Through some introductions by Yang Qishen, Chen Yi understood some of the stories of the Dum brothers, as well as the auction prices of the glass crafts they made.

The highest is that a vase of nearly eight million yuan, and such high-quality handicrafts are now very rare, just like Chen Yi's plum pattern table lamp, worth six or seven million of the stock zài, in recent years, there are only two or three pieces, as for some other ordinary handicrafts made by the Dum brothers, the price is also in the range of more than 100,000 to tens of thousands.

And Chinese porcelain, can achieve this value, but countless, porcelain is the representative culture of China, and glass, but not the representative culture of the West.

If Western culture and art can be as beautiful as porcelain, then it is glass art, especially the Doom brothers, who integrated the scenery into glass art and created a piece of extremely beautiful glass art.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty of China, people at that time found and refined the glaze from the bronze, the Han Dynasty made zuò technology has been very mature, because of its magnificent color, the ancients also called it five-color stone, and was listed as gold and silver, jade, glass, ceramics, bronze five famous vessels of the first, and because of its fire to come, water to go to the craft characteristics, is considered by Buddhism to be the realm of thousands of years of practice incarnation, and regarded as one of the seven treasures of Buddhism.

Around the fifteenth century, glass in the West continued to move towards the path of industrial development, but Huaxia glaze was expensive in the royal family due to the smelting technology. In the hands of the clan, the secret was not passed on, and it was basically lost in the Ming Dynasty.

However, when the glaze faded out of the five famous Chinese artifacts and declined, the porcelain was in full swing and shining. The same material. In China and the West have different fates. This is related to the differences in cultural backgrounds and personalities between the East and the West.

Westerners pay attention to the beauty of the appearance, gorgeous, in the glass firing to add some metal oxides, can make the glass become colorful, magnificent, while the Chinese pay attention to the introverted and quiet, coupled with the infiltration and respect of Buddhist culture, porcelain, a kind of internal and external cultivation of utensils is more easily accepted by the Chinese people.

For example, the Song Dynasty attached importance to the spirit of Taoism, which produced a singleness. The elegant porcelain of the five famous kilns, the Yuan Dynasty admired the blue and white, created the earth-shattering blue and white porcelain, and the literati ink symbols of the Ming and Qing dynasties made porcelain and art achieve a perfect combination.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, in the long history and cultural inheritance of China, jade culture has always covered the light of glass, while in the West, jade is not valued at all.

It's just about value. Chinese porcelain is far more than Western glass crafts, and now glass crafts. The highest value cannot exceed 10 million yuan, and Huaxia porcelain, not to mention the splendid and beautiful porcelain in ancient times, just say that some modern porcelain masters, the fine porcelain made by zuò, can surpass most glass crafts.

Just like the fine porcelain made by Wen Lao, each piece is worth millions, and since Chen Yi discovered the secret method of making zuò in the firewood kiln, Huaxia porcelain once again shocked the whole world, this kind of porcelain crown, so that many people are amazed, the value of each piece of firewood kiln porcelain, to reach tens of millions.

The reason why the value is so different is that Chinese porcelain has experienced the development of various dynasties and generations, with the strong resource support of the royal family, and the process of making each piece of porcelain is much more complex than glass crafts, and in porcelain, it contains Chinese culture.

Chinese porcelain has experienced thousands of years of development, and although glass was discovered very early, the stage of rapid development is only one or two hundred years ago, which naturally cannot be compared with the splendid porcelain culture of China.

It's just that porcelain has the characteristics of porcelain, and glass crafts also have some advantages, just like this plum pattern table lamp, which is beautiful and elegant, and is the best storage in glass crafts.

"Thank you for your advice, I didn't expect to get a nice thing." Chen Yi looked at the plum-patterned table lamp on the table and said with a smile.

Yang Qishen smiled, "It's not bad, it's something that can be met but not sought, you kid must work hard to get all the treasures of the small island country." ”

"You said it, but you can't ask for it, I also want to find all the treasures, I have to see if I can meet them." Hearing Yang Qishen's words, Chen Yi smiled helplessly, in today's antique market, he walked around, and the most valuable thing he found was only this plum pattern table lamp worth six or seven million.

