Chapter 319: Auction (2)
However, there are not too many people on the scene who are interested in this jade Ruyi, even Chu Chen, there are only seven.
After Chen Dayou waited for Zuihou to return to his seat, he spoke: "This is a Qing Dynasty green jade carved landscape figure Ruyi, the starting price is 50,000, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 each time, and the auction will start now!" ”
As soon as the words fell, someone quoted the price: "Eighty thousand!" ”
"Eighty-five thousand, I said Lao Lin, can you not increase the price so violently, take your time, every time you have you, the price of zuihou is always three or four points higher, can you change this problem in the future?" There was a middle-aged man behind the man, who complained while making an offer.
"Eighty-eight thousand! Hehe, Lao Zhou, if you don't like my offer like this, don't follow me, so you won't have any troubles! Lao Lin said with a smile.
"Ninety thousand! Do you think I'm willing to follow you behind your ass, if I didn't want to take it down as a birthday present for my father-in-law's 70th birthday, do you think I'd be willing to follow you and mix it up? ”
"Ninety-two! Lao Zhou, I also bought it as a gift, don't fight with me, can you change something? ”
Lao Zhou blew his beard and glared and said, "Why should I change it!" You can't change it? Lao Lin, let me tell you, this is what my wife specially confessed, if you spoil my good deeds, be careful that I am in a hurry with you! Ninety-five thousand! ”
"Oh, Lao Zhou, no wonder you are so stubborn today, it turns out that it is because your wife takes care of you! Lao Lin, you have to work hard today! You must get your wife's yard back! A middle-aged man next to him said with a smile.
Seeing that Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were a little confused, Wang Xiangong explained with a smile: "The person just now is called Zhou Zhiming, and he is very afraid of his wife. Generally, the words of the wife are regarded as holy decrees. ”
"In addition, that Lao Lin has a good relationship with Zhou Zhiming. However, the wives of the two of them are incompatible, as long as they meet together. will be sneering, and if you don't do it, you will scold, Lao Lin is a short-term character, I heard that Lao Lin's wife suffered a big loss last time, and it is estimated that there will be a good show to watch today. ”
"Lao Zhou, if you don't mention your wonderful wife, I can still let you go, today I tell you, don't spit out the 10,000 yuan my wife lost, don't think about it! 110,000! ”
"Damn. Lao Lin, are you really here? 120,000! ”
"Twelve hundred and fifty thousand! ……”
Seeing that the quotations of the two sides were getting higher and higher, Wang Xiangong frowned and said: "These two guys have made a real fire, and if they continue like this, it is estimated that they will not be able to end." ”
And the expressions of the other people at the scene also began to be solemn, these two people are not hitting the south wall and do not look back, they are not easy to persuade if they want to, which makes the friends of the two feel a little difficult for a while, especially the person just now. He originally just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and his expression began to become anxious.
"I'll give 160,000!"
At this time, everyone suddenly heard someone else quoting the price. Everyone looked back and saw that it was none other than Chu Chen.
Chu Chen said, "I'm ashamed to say it. When I was apprenticed before, I didn't give my master a decent gift. However, because the master did not allow me to give valuable things, I couldn't find a suitable gift for a while. I think this jade Ruyi is just right, and please let the two big brothers be able to fulfill it! ”
In fact, Lao Zhou and Lao Lin, for the sake of their own face, are now difficult to ride a tiger, and now with Chu Chen's reason, of course, they agreed to the situation, and because of Liu Lao's factors, both of them saved their faces, and there was also a trace of gratitude in their eyes when they looked at Chu Chen for a while.
And the other people on the scene, because Chu Chen was able to stand up and resolve this dispute, all smiled kindly at him.
After Chu Chen took back the jade Ruyi, Liu Sizhe hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, did you lose the price you quoted?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "This price is higher than the market price, but when I traded just now, I was given a five% discount, not only did I not lose money, but I also made a little profit." Besides, I just said that this thing was given to the master, so I don't have to worry about it. ”
In terms of value, green jade is far inferior to mutton fat jade and white jade, if this Ruyi material is replaced with white jade of the same quality, the value is estimated to be more than five times, but in addition to the price factor, green jade also has its own characteristics.
The block of green jade is generally relatively large, and the texture is delicate, warm and oily, and at the same time, some green jade has very haode toughness due to the dense intertwined structure, which is an important raw material for making thin tire utensils.
And at the beginning, the use of green jade was also larger than that of white jade, until the Han Dynasty, white jade began to be valued, so that until now, the price of white jade is several times that of green jade.
However, because of the depletion of Hetian white jade resources and the continuous expansion of market demand, coupled with the rapid growth of China's economy has brought about cultural prosperity, the plot of the national "gentleman loves jade" has been stimulated, and the number of people who collect Hetian jade has been growing.
"Brother Chen, are you really going to give this jade Ruyi to my grandfather?" Liu Sizhe asked with some surprise.
