Chapter 909: Wool in the Antique Shop
Some friends may find it strange, since the old man thinks his things are good, why do he have to sell them to Zhao Xueyi? The reason, of course, is because he is reluctant to return the money to Zhao Xueyi, as for saying that he took out an artifact that sells for a higher price than the value of Hua Yao, there is no need to say more.
Zhao Xueyi looked at the things carefully and found that there was nothing wrong, so he handed the things to the others.
The pen wash is in the shape of autumn leaves, the autumn leaves are stretched, and the leaf veins are engraved inside, without much carving. There are several carved buds at the petioles, which are delicate and lovely, and complement each other. The other edge is rolled up, and it looks very smart. The bottom of the vessel is supported by a rough and blunt three-legged, which is stable and imposing. In addition to the three-legged bottom, the autumn leaves are glazed inside and outside, and the blue is white, which is full of change.
This thing, everyone knows at a glance that it is an old object that opens the door to the generation, made for the Shiwan kiln of the Ming Dynasty, this vessel is cleverly conceived, exquisite workmanship, it should be a good piece of study. Moreover, the works of the same shape are collected in the Forbidden City and the Shanghai Museum, so there is no doubt that everyone has no doubt that they are genuine.
Seeing that this thing was indeed a good thing, Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Yi, just this thing!" β
The old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Xueyi had finally accepted the thing, although he knew that there would definitely be no problem with this thing, but he was still worried about what would happen.
The matter was settled, and the old man also showed a smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, you see that I just entered a batch of things, do you want to see if you have anything you like?" β
"Lao Yi, you're not going to fool me again, are you?" Zhao Xueyi smiled and looked at the Bogu shelves around him, and indeed replaced several new goods.
The old man said with a look of injustice: "How can this fool you? Besides. Didn't I also make a guarantee for the flower goblet before, and now it's all settled. Let's not talk about it! β
Thinking that it was still early to go to dinner, Zhao Xueyi looked at the others. Seeing that they said that there was no problem, he smiled and said, "Then let's see what good things you have received, Lao Yi." β
"Okay, you guys take a look here first, and I'll go get a few things out......"
When the old man walked into the back room with a smile, the group looked for what they liked.
This shop is mainly engaged in the porcelain business, but just like the two pieces of porcelain that the old man took out before, most of the porcelain is the product of the local kiln, and I don't know if the old man just likes the local kiln, or what's going on.
In addition to porcelain. The shop also sells some miscellaneous utensils, such as Yushanzi, stationery supplies and old furniture, but there are not many of them.
However, Chu Chen turned around, but he didn't find something he liked, until Wu Ke fell in love with a small sachet.
This sachet takes a small piece of ivory and carves it into a gourd style. It can be used to hold spices and be worn with you. It is carved into bats and vines by relief and openwork techniques. The carving is fine, from the point of view of the age, it should be the work of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is still a very good gadget.
Wait for the old man to take out his things and come out. Chu Chen inquired about the price of this small sachet.
The price given by the old man was slightly lower than the market price, and judging from his tone, there was no room for price reduction. Anyway, it's just a thousand dollars, and Chu Chen is lazy to talk about it. Paid directly.
Just as Chu Chen was paying, Uncle Wu and the others picked up what the old man had brought just now and looked at it. They are two pieces of porcelain and one end inkstone.
The thing is good, the two pieces of porcelain are the utensils of the three generations of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty, and the inkstone is also made by famous masters in the late Qing Dynasty.
Seeing this, Zhao Xueyi laughed and said, "Lao Yi, why are you willing to take the fine products of the Qing Dynasty official kiln?" β
The old man smiled and said, "What's so reluctant about this?" Sue sΓΉ you, I like the things of the folk kiln, the things of the official kiln are good, and the painting is also excellent, but many of them are rigid ornaments, I just don't like it! β
Zhao Xueyi smiled when he heard this: "Your idea is quite special......
The collection of porcelain from the folk kiln has never been valued by collectors. There are many books on the market about porcelain collection, which also teach people how to collect official kiln porcelain and famous kiln porcelain, and there are few collection books to guide people to collect folk kiln porcelain, and even some books openly advocate that folk kiln porcelain can not be collected.
A big reason for the above point of view is that those who write books may have studied the official kilns and famous kilns, but there is a lack of research on the folk kilns, in fact, so far, many folk kilns in China have not been studied, let alone how many results have been studied.
In fact, Chu Chen felt that the kiln was worth collecting and studying. The old man's attitude towards the kiln, Chu Chen also agreed.