Yang Qishen nodded, indeed, if you want to find a treasure, in addition to eyesight, you also need to rely on luck, "Xiaoyi, our Yazang Auction House also has an office in a small island country, and tomorrow I will personally lead the team to a small island country to plan this calligraphy auction." ”

"Senior brother, just this little thing, it's worth your own shot, you should sit in Huaxia." Chen Yi smiled, this calligraphy auction was also planned by him in order to enhance his fame and let Kimura Yijian take the initiative to send it to the door, but he didn't expect that there was no auction yet, because of the three calligraphy on display, his fame has been increasing at a very fast speed.

"Haha, I also want to see our Chinese calligraphy, which is being scrambled by countless people in a small island country, this is an honor, how can I not be there." Yang Qishen laughed a little, his words full of pride.

This auction does not need to be publicized at all, just like every auction of Chen Yi in Huaxia, only two words of Chen Yi need to be typed, and countless people will flock to it.

Now, because of his junior brother, Yazang Auction House has become the most famous auction company in the country, which makes other large auction companies full of envy and jealousy, but unfortunately, they can only look at it, who let them not have such an auction artifact as Chen Yi.

The firewood kiln porcelain made by Chen Yi's company, as well as Chen Yi's calligraphy and painting works, each of them is something that everyone is rushing to buy.

Being able to hold this auction is naturally self-evident for the help of the Yazang Auction House, and it will definitely make the auction house famous in the world.

"Okay, then I'll be in the small island country, waiting for my senior brother." Chen Yi nodded, this calligraphy auction is nothing to him, but it is very important for the Yazang Auction House, which is in a stage of rapid development.

Yang Qishen shook his head and smiled, "You kid, let's meet tomorrow in the small island country." ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi looked at the plum pattern table lamp on the table, and his face showed some affection, this glass handicraft is indeed very well-made, in terms of value, although it is far less than some of the things he has, but the beauty of Cheng dù is not inferior.

At more than five o'clock in the evening, Fan Lao and Yuan Lao had not returned, and Sato Shinsuke had already sent a car to wait below, so Chen Yi called and said hello to the two old men, and took the car to the place where the party was.

The venue of this gathering is at the home of Sato Shinsuke, with his identity as a famous collector in the eastern capital, presumably his net worth is also very solid, and the people who play the collection, basically none of them have a thin foundation, otherwise, the family will be bankrupt, and it is estimated that they can't even afford a valuable antique and cultural relics.

The reason why so many real estate businessmen are vying to enter the antique circle is because they want to whitewash their identity as nouveau riche, and use one precious antique after another to show that they are both rich and educated.

It didn't take long for the car to drive to the villa area on the outskirts of the city, and then drove straight into one of the elegant villas, and after the car stopped, Chen Yi stepped out of the car and saw Shinsuke Sato waiting at the door of the house.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, welcome, I've been waiting here for a long time, your arrival makes me shine here." Watching Chen Yi get out of the car, Sato Shinji greeted him with a smile.

Even if he is an old man with gray hair, and Chen Yi is a young man, with Chen Yi's achievements and artistic level, it is worth waiting for here.

Getting to know Chen Yi is probably the idea of many collectors and artists nowadays, and it is because he met Chen Yi that a group of friends came to him and wanted to meet Chen Yi.

What he admires most is Chen Yi, a young man with great fame and achievements, but he doesn't have the slightest shelf at all, with his identity, if he invites the most famous calligrapher in the small island country now, he may still be rejected, but Chen Yi did not hesitate, so he agreed to this party.

"Mr. Sato is so gracious, and it is my honor to be here with you." Chen Yi said with a smile, and then shook hands with Shinsuke Sato cordially.

After greeting at the door for a while, Shinsuke Sato made a gesture of invitation to Chen Yi towards the door, "Mr. Chen, please come in, those friends of mine are also waiting inside, I will introduce them to you one by one later." ”

Chen Yi nodded, in fact, when he entered this villa, he already knew the identities of those people inside, including their physical numbers, health procedures, and skills, including what they were thinking in their hearts, and the existence of one of them made his face appear even richer.

Subsequently, Shinsuke Sato led Chen Yi into the villa house and came to one of the antique-looking rooms, although the villa is in Western style, but this house is completely Chinese style.

There are some quaint mahogany furniture inside, and the windows of the room are also decorated with ancient Chinese wooden window structures, including the chandelier on the ceiling, and on the walls of the room, some Chinese calligraphy and painting works are also placed, which adds some ancient charm to the whole room.

In addition, in the table or cabinet, there are also some Chinese porcelain and potted plants, so that everyone who enters the room seems to have returned to ancient China. (To be continued......) R1292
