Chapter 728: Calligraphy Appears
Under the magnification of the screen, the people in the entire venue can clearly see the appearance of this white jade pen holder, and there are some traces of black ink on this white jade, which is enough to prove that this is an old object used by many people.
Chen Yi looked at the white jade pen holder, although it was from the Qing Dynasty, but its jade grade and quality were not very good, so although it looked ten centimeters long, the price was only thirty or forty thousand Hong Kong dollars.
In this auction venue, although only the pictures can be seen, but with the pictures, Chen Yi can also see some suspicions, and a few days ago, the auction house held a preview, some of the cultural relics, all appeared in the preview, he also went to watch it, to determine the authenticity of the God of Flowers Cup.
As for some other antiques, he really has no interest, with the rise of the antique industry in recent years, the fakes that appear in the auction house, it can be said that there are countless fakes, just a disclaimer, all the responsibility is shirked, the reason is because of the difficulty of antique identification, similarly, there are also some auction behaviors for the benefit of a qiē.
Just like his brother's Yazang Auction House, there are many high-level antique appraisers, and some uncertain antiques must be strictly appraised by these masters to determine and ensure authenticity, which is also a big advantage of Yazang Auction House.
Soon, this white jade carved pen holder was sold for 33,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was a good start for this auction.
"The next one, the Qing Dynasty gourd Wandai piece, five .7 centimeters high, the gourd is a multi-seeded herbaceous plant, and because of its homonym Fulu. Therefore, there is a long blessing. The meaning of future generations. This piece of jade is carved from white jade, on the gourd, there is a figure hugging each other, the starting price, 23,000 Hong Kong dollars, each time the card is not less than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”
Seeing this gourd, some people couldn't help but be interested and raised their cards one after another. "This Mr. No. 3 bid 24,000 Hong Kong dollars, 24,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Fu Lu took it home."
"Twenty-five thousand, this gentleman on the thirty-fifth bid twenty-five thousand......"
In the end, the price reached 48,000 Hong Kong dollars, and when no one bid, the auctioneer directly struck the hammer three times, "This gentleman on the 58th, 48,000, Fu Lu took it home." Congratulations. ”
Next, there were two or three hundred pieces of jade that were auctioned. This led to the auction of porcelain, which was very popular in the antique world.
The auction is going on very fast, in this piece, not every one of these more than 200 pieces of jade has been bidd, many of them have been unsold, some jade does not have much collection value, even if they are bought, the appreciation will not be very large.
The auction of porcelain, from blue and white to colorful, from glaze to underglaze, can be said to be a fierce competition, in which the order of appearance is not arranged by price, and random, there are high prices, there are also low prices, and there are more Ming and Qing dynasties and Republic of China porcelain mixed together.
The auction of this porcelain, it can be said that it is more intense than jade, a large part of porcelain, more or less have people bid, a piece of jade at home, small others can not see, big value will not be very high, but porcelain is different, placed in the cabinet, enough to make the whole study grade a lot.
Even if he is not interested in these porcelains, Chen Yi is also observing them one by one, but if he wants to identify them, it is impossible, if what is displayed on the big screen is a live broadcast, then he can identify it, but now he is putting pictures, he can't identify it, or rather, his identification level has not yet been reached.
It's just that, even without identification, with his current eyesight, the features and flaws in these porcelains can't escape his eyes.
This is the result of Chen Yi's continuous learning and training, not just when he used the appraisal technique when he was appraising antiques, and the rest of the time, he didn't do anything.
In this world, any help may only be temporary, only the ability you have, is permanent, this identification system came very suddenly, who knows if it will disappear suddenly in the future.
Although it is a class of antiques for auction, some of the most precious things will be reserved for the final appearance by any auction house.
Finally, after more than two hours of auction, a total of nearly six or seven hundred antique artifacts were auctioned, and the auctioneer paused for a while, "Everyone, what follows is the fine antique artwork at the bottom of our auction box, some of which you have been waiting for a long time." ”
"The first lot is a Qing Kangxi blue and white stone into a sheep cup, I believe you all know, the Qing Dynasty Kangxi period of the blue and white cup decorative patterns are based on a complete set, such as what twelve flower god cups, drink in the eight immortals and the like, and like this single cup for the independent story is very rare, the outer wall of the blue and white cup belly painted with the story of the emperor Chu Ping stone into a sheep, about the allusion to this stone into a sheep, if you are interested, you can check it after the auction."