Compared with the official kiln porcelain, the craftsmanship value of the official kiln is very high, it concentrates the best potters of the era, the best batching masters, the best embryo masters, the best glazing masters, the best kiln masters, and the best painting masters, and spares no expense, excellence, so that the exquisite craftsmanship of the official kiln porcelain is fired.
However, the artistic value of official kiln porcelain is not necessarily higher than that of private kiln porcelain, this is because the feudal social hierarchy is very strict, and special things are still made for the royal family.
Therefore, the best potters can burn the best porcelain, but the best painters may not be able to paint the best and most beautiful pictures in such a constrained and oppressive environment, they can only paint the gourd according to the patterns that the court likes, and in the repetitive labor of boring machinery, the artist's personality is stifled.
Without individuality, there is no art, and if the individuality is stifled by these painting masters, its artistic value will naturally be greatly reduced. On the contrary, it is the same painting master who goes to paint the porcelain of the folk kiln, he can be unrestrained, free to his heart's content, and his suppressed personality is liberated, and his works are naturally hearty and vivid.
If you are a person with a high level of artistic literacy, and have studied and appreciated the fine works of folk kiln porcelain paintings, you will definitely be amazed. The chic agility and vigorous business in the porcelain paintings of the folk kiln are incomparable to the decoration of the official kiln.
Of course, not all of the porcelain paintings are so good, and more are shoddy works. Moreover, art is not only porcelain painting, but also the shape and glaze of porcelain. Therefore, in the case that most of the folk kiln works are shoddy, it is reasonable that the collection of the folk kiln is sung down by some people.
However, Chu Chen feels that although the shoddy folk kiln works do not have much collection value, in the future when everyone's collection concept is becoming more and more mature and the level of art appreciation is constantly improving, the value and investment potential of the fine works in those folk kilns will definitely become higher and higher.
It is with this understanding that now Chu Chen encounters those exquisite folk kiln works, he will definitely get them in his pocket, but although there are many folk kiln porcelains in this store, Chu Chen feels satisfied with a few pieces, perhaps because the old man also thinks the same as Chu Chen, and wants to wait for the value of the folk kiln porcelain to rise, and then he will take out his collection of fine products for sale.
To get back to the point, there are only three things, but there are a lot of people on Chu Chen's side, and one person is definitely not enough, fortunately, Zhao Xueyi has already gained, Qi Baofu and Fang Jinbo don't have much money to buy, Uncle Wu and Chu Chen are a family, so Chu Chen and Zhu Dafu divided the things into one point, and Chu Chen asked for two pieces of porcelain.
After paying, seeing that the time was almost up, the group was about to say goodbye and go to dinner, but at this time, they saw two men coming over, one of them asked: "Boss, how did you sell that box of jade wool?" β
Chu Chen and the others were a little strange when they heard this, why are there still wool materials for sale here?
The old man replied: "Those wool materials are not only sold, if you want them, even if they are 80,000 yuan!" β
Hearing the price offered by the old man, the two men showed an incredible look on their faces, and one of the men exclaimed: "There are a total of four pieces of wool, and there are three pieces of head-covering materials that are not very good, boss, you actually want 80,000?" β
The old man said lightly: "Even if the three pieces are all gambling wool, isn't there the remaining piece, don't you see that the exposed part of the wool is all green, and the 80,000 yuan is still expensive!" β
Another man laughed and said: "Boss, do you know how to gamble stones, although it is all green, but it is a worthless iron dragon, even if the whole piece is like that, it can't be sold for 80,000!" β
The old man listened to the man's words, his face immediately turned pale, and he said coldly: "I don't know how to gamble on stones, but so what, you want to want it, if you don't want it, why do you want it!" β
"Hey! Why are you talking so impulsively, and you still do ......?"
"Alright, say less!"
The man's temper was probably not good, and when he heard this, his face changed, and he immediately stopped doing it, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by his companion. Then the man glared at the old man, and went out with his companion in a huff.
"Who are they?" The old man spat hard at the backs of the two.
Chu Chen and the others watched coldly from the side, feeling that the old man's appearance was really not a big belly, although the man's words were indeed a little harsh, but he didn't say anything too much, since the old man was a businessman, how could he not know the truth of making money with harmony, even if it was perfunctory, it was better than the current situation.
Of course, everyone didn't say much about this matter, and Zhao Xueyi then asked with some curiosity: "Lao Yi, why do you still have jade wool?" β
The old man sighed: "Hey! Count me unlucky, I ran into an unreliable relative......"
It turned out that the old man had a nephew, who heard the story that gambling stones could get rich overnight, so he hid from his family and played gambling stones, but instead of getting rich, he owed a lot of debts, and these pieces of wool were put here by his nephew to consign, and they were explained in advance, and they could not be sold without 80,000.
