When Liu Sizhe heard the price offered by Tang Hui, he almost scolded, you actually offered 100,000 HKD for this thing, and said that you would not lose money, but you are too shameless!

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly kicked Liu Sizhe secretly, asking him to pay attention to his image, in the antique business, most people like to ask for a sky-high price, and it is not surprising that people like Tang Hui are.

However, he offered such a price, Chu Chen was still a little uncomfortable, after all, he was introduced by Sun Dayou, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, even if the price is higher, but you don't have to be so outrageous, and Huzi is not a hot item, and the opening so high is simply to replace them as a wronged leader.

Since this is the case, Chu Chen no longer cares about Sun Dayou's face, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Tang, you should also know that even if Huzi is not a potty, it is mostly used for burial in the Jin Dynasty, and it is not a good thing in the market, the price you opened is really insincere, if you are really willing to buy, I will pay eight thousand, if you don't want to sell it, then please take it back!" ”

Chu Chen's understatement when he bought the two square prints before, which made Tang Hui feel that Chu Chen was very wealthy, so he wanted to make a price to see if Chu Chen was stupid and had a lot of money, but now it seems that Chu Chen obviously understands the market situation better, and his offer also made Chu Chen's attitude towards him a little cold, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Originally, at the price of eight thousand, Tang Hui was definitely unwilling, but he had another thing he wanted to sell to Chu Chen, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, this tiger is yours!" ”

Chu Chen didn't expect Tang Hui to agree in one bite, but he bought it for eight thousand. It's a small leak, of course he will laugh at it. Then he asked: "Shopkeeper Tang, I don't know what is in this box?" ”

Tang Hui opened the box with a smile. Then he took out the contents inside: "This is a pink and green fan turning bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

As he spoke, he also turned the bottle slightly, and to the surprise of the three girls, the bottle inside actually really turned up, and through the perforation on the bottle, you can see the different pictures inside, like a marquee, very novel.

"Rotating bottle", also known as "rotating bottle", "ring bottle", was popular in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The reason why this thing is called a "turnaround bottle". It is named after the fact that a rotatable inner bottle is set inside the hollowed-out bottle.

The "Rotary Bottle" bottle body is composed of an inner bottle, an outer bottle, and a base. The upper part of the inner bottle is the exposed bottle mouth, the bottle body is like a cylinder, there are decorative paintings, there are four seasons scenery, landscape figures, flowers, birds, insects and fish, etc.

There is a concave groove at the bottom of the bottle, the outer bottle is shaped like a lantern, the inner and outer bottles are placed on the bottle holder after closing, and the vertical shaft on the seat is embedded in the groove. In order to facilitate the viewing of the unpredictable scenery in the bottle, most of the abdomen has a hollow light, which is shaped like a mountain, a hollow or a wishful head.

When making a fun rotor bottle. First of all, it is necessary to deal with the rotating mandrel, make the bottom of the outer bottle into a raised chicken-heart-shaped button, and make the bottom of the inner bottle into a chicken heart groove that matches each other, and the button is in line with the groove. The inner bottle is sleeved with the outer bottle. Glue the shoulders of the outer and inner bottles first, and then the outer belly and inner bottom of the bottle.

It is extremely difficult to make a rotating bottle, and it is necessary to correctly grasp the drying rate of the outer bottle and the inner bottle. It is also necessary to grasp the shrinkage rate after firing, and there is a slight error. It will make the chicken heart button and the chicken heart groove do not match, and the previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, when making it, it requires superb craftsmanship.

Therefore, the rotary bottle can be said to fully reflect the exquisite level of craftsmanship at that time. And because of this, in the Qing Dynasty, this artifact was only the emperor's private play, the number was very limited, many people have never seen it, and its price is needless to say.

The heart-turning bottle in front of Chu Chen's eyes has an outward mouth, a thick neck, sloping shoulders, a bulging belly, and a circled foot. The outside of the bottle is made of pink and blue glaze, and the body of the vessel is depicted in gold and color, which is composed of banana leaves, ruyi cloud heads, upturned lotus petals, and treasure patterns. The neck is decorated with four boys, each wearing golden-red, light green, light pink, and sky blue clothes.

The baby play picture is also the traditional auspicious pattern of our country, the "baby play picture" decorative porcelain has carving, printing, painting and other techniques to decorate, the subject matter is diverse, the content is rich, the form of expression is diverse, the child is innocent, the posture is different, the elegance is lovely, the performance is incisive, expressing the good will of people to pray for more children and more blessings. The four children symbolize four happy events.

In addition, the belly of this bottle is hollowed out with lotus patterns, and decorated with pastel painting, and the inner tank is painted with white glaze pastel painting of goldfish in the river pond. The blue and white book on the outsole "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" is a six-character three-line seal book.

