Chapter 582: Old Talent (continued)
"That's too!"
Duan Kun nodded, then saw the box that Chu Chen put on the table, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Chen, while that guy hasn't come yet, can we come and admire this Guanyin statue of yours first?" β
"No problem!" Chu Chen smiled and took the Guanyin statue out of the box.
As soon as Duan Ning saw the Buddha statue that Chu Chen took out, he sighed lightly: "Hey, the material used for this Guanyin statue seems to be lapis lazuli!" β
"Yes!" Chu Chen smiled and nodded.
At this time, Liu Sizhe said with some surprise: "It is actually the six-character model of "Qianlong Imperial System of the Qing Dynasty", so it seems that the value is more than 100,000 at all!" β
"What! There is actually a royal model! Duan Ning was taken aback, and when Liu Sizhe appreciated it, he couldn't wait to appreciate it.
This statue of Guanyin is indeed extraordinary, its face is full, the top knot is high and the bun is in the shape of cirrus trowels, the eyes are slightly open to the lower house, the ears are hanging down the shoulders, and the face is calm and peaceful. The shoulders are broad, the rosary on the chest is spherical and high, the collar is decorated with round beads, the right hand is raised to make the Dharma seal, the left hand is to make the vow seal, and the knot sits in front of the treasure platform, and the robe worn presents a natural and soft clothing line, and the Dharma is solemnly preaching the Dharma.
The front and rear of the treasure platform have the six-character paragraph of "Qianlong Imperial System of the Qing Dynasty", the font is clear and three-dimensional, and the signature is the writing form of the palace office in the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty.
This Guanyin is the whole knee sitting, the shape is quite rare, the carving is quite delicate and delicate, and it is also carved with good lapis lazuli, and it is a complete piece of the imperial system, it can be said that it is very rare, very collectible and has the potential to appreciate.
Duan Ning praised this statue of Guanyin again and again. Such a good thing, in his shop. It can already be used as a treasure of the town store.
A little reluctant to put the things in front of Chu Chen, Duan Ning opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Chu." I take the liberty of asking, I don't know how you got this statue of Guanyin? β
Duan Kun hurriedly said, "Uncle Ning, this is what Brother Chen just picked up at the stall. β
Duan Ning was slightly stunned, and then asked, "How much?" β
Duan Kun gestured.
"Two hundred and thirty-five thousand?" Duan Ning exclaimed: "This Guanyin statue, I conservatively estimate that there are two or three million, and buying it at this price is already a big leak." β
"Not so much!" Liu Sizhe said with a grin.
"Is it twenty-three thousand five?" Duan Ning was even more surprised, and his voice trembled a little.
"It's two thousand three hundred and five!" Duan Kun Ha smiled. But while laughing, he was also very envious of this, more than two thousand actually became two or three million in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know how to describe the speed of making money.
At this time, Duan Ning was stunned, and bought two or three hundred utensils for more than two thousand, which was really a big leak.
After a while, Duan Ning came back to his senses and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up: "Amazing!" β
"It's just luck!" Chu Chen said modestly: "If it was you just now." Will definitely buy it too. β
"Not necessarily!" Duan Ning waved his hand: "If it's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, then I might believe that it will be true, as for two or three million things......"
Duan Kun nodded and said, "Yes!" Brother Chen, you are a master of art and bold, how can ordinary people believe that there are two or three million things in the stall! Since I don't even believe in it. Definitely won't buy it......"
"Xiao Duan, I'm here!"
Speaking of this, I suddenly heard someone shouting at the door of the store.
"The old man is here. I'm going to go out and ......."
Duan Ning said hello to everyone, and then got up and walked towards the door. Taking advantage of this period, Chu Chen also put the things back in the box.
Not for a while. Duan Ning walked in with an old man in his fifties, with gray hair and a lovely smile, this person should be the old talent in Duan Ning's mouth, but just based on this person's appearance, he is a good old man, if he hadn't learned the truth from Duan Ning in advance, the four of them would not have believed that this person's character would have such a big problem.
At that moment, the four of them all sighed, people can't look good, the sea can't fight, the ancients can't expect me!
Duan Ning first gave a brief introduction to the two sides, and then said: "Old man, it's not too early, you can take out the things quickly, but let's say it in advance, this time the things are for my nephew, if you fool me with things, I won't welcome you in the future." β
"Xiao Duan, if you put a hundred hearts, no matter how fooled I am, I won't fool you!" The old man patted his chest and gave a reassuring look.
Seeing this, everyone sneered in their hearts, if it was someone else, they could rest assured, for a guy like you who cheated on the dead and didn't pay for his life, even if he believed that the sow would go up the tree, he wouldn't believe you!