"This blue and white cup, the hair color is elegant, the character depiction is vivid and lifelike, such a delicate figure is extremely rare in the porcelain of the early Qing Dynasty, so the starting price of this lot is 350,000 Hong Kong dollars, and each time the card is raised, it must not be less than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars."
This first lot really attracted everyone's attention, many people did not hesitate to raise their cards to participate in the auction, in the previous auction brochure and preview, they all saw this blue and white cup, so many people decided to bid for this cup.
Looking at this cup, Chen Yi smiled, this cup was indeed made during the Kangxi period, but it was not an official kiln, but a cup imitating an official kiln.
As for the stone into a sheep, Chen Yi also knows the origin of its allusion, after he entered the antique circle, he has seen countless antiques, the same way, the various books he has watched, is also very much, the story represented by this idiom, is that there is a sheep herding baby named Huang Chuping, since he was a child, his family was poor, and he drove a group of sheep to graze on the grass in front of the village every day at the age of eight, and on the day he was fifteen years old, he went out to herd sheep, and the people and sheep were gone.
More than 40 years later, at the beginning of the market, he met a Taoist when he was in the market, and asked the whereabouts of the Taoist Chuping, and the Taoist told him that there was a shepherd in Jinhua Mountain, and I don't know if it was Chuping.
Chu Qi hurriedly begged this Taoist to lead him to find his relatives, and when he arrived at Jinhua Mountain, he found Huang Chuping in the cave who had not changed his face and was still young.
Brothers met, the first to ask Chu Ping, only to know that he was fifteen years old when he went out to herd sheep, was taken by an immortal to this stone room to practice, since then extraordinary, devoted to cultivation, forty years of not eating the fireworks of the world, finally realized the mystery of cultivation, has long been homeless, between joy and sorrow, the beginning of the question of the whereabouts of the sheep.
And Chu Ping said, all on the slope outside the stone cave, when I first went to the cave to see, there were only pieces of white stones lying in the grass on the hillside, there were no sheep at all, at this time, Chu Ping smiled, the sheep are there, but you can't see it, said, he shouted, smack, smack, sheep up, all over the mountain of white stones rose in response, all became sheep.
This is the story of the stone into a sheep, but also to describe the Tao after the cultivation of the fruit, in the porcelain that has been circulated in China for thousands of years, it can be said that there are many cultures in it, which is also the reason for the splendid Chinese culture, not only can the culture be transmitted through guò books, other porcelain, jade, the same can be true.
Many people have a strong interest in this blue and white cup, and they have bidd, and the final price reached 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is also a new record for this auction.
Next, another piece of fine jade, a white jade carved citron plate, was auctioned, and the transaction price reached 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new record again.
The citron plate is a kind of small fruit plate furnished in the study of the ancients, in which yellow citron or bergamot is often placed in it, which can emit a pleasant aroma, just like a purple clay pot, after being placed by many people, this citron plate already has a strong aroma stored in zài.
Next, the starting price and transaction price of fine antiques are also rising, each one is more exciting than the other, which is also the last madness of an auction.
Finally, after the sale of a HK$4 million item, the auctioneer paused here and did not immediately switch to the next lot, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next piece of art may be what many of you have been waiting for for a long time, and it represents the splendid culture of China." ”
"It took a lot of trouble for our auction house to find the works created by this person, and many people may not have seen his works, but anyone who knows calligraphy, and those who see it, are all amazed."
"I believe you have guessed that this is a calligraphy work made by Mr. Chen Yi, who recently discovered the oil painting of Zeng Fanzhi Union Hospital in the Hong Kong antique market, and this calligraphy work has been appreciated by Gu Lao of the Hong Kong Calligraphy Association and Mo Lao, a famous collector of Hong Kong antiques, and left their appreciation seals on it."
Speaking of this, the auctioneer couldn't help but show a touch of excitement on his face, "To be recognized by Gu Lao and Mo Lao, two masters, you can imagine how precious this calligraphy is." ”
Originally, hearing the words of the auctioneer, Wang Shijie also felt that the next thing to appear was definitely his own flower god cup, which could represent the splendid culture of China, but he didn't expect that it was Chen Yi's calligraphy in the end, and he couldn't help but show annoyance on his face, and even more disdain.
Chen Yi was at the racecourse and said that he would also auction two things at this auction, but he went to see the preview and the auction book of the auction house, and did not find any calligraphy works about Chen Yi, and said that he wrote it himself.
But hearing the words of the auctioneer now, Chen Yi's calligraphy undoubtedly appeared, and was so praised by the auctioneer, which made him full of disdain, the calligraphy written by a young man was so boastful, and there was no bid at that time, see what you do. (To be continued......)
