation, the things will be brought in a while, we have to compete fairly!" ”
Chen Dewang suddenly said: "Wow, I was still thinking about what the hell you were up to just now!" I sue you, there is no way to do this! ”
Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "Don't mind, those who see good things have a share!" ”
Chen Dewang refused: "This matter is not negotiable, I have really coveted this thing for a long time, but Xiaofu has not sold it, and I can't help it." I finally have a chance this time, don't make trouble for me! It's a big deal that I'll give you a piece of jade pendant from the Qianlong period that I collected, this is all right? ”
"Okay, you can't go back on this!" Zhao Xueyi saw that he was good and agreed, and then he asked curiously: "Lao Chen, what kind of good thing does it make you so worried?" ”
"Wait for Xiaofu to come over, you will know after you see it."
As soon as Chen Dewang's words fell, Fu Lilei carefully walked back with three boxes.
Carefully putting the boxes on the table, Fu Lilei opened one of the boxes and said, "Old Chen, this is the plum green glaze folding plate of the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty." ”
Chen Dewang couldn't wait to take the things in his hands to appreciate when he heard the words, only to see this plate, the type is simple, Shi Meizi green glaze, the glaze is smooth and round, the glaze is moist, the carcass is strong, and the center of the plate is simply painted with red glaze Double Fish pattern, the decoration is exquisite, and it is rare.
Plum green is a variety created by Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty. The glaze color is thick and green, such as the color of green plums, so it is named. Plum green glaze and pink green glaze are both known as "the pinnacle of celadon glaze color and texture beauty". The glaze is thick and transparent, the enamel is shiny and verdant, and the hue is comparable to that of jadeite. There are very few varieties of plum green in existence, and most of them are quaint products in the shape of antique bronze and jade, which are very precious.
In addition to Fu Lilei, all of them are quite fond of porcelain, seeing such a famous Longquan kiln product, their eyes are attracted to the past, especially Yuan Hongjian, who has not been in contact with antiques for a long time, and seeing such a precious type of porcelain, his eyes are almost protruding.
Everyone wants to get started with appreciation, but Chen Dewang actually took out a magnifying glass to observe a little bit, which made them a little anxious, seeing this situation, Fu Lilei felt a little proud, and hurriedly said: "I also brought two bamboo root carvings, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
As he spoke, he opened the other two boxes, which contained a bamboo root carved cow and a bamboo root carved crab, both of which were carved lifelike, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Chen and others, of course, they were also interested, and after saying hello, they picked up the things and looked at them.
Bamboo root carving is a branch of the bamboo carving family, it is a handmade artwork carved and processed from the bamboo root that grows under the mud, with a unique and natural production process, simple and elegant aesthetic characteristics, more favored by literati doctors, often as a high-end gift, for people to enjoy.
According to the analysis of historical data, the art of bamboo root carving first appeared in the Southern Qi Dynasty. In the Biography of Ming Monk Shao, there was a record of Qi Gaozu giving bamboo Ruyi to Ming Monk Shao. However, the real flourishing period of bamboo root carving was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and reached its peak in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
The two bamboo root carvings that Fu Lilei took out are both works in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the carving skills that come out of the works are very exquisite.
Among them, the crab is a sketch, the crab seems to be directly incarnated from the bamboo root, only to see its double claws want to move, the crab eyes are round, shining and flashing, the eight-clawed toes, one by one exposed, the carving is extremely vivid and realistic, and the image of a female hairy crab is alive.
In the Qing Dynasty, the bamboo root round carving sketch vessel was seen from time to time, and the bamboo root carving works with the theme of crab were also occasionally handed down, but most of them showed the static posture of the crab, or lined the crab body with rice grass and other things, and rarely had such crab-like claws stretched and claws danced.
Moreover, this crab craft is extremely complex, its eyes are inlaid with hardwood, it is particularly high and convex and has a god, eight-legged rampant, and the natural bamboo roots are bound to be difficult to take its shape, so they are spliced into shape, which shows the author's ingenuity and strange skills, which can be handed down to this day, extremely precious.
Seeing Chu Chen holding the crab with a look of admiration on his face, Fu Lilei said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, this crab is actually a cover box. ”
"Cover the box?" Chu Chen was slightly surprised when he heard this, and after a little look, he understood what was going on, it turned out that the crab body of this crab was tightly fastened with the mouth of the mother and child, and the crab shell could be opened to see the inside of the digging box, and there was no seam after the lid was closed, which showed the essence of the process.
Chu Chen said with a smile: "Boss Fu, this bamboo root carved crab is really good, but it's a pity that it's a little smaller." ”
Just like Chu Chen said, the length of this crab is only about twelve centimeters, although the value of antiques cannot be judged by size, but things that are too small will undoubtedly affect their value.
Fu Lilei said with a smile: "Small is a small point, but if it is a few centimeters bigger, maybe this thing will not fall into my hands." ”
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, don't look at it as just a few centimeters bigger, but the value is at least a third higher, maybe more than that.
Another bamboo root carved lying cow, leading the neck to stretch forward, the eyes turned up. The style is realistic and the depiction is exquisite. Although it is a portrait of an animal, it has a far-reaching artistic conception. It's a pity that this thing has damage, and its value is far from that of a crab. (To be continued......)