Chu Chen laughed and said, "In front of everyone, I said that I would give it to the master, how could I regret it?" ”
Liu Sizhe muttered when he heard this: "No wonder my grandfather likes you so much, and makes these people have a good impression, and pleases grandpa, Brother Chen, you are really a good person!" ”
Chu Chen casually gave him a brain seed, and scolded with a smile: "What kind of person is not good, is my scheming that heavy?" ”
Liu Sizhe said with a hippie smile: "Hehe, just kidding!" ……”
Just as the two were talking and laughing, two more things were photographed on the stage, a jade comb and a brush, which were sold for 15,000 and 12,000 respectively.
However, the next lot aroused everyone's interest, and Chu Chen even sighed lightly: "Reverse flow pot? ”
Reverse flow pots, also known as inverted pots and inverted pots, are a unique type of porcelain and are famous for their ingenious design.
The lid of the backflow pot is a fictitious lid that cannot be opened, and the pot needs to be turned upside down when filling the wine, and the wine is injected through a small hole in the base. When the pot is placed, the pouring hole does not leak. The secret lies in the fact that there are two risers in the pot, one leading to the umpulla and the bottom of the pot, because the upper hole of the ram on the ampulla is higher than the highest surface, when the flask is upright, the wine will not leak from the wine filling hole. The other riser is located at the spout, and the same principle ensures that the wine does not spill when it is fed.
At present, it is found that the earliest is the Yaozhou kiln blue glaze reflux pot in the Song Dynasty, which caused a huge sensation when it was exhibited and was known as "the first pot in China".
"You are not mistaken, this pot is the Northern Song Dynasty Yaozhou kiln green glaze backflow pot." Chen Dayou introduced to everyone: "This pot is 16 centimeters high, the whole is like a pear, and the upper part is made of a double-pedicle fake lid, which is false and cannot be opened. The top and abdomen are placed on one side of the flying phoenix handle, and the other side of the phoenix head is pasted with a mother and child lion. The lioness opens her mouth to make a pot flow, and the lion sucks under the lionesses's belly, and the shape is vivid and realistic. ”
"Between the shoulders and abdomen, there is a breast nail pattern and a vertical triangle pattern. The abdomen is engraved with a treasure pattern, and the lotus pattern is engraved for a week. The carved jishu is skillful, the blade is sharp, the lines are lively and smooth, and the layout is suitable. There is a large hole in the bottom of the abdomen, which can be filled with water when upside down, and there is no leakage in the upright position. Lap feet under the abdomen, slightly skimmed ......"
Before Chen Dayou could finish speaking, someone in the audience interrupted: "Old Chen, there is something wrong with this thing, why do I think it is exactly the same as the one in the museum?" ”
Chen Dayou was not angry at the man's interruption of his words, and said with a smile: "I said Lao Quan, can you not be so anxious, the appearance of this thing is indeed similar to that in the museum, but the height of the one in the museum is nineteen centimeters, this is only sixteen centimeters, and it is only a cut flower, and this is just a carved flower, as for the rest, you can come up and see for yourself, the thing is really not real, I can't pack a ticket." ”
After Chen Dayou finished speaking, everyone stood up at once, and those sitting in front of them ran directly to the stage and watched it, but immediately shook their heads and stepped down.
Next, everyone took turns to take the stage one by one, but most of them didn't seem to be very optimistic about this pot, but now it is an auction, and it may be that there is a suspicion.
Because of the time constraint, it was soon Chu Chen's turn, he took the pot in his hand, and first took a quick cursory look, only to see that the shape of the pot was complete, and the pulp was gratifying, which was obviously caused by frequent play. This pot tire is iron gray, with external makeup soil, and contains small black iron particles and pores, which is very in line with the characteristics of the Yaozhou kiln at that time.
The glaze is smooth and transparent, the glaze is green like olive, the thin glaze is turmeric, and the reverse side of the utensil is close to the foot and the bottom of the glaze. These glaze leaks show small patches caused by some sauce-colored iron oxide. The lower part of the glaze outside the body of the vessel is faintly revealing some light brown, which is due to the high iron content of the fetal soil. And these are in line with the characteristics of the process at that time.
In addition, the decoration technique of this pot is the carving with relief characteristics, and the carving process appeared late in the early Song Dynasty, and this period has reached the highest level, known as the "crown of celadon carving in the Song Dynasty".
Engraving is also known as "partial knife", that is, first use the knife to vertically carve out the contour line of the pattern, and then use the knife next to it to engrave, and then remove the ground sandwiched in the middle of the knife mark after the straight and oblique carving, so that the pattern is protruding, and the glaze is less cut and poured to show the effect of clear patterns, shades and shades, and clear layers, with a strong three-dimensional sense.
The carving technique of this pot is superb, and the flowers on the pot are portrayed vividly, swaying and colorful, which is almost the highest level of carving in the Song Dynasty, which is quite rare.
zuihou, Chu Chen tapped his fingers on the body of the pot, his voice was crisp, as the so-called "hit its sound, sonorous as well", so far, even if he doesn't use his ability, he can already be sure that this should be a genuine product, and after hundreds of years, the condition is still so complete, it can be said to be a rare treasure.