This bottle looks novel and unique, the craftsmanship is superb, and the combination of appliqués, carvings, carvings, painting and other craft techniques is amazing, fully reflecting the "novel and exquisite" characteristics of this type of vessel, which is extremely rare.

However, although this bottle is good, when Chu Chen saw it at a glance, he couldn't help frowning, because the moment the bottle was just taken out, he seemed to see a trace of fire on the surface of the bottle, if there was really fire, then the authenticity of the bottle would not need to be said.

Chu Chen quietly looked at the inside of this bottle, if in terms of craftsmanship alone, the feeling that this heart-turning bottle gave him was indeed breathtaking, if it was a genuine product, it was indeed of extraordinary value, but unfortunately, this was indeed a fake, and on this bottle, there was a discovery that Chu Chen was quite shocked.

When Chu Chen sat down again, Tang Hui said impatiently: "Brother Chu, my heart bottle is good, how about it, are you interested?" ”

"Pretty good!" Chu Chen smiled and nodded, based on Tang Hui's performance just now, even if Chu Chen knew that this thing was a fake, he would not point it out, not to mention that on this bottle, he also made a very amazing discovery, in order to better investigate, he would not point out the fact of the fake on the spot.

Seeing Chu Chen's statement like this, Tang Hui was overjoyed, and then hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then I will quote you a real price......

"Wait!"

As soon as he said this, Chu Chen interrupted him and said, "Shopkeeper Tang, to be honest, I do like this heart-turning bottle, but it's a pity that I don't have enough funds to buy it?" ”

Tang Hui couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "Brother Chu, we are also born and cooked twice, you don't have to worry too much about this, I will definitely give you a very favorable price!" ”

"Oh!" Chu Chen was happy at first, and then said with a sad face: "But now that I'm full, I only have 10 million, and I can't buy this heart-turning bottle with this little money, right?" ”

It's just that what made Chu Chen feel a little speechless was that Tang Hui didn't think about it, so he took over and said, "Ten million is enough!" ”

"Huh?" Chu Chen pretended to be suspicious and looked at Tang Hui for a while, and saw that Tang Hui's eyes were a little dodgy, before he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tang, have you forgotten, I also bought two square Tian Huang seal embryos!" Excluding the money of Tian Huang's embryo, I only have more than 8 million, how can this money buy this heart bottle, don't you say? ”

"That's too!" Tang Hui smiled, complaining in his heart that he was too anxious, which caused Chu Chen to have suspicions, so that he would have to spend his own tongue in the future.

Then, Chu Chen took the two Tian Huang seal embryos and the box of the tiger and got up to say goodbye to Tang Hui. And at this point, even if Tang Hui wanted to sell other things to Chu Chen, it was not realistic.

After settling the bill, the group walked out of the store a few steps, Wu Ke asked with some curiosity: "Ah Chen, is there a problem with that bottle?" ”

Liu Sizhe sneered: "Just like Tang Hui just now, it's obvious that there is a problem!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "There is indeed a problem with that bottle, if it is true, then it should be at least 1,200 to 15 million, based on the previous price of Tang Hui, if it is genuine, he will definitely open it to 30 million, but now he says that 10 million is enough, do you say there is a problem?" ”

Wu Ke nodded and said, "It's true!" Tang Hui is really not authentic, knowing that you were introduced by his friend, you still do this kind of thing! But that bottle is really quite rare, and it would be nice if it was genuine! ”

"Everyone has his own thoughts!" Chu Chen said: "As for the turning bottle, if it is genuine, I will consider five or six million, and if it is more than ten million, then even if I buy it, I don't want to collect it." ”

"For what?" Everyone was a little curious about what Chu Chen said.

Chu Chen explained: "The Qianlong period can be said to be the peak period of the development of porcelain, and the turning heart bottle basically belongs to the "most crazy after the peak" of this most prosperous period. In order to satisfy the emperor's greed and curiosity, the craftsmen dug out their hearts and even spared no expense to create the "high-tech" porcelain in the world at that time, consuming the power of a country only for personal hobbies, such "things" are actually extremely evil. ”

Moreover, I think the greatest value of the turnaround bottle is only reflected in the "craftsmanship", when the "craftsmanship value" of a piece of ware is too eye-catching, it means that its "cultural value" is getting weaker and weaker. In other words, in my eyes, the turn-a-heart bottle may not be called a "work of art", but at best an "ancient artifact". Compared with the status of the five famous kilns in my eyes, it can be said that it is far behind! ”

Speaking of this, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Of course, this is just my personal feeling, this kind of bottle belongs to a relatively rare object after all, in terms of rare and expensive, its price must be very expensive, if there is a chance, and the price is more appropriate, I will definitely buy it, as an investment is still very good!"