Then, the old man took out one of the two boxes he brought, opened the box, and said, "Don't believe it, do you know how I got this thing?" β
Duan Ning said with a smile: "Old man, you won't tell your own nonsense story again, right?" β
"How is it a nonsense story? I'm a real person! β
The old man said with a look of wrongedness: "This thing of mine was obtained from a friend of mine with great powers. Four years ago, an official bought some artifacts from the family of a deceased collector abroad through my friend at a lower price, and when my friend had already paid on his behalf, something happened to him. β
"Although my friend is richer, but there are too many things, although the price is cheap, but there are a lot of good things in it, which occupies a lot of his funds, so that he can't turn over his funds at that time, so he is in a hurry to sell this batch of things, I was also relatively tight at that time, and only bought five not very good."
"Of these five things, I only sold two pieces, and I have let the remaining three pieces be appraised by others, and I am ready to collect them myself, if it weren't for the urgent money this time, I wouldn't have sold them! You see, there's a ...... of fire paint printed on the customs down there."
The thing that the old man took out was a blue and white character Kong Ming bowl.
Kong Ming bowl is also called Zhuge bowl, its biggest feature is made of two bowls up and down bonding, the middle of the two bowls is empty, there is a round hole in the bottom of the bowl outside, people will call it "Kong Ming bowl" because of this "hole", Mr. Kong Ming's surname is Zhuge Mingliang, naturally called Zhuge bowl again. Actually, this bowl has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang at all.
Kongming bowl was first seen in the Longquan kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, the vessel is opened for the mouth, arc belly, circle foot, made of two bowls glued, the two bowls are hollow, because this kind of bowl is a kind of ritual utensils used in the upper society, so it is rarely seen.
The hole at the bottom of the outer bowl is to keep the food in the bowl warm after the boiling water enters the interlayer, so it is also called a warm bowl.
The Kongming bowl in front of you is a typical style, and the bowl is painted with the story of the Yellow Emperor as a vessel to teach future generations to "benefit from humility and full of losses". The eight immortal characters are painted outside, the drawing is smooth, the blue and white hair color is strong, in addition, there is a six-character regular script horizontal paragraph of "Ming Wanli Year System" below the mouth edge.
Under the old man's Kongming bowl, there was really a fire paint mark, which made Duan Kun very happy and relieved.
However, Chu Chen is not affected, now there are many people superstitious fire paint seals, in response to this psychology, some people will fake products "export to domestic sales", and when they re-enter the customs, they also deliberately declare them as antique works of art, and send them to the cultural relics management department to cover the fire paint seal.
In fact, the fire paint seal is only a permit mark that allows the exit of the country, and the experts of the cultural relics management department have only identified whether the item belongs to the cultural relics that are prohibited from leaving the country. Therefore, the fire paint seal of the cultural relics management department does not mean that it is the identification result of the authentic product.
Duan Kun took the Kongming bowl in his hand, and nodded again and again while looking at it, he was quite satisfied with this Kongming bowl, but although he felt that this bowl must be genuine, but for the sake of safety, he still showed Chu Chen and them first, and wanted to wait for them to say that there was no problem before bargaining with Lao Cai.
After a while, after Chu Chen and the others had seen it, the old man smiled and said, "How about it, my Kong Ming bowl is good." β
"Uh-huh!"
Chu Chen coughed lightly and said first: "This bowl is indeed not bad, but there is still a gap between it and the real thing." β
The old man immediately turned his face and said: "Chu Xiaoyou, you actually say that such a Kong Ming bowl is not true, what you said is biased!" β
Chu Chen was not angry, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, I have a basis for saying this." β
"You say!"
Lao Cai frowned, he really didn't lie just now, he was indeed preparing this bowl for his own collection, but now Chu Chen's sworn appearance made him a little unconfident, and he thought, is there really something wrong with my bowl?
"I'll just say two things!"
Chu Chen said: "First of all, from the perspective of painting layout and techniques, the paintings of the Wanli period seem relatively naΓ―ve, such as the inappropriate proportions of figures and animal patterns, and the layout of the ornaments of the carved vessels is not as multi-level as the previous dynasty. β
But what about the characters in this bowl? You see, although it looks good, it already has a bit of the painting style of the Yongxuan period, but on the utensils of the Wanli period, it is a bit nondescript, right? β
"This ......" The old man couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that this was the case, and when he came back to his senses, he opened his mouth and said:
"Maybe a craftsman happens to have that kind of craft?"
Having said that, he also knew in his heart that this was a strong word, antiques, a certain era has its own style, if there are four dislikes, then basically the possibility of a fake is very high.
Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about the painting style, let's talk about the hair color of this blue and white." Judging from the blue and white performance of this bowl now, it should be used back to green. When using the green, it must be matched with the appropriate proportion of stone green to achieve the desired effect of dense green......" (to be continued......)
